    Came here on a weekday for brunch and really loved the selection! I came here with a friend…read morevisiting from out of town and met I had to take her to a Miami staple! Although it's not the original location, this location offers plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating! You can either order at the counter or have a staff member take your order at the table. The food was really good, I got a bagel with lox and a coffee. Portions are great and coffee is good. I liked that the outdoor space also offered shade since it gets pretty hot in the sun!

    I haven't written a Yelp review in months, but my experience yesterday was so disappointing that I…read morefelt compelled to dust off my account. I stopped by this well-established "bakery" chain for a quick bite. I chose the Pinecrest location because I always thought it was the nicer one. Other locations, particularly Doral, leave a lot to be desired in terms of ambiance. That's not to say this location is anything extraordinary, but at least it feels like a place you'd actually want to sit down and visit. It's been a long time since I last came here. I can't remember if they always stayed open until 9 PM on regular days, but I distinctly remember that on weekends at least, they used to close around 6 PM, and that by 5:30 PM the kitchen was often already shutting down. Because I generally wake up around 2 or 3 PM on weekends, this place became impractical for me long ago. I eventually found far better options closer to home that stay open later and offer a much broader selection of bakery/pastry items, all-day breakfast, while also offering sandwiches, entrées, desserts, and just about everything else. Still, after years of rotating through the same places, my friend and I decided to venture out, especially since I had woken up "early" by my standards. We arrived around 5 PM and I was absolutely floored by the menu prices. Wagyu or not, a smash cheeseburger for $25? A seafood fettuccine for $36? At a 3.6-star corner bakery? Dishes that cost around $18 a few years ago, such as the Black Forest ham and cheese scramble with coffee and orange juice, are now effectively $24 once you add the $2 extra charge for the coffee and small orange juice that used to be included. That's a staggering 33% increase from what was already an expensive meal three years ago. And that percentage doesn't tell the whole story, because even back then their prices were already 30% to 50% higher than many of their competitors. And let's be honest: the supposedly superior ingredients didn't exactly create some unforgettable culinary experience. You'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between their Black Forest ham and the regular ham served elsewhere. Back to yesterday's visit. I had already driven there and didn't feel like searching for another place. Plus, my usual order at bakeries is a ham and cheese croissant, and that happened to be one of the few things on their menu that hadn't reached absurd pricing territory. At around $8, it's arguably one of their better deals, especially considering that a croissant filled with Nutella or some other typical filling costs roughly the same. Granted, it's not even a traditional ham and cheese croissant like the ones found in 99% of bakeries. It's a smaller version with the ham and cheese baked inside, almost like a pastelito. So when you factor this in, it's equally overpriced. Naturally, destiny enjoys playing jokes on me. The waitress informed me that they had already run out of croissants... at 5 PM... in a bakery supposedly known for its croissants. She then explained that they had shifted "more toward their bistro concept." I couldn't help but wonder: what bistro? Adding a few wildly overpriced restaurant dishes to your menu doesn't magically transform a bakery into a bistro. It simply gives the impression that you've drifted away from your original identity. And that's unfortunate because, as a French bakery, the selection here is already surprisingly limited. Compare them to competitors like Bonjour French Bakery and the difference becomes obvious. They simply can't compete. La Boulangerie mostly offers a handful of pastries and some jarred desserts and calls it a day. As for the coffee, both Bonjour French Bakery and Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar completely outclass them. Their coffee is richer, smoother, more flavorful, their prices are more reasonable, and their menus offer a broad selection, from all day breakfast to sandwiches, entrées, as well as pastas. Which brings me to the giant sign in the middle of the restaurant that proudly says "BAKERY" and to the word "BOULANGERIE" itself, the French term for a bakery specializing in bread and baked goods. Those words have never felt more irrelevant. There's a reason this place sits at a 3.6-star average rating as of this review. Had I seen that beforehand, I never would have driven this far based solely on memories from two years ago. I have a simple rule when it comes to restaurants: I don't go anywhere with less than four stars on Yelp. This visit was a good reminder of why.

    TLDR: delicious custom cakes that will make any birthday or special occasion!…read more------ Super easy to communicate with / via text. I ordered, Venmoed my mula and waited for delivery. Admittedly I was a little last minute so the fact Lola handled my request with such short turn around is amazing. Got my order on Tuesday for Saturday and was able to pull it off. A custom cake in the shape of a corgi butt. Yes weird request. However, the birthday girl loves corgis - and she loved the cake. Cookie dough with vanilla cake was an excellent flavor combo. It tastes even better the next day as i devoured everything that was left. Takes cookie butter mixed with butter cream for the filling. The cake was moist and delicious. Will certainly reach out again for another unique creation!

    I rarely leave reviews, but after my experience at Lola The Baker in Miami, I felt it was…read moreabsolutely necessary. From start to finish, this was one of the most disappointing bakery visits I've ever had. First, the service was a complete disaster. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted at all. The staff behind the counter looked annoyed that I was even there, and when I finally got their attention, it felt like I was bothering them by asking questions about the pastries. No smiles, no customer service, just pure attitude. For a bakery that seems to market itself as "boutique" and "specialty," I expected a welcoming vibe and knowledgeable staff. Instead, it was cold and unprofessional. The display case looked nice from far away, but when I got closer, many of the pastries looked old, like they had been sitting out for hours--if not days. I ordered a few different items just to give them a fair chance, and honestly, none of them were good. The croissant was dense and greasy instead of light and flaky. The cake slice I tried was dry and tasted like it came out of a box. Even the coffee was bitter and watered down at the same time, which makes me wonder how you can mess up something that basic. To make matters worse, the prices are ridiculous for what you get. I don't mind paying extra for high quality, but this was nowhere near high quality. Charging premium prices for stale, poorly made pastries is insulting. When I politely asked about the freshness of the items, the staff brushed me off and gave me an attitude instead of answering honestly. Cleanliness was another issue. The tables were dirty, and nobody seemed in a rush to wipe them down. The bathroom (which I unfortunately had to use) was in terrible condition--dirty sink, no paper towels, and it smelled awful. That told me everything I needed to know about how much care they actually put into their business. The final straw was when they got my order wrong and acted like it was my fault. I ordered one item, they gave me another, and when I pointed it out, they argued with me instead of simply fixing it. No apology, no attempt to make it right. Just attitude. At that point, I decided it wasn't even worth fighting over. Overall, Lola The Baker was a complete letdown in every possible way: poor service, overpriced food, lack of cleanliness, and an overall unwelcoming atmosphere. There are so many amazing bakeries and cafés in Miami that actually care about their customers and serve fresh, delicious food--this place is absolutely not one of them. I will never return, and I strongly recommend that anyone looking for good pastries or a pleasant experience steer clear of this spot. Save your time, money, and patience, and go somewhere else.
