Charming and cozy little hidden gem! If you're looking for a cozy spot that feels like stepping back in time it’s a must-visit! The vintage-style decor makes you feel as you've entered a warm, 1800s caffè. The blend of antique pieces and modern art creates a unique vibe that I absolutely loved. Nutella croissant was heaven — generously filled with Nutella and perfectly flaky. The Argentinian Alfajores melts in your mouth and are a sweet, delicate treat you shouldn’t miss. Iced lattes that we tried with my friend was a dream, and the one with Rose syrup had just the right balance — not too sweet, but with a lovely floral touch. The baristas were super friendly and welcoming. Whether you're meeting a friend for a coffee date, taking an afternoon break, or looking for a quiet spot to study, this place is perfect. Definitely planning to come back!

Café Luli on Stevenson Rd is an absolute treasure! Their strawberry matcha is hands down the best matcha I’ve ever had. It’s perfectly balanced, smooth, and incredibly refreshing. It’s worth going out of your way just to experience it! The café itself is posh and chic, with a beautifully curated interior that makes you want to stay and soak in the vibe. The service was outstanding which was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even more special. Special thank to our to Sarah who took great care of us!

We couldn't wait for this to open. They have done such a great job making this place so homey and cute! The ham and cheese croissant was banging and they made me a tea latte that was perfect. Every detail from the music, to the flowers, the napkins, the sugar cane sticks, is just perfect.

What a gem!!!! Found this coffee shop driving through the back roads in Baltimore County. They opened about a month ago. The blueberry muffin and alfajores were amazing. Was surprised with a free coffee for being military. Please stop by for some great pastries and coffee.

A new spot that exceeded my expectations! My latte was so silky smooth! Grabbed a warm chocolate-chunk cookie (gooey pockets of chocolate everywhere) and an “everything” croissant dripping with melty cheese. Chef’s-kiss good. The edgy, gallery-worthy art sprinkled around makes hanging out here feel effortlessly cool. Top it off with staff who greet you like an old friend, and you’ve got a spot that’s impossible not to love. See you again soon, Luli!

I went to cafe Luli for the first time today! I got the Nutella croissant, which was perfection. It had flaky buttery layers, the right amount of Nutella, and a nice dusting of powdered sugar and hazelnut pieces on top. I got an iced oatmilk latte which was also great! They had homemade syrups available for the coffee. The purchase was a little expensive, but it’s worth it since they use excellent quality ingredient. There was room to sit upstairs with multiple small circular tables. The tables had cute bouquets of paper flowers! The service was great- friendly employees and got our order quickly. Would definitely recommend stopping by!

Excellent European style baked goods! Strong coffee very necessary for on the go moms! Cute outdoor patio. Huge parking lot. Possibly the best chocolate chip cookie and Nutella filled croissant iv ever had. Perfect addition to the Stevenson neighborhood.
