I’m so glad that Lola's opened an outlet in the East, I finally checked it out with my boyfriend and we left with very happy & full tummies! 😊 Their food is scrumptious and comes in very generous portions! ❤️ Everything we tried was amazing so I recommend all of them haha 😆 The cafe interior design and their crockery are very aesthetic ✨✨
What we ordered:
🌟 Lamb Shakshuka ($18)
We had to get this as my boyfriend loves lamb, it’s my first time seeing shakshuka served with lamb. The lamb imparted an interesting taste to the shakshuka and was not gamey yayy. The sauce was very generous, rich and flavourful 😋 it paired well with the sourdough! Overall the dish was warm, hearty, and comforting – perfect for a rainy afternoon ❤️
🌟 Pulled Duck Aglio Olio ($17)
It was packed full of flavour and the chilli gave it a kick XD The portions of pasta and pulled duck were generous 🫶🏻
🌟 Hot Matcha ($7)
Omg the matcha was very RICH 😩 and the right amount of bitterness, finally a matcha that meets my standards! 💚 It was the perfect drink 🍵 to warm me up on a rainy day 🌧️
🌟 Piccolo ($5)
The coffee was very strong, love the double ristretto shot and the cute heart shape latte art! 🤎🤍
🌟 Flourless Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream ($9.00)
Contains 70% dark chocolate, I love dark chocolate! The contrast of the warm, rich chocolate cake with the cool vanilla ice cream was HEAVENLY 🤤 It’s my first time trying flourless chocolate cake, it felt similar to a brownie. The scoop of ice cream they gave was big, luvv that 🫶🏻

saw the rave online about lola’s and so i went to try. the spicy crab pasta was a huge disappointment it was not good 😭 the ice cream and waffles were okay, the best thing is definitely their tater tots. overall, the food looks nicer than it tastes …

We have been frequenting Lola’s for breakfast since last year, and I can confidently say it’s one of our go-to spots. The service is consistently great. The staffs are always friendly and attentive. As for the food, it’s been nothing short of amazing every time.
The coffee is a standout for me. It’s rich, solid, and always hits the spot.
The space is fantastic too, with two floors that provide a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. I can’t recommend it enough!

This was my first visit to the restaurant, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The ambience was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. Each dish was not only unique in flavor but also beautifully presented, showing great attention to detail. The combination of taste and plating made the dining experience feel special.
What made it even more memorable was the thoughtful birthday gesture — I received a 10% discount and a complimentary slice of cake. It was a lovely surprise that added a personal touch to the evening. I truly appreciated the warm service and will definitely be back again!

The Crab meat pasta and honey chicken wings were nice (8/10) however, the pistachio soft serve waffle was bad… personally I don’t like the soft serve, taste nothing like pistachio… had quite a weird taste to it.
Overall, service and atmosphere were pretty good. Price point was typical for cafes. Only dislike would be the pistachio soft serve.

Came here for a dinner with a few friends. I love the seating, easy access to utensils and serviettes needed. Water was provided.
We ordered tater totes, Brussels sprouts, honey crispy wings, spicy crab rigatoni, pistachio ice cream with waffle and lemon meringue tart. All to share.
I especially love the Brussels sprouts and honey crispy wings!
The pistachio ice cream was a little disappointing as there was not much of pistachio taste, I couldn't really tell what flavour it was. The saving grace was the waffle, I really like the texture of the waffle.
We also ordered some drinks like the hot white, hot matcha and lemongrass with jasmine tea.
All in all, we had a great time there and enjoyed the food!

We had our late lunch. Ordered an avocado salad + truffle fries + strawberry pistachio tart + piccolo ☕️
Service is extremely quick and the food is up to standard. I just find that the strawberry pistachio is a tad bit sweeter than my liking. Overall, a cool cafe at a mall. What else can I ask for more 😉

Ain gon lie I lit been to lolas tamp like 3x in the past month. At this rate im gg to try the entire lolas tamp menu.
1st time I went I got the rigatoni and the mushroom and spinach cream spaghettini. Rigatoni q yummy hehe they so generous w the crab and like I said before I like tomato based stuff lol. Ok unfortunately I didn’t rly love spaghettini lol it tasted a bit like smt else that I can’t rmb rn (if I rmb I will edit my review again). Oh ok and matcha too was nubbad heh
2nd time I went I got the rigatoni, mushroom ricotta ravioli, grilled chicken and mushroom orzo, honey paprika crispy rings, truffle fries and strawberry pistachio tart. Rigatoni same as above lol. I liked the wings too cus I love the honey vibes w the super crisp chicken. The ravioli, orzo and fries q ok too nth super special!!! I tried the tiramisu also (cus I got a free cake for my birthday!) but I didn’t take a pic lol, but it was pretty yummy too tho not super exceptional.
OKKK BUTTT. The star of the show has to be the strawberry pistachio tart oh my gyat yummylicious af it was so perfect🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹I still be dreaming of this 😴
3rd time I got the rigatoni (again), fish tacos and Brussel sprouts. FISH TACOS rly won lol I loved it a lot but prob cus I love Mexican food. But fish was legit crisp and the sauce was yummy and the guac was rly good too. I didn’t love the brussels (but prob cus I js don’t like la it’s my fault) but my friend rly loved it (she loves brussel sprouts)
The place v Nice too I love the infrastructure of tamp lolasss❤️
I will be back (I came back 3 times in April). My top 3 fav recs will be rigatoni (obv lol I ordered 3x), fish tacos and STRABWRRY PISTACHIO TART

We had a great dining experience at Lola Cafe! We started with the Brussels sprouts, and I have to say, even as someone who doesn’t usually eat vegetables, I loved them. The balance of sweet and savory flavors was just right, making this side dish absolutely on point!
My husband tried the lamb shakshuka, and it was both hearty and appetizing. The rich tomato base had just the right level of sourness, making every bite more addictive. It was a comforting yet flavorful dish that left him wanting more.
I had the eggs Benedict with a seafood croquette, and it was a truly satisfying meal. The crispy croquette paired beautifully with the creamy eggs, while the cabbage slaw added a refreshing crunch to balance out the flavors.
Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would definitely visit Lola Cafe again!

Nice place for date night if you are too lazy to leave the heartlands! The seafood stew was nice and hearty, and we found ourselves craving for more bites. Our two other dishes - the tomato crab rigatoni and honey paprika wings - were pretty good as well.
Can get a bit crowded so come early or make a reservation!
