Variety of GF Baked Goods, Fewer Vegan Options - Edit
I’ll start with the caveat that I came specifically to buy baked goods to go and did not even attempt the restaurant menu. The three star rating is for the baked goods only. If you’re looking to dine from the menu, I’d suggest reading those who have reviewed the restaurant in its entirety. Lou’s has a relatively large selection GF baked goods. The vegan options, however, are fewer: three total and only one, the Breakfast Cookie, is both vegan and gluten free. The Nirvana Cookie is sizable, chewy, and delicious. Be warned, though, that it is rich and, for those who believe raisins never belong in cookies, this is not the one for you. Additionally of note, the Nirvana has chocolate chips. My daughter enjoyed both the Nirvana Cookie and the GF chocolate chip cookie, saying, “this is better than most regular cookies”.

Vegan “scramble” available - Edit
There is a pesto vegan scramble available. The tofu is cubed, not really scrambled. Choice of black beans or hash browns. Muffin (vegan earth muffin available) or toast. Ask them not to serve the butter with the muffin/toast. Acceptable breakfast option in “downtown” Hanover.

Pastry Heaven - Edit
Lou's is a true Gem of Hanover. This cozy little diner offers a wide assortment of pastries as well as a lengthy breakfast type menu.
Read moreTheir selection of baked goods is amazing, and though they only offer three vegan options, all three are absolutely delicious. These would be the Vegan Nirvana cookie--a soft pumpkin spice cookie with nuts, chocolate, and a bunch of other goodies that make it live up to its name; The Vegan Breakfast Cookie--a soft GF cookie with oats, banana, and coconut that is not too sweet and thus perfect for breakfast; and Earth Muffins--the most amazing muffins you will ever try. They are a sort of glorified carrot muffin featuring a bunch of other delicious ingredients like nuts, poppy, oats, bran, etc. Although vegan, they are not labeled as such for some reason. My favorite Lou's pastry.
Aside from baked goods, Lous' features a very ample menu with many breakfast and lunch options. At Lou's breakfast is served all day, so this is the perfect place for lovers of breakfast foods. As far as vegan options go, the menu offers fresh fruit, oatmeal, Lou's own recipe of a hearty breakfast porridge, a veggie burger, and a falafel sandwich. Many options on the menu are labeled as "veggie," which I do believe means they can be adapted for vegans.
Overall, this place is amazing and a definite must if you're in the area.
Pros: Amazing Pastries, Huge Menu, Nice ambiance
Cons: Few vegan options, crowded
