| - This place is more about being Instagram-worthy and less about actual quality.
I really wanted to like this place. Don't get me wrong, it's an adorable set-up with super cute decor, but if I end up spending $63 on what's essentially toast and bougie tea, I expect more from the supplier. I have no problem dropping cash on something that I deem is worth the price tag, but there is no way I could justify paying as much as I did for the product that was turned out to me at Cafe Lola.
My friend and I each ordered the Vanilla Rose Latte, which is supposedly a signature drink of theirs. It tasted like water with a very faint essence of rose. Definitely not worth the equivalent of the $12.96 we paid for each drink. I also ordered the Butter Me Up toast, which is basically a single piece of toast with almond butter and some fruit on top. If I'm spending $10.18 on a piece of TOAST, I expect more from what was served to me - maybe thick, artisanal bread that was baked that morning with some kind of garnish on the side. Not something I could've made at home for half the price.
My friend got the Let's Avocuddle toast, which looked a little more hearty, but still didn't warrant paying $10.56. She also got a salad - that was probably the only thing ordered that we felt the price matched the product.
For 5 items, the total was $63, and I felt like I flushed my money down the toilet when I paid for it. So absolutely not worth it at all. Again, I have no problem paying that amount if the product that was turned out matched in quality, and this was far from it. Basically, if all you care about is Insta-worthy food and drinks, this is your place. I'd personally suggest saving your money for a place that turns out a more quality product for your dollar.
