Lola's cafe with my Lola's date (:
Before I heard of Lola's Cafe, I will always travel to places like town area for a good weekend brunch with my boyfriend. Thank you for spending your one and only weekend with me. I'm a super fan of having good brunches during weekend. Now, with Lola's Cafe situated within walking distance from my house, I can no longer complain about not having a decent brunch venue nearby! It is only about 3-5 minutes walk from Kovan MRT Station, take the exit towards Simon Road and you'll see the cafe on your left after you walked pass Kovan Residences (condominium).;
We would expect a huge crowd on Saturday morning but this time, the waiting time is only 15 minutes and I got myself a seat for two pax. They have a queuing system whereby a diner enters his contact mobile into an ipad and system will give you a call when your table is ready so that you do not need to stand outside the cafe battling with the hot weather.
They serve breakfast menu from 11 to 3pm and dinner from 6 to 9pm. Note that they only serve starter dish and finger food between 3 to 6pm. All prices on menu are nett with no GST and service charge.
It’s a nice cosy cafe, with very simple tables and chairs. There are sofas near the entrance too but it’s usually occupied.
Iced Strawberry Green Tea ($4.50)
This, on the other hand, was lighter and more refreshing. The strawberry flavor was distinct and not too sweet. This would be perfect as a thirst-quencher on a sweltering afternoon!
We ordered the Nacho Cheese Fries ($8) to share because everyone who had it was raving about how good it is. I would say it's really not bad and the portion was huge. Generous amount of cheese and a little bit of spice. Good for a starter!
Scrambled Egg Croissant ($13)
It comes with scrambled eggs, ham, bacon and cheese. I ordered this because I remembered how I loved their scrambled eggs which are moist and creamy! The croissant is soft and fluffy, and the cheese doesn't taste strong too (probably covered by the saltiness of the bacon and ham), suiting my taste perfectly
Lola's Full Monty Breakfast ($15)
Meat lovers rejoice! This breakfast platter is your brunch time energy source with its many varieties. Definitely makes a hearty meal to start off your day and comes served with Brioche Bread, Pork Sausages, Pork Ham, Honey Bacons, Scrambled Egg, Garden Salad and Balsamic Dressing.
Lola’s cafe is definitely one of the cafes in Singapore that you must try. Great prices, great ambience, great food. Of course, don’t let my review about the service aspect hinder you from checking Lola’s out, that was probably just my experience. Do make sure you clear your schedule if you do head to Lola’s, in case you have to wait for an hour for a table. I would definitely go back to try their dinner menu.
