An awesome hang out for a nice latte and delicious pastries. Listen to some samba music and lay back. They have a nice outdoor seating also. If you are looking for a place to chill in the downtown area, this cafe is probably one of the nicest in the downtown area. read more

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

I'm giving it 3 stars almost solely on decor & atmosphere. After reading all of the rave reviews I really expected to be amazed, but sadly, that didn't happen. I did get a nonfat chai latte instead of coffee, so maybe that has something to do with it. It was kind of bland, nothing special :( But like I said, the company was good, the atmosphere nice & I love the look of the place :) If I try it again I'll try the coffee,,, I don't think I want to repeat my chai experience. read more

Lola embodies what supporting local businesses is all about! They have put together a first rate business that consistently serves GREAT coffee and offers a fine selection of pastries. The atmosphere is awesome with large windows facing the street that let in plenty of sunlight. Awesome tunes are always playing and I particularly dig the retro stereo. I always pop in just before work so I have yet to spend time and soak up the atmosphere, but this is a local business that Phoenix can be proud of. read more

I love this coffee shop..the area is perfect And the inside is spacious enough. They also offer breakfast pastries and now burritos. I have yet to try the burritos but the pastries are on point. I usually get an iced chai latte and it's made perfectly. I usually add extra cinnamon which is on the side bar. They have a lot of extras you can add too! read more

Great little coffee shop in downtown phoenix. Love the atmosphere and the people here. The coffee tastes great and it is much quieter and personal than lux coffee. I prefer this place a lot more. I love the decorations and the coffee is good on my tongue. ;) read more

I just moved in across the street. So I have been walking here and grabbing a pastry and or a mocha. This place has two entrances, one in the rear, or the main door located right off of roosevelt. The staff are very very friendly, even the people whom frequent this spot are very pleasant, I struck up a conversation with a man while I was waiting for my mocha just the other day. I stopped at the fair trade cafe just up the street and that place is rated very highly but I had a horrible experience there so I recommend this place much more over the latter. read more

Good tasting coffee. I'm impressed because they helped recommend what type of coffee to have, as I'm not a huge coffee enthusiest. Make sure to stop in if only for their German chocolate cake!! read more

It's a lovely little coffee shop. The barista was super nice and gave me some great options. She also gave some excellent recommendations for next time. It's a must try if you are near by. It also has a cute patio area to sit outside and get that Instagram picture. read more

If you're going to be choosing between Starbucks or here on the concourse outside of security I would say the drinks here are awesome. And maybe I should push this higher, but the service after the coffee was made was really rough. Let's get to the borgia...it was an Orange and Chocolate mocha...so yes that means double chocolate and the orange hit the spot right where it needed to as I was waiting for my girlfriend to pick me up. read more

Out of all the local coffee shops, this is one of my favorite. First, and most importantly, the coffee is great! It has a nice rich flavor, but isn't bitter. If you are looking for something a little sweeter, I recommend the Matador (along w/ the 50 other people here have). Secondly, there is some pretty delicious food. I really like the quiche the best. Third, the staff is always nice. Lastly, it's a cool environment. If you're looking for a cool place to hang out, this is a good spot. read more

Stopped in after having lunch at Pita Jungle next door. First time here and seemed like a typical coffee shop but that is what it is. The first thing I noticed was the smell, it smelled great! Fresh roasted coffee hit my nose as soon as I walked in, I knew it was going to be good. I ordered a mocha and when she told me the price it was the price on the menu. Tax must be built in but I think that is the way it SHOULD be. My coffee had a little leaf design and tasted and smelled as good as it looked. Definitely will stop by again when in the area. Plenty of seating, good atmosphere and a lot of open laptops. A nice place to hang out and smell the coffee! read more

