    Looking for a pet friendly place to enjoy a breakfast you might not be able to make at home? Come early or line up for Lola's delicious breakfast! start with the churros so you don't have to "save room" for them! Everything is fresh and made to order! Be mindful of parking, the meter patrol can be on it.

    We have now visited Lola Cafe multiple times and tried a number of items on the menu. All of them are very good so it depends on your palate. The staff is friendly. It is a quaint little space. if you're coming for brunch, you may encounter a wait.

    This is the most delicious eggs Benedict. Yum yum

    The food is excellent, the service is quick and relatively friendly, and the ambiance was lively when I was there (in a Saturday morning). I know they're known for the Oaxacan meals, but I had to try that benny. And I'm glad I did. The hollandaise sauce was smooth and creamy, the ham was hammy, and the pickles atop provided a nice crunch and balance to the meal. The potatoes were deep fried to golden brown perfection. I also had an espresso that was tasty. Parking is tough, prices add up quickly, near 9 AM puts on the waitlist, but it's totally a great meal!

    Food was tasty, I think we spent around $50 altogether. Drink was really good and well brewed. My plate was good but the scramble was a little too mosh posh for me. I'd come back to try another dish tho. They had some great tunes playing. Nice indoor/outdoor seating. Handful of people there on a weekday. Food was quick to come out.

    Ate here twice in the last two months and it's a very charming if not busy place but luckily, we were seated quickly both times. You see a host to get a seat and then you place an order inside at the cash register, receive a number and sit back down. Something about sitting outside in a good, people-watching neighborhood, enjoying beautiful food and weather is so relaxing. Great breakfast/lunch options. I splurged on their French Toast and boy, was it a yum treat! I liked it because while it looks amazing, it wasn't terribly sweet and thus, very enjoyable. With an interesting menu, a variety of great coffees and drink options and nice service, its a great place to brunch, I will definitely be back.

    Lola is a cozy, beautiful spot nestled along Colorado Boulevard in Eagle Rock. We decided to check it out and ordered the chilaquiles with green salsa and chicken, tacos de barbacoa, a virgin Moscow mule, and a jamaica lemonade. Let me start with the chilaquiles, since that's what I ordered. The green salsa was absolutely delicious, and the chicken was cooked to perfection--tender and flavorful. I highly recommend this dish. The tacos de barbacoa were good but could have been better with some more flavored, and the drinks were refreshing and well balanced. Our server was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The restaurant itself is small but mighty, with a few tables both inside and outside, giving it a warm and intimate vibe. Parking is street-only. The day we went happened to be street cleaning day, so it took us a few extra minutes to find a nearby spot. Aside from that minor inconvenience, everything else was great. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I definitely recommend checking Lola out if you're in the Eagle Rock area.

    The food and drinks were excellent. My daughter said her waffle was absolutely delightful, crispy and buttery and I enjoyed the tacos Dorados. I had a Jamaica and she had watermelon agua fresca, both very tasty. The staff at the restaurant were very kind and efficient and helpful in what felt like a very challenging and busy environment My challenge with this place had to do with how incredibly noisy it is inside on a busy Sunday just before noon, and the fact that the inside dining area smells strongly of gas from the kitchen that is right there. Also, we had to park five minutes walk away because there wasn't any parking nearby.

    Lola on Colorado = My Go-To Brunch Vibe Lola is that little café you almost don't want to tell people about because it's that good. It's not huge, but it's super cute, chill, and perfect for a sunny sit-outside kind of day (which is basically every day in Eagle Rock). The food? Think homemade comfort but with a little upscale twist. It's Mexican at the core, but they do it in this fresh, slightly ritzy way that still feels down-to-earth. The chilaquiles are hands-down my favorite green or red, you really can't go wrong (and the portions are big enough to share... though I usually don't ). And don't even get me started on the affogato chef's kiss. The staff is always friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and the prices are more than fair for what you get. Honestly, it's one of those spots that just hits every time whether it's a Saturday morning brunch run or a random weekday treat. Lola on Colorado = cozy, flavorful, and always worth the stop.

    Churro Waffles W Fruit
    Haylie T.

