Lu's Cafe Bakery - Lawrence

The bon mi chicken sandwich was packed with flavor, featuring multiple layers that made each bite delightful. The vegetables were fresh and crunchy, adding to the overall texture. The bread was perfectly soft yet had a nice crust. I also tried Vietnamese iced coffee for the first time, and I must say, I prefer it over regular iced coffee.

A local Facebook page has been singing the praises of Lu's, and they are absolutely justified! We ordered three croissant breakfast sandwiches, a giant cinnamon roll to share, and a hot Vietnamese coffee. Everything was exceptional. The staff could not have been friendlier, and their estimate for the time between my phone order and pickup was spot on! We can't wait to go back and try more items from the menu. They even included two complimentary chocolate chip cookies, which we saved for dessert after dinner.

Overall, the drinks here are quite good. I usually order the Vietnamese coffee, but I recently tried some of the food and I can't say I was very impressed. I had the Buffalo chicken wrap, which mostly consisted of lettuce, and my friend ordered the chicken sandwich, which was similarly about 90% lettuce.

I seem to have the worst luck ordering here. Every time something gets messed up. (I order a beef bahn mi and get chicken or ask for nothing in my coffee and they add cream) So those experiences in themselves made me hesitant to go back but today I was really craving their coffee. I asked for no ice because it ends up tasting like water when I 'm working outside. This is how much you get for $5. No place has ever ripped me off when I asked for no ice. They could have justsaid yeah but we only fill it 2/3 up and I wouldn 't have been so let down Two stars because the coffee is good but not worth all the frustration

Very fresh and very good food. The banh mi steak with jalapenos was excellent, as well as the Vietnamese iced coffee. The staff are super nice too. Definitely worth a visit. It can be very busy at lunch time, even to pick up a pre-order you may have to wait in line for several minutes.
