My favorite place to go for coffee. Recently it's been super busy which is always good but I can never sit down and work like I used to in fact last time I walked in and walked right out. They e just gotten more popular. I love sitting at the window and getting a nice small view of Roosevelt. It's small but it's lovey read more

Hands down best coffee in town. Yep there, I said it. Heck lets say it again - the BEST coffee in town I l mean come on, whats to say, I clearly love everything about this place. Its is basically everything you want in a coffee shop, locally owned, knowledgeable staff, excellent wifi (cuz lets be honest, how else is work getting done) comfortable seating, excellent location (even if parking can be a minor nuisance) and coffee that is just phenomenal. Hang on, coffee that is phenomenal consistently ! They roast their own coffee onsite and so you know what you are getting is quiet honestly as fresh as it gets. Heres 2 parting pro tips : Get the largest size possible. Why ? Because every darn drink is so damn sinfully delicious why would you deprive yourself? Self denial is over rated when it comes to coffee. They are now open in terminal 4, so buy your beans from there and you dont have to deal with baggage issues, cuz you know you are buying more than just one, i mean you do have friends dont you ? Yep, you're welcome. read more

I got their caramel latte with their house whipped cream as recommended. The caramel latte was good but the star was definitely the whipped cream. It was so good!! You have to get it on any drink if you come here! read more

Lola Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Best coffee ever. The Matador is my favorite, ‍ and their pastries are amazing. I like asking if they can warm them up.

I heard A LOT of hype about Lola. I first visited Lola Coffee at their Downtown Phoenix location and then again at the Skyharbor Airport (they're no longer there), and both times my coffees were pretty bland and didn't have any wow factor for me. I think the DT Phx location had a very "hipster" vibe to it and attracted many college students and other young people who came there to work on their laptops. The place is kind of small and gets crowded, but they do have ample outside seating. The airport location was just your typical setup and the service was what you'd expect out of airport coffee-shop staff. I'm rating it lower than usual just because there was nothing too exciting about the whole experience for me. I was fortunate enough to snag a seat while I was there, but most aren't as lucky. It seems like more people are concerned with getting a pic with the Lola sign outside for their 'gram, and so the "aesthetic" bit is emphasized over the actual product and service. Lola does have a lot of fans, which I respect, but I personally will not be back. read more

I decided to stop by as this coffee shop has really good reviews. I was greatly disappointed once I got there for a few reasons. The pastries were in an open case and flies were walking all over the pastries which almost made me leave the establishment. But I decided to stay and just order a drink, I ordered an iced chai latte but instead got an iced milk and nothing close to a chai. Considering that I stopped by during a slow time there was no seating and service was slow. I will not be returning any time soon. read more

Super cute coffee shop! Park in the " gold" parking structure located directly behind the building-it's free and easier then searching for street spots! I ordered the skinny iced vanilla latte-$4.50 for a large! Drink was tasty and a perfect blend to me of the sweetness not overly sweet but not a strong coffee taste. The inside is on the smaller size and did fill quick but they do have seating outside as well! Lots of pastries to choose from even at 1130am! Studied inside and didn't find the noise to loud. read more

Lola Coffee - Iced vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Cool scene - indoors and outdoors - with the hipsters and gays of Phoenix. Great coffee and pastries. Air conditioning could have been stronger and acoustics made conversation challenging. read more

Our iced vanilla americano was good and not too sweet. I was more impressed with the omelette! It was moist (nothing worse than a dry omelette!!) and well seasoned, and the havarti was a nice addition. I think 1$ per additional veggie is a bit of a rip off, but otherwise well priced. The only strange thing is that the salsa comes with the food at the window, but the garlic aioli needs to come from the girls at the front?? Strange. But still yummy. Cute indoor and outdoor seating and we had no problem finding a parking spot within a block during the week around 9am. read more

