It's clear that this place is a popular shop, it was crowded and a little loud when we visited this Friday morning. Seating is limited inside however we were able to find a spot outside, and thankfully they had umbrellas over them. They have a selection of baked goods (cookie & blueberry scone were very good) as well as sandwiches to order and of course, coffee. If I lived here it probably wouldn't be my personal favorite coffee shop but I can definitely see why many like it! read more

I love this coffee shop. It's on my way to work and easy to access. There's always parking and there's never a long line. Since I go in before work to get my morning fix speed has always been important to me and they have not failed me yet. I go in, order, and I'll be out the door in MINUTES. Not only that but the coffee is amazing as well. I always get the matador since it's my personal favorite but they have something for everyone. read more

Such a cozy little coffee shop. The staff is always friendly and the coffee is consistently great.

Really disappointed with the stale coffee. I kindly asked the barista for a fresh cup and she gave me so much attitude. I was shocked she actually scolded me in front of other customers. My family and friends will not be returning. read more

I love the vibe of this place. I've gotten work done here and have met friends to catch up. The baked goods are delicious and the coffee is some of the best I have ever tried. It's right by a historic neighborhood, so I love walking around the area. read more

Coffee was average. Friendly people and nice outdoor seating. No water misters outside so it's warm.

This is the best coffee shop in all the land!!!! The baristas make this place fun, inviting and familiar! read more

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

Great place for a Chai and a relaxing clear your head moment. Love the ambiance and the music was top notch!

The best coffee shop around. Love the taste of their coffee exactly what I was looking for. Too bad it's too far away from me. I wish they would open more locations of north. read more

Great coffee and amazing service. This is the epicenter of Phoenix coffee culture! Indeed the best of Phoenix.

Went here yesterday and got a medium iced coffee. It tasted burnt and I couldn't even drink half of it. I was excited to try this place as I'm from out of town and saw the reviews, but this coffee was not good. read more

Something old, something new.... Some things just get better and better. I literally ran past the first Lola's on Central and nearly fell or merely tripped for the place (as I was coming through the door). There were a lot of witnesses as the place was packed; my face never touched the floor. I discovered a new drink and read the New York Times. I could only think of one thing that would make Lola's better. I live downtown and thought if it were even more convenient, I would all but pitch a tent. Dreams do come true. LoDow (Lola's Downtown) opens in the space previously occupied by Calabria Italian Mkt. The atmosphere is the coolest. The music is grooviest. And, the Cafe Borgia (Orangia) is the best. First Fridays will maybe,,, definitely be a blast or any of the other days for that matter. I am thinking Sundays, sitting in the sun. I will be back,,, as soon as I can fix my bike flat. Save me a seat. read more

Despite living near Fair Trade Cafe for 2 years, this has become MY coffee shop. Coffee: The Matador is a great "signature" drink. Their lattes are pretty good, if not typically as memorable as Giant Coffee's. The Americano here is much better than other places nearby, in my experience. Food: Holy cow! The baked goods are Lola are enough to make me skip breakfast and just head here. I really dig the randomness of never knowing what they will make, and have never been disappointed when I've tried a new variation on something. Atmosphere & Service: The atmosphere and the service are what makes me come here over any other coffee shop near Roosevelt. Lisa and the rest of the staff have always given me excellent service, even when I show up at the last minute. Great service, a greeting when I show up, and a personal touch make me feel much more welcome here than at other nearby places. Plus, the lighting is great; I love to start my day off by grabbing coffee and catching up on the news/twitter from here, and I really dig the "refurbished" or "repurposed" feel to the furnishing here. The school chairs, the well-worked white table, the door-as-a-menu, the exposed brick, and the great speakers in the corner all give the place a great, lived in, texture. Shoot, I've mentioned this place 6 times on my blog in the last year (http://www.relevantwit.com/?s=lola). I'm pretty clear I'm addicted. read more

I was traveling in a far away land where a decent cup of coffee was unavailable, I've been to Lola's before and although I failed to provide a review, I knew that they could provide a suitable espresso beverage. I let the man behind the counter know my plight and he suggested El Matador. I'm sold. They really provided a stellar cup when I really needed it. Robust flavor, they listened to my 'not too sweet' request and got it right. read more

I like this place for all of its outside real estate, I don't like the cups they put your cappacino in.

