    The gelato
    Jennifer B.

    Lola's is SO cute! When you walk in there's black and white tile with Lola's spelt into the tile and a super cute Vespa in the corner! Right when my husband I walked in we were greeted and the super sweet girl by the counter complimented my dress ! I got the chopped Italian sandwich with a ginger Italian soda. My husband got a ham and Brie sandwich and a cola Italian soda. My sandwich was huge and tasted amazing! I almost ate it all lol. After lunch I got a hit pistachio latte an I have to say it was one of the best pistachio lattes I have had in a while. They also have gelato, I didn't get any, but will for sure come back to try some!

    Such a cute cafe! There is plenty of seating. You walk up to order and the line moves very quickly, however, the FOH people are still very friendly and willing to answer any questions even though the line moves quick! I had the affogato with Oreo gelato which included 2 shots of espresso for $13 before tip which was delightful. My friend ordered the Tomato and Mozz sandwich. She opted to add turkey for a $5 up charge. At first, I thought $5 was outlandish, but they piled that turkey on there, so it was definitely worth it imo! One of the employees mentioned that they plan to have brunch with a DJ coming up soon in a couple of weeks, so I can't wait for that! I definitely want to come back and try some of their cocktails in the future.

    atmosphere 10/10, the music being played 10/10, service 10/10. this place is great! i got the turkey and brie sandwich, it was so filling and delicious. it could use some sort of zesty/lime sauce to make it a 10/10, but i give it a 9/10. the matcha was so good and the size i got was perfect. definitely come here!

    The food was actually good, but the overall experience was disappointing. The main reason we came was for dinner and ice cream, so it was frustrating to be told they were out of ice cream, especially when we watched a worker bring ice cream to the table right in front of us. There was no explanation that certain items were only available at certain times, so it honestly felt like we were being treated differently. We also weren't greeted when we walked in, and the staff had an attitude in general. You also have to order your food at the bar and seat yourself, which made the experience feel even more unwelcoming. Good food, but the service and communication definitely need improvement.

    I visited Lola's European Cafe with a small group and had a good experience overall. We ordered a classic whiskey sour and their French daiquiri house specialty. Both were well made, flavorful, and balanced -- strong without tasting watered down or overly alcoholic. For food, we shared the snack plate and the hummus. The snack plate was solid but didn't particularly stand out. The hummus, however, was a bit oil-heavy, which muted the overall flavor profile. The space is small and intimate, and I can understand how limited kitchen space likely shapes the menu. It feels like the cafe really shines when it leans into its signature items -- their chips, caviar, gelato, and beverage program feel cohesive and aligned with the concept. With such a compact setup, focusing on those standout offerings -- or even partnering with a specialty concept for broader food items -- could elevate the overall experience and keep it feeling intentional. I ordered tea, which was well brewed and enjoyable. A guest had the pistachio latte, and the espresso quality was smooth with nicely balanced flavor elements. Overall, Lola's has a charming atmosphere and a strong drink program. A slightly tighter menu focus would take it from good to truly memorable.

    This place is such a cool little find. It has this cute, garage-style cocktail bar feel that's cozy yet stylish, and they serve food and gelato -- already a win. They even have a members-only room, and one of the staff members was kind enough to let us peek inside. Honestly, such a unique space -- perfect for renting out for a private event. The décor is next-level: classic cars, motorcycles, a comfy leather couch, and even a table that feels ideal for working remotely. It's giving chic hangout meets creative clubhouse. As for the drinks, we tried the espresso martini, which was solid -- but the real stars were the dessert cocktails. The Grasshopper and pistachio martini were so freaking good. Like... unforgettable. Definitely a cool spot that's 100% worth checking out. Great vibes, unique space, and delicious cocktails.

    Easily a 10/10 coffee shop!! Impressive ambiance, service and amazing coffee!! I would duplicate this coffee shop in every city if I could! The free parking was a great touch. Thank you Bree for making my family's first trip in so amazing.

    Phenomenal, no notes. Was staying at the hotel across the street and decided to stop by for a light lunch. Got the turkey and brie sandwich (with salami instead of turkey because why not), sat at the bar & thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend for a date. Saw some people with their laptops working too. Gorgeous/classy vibe and decor. Food/service was great! Matcha latte was yummy. Their cocktail list looked super interesting would love to go back to try their pistachio martini.

