Stopped in on a Friday morning after hearing so many good things about this place. They are dog friendly, have a simple menu of coffees, fantastic gelato flavors (though we haven’t tried them yet), & simple pastries, as well. The barista was so sweet and gave our dog a pup cup! We ordered 2 spinach feta croissants, a quad honey iced latte, & a cappuccino and everything was delicious! The decor and vibe of this cafe is lovely. There’s also a patio in the back. Highly recommend!

ola’s Café in Nashville nails the kind of coffee shop vibe that makes you want to linger. I tried their iced vanilla honey latte — not my personal favorite ever, but still really good. Smooth, slightly sweet, and full of bold flavor without being overpowering. Definitely worth trying if you’re into unique, house-crafted lattes. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really elevated the whole experience. The space itself is just as inviting — clean, thoughtfully designed, and full of natural light. It strikes a great balance between cozy and modern, with a touch of personality that makes it feel like a local favorite. Whether you’re grabbing a quick drink or looking for a chill spot to hang out, Lola’s is a solid pick.

First stop after arriving in Nashville and didn't want to leave. Beautiful space, chill vibe, charming staff, and absolutely delicious menu. The chopped Italian sub and turkey and brie sandwiches were elevated by the fresh bread and thinly sliced savory deli meats. The cappuccino was the best too! Can't wait to go back for drinks and desserts! Update: went back on the way out. Ciao!

Saw this little cafe hidden away while walking and decided to stop in. What a wonderful surprise! Only open 2 weeks. A must visit for sure! Very chic and cozy. Welcoming staff. Delicious coffee. The croissant was AMAZING. I do not say that lightly - I've had enough sub par that I'm hesitant to try. My mom tried the chocolate one and it was the better option compared to my cream filled cake delicacy. Only thing was that there was no latte art on my latte - something that I always look forward too. But I did see it with another latte, so perhaps it was because the barista thought we were having our drinks to go, or the oat milk that I requested. Either way, definitely want to go back. They also make their own gelato in house!

We had a wonderful experience here! The gelato and espresso were better than I imagined it would be. Also, Ashley is incredible!! She was extra kind, helpful and so sweet to our daughter. She made the experience 10x better for us. We were so thankful for her! Will definitely be back!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE If you are looking for a low key vibe to work or just stopping in to relax with a friend and have some drinks, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!! The vibe is immaculate! I cannot begin to explain how classy and luxurious it feels! Not to mention the prices are extremely reasonable for the area!!

Beyond amazed at this experience. The staff were so friendly and the food was excellent. We tried the cookie butter gelato which was so good. I ordered the flatbread and an iced vanilla latte and both were very tasty and most importantly very affordable compared to other places in the area. The owner came over and introduced himself. We chatted for a bit about the restaurant as well as the other restaurant he has in the area. The owner and staff were all so personable. I’m in shock this place isn’t packed.

My new favorite Nashville cafe. Delicious food and coffee. Kind, attentive service (even on a summer Saturday!) and wonderful music & vibes. They even have the most underrated feature of a downtown spot….. a parking lot!!! So happy to have this cafe 5 minutes away!
