Such a cute place with amazing food! Amazing service!! Would definitely come again!!!! Highly recommend!!

Friends ordered delivery for me as a surprise and the food was so good! Can't imagine how much better it'd be if I had it straight away. Eggs were super fluffy and latte was just sweet enough but not overwhelming! The spicy tuna had a kick to it and the soufflé cheesecake was soft and creamy.

As someone who lives in Palisades Park I have frequented every coffee shop in town. Cafe Lala is one of my favorites because their coffee tastes SO FRESH. I was chatting with the owner and she says they carefully monitor their beans for freshness and use local milk sourced from upstate NY (battenkill farms). Did some more digging and apparently that milk is sourced to select restaurants (like Per Se and Marea-- Michelin hello?) and not sold in stores. Overall I can tell they really care about quality!

Really cute cafe that's kind of a hidden gem! The decor is so cute and there's some spots to take cute pictures. Even the silverware is cute and matches the vibe. I appreciate the thought that went into the decor. I came for brunch on a Saturday. Just be warned their kitchen closes at 12:45pm and after that it's just premade baked goods, kimbap, and drinks. Not sure if that's everyday or just Saturday. I got the Egg Drop Brioche with sliced ham added. I'm glad I added the ham for that salty/meaty flavor but +$3 is a bit steep for just 2 thin slices. The scrambled eggs were very fluffy and not overcooked. The top bun is covered with condensed milk so it will make your hands all sticky- I recommend eating this with a fork and knife even though it's meant to be a sandwich. I also got the strawberry milk, which has real fresh strawberries in it. It costs over $5 but it comes in a little bottle that you can take home and reuse. I thought it was good but maybe not over $5 good... Seems like I could make it myself at home. Overall, cute spot to study or go on a date or just enjoy some brunch (if you get there in time)!

Stopped by at Cafe LaLa on a Sunday and it was not too busy. They had a good variety of drinks and pastries. We ordered the strawberry ade and a cafe latte. We also tried the sweet potato madeleine and the owner was kind enough to gift us a chocolate cookie which was delicious. Everyone working was super nice. The vibe is very nice and nicely decorated as well. Totally recommend stopping by! I will definitely be returning to try the blue eggs and the other drinks.

Stopped by here one day just to get something to drink. I ended up getting the strawberry milk, which was so refreshing! I really enjoyed the bits of strawberries that were inside. I would definitely come back for this! Inside was very clean and elegant. I think it would be a good place to bring your laptop and do some work. They do have a parking lot as well.

Spicy tuna kimbap: the lady warned me and said it's spicy. It really is and it's sooooo good! I def will get more of this l Blue eggs: not worth it Einspanner: espresso- topped with house made whipped cream. It was good. I love drinking this hot cus the cold whipped cream and hot coffee :) Rose cake: it's not rose cake. It's like a cream bread shaped like a bread so they can charge you way more than a $3-5 cream bread. Also no rose taste. It's more a strawberry cream bread l. The cake is not cake it's like soft bread Purple sweet potato madeleine: good and has the sweet purple potato I would go and try something else and def get the spicy tuna kimbap Parking nearby and right in front

We found this lovely place when we were looking for a brunch spot. They opened not too long ago. The inside is much bigger than it looked from the outside. Their menu is mainly breakfast/brunch items, which makes sense for a cafe. The menu is quite small, which is not always a bad thing. We ordered Espresso Einspänner, and Mocha Einspänner. These were delicious and delightful. The whipped cream was nice and velvety, not overly sweet, and went great with the coffee. Definitely will have this again. For food, we ordered LALA Toast, and LALA Breakfast. They come with regular coffee, but since we ordered the Einspänner, she gave us a small discount on the order. How thoughtful! The funny thing about LALA Toast is that it didn't come on a "toast," but it came on toasted buns. It had a mountain of cabbage slaw that had a slight kick to it, which I really enjoyed. The egg was overcooked in my opinion, a bit dry... Other than that, it was an interesting and unique breakfast sandwich. For LALA Breakfast, we got the eggs to be over-easy, and they came out perfect. The sausage was big and juicy, salad was fresh, and mushroom was nice too. Basically, everything on this plate was delicious! It was very filling too, great for a hungry customer. We also ordered cute little Madeleines: Red Bean and Sweet Potato. They were both very good, perfect little desserts that are elegantly sweet and very satisfying to you taste buds. At the end, we got to try Strawberry Milk thanks to generous manager/owner! It had loads of strawberry bits in there. It was soooo good! Had such amazing strawberry flavor, and made with just the right amount of sweetness. I can see that reason why this drink is so popular. Our first visit was a total success! The manager/owner was so kind and courteous. The food and drinks were all very high quality and delicious. We will definitely go back and try more of their menu in a near future.
