Brooklyn, NY 11201

Cafe Luluc is a cash-only French cafe located on Smith Street in Brooklyn, known for its delectable pancakes, which are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, served with fresh fruit and local maple syrup. The menu features a variety of offerings, including pasta, crab cakes, and pulled pork sandwiches, all enjoyed in a bustling atmosphere that encourages early arrival due to the lack of reservations.

This beloved brunch spot is recognized for its old-school charm, where diners wait in line and jot down their names on a notepad, ensuring an authentic experience amidst a casual, neighborhood crowd. With a menu that occasionally includes Mexican specials and fantastic deals like pasta night and oyster specials, Cafe Luluc delivers great food at reasonable prices in a cozy setting.
