The Veggie Monster
Katie H.

Lovely Saturday brunch here with friends last weekend! They close at 2pm and we got there after 1...they graciously accepted us to the waitlist and didn't seem put out at all by the fact we ended up finishing after 2pm by the time we got seated and finished eating. That said, service was great. Asked for decaf and we were given a whole French press :) Between the three of us, we ordered the hangover cure breakfast sandwich, the All American (2 eggs, bacon, home fries, and sourdough toast), and the veggie monster bagel sandwich. All of us really enjoyed our entrees! I got the veggie monster and it was great...the bagel was fresh and I loved the rosemary. Veggies were crisp and they even had multiple types of hot sauce to choose from so I was a happy camper. Expect a wait here if you go on the weekend, but to me it was worth it. Thank you for the experience and delicious food, Lola's Eatery!

Lola's is such a great spot to eat at if you're in Lawrenceville. Their bacon egg and cheese bag sandwich with an espresso martini is my favorite combo. The vibe is so cute, funky, and a little retro and the service is always great. Definitely recommend.

Lola's has become one of our go-to spots, especially for breakfast--the breakfast egg rolls are incredible and worth the trip on their own. The food overall is consistently delicious, and the vibe inside is super cute and thoughtfully decorated. I also really appreciate that they have a parking lot, even though it's small and usually full. That said, there are a few areas that could be better. We've had items left out of our order a few times, and while they have always made it right when I reached out on Instagram, it's definitely frustrating. Takeout waits can also be a challenge--there have been times we waited around 50 minutes past the pickup time. Despite those hiccups, we keep coming back because the food is great and the staff has been responsive when issues come up. Just plan for a bit of a wait and double-check your order

Great brunch spot with a Filipino twist! From the outside, I would have never guessed how eclectic and fun the inside. We stopped by around 9:45 am on a Saturday and were lucky to snag two open bar seats; otherwise, the wait for a table would've been about 15 minutes. We started with the ube latte and coconut-pandan latte. Both flavors were pretty suble, but I though the pandan latte had a more noticeable pandan aftertaste. For food, we ordered the Spam N'at (Spam Silog) -- definitely recommend adding the house banana ketchup for an extra $1. We also got sides to share: breakfast eggrolls, lumpia shanghai, and bola bola (Filipino meatballs). The lumpias were perfectly crispy. Presentation of the lumpias in the Spam can was so cool and resourceful! The breakfast eggrolls were tasty, but a bit messy with the filling spilling out. And the bola bola were surprisingly huge! Overall, a great brunch experience that mixes comfort and creativity in all the right ways.

Lola's is honestly a hidden gem in PGH. I love that they have incorporate traditional filipino flavors into traditional American dishes. Like their incredible and gigantic ube cinnamon rolls!! Their dessert section is so decadent. They have so many unique and fun donut flavors. They post a lot of specialty items on their Instagram, and that's the easiest way to follow along for their specials. Their brunch/breakfast options are amazing too. However, the line is always super long on weekends, and their breakfast bagels are usually sold out by the time I can get there. I usually always get the lumpia (a traditional Filipino spring roll filled with shrimp and pork) because it is SO good. Overall, Lola's definitely a great spot for breakfast and sweets (if you can get there before they sell out)!

Create Your Own Hang Over Cure
Nate R.

Our first time here and won't be our last! Absolutely delicious! We ordered the hangover cures and made them our way with home fries. The eggs are made with ricotta and chives that take them to another level! We added avocado and tomato to ours which only made it better. The home fries were seasoned with some sort of heavenly spices. They're advertised as best in the burgh, and they very well might be. Intimate, lively, chic spot with friendly service that we'll add to the rotation!

The best food and drink options for breakfast/brunch in a cozy and chic environment! A total gem. We visited Lola's around 9:45 AM and were seated right away. There were several customers dining in and some walking in for take-out orders. Our waitress, Eva, came over promptly while we looked over the menu and asked if we were interested in drinks. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk and lavender flavor. SO GOOD! A nice amount of sweetness and tons of lavender syrup. The veggie monster breakfast sandwich is deemed a forever favorite now - I could taste every single vegetable inside and the rosemary on the bagel was delightful. Comes with avocado at no extra charge. You can also add a hash brown, but I opted not to. I eyed up the pastry case all morning and walked over to see what was available. I went with the mixed berry pop tart and it took me back to my childhood. The pastry dough was crispy the filling inside was sweet. Lola's is a one of a kind spot in Pittsburgh and I recommend stopping by.

