Not only was she a showgirl at the Copacabana and inspiration for The Kinks, she apparently has a great little place on the corner of Main Street in the heart of New Paltz. It has an outdoor seating area and a municipal parking lot across the street. When you come in, the hostess will assign you a table. You then download a menu from a QR code at your table and then go to the cashier to order. Your food will be brought to your table. I had the Asian Noodle Bowl with Ahi Tuna and a sweet and salty peanut butter vanilla shake. The other person I was with got a tomato and mozzarella panini. We drank bottled Harney & Sons lemonade and cucumber/lemon infused water, which is available in a dispenser in the center of the seating area, along with hand sanitizer and plastic cups. Clearly, don't drink the hand sanitizer. The shake was incredibly well presented and very heavy on the peanut butter. The vanilla milk part in the shake is very liquid and thin, it's not a thick shake by any means. It was cold and refreshing with a light vanilla flavor, but really overwhelmed by the peanut butter. Did I say it was heavy on the peanut butter? The ahi tuna was cooked medium rare and had a nice flavor, heavy on the ginger. The Asian noodles were peanut buttery and had some spice, but were drenched in the sauce. I was told the panini was good and fresh. Service was excellent, friendly, accurate, and prompt. Remember to tip well at the cash register. I would definitely come back here and would love going if I were a student in the area. read more

The staff working on this evening quite miserable. My order was literally thrown on table with my silverware and she says as she is walking away..."let me know if you need anything". Food was ok. Establishment has the doors open so there are flies everywhere. Covered my drink and my food when I wasn't drinking or eating. So, not thrilled with this place. read more

Service was very friendly and welcoming. Refreshing water station when you walk in. Order at the counter and food delivered to table. Great portions for a great price, excellent value. Had a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie to top it off. Will definitely be back!! read more

Lola's Cafe - Turkey Chipotle Panini w Fries - Sandwiches Near Me - New Paltz, New York

Great lunch spot right in the heart of New Paltz. Great paninis, soup, salads & bowls. Outside deck.

Took a day trip with my daughter (18) and her two best friends to the New Paltz area to hike/swim at Split Rock and explore the town. We were starving after hiking and swimming so we went straight to Lola's for lunch. Wow- what a wonderful dining experience! We all ordered different meals and all basically "licked our plates clean". My daughter's friend ordered the impressive hot chicken sandwich and we were all blown away just by the looks of it! I ordered the turkey and Brie panini with blackberry preserves and the peanut noodles (which were to die for) We all loved that we could choose a side with our sandwiches and that you could refill your lemon water from an icy communal canteen. Prices were reasonable, staff is friendly and welcoming, and there is a parking lot in the rear of the building (metered) which made it easy for 4 hungry girls to get lunch. We will definitely be back! read more

For the last few years, I have been going to Lola's for lunch in New Paltz. Well, why? Fantastic food, wonderful ambiance and grand service. I especially enjoy the black bean burgers, French fries and of course the 'bigy' South Beach (shrimp) salad., Oh, also really love the cold drip ice coffee! Five stars rating from old Francis. read more

This is a cool little spot right inside of town and not too far from our favorite place for views, mohonk mountain. We sat outside and it was chill. You have to order your food inside and then they bring it out. All the waiters or hosts were very friendly. I got the grilled chicken bruschetta panini with a side of corn and beans, it was very good, except there was a lot of oil under my sandwich which left me alittle greasy. I think it may have come from the salad. My husband got the quinoa bowl with poke and shrimp. Also very good, but had a bit too much oil at the bottom as well. May have been the dressing that was on it. It was good and we would come back to try more! read more

Modern and clean ambiance. Servers are very friendly. We orders both daily soups and panini. Toscana Tomato soup is very hearty in the cold weather and paninis are also good. Personally, we felt both taste a bit salty, but overall we are pretty satisfied Will come back again to try different menus. read more

Cute cafe in New Paltz. Stopped in midday on a Sunday. Food was mediocre. Had the chicken salad wrap with fries and my guest had the special - curry chicken salad wrap. We also had a bowl of the black bean soup. My guest enjoyed her wrap. My standard chicken salad wrap was just okay. The black bean soup was watery and bland, like they were stretching the pot. Soup orders have no "cup" option - only a full bowl. So lots uneaten. Fries were standard frozen fries. The staff at the front and at the register where you order were sullen and unfriendly, not rude at all, but like there were a million other things they'd rather be doing than what they were doing. Not helpful with the menu for a first timer. No New Paltz vibe at all. I've heard raves about this place, but I don't get the same excitement. Maybe it was the day or the time, but it was entirely lackluster and forgettable. read more

The place is really nice, though it does not have AC inside and gets really hot. The food was good. However, the spicy crispy chicken sandwich was a little greasy and not really spicy. read more

We appreciated the fact that they had a separate gluten free menu. And the kids section on their regular menu was great too. The service was quick and attentive. We enjoyed our meals and would go back. read more

