The food is very good and well presented. Pretty place and nice ambiance as well as seating outside with a small patio. Just don't come after 2:30 if you expect a full service lunch, their kitchen closes down and no made to order salads or sandwiches are served after that time. Worth a stop if you are in the area. read more

This has got to be one of the best breakfast places in the whole world!!!!!!! As far as food and breakfast goes, it hit every mark! Fantastic food, great atmosphere, awesome everything! I wish I could go to this place every day!!!!! The avocado toast was the best, the French toast soufflé was picture perfect and the care that was taken to season was superb. The review is short because this place is that good!!!!!! Certainly one of the best places I have ever ate at. Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

We normally enjoy the coffee and pastries. Saturday we came in for an actual breakfast around 11:30. It wasn't particularly busy however our food took an unusually long amount of time to come... talking about avocado toast and poached eggs 30+minutes. Gluten free bread on the avocado toast was soggy. The taste of the avocado spread was very nice however. The poached eggs on toast lacked flavor. The worst part tho is when they brought the long awaited food my add on bacon was very cold... I took a bite and asked the server if it was supposed to come out cold... he replied no and took it... came out 30 seconds later and said it's probably pretty soggy but no longer cold. He brought me out the same bacon with a bite out of it after he threw it in the microwave Was not impressed however my girlfriend likes the coffee and pastries may give it another shot. read more

I wish there were more local cafes like this! I've been coming back to Lola's every week since I stumbled onto it after moving here in Jan. This place is a gem. Good food/drinks and friendly staff, with owners who care about the business and the customers. And they make a great cappuccino. Out of my dozens of orders, there have only been a couple issues, which were corrected immediately. If my budget supported coming here every day, I would! read more

Lola's Cafe - Lolas Breakfast Burrito and a capuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

I've had the Proprietor's Vegan Breakfast Burrito twice now and it's fantastic! Great service. Nice cornerstone gem in Ladera Ranch.

Lola's Cafe is located off of Terrace and Corporate Drive, right in the corner of a cute shopping center. I stumbled upon this place during my daily Yelp searches and stopped in for a quick visit between my daily errands. Walking in you will notice such a cute rustic decor with several wall art displays and unique shelve items available for purchase. They have a great selection of drinks and instantly you will notice a delicious display of fresh delectable pastries as well as salads and sandwiches. They also have a great selection of coffees and Teas. I ordered the Green Tea Matcha Latte and it was made just perfectly and every sip was heavenly. Of course drinking it in a large mug with cute latte art makes it so much better! I also ordered the Avocado Toast on Multi grain bread. Its topped with a generous spread of there avocado, hemp seeds, chili pepper flakes, Himalayan salt( some kind of salt) and greens. It comes with four slices with several plump cherry tomatoes on a cute wood board. The presentation is simple yet the overall taste and experience is Amazing! I enjoyed my quick visit the first time, I returned the next day with my son to enjoy another round of Avocado Toast and the Honey Vanilla Latte. My son had the kids Jelly Sandwich. As a picky eater, he truly enjoyed his breakfast. Overall...Lola's Cafe is such a great addition to the Ladera Ranch Community and it has instantly become one of my favorites. With all the healthy menu options, fresh pastries and fine coffee selections, this place has it all! The owner is very kind and the staff/ Service is Amazing! I really look forward to my next visit and I'm excited to try the other items on the menu. read more

Good coffee and delicious sandwiches. Highly recommend! Definitely will be back. Aldo great service!

Such delicious food! It's a hidden gem in Ladera. We ordered the kale salad with curried chicken and it was really good. We will definitely be back. read more

Love the food but it's always so hot inside. I wish they would run the air in the summer.

This place is unorganized and overpriced. The coffee is good and the food is decent. But I'd rather pay their prices by a beach than be sitting in a cramped space and waiting forever to get my order. read more

Yummy! Icelandic and the egg/avo smash. Egg/avo smash sandwich was SO good. Their bread is fresh and they don't skimp on portion sizes. I strongly recommend trying to honey vanilla latte. Cute place with solid breakfast options. Try it! read more

First thing: absolutely wonderful staff. The location is super convenient and has an uplifting atmosphere. The layout is welcoming and allows you to browse the items they have displayed for sale. I ordered an iced London fog with oat milk and lavender syrup. They couldn't have made it any better. It is delicious. I also ordered an avocado toast on a French baguette, but I was so astounded by the drink and kindness that I couldn't wait to review. read more

Lovely place with great healthy choices. It was my first time but I will be back for sure. Make sure you try the sufle

Nice ambiance, great service, yummy food. A Ladera gem. Hope they stay here for good!

