About
Lulu created the iconic Lulu’s Coffeehouse on the rim of Yale’s campus, which opened on April 4, 1991.
As a single mother, undercapitalized, and with no business experience, she turned her business into a phenomenon through hard work and brave ideas, garnering articles in more than seven national publications, including Harper’s and The New Yorker Online.
Lulu was interviewed on NPR’s Marketplace and mentioned in four novels, including the beautiful memoir by the poet Elizabeth Alexander, “The Light of The World.” Philip Langdon quoted Lulu liberally in his latest book, “With Walking Distance.”
Lulu was visited by legends, including French filmmaker Konstantinos Costa-Gavris, French journalist Eric Rouleau, who was previously ambassador to Turkey, Harold Bloom, and many others, where professors and grad students mingled with neighbors, young and old.
It was a place to gather and relax. Customers and friends were encouraged to discuss politics and social issues “unchained.”
A laptop ban was implemented to protect the importance of conversation, connection, and community. Link below:
As an entrepreneur, I have always followed my intuition and unconventional thinking, and they have never let me down. Owning Lulu allowed me to travel the world and live 100 lives. Now, you can savor the stories, recipes, and memoir.
