“Lulla’s in Williamsburg is quietly becoming one of the most compelling Venezuelan bakery and brunch experiences in New York. There is a clear intention here: to reinterpret the high-end bakery culture of Caracas through a contemporary Brooklyn lens, and it works more often than not.

You walk into a space that balances warmth and design with surprising precision. The room feels intentional, never overcrowded, with a rhythm that shifts between coffee service and full brunch energy. The presence of a full bar elevates the concept beyond a typical bakery, positioning it as a true all-day dining experience.

What stands out most is the emotional connection. There are real Ratatouille moments here. Flavors trigger memory without falling into cliché. The execution is thoughtful, particularly in the panadería program, where the team shows a genuine understanding of texture, fermentation, and balance. It’s not nostalgia for the sake of it, it’s controlled reinterpretation.

Ale and Ivo are clearly building something with identity. This is not a copy of Caracas, but an evolution of it. The result lands in that rare space between comfort and ambition.

In a city saturated with concept-driven openings, Lulla’s manages to feel personal. A Venezuelan bakery with a cocktail program shouldn’t feel this coherent, but here it does.

High-end, yes. But more importantly, intentional.“

“Probably the best brunch I’ve had in Astoria so far. My bf and I LOVE food, and this is GOOD FOOD. Omg, I’ve been dreaming about the cachapa since I had the first bite.

Service is extremely friendly, feels like a neighborhood spot. Owners are super nice and personable. Music is fun. If you’re hispanic you’ll probably love it here. 🇻🇪 Try the passion fruit mimosa on a Saturday morning with an empty stomach because my goodness, you WILL be full. 🤩 Fair prices too. We left fat and happy.“

“Everything was absolutely DECADENT.I ordered their pulled beef bowl as a main it had the perfect mix of fresh greens, savory beans and rice, sweet plantains, refreshing avocado and the sauciest flavorful beef!I got their tequeños and Yucas as starters and they were also so delicious and their sauce paired perfectly.Price is so reasonable for the portions. Would highly recommend and I will be back. Get their passion fruit drink ?

Vegetarian options: Cachapa (corn flower pancake), empanadas with cheese, arepas with cheese, tequeños.

Dietary restrictions: Their arepas are gluten free! Tons of vegetarian options.“

“Just had a serious Venezuelan feast at Empanadas Mix 🇻🇪 and I’m still recovering like a champ. 💪
Walked in hungry… walked out questioning my life choices (in the best way). The Pepito Mix sandwich loaded with beef and chicken was basically a heavyweight champion between two pieces of bread. Then came the arepas—thick fried cornmeal shells stuffed with carne asada, pork belly, sweet plantains, special sauce, and a mountain of shredded queso. That’s not a snack… that’s a strategy for survival. 😅
Washed it down with fresh passion fruit juice and a cold Maltín Polar like a true gentleman of culture.
Shoutout to my waitress Paola, who patiently guided me through the menu while I pointed at everything like a kid in a candy store. The place is small, cozy, full of Venezuelan music, and the staff are incredibly kind.
Moral of the story:
Came for empanadas… stayed for the Venezuelan flavor knockout. 🥊🔥
I’ll definitely be back. Hungry. Again.“

“@La comida muy sabrosa👍😍Y las personas son muy amables🙂🙂🙂 La verdad amo comer allí 😍😍😍“

“Everything I ate was excellent, service was on point, and staff made the experience better. Their staff showed consideration alongside welcoming manners. Even basic dishes get special presentation treatment. This place exceeds customer expectations. The restaurant performs perfectly.“

“Amazingly delicious, filling and inexpensive. Their empanadas deserve a Michelin star“

“If you were to say I only came around this particular spot because of the current events going on in Venezuela, you might be right. I've visited many Latin American restaurants but I don't think I've checked the box next to Venezuela so this would be a first time entry for me.

Going inside the area, it's relatively small but since I was the only customer at the time, it was spacious. The waitress Paula was a sweetheart and served me well as I was figuring what to take on in this restaurant. I went for the standard Arepa Burger, fries and for dessert, I did want the brownie with ice cream but they didn't have that available so I settled for churros with nutella. The wait wasn't too long, very much short of 8 minutes when everything was set.

The Arepa burger came loaded with Shredded beef & Chicken, black beans, Shredded white cheese & maduros. For what it's worth, you'll get your fill from this makeshift burger, it was so filling. The fries were done with excellent detail, firm crisp texture along with taste and goes pretty well with the Ketchup & Mayo mixture the place had with one of their condiment bottles. When it came time to take on the churros, I immediately got thrown off because they're not the churros I'm normally used to. Instead what was smothered with the nutella happened to be cheese sticks and at first I thought it was a mistake but seeing pictures on here, that's basically what it is. I do love cheese sticks and I do love nutella, but in my opinion they're not meant to be combined so I had to forgo it. Everything else was top notch.

