I must say that this gem was absolutely divine. While walking up, you can smell the food through the door. The blueberry muffins…..OMG melt in your mouth. When cutting into my muffin, I can literally see the steam coming up. Fresh, hot, and moist. Waffles were old fashioned style with just amount of crunch and super moist on the inside. The service was outstanding and we will most definitely be back!!

Food is amazing. They use local whole food ingredients. Very passionate owners who care about what their customers eat. My personal favorite dish is their chicken and dumplings.

I just recently tried this restaurant, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I tried the special of the day, which was "Braised Brisket with garlic cheese grits and roasted squash." My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this meal and will definitely be coming back! Came back again three days later to try some more food. Both the service and food was great. This time I ended up getting the lil' piggy sandwich, as well as the Boudin Cake.

I visited Lula Perl today and ordered coffee with a strawberry & cheesecake pastry. The pastry was delicious & tasted very rich. The lunch special included a large & thick porkchop with vegetables. Although the meal looked tempting, I felt it was too pricey. The atmosphere of the restaurant is open, clean, well lit, cozy and inviting. Breakfast and lunch are served. Guests can dine inside or outside, and, there is a drive through. The staff was friendly & hospitable. I will surely return for another pastry.

Looking for a brunch spot in Ruston and lucked up on this place. This was my first time here. Upon entrance I was very pleased. It was easy to find. Cutely decorated establishment. The service with me was a little off. They were slow to approach me which was odd because I was very nicely greeted by the gentleman who held the door open for me due to the rain. The service didn't get much better (lots of looking but not much assisting). The food however truly made up for it. I had the bacon, egg, and bacon croissant. It was so flaky and delicious. I also had peach sweet tea. I enjoyed each sip. There wasn't a long wait for my order. My only recommendations are to be sure to greet each of your customers with the same or similar enthusiasm. Be attentive and please thank them as they leave. If that improves this will be a 10/10. The picture doesn't do this any justice. It was really good.

Lula Perl was an amazing brunch experience. Have heard so much about this cafe // brunch gem. The quality is unmatched along with the coffee. Went on a specials Saturday to get a Cassoulet with boudin, brisket omelette & a pimento sandwich. The food is made with quality ingredients that leave you feeling full but not in a food coma. Was so delicious I put in a to go order that was enjoyed a couple of hours later. The homemade biscuits & bacon were the star, however everything was delicious. Will be back when they are open for dinner!

Just had the most delightful Good Friday breakfast on the patio among the fresh herbs and birds singing. My egg and cheese croissant was cute and delicious. All of the staff seemed happy to be at work and treated me royally!