Good food,happy people...It's a nice little place to enjoy the beautiful mornings in Arizona!

Coffee is delicious, such flavor and depth. Food is savory, sweet and creative. Lovely hangout spot, as well.

I stop here everyday, when I can. The "Matador" is the best coffee drink on the planet, it makes my coworker go in to this berzerker frenzy. Like a Mexican Cornholio. The chocolate croissant is the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. There was one left the other day, and I almost slapped the shit out of this old lady for taking it before me. read more

Coffee is fantastic.. survive is mediocre.. it's funny that Dutch had phenomenal service but coffee isn't that great .. decent .. and for the record .. service is much better at the downtown location .. and the back sitting area is marvelous. Love this place .. love the downtown location . read more

First time here and it was amazing! Needed a coffee fix and their Café Mocha did just that. Love the way the place looked on the inside and the outside. Too bad it had to be during the pandemic. Will definitely be back! read more

I have passed this place so many times and I always say I am going to stop and try it! I finally did and I am so glad I did. I love chai lattes so of course I had to try theirs. It was awesome! It was the perfect amount of sweetness and spice. The atmosphere is open and it looks like a great place to come with some friends or to just come by yourself with your laptop and do what you need to do. The girl was by herself behind the counter so she was a little overwhelmed but its ok because my drink was great! Thank you! read more

This truly is the most Flavorful Latte in Phoenix! The espresso isn't too bitter nor Smokey....it is so smooth. Great ambiance, awesome pastry selection & the friendliest Barista's! read more

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

Came here after my flight to get some ice tea. First off if you are gonna me open 24/7 as they say then you should also have things in stock. They didn't have the iced green or black tea available. They made the hot green tea to pour it over ice, but didn't wait for it to brew. Now pretty much all I have is warm water. The only reason I even gave it any higher than 1 star is because the guy behind me decided to buy my drink. read more

Atmosphere was laid back inside and outside patio had lots of seating. I got the iced chai which was great and staff was friendly. I would go back here again. read more

Well we've been coming here a while. We even moved into the apartment next door and thought this would be our regular place. Then this morning we decided to try breakfast there. Mistake. After ordering a breakfast sandwich to go we sat and waited while plate after plate passed the handoff plane. One to-go order came up but it clearly wasn't mine. After 15 minutes I decided to ask what was going on. Politely since I know accidents happen. The girl behind the bar told me I need to wait 10 minutes and they'll call my name. End. Now I'm hungry and peeved. So we wait longer. Another 15 minutes go by and I ask a different girl if my order fell through the cracks. She actually goes to check with the cook who has no recollection of my order at all and says someone else probably took it. She offers a refund, I decline saying I don't mind waiting if they make it right. She says it'll be done in 5 minutes. Another 15 minutes go by, (45 since I ordered) and a to-go item pops up in the window. I immediately check it out and ask if it's my breakfast sandwich. The cook tells me she's not sure what it is even though SHE just put it there. She asks my name and checks the tickets then explains she turned my sandwich into an omelet instead. I take it and we leave. Looks like we'll be finding a different place for local breakfast. I understand accidents happen but lack of communication and organization when dealing with people's food is just irresponsible. read more

Service was just ok, my iced coffee spilled all over and was given to me that way. Little things like this make want to not come back. There are tons of coffee places in Phoenix, why bother returning to a place that does not care much for presentation or a friendly staff. read more

I can't review their coffee because the rude salesgirl wouldn't let us buy any. We came here around 7pm on a Friday. The door says they are open until 10. The yelp profile says the same. She was on the phone with a friend gossiping when we came in. We stand there for at least 5mins before she noticed and said "oh yeah, we're closed." wtf? read more

