| - Twas my birthday and on the strength of some recommendations of not touristy trap places to dine, we decided to check out Lola's. It was raining, it was pride, it was jazz fest, but right in the center of it all was Lola's with a great staff full of pride and ready to please.
Decor-located in what looks like it used to be an old house, Lola's occupies the first floor. The decor was standard, hard wood floors, tables, and some pretty unique art on the wall.
Staff- super friendly, very energetic, and fun. A touch slow on the coffee refills, but that's being nitpicky.
Food: Lord have mercy that breakfast sandwich was good. Following in what seems to be quite the trend in Toronto, the burger was hand formed, which I love. The imperfection of the shape without being mashed and rounded into a perfect circle gives you a bit of the at home feeling and I can't explain why it tastes better but it just does. The sandwich came with fries or home fries, I opted for the latter. Perfect. A little crisp on the outside, but still plenty of great potato texture on the inside. I don't know what combination of sauces was on that bun, but that along with the perfect sunny side egg....well it was delicious albeit a little messy. The bottom bun got soaked and soggy, but fabulous nevertheless.