    Stopped by at around 10 for brunch and the wait was not too long. They have indoor and outdoor seatings available. We ordered variety of things to try and the food was solid, although some of the roasted potatoes were pretty burnt. The barbacoa benedicto was pretty good but the portion size seems a little small for the price of $19.50. The veggie omelette was good with a nice mix of mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, cheese and soy chorizo. Churro waffle was a bit underwhelming. The waffle tasted like it was made with cake batter, it was a bit airy and powdery? Not a typical waffle texture. For $15 you only get 4 small pieces with some berries and whip cream. Not something I would order again. Parking: street parking or public parking at the lot behind the restaurant for 50 cents an hour.

    I've been coming to Lola Cafe for a while now. It's a cozy breakfast spot right in my neighborhood and I love it. Their lattes are always on point, and I live for their Lola toast (basically avocado toast heaven). Portions are generous, super shareable, and totally worth the price. The place gives off cozy brunchy vibes, and the staff is generally warm and friendly. That said, I'm bumping my rating down to a 3 - not because the food or service dropped, but just on principle (I believe in menu integrity!!!) The menu says "Add Eggs & Roasted Potatoes" for $4 (see photos of menu attached), but I was charged $5. When I asked about it, the lady told me the $4 is just for eggs, and adding potatoes makes it $5. Girl... the menu clearly says "Eggs AND Roasted Potatoes" and not "Surprise! Choose your fighter." I get it - it's just a dollar - but it doesn't feel right when the written menu says one thing and you get charged another. A small thing, but it rubs me the wrong way. Still love this spot, but PSA: ask questions if you're ordering a la carte and don't want mystery charges. And don't forget that parking is street only so plan accordingly unless you enjoy the sport of parallel parking under pressure.

    An amazing small Mexican-Breakfast fusion with a great amount of tasty options perfect for any occasion! If you're feeling sweet or savory, this place has it. It's a small cafe with indoor and outside seating, we came on a Saturday afternoon (12:00pm) and we got seated in about 20-30 mins. You order at the front cashier and they bring you your food! The place had extremely quick service as well. We ordered a Horchata Waffle breakfast and Taquitos Dorados with Mole Negro. We added on the eggs (overeasy) and breakfast potatoes on top of the breakfast waffles, but the eggs were a bit too runny for my preference but the potatoes were perfectly crisp! The waffle had an abundance of horchata cream and other liquid toppings that might have made it softer than preferred. The mole negro was uniquely served and the mole was more on the sweeter side. Easily a go-to breakfast spot if you're looking for more unique flavors from the typical breakfast menu. Wide variety and interesting combos!

    Chicken enchiladas, chilaquiles & breakfast burrito. Delicious!!! Every thing has wonderful flavor

    delicious !! Everything was so tasty and flavorful. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend if you're looking for good coffee and tasty food. I like that they have a variety of foods like salads, breakfast sandwiches. We got a oaxquena latte and cafe de olla latte so good! Along with the chilaquiles, enchiladas and breakfast burrito . Everything was delicious

    Eggs Benedicto with Bacon
    Pam S.

    Delicious! And they are from Oaxaca you can't beat that right?? There was a wait but what do you expect the reviews speak for themselves. Ha! street parking is available and there is a parking lot around the corner as well. You order from the counter and then take your seat. I love the music here BTW As others may have mentioned prior to my review the presentation is gorgeous and the vibe is chill here. Sitting out on the sidewalk, I don't like as the tables are small and you don't have a lot of room. Respectfully Reviewed.