Wonderful coffee shop. It's hard to find coffee shops in downtown Phoenix where you won't feel judged by the slew of hipsters that populate it. I felt very comfortable here, and came on a rainy day so the shop was still pretty full but not too point where I couldn't navigate through the tables. I ordered a cafe caramel and got the tortilla espanola which was NO JOKE by the way. It was so good. The cafe caramel had a hint of caramel and their roast (didn't ask what they use) was strong and beautiful and everything that is right with the world when you get that jolt of caffeine in the morning. TIP- Park at the gold parking lot right behind the coffee shop! read more

I found this place while exploring downtown & needing somewhere to do work on the computer. Literally no convenient outlets to plug up your computer charge. read more

me likes. the coffee is goooood. love the matador with that amazing cinnamon whipped cream.... do yourself a favor and get it in all it's full fat glory. there is plenty of seating here, but not for parties larger than 5. it's actually quite hopping early in the morning which makes it difficult for conversations as it gets pretty loud (8:30-9:30am), but dies down a bit after that. love the barista and the cashier (courtney) - so sweet! the only drawbacks... the baked goods are kinda meh. i like the homemade thing goin' on, but... the scones are SO hard, and the quiche had a souffle-y texture that i didn't care for. summary: get. the. whipped. cream. and maybe a lil coffee to go with that. read more

The owner of this location is amazing and I can tell he cares deeply about his establishment. This review is only based on the type of customer service I received through email and how quick he was to respond to my question regarding another location. Given how prompt he was I could tell that coming into this restaurant the staff will have a great environment and no bad vibes at all the way a business should be. I have yet to try out this location but I most definitely will have to go soon just to see for myself and update my review to add on to this. read more

Great coffee, setting and food! Lots of indoor and out back seating. I got a sandwich and boyfriend got a burrito. Both were good! Sandwich was too big for me to finish (not a bad thing). Also the blueberry muffin was so good. We definitely will be back! I wish there were more tables out front. And also if there was a table with the breakfast order forms were I think it would keep things rolling. This was our first time ordering breakfast so we didn't realize we had to fill it out at the counter, which took time deciding what we wanted and then we had to get back in line again. read more

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

Something I enjoy about Lola's (as opposed to some of my other CenPho coffee favorites) is that it is CONSISTENT! I do not have to worry about which barista is working or what drink I order - it is always good. -The staff is always friendly and takes time to get to know their regulars. -They always have great music playing. -Aside from their pastry case, they usually have some hot food you can order. -They have the best whip cream around - seriously. I never order whip cream at any other coffee shop, but I really don't mind those extra calories here. My least favorite things about this place: their seating. Yes, those old metal school chairs look fabulous - but they are cold and uncomfortable! If I'm going to hang out there for a few hours, I don't want my butt to go numb from uncomfortable seating. read more

The best breakfast burritos in the valley! No seriously the best in Arizona!! The coffee is heaven as well! Cute, tiny, intimate place to have some yummy coffee. Their pastries look delish, but was too busy with my bacon, egg, potatoes, and cheese burrito. read more

Service is always welcoming. Lucky to have a neighborhood cafe that serves your coffee with a smile and a "Thank you". Favorite Drink is The Matador and you absolutely can't skip the whipped cream. Pastries never an intention when I go in but always draw my eye and I'm sold. They never disappoint read more

Our favorite coffee shop in Phoenix, AZ. Seriously, we consistently drive out of our way, passing 5 other coffee shops just to come here. Everything we've had is fresh and made with love and care. The staff is friendly, funny, and accommodating. read more

I've loved Lola's since it was located on Central, just south of Camelback. The newer location (Roosevelt and 3rd) is a bit smaller, but the quality of the coffee and snacks is still always excellent. Their iced tea is excellent, but I'm always a sucker for their Matador - a mocha with cinnamon syrup that is out of this world good. They don't always ask you if you want whipped cream, but you're really missing out on something special if you don't get it! Parking can be a challenge, but if you drive a but north in the lot, you can park in the covered garage which is only for customers of the spots in the area. read more

