Really cute spot with fresh sandwiches. Think of sandwiches you would make at home with really great ingredients. One thing to consider is that there is no inside seating and only two small tables outside. We ended up grabbing our brown bags from here and walking over to the mission to eat at their picnic tables. The service was quick- they were a little pricey but worth it for the ingredients in my opinion. Great stop on the way to the coast.

Stopped by for the first time the other day. I was not disappointed!! The sandwich was robust and simply full of great flavors. The service was very personable and relaxed. The shop sits downtown SJB, the perfect ambiance for a quaint shop like Lola's! Thank you for establishing such a great sandwich shop I definitely will be returning! I highly recommend you slide by here to enjoy what Lola's has to offer.

This was a pleasant surprise, you wouldn't guess how great it was from the outside/dated sign! Window view was gorgeous. My fiancé won't stop boasting about the crab cakes- and he's not even that crazy about seafood! We both loved the coconut shrimp. Our friend said the seafood/lobster nachos were great. Sat at the bar top and thought the service was seamless... yummy cocktails, too!

Today I had lunch at Lolla's for the first time. I ordered the Reuben and tomato basil soup. The Reuben was large and good, the soup was delicious. Because the sandwich was so large I ended up eating only half. The next time I'll order the half sandwich with soup. It was nice eating outside Lolla's in San Juan Bautista today!

we stopped for sandwiches on our way home to San Francisco. The bread was fresh, the filling generous and the service prompt. The owner is a local woman, and she mixes "heart" with the special dressing for the cheese melt. My husband had the Reuben, and it was full of meat. Price was right, outdoor dining cozy, and the place only a stone's throw from one of the most historic missions in California. Worth a stop and easy to find and park.

What a great sandwich and friendly people. Loved sitting outside on a sunny day, enjoying SJB while eating good food. We'll stop here again when passing through.

It never fails, I find a place I love but they are 30 minutes away! I live in San Martin but Lolla's is worth the drive. I currently can only eat pureed food due to a surgery and the soups at Lolla's are amazing!! Bring back the carrot ginger soup!! So tasty and I love that there are soups with NO CREAM. I am lactose intolerant and finding good soup without cream can be a challenge. My husband and daughter have tried a few of the sandwiches and love them. The 3-pack of chocolate chip cookies had my family in cookie heaven. Great sandwich shop and friendly employees!

High quality sandwiches! Not a sit down restaurant, though they do have a small table outside. My husband and I tried the Kimchi Reuben and Mission Melt and loved both!! Never had a kimchi Reuben before, and now I want all my Reuben's to have kimchi in them!

Great sandwiches on our stop at San Juan Bautista. Always worth it when traveling here or through here. The Reuben with kimchi, BLT, and grilled cheese all were enjoyed
