I went on an off day to avoid the weekend crowd. The place stands out from other storefronts due to its yellow frame. Once I entered, the kind staff greeted me and was very welcoming. I got the Mcsteamy with a dirty chai. The food was good and I would love to try other things on the menu. It has a filipino twist which I love and the place is decorated very cozy and fun. See their instagram to know about their speciality items! read more

I've eaten at Lola's Eatery a few times, whenever I'm feeling a dire need for Filipino food (I'm Filipino btw). I don't normally go here, because it feels like their menu is majority American breakfast foods, but when I come by I do enjoy my lumpia fix, a pandan latte, and an ube cinna roll. As for the American breakfast foods. I've ordered the Hangover Cure, but the egg felt too runny for my taste, even as someone who enjoys a runny egg. At times, it was almost watery. I've had their donuts before, but they were too sweet for my taste. The Filipino main dishes are limited. They have spam silog, a spam, egg and rice dish for $15, which is, personally, the kind of meal I'll stick to making at home than paying for it at a restaurant. They also have ube chicken and waffles, but it's offered one day a week. I saw on here that they offer more Filipino/Filipino fusion options every once in a while, but I wish they had more on the menu. read more

Lola's is one of those places that just feels cozy and inviting as soon as you walk in. Their breakfast sandwiches are stacked/packed with flavor, and the baked goods are straight up dreamy! Every dish has a perfect mix of comfort and creativity. Service is warm, the vibes are great, and honestly, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave! Best keep up with them on IG to see what they've got coming next. read more

First time sitting in Lola's for breakfast. It was a little busy, so our order took a little longer than expected. It was worth the wait! Excellent quality and deliciously unique breakfast sandwiches! read more

Randomly stumbled upon this on Yelp so thought we try it out. The place is cozy and busssyyyy. We lucked out and got a seat. They have a QR code at the tables so you order food thru that and then they bring it to you. (You may wanna stay at the table you ordered at). The place was packed and many people kept walking in while we were there. The food was great! I could have eaten one more bagel for sure. The food was great, the portion sizes are normal and nothing crazy. We will def be back again. If you have a big appetite order an appetizer too! read more

The first time I went here I would have given 5 stars. Unfortunately I wasn't thrilled about the food this time. I got the basic B bagel sandwich and the eggs weren't undercooked but very watery? That is the best way to explain it. This caused the sandwich to completely fall apart, no shot of getting any egg to stay on. Don't go here on a first date type of mess. Flavor was okay but I miss the days where you could create your own bagel sandwich. We sat at the bar and our server was busy but still gave us enough attention to get in and out. Renovations are beautiful though and they did a great job. This being said, probably why it cost a decent amount for only two people to eat breakfast sandwiches. read more

Finally got to Lola's for cocktails and dinner. The espresso martini was sufficient, but have had better for the price. I enjoyed the breakfast nachos and would order that appetizer again. Service was great as it was early in the evening. I would return for apps and more drinks. read more

This brunch spot was recommended for coffee and tea, so I thought I would give it a try. The curb appeal is super cute and inviting. The inside was hopping with lots of guests. The decor was tasteful yet quirky and fun. It is super easy to order with a QR code at your table, and the food came out quickly. However, i was surprisingly disappointed with the food and drinks. Apparently, they have homemade chai, but I didn't think it was flavorful or spicy enough as the traditional chai latte usually is. I was happy about the temperature of the drink being hot! My husband ordered the salmon bagel. He was expected salmon lox and cream cheese on a bagel. To his dismay, the salmon was mixed in with the cream cheese and just not up to par with flavor. I ordered the spinach dip bagel. There was way too much dip to bagel ratio, and the dip was cold on top of the warm bagel. It was just nothing special and nothing to rave about. The atmosphere and service is top notch, but the food was lacking flavor and uniqueness. read more

Yum!!! Found this spot and it looked too good not to try....and man did it live up to the pictures I saw. An absolute gem and would go back in a heartbeat if in the city again. Semi small space with not too many seats but we were able to find a spot luckily. Ordering through the app isn't my favorite but it all worked out. When I placed the order online, it accidently got setup as "to-go" when we were actually eating in. The chorizo biscuits & gravy was fantastic and a great take on the classic. Nice biscuits and the gravy was definitely different enough that you knew it was flavorful and just hit different. The bagel sandwich was pretty unreal and absolutely delicious! Having both a hash brown AND herb cream cheese is literally my favorite additions to any bagel breakfast sandwich. Be prepared that it'll be a bit messy to each but well worth it. Theirs was probably top 5 I've had ever! I love the Filipino flair as well and would love to try other things on the menu if I ever can. The lechon, garlic rice and breakfast roll are calling my name!! I'd be surprised if you tried and was disappointed... read more