Ugh i'm sad the breakfast burrito was just not it. the ratio of the egg and everything else was so off. I think it would have been better with salsa or some sauce on the side. And i did not see any aioli. However one of my favorite things is asking for a matcha lemonade, it's not in their menu and everyone is so nice and willing to make it. I'm just disappointed:/ read more

Enjoyed the french toast soufflé this afternoon & it was a slice of heaven! Literally like a piece of art! The service from the beginning was great, the patio was peaceful & it just made our Tuesday Terrific read more

It's been a minute since I've eaten a Lola's so thought I've give it a try with my 10 yo granddaughter. Thought it would be a fun place to eat after a day together. She was excited to get the Avocado toast and I ordered the BBQ chicken flatbread. Service was friendly and out food arrived within a few minutes. The flatbread was fine... toppings were scare, flavor was as expected. The Avocado Toast was not done. Not sure if the bread was stale or simply over toasted. One of the pieces was the heel so that didn't help the fact that the bread was hard, solid, not able to be eaten. I had a challenging time even trying to cut the crust off the bread so she could eat what was left. I definitely would have returned this item but we were in a bit of a hurry so we shared the flatbread and took a couple bites from the center of the toast. Would NOT order this item again. On a good note, the place is cute, has patio seating and we like the fresh squeezed orange juice and usually pick up something from the small retail goodies offered. read more

BEST TURKEY CLUB EVER!! the only problem I have is that they don't have fountain drinks but other than that Delicious!

Great place to study or catch up with friends! I stumbled upon this cafe while exploring Mission Viejo and immediately fell in love with the relaxed laid back atmosphere. There's a combination of long communal style tables with benches and small square tables for individuals working or studying on their laptops. Although it wasn't on the menu the server agreed to make me an earl grey tea latte (what great service!) and I sipped on it happily while studying on a Monday morning. Most diners were eating avocado toast in the morning and flatbreads became popular as the morning transitioned into the afternoon. I was debating between the avocado toast and a few lox options but ended up ordering Suzy's Icelandic Breakfast, which was a sandwich consisting of house smoked salmon, egg salad, red onions, capers and lettuce. The salmon was heavy on the dill which I didn't mind and was very fresh and delicious! Would definitely come back to study or relax and read a book on my next day off- thank you Lola's for the great service and yummy food! I'll definitely be back! read more

Great vegan breakfast and definitely the best vegan option in Trabuco Canyon and the surrounding area. Delicious coffee, my favorite is the lavender latte - they make the syrup in house and it's not too sweet. Get the vegan breakfast burrito - one of the most filling morning meals I've ever had. read more

Came by on a Saturday afternoon at about 4:15 with my girlfriend because I was craving a nice coffee beverage. I really didn't want something from a chain so I was trying to find a privately owned little coffee shop through Yelp and came across Lola's. It was quiet when we got there - only one table was full. I looked over the menu and asked the barista what they were known for. She gave some great recommendations and I settled with the iced lavender latte with almond milk. They make their syrups in-house which I found awesome! The drink was ready fairly quickly and wow, did it taste good! A real quality beverage. It was a bit pricey but it was delicious so it's okay. Really glad a place like this opened up in Ladera Ranch. Would love to try their breakfast sometime. read more

Lola's Cafe - Iced lavender latte with almond milk! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

Horrible first experience. Watered down coffee. No flavor. Cashier was rude and took it upon herself to say snide inappropriate remarks about Starbucks I inquired about the prices of pastries. The case looked dingy and not clean. Starbucks continually cleans everything every day during every shift The pastries were all at least $1 to $3 more expensive than Starbucks. A plain croissant was $3.50 Poor service. The store was 80 degrees weird Who ever goes here your being ripped off. Starbucks rocks. Fair prices extremely clean and employees who are friendly and trained much better read more

Lola's cafe is the absolute best! Not only do we frequent the cafe for breakfast and lunch, but we have now used their catering services for a second time. Matt and Ava were so helpful, attentive to detail, and everyone at our event loved the food. It was delicious and beautiful to present. We are so grateful to have this incredible business in our community!! read more

Slightly higher priced but their food and drinks are delicious. Lattes are good, especially their lavender. Avocado toast and their Icelandic breakfast sandwich is my favorite. Small place so if it's busy might be hard to get a table. read more

