Lola's European Cafe

Gelato in the cocktails, Lake Como on Broadway
Lola's opened on Broadway in Midtown in September 2025 doing an unapologetic Italian lakeside act, vintage cars parked out front included. The gelato is made in house and then folded into the cocktails at the wraparound bar.
Panini, salads and cheese boards fill out a menu that is more café than restaurant. It works best mid-afternoon, when the Broadway traffic is someone else's problem.

From the first step inside the door you are transported into a European cafe. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful and immerses you in the environment. The chocolate croissant was delicious and I really enjoyed the special coffee which was a peach latte. I don’t even like coffee very much but I really enjoyed the drink. They also have a bar and gelato which I will definitely try next time I am back!

Lola's exceeded my expectations with a charming themed interior that was classic and relaxing. Plenty of seating at tables or the bar for lunch. The staff was always on top of servicing our group by topping off the drinks and always had a smile. The food was very tasty and fresh, and the sauces were full of complimentary flavor to the panini's we ate. They had a Gelato counter and a pro level coffee maker which produced a pretty good cappuccino. Definitely can recommend Lola's.

I love this place. Everything on the menu is delicious and everyone who works here is always very kind. I probably come here 2-3x per week.

Whatever you are looking for - Lola’s has it. Unbelievably friendly and helpful staff, beautiful atmosphere, strong coffee, refreshing cocktails, plenty of delicious food options, and why not throw in gelato! I worked directly with the team at Lola’s for a large reservation for my friends to come have drinks before my wedding. They graciously accommodating us and everyone had a wonderful time- it was the perfect add to the day. We stayed at the Conrad and I went to Lola’s multiple times a day for coffee, lunch, and drinks! If you are hungry, thirsty, or just want to sit in a beautiful cafe- go to Lola’s! Thanks so much to the team for being part of our big day!