Amazing restaurant that also serves cocktails.  Brunch spot that now serves bites and drinks.  Their food is so creative and fresh, and they offer a happy hour food menu that is to die for.  I have also tried the breakfast, and it is amazing!  Online ordering available for pickup or eat outside and their newly decorated deck area.  I had the Put A Spell On You cocktail from their BOOsy Halloween cocktail menu. It was delicious! They make purple ice cubes from cabbage - turns your drink pink- pretty spooky! Loved the Lumpia Shanghai which are Filipino egg rolls, contains pork and shrimp and served with house sweet chili, served in the cutest spam container! Also had the Sinigang Fries which were tangy and so good served with a garlic aioli! Can't wait to try more! read more

I've only tried their brunch but have heard great things about their new evening service, especially the cocktails. Anyway... I love the vibe and the people who work here. They're super friendly and it's such a home-y space. As for the food, I'm never blown away but always satisfied, which keeps me coming back. For example, last time I went I really enjoyed the pandan latte, but thought that the grilled mac & cheese needed something more acidic with/on it and the pineapple bun was a little dry and unnecessarily green. Good brunch sandwiches though! read more

When I heard that Lola's was going to start having late night drinks and bites, I immediately wanted to go and made some friends go with me Saturday night. The interior is cute as always and we sat in the seating area right by the front window. We also took some pictures by a light up sign towards the back and in the bathroom. We all loved our cocktails, especially the ube-miso espresso martinis! I also really enjoyed the lychee mojito and found it very refreshing. We enjoyed the lumpia and veggie egg rolls. The fried scallions were a tiny portion for $7 and the fries were unfortunately soggy and not crispy but still had good flavor. It was their first weekend doing late night so hopefully they fix the fries in the future. I would definitely go back to try more of their late night bites and other cocktails! read more

Such a fun drink idea!!! Lolas has really amped up their game and created a small space into a bumping spot. I grabbed an iced coffee but not just any coffee, I got the specialty chocolate covered strawberry iced latte! It was so so good. That is my all time favorite coffee flavor combo too. The choco strawberry on top was perfect!! read more

Came here with our friend Greg who knows the owners. I loved Lola's. The interior is super cute and well designed. You order on your phone which is an easy added bonus. We all loved the food and how unique everything was!!! I got ube latte and ube waffles it was awesome. Both are delicious the latte was amazing. Not too sweet. The waffles with the purple ube butter were SO yummy. I added fried chicken and it was a nice touch. My boyfriend got the Sir sesame specialty sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. I love that they have a bunch of in house homemade pastries to choose from too. I got a chocolate donut and it was amazing. Next time I really want to try the basic b**** Sammy. Can't wait to return Definitely come here asap. Best breakfast in town. read more

We've gone here for sit down & takeout breakfast & always enjoy the food! This time we got a chocolate chip muffin which was delicious & I just had to get the breakfast egg rolls again because they are too good!! However, it's definitely pricey & it's hard to get a seat on a busy Saturday or Sunday morning! Luckily if you walk to the back the takeout counter always comes in handy. read more

