We stopped by Lola Coffee at 40th Street and Indian School this week and immediately understood why it feels like such a neighborhood favorite. The baristas seemed to know almost everyone who walked through the door, greeting customers by name and catching up with them like old friends. As first-time visitors, we were welcomed just as warmly. For drinks, we ordered a medium vanilla cappuccino and a caramel latte. The cappuccino packs a punch with four shots of espresso, but somehow manages to be both bold and incredibly smooth at the same time. The caramel latte was equally delicious and nicely balanced without being overly sweet. While Lola offers a variety of hot breakfast options, we decided to stick with pastries. The cheese danish was flaky with just the right amount of sweet. The blueberry scone was moist, flavorful, and loaded with blueberry goodness. Between the friendly atmosphere, excellent coffee, and tasty pastries, it's easy to see why locals keep coming back. Lola feels less like a coffee shop and more like a gathering place for the neighborhood. read more

Lola has my favorite espresso and this location has a perfect vibe for getting work done. I appreciate that they have coconut milk and their iced latte with coconut milk cannot be beat. read more

I hadn't been to this location in 2 years because one of the previous managers had made it a very unpleasant environment with staff and patrons. New manager Steph is great. Glad to see the change. Their espresso beans for Americanos are great and I'm going to start coming back more. read more

Atmosphere is clean & baristas are friendly. My husband & I came here in July. I had a hot chai (because it's been a rainy monsoon week). On the scale of sweet to spicy, the chai was on the sweet side which I don't mind. But it didn't have much flavor/depth. The shop doesn't have bad prices, but it's more expensive than Serafina Coffee on 7th St. read more

Tried this spot out in person. Super busy, long line took about 10 minutes to get to me on a Saturday morning. Once I placed my order, it was ready pretty quickly. I found a spot near the window and sat to read my book. But too noisy for a chill read but it was okay. Coffee I got was blanco, based on reviews. It was very tasty. read more

It was fine. Swung by for coffee. Service was okay. The shop wasn't special. It was clean. Had tables and chairs. People were there. Neither good nor bad. read more

Maybe they were just having an off day, but I've been a few times and the coffee is consistently watery, too milky, and lacking syrup flavor. The pastry was good but had much more dough than filling. The space is cute and most of the staff are nice, though one interaction felt a bit rushed. Overall, maybe I just caught them on a few rough days, but I was expecting better because of how recommended this place was! read more

Very good coffee shop to visit in AZ. We stopped by on our back home. The shop is really cute. It does get busy but the line moves fast. My oatmeal was so good, it had apples in it. Everything I ordered was really good. See my pics read more

We stopped by Lola to meet up with our kids before a lunch reservation nearby. We've had their coffee before, but this was our first time at their Arcadia location. It was pretty busy, so we grabbed a spot on the couch while we waited. While waiting we tried checking their online menu, but it only had a few items listed--so not super helpful. I ended up just having to go to the counter to see the menu and placed my order. We all just got coffee since we were having lunch soon. My hubby and I both ordered a vanilla oat milk lattes, and they were pretty tasty! Overall, the vibe was chill and the perfect little meetup spot before our lunch! read more

I've been to many coffee shops in the Phoenix area and Lola Coffee has made it to my favorites list! Although I just ordered a Hazelnut Drip Coffee, it was enjoyable! It wasn't bitter at all and I didn't need to add a lot of creamer to get the brew just how I like it. I also ordered a Ham and Cheese croissant and was the perfect breakfast and post-hike treat! Would recommend stopping by Lola Coffee if you're in the area! read more

Beware of the parking situation due to limited area. It's located between a brewery and a busy restaurant. We had to roam the lot a bit to get a spot. This coffee spot had plenty of tables and very open. I got a caramel latte. It was great! Next time I'd like to tone down the syrup to only 1 pump. Luckily, the sugar was all at the bottom when I got near the end. Great staff and inviting environment. I'd come back. read more

Amazing service! The barista (anna) took her time to explain the breakfast menu and gave me all of her coffee recommendations. And the coffee was 100% to write home about. I wish I discovered this place sooner!! read more

PLUS ANOTHER 5 STARS!! This place is solid! I stopped drinking coffee a few months ago but on certain occasions, I'll have my fav, iced coffee. Let me start off by saying it's beautiful inside out. Customer service is superb. Love the cozy feels. Vibes are relaxed. I asked a few questions about the menu and then ordered Iced coffee w/ caramel & vanilla, room for cream. They use real caramel not the syrup kind. The moment I added my cream and I took the first sip, I WAS IMMEDIATELY BLOWN AWAY!! It's so delicious. They also have cheap flavorful bites like an omelette going for $6.50. Definitely the spot for coffee. Thank you read more

I have wanted to try this place for a while, but it can be difficult to get downtown sometimes (and finding a parking spot can be even harder!). I had tried the other Lola location a few years ago and wanted to see how they compare. I think they are pretty on par with each other. The service and ambiance are both good, but the cappuccino I ordered was not quite as good as some of the other coffee shops I've been to around town. read more

