Saw Lolas's Cafe on an episode of "Real Housewives of Orange County" , had to come try. Service is superb, the owner takes the time to make everyone feel welcomed . Their Latte machine was down BUT as an ice Americano lover, was recommended a drink, tried and loves it. Waffle was freshly made the berries were SOOOO good. We'll definitely be back.

Love me some Lola's! The food is always good and always consistent. The coffee is wonderful and they make all their coffee syrups in house. If you're ever around in the fall, you have to try the pumpkin soufflé French toast! OMG- it is to die for! They also have tasty vegan and gluten free options. The owners, Matt and his wife Ayva, do an incredible job in keeping the great quality and consistency of the food. It always tastes great and they are both so wonderful to chat with. Definitely stop by if you're in Ladera. You won't regret it. I promise.

My review will be a unique one because I haven't tried out their pastry before- dietary restriction pastry is my but my bestie is obsessed with their pastries. She dreams about them. So for her birthday I wanted to make her dream come true. With the help of Matthew, who so amazing and helpful- he is the definition of customer service- he not only knew the product in his store, he was very patient on helping me figure out my birthday gift pastry gift box while he was on vaca. He didn't have to but he did. Well, after the extraordinary service- I dropped off my bestie surprise. Right before I walked into her home- she was telling her children she wished she had the pastries from Lola. I walked in a few seconds later and the kids jumped up for joy saying I was like a magical unicorn granting wishes. Thank you for helping making my bestie feel loved and special on her birthday.

Love this place when I'm in the area for a super fresh brekky and a delicious GF pastry (that alone is so rare!). They have quite a few gluten free items and everything is made fresh. I also appreciate that many of the ingredients are organic and that they use free range eggs. It's a darling little spot, that seems like they do their best to keep very clean (a special shout out to the restrooms... The ladies restroom was so clean, and smelled amazing!). Also, despite being pretty busy for the morning rush... My order was ready pretty quickly. This place is not cheap... But it's also located in Ladera Ranch, so I'm sure the rent is atrocious. Considering that, and the quality of the food, I feel like the pricing is pretty fair. They also have indoor and outdoor seating... So it's a great local place to catch up with a friend over a delicious meal. I LOVE supporting local- especially when they get it just right

Lola's Cafe in Ladera Ranch hit the spot today with their delicious Tuscan chicken sandwich! Not only was the sandwich itself fantastic, but the service was great as well. Flavorful Filling: The Tuscan chicken sandwich was a true delight. The chicken was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the sun-dried tomatoes and cheese.] Friendly & Attentive: The service at Lola's Cafe was top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure my dining experience was enjoyable. Lola's Cafe offers a delicious and satisfying meal option with their Tuscan chicken sandwich. The friendly service creates a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great spot for a casual lunch or brunch.

I go here pretty frequently as it's walking distance. Inside is cozy & rustic. Quality of the food is always great, they source their bread from fresh & delicious bakeries, and use organic for a lot of ingredients. However the service is always my favorite. The owner always greets you kindly at the register & the staff overall really accommodates their customers!

Lolas is truly the gem of Ladera Ranch. When you walk through the front doors you are greeted with a low hum of soft rock on the radio and organic wood tables all around. The smell of baked goods and fresh espresso will begin to fill your nose as you make your way to the front desk. Once you get to the front, most of the time, you will be able to come face to face with the person who made this place come to life so many years ago.. Matthew the owner! Matthew is always such a joy to speak to - I adore how he takes the time to speak and get to know each of the individuals who walk through his doors. Once you order, you will be able to find a seat at a table near other locals catching up or WFH individuals who are typing away on their laptops. As I am a Ladera Ranch native, I have been here over a dozen times and every time I am extremely pleased with the food and service. Recently, I have come to love their mixed berry flatbread: a light crisp bread with savory- salted mascarpone, topped with fresh berries, honey, and mint. If you are in the mood for a true comfort, I would suggest their grilled cheese and tomato soup duo: it is a perfectly crisp grilled cheese oozing with gruyere; and the tomato soup offers a punch of flavor, but is not too heavy as their version on this classic soup is cream free. If you are looking for a drink to go with your meal, my absolute go-to is their Lavender Arnold Palmer which features their house-made lavender syrup. To be honest, you cant go wrong with any drink that has this syrup - for example, today I got an iced lavender latte with coconut milk and, oh goodness, its is delicious!! I adore this brunch spot and am always so happy to be able to support a local business!

Yummy yummy breakfast options. Everything was fantastic. Avocado toast (gf) was 4 slices & generous on the avocado. The maple glazed donut was perfect. French toast soufflé was delicious. The lavender latte was great. We had a group of 6 with 2 high chairs on a Saturday morning so we got there at 8:45. Once 9:00 hits the place was packed. They do have outdoor patio seating on the side. Can't wait to go back!