I was 20 minutes late for work (7am start) although I came in at 6:30am to order two lattes and two sandwiches. Not to mention I was the only costumer in there, one other person was already served. The cashier did not help the back kitchen staff although she knew that the male was on his first days of training. I do not know who had the great idea to leave a brand new person training ALONE especially with countless recipes and specifics on how certain things are cut and prepped. Your costumers are not a first time learning experience, put a trainer with him at least. The male chef made our order wrong, understandable but there was no communication with me and the cashier, I would have understandably taken a refund. I would have much rather had a cashier ask me if I had the time to wait or wanted a refund. I did not get my food until 7:12, more than 30 minutes. This place has ridiculous prices too. I paid $42, for that price I would have gone shopping and made my own food/latte. I get the price for food, I am paying for quality but the markups on the lattes were insane. I got a honey vanilla latte and the base price is 5.25, a dollar added for a large and a dollar charged for the honey latte. I got a dirty chai, a dollar added for a large and a dollar charged for a dirty chai. Of course there is no mention on the markup price on their online menu. Just charge me for the cup and ice while you are at it. I can't care on how sweet a cashier can be, that only gets you so far. It isn't a laughing matter than my food is more than 30 minutes late when I am the only person in the café. read more

Hidden amongst all the random things in this part of Ladera you will find exactly what is all good for everyone in the Ladera area! A mellow little cafe that has an abundance of coffee's and teas as well as some delicious breakfast items that are just down right good! They also offer a variety of sandwiches for lunch time too but I'm mostly in it for what's good for the morning breakfast hours! The breakfast burrito was super scrumptious it came wrapped in a spinach tortilla that was filled with eggs, cheese, turkey bacon, avocado, Pico and a few other awesome things to hit your flavor spot as everything inside was just super fresh and all around good! The French toast we ordered was also awesome it was like a big cupcake filled with berries and a sweet sugar glaze over the top of it! Overall they have delicious food a mellow atmosphere and the staff who works here was super friendly and mellow I'm sure it won't be long before we come back for some of what's all Ladera good! read more

I've tried and tried to like this place - their vegan options are terrible. I've had conversations with the owner to give feedback and offer some ideas on what could be done to improve the flavor for vegans - he always acts like he's interested and cares but over time nothing has changed and the food remains blah. On top of that, every time i go in the decaf grinder isn't working and i have to have something besides coffee. Once i understand, every time maybe you need a new machine. It's always crazy busy and loud - i think young moms have play dates there with lots of littles running around and yelling. Today i had another bad scenario and spoke with the owner - seeing as there was a lineup he didn't care. I paid extra for something i didn't get and there was not even an offer for reimbursement. Sorry Lola's but I'm done with you! **UPDATE:** In follow up to the owners' comment, i was having a great day and was in fine mood until coming into Lola's - i ordered from the menu "toast with vegan cashew cheese and strawberry preserve" - I've had that before and it was good - this time the the cashew cheese was green and tasted like pesto - not a good taste with strawberry jam. If what they served me in the past was not the cashew cheese then even then i did not get what i ordered. The alternative menu item he offered today was not a vegan option which would not be option for me - i wouldn't offer milk as an option to someone who is lactose intolerant. I didn't insult your customers - i only made comment that it is always noisy in there with kids running around. That's the reality of your restaurant - not a slam. If I'm looking for a quiet place to visit with a friend, this is not the place to go. Please don't make my bad experience to be about me having a bad day - i had just started the day and come into your shop laughing and happy with a friend - i also left laughing and happy as my issue was solely the food and service, not my attitude. read more

Always great food & service. Courteous waiters and very nice environment. Recommended!

Such good food and cute cafe. Egg & Avocado smash sandwich is my fav + iced chai w oat milk!!

Amazing place!!! delicious food wonderful service outside patio inside. Great love it.

Found this little gem when I was searching Yelp. And wow! The food is wonderful. First I tried the caprese sandwich and then the spiralled zucchini salad and the avocado toast and then the Louis grilled cheese. Best grill cheese I have ever tasted. So delish. The food is so fresh and so good. They use such fresh ingredients. The owner is so friendly and makes his rounds to make sure everyone is happy with what they ordered. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting good fresh food that is amazing. Back again for like the 6th time in a couple of months. Wish it was closer. I think I would be here everyday!! Love the food. Today I tried the chicken curry salad sandwich on the whole grain bread. Sooooo delish. Just a hint of curry. Not overpowering at all!! Very mild. And of course the service and Matt are awesome. Keep the great food coming!! read more

My friend and I found this place on yelp and it did not disappoint. They offer a wide array of delicious breakfast items that were not only beautiful, but tasty also. Price point was reasonable and portions were big enough to share. We ordered: *Lox Flatbread- Came out hot & fresh with a generous amount of lox, marscapone cheese, capers, fresh dill, tomato slices, and onion. *Berry French Toast Soufflé- It was a tasty treat! Hot & gooey! Not too sweet! If I ever find myself in the area I'd definitely stop by again. read more

Came here with my wife this morning! I actually used to work here a million years ago and it was sooo nice seeing how the place turned out. Ganache Latte, Lavender Latte, Apple Cinnamon Brioche French Toast Soufflé, and Tuna melt and 2 pastries for around 54 dollars, a lil high but for a small business it was worth it! Great service too.
