Lola’s Collective is a values-driven hospitality group rooted in connection, community, and care. Founded by friends with a shared vision for meaningful work, we bring people together through food—and the experiences it creates. 

What began as a neighborhood cafe in Dundee has grown into much more. Today our collective includes two cafes: Lola’s in Dundee and Fig. on the Omaha Riverfront as well as our Events & Catering outfit and our Sourdough Bakery. 

Lola’s Bakery is the heart of all we do as a Collective. A testament to our values for quality sourcing, from-scratch production, and honest simplicity.
