Lola's Celebrates Five Delicious Years of Success in Historic Dundee!

October marks a special milestone for Lola's – they’re celebrating a milestone birthday! Since opening their doors on October 10, 2019, Lola's has been a cornerstone of the Dundee community, providing locals with memorable dining experiences that center around the powerful connection food creates.

Owners embarked on this journey with a mix of enthusiasm and naivete, setting out to create a restaurant that mirrors the vibrant food culture of New York City. Their vision was simple yet ambitious: a space where people could enjoy great food, espresso, and wine at any time of the day. Today, Lola's stands out for its unique location within a movie theater lobby and its commitment to exceptional quality. The restaurant offers a diverse array of services, from a bustling espresso bar and lunch counter during the day to a refined dining experience for dinner and brunch services. It's no surprise that Lola's sets itself apart by making everything from scratch, using whole ingredients, and even baking their sourdough bread daily.

In just five years, Lola's has built a strong reputation and a devoted customer base, and they take immense pride in having achieved a healthy work-life balance for their team. While the restaurant industry can be notoriously challenging, especially in the face of obstacles like the pandemic, Lola's innovative pivot to made-to-order dishes during  the curbside era and the introduction of brunch has helped establish a loyal daytime crowd.

Community is at the heart of Lola's ethos, and the owners cherish the relationships they've cultivated with their patrons. They are grateful for the overwhelming support from the Dundee neighborhood, where they’ve become a beloved destination for dining. The excitement doesn’t stop here! Lola's always has something on the horizon to engage their community, like the recent addition of the Lola's Wine Club and forthcoming newsletter revision.

As Lola's celebrates this significant anniversary, they want to remind everyone that they not only serve delightful lunches but also offer a unique candlelit dinner experience that many have yet to discover. If you haven’t already, visit Lola's to indulge in one of their celebrated dishes—like the Sweet Potato Macha paired with a refreshing Slovenian white wine—and raise a glass to five fantastic years! 

Here’s to many more years of culinary adventures and unforgettable moments at Lola's!
