About LuluBelle's
A coffee house and bakery built around community, good food, and a little bit of mountain magic.
LuluBelle’s Coffee House & Bakery began with a simple idea: what if you could build a life you loved in the place you loved?
For Michelle and Mike DiGiovanni, that meant making a home and a business right here in the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains.
Today, LuluBelle’s is a gathering place for Running Springs residents, mountain families, travelers making their way along the Rim of the World Highway, and anyone who happens to walk through the door looking for a good cup of coffee and something delicious to eat.
But LuluBelle’s has always been about more than food.
It’s about people.
From Banana Bread to LuluBelle's
Before there was a coffee house, there was banana bread.
Michelle began baking and selling her homemade banana bread at local outdoor markets, starting small with a popup and a cottage food permit. Before long, people wanted more.
The banana bread grew into cakes, pastries, and other baked goods. The little home kitchen that had started it all simply couldn't keep up.
At the same time, Michelle and Mike were looking for a way to build a life that didn't require a daily commute down the mountain. In 2019, they bought a former real estate office in Running Springs and began imagining what it could become.
There were walls to remove, a roof to reinforce, a massive support beam to install, and plenty of work ahead. But slowly, the building transformed...and LuluBelle’s was born!
So, Who is LuluBelle?
She's the dog!
The DiGiovanni family named the coffee house after their beloved dog, LuluBelle, a name that also somehow fits the personality of the place perfectly.
Warm, playful and familiar.
The kind of place where you can walk in as a stranger and leave feeling like you've been there before.