Lola is my husband and I's Saturday morning routine. It is also the place we went on a date on 8 years ago and I realized he was "the one," so it's a pretty special place for us. We love their coffee -- their cold brew is strong, but smooth. My husband usually gets a latte, creamy and delicious. I get the most well done almond milk lattes every time. The milk is always the right consistency, people tend to over steam almond milk, but not here. I also enjoy the flavors in the matador when I want to branch away from my usual. Can't go wrong here. Another high point is their pastry case! The croissants are always so deliciously flakey and buttery (but without being greasy), chocolate chip cookies are delightful. Muffins are always so flavorful and moist.The tortilla española is one of my favorite breakfast things, and I do have cravings for it every now and then. The baristas are always so friendly and helpful! Love this place and so happy Phoenix has it. read more

This cafe was pretty small and tables were quite squeezed. The outside seating was much more open and they had a very pretty sign up! The cappuccino was good same with the dirty chai. The bagel however was not toasted and lacked cream cheese. All in all decent! read more

Lola Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was down in Phoenix to meet a friend to do some shopping and some errands and we stopped in at this wonderful coffee place and really had a nice cup of great coffee. The atmosphere was cool everything was nice and we were really happy just to hang out and have a really good solid cup of coffee and I'll tell you it's a lot better than Starbucks that's for sure. The only thing is that we did have to wait a little bit for a coffee and the coffee was not as hot as it should've been but aside from that I would say this is a really good 4 star coffee place and I would definitely come back. read more

My husband and I buy their beans every two weeks and brew at home! We love the quality and the price that Lola sells! They did recently go up $3 of their beans but for us it's still worth it still beats lux and other coffee shops price per oz! read more

Relax and enjoy Today, I stopped in at Lola Coffee to grab a latte and something sweet to eat. This was my first visit to Lola's Coffee and I really enjoyed myself. Lola has a nice coffee shop feel; with large tables, oversized stuffed couches, newspapers, and magazines. Hoaever, if you prefer to sit outside Lola's also offers a nice outdoor seating area. I liked that Lola's was busy with people constantly coming and going and I really enjoyed my caramel latte and Pastry, which was fresh and delicious. Friendly staff, great coffee, tasty pastries, and inviting atmosphere (a bit small but nonetheless great.) What more can you ask for. So if you're ever in the area, you should stop by you will not be disappointed. read more

Hands down the best coffee shop I've encountered in downtown. One of my coworkers told me about this place and I'm so in love. Excellent customer service, great parking in the morning, in and out in 5 minutes and the cherry on top...leaving super caffeinated and with a smile. read more

Food was very good but the quichr was kinda eh... not bad just not as good as mine!!! I'd be willing to share the recipe tho!!! Hee, hee!!! The donuts, bagels, crossaint and coffee were bomb tho!!! The decor outside is beautiful with their succulents, I'm just not into eating out there with the AZ summer weather! The only thing I didn't care for were some of the other customers were just staring at my nephew any time he made any noise! Not the most accommodating for my adorable special needs nephew and it put a slight damper on my birthday breakfast because the stares and glares from other customers were stressing her out! I mean, I realize people were studying and doing work, BUUUUUUUUUUT, it's a coffee shop, NOT A LIBRARY!!! You want silence go there...you can't bring your coffee but you get your silence!!! I would like to say though that this was not a reflection of the employees, they were all very nice and friendly!!! Just letting other parents know tho that customers are snooty towards kids! I'm not sure if there is anything Lola's can do to make the customers more kid friendly!!! But I will be back...I heard a chocolate donut and cheese Danish begging me to try them...not sure who will win!!! Hee, hee!!! read more

We came across this place after walking from the Japanese Friendship Garden which is located down the street from this coffee shop. I really enjoyed my experience here due to the quality of the coffee that was being served and the friendliness of the staff. I always make it a habit to try community coffee shops when I travel vs. going to the generic place's like starbucks/coffee bean. The inside of the shop is a bit small with limited seating area but they offer a outdoor patio that is shared with other local business. Outside in the patio they have a water station with packets of sugar, straws, napkins, etc. Overall cute coffee shop with a great team. read more

