This is a very interesting brunch spot. Not necessarily for the over 40 crowd.To the uninitiated; it is a scan for the menu, order online, and PAY FIRST establishment.That's also TIP first.Having said all that; I stopped for early brunch on a Sunday.The restaurant was pretty full but had no issues getting seated. After figuring out the ordering; the food came at a reasonable pace.The flavors were absurdly wonderful!!A true complaint is that the ube waffles were cold, and eggs on my sandwich were a little undercooked and loose.Additionally, there is a self-serve system for water and other amenities.All in all, it's a good dining experience.Parking: There is street parking, but it is shared with everything on the street. Park at Clemente museum at your own peril.

The food was delicious but this was one of the most ridiculous dining experiences I have had in quite some time. The concept of how they serve is so inefficient, everything is brought to the table one item at a time. We ordered a juice that never came until I went to pay and let the server know, she then brought it to us at the end of the meal as I was paying. Also, if you have small children completely avoid this place. They have two high chairs which are bar stool height so they don’t fit at the tables. Our two year old had to sit on our laps the whole time in order to eat. Overall, a terrible dining experience.

This was a great spot for a coffee and a different take on a breakfast sandwich. Loved the atmosphere. Will be back again and again!

This is your new happy hour spot!!! Their brunch menu is of course outstanding, but on a Thursday or Friday evening, this is the place to be. Amazing cocktails, snacks, music, and vibes.

Let me start by saying the ambiance here is awesome! Design has a lot of character and it’s a quaint place to have brunch. I ordered the ube waffles with fried chicken and they looked incredible. The waffles themselves were crispy and sweet served with an ube cream spread. However, the chicken was served undercooked (completely pink in the center). I cut a piece for my mother to try and it was completely raw. Staff handled very professionally when notified, returned it to the kitchen, and prepared a new one. It’s a shame because it really made me lose my appetite so I couldn’t really enjoy it to the extent I wanted. I’m typically not one to send food back or complain, but this was something that definitely could’ve made someone sick. The second round was cooked perfectly and evenly with a crispy exterior. I’d recommend the meatless options as the ube waffles were solid! I have to deduct 2 stars for the undercooked meat, otherwise the cocktails and waffles were pretty spectacular!

Cozy, beautiful, and inviting, the decor welcomes you warmly. The food, however, keeps you drooling. Their menu is stupendous and delicious. Unique and fun, I recommend this place.

This was a restaurant that I loved going to, and always recommended to friends and family. Sadly, that ends today. I ordered for takeout for the first time - my mistake.First, they don't even have a number that you can call, so when I saw that my small takeout order was going to take 40 minutes, I couldn't even call to cancel. I went down to the restaurant, and asked if I could either cancel or, if possible, have my order expedited. I honestly didn't care which, and communicated that as well as the fact that I would be late to work if I waited the 40 minutes. I was told that it wouldn't be a problem (which I believed, especially since there weren't many customers in the restaurant) and that they would be able to make my order quickly. It took exactly 39 minutes for my order to be ready. Now I'm late for work, and incredibly angry.If you can't make an order quickly, that's fine. Let someone cancel their order! Have a phone number that they can call so that they don't have to go all the way down to your restaurant in order to cancel in the first place. Do not tell them that you will help them, and then make zero effort to fulfill that promise. I can't remember being this upset with a restaurant, and I can't see myself forgetting this experience.

Lola's is a delicious gem that's well worth the wait. The Taylor Gang, Salmon spread and donuts are top notch and service is first class!

Such a cute place and the food was great. A little pricey and our coffees came out quite a bit after our food but would go back.

vegan options but not really vegan friendly. I have given this place a try three times now and every time has been so disappointing. there’s one vegan option but plenty of vegetarian. Maybe some of the vegetarian things could be vegan but the menu online doesn’t always specify and you can’t really ask staff without flagging them down bc everything is ordered online. The one thing i ordered most recently was a special and made it vegan with no cream cheese. the bagel itself isn’t great and it was $16 for a veggie patty , avocado, arugula, carrot, onion, and cucumber on it. It had no flavor and my non vegan partner also tried it and agreed that it wasn’t good. It’s highly disappointing to spend that much on a sandwich that i literally dreaded eating. The drinks and atmosphere are great tho. I feel bad bc everyone else raves about this place but i’m also writing this review with the hope that this helps the business fix this issue as well as give vegans a heads up that this is not a good breakfast option.
