About us

Thank you so much for stumbling onto this page.

- Lola's owners Max & Zoë Blume

 “LOLA” stands for Lower Lawrenceville, a community that has played a big role in Zoë’s life, “LOLA” also translates to “Grandmother” in the Filipino language. Max’s Filipino and Mexican background brings a unique inspiration to their dishes while the baked delights are fashioned from Zoë’s imagination and nonpareil pastry skill.

In December of 2019, Max and Zoë Blume opened Lola's intending to offer Lawerencevile a brunch spot that offered dishes that not only included Filipino/Mexican influenced dishes but also fresh-baked bagels, customized cakes, delicious donuts, and so many more. Having opened only two months before the pandemic (Covid-19) hit, the married duo had to pivot their plans and make necessary changes to survive the Lockdown. 

A few years later we finally feel we are in the green phase. A bar, an espresso machine, and a few cake mirrors later we are looking forward to providing a unique brunch experience.

Thanks for stopping by.