Lola is exactly what I look for in a coffee shop. Not too big, but plenty of seating, an abundance of Wifi, super cute decor, nice people, and of course the coffee is always good (my poison being the Cafe Blanco). It's a downtown Phoenix gem. I would recommend it to anyone and will keep coming back for more. read more

Lola Coffee has awesome baked goods. I love myself some coffee and espresso but rarely do I really try a place's bakery simply because I don't think its going to be worth it. Don't make that mistake here cause we bought a slice of Zucchini Walnut Bread (or something, I'll admit I forget exactly) and we loved it. It kinda tasted like Life cereal which was crazy but went well with my Matador Latte. My girlfriend ordered a Green Tea lemonade by request and that was crazy good too. On a previous visit I had tried a Matador Espresso. Essentially a flavored shot of espresso I was really pleased. I make this mistake a lot where I get "ordering anxiety" so I order an espresso usually leaving me wishing I had gotten something else but the Matador Espresso is really good and although I was still thirsty I didn't feel like I let myself down with this choice. Their beans are pretty good too, good choice if you need some but there are other places in the area to get beans that I would prefer. It appears as well that they have fresh fruit available too which often is missing from most coffee shops I've visited in the Valley. Go to Lola! read more

Presenting exquisite pastries and an exceptional cup of the black liquid, you can expect a delicious cup every time. I would live in Portland Park just so I can walk to this place every morning. My only issue is of course with how busy this place gets, but who cares, coffee's good, so stand and sip it is. read more

10 out of 10! Fabulous coffee, great pastries and friendly service. If you're looking for a great espresso based drink and just enough hipster vibe, this is your place. They have a Lira espresso machine and their coffee beans are very well roasted (not burnt, not over roasted and not too floral/fruity). Baristas and cashiers were all friendly in the week I was here. read more

Nice little coffee shop. I was working in the area so I decided to follow the smell of coffee and found Lola Coffee. I didn't have any of the food but it looked good and the people eating it sure seemed like they were enjoying it. The staff was very nice and even though they were pretty busy everyone had a smile on their face and the service was excellent. I had a hot Carmel latte. It was delicious and a couple hours later I came back for a larger one. read more

I've had a lot of coffee, in a lot of places, and Lola is my all-time favorite. I love their iced coffee, which is reasonably priced and has a single shot of espresso in it (cheaters). Also their omelette bar is worth a shot on the weekends for a healthy brunch. They usually rotate their art out once a month, supporting the local art scene, and keep lots of local event info around. Background music is pretty good and non-intrusive, and there are always a few interesting folks around. Usually stop by for an iced coffee on the weekend, then buy a bag of locally roasted beans to take home for work-day mornings. Can't go wrong with the location, or their coffee. read more

If you want coffee, they serve it... got the iced coffee but it wasn't very good. I would recommend going to a Starbucks over this place.

I've been a huge fan of Lola's since they first opened on Camelback, but this review is for the Downtown/Roosevelt location. Any coffee shop can have an amazing space, amazing coffee, and an amazing location, but what I believe sets Lola's apart from other local coffee houses is the amazing people who work there. I really don't understand why a couple of people on here were complaining about the service, when the service is excellent every time. Plus I would love to know if those people have ever traveled to other countries where there isn't such a thing as customer service. Us Americans are spoiled enough as it is. Get over it because the people who work at Lola's are wonderful!! I will always recommend Lola's, always. Also, great prices!! read more

Lola is my favorite coffee spot in Downtown Phoenix. Their espresso is great and their baked goods are very good as well. Their staff is super nice too. read more

The reason i'm not giving Lola's 5 stars is because the coffee isn't consistent. Overall I love Lolas coffee, I think it's the best in Phoenix. BUT the baristas seem to be getting worse so even through the beans are good, sometimes the coffee comes out burnt. Sometimes when I get an ice mocha, they have not taken the time to mix the chocolate properly. I do think Lolas coffee tastes really good. I just wish they would hire better baristas or train them better. read more