The other day I did a brunch search online and this spot sounded unique and interesting and had very good reviews so I took my son to check it out. Lola's Eatery is a cozy brunch haven in Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood that's made a name for itself as a go-to destination for brunch enthusiasts seeking affordable fare in a charming and welcoming environment. Since its opening, the eatery has gotten a loyal following of patrons who appreciate its unique blend of flavors, cozy atmosphere, and friendly service. Theirs breakfast and brunch choices, with a full bar, and afternoons and evenings have their own menu if their take on bar foods.  Lola's was established by Zoe Riefkohl, a Pittsburgh native with a passion for creating unique and interesting dining experiences and some dishes with a Filipino/Mexican influence. Named after the Lower Lawrenceville (LOLA) community that played a significant role in Riefkohl's life, which also translates to "Grandmother". The eatery is within Engine House 25, a cool restored firehouse that's been transformed into a hub for local businesses. It exudes a warm and inviting and cozy local ambiance that makes you feel right at home. The space features cozy seating arrangements, eclectic decor that's a charming setting for a leisurely brunch with friends and family. They offer a thoughtfully put together menu that highlights an array of brunch favorites with a creative twist. It includes a variety of breakfast sandwiches, bagels, toasts, and sweet treats, that are fresh and made to order. Some standout options and favorites: * The Basic B****: Lola's scrambled eggs, American cheese, and sriracha aoili, served on your choice of a plain or everything bagel, or a Calabrian chili pepper English muffin. * Avocado Toast: A flavorful combination of avocado, pickled red onions, and feta cheese atop toasted sourdough bread. * Apple Fritter: A mouthwatering treat made with granny smith apples and drizzled with a decadant cider glaze. Note: Fried donuts and other items are fried in the same deep fryer as products that contain soy, shellfish, dairy and gluten. In addition to these popular items, Lola's Eatery also serves a range of other brunch dishes, including eggs benedict, omelettes, and pancakes. I particularly enjoyed their take on Chicken and Waffles, which is Ube mochi waffles, ube butter, Paul Family Farm's maple syrup and  fried chicken (thigh meat) and their Lumpia, which is a Filipino Classic, that contains shrimp and pork, and was my son's favorite.  One puzzling issue was this, I wanted one of their nice looking Everything Bagels with cream cheese. When trying to order it I was told that there was no cream cheese, confused I responded "are you out"? They told me that they count their bagels that are only paired with sandwiches, so rather than attempting to understand that logic I just moved on, maybe you can ask when you try to order one :-) Bottom line: Lola's Eatery, with its unique blend of flavors and charming ambiance, is a lovely local place for brunch or drinks that I would return to. Recommended!  Hours:  Brunch: THURSDAY - FRIDAY: 8 AM - 1 PM SATURDAY - SUNDAY: 9 AM - 2 PM Bar Service: THURSDAY: 4 PM - 9 PM FRIDAY - SATURDAY: 4 AM - 10 PM Visit their website at https://lolaseatery.com for more information, or connect with them on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/lolas.eatery.pgh. Plus you can order online and do catering. read more

I can't believe I finally made it to Lola's. It's so nice that they're open on a Monday and when my friends and I went there was tons of open tables. The food was unreal - I love that this is such a unique breakfast spot that you can get your standard breakfast foods but with a delicious twist. The decor is unbelievably cute and feminine - I just feel like this place is close to perfect and loved it so much. read more

Mixed feelings about this place. It's really cute inside, but small. Since it's so small, I didn't see the reasoning for having the "order from your phone and never get a server" method. That being said, the service was nonexistent and they forgot to bring one of the drinks we ordered. That was the main drawback of the place, and it is a bit pricey for what it is. They have some fun features. We went for brunch, I'd maybe try it again for another occasion. read more

Let's see: 1.) signature item they make a point to pipe up everywhere online about is THURSDAY ONLY. Convenient. 2.) crowded so resourceful humans elect to order for takeout online - THEY AREN'T ACCEPTING ONLINE ORDERS AT THIS TIME. If you want to have a business, try catering it to your CUSTOMER, not whatever you personally want. Joke. read more

Do you like Spam? I do. It's one of the best things ever invented and it goes so well with fried garlic rice! Lola's Watery is one of the few brave places that actually offer a Spam dish on their menu. They serve it with lightly fried rice with a topping of onions and tomatoes, chopped and with 2 very fried eggs. All of this is topped with banana ketchup. My wife had their Lumpiang Shanghai. Tasty yet under-filled. I was not a fan of their sweet and spicy dipping sauce. All in all, the food is good. However, the Filipino references in the menu do not represent the cuisine of the Philippines. I feel that they should drop the Filipino dishes and focus on baking. Lola's baked goods looked really delicious and should be the number 1 focus there. If you are in Pittsburgh, try Lola's out and let me know of your opinion. read more

This was my first time eating at Lola's and overall, really liked it. The food was delicious, albeit a bit small for the prices. I had the Bate Dacon. Lola's is kind of small, so I grabbed an open table when I got there to wait for my friend but then another customer asked me to move because the cashiers told her she could sit there. It wasn't posted that this isn't a seat yourself place, so it was a little strange. I also asked for a little extra oat milk in my cold brew, and the employee kind of rolled her eyes..I'm not sure why. Lastly, I was charged $0.50 for take out but I was dining in. It's only fifty cents so I didn't make a stink but it seemed weird to charge for take out but even odder to charge a dining in customer for take out. I would go back but not sure I'll go out of my way for it. read more

One of my biggest qualms of Pittsburgh is the lack of breakfast sandwiches. I got the hangover cure. It was really good. A tad small but still sufficiently filling. My biggest regret: not getting the home fries. Definitely get those they looked amazing read more

The food is amazing and such a beautiful area. The service is good. They have a self service bar which is pretty nice because you can get water and sauces.