    We stopped by during brunch one day because I was craving breakfast and we must have came just the…read moreright time because there was not a lot of people, but shortly after we were seated people started coming in and they had to wait a bit for a table. We sat inside and I ordered a simple brunch with just 2 strips of bacon, 2 over medium eggs and waffles. The server asked me if I wanted a full size waffle or half size and as I was watching the other people order I noticed people were not hesitating to order the full size option and I thought dang, they are not gonna finish that, so I opted for the half serving which was 2 pretty good sized waffles. Once I took my 1st bite, I suddenly regretted only ordering the half size option. I instantly knew right then and there why people ordered the full size. A waffle is a waffle right guys? Wrong... not this waffle. This waffle will make you feel love inside that you didn't know existed. As we were walking inside the restaurant I actually was picking a fight with my husband for no apparent reason... possibly because I was hungry but after I took my first bite, I forgot about the argument haha. I told him he needs to bring me here ALL THE TIME. I am yet to come back a 2nd time and I already anticipate loving it the 2nd time. We drove by one day hoping to have a 2nd try here and it was really busy so we didn't make the stop. I look forward to coming back and the next time around I will not hesitate to order a full size waffle order. The staff was really nice, our server was this young lady who was waiting on all the tables inside and some outside was on top of it. She was really pleasant and the gentlemen in the back were also nice. The restaurant was clean when we visited and the service was really quick. We parked down the street, the walk wasn't too bad, we didn't know where to park but I read some of the other reviews and I guess there's a parking in the back somewhere. If you live nearby and you haven't visited, do yourself a favor and try them out. If you travel from far away like me and you're looking for a breakfast or brunch spot with delicious waffles, this is the spot.

Shortly after, she walked in and we both had breakfast together. I have been to this lovely, well kept and maintained establishment at least 7 times in the past. 2nd time reviewing this place. We ordered a Veggie Omelette that came with: spinach, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, & asparagus. For cheese we opted for Swiss cheese free of charge. ($18.99), got a side order of fruit ($5.99), an order of English Muffin(toasted) ($2.99), and a large Orange Juice for ($5.49). Total came out to be $30.70 including tax, minus his tip. Both guys Nathan and Benny were very helpful, attentive and nice. Food was very hot, DELICIOUS and prices were affordable for their portions. Nathan didn't charge me for the OJ, because he forgot to bring me my whipped cream that came with a side of half Waffle, that actually looked more like a full Waffle. We both stayed with water. They have pretty extensive menu options from breakfast, salads, wraps, and sandwiches. All types of beverages. Hot and cold. Business of operation is consistent, which I LOVE!! Gender neutral restroom, a nice patio on both sides of the restaurant, and about 8 to 10 spots of parking spaces behind the restaurant. Restroom was also clean and fully stocked with all the essentials. Nice artwork on the walls. You can also find street or meter parking. They have 2 or 3 other locations. They did a little touch up here and there that was very noticeable. This is a great breakfast/lunch spot to indulge yourself. I wanted to eat more, but one can only eat so much. Ambiance was very nice, chill, clean, and had overhead music playing inside the restaurant.. They have to-go orders, delivery, but no catering. 10/10. Will definitely return next time I am craving any one of their menu options. Thank you Nathan, Benny, management & Waffles!!

My fiancé and I tried the Huevos Rancheros plate, Peaches and Cream Waffle, and the Thai Style Fried Chicken plate. Along with their two drinks; Sunset Refresher & Blueberry Vanilla Cold Foam Matcha. Huevos Rancheros were a hit. To be honest I thought the dish to be a small serving at first. But it's actually a good portion. You get three tostadas stacked and layered with black beans and mozzarella and topped off with over easy eggs and salsa. I loved how the corn tortillas maintained their crunch and never got soggy. The habanero salsa that it came had a good KICK. Peaches and Cream waffle was good as well. It is seasonal so we jumped on the opportunity. Waffle was thick and fluffy that came with powdered sugar and cinnamon. The peaches were also thick and the sauce it came was light and sweet. Can never go wrong with ice cream and waffles. The Thai Style chicken was pleasant surprise. Before we ate the chicken, I tried a piece of the breading and I knew it was gonna be a good one. Lots of flavor from the tom yum seasoning and the chicken was a decent size. It's not spicy and comes with a sweet sauce to dip in. The bell peppers balanced out this dish. I was a fan of the sunset refresher. It's a mix of hibiscus, pineapple and lemonade. It's more tart than sweet but refreshing. The blueberry cold foam iced matcha was solid. Not too sweet and properly balance. Overall a good brunch spot with a large menu guaranteed to have you come back to try other things. A little pricey.