Went in this cute little shop while waiting to be seated for brunch next door. It was busy, but we still got helped rather quickly. We couldn't decide but knew we wanted iced coffee with some kind of caramel but not a caramel latte exactly. The barista recommended an iced coffee with caramel and cinnamon and it was AMAZING! It wasn't too sweet and you could still actually taste the coffee, which I love because a lot of drinks are mostly sugar these days. I didn't know it was there but will definitely be back to try other drinks and some of their food because it looked yummy. read more

My mom and I came here on our lunch break! It was great, we got a cheese danish. The server asked if we wanted it warmed up which we of course did, he always made recommendations for what to order to drink and we both got the specialty Hazelnut White Chocolate Latte. It was amazing! We got it sugar free and with almond milk. Cute place, they've got some tasty looking breakfast options as well. Recommend!! read more

Let me preface this with the fact that I don't ever leave reviews, because I know as someone who works in customer service, how out of pocket some reviews can be. Not representative of the true culture. I have also been a barista for several years... However, I am giving a three stars solely because of management, not the employees. Sarah is a GEM, and she has incredible customer service. She's been there the whole time we've been coming, but turnover of other employees seems pretty steady. Whoever the manager is (I'm assuming as she "runs the show" when she's there) with the long curly redish hair, is rude. The flow is always more chaotic and disorganized when she is there. I asked to have my shots re-pulled as I had watched them sit on the bar for way too long. The barista on the bar was more than happy to re-pull them for me until she turned to the manager to tell her my request. The manager then looked at me (not sure if she knew I was the one asking) while saying to the employee, "those shots are fine we are not re-pulling them." I'd expect that crappy service at a big coffee chain, but not a mom & pop coffee shop. It was really disheartening and rude. I work in customer service, and no the customer is not always right, but to be that brazen about denying a customers request is pretty telling of the management style and culture there. read more

Came into Lola Coffee this morning to catch up on some reading and enjoy some wonderful coffee/food. The service was great and fast. I ordered the Cafe Blanco which is like a white chocolate mocha, and my absolute favorite on the menu! To eat I had their egg, cheddar, and ham croissant that was delicious. The croissant was buttery and the egg, ham, and cheese had great flavor. The parking can be a little difficult especially during peak times, however there is plenty of seating inside and has a very cozy vibe perfect for working, reading, or grabbing a coffee with a friend. read more

This place is so underrated!!! The coffee and beans are so fresh. The baristas are always so friendly and have great suggestions if you don't know what to try. The matador is my absolute favorite. And one top of it their pastries are to die for and so is their food. Quiche... heck yes! Custom breakfast burrito? Amazing! By far my favorite coffee shop! Thanks Lola crew read more

I've been to the glendale location of Lola a couple times since it is by my gym, but this was my first time at this one! It is spacious and there is parking in the back, it took me a second to figure out where it was but not too hard to find. It was busy in that lots of people were there but no line and no wait! I got an iced coffee with oat milk and vanilla. Barista got my drink out right away and was nice! My coffee was good, strong and just a hint of vanilla. Would love to come back and try something new next time! I will have to check out the downtown Phoenix location as well! read more

The ambiance at Lola's is very open and inviting. There will usually be 5-15 students there studying. The staff has always been pleasant and willing to help and give advice. Their vanilla latte is very good not too sweet and you get the strong espresso taste which is what I prefer in my coffee. I highly recommend their espresso whip cream as well. The food is baked fresh daily in house as well. Overall a very good coffee shop for the northern Phoenix area! read more

Good coffee & friendly staff. I love that Lola offers a drink of the day, it adds a nice touch for coffee lovers that might not be sure what they're in the mood for. There's also a variety of different drinks such as lemonade & tea if coffee isn't your thing. The pastries are always yummy & fresh. Lola also offers a variety of breakfast items from sandwiches to burritos. You can sit in & see art pieces hung throughout the cafe! read more

Lola Coffee - Iced lattes, bacon + egg bagel & blueberry scone - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Cute coffee shop with above average customer service and above average coffee. Cute interior but nothing out of the ordinary. Breakfast which people like is served only till noon. Interesting fact about Lola is that this names seems to be overused for the name of the coffee shop. As a fairly non common first name there seem to be a lot of coffee shops named Lola. Perhaps it's a sign of implied quality? I had orange latte which was surprisingly good and unique but not as sweet as one would anticipate! read more

I decided to try Lola Coffee as it had been recommended to me by a self-proclaimed coffee aficionado and I was in the area. I had read the reviews recommending the Matador and Cafe Blanco, however, I wanted something different. I asked for a recommendation by the barista and she was nice enough and not too outwardly judgy at my novice questions. We came up with a triple shot of espresso, almond milk, and Irish cream which translates to Triple Almond Irish Latte for $5.97. It was strong, as promised, however, not quite as sweet/not the strong/sweet ratio I'd hoped for. It was a good cup of coffee, just not my personal favorite. I did notice there were espresso grounds on the bottom of my cup when I was checking how many ounces it was. Overall if I'm in the area again I may come back and try the Cafe Blanco. read more