This my favorite coffeehouse in Phoenix. It combines excellent coffee, coffee culture, a great space, and good service. Daniel Wayne is no stranger to the coffee business. He has worked in Phoenix, studied in Italy, started a coffee business in Seattle and two in Phoenix. I really think he is has a superb palate, respect for tradition while not shunning the modern, and a great eye for style. He is also very humble and gracious. His roasting style shows evidence of having spent time in Italy: not afraid of caramelization and a clear focus on balance + complexity. Daniel is a fine barista and I always ask him to make my drink, if he is at the store. Coffee culture is definitely apparent. From the espresso machine to the roaster seen clearly through a window in the seating area, it is a place serious about coffee without being overbearing. The space is outstanding. First of all it is "real place". It was an old market, I think and has perfect light, due to its orientation, windows, and high ceiling. Daniel pulls together an eclectic assemblage of vintage chairs, drafting tables, a glass door for a menu, and an old school console stereo w giant dorm speakers. The elements work together to make a relaxing urban space. Daniel plays vinyl and we both are huge Cat Stevens fans. He played the "Tea for the Tillerman" album for me on my last visit, which made my day. Not sure why they get slammed for service. I have always been treated well by all of the staff. They may not have the "may I take your order, please" smiley service attitude, but are respectful and kind. It is a great place to hang out for hours or just get well crafted espresso drink and a pastry. read more

Lola is my go-to for morning perks and for a place to do my weekend work. From the incredibly helpful staff who are as gracious as they come, to the eclectic music mix, the rotation of art on the walls, and the mixed clientele, Lola is the coffee space of my dreams. Even when traveling to cities such as San Francisco, Austin, And the best of the Midwest and East Coast, Lola sets the standard for me about everything a coffee shop should be. You can tell there is definite pride in ownership, and Daniel's impeccable taste is evident in every detail. read more

This small downtown cafe had delicious coffee, reasonable prices, and irresistible, homemade parfaits. I just wish their shop was a little bit bigger to cater for the amount of traffic they receive, so that they could put more seating in for customers. Great morning spot with a fun vibe though! read more

Downtown Phoenix is always tricky when it comes to finding a good spot to plop down and do some work while enjoying a good cup of joe. You won't be the only ones to do that at Lola's. It's the perfect spot for it. Why go there: The wi-fi is as hot and ready as the coffee and most importantly, the pastries (because caffeinated beverage all need a sidekick). For the most part the pastries look to be made in house. That's aways a plus. The atmosphere is good, even when busy it doesn't feel like you don't belong, sometimes local hangout spots can make you feel like that. Friendly ladies behind the bar. Don't miss: The croissants, or anything made with that very same dough... and the patio (on a beautiful cooler Phoenician day). Overall: A good variety of coffee and pastries to go with your coffee, this place isn't overly hipster in other words, it's not pretentious, it's kept simple and real. read more

I love this place. It makes my weekly commute to downtown Phoenix something I look forward to. Excellent coffee. I can't get enough of the blueberry muffins or scones - such a hard decision that I often get one of each. :-) The service is great, friendly and very speedy. Often my coffee is ready before I finish picking out my treat and paying. Which is super helpful when you have to get to work. read more

Tea selection leaves more to be desired, but its given in a teapot, which gives it an extra plus :). The place is super cute, but if you're coming to work, know that there aren't outlets for plugging laptops in read more

Love this place! In a great little neighborhood of DT PHX. Tasty drinks and bakery items. Friendly staff. Social, yet relaxing environment. You can come to chat if up, or get your work grind on. Spacious patio out back when the weather permits. read more

The music is so loud! Not a good place for conversation. Furniture is packed together and you can barely walk through the place, especially when it's full. Coffee was delicious and I've had better pastries. We're from out of town and searched through dozens of recommended coffee shops before choosing this one as our last pitstop before heading back to the airport. Wish we had gone with a different one! read more
