I apologize for the lack of pictures. The cafe was super busy and overwhelming! We walked in and it was lunch rush - almost standing room only! We were lucky and got a table right away. You order at the counter then they bring the food to you. While it took a little while for the food to come out I can't hold it against them. They were so busy I was surprised they kept it together. When our food came we were delighted! I had the chicken bruschetta panini which was out of this world. My lunch date had a street corn steak wrap which she loved. The portions were great! The fries were crispy and delicious. The place is CLEAN and vibrant. They are doing it right! My only complaint was my panini wasn't very hot - I suspect they made it and were waiting on the wrap and it sat a few minutes, but it certainly isn't enough for me to take a star. I will 100% be back. PS - the staff were EXTREMELY friendly. Thank you LOLA'S for an exceptional lunch!

Good food. Easy takeout from work. Fries are always great, sandwiches can get soggy after 5-10 minutes.

Lola's Cafe on Washington Street in Poughkeepsie is located close to the Metro North train station. That made it a convenient place to grab a quick bite as I was dropping my daughter off to catch the train. It's small, clean and friendly. The staff and the customers tend to be young. Marist College is nearby. I picked a Baja Chicken wrap. A side dish came with the order so I picked a black bean and corn salad. It was a nice meal that came relatively quickly. The food was good but not extraordinary in anyway. The seating was comfortable but the tables are too close together. I would have preferred to have not overheard the conversations of the college students to my right or the mother and son to my left discussing more serious matters. But we were seated so close together that it felt as though we were sharing tables. I get the fact that the staffers are doing their best with a small space.

The food here was good. Everyone enjoyed what they had. My husband had the brisket grilled cheese and he really enjoyed it. Love the vibe in here and a good selection of drinks in the fridges at the back. We came on a busy lunchtime and all the seats were taken. We Were told by a member of the wait staff that they would seat us when seats became available and we tucked ourselves out of the way but then another groups of 4 came in and asked another member of staff and sat down before us. Just a word of caution as I feel like it should have been a seat yourself situation and then we would have been on the look out. Otherwise really enjoyed.

Ok - when you come through the door get ready for a unique experience. It's busy, crowded. You order yourself and then you hunt for a table or counter seat. In general, seats open up when your food is ready. Ok - enough about the place - the food is great. Unique menu items along side diner standards. All fresh and flavorful. Wraps, Asian salads, grain bowls, etc. Family run and it shows it.

Always a favorite lunch spot, Poughkeepsie or New Paltz. Fresh clean easy meals and always delicious and portioned Fun polite and friendly team. Eddie is great for the community with the give back.

Lola's food is out of this world good. I have eaten here several times and never had a bad meal. I was just in a few days ago and had the salmon wrap, chili, fries, peanut noodles, and piggy mac. Everything was wonderful. They also have a nice selection of baked goods for dessert. The atmosphere is very casual and the staff are super friendly and accommodating. Food comes out very fast. They do a lot of takeout, but they also have a small dining area inside and outside. Very impressed with this place and looking forward to my next time here.

TLDR: I got delivery and ordered some items that weren't quite my style, but this place has a good looking menu with other items I would gladly try, and you shouldn't hesitate to try this place too. Onto the details: My meal here was more of a three star meal, but I am upgrading to four in good faith. For one, my order was DoorDash. My food and experience may have been totally different if I had dined in house. Many people exclaim the food is fresh and the service is great! I ordered the BLAT, a grilled sandwich with bacon, baby greens, avocado, tomato, and chipotle mayo on toasted whole wheat. My sandwich was a little over-toasted for my taste, and I wonder if they used butter or maybe that's where the mayo comes in? Because it was a little oily in my opinion. The bread overpowered the ingredients. I also feel the sandwich could have used some seasoning with some pepper or other spices. That's just my opinion! Really! There wasn't anything egregiously wrong with this sammie, I just have preferences for lightly toasted bread without the use of butter or mayo for the toast. I had the red fox wrap as well, made with crispy chicken tenders, melted cheddar cheese, bacon, Cole slaw, romaine lettuce, and BBQ sauce. This was a pretty good tasting wrap with a lot of great texture, but the BBQ sauce was a little sweet for me (again, my preference, it's a me thing, not a them thing). The fries that came with each dish were a pretty small portion, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing. The sandwich/wrap were pretty filling, so it might be just the right amount. I got the spicy peanut noodles and pesto pasta salad. I think most people would be a fan of these, but for me they were a little heavy on the vinegar or sauce and light on seasoning. They reminded me of something you might have at a family potluck. Would probably be a family gathering or office lunch crowd-pleaser, again, but again not my thing. Aside from always giving businesses the benefit of the doubt, this place has a pretty good-looking menu--maybe I just didn't pick the best things for my particular palate. They have all kinds of wraps--baja chicken, street corn steak, turkey club, autumn chicken. Sandwiches--short rib grilled cheese, hot chicken, burgers. Pitas and paninis--grilled ahi tuna, chipotle turkey, chicken bruschetta, tomato mozzarella, turkey brie. They also have bowls, soup, gluten free dishes, various sides and salads. Will try again.

Lovely place to grab good food at a decent price. Service was great. Staff helped us decide what to eat and everything was just delicious. Ambiance was cozy and perfect for quick weekday lunch

This place is awesome! The food is good, the ingredients are fresh and well-made, and the staff is very friendly. The ambience is festive and relaxed. A lot of people coming off the walkway choose to eat here. The one downside is the lack of parking. You can find street parking usually, but it does get busy. We ordered three bowls, and everything was delicious. There were no errors in our dishes and we loved it. I would highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back.
