Café Lola

We traveled well out of our way to visit based on the social media buzz about the cafe. GF donuts were side by side with gluten items, bread was in a shared toaster and the cashier seemed less than knowledgeable. We ate minimal food and left very disappointed. Would not recommend for Celiac customers.

My teenage daughter really wanted to go to this place while we were in Vegas. It has a great atmosphere and really fun drinks - they even have a machine where they can "print" a picture on top of a latte. They are a sister company with Saint Honore Bakery, which is not dedicated GF, but has gluten-free/vegan donuts on their menu. Cafe Lola serves the Saint Honore confetti and oreo GF/vegan donuts. I called Saint Honore and asked about their practices (donuts are prepared, decorated and stored separately). At Cafe Lola they had them displayed next to gluten items, but told me they could bring me one from the back, where they are kept in separate packages from the gluten items. They were also really accommodating with our other dietary requests (almond & oat milk in our drinks, etc.). Overall I was able to eat safely, but all I got was an almond milk latte and an oreo donut (from the back, they were out of confetti). Everything else on the menu was prepared in a shared area and I didn't think it could be made safely. For those who are not sensitive to cross contamination, they do offer gluten-free toast and were really willing to accommodate. I would definitely go back.
