A nice find. We went to another close by place and they close early. So we headed over here. We were greeted and made to feel welcome. Almond Mocha and Hot Chocolate tasted great No problem getting a "real cup" Lost points since they did not put a design on coffee.

6am...ish more like it! Horrible experience this morning, I wanted to surprise my girl with a cup of cocoa so I got to Zola's at 0550, it's walking distance from my house. When I walked up a man and a woman were exiting a truck parked out front, they walked inside of Zola's & as I approached the door the man creepily walked back a ever so slightly locked the door. There was no exchange of words to me as a customer to say, "hey we'll be open soon" or "hey come in out of the cold it'll just be a minute" So I waited outside, the man & woman disappeared in the back until about 0558, then they came back, woman behind counter & the man was standing in front of the bakery part. 0600 came round no door open no lights on, they were just inside as if I didn't exist. I waited til 0603 & had enough, no signs of them opening & no communication. Zola or the owner please change your hours so you don't have customers waiting outside. I for one will never go back & I will tell all my friend, family & coworkers not to go! read more

Maybe it was the fact that we were here on the last day of vacation after having to pack up, fit about 8-10 suit cases/duffel bags and 4 people into a Prius, and were looking toward a day that would include 7 hours in the airport. BUT it was the best coffee I've ever had in a coffee shop. At home I generally stick with french press coffee that is ground with my burr grinder. I usually stick with just black coffee and (unless it is time for a bit of decaf and Irish cream). But if I am going to have an espresso based drink, I would want to have it from here again. Just a shame that you guys are 20 hours from where I live! read more

Went to this cute cafe Saturday and was pretty impressed. Has the chocolate muffin and a regular coffee. The only thing missing was half and half for my coffee, and I should have asked for it - I'm sure they have it! Lots of local art for sale, and great ambiance, even in the middle of the day. This will be my rainy/sunny day hang out! read more

I love Zola's! They have the best soy chai latte. And the lemon bars - O.M.G! I crave it like crazy. And staff are super friendly. Other items I love: -pumpkin muffin warmed up -panini sandwich -did I mention Lemon Bars? -macaroon -tiramisu cake roll Yum, yum, yum!! read more

I love coming here to get some good tea latte's and focus. Or just to get out of the house (being a stay at home mom, I don't get to do that much). They have free wifi, but don't be rude and just steal the wifi, get a beverage or something. I have had the tiramisu roll and their broccoli quiche.. Both have been super yummy. As well as their tea latte's. As for their coffee I've only had a couple times and honestly I wasn't a fan. But I am a coffee snob with multiple roasters training. So it's my fault. Just a big fan of medium roast and I believe they use dark roast, or they were pulling to short of shots oooor their machine needs to be serviced. Not sure but I love my tea latte's more. They're always friendly and I feel welcome every time I step in. One of their barista's whom is a male is very pleasantly sassy. I always enjoy over hearing his banter. I hope one day they are hiring for a shift while my daughter is in school. Maybe one day! Thank you guys for being awesome! I would say Auburn needs more cafe's like you.... but you guys are within walking distance and I only want to go to you. :) read more

Zola's Cafe - Love this places environment. So cozy. Super peaceful. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, Washington

The cake is fab and the bakery items The sandwich is sort of bland tasting and a little $$ the cafe is cozy by itself tho. Hummingbird cake and cinnamon coffee item was really good would come again for those Just wish they had more then one wall outlet to charge Comfortable seating and free wifi read more

Super cozy place that greets you with a smile. I've only been here twice, but each time I go I try something new. The white chocolate coffee is better than other places that I've been to. Also if you want to try a great grilled sandwich this is the place, but make sure you try it with the house special bread they make there. I think it's called focaccia and its rather good. The ambiance of this place is what you expect a cafe/coffee place to be. The art the have on the wall is nice and to sum it all up I highly recommend this gem, you won't be disappointed. read more

I come here all the time, and their carmel zola is all I get because it's that good! Their chicken panini sandwich is delicious. They put lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes on the side so you get to choose (I love options). read more

I was looking for good coffee and a quick bite, I was l about to head into Seattle when I stumbled upon Zola's. Immediately when I walked in I loved the atmosphere. It was relaxing and has so much character. I had the Hashbrown breakfast sandwich which was exactly what I needed. Coffee was really good as well. I will definitely make Zola's my usual spot! read more

Zola's Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, Washington

Amazing food. The food includes gluten free and vegan options which are the best I've ever had.

Zola's is the best! I'd give them 10 stars if I could! They serve a variety of beverages and have a specialized selection of food items that are delicious. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming--combined with friendly service that makes you feel comfortable immediately. They also support our community - by sponsoring and supporting various artistic venues. Friday nights you can find live, local music groups ranging from established ensembles to high school groups. You will find artwork by local artists displayed on the walls. And they are family friendly as well! Best independent coffee shop in Auburn! read more

The easiest five stars I've ever given. I want my house to feel like this place does. Lots of light, a variety of seating, amazing smells and happy customers (and staff). The English Breakfast tea was served properly, and tasted awesome. The chicken pesto sandwich was life-changing. Now I just need to find an excuse to drive to Auburn from Seattle once a week. read more

This place is perfect for a casual coffee date or a spot to read a book, considering there's a fantastic used bookstore down the street! Try the Zola Caramel: you definitely won't regret it! Also, park in the lot across from the police station, not behind Zola's!! read more

Can't wait to come back here to eat! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was cool, the price was fantastic, and the portions were great. The eggplant panini was out of this world!!! I will definitely order this again! The field roast panini is the closest I've had to a Philly cheese steak in years. Yum! read more

