Cool La La: Closing Its Doors

After six wonderful years of delicious Asian dishes, the community-loved Cool La La is closing its doors for the last time on Monday 15th July.
Owner of Cool La La and Village Cafe, Abbi Gatdula, has decided to close the restaurant due to wanting to focus more on Village Cafe. Abbi also mentioned that she and her partner will be semi-moving back to the Philippines, however, emphasises to her regular customers not to worry as you will still see her “face in Village Cafe regularly.”
Abbi stated that she has mixed emotions about having to close the restaurant:
“I have mixed emotions, obviously we have had the restaurant for six years and we have had a really good time, but we are going to focus on Village Cafe.”
Some highlights for Cool La La and Abbi have been moving into the bigger space that they currently have:
“Through Covid, all our customers actually supported us, which is why we were able to move to that big space for growth.”
As Abbi and her team’s focus moves towards Village Cafe, she announced that the cafe will be open for dinner very soon rather than just breakfast and lunch.
Abbi continues that her valued Cool La La customers can expect to see some of their favourite dishes from the restaurant appear on Village Cafe’s menu:
“As I was telling some of my customers, we can offer some of the food at Village Cafe.”
After a fantastic six years, Abbi wants to thank everyone who has supported them on their journey:
“Having that place for six years was not easy, but we have been able to make it because of our customer’s support.”
Abbi encourages her customers come and join them at the restaurant for their favourite dishes this weekend before they close.
“Hopefully it is not the end of it,” Abbi added.
“It may come back with the support of the community, and we would love for it to come back.”
Head down to Cool La La before Monday 15th to support Cool La La for the last time.
