If youre a French Toast Fanatic, you must try theirs. Decadent and delicious. Cosy place with very pleasant staff.
I used to love Lolas; whenever I made my way to Cape Town Id always visit for a meal or two. My last few visits have see the great experience dwindle to an OK experience. The food has become sloppy and the staff focus on themselves and not the customers. The coffee this past week was also disappointing.
Suckedy d1ck and didnt even give me a cakepop
My second breakfast there and I absolutely love it. Friendly staff and speedy service. Food is great, just wish the coffee cups where bigger. (But that seems to be a Cape Town problem, not a Lollas problem) They even went as far as to bring water for my dog that I had with me in a dogbowl even. Asked if they are dog friendly and was told, outside is not a problem and as long as they are not busy. Card machines needs an update but the Yoko worked perfectly. So I honestly can give them a 5* on everything.
Well, first because its a hype. Food is great, but place is very small and service.. well service was definitely not good. Took about 1h to have a stuffed croissant and an espresso. As well as the bill saga.. wrong bill, the waitress vanished and we had to escalate to he manager. Espresso also got no body. Tasted like drip coffee.
Not sure if we caught them on an off day..but still a great vibe..ordered the eggs benedict and french toasted croissant...wonderful combination of flavors and taste, but the eggs benedict was cold,and didnt want to wait another 30min for a new one..cappuccinos had a burnt beans taste to it...maybe they should change the beans more regularly..
I was pleased to find it on The Entertainer App and decided to treat my hubby to brunch. I am so sad to say it was disastrous. One of the (presumably senior by her behavior) waitresses was chatting so loudly with the kitchen and other waiting staff that we could not help but be subjected to her awful vulgar language, which she did not even attempt to hide. At one point she even loudly recounted how some people she knows are a bunch of _oeses (extreme expletive in locallingo). I could barely stand it, but we had already ordered and it was too cold to move outside. I wont even go in to the rest of the experience regarding the food order, which was disastrous solely because of this girls involvement.When the bill came we were told that they do not offer The Entertainer App on breakfasts, which is a complete contravention of the App rules, but we really just wanted to get away from there as fast as possible.Overall the food was mediocre. Our table waitress was sweet and friendly, but the thought of having to face that loud foul-mouthed girl again in such a small space is too much, and certainly not for average fare.I suspect (from her demeanor) that this specific waitress job was to hold the fort as a senior and represent the owners in their absence, which is unfortunate because this was not at all the case.Overall I dont write negative reviews (rather learn and move on), but this one really stood out for me. There are just too many great spots in Cape Town CBD to ever go back for another bad experience.
It has a good vibe to it and the prices are reasonable would definitely recommend it
Comfortable and extremely friendly staff members Had a great time
Very nice experience with nice music and a lovely breakfast
Great healthy breakfast.... nice sweet and savoury options ....one of my fav
The food and service is always fantastic. Its gets busy quickly though, especially around lunch.Highly recommend their breakfast hash (ask nicely for a poached egg!) and their seared tuna is amazing!
Good for cup of coffee. A bit noisy, and music to loud.
What a cute little cafe. Food is delicious and well presented. Great staff, friendly and warm. I definitely recommend stopping in for some good food, a coffee...and definitely some cake. Menu changes so youre always in for a treat 💚
Great cheesecake. Cute little cafe. We enjoyed the breakfast - fresh scrambled eggs, freshly baked croissant. Limited menu though.
Great cafe with very good prices. Had a coffee and eggs Benedict. Service was quick and friendly. We got there just before 9am and got a seat outside no problem. By 9:30 there was a 10minute wait to get a table but the quality of the food is worth the short wait.
Accept walk ins,Coffee and smoothies are excellent with a diverse menu - friendly to all types with varied diets.Excellent all-in-all!
Lovely cappucinos and great service!
Great food. Interesting menu. Amazing, very welcoming staff.Their freshly made juice selection is a must-try. The same goes for their smoothies.Great salads too!
While walking down Long Street today, Lolas popped out at me because of the mouth-watering treats displayed in the window. I stopped in for a piece of cheesecake, and it may have been the best cheesecake Ive ever ordered. Not too sweet, a bit tangy, delicious crust. Atmosphere is also very nice - light and bright and inviting. Ill be back!
Quirky menu. Lovely variety. Great juices. Something for everyone
Lovely breakfast, eggs were perfectly done, green juice was nice but didnt need the paper straw. Highly recommended
Brilliant fish, great treats to start. I highly recommend Lola’s
The place just always seems to be open. Its a good option for a quick breakfast as the service is fast and the food is decent quality. Not necessarily the most exciting breakfast spot but youre unlikely to have a bad experience.
Always great quality food and good service! Love how cozy it is inside on a cool day.
Incredible breakfast, we had the huevos rancheros, breakfast hash and eggs Benedict which were all brilliant. Highly recommend.
I really enjoyed the coffee at Lolas Along with the avacado toast. The thing that threw me off were all the scents on the streets. I believe the best place to eat would be inside the cafe. The French toast was delicious though
Met a friend there for breakfast. The food was good. The service was lacking slightly - we werent tended to very often and had to make an effort to get waiters attention.