    After visiting Nashville for the weekend, Lola's definitely stood out to me. A great location, my friends and I were able to walk there from where her apartment was located. Walking in, the ambience is one of a kind. I felt like I was transported from Nashville straight into Europe. The atmosphere was relaxed, and most people were on their laptops or enjoyed a calm brunch. Options on the menu are limited, but they're able to accommodate or switch out anything to make it more enjoyable for your experience. I had the prosciutto and pepper panini with no peppers and it was the best! You start by ordering at their counter right by their gelato, and the food will be delivered to your table. They have indoor seating, outdoor seating when entering, and bar seating. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The gelato looked delicious! They ended up giving my friend and I some samples of one of their raspberry flavors and I was not expecting to enjoy it. I will definitely be checking out their Asbury Park location back in Jersey to reminisce on my Nashville experience!

    Potato chip bumps, Last Word cocktail

    It's quiet, cozy, moody, giving NYC tavern vibes!! The perfect spot off Broadway away from the tourists to catch a cocktail or two. Large, free parking lot and also has a cute coffee/gelato bar for daytime visits. The perfect place to be able to "escape" Nashville for a night. Food selections are small bites, sandwiches, and salads. The caviar potato chip bumps were a fun twist! Can't wait to return

    Such a lovely little spot. It's so cute from the outside, and the moment you walk in it feels like you've been transported to a café in Europe. The vibe is cozy and charming. The coffee was excellent, and the lox and bagel were divine. Everything tasted fresh and well done. The baristas were welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better. I'm really curious to see what the bar scene is like here at night. I'll definitely be back!

    Food was absolutely delicious! We got the Italian flatbread with pepperoni and it was the best I've had in a while! Service was amazing as well. Super sweet girl helped us decide what to get!! Coconut gelato was also really good!! 10/10 would come back again!

    Super cute new addition to the Nashville restaurant and gelato scene. Located at the Broadway/West End split, there's an outdoor window for coffee and gelato service, a covered and fenced-in patio and comfy art deco-inspired benches, small tables and a plush bar. Especially love the library shelves and rolling ladder. They have wine and beer now and are waiting on liquor license. The original location is in Asbury Park, NJ and named for the owner's mom. They're known for their espresso martini and gelato drinks. The staff were lovely and the space is welcoming. Right now they're closing at 4 but will be open till midnight during the week and later weekends as soon as the license comes through. We will definitely be back!

    The vibes here are so nice. Their seasonal lattes are really good. They're also very dog friendly and offered my dog a pup cup.

We walked in around 5:00 PM, and there were very few people in the bar. We had a party of six, so we sat down at a table and waited.

Then came another long wait, we waited about 20 minutes just to get our drinks, even though the bar was nearly empty. On the bright side, the drinks were great. I ordered an El Carajillo, and it was really good! The horchata crème in it was SOOOO good and definitely the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the service issues continued. When the waitress brought the check for me to sign, I realized she had not returned my credit card. I had to track her down to get it back, and while doing so, I ran into another customer who had experienced the exact same thing. They have great drinks and normally provide a good experience, so hopefully this was just an off night. But on this particular Friday evening, with the bar barely occupied, the service definitely missed the mark.

    "This used to be Blend. What a spectacular collapse in standards…read more The space is still nice and the humidor selection is solid -- unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Staff at the humidor offered zero guidance or recommendations. Drinks were forgettable, and we had to fetch them ourselves from the bar like we were at a college sports pub instead of an upscale cigar lounge. Then came the cigars. We were left to cut and light them ourselves, which would've been fine if every disposable torch in the place wasn't nearly empty or completely out of butane. Nothing says 'premium lounge experience' quite like fighting for a working lighter. To top it off, the moment a large group walked in, the bartender started loudly screaming out drink orders across the room. The entire atmosphere instantly shifted from refined cigar lounge to livestock auction barn. This place is living off the reputation of what Blend used to be. If you're expecting an elevated experience, look elsewhere."