My job got some take out from here. I got a thai chicken wrap with a side of peanut noodles. It was out of this world! Very fresh and tasty. I recommend visiting here!! read more

In upstate NY for the day, I ended up at Lola's with friends on a recommendation. Super cute atmosphere. Nice outdoor seating area right on a street corner where you could take in the sights, but not so noisy you felt you couldn't enjoy your company, a great balance! I immediately noticed that both gluten free and vegan menus were available, and so of course, I asked! I was very happy to see that the short rib grilled cheese that was recommended to me was also on the gluten free menu. Very simple ordering system, with friendly, well-informed service. I will say that I was expecting more short rib in the sandwich, but it was definitely delicious, and I could see myself ordering it again! if I'm ever in the area again, I know where I'm eating! read more

Lola's is a great place to get food quick if you're in New Paltz. They have great sandwich, panini and salad options. They even have vegan and meat chili which is perfect to order on a colder day. I always get their chicken Caesar salad which is really good and priced very fairly. I've also tasted their paninis which come with a side salad and a pickle. In warmer months there is also outside seating and they always have either cucumber or some other type of infused water ready to be consumed. Lola's is always a reliable option for dining in or taking out! read more

So glad our friend recommended this restaurant!! When we walked in we were greeted by a girl at the counter who informed us that she'd take our order when we were ready, and a waitress would bring the food to the table. We were eating during the lunch hour, so I was pretty amazed that our food was on our table within 5-7 minutes of us ordering it! I had the Short Rib Grilled Cheese w fries, my husband had the Southwestern Cobb Salad--we both absolutely LOVED our food and were pleasantly full when we left. The rib meat on the grilled cheese was super tender and flavorful (my mouth is watering while I'm thinking of it!!) And the Cobb salad was tasty, and we loved the dressing!! Even their fries were tasty as hell! Fun ambiance, great staff!! We'll definitely stop again next time we're in the area!! read more

came here on mothers day around 1pm after hiking at mohonk. the sun was out so we sat outside. id say the food was just average. losing a star because they hand you menus when they seat you but they dont tell you you need to go inside and order at the counter, so we ended up just sitting there for an extra 5-10 minutes not knowing that was the case. i saw the same happen to a few other tables too where people looked frustrated. We got the black bean burger and the thai chicken wrap. both were good, nothing to write home about. Overall a good place to sit outside and enjoy a meal but the food was just fine. read more

Great place for takeout! They do have indoor and outdoor seating available. Location is a bit difficult to access based on parking especially on a busy day in New Paltz but definitely worth it! Great salads, wraps and have lots of specials read more

What wonderful cafe!! The space for seating gives patrons enough room between tables. There are plenty of healthy/tasty meal options. I had the black bean burger with French fries, and it was delicious! My mother enjoyed the Baja chicken wrap with peanut noodles. The service is very good!

One of my favorite places to eat on Main Street in New Paltz! I recommend Lola's to everyone I know. The service is fairly fast, its really clean inside and the food is delicious. I like the black bean burger and the B.L.A.T. the best!! I also get the peanut noodles (they're cold noodles) as my side instead of fries. Only complaint is this. I got the Chicken Waldorf salad as take out and had to add some toppings to it at home in order to eat it. It was extremely bland with hardly any toppings and I didn't like the cider dressing. Also, a heads up that they messed up my take out order once so check your bag of food before you leave the restaurant! Despite the complaints, I really love my two regular dishes and how clean and fast Lola's is. Highly recommend trying it. read more

Ordered food for pick-up this past weekend while visiting New Paltz. They open at 11 am so we placed an order online via the Toast app for the earliest pick-up time at 11:30 am. Their menu features different wraps, sandwiches, burgers and bowls. I ordered the Baja Chicken wrap with chipotle mayo on the side and fries as my side dish and my bf ordered the Seasonal Chicken salad wrap with fries. Lola's is situated on a busy corner on Main Street so parking can be tough - my bf dropped me off and I ran in to pick up the order at 11:30 am - it was ready upon arrival. Both wraps were a good size. It's nice they include an offer of a side - their fries were good and they also offer peanut noodles, side salad, etc. The chicken salad wrap was interesting since it had a citrusy taste. We both enjoyed our meals. I would recommend this place for those in the area for takeout. They also had a good amount of indoor and outdoor dining space if you were hoping to dine in. read more

Must spot in upstate New York if you are in the area stop by for their amazing food. We tried their noodle bowl, chicken with spicy peanut sauce noodles, it was so good.

Amazing food, delicious on first bite. Gluten and vegetarian options solved a lot of the usual challenges. Perfect snack spot after a day of hiking. Ordering and service is a little off-kilter to the usual restaurant experience: order at the register and they bring it to your table number (no waitstaff otherwise). On the noisier/louder side (small space). Looking forward to going back. :) read more

Went here with a friend and had an amazing time. Great food and atmosphere! Everyone was so friendly.

