Lola's Kitchen now pops up on my internal message board when someone asks me: Do you know any great places to have brunch? Yes!
What's not to love?
Great food:
-Their menu offers fresh and multi-faceted brunch fare that is both simple and creative. There are a dozen possibilities with vegetarian and healthy options so you don't need to envision your arteries clogging. I ordered the frittata with a side salad and sampled my bud's eggs benny on whole wheat organic biscuits. The frittata came perfectly firm with lots of veggies and mushrooms inside, with a hearty sprinkling of warm goat cheese and garnish greens. The eggs benny were warm and firmly poached, resting on delicious brown biscuits.
I love me some Cora's but I will take Lola's over them any day when it comes to options for my eggs. But that's not all that makes this place great...
Great service:
-We had a big group of ten and they accommodated our size and multiple orders with ease. Our server was attentive and not only friendly but humourous.
Great ambiance and interior art
-It's located in an old house with fifteen foot ceilings and gorgeously large windows, perfect for letting in the brunchey-morning light. Unpretentious but artsy, there is real art for sale on the walls and colourful murals in the main rooms and in the washrooms upstairs. Right now the art is nicely modern bold colour silhouette images (via silkscreen, I'd wager)
Great location:
-Close to Bloor subway and a pleasant 15 minute walk from Wellesly through the Village.
Definitely one of my fave brunch places right now.