Not the best choice for a coffee.... my cappuccino doesn't taste right.. I think Barista didn't care about it and my milk is cold in my cappuccino :-( I'm not coming back here.... I'll better to go to Cartel there are coffee is always excellent!!! read more

Lola Coffee is amazing! So cute and a very popular spot! Amazing food options, the breakfast sandwich was delicious and very customizable. Baristas and all staff were SO FRIENDLY. Great vibes, food, and coffee ! read more

Delicious coffee and food, great service and very relaxing ambience. We sat outside on the patio and people had their dogs with them. Really nice. read more

Stopped by because I wanted good coffee and a killer vibe. Needless to say, Lola Coffee did not disappoint- really embodied the artsy hipster feel radiating from the Roosevelt area. I had the Matador (cold) and was actually very impressed with the mix of flavors- cinnamon, espresso, and hot chocolate. The whipped cream on top was delicious and actually had a taste of mocha. I also ordered the chocolate chip banana bread and was unfortunately not as impressed. It was a little dry/stale (by 10AM) and the chocolate sort of took away from the banana part of the bread. Next time I'll have to try the chocolate croissant, which is apparently amazing. On the last note, I thought the prices were extremely affordable: small cold matador, medium Americano, a decent sized choco banana bread for $11 read more

Lola Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is a review mainly on the espresso coffee. It's pretty awful. Lola's previously had the best espresso 3-4 years ago. Daniel must have changed his beans because it's terrible now. I try their coffee occasionally when Cartel or Press is closed and the espresso always tastes burnt and flavorless. I used to buy Lola's beans for years. They were amazing and really freaking strong. Now the coffee has one note: BITTER. What a shame. As far as everything else, the pastries are really tasty, customer service is okay, great location, pleasant environment ect. Unfortunately that means nothing when you're a coffee shop. At this point Lola's might as well be a Starbucks. read more

Really liked the environment, feels so cozy. The service is quick and friendly. The coffee is great! Will definitely be back. read more

This coffee shop changed my life. Never in my life would I have guessed that this coffee shop of all places would be home to the best breakfast burrito in Phoenix, yet it certainly is. They have a full kitchen in the back where a chef is cooking up delicious food all while having great coffee that you can even buy by the pound! Great local coffee shop with a great vibe. Even better now that more indoor seating is back. No better way to start my day than a coffee and custom order breakfast burrito from the Lola. Will be back MANY times. read more

I live down the street from Lola's coffee so I come quite often to get breakfast burritos. The burritos are delicious and the coffee is great! Every time I have came in the staff are always friendly and welcoming. A bit over priced in my opinion but it's still great. The only reason for a 4 v. 5 star rate is because almost every time I have come to Lola's I literally write out No Cheese on my burritos and every time it's mistakenly added to my food. Other then that this coffee shop is a pretty great place ! read more

A-OK for a latte. The service was nice, and my latte arrived in a timely fashion. Not much different than any other major coffee chain - except one thing... This, my dear friends, is a service industry. As such, I totally expect, and enjoy, tipping my barista whatever extra amount that is reasonable. However, there was no tip jar. I find this disconcerting because it usually points to a micro-managing supervisor or some authoritarian policy that disallows hard working people who very likely make close to minimum wage from getting ahead. What's the deal, Lola? You should allow customers who wish to tip their hard working barista and other staff if they want to. Owners and management must be real jerks. To the staff who work here - I sure hope the management catches up to 2017 and allows customers like me who have worked in this industry before to tip you for your hard work! read more

I visit here frequently and I love to get the matador. It's a very nice vintage looking coffee shop and it's decorations while minimal really have an impact. They really focus on the food and coffee they serve here as I haven't had a bad experience yet read more

Amazing signature lattes. Staff is super friendly. Free WiFi is awesome. Come early and grab a table! Peking isn't great.

