Featured in The Seattle Times

Posted on June 25, 2025

Our recent popup got some love in The Seattle Times!

"Each one a symphony of measured flavors... I will be thinking about that Walla Walla onion dish — with slivered snap peas, mint, farmers cheese and chili crunch — for a long time after pea season is over."

Jackie Varriano, The Seattle Times
Artisanal strawberry and corn cake with fresh mascarpone cream, featured in The Seattle Times review of Cafe Lolo's innovative seasonal desserts

We're thrilled to have been featured alongside other innovative Seattle pop-ups! This review highlights our commitment to seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients and the unique flavor combinations we create with Washington's incredible produce.

The Walla Walla onion dish mentioned in the review perfectly captures our philosophy of celebrating local farms and creating memorable dining experiences. We're grateful to Jackie Varriano and The Seattle Times for recognizing our work!
