Sorry lola, no good and not coming back. Highly suggest the yelp folk to avoid this place as well. Wow i have never felt so strongly about such a disappointing place/experience. WHERE TO START! Place looks nice. Sorta, I'll give them that at least. Waitress was terrible at taking our order but that's okay, i was letting that slide. The problem here was that she has to attempt our 5 item tapas choice 3 times and 70% of that was us pointing to the menu. Understandable if she was new but I could have sworn she served us months ago when we came in one morning for a coffee! All 5 tapas dishes came out at once. That's cool. But the scallop dish was what the heck chewy/runny. I had to google if that texture was normal (pro tip - was not). Left that entire plate uneaten. The marinated olives was like a lucky dip - you either had a deliciously plumpy firm one or a terrible one that was super soft and dissolved in your fingers. Ugh. Then there was the swordfish that was served atop a slice of baguette bread. It was tolerable i didn't mind that the swordfish was dry af (which looking back at it now makes sense that both the scallops and swordfish were overcooked and served to us at the same time ((cooked together and way too long!!!). The mushroom dish was okay. Just okay... The slow cooked beef dish was delicious. The only standout. And despite that this place is not worth your time. Anyway we decided to feedback to the waiter about just the scallops. What was served was just unforgivable. The waiter listened then said he will be right back while he check with the chef (??). Few mins later he came back and straight up asked if he can take our scallop dish back "for the chef to taste because it could be the way its supposed to be done" (???????). Forreal? I get that in the hospitality life you're bound to get yourself in a pickle like this but be perhaps reword to the customer how you want to object or debate the customers opinion. Instead of getting your back up about it. I get it, sh!t happens. Few mins later again waiter comes back, apologises and says its off the bill (thank you) but then wanted to reiterate a point that they have never had a complaint about their scallops before (ok cool story bro, forgiven and forgotten already). THE LAST STRAW was then leaving and paying the bill. We went up to the register to pay and the lady behind the register (possibly shift manager of co manager) barked the amount with no presentation of itemised bill. We were about to ask about the scallop stuff and she barked again "its off the bill". Dat gurl was ICE QUEEN man. No apologies no nothing. Swiped our card and off we went. What a b!tch. Rude. Acknowledge your mistake and learn from it. As a result of this terrible experience - come here with caution or don't come here at all. Cannot get over how awful it was. Thank goodness Copper Pot, Moda, Ajitoya & Seddon Wine Store are within walking distance! Do yourself a favour and goto either of those instead! read more

I really wanted to like this place more. Having been past for a takeaway coffee (good coffee) we came today for brunch. The setting is lovely - very open and bright, some lovely outdoor seating along Charles St. The glass windows open right up so has a great indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of space for little ones up the back. The menu felt quite winter heavy to me (stew, baked eggs, roasted vegetables). Was in the mood for a salad or something of that nature.. But ended up getting the baked eggs. M got the fried potatoes with bacon, eggs and blood pudding. Both dishes were serviceable. Bake eggs was a bit salty for me, fried potatoes came with too much of the sweet syrup. The staff are lovely and personable, very accommodating. There were a couple of requests from the tables around us (more tomato, eggs to be cooked more) and the staff was not fussy or snooty about it. I think this place would be lovely for afternoon/evening drinks because of the setting and relaxed staff, food wise would love to see a more seasonal menu. read more

Five stars for people with kids at this bubs friendly new cafe and a decent stop for everybody else: This space was formerly Touks and Chicco, both of which had terrible coffee, mediocre food, and poor service and Lola is a definite step up. The coffee is just fine and the food has a mix of Spanish items and standard breakfast fare. It won't blow your mind but it does the job. The things that make Lola stand out from the pack are the exceptionally friendly service and the big kid's play area out the back...think a cozy rug, books and toys, and a chalkboard wall. Plenty of spots for prams and a change table in the bathrooms make this a fantastic choice for a mum's coffee date. Their outdoor seating is the best in Seddon due to the maximum sun exposure they get. All in all, a pleasant new addition to the hood. read more

Lola Cafe - Portuguese Near Me - Seddon, VIC

Lola is a nice little cafe in sleepy Seddon and has a great assortment of indoor and brightly coloured umbrella laden outdoor tables. They are very dog friendly and serve spanish style breakfast and tapas. I have to say the service is very relaxed but it is friendly. Bonus points for being one of the few places in Seddon to squeeze their own fruit juices. My tip for brunch is the Jamon and manchego toastie with an extra side of goats curd. On their lunch menu I recommend the steak sandwich. read more

Great place. Excellent service with people who knew the menus back the front and were able to give advice as to what to order or what's popular. Food itself was fantastic. Good paella, excellent eggs with black pudding. It was also noted that the sangrea was a great mix, a bit fresher than normal which was a good change Will definitely come back! read more

Great service and good food. I always feel at home in Cafe Lola as does my 2.5 year old son who is made to feel very welcome by the staff who are genuinily friendly. Coffee is consistently good and i have never had a bad one at Cafe Lola The food is very good and certainly reminds me of my days living in Spain. Overall I highly recommend Cafe Lola. read more
