Mike Reviewed It!
After a late winter hike at Minnewaska, bae and I were craving something healthy for dinner. We searched Google Maps for salads in the area and found this spot. We parked in the lot just behind the restaurant and went in to place our take out order. I went with the SouthWest Cobb Salad . After a little bit of a wait, we stood at the bar area. It came out fresh, warm (chicken) and a huge portion. Very large strips of chicken, nice amount of egg and bacon. It was tasty and In all I was very pleased.
The restaurant was busy for a Saturday evening. I noticed it is decorated with cool stickers of the shop name and a cute American bulldog. I suspected that is their mascot, though the dog was not present in the restaurant. When asked, they gave us a handful of stickers.
Baes grilled chicken Caesar salad was really good. Bae finished the entire thing in no time. Must have been good.

Stopped by for some grub after a refreshing winter hike at lake minnewaska. This was one of the only places I. New Paltz opened until 8pm. We ordered to go. Nice parking lot and entry way. I was saying I bet it’s nice to eat outside here in the summer. So we went inside and ordered. The guy at the register was very nice and attentive! It seemed like a very popular spot. Almost every seat was taken. I had to use el bano and very clean. Didn’t get to do any chalk wall art though. Next time! Bae got the Cobb salad and I went out of my comfort zone and got the Waldorf chicken salad. I got mine with Cesar dressing. It was so delicious I didn’t leave a crumb. Very fresh too and we opted for salads as the healthy meal. And we had water to wash it down. I would definitely come back here since new paltz has a special place in our hearts. Thank you for a great meal!

Lola’s cafe main st New paltz ny. This cafe is self serve place your order and pay and select your table. The chili was very bland,needs more spices and also shredded cheese and sour cream would be nice if offered. Burgers was very bland,what happened to cooking with simple ingredients as salt and pepper goes a long way,vanilla milkshake was good but for the price$14 you get such a small portion compared to most restaurant. If you expect people to self serve you should reflect the price to be more competitive cheaper instead of raising the price. This cafe was a miss.spices go a long way instead of offering bland food. Extremely disappointed.

Had the salad at Lola Café and it was absolutely excellent. The ingredients were fresh and beautifully balanced — the roasted Brussels sprouts were perfectly caramelized, the bacon added great flavor, and the mix of cranberries, walnuts, and cheese made every bite delicious. The grilled chicken was tender and cooked just right. You can really taste the quality.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a hearty, satisfying salad!

Went with my girlfriend to this spot back in August. We’ve never been to New Paltz before and it was truly an enjoyment to be here. That grilled chicken Caesar salad wrap I had was one of the best wraps I’ve had in awhile and my girlfriend really enjoyed her medium rare burger. We honestly really miss this place and hope to visit again soon. I called this place the other day just to let them know that they make such great food, that’s how great they are. It’s very friendly, clean and the prices are great too. Overall 1000/10 experience. Please don’t close this store!! Hoping it keeps on thriving.

I got the Baja chicken wrap with peanut noodles. The wrap was fresh and flavorful, the food came out within less than two minutes of placing my order. The atmosphere in here is amazing and the employees are lovely. We will be coming back! (The chicken fritters are SO GOOD)

I enjoyed it here! The food is GREAT— and my favorite in town. I would most definitely drive to eat here… thankfully, I am local/driving distance as of right now.

Feedback would be more so for the staff. When spending time with family, it’s unsettling when someone hovers back and forth checking your table (when it’s not a service-based restaurant)— it’s an order to go or sit down.

Also, first impression is everything and a welcoming presence would be great too especially with the quality of food that is served here— it *would be* one of my top restaurants (hands down)— if the culture and energy was more welcoming. Yet, culture/service is everything.

Either way, it is a must try, y’all! Enjoy 🙂 and blessings to you. (PS— of course I’ll be back because we all have our days and it was my first time here)

Updating as of April 8th, 2025: Second time around and my review still stands the same. Great food and room for improvement on the culture and energy.

I love Lola’s, and come here at least once a week. I usually order the burger special, as it is inventive and delicious The servers are very friendly and my food always arrives promptly. And half the year I enjoy sitting out on the deck and people watch!

Have met a friend here a couple of times for lunch. Tends to be really busy. There is outdoor seating on a patio with both tables and high top seating at a counter. Inside is conventional tables. Ordering and paying is done at the front counter, and if you give them your table number they will bring your food to you.

Inside can get REALLY loud and difficult to have a conversation.

We both had the black bean burger which was GREAT. Very substantial burger, and garnished with all kinds of stuff….pickle, greens, tomato I think…..great lunch. You have a choice of sides, and the peanut noodles are HIGHLY recommended. Thick udon noodles with a great peanut sauce, not heavily soy sauce laden like Chinese restaurants.

They sell hand made shakes, some of the specialty shakes are $14. Regular ones are $7. They have bottled Harney and Sons iced tea. Local and the best. Try the peach.
