4.8 on Google · 209 reviewsI ordered a custom cake, I sent a couple of inspiration pictures and what they created was even better than I was hoping for. It looked and tasted amazing! Communication during the ordering process was clear and easy.
Lu’s Cafe has become my go-to breakfast spot most mornings! My absolute favorite is the breakfast bánh mì on a croissant, it’s seriously so good.
This place is awesome! I ordered my husband's birthday cake from here and it was SO good! He loved it. And they decorated it with a cute National Park design.