Fantastic time at Lola's! Walked in with a party of 6 on a Sunday morning and the waitlist was super easy to join and track along on our phones. Within 30 mins we were seated and our server was super kind and helpful with the menu. My group mainly got the Hangover Cure and the American breakfast. We all LOVED our food! The decorations inside make the space so cozy and fun. Love the random little decorations like the everything bagel lamp on the wall. My food was cooked perfectly and hit the spot! Their house made dessert selection looked amazing but unfortunately we did not have enough space to try them - next time! The menu had a ton of different Filipino and Mexican inspired dishes, I loved the unique combination! They also have a list of rotating weekday specials (none really on the weekend) so definitely worth checking those out! Can't wait to visit again

For now I am only speaking to the baked goods, I came at 10 am hoping for a table and the wait was 45 minutes and the line was out of the door, which just makes me even more eager to come back. They have an amazing bakery case where you can grab a goodie and also coffee to go or while you wait which I thought was a nice touch. The pastry variety was excellent, I got a pumpkin pie donut and YUMMM so fresh! I can't wait until I can truly try this place out, I'll be outside when they open!

Ube Cinnamon Roll

Food was amazing! Tasted spectacular and the presentation was very neat and cute. Service was very quick and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Internal design was super cute as well

Lola's Eatery is a favorite stop for us! The chicken and ube waffles are divine! Love the donuts and pastries too! Cocktails are delicious. Service is always amazing as their staff are super friendly and attentive-- Ginya and Mel are awesome! I always feel like I am having brunch at my best friend's apartment!

One of those serendipitous moments...found ourselves here bc we mistakenly thought the Roberto Clemente Museum was open. Lola's is next door, looked it up on Yelp , and saw great reviews and ube so... Fantastic experience! Showed up about 30 minutes before closing on a Sunday ( closes at 2 PM). They were crowded with a wait. Seated and had the wonderful Rita serve us. She was friendly, attentive and always had a smile on her face ( as did the rest of the servers-- such a joy , seriously). I ordered the giant Ube cinnamon roll- yum yum yum. Fantastic! Also got the strawberry latte with crushed pretzels, also fabulous. My husband got the lox bagel. At this point all they had were rosemary bagels, and the mix of it with the herbed cream cheese was delicious. No leftovers!!! Beautiful restroom as well-- look at my photos!! And be sure to visit the incredible Roberto Clemente Museum next door-- we went later. You don't have to be a baseball fan to appreciate this m

I didn't know I could fall in love with a pastry until I met the ube cinnamon roll at Lola's. It's soft, warm, and covered in the prettiest purple glaze that tastes like pure magic. Super fun spot and my favorite brunch spot in all of PGH.

When we walked in, the host greeted us right away, asked for our name, and seated us pretty quickly. There were actually a good amount of open seats, so I am not sure reservations were completely necessary, but it was still nice to have one. I honestly expected the inside to feel more extravagant and space themed, almost like an outer space vibe with more visual elements and atmosphere. I was hoping for something more immersive and futuristic. It was still cool overall, just not quite as visually dramatic as I imagined. We ordered an espresso martini and the Kiwi Nova. I really enjoyed my drink, especially after talking with the host who explained that they use scientific processes for their cocktails along with fresh purées and fresh ingredients. That is something I really appreciate because I am not a fan of drinks made with a lot of simple syrup or fake additives. He loved his espresso martini and said it was one of the best he has had. My drink was definitely on the sweeter side and I feel like too much of it might lead to a hangover, but it was still really good. Our server was attentive at first, but later on we ended up waiting a while to order another round. After sitting for a bit, we decided to order through the hostess instead and she got us taken care of right away. Overall, it was a cool experience mainly for the drinks. The cocktails were definitely the highlight. Service was okay, and I am not sure if we will return, but I am glad we finally got to check it out.

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. The drinks are definitely crafted with care and have a lot of complexity, but with only two bartenders working, it took quite a while to get ours. Not the place to go if you want quick service or are grabbing a drink before another event. My biggest downside is the price point--most cocktails are around $17. They're good, but at that price I can really only justify having one. Note: They do not have food, just snacks like peanuts. Overall, amazing ambiance and well-made drinks, just expect slower service and a higher bill.

Cocktails were made surprisingly quick even on a busy night. Everything is just really great about this place. Except for maybe the price lol but at least you're getting what you pay for in a good way
