Baking Cakes, Not the Planet

We’ve all got to live on planet earth, and so we all have a responsibility to take care of it. That’s why, at Lola’s, we’re committed to being as sustainable as we possibly can be in order to reduce the impact that our little bakery has on the planet.

Here are the ways we’re making Lola’s a more sustainable organisation:

Our Packaging

We make sure that all of our cupcakes and cake boxes are recyclable, and we’re working on making sure that we have 100% recyclable packaging. We also sell gorgeous cake tins, and if you bring back a tin to our stores to refill, we’ll give you 10% of your entire order. 

You can also get your hands on a Lola’s reusable metal straw, because we all know that plastic straws are almost never recycled. So now you can drink a Lola’s milkshake guilt free!

Food Waste

Since all of our cupcakes are baked fresh, we don’t keep any cupcakes in our stores overnight to sell them the next day. So now, via the app Too Good To Go, you can buy all of our leftover cupcakes at a discounted price - over two-thirds off! Combat food waste one cupcake at a time!

Our Vans

We got our first fully electric van back in November 2018, and we’ve been working on replacing our whole fleet with these electric vehicles to make sure that our cake deliveries don’t have a hefty carbon footprint attached. So far a quarter of the Lola’s fleet is zero emissions thanks to the solar panels on the roof of the vans which power the fridges inside!

Refill UK

We’ve partnered with Refill UK to make 11 of the Lola’s locations designated refill stations. Just ask a member of staff and we’ll refill your water bottles for free - so make sure you stay hydrated!

Water Waste

We’re doing our best to make Lola’s HQ as sustainable as possible. So we’ve just installed special air conditioning units that collect the condensation so we can use it to water our plants!
