Kovan’s beloved brunch spot Lola’s Cafe is back with a new look and menu
Singapore’s F&B scene is ever-changing, and we constantly hear of new cafes opening — and old ones shutting their doors.
While we love checking out the shiniest new openings, evergreen stalwarts such as Lola’s Cafe will always have a place in our hearts.
Opened in 2013, the popular Simon Road brunch spot is now in its 10th year of operation.
One of the most recognisable names in the scene, Lola’s expanded to a second outlet at Holland Village in July 2022.
To mark its 10 years at Kovan, Lola’s Cafe temporarily shuttered its iconic flagship outlet in late January for a makeover.
At the time, it said it hoped to refurbish its space at Kovan to “better the Lola’s experience” and to continue being diners’ favourite get-away in the city.
After two months, the cafe finally reopened on April 5 with a chic new look!

Its loyal customers are in for a treat — the rustic little hideout has transformed into a cosy and modern space that’s oozing sophistication.
Sporting red tiles and soothing neutral tones, it now has a sleek look that’s comparable to the Holland Village outlet.
The revamp isn’t merely superficial: Fans can look forward to a new menu at the Kovan outlet, though many of the time-tested classics are still available.
So don’t worry, you’ll still be able to enjoy its glorious crab cake benedict (S$20) and pulled pork and avocado eggs benedict (S$16).
New items include the pandan coconut waffles (S$14) soaked in fragrant gula melaka, which will please those with a sweet tooth.
Matcha aficionados can check out the uji matcha latte (S$6.50/S$7) topped with a scoop of matcha ice cream and whipped cream (+S$4) for a dose of earthy goodness.
A selection of popular items from its Holland Village outlet will also be offered here, such as the luscious spicy tomato crab rigatoni (S$20) and umami-loaded tsukune sando (chicken meatballs sando, S$17).
