If you are in need of a coffee fix, Lola is the place to be.
Lola is not only an espressobar, but also a bicycle workshop.
Quality, purity, honesty, passion and fun: these qualifications reflect both the bikes and the coffee.
If you are in need of a coffee fix, Lola is the place to be. Lola is not only an espressobar, but also a bicycle workshop. Quality, purity, honesty, passion and fun: these qualifications reflect both the bikes and the coffee.
Fat tours
Every Sunday Lola organizes the Fatbike Experience. A bike ride on a bicycle with very thick tyres through woods, dunes and on the beach. According to owner Arthur Wieffering the bike tours give you a sense of absolute freedom because:“where others must dismount, we carry on cycling”.
Apart from the regular Sunday tours, Lola also arranges spontaneous trips via Facebook. On the 11th of January 2015 you can join the Lola bikers on a Track day in Amsterdam. Just you, your bike and a real deal Lola track. Check the website for more tracks and events.
Drink coffee & buy a bicycle
In the workshop you can either have your bike repaired or do it yourself. Of course you can also buy a new fat bike, an oldie or a road bike, while enjoying a perfect cup of coffee!
Arthur Wieffering and Reinier Hamel opened their business in 2012. With their six baristas and roaster Bocca, they are always on the look-out for the best beans, the best roasting method and the right preparation.
"Our baristas pour their own favourites next to the regular in-house coffee. So you can always enjoy different flavours. "
Besides bikes and coffee, Lola sells pies, bags, clothing, ChocoLola, cycling books, magazines, shoes, bike parts and accessories. You can purchase everything online as well: just go to their webshop. But, if it’s freshly made coffee you’re after, Lola is still the place to be.