I've seen people here working on their laptop and groups of people around one table so the vibe is chill and friendly. It also depends on what time of day you come. Weekends usually get packed. As for the drinks and food. What we've had here has always been good. Best to eat their Croffle and baked goods there. Although Matcha is not for my liking, I'm more for their Taro Drink. B says the Matcha here is one of the better ones she's had. I have to agree even their Matcha Ice Cream is good. We get is the Matcha Croffle + Ice Cream, Matcha Einspanner, Taro Einspanner, and their cakes. Only thing I knocked down a star is because Not all the workers know the answers to your questions of what is in what food item or if you can substitute the milks. So that's something Cafe Upper should train all staff. Especially if people have food allergies.

    Absolutely obsessed with the Hojicha Coconut!…read more This drink is DIVINE, so refreshing, creamy, and delicious. I could literally drink 10 of these! It's definitely a must-try, and I already can't wait to come back for another one. The cakes were just okay for me. I'd probably pass on them next time if I'm just getting something for myself, but they would make a cute gift or present for someone!

    Solid matcha place in ktown!! There's so many places around and it's a saturated market so I get…read morethe competition... but this place holds its own! Matcha is rich and bold, there's a good amount so it's not weak. Milk ratio is good so it's not diluted at all. The cream top is nice and thick and doesn't melt into the drink! Matcha Cream Top ($7.75)-- I looooove me a nice and thick cream top and this place does it amazingly. It's thick and perfectly sweetened and doesn't melt with the drink/ice. It stays perfectly thick and still and above the matcha unless you mix it in. The matcha is also really nice and rich. None of the bland or grassy taste. Just genuine good matcha! Chocolate Forest ($7.75)-- Basically same as above but the cream on top tastes like Milo/Ovaltine mixed in. It's a nice and sweet nostalgic taste. Not a hint of bitterness so if you want mocha/dark chocolate this is not the one for you. It's more happy kid hot chocolate vibes. Overall I really like this place for their matcha and would get it again. Pricing is steep but all good matcha goes for around $8 nowadays. Theres a shared parking lot (free if you go in the afternoon) but otherwise street parking.

    Fantastic Mexican brunch and food staples! Come here hungry, because their food is hearty, and…read moreauthentically Mexican! I've been here twice and on the first visit, it took awhile to get seated. We came again this month and was happy to see it seems they expanded their indoor dining to have a whole other room able to seat more diners on busy weekends! I'm usually a light brunch eater, but if you're going here, you have to order the Mexican food staples. My boyfriend loves their breakfast tacos (super hearty, 2 would be enough but a 3rd was taken home). Super generous portion with their cooked meat on top - SO good (classic bacon, or their mole and barbacoa). The Chipotle chilaquiles were absolutely delicious! I've never had an authentic Chipotle sauce taste like that... super creamy, and homemade, not overtly smoky like you usually have at other places. We also had their cafe de olla cold brew (since it was a hot summer heat wave), and it was good - classic with their cafe de olla spices - but I'm sure their classic hot cafe de olla is even better. I believe I've gotten their other regular brunch items, but wish I just opted for their Mexican favorites since that's their bread and butter here. Great business. Great service. Love to support!

    I've been going to Fika Fika since they first opened in Arcadia, and their coffee has consistently…read morebeen one of my favorites, so I was really excited to check out their new West Pico location! The space itself is beautiful--minimalist, bright, and super spacious. There are lots of large tables and outlets, which makes it a great place to study or get some work done. Otherwise, it's a great photo op spot. I got the Iced Tabby Brown Sugar with the Mellow Wave blend, which has been my go-to coffee order at Fika Fika. It's creamy and smooth with a nice coffee flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. We also tried the new Paw Cakes in strawberry, black sesame, and vanilla, along with the lychee and brown sugar ice cream. Everything was super cute and fun to try! I especially like that the West Pico location seems to have a bigger selection of specialty desserts than some of the other locations I've visited. They had adorable Capybara and Panda mousse cakes that I'll definitely have to come back for. Great coffee, cute desserts, and such a nice space to hang out or study. Really happy to see Fika Fika expanding around LA!

This place is really spacious with a ton of seating -- perfect to work, study, or even to hang out with friends/family. I also love the minimal yet chic decor which makes it so fun. The service was great! We were unsure of what to order exactly but the individual helping us gave some great suggestions. We ordered the butterfly pea latte along with the Japanese hojicha and they were great. The perfect balance of roastiness, sweetness, and creaminess from the milk. The ice creams were really great and creamy too. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu!
