| - I'm writing this review as I sit in Lola, sipping on a cappuccino, so you know they have free WIFI. This review isn't about the WIFI. You also know they have coffee, since "Coffee" is in their name, and it's a café. This review isn't about that either.
This is about the quiche.
Actually, it's about all the pastries, since they're all made by the same unfathomably talented pastry chef, but it's the quiche that, every time I have it, makes me wonder, "If this is quiche, what's that stuff I ate every other time I ordered quiche?" It's light. Just ... just so, so light, and fluffy. The crust is crispy and light and buttery. And it costs far less than inferior quiche at other places (about $4, I think).
But the five stars I gave it aren't just for the quiche, or the rest of the amazing pastries. This place just does everything right: the location is in a beautiful, historic location; they have a terrific selection of loose-leaf tea; the atmosphere is cool, with worn concrete floors, a high ceiling, and vintage furniture; the staff is friendly, and acts like a family; and a vintage Bang & Olufsen stereo playing music that is far too cool for me to identify it. Oh, and the coffee is great.