So, I can say that I've never been the type of person to consider eating healthy but! Lolas has truly changed my mind. The Southwest Bowl is absolutely delicious! I love the taste, the tofu is so delicious I could strictly have an entire bowl of that. The avocado also tastes fresh, which is nice because that's rare to find nowadays. I'm very pleased with the quality of food that is coming out of Lolas because it helps people who choose not to be healthy actually consider being healthy! The only thing that has been sad is they slightly raised the prices, but I can't complain because they always put out good food and it has never failed me. Always pleased! read more

Lola's Cafe - Southwest Bowl fully loaded! - Sandwiches Near Me - New Paltz, New York

A super nice place to meet up with friends and take the family out, including the pooch (they're dog-friendly). I cannot say enough good things about my Asian spicy noodle bowl with blackened tofu (a modern variation of Szechuan Noodles, so good) and their black bean and corn salad. That said, you will find enough to please pretty much any palate. So why four stars? They do not have desserts, only milkshakes. Could they perhaps add desserts and get that fifth star? read more

I'm usually a big fan of Lolas but today I was disappointed. The panini I ordered was assembled haphazardly and was cold when we picked it up. read more

The food was pretty good, but there are so many flies and yellow jackets in the outdoor and indoor dining area. So much so, it makes it not enjoyable to be there when you are constantly swatting flies away from your food, or worried about a yellow jacket stinging you. It makes me wonder about the cleanliness of the surfaces and the kitchen. Having an open-top garbage can outside in the sun may not be helping here. I wouldn't come back because of this. read more

Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy But when I ordered their fries Well, I almost fell for my Lola This place was JUMPING with people on a SUNNY SEPTEMBER SATURDAY evening. My friend and I were told we could sit outside on the porch, so we did! There was a party of five with a dog at another table. The dog would bark at everyone. He was awful. His/her owners didn't seem to care, because it's 2021 and no one cares much about how they effect others anymore. But enough about society, let's talk about the food: It was DANK! Dank-a-pod Dank-a-Saurus Dank-A-Dactyl. The menu is inventive. There was a crazy grilled cheese sandwich with chutney and ribs. Really good. The fries were dank-a-copter too! My only complaint is the water was "self service" and the water tank was about empty. Also, the dogs that eat there are loud as heck. read more

Came here on a whim after hiking nearby at Minnewaska State Park. It was pretty empty but the menu was exactly what we were looking for so we decided to go in any way. It was good and fresh but kind of pricey for the area. The shawarma was breast meat which I enjoyed because it made it much healthier and less fatty compared to the norm read more

First time here. Staff is very nice. Ordered some salads and a panini. Shrimp salad was very good and fresh. Portion size was ok. Asian style rice and noodle bowl was less than half filled with very little broccoli. It was very good but for 15 bucks you would figure the portion size would reflect that. Panini was good, but came with a very tiny portion of salad as we substituted with fries. Pickle was a cheap basic vinegar based spear. Prices are high and portions are small, but the food was fresh and good. Cucumber water is a nice touch and yummy. Decor was cool and the place was clean. Will return and try out other items on the menu. read more

Very cute, efficient cafe for grabbing a bite of delicious food. Stopped by here for some brunch on a Sunday while traveling back down through NY. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this little cafe in a college town, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food here. The interior was spacious, and everything, including the bathrooms, seemed clean. My only qualm about cleanliness is that the sink is located outside of the bathroom in an open area. It's cute and quirky, but my inner germophobe was panicking at how many people had probably wiped their butts and then touched that bathroom doorknob before being able to wash! Ordering was simple and efficient. The food came out relatively quickly despite the Sunday brunch crowd. And the waitresses were very polite and animated. Love how they had cucumber/citrus infused water in a dispenser for free! My boyfriend tried the short rib grilled cheese and it was a masterpiece! Full of layers of flavor and oozing with cheesy goodness. I couldn't help eating off his plate! I ordered a chipotle turkey panini, and that was good too, but just couldn't hold a candle to the grilled cheese. My sandwich probably needed something to amp up the flavor. The fries were delicious though, just the right balance of crispy exterior and soft interior. Glad I tried this place out! read more

Great spot in New Paltz! Stopped in for lunch on a weekday and was pleasantly surprised by the menu, which was chock full of paninis, sandwiches and salads. They also had quite a few specials. You order at the counter and find a table inside or outside. I opted for the turkey and Brie panini, which was topped with a blackberry compote. It was served warm and I got it with the house salad, which was perfectly dressed. The panini was so tasty and the blackberry compote was perfection. Highly recommend! read more

Great salad with berries and chicken. Wonderful service and a nice atmosphere. Wish we lived closer!

A quick online search for vegetarian options in New Paltz led me to Lola's Cafe and it did not disappoint! This casual restaurant has a small but cute (string lights, etc.) outdoor patio seating area on Main Street. Although there is not full waitress service, we were seated right away, and staff was friendly and compliant. Menus available via a QR code, and a vegan menu was available on paper upon request. While the menu was not huge and some items were not available on the day of my visit, I was pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh and flavorful. read more
