We had a lovely quiet breakfast at Lola's. Amazing eggs benedict, perfectly cooked, with fresh English muffins - the open kitchen wafting delicious smells throughout the seating area. The coffee wasn't bad, nothing too special. I will be back for lunch soon!

Lola's you are soooooo amazing !!!! I normally refuse to try pancakes when i travel because i dont want to be disappointed !!!ANDDDDDD BOYYYYYY am I glad I did!!!! I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the pancakes ....The Eggs and the fresh juice was a hit also.. Im very picky about fresh juice i dont like " Pulp" so when i see fresh juice im again on the fence about trying it because its normally a glass of pulp... BUT GUESS WHO GOT IT RIGHT!!! thats right LOLAS!!! You guys are great ... i wanted to try a mimosa but they only had orange juice for the mixture...

Well, first because it's 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.

Had the waffle and it was good and hearty but wish it has more sauce on it. Coffee was yummy but had to wait a while for it to cool down. Great wifi so good spot to relax a bit.

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 Lolla's 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.

Great little cafe. Decent menu with a range from burgers, pasta, salads, and some delicious healthy options. Also several desserts. Quick and very friendly service. I’d definitely go back.

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 didn't want to wait another 30min for a new one..cappuccino's 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 local lingo). I could barely stand it, but we had already ordered and it was too cold to move outside. I won't even go in to the rest of the experience regarding the food order, which was disastrous solely because of this girl's 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 don't 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.