Red hair Cashier was very rude and un helpful she seemed very annoyed at us asking simple questions about the drinks. There were 4 of us who had a bad drink, and one who's cup was so filled with ice her drink was maybe 3 sips. We had a croissant which was alright, but I did watch a bug crawl into a bagel so idk how much I would trust the pastries!! read more

The location of this little hot spot is in perhaps the hippest, most beautiful section of downtown Phoenix. Almost a European feel for the sectioned town and courtyard it is in - right next to Pita Jungle. Love everything about this place except for one thing... If you plan on staying, it is perhaps the noisiest coffee spot on planet earth. Still, that said, you need to go... Great coffee and wonderful homemade food. read more

Lola Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Lola is really cute with a decent amount of breakfast options. It was crowded the morning my boyfriend went in for breakfast with only a few tables open. I got a breakfast sandwich with iced coffee with almond milk and he got a breakfast burrito with iced coffee and normal milk and we both got potatoes. Everything was good but the potatoes were pretty salty. I definitely want to go back and try their pastries! read more

Lola Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I posted a review of Lola after my first visit and was asked to take it down because some people thought it was too harsh. I've given it four chances now. And I have to say, I am disappointed with Lola. I have been on the hunt for a chill coffeehouse in my neighborhood, where you can work and sip coffee, and occasionally chat with your neighbors. I live in right on Roosevelt Street and was hoping Lola would be that ... but it really lacks the ambiance I am looking for. The coffee was alright. The espresso shots tasted like they were burnt. The croissant I had was dried out. But the vibe is what was really lacking for me. I left after 45 minutes. I would rather be in my own house ... in my own space. I think the owner was in when I came in once and he didn't even make eye contact or greet customers ... nothing. I think that's why Lola is lacking an authentic vibe. It is an intimate space, and the decor is nice, but being in there puts me in a bad mood. Too many wannabe hipsters and pretenders - and that includes the inappropriately dressed and overly tattooed baristas behind the counter. OK, you've got fake boobs, we see them already. I don't need to see them so intimately. You may also want to get a pair of jeans that fit so I don't have to see five inches of butt crack while you're getting my coffee. And dudes, having ink doesn't make you hip. Being able to be engaging and interesting makes you hip. And the sour looks don't help. I REALLY want to like Lola, but every experience I've had at Lola has been full of the attitude that I hope to avoid in an independent coffee shop. Very disappointing. read more

On recommendation from a friend, I recently tried Lolas. He told me to go to the central location, but I was in the area, so I stopped into this one. Upon entering, I ordered two drip coffees for my boyfriend and I. The response I got was, "I'm not brewing anymore drip today." Apparently, they close at 7 and 6:15 is too late for coffee in a coffee shop. I then suggested she could make us Cafe Americano's instead. I asked for skim milk in one of them, and in response, a gallon of skim milk was slammed down in front of me. As I sat drinking my watered down cafe americano, the barista began sweeping around us. The dirt was flying everywhere. At that moment, I decided we needed to leave. The only thing keeping me from taking a steaming shit on the floor was the 3 cops sitting in the corner of the shop. I'd rather get coffee at a shell station. I suggest you do the same. read more

My home away from home. I write some keyword blogs for a living so I need someplace to work. I go here and try to look like I am working on a script instead because the hipster girls like that. The baristas are all lovely ladies (Except Joreal [sp?] but he is cool as shit so I let it slide). The coffee is divine. The place is hip and you will run in to myself and/or Wayne almost daily and that's cool right? read more

The coffee with the whipped cream is so amazing I could get this drink everyday haha.