The food was very decent and the service was proper so everything I got was $23 and I threw in a $7 tip to round it off to $30 total for the meal. They got many different variants of Arepa sandwiches so there is certainly revisit value in this place and I can go for that.“

“Best experience ever, the food was prepared from a chef that loves cooking and knows how Peruvian food has to taste.

The waitress was attentive, polite, friendly and managed our order very well.

The place was clean and welcoming.

We came by recommendation also from their social media page that posted about this place.

We drove around an hour and a half to this wonderful place and we will definitely coming back.“

“Absolutely delicious. Great location and atmosphere.“

“I’ve been following Titi’s for a while now and finally made my way to the store let me tell you it was so worth driving through traffic.

I ordered the oxtail ( so good make sure you use the juice )

I also ordered the chicken and cheese ( use the hot sauce) so good 10/10

I also ordered the cuben sandwich so good I wanted another one

Last thing I got was the cheesecake and guava I wish I would had ordered two.

This is a great place to visit the staff is friendly and welcoming I’ll be back for more.“

“I absolutely love this place! The food is fenomenal! Every time I come I order a different dish and they never disappoint. The owner is very friendly, the atmosphere is nice to have a date or come eat with friends and family. I'm bringing all my friends here 100% recommend.“

“Is delicious food and good service“

“Ordered take out and it was ready, but still hot after my walk there. Had the El Ché and La Flaca arepas, cilantro rice and beans, and a sweet plantain with queso. The arepas had a really interesting and tasty combination of fillings, but were a bit dry. I think they’d benefit from an extra side of sauce. The rice and beans were on the bland side, I think they’d be fine with a squeeze of lime, sprinkle of queso fresco and sour cream. The plantain with queso was wonderful - you really can’t go wrong with those. I got all that food for about $22 which I think is super reasonable as it was very filling and I had some leftovers. I’d definitely go here again, but I’d probably get some extra sauces on the side and add sour cream and queso fresco too - that would make a huge difference for me!“

“Try their Pabellon Arepa! You will forget your name and lose your mind. It is a masterpiece, chef-d'oeuvre. Insanely delicious. And don’t leave it unattended on the table! I am from upstate New York. We have hundreds of Mexican restaurants up there and none of them can make Arepa even close to La Napa’s.“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“

“BEST VENEZUELAN EMPANADAS IN TOWN!!
We ordered through Uber Eats and they arrived in about 20–30 minutes, still warm and absolutely delicious. Perfectly crunchy on the outside, with generous filling in every bite. The meat was beautifully seasoned, not too salty, not bland at all. You can really taste the care put into them.
I 100% recommend them and will definitely order again!“

“Omg i had a yuyon its a sweet platain sandwich with steak lettuce and tomato its a fact u will return for another one they are so awesome customer service is so great the employees treat you with kindness i really recomend it to anybody give it a try u will not regret it.“

“Si estas en NY tienes que ir Comer ponerle todas las salsas y tomarte una foto cool 😎“

“Y son had cachapa with a friend about 2 weeks ago and has been raving ever. We finally went with him on Saturday and returned on Sunday. We ordered cachapas, Chimi, yaroa and monfonguitos. All were good I would say the portions are big for 1 person small for 2. The juices were good as well.“

“Food, smoothies, juices, coffee are great and the service is very warm and professional with quick an accurate service.

Vegetarian options: Variation of salad

Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp entrance.“

“My family is from Venezuela and I was visiting my husband’s family in West NY, so I found this little spot and it brought me back! They have all the sweet treats when I was a kid (Toronto, Suzy, Cocosette). I wanted to try it all so I had the mixed Venezuelan platter, con tequeños, arepitas con carne y pollo, yuca, and empanaditas. I also got some bebidas de Parchita y Guanabana for me and the hubby. It was yummy and worth going back! Gracias!“

“love all of them 💕 Best I've had in life“

“I was there yesterday to try the food for the first time and I must must say that The food at Patacon Pisao in Elmhurst it’s delicious 😋, amazing plantains stuffed with pull pork!! Is the best hands down!!!“

“Their Patacon is truly special. The fresh lechuga, tomatoes, & creamy sauces rich with flavor all compliment the well seasoned shredded beef. One of my favorite comfort foods so I was extremely excited to have found this place near my area. I’ll definitely be coming back & trying their Arepas, Tacuchos, & Cachapas.“
