Pink, Instagrammable and filled with sugary churro creations, Lola’s Handcrafted Churros in Lisle is one of the most popular dessert shops in town.
Lola’s is known for its “churro loops” served over a cup of rich and creamy soft serve. Fresh churros are covered with toppings from the traditional cinnamon and sugar to sprinkles, Oreos and even Fruity Pebbles. The decadent treats are then looped over a cup of your choice of vanilla, swirl or seasonal soft serve and loaded with even more yummy goodness.

This perfect combination of hot and crunchy churros with cool and creamy soft serve is hard to beat, but if you’d prefer a classic combination, you can find plain churros on the menu, too. Pair them with a dip like chocolate sauce, or enjoy the sweet treat with a craft coffee like a mocha, white mocha or marzipan latte.
Menu highlights for kids
Lola’s menu offers six churro and soft serve creations, plus plenty of toppings, dips and drink pairings for customizing your perfect churro dessert. These are just a few of the menu items that are perfect for treating your kids.
S’mores
Nothing complements the rich flavors of a churro like toasted marshmallows and chocolate. Enjoy a massive churro looped over your choice of vanilla, swirl or seasonal soft serve.
Birthday Sundae
Why settle for birthday cake when you could blow out a birthday candle on a churro sundae? The birthday sundae churro is covered in pink sprinkles and pink chocolate, then served with your choice of vanilla, swirl or seasonal soft serve.
Cookies & Cream
You’ve probably had this classic combination in chocolate, ice cream, cookie and every other dessert form you can think of, but you probably haven’t tried a cookies & cream churro! We’d enjoy this Oreo churro with a chocolate-and-vanilla swirl, but you can try it with vanilla or a seasonal flavor, too.
Biscoff Cookie Crunch
This churro packs a serious cookie crunch! Covered in Biscoff cookie butter and cookie crumbles, this treat would pair perfectly with a cup of vanilla ice cream, but you can enjoy it with a seasonal flavor, too.
