Lula Perl Café

08/28/2026

Saturday at Lula Perl looks a little like this: hot coffee, golden waffles, perfectly runny eggs, big brunch plates, and a dining room full of good conversation.

Bring your people, settle in, and let us do the cooking. Brunch is served all day Saturday from 8 AM–2 PM.

See you soon.

Wednesdays just got a whole lot more comforting. 🥄

Back by very popular demand, Lula Perl’s Chicken & Dumplings returns this Wednesday and will be available Wednesdays only.

Tender chicken and sweet carrots simmered in a rich and creamy savory sauce, topped with our buttermilk dumplings and served bubbling hot in a cast iron.

You made it a huge hit, so we’re making Wednesday its day. Come hungry, because when it’s gone, it’s gone!