4 stars for the place itself and it's food/coffee. 0 stars for the service, or lack there of. My business partner and I were in town for a convention. We heard we should check out Lola. So we did. We were excited. The lady (I use the term loosely here) who took our order was LESS than patient OR helpful. We asked a few questions. She barely answered us, then when we had to repeat the question she was nothing short of annoyed. An example. We asked where we could get a glass or cup of water. She mumbled something about the bar/table. My partner walked over and saw no cups. She came back and asked where the cups were. On the table came an exasperated retort. I walked over to inspect for myself. There were no cups on the table. So I kindly asked her if the cups should be on the table, if so there appeared to be none. She said they are on the table, but *sigh* I'll go check, but I know they're there! 10 seconds later she comes out of the kitchen with a tube of cups. IMAGINE THAT the customer was right. I watched this lady serve other customers. It appears that regulars are treated with a smile and courtesy and patience. Newcomers or people she doesn't like are treated worse than the dirt on the bottom of her shoes. My suggestion to management, adjust her attitude or get rid of her! She is not good for business. read more

Came here a while back, the breakfast burritos are so good! I love the iced coffees from here

I'm going on a coffee tour of Phoenix and the surrounding areas. So far, I've been to 6 places and this has been my 2nd favorite in terms of the coffee taste (2nd to Lux). My drink of choice is iced mocha and it was delicious. It was hard to find parking, but the inside was much better than Lux for some reading. The coffee was delish & service was friendly! read more

I frequent Lola Coffee on Central and Lux Coffee as well but I was very disappointed in this one. The location is quaint and the building eclectic; I do like the high ceilings but as far as comfort the coffee shops furniture are old school chairs, tables and vintage artist drafting chairs are beyond uncomfortable. Maybe they don't want people staying long but I wouldn't recommend this shop. The coffee is okay and the staff are wonderful unlike the staff at the Central location who barely say a word but I would have to say on a honest opinion, no thank you. I think there is always room for approval but they would need to makes some changes. They also close at 7pm which seems a little early for the city. read more

I think this place is too rich and delicious and expensive for people who have a relationship (like a wife and kids or whatever). So I'm single. read more

I'm pretty critical of coffee shops and this one was contemporary, crowded, and not at all exciting. It's in a nice, manufactured part of town so I was surprised this was on the list of suggestions from my hip Airbnb hosts. The coffee was standard. The crowd was mostly businesspeople. It's not a place I would come to again. read more

A coffee shop with great ambiance and skillful baristas. However, coffee is only as good as the beans and their beans are horrific. Although the texture of my flat white was perfect, the taste was so harsh as if the only note I could sense was carbon. read more

Best coffee I have ever had! Cute atmosphere & service is great! Their pastries are to die for, as well! Highly recommend Lola Coffee!

I always go here to get some grading done. Their americanos are delicious and the staff is always very friendly! It's a smaller coffee shop with some seating inside and more tables outside in the back; since the weather is beautiful now I like to sit outside and have my coffee. I'm not one who usually buys pastries or sweets at coffee shops, but I have had one of their cookies before and I really enjoyed it. read more

I absolutely loved this place! The food was great, staff was friendly, and the food came out fairly quickly. I got a breakfast sandwich on a crescent with a side of seasoned breakfast potatoes and a iced chai. The prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food was great. The only downside is that it gets pretty crowded and you might have to compete for seating since you have a lot of people lounging on their computer for a long period of time making it difficult to find an open seat to enjoy your meal. read more

Meh. If you're looking to experience FRIENDS without the cast and with "mood lighting" go here.

I've been a repeat customer off and on over the years. The matador is my favorite, but I like the iced version better than the hot. But the cafe blanco is soooo good hot! They are decently quick and friendly even when its busy. Parking can be no fun at times, but on not busy times, there is a lot of parking avail in the garage! read more

Super cool place. Folks behind the bar are real enthusiasts who care about their job. Food is good, baked goods were very good.