I firmly believe in supporting local businesses over impersonal chains, but Lola is trying really hard to prove me wrong. I live in the Roosevelt neighborhood and love having a cute local place to go to, but I have been regularly let down by Lola. So let's start with five stars and I will show you how I came up with my rating. I'll say the best things about Lola first: The coffee is good. No better than Lux, Conspire. Fair Trade or even Starbucks, but solid. The beans are roasted in store and the difference is obvious. So, the COFFEE is OK. They offer free wi-fi. Great! And the building and décor are fantastic. Perfect! Five stars. But the first time I went there, I didn't get coffee. I ordered a latte and a croissant. I grabbed my drink and ran to catch the light rail. Took a sip. Lukewarm latte. How hard is it to heat up milk sufficiently? On top of that, the croissant was stale and dry. So if you go there, make sure you taste your drink before you leave the place and also take a bite of your pastry. I got coffee the second time I visited and it was fine. But take away one star for that bad first experience. We're now at four stars. Now the service. Simply put, the people who work there kind of suck. This is a real shame, because they seem like pretty interesting and fun people when they're talking to each other (as they ignore you while you wait impatiently to order). They just seem to be there to hang out and have a good time. I felt like I was in high school again, trying to get the popular kids to notice me (or in this case, get the people who work at Lola to pretend to care about the other side of the counter for a moment). I should knock off two stars because service needs an overhaul, but I'll leave them at three stars. There are two other knocks I have for Lola. First, they close at 7 p.m., so that eliminates them as a place to hang out after work. They lose a half a star for that. But even if they were open later, I probably would not hang out there because if you don't snag one of the too few comfortable chairs, you're stuck with the most tortuous metal chairs I can imagine. They lose another half a star for that. So we're at two stars. I would have given Lola a one-star review if I wasn't really hoping they would turn things around. There is nothing I want more than to have a hip, happy, consistent coffee shop in my neighborhood. But right now, Lola isn't it. read more

I LOVE this spot!! As others have mentioned, when I made my first trip to Lola, I didn't know if it was a hipster reunion or a coffee shop. The staff were in a conversation and took a while to acknowledge me. I gave it another chance and am so glad that I did. I have come to love the place. The coffee is SO tasty, I no longer need ten pumps of flavored sugar to drink it. The staff are super friendly and warm to the point that you might think they are religious missionaries. I think it is sad and unfortunate that some reviewers are judging the staff based on body art or clothing. Really? It's 2010, chances are good your accountant AND physician have tatts or piercings. Tonight I took my sister to Lola for dessert and we had a great time. The staff are friendly and warm, and made great suggestions. The barrista even gave us a hot tip on a local concert. I live in the area and there is no finer spot for coffee. Fair Trade is musty and s-l-o-w. Check out Lola, it's a winner. Oh yah, they also have great music- it's nice to sit with a great drink and relax. read more

I think I can die happy now. Literally the BEST vanilla soy latte I've had in a long time! I was really impressed with this latte lol. Decided to switch things up from my usual jobot latte and stopped by Lola and I am glad I did. Also ordered a breakfast burrito which was super delicious as well. this place does get pretty busy, but they are very fast. The staff is friendly, super fast, and helpful. Also they have a good sense of humor. So funny story my name is so complicated so when I order coffee or anything that requires my name I just say lani to simplify everything. And 90% of the time my name still gets butchered really bad. It has become a highlight on my daily snapchat story. The cashier that took my order wrote my name down "Gilani" she literally made my morning and my snapchat friends morning lol. That was probably the most glorious name butcher... Anyway a great place for some coffee for all my coffee addicts out there!! read more

I can walk there!!! Not, like, a real city person walk. I mean a "Phoenix, Arizona, this is totally walking distance from my office" kind of situation. So, I am in heaven. That being said, I'm not sure I can see myself hanging out at Lola. It was sort of chilly inside (both temperature wise and general tone). But, I have been enjoying the coffee. The first time I went to Lola, I got their version of a white mocha - very very good. Today I picked their drip coffee and asked for hazelnut flavoring to be added. I was pleasantly surprised that I was not charged extra for the hazelnut, that I ALMOST tipped the girl ... if only she would have smiled ... or made me feel remotely welcome. So, Lola could use some customer service spiffying up (based on other reviews I read as well), but it's not going to stop me from going there. Did I mention I can walk there? Oh, and the coffee today was really quite good. read more