I had been following Lola's on Instagram for a while and had been wanting to try all their yummy looking breakfast and treats. After going to handmade arcade earlier this month my sister and I stopped by for a late breakfast. I built my own breakfast sandwich and add the hash brown to it - it was delicious but kind of hard to eat since it was so big. Last year we also ordered their Easter donuts for our Easter brunch - they were a big hit! They tasted pretty good but honestly their cuteness is what takes the cake. I can't wait go back to Lola's! read more

My husband and I stopped in for breakfast and we were blown away by the hangover cure breakfast sandwich! This was the best breakfast sandwich that both of us had ever had, and we've eaten hundreds of breakfast sandwiches. The eggs were silky and flavorful, the sauce was the perfect amount of heat, the bagel was perfectly chewy and flavorful. For an added bonus add the crispy hash brown to your sandwich you won't be disappointed. Cannot recommend enough! read more

Brunch with a Filipino influence. They utilize an ordering system through Toast that alas you to order on your phone which was pretty cool and efficient. We shared the breakfast egg rolls, the street corn bread, and the ube waffles with fried chicken. All were good choices. Egg rolls were definitely the heartiest and made for a perfect breakfast item. Very filling and crispy. I'd order these in bulk, freeze them, and reheat for an easy breakfast. Corn bread was possibly my favorite item. Served in a small cast iron skillet. Corn bread was soft and spongy on the inside with slight crisp on the outside. Really liked the red rancheros sauce it was served with. Ube waffles were served with ube butter. Great texture on the waffles. Fried chicken was a big boneless piece. Fried to a very crispy. Order came out quick and the self service component made the experience efficient. There were two gender neutral restrooms. The one labeled the powder room was very spacious and my preferred of the two options. Lots of groups lounging around. Very casual atmosphere. read more

Ok folks, this place is an ABSOLUTE MUST try. First of all, the ambiance is so perfect. Walking up to the door, you're greeted by sunshine yellow to give you that happy morning energy. The inside is full of vibrant colors, fun furniture and cute little photo ops. It's a popular place so you might have to wait but there's outdoor seating on tye side of the building so it's worth it in my opinion. Staff was all very friendly and helpful with answering questions about the menu as well as checking on us during our breakfast. We did not try any of the ube items but I will surely be returning to try those because they seem to be their go to item that makes them special. Great experience and delicious food you do not want to miss! read more

Visiting from Rhode Island from the airport my daughter brought us straight to this eatery . So proud for a Filipino root with eclectic vibe . Ube waffles and chicken, yummy taste of a well marinated chicken that was not dry the best crunchiest coating I've ever had. Ube Waffles ... no words is enough to describe the yummy taste so you have to go and taste it . Veggie lumpia was good satisfying piece with perfect spicy vinegar dipping. Vegetable bagel made in house was perfect layers of tasty vegetables . I wish I had room to taste the ube cinnamon because my heart is full as well as my tummy. Chef Max gifted us some yummy to go doughnuts . Thank you for a delightful treat. read more

Busy and lively atmosphere on a Saturday morning at 11AM. We ordered takeout online, and it was ready by the time we arrived. Had to wait in a line of people placing orders at the register so it took about 5-6 minutes to pick up our items. Not sure if there would be an easier way to separate the line of people picking up from the people ordering, but it would improve efficiency. The food that we got was great - I love a good bagel sandwich. I ordered the veggie monster which came on a rosemary bagel that was super fresh with the right amount of chewiness. My husband ordered the hangover cure with bacon on an everything bagel, and he thought his was almost too chewy but otherwise good. Prices are a little on the higher side, but I feel the quality is worth it. read more

My daughter suggested Lola's Eatery because we were looking for Filipino food in the Pittsburgh area. There aren't many choices so Lola's it was. Located next to the Clemente Museum and sharing a parking lot, Lola's has a very hip feel to it. Seating is limited but no one seemed to mind and we ended up sitting outside on one of the bench tables. Reading reviews, I decided to go for The Hangover on an Everything bagel with bacon, dippy egg, American cheese, sriracha aioli and pickled red onion. From the first bite to the last, I was impressed how the flavors complimented each other and the CRUNCH from the bagel. Loved it! We also tried the Breakfast Eggrolls. Egg, cheese, chorizo, and onion. So I absolutely love egg rolls and this combo takes it to the next level. Unexpected mouth joy! 2 for 2 so far! Next was the Turon. No idea what they were but these pint sized looking egg rolls were packed with banana and other flavors that just worked. 3 for 3! I didn't try the Lumpia because I'm allergic to shrimp but my daughter and grandson inhaled them so I'm guessing they didn't suck lol. I had a few of the Home fries and again, just impressed with the crispness and seasoning. 4 for 4! All in all we were all impressed with the flavors. The portions are slightly smaller but honestly it was just enough. I would much rather have smaller portions that you enjoy and savor than huge portions that are just so so. I would highly recommend stopping by and sample the menu. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more