Good coffee and tea, cookies and sweets are awesome too. Panini sandwiches(really like the bread on them) and chicken pot pies(especially good) are my favorite food, well soup is actually really good too. Pizza is too bready on my taste but I know people who love Zola's pizza with special kind of love. read more

I like the interior, what they serve, and the food was good. But I don't think it's really a child-friendly establishment. We weren't there long and there we no other customers in at the time but they seemed very annoyed by my son eating the yogurt and milk we bought him to eat. the one bad thing he did was get yogurt on the table and glass door which I promptly cleaned up and offered to use any spray cleaner to make the door look even more perfect again. They declined but we really felt unwelcome. It's by the courthouse so I assume it's mostly adults. In that case, it is a good place. read more

Worst cafe I've been to in a long time. My sandwich was cold and undercooked, it was also missing add-on's I paid for. The sandwich was also so bland I could only take two bites of it, and threw the rest away. They also didn't give me my muffin I paid for. The gentleman working and rude and made me feel rushed. I did not enjoy my experience at all and I don't recommend this place to anyone. read more

A cute little coffee shop in the small downtown area of Auburn. Good coffee and yummy breakfast items hot off the panini press. Their dark chocolate mocha was my favorite. Two shots of espresso in a 12 oz mocha is the perfect balance and a great pick-me-up. The staff was friendly enough. Not my all time favorite coffee shop, but a solid 4 stars for sure! read more

They always have excellent food and will tailor your order upon request. Unfortunately they have unmasked dining, so not as health safe as they could be. The staff always wear masks and that is a comfort. read more

Favorite cafe to go study at! The coffee and food is really good! I've never been disappointed. Great WiFi and it's nice and cozy. The workers are very kind. Love the atmosphere:) read more

Zola's Cafe - So nice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, Washington

First time here. At first, started to get concerned about the area...just not familiar. Then noticed it's across the police station. There is outdoor seating with a few cute bistro style tables. They have vegetarian and vegan items, as well. I had the eggplant pannini with the iced cinnamon roll latte with almond milk. Both very delicious. The ladies that works there were very nice, as well. I'd be back for sure. read more

Had live music playing, great environment. Their coffee was okay, and they did carry almond milk which was a plus. Outdoor seating available, and lot of pastries and cafe items. read more

I want to like this place more than the three stars I gave it, but every single time I come here the staff is borderline rude. It's a cute little coffee place with great food options but the greetings, or lack thereof, from the staff has turned me off to this place. read more

The artichoke dip is off the charts. Best I've ever had. The focaccia bread is fantastic. Washed it all down with a smoothie. N.W. Berry. Boom. Come try this. read more

Enjoy an informal relaxed atmosphere with a full menu and creative drink menu, not to mention home cooked food? Oh, and you may be searching for music and/or vegetarian and/or gluten free? Look no more. Stop here. Try the Thai Cold Brew and the Falafel salad, or enjoy the artichoke dip - this is NOT the artichoke dip from Costco. This is some type of artichoke souffle served with thick pita bread. Awesome food. read more

Great place! Friendly staff and hands on owners. Customer service is obviously its standard. And I think 'customer service' flows to its hand crafted foods. I've had the sandwich, soups, and pastries. All incredibly good served by great folks. Will keep coming back and I live 30 minutes away! Will take colleagues to this place as well because good secrets should be shared. read more

I love this cafe! It is a little bit more pricey, but the food and coffee are well worth it! The environment with the sofas and the tables by the window are really nice. The art inside is so colorful and interesting, it's fun to sit and look at! Try a white mocha here! I haven't had one that tastes quite like it! read more

The atmosphere was inviting the moment I walked in the door. The staff was super friendly and kind. The artwork hanging around was amazing and well balance/diversified. The pumpkin spice latte, a homemade recipe, was incredible. My already snob levels have been elevated to a higher standard now. And the food... OMG... the food was delicious. They offer a variety of vegan/gluten-free/standard baked goods and meal items. My polenta lasagna came with a massive pile of greens, just the right amount of healthy delicious food. I only wish I didn't live all the way up north, I'd come here often, and have now marked this as a must-visit place when heading south. Even if I have to take a path away from the route. Love this place (maybe they'll open up a sister shop at Greenlake, a girl can always hope and dream) read more

My favorite cafe. Terrific coffee, great sandwichs, and unique atmosphere. The cafe looks like it's straight out of Seattle with art and a fire place as well as a dog friendly patio. If you are in a huge rush though, it's good to know it does take a few minutes to get your coffee. There are always people here and only 2 employees so they do their best. Way better than Starbucks! read more

Favorite coffee shop in town. Stop by for some brunch with my fiancé nearly every day! The staff is friendly and knows not only my usual drink choice but also the second and third options! Food portions are also very hearty and affordable. I love the atmosphere. Very artsy fartsy with paintings by local artists and great live music. Definitely gets an A++ from me. read more

Zola's is a very cute little coffee shop on Main street. The coffee itself is pretty good and it's a nice place to sit with friends or read a newspaper. read more

Food and coffee are just ok; customer service is quite bad. The lady with the short black hair is by far the worst (I think she is the owner). They seem to be very friendly if you are a regular. I have been going there at least once a week for a couple of months and have not been greeted once, they just stare at me until I tell them what I want. Very weird! I will give them another chance, only because there really aren't any other options in Auburn. read more

This place is local and the menu is small. But the food...is pure quality. Try the paninis, they're delicious. Also the salad on the side always tastes fresh and I've been here a few times. read more

Amazing coffee! I've been going to Zola's for years and have never been disappointed. Their vanilla chai is phenomenal! It does get really busy and the shop is small so get there early if you're meeting someone so you can grab a spot. An easy 5 stars. read more
