Lulla’s (169 Graham Ave), which is billing itself as New York City’s first Venezuelan bakery, will open officially on Monday, February 3.
Led by restaurateur Ivo Diaz, his mother Isbelis Diaz, and Chef Diego Farias, all from nearby Casa Ora, Lulla’s is an inviting all-day cafe that will serve a selection of sweet and savory pastries, fresh coffee and espresso, and handcrafted cocktails, made in partnership with Leo Robitschek of Eleven Madison Park.
The bakery menu includes Mandocas (fried cornmeal fritters finished with butter); Tequeños (Venezuelan cheese sticks wrapped in a chewy fried dough); Cachitos (a flaky layered pastry studded with ham and melted cheese); Pan de leche (sweet milk rolls dusted with crunchy sugar); and Golfeados (Venezuelan sticky buns served with slices of Mano cheese). Additional bakery items such as pan canilla (baguette) and campesino (batard) will be available to take home.

Diaz has plans to launch brunch and a new coffee-infused cocktail program in the coming months, with plans to expand the menu further later this year.