Was one time in this cafe and reality is far from expectations. On the pictures in internet looks more clean and modern. When we just entrance is very old and dirty. The good point breakfast are tasty, fast and beautiful presentation. For people, who always hurry probably they’ll find this place good, for esthetic I’ll suggest to look for another place
Very friendly staff, good food and coffee. Nice outdoor area to observe long street. Pricey but worth it.
The best breakfast spot in the CPT CBD.Service is quick, breakfast is awesome and best red cap ever. Love this place #YouMustBelieve.
Crazy for eggs for breakfast? Lola’s Eatery has some great eggs and breakfast menu options. We ordered 5 different dishes and I am in love with the eggs benedict and smoked salmon!Eat: Eggs for breakfast/brunch
Coffee is fantastic here....... And the breakfast are well made such a nice place to start the morning in cape town
Absolutely amazing Service and really enjoyed the food. Will definitely come here again. 😊
Amazing mussels. Seafood is fresh and tasty. This little spot is one of my favourites on Long Street, and the staff are great, so friendly!
Definitely the place for a good breakfast! The croissant French toast and the eggs Benedict are to die for! Would also recommend getting the three egg omelette and one of their smoothies, especially their banana smoothie.
Perfect brunch friendly and fast service
I love going to Lolas, their scrambled egg croissants are the bees knees
Their coffee rocksssss!!!
Had the best lasagne, and the staff was friendly. Coffee was ok. I never comment on restaurants site but with this one i had to. 08/06/2019
Very nice service, delicious breakfast, cozy interieur, you can also sit outside. After one breakfast, we came back everyday!
Its a lovely chilled vibe with really good food!! A definite recommend. Ill certainly be going back.
Great tasting breakfast! Good service and cheap! Had eggs Benedict! Fabulous
Good food. nice location, friendly staff
Craig, the manager and owner, has been here for the past 6 years. The food here was really good and service with a smile. If you are in the area you must make a stop here. The food is freshly prepared which makes the difference!
The food was great but service was very bad. We were served by two different waitresses and both of them completely ignored us. We asked for a table inside, were promised to be moved inside the cafe twice but it never happened. Then we waited 20 mins trying to ask anyone to bring us drinks and after receiving the bill sat around 30 mins waiting for the card machine. There are places with very tasty food too and much much better and friendlier service. I definitely wont go there again
A pleasant setting on the west coast no less dimmed by the ever present smile of the Table Mountain at 11 oclock view angle and muted sneeze of Robben Island at the lunch hour view point! The meals look and taste good even in their somewhat miss rated portion sizes!
My favourite breakfast spot on Long Street. Good food, good coffee, good music, friendly staff, good place for people-watching.
Lolas is adorable. It has such a trendy California-style vibe. You can get delicious, healthy breakfast options paired with great service.
In all the chaos of Long street, perfect oasis of good food and good service in the wonderful atmosphere. Love it!
Good food and very friendly staff. However service was beyond poor. Such a mess!
Dangerous place. One may easily swallow their tongue.
Everything was fantastic as always!!! A Capetown favorite for a reason 👌
Great little coffee with really delicious breakfast. The service was great as all.
Cool place
Fresh juices! Variety of egg dishes! Friendly service. A haven for laidback breakfast food in the busy long street area
Best eggs Benedict I have eaten. A real little gem with fast and very friendly service
Had lunch, food was good, but we had to wait very long for it
Very nice place, great food and service
Great breakfast joint with lots of vegetarian-friendly options. Can get crowded at times but the service is usually very good.
Love the morning vibe with people chilling. Where to score? Look no far. Lovely girls everywhere, haha!
Only ever do breakfast there, on Saturdays (a bit far from the ofice) but always good food and friendly service.
Had huevos ranchero. Best scrambled eggs Ive ever had. Sorry mom! Brilliant!
Amazing little Café with locally sourced food.The owner, Craig, is very passionate about his shop and this shows in the presentation.
The food was amazing, definitely coming back when I’m in Cape Town.
I enjoyed the Dahn Mi meal, the pork was cooked to perfection. The food was not good, it was amazing! Thanks for lunch!
Lemon Merengue is amazing! Very nice and helpful staff! Would always revisit
Great food, and their salmon is divine!! Would love to go there again
My gf and I had an eggs ben and a french crossiant this morning. God, whoever wrote that the food took very long- you didn’t have enough patience to wait! We arrived and ordered - food came within 10 min! The waitresses were so friendly, even on a lazy Sunday morning when most of other shops were close (Guess for Church service). Haven’t mentioned about the food - the deco, the colours and most importantly, the flavours were splendid. This is my virgin review after having visited cafes for so long all over the world - the best service and food, period!
Sublime city coffee experience...best chocolate croissants, divine service from Candies & Co.
I was sitting in the cafe in front of the counter and all the waiters. The cafe was quiet empty but noone did pay attention to me although they saw me sitting right in front of them. I decided to leave after 20 minutes.
Best omelette Ive ever had
Delicious eggs benedict 😍 Lovely freshly squeezed orange juice, and coffee.
Loved the food and the prices are reasonable. Very nice atmosphere as well
The crowded pavement is frequented by beggars every few minutes so it makes eating and enjoying a meal impossible. The poached eggs were very raw so I did not enjoy it.
I liked their breakfast and smoothie
Cute little cafe with good food and service
Best eatary in town but limited vegan options.should improve on this
