Get yourself a Breakfast Sandwich via Lulu Green
Let’s hear it for Lulu Green! Southie’s favorite plant-based fast-casual restaurant on West Broadway was listed in the Eater Boston Best Breakfast Sandwiches in Boston list! Here’s what Eater said below:
This beloved vegan restaurant in Southie piles on the flavors for its plant-based plates. For a Mediterranean-ish morning meal, check out the Brunch Sandwich 2.0, which puts a chickpea egg patty, tofu bacon, potato pancake, and cheddar on a grilled pretzel bun. The goodies are then topped with marinated kale, avocado, hot sauce, and tahini to temper the kick. Wash it down with the spot’s mint cold brew latte.
Try one this weekend! You can check out the full list here!Â
