JoLa has become one of my favorite places to spend time in. The Mahsa Chai is hands down my…read morefavorite drink anywhere, and the chicken pesto sandwich is one of those menu items I find myself craving throughout the week. Over the past weeks, I've actually found the atmosphere to be warmer, and more welcoming, and full of positive energy. Like any small business, transitions happen, but what matters to me is the experience I have every time I walk through the door. I've consistently been greeted with kindness, great coffee, and people who genuinely seem to care about creating a place where customers want to stay awhile. One of the things I love most about JoLa is that it feels like a true neighborhood café. Local artists are featured on the walls, it's a wonderful place to settle in and work for a few hours, and there's a real sense of community that you don't find in many coffee shops anymore. More than anything, it's obvious that the owner and management care deeply about the customer experience. They put a tremendous amount of heart into this place, and it shows in the details... from the quality of the food and drinks to the welcoming atmosphere they've created. I'll happily keep coming back, and I'd encourage anyone who's considering visiting to experience JoLa for themselves.

As a daily regular at JoLa for over a decade, I'm incredibly saddened by the recent changes here…read more What used to keep me coming back every single morning was the outstanding staff consistency and the warm, community-driven service. Lately, the energy has shifted. There has been a rapid turnover of the team, and without any of the familiar, long-term staff members who built those customer relationships, the welcoming environment is gone. While the current staff tries their best, the overall customer experience has suffered. After 10 years of loyal daily visits, the lack of consistency has finally pushed me to find a new daily cafe. ****My previous detailed review was taken down. It's incredibly disappointing to see a business I supported for years choose to silence feedback rather than address it. Losing a loyal regular apparently matters less than keeping up appearances.****

The prices were expected for the Sellwood area, I spent $37 on a grilled panini w/ a caesar salad plus two coffees. I got salami on the sandwich and it was pretty good, no complaints except it was kinda lacking without a tomato soup honestly. I used the aioli they put on their chicken sandwich to give it a boost and that upgraded the experience more for sure. My friend got their matcha and I chose the coconut cream cold brew. First of all... as someone who doesn't usually go for matcha, I liked it more than my own drink. Wow! That shit was yummy. I thought the cold brew was okay, nothing special, I would have liked it if the coconut flavor was better. The service was great though and the inside is very nice! Honestly felt spacious and open inside. There was a free library in the corner and there's a good mix of seating options. I love the couches. Menu had a good variety I would say too. Overall, loved but wished the cold brew was better.
