I returned to Lola's after a gelato martini that lingered longer than expected--one of those drinks that quietly insists on a second visit. Morning had settled in, cool and unhurried. That's when I met Chloe. She made a latte with the kind of care you don't rush--smooth, warm, exact. The kind of drink that doesn't just wake you up, it steadies you. Outside, a light chill. Inside, calm. And somewhere in between, that first sip that resets everything. It wasn't just coffee. It was a moment--simple, deliberate, and done right read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

My favorite place for everything! Super fun to end a night out, get coffee in the morning, grab lunch, or a sweet treat! They have a dj sometimes and it was such great music and atmosphere. The Italian chopped sandwich is my favorite thing to eat there. The employees are so sweet and always remember you! Also a very cool and trendy event space decorated perfectly read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great place in a great location. Yum! I can't wait to go back for some more gelato. And what a great to go to after spending time downtown.

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! read more

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 read more

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! read more

Very cool & cozy little cafe off Broadway in Midtown that is perfect for a lunch spot or work meeting! Love the ambiance! Forgot to take a pic of their opening limited menu but they have light bites like chips & spinach dip, salad, sandwiches, Italian beer, coffee, pastries, & authentic Italian gelato made in-house just to name a few! I've heard liquor & wine is on the way as well. They have a bar area, indoor seating, & a nice outdoor patio area with additional seating when the weather is nicer. We ordered a couple sandwiches to share & got to sample a homemade mojito sorbet that they literally just created this morning! We'll be back to try more things! Staff were wonderful & so friendly. They also have a parking lot in the front of the building but during peak hours around noon, expect it to be full. read more

I've been wanting to try out Lola's for a long time and I finally got the chance to visit. It's such a cute spot to relax, alone or with a small group. I also noticed some people just stopped by for gelato to-go or were intently working on laptops. The food options are minimal but well done. I had a croissant sandwich which was an off menu special but it was very tasty; I would order it again. The drinks are really good and well balanced. I tried the "Last Word", if you're a fan of gin and tart drinks this one is definitely for you, reminiscent of a lemon drop martini. Also, there is a good mix of spritz options which falls in line with the European theme. The overall ambiance of Lola's is a vibe which makes it a repeat spot for me. read more

FINALLY GOT TO COME HERE AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. First of all, free parking? In Nashville? Sign me up! Second of all, the staff was all so friendly and I loved it. Thirdly, the decor and the space is GORGEOUS I highly recommend coming here to read or work. The music was a bit loud but the playlist was fire. I ordered the flatbread and added pepperoni and hot honey, oh my gosh it was delicious. Perfect size and amount of heat. The pepperoni was thinly sliced and delicious. My husband got the chopped Italian sandwich which was really good as well. I would love to come back for the gelato but I was stuffed after lunch. Their coffee was good too, I would recommend the amaretto hazelnut latte. There is patio seating in the front and back of the cafe as well as indoor seating and the garage. Such a cool spot and I highly recommend checking it out. read more

Went for GIRL DINNER and did not disappoint. This was walking distance from our hotel and the weather was awful. We got there after the bakery had closed, which was a small bummer, but we ordered a chacuterie plate to split a few cocktails and the vibes were excellent. read more

What a great spot! Met friends for coffee and brunch. Parking was free (such a rarity for places on broadway!). The menu had great options. All the pastries were fresh and delicious. The gelato looked really good (will definitely go back to try some!). Relaxed ambiance and the staff were so nice. Can't wait to go back. read more

Took a friend for lunch. What a treat. Parking was free, from what I could tell. There were spots until about 12:30. The small menu had great options. All the sandwiches were fresh and good. The gelato looked really good, as well. Nice ambiance, and the people taking the order were so nice. Really nice experience. read more

OK, first thing 1st is the ambience. I literally feel like I took a trip to Paris to Europe. And I love that they have a parking lot that makes it all the better because I was concerned at first, thankfully that it's not an issue. Back to the ambience I absolutely love that. This is super European inspired even the outdoor is so cute. They have a cute little window but once you go inside, everything is just so thoughtfully curated so nice so pleasant everything about it. I just really enjoyed so very detailed. The only issue I have which isn't a big one. I just find that the ordering encounter is somewhat in an odd area because if there's a line it kind of gets cluttered right at the entrance, but that's not their fault at all. I really hope that that's something that they can work out. It just gets severely congested once you walk into the door if there is a line of course but if you go on a good day, you shouldn't have that issue of course that's usually a Friday or Saturday when I have experienced that. Outside of that absolutely no complaints. Drinks were amazing. I always get an iced oat milk latte. and My Daughter always get the Matcha latte super good. We've also tried the prosciutto sandwich and the salad the Caesar salad super good. The bar is so cute. I can't wait to go later in the night when they serve the drinks I haven't done that yet, but I look forward to doing that like I said no complaints other than that's minor detail but outside of that I recommend. read more

I love Lola's cafe. Whenever I go I usually get the Turkey Brie sandwich - it has a super tasty jam. Wait staff is friendly and service is fairly quick. Ambiance is a cool vibe! Im not crazy about their gelato which is why I didn't give them the full 5 stars. read more

Came here specifically for the homemade gelato. Unfortunately only a handful of flavors were left by 2pm, but I ended up getting strawberry and my husband got the Captain Crunch which tasted just like it! We desperately needed a good gelato place in Nashville and I'm so glad they're here. The indoor seating was taken, so we went out to the back covered patio where there are plenty of tables. The cafe is beautiful and attached to OneGarage which was also a draw as two car people. read more

If you have restrictions about working from a coffee shop they should be posted on your website. Two people were planning on getting full lunch and drinks and could not use laptops at the table during our meal. Posted not allowed 11am-1pm. Space next door is also a private club with no access. 4 seats at the bar only allowed for laptop use. Barista was not accommodating at all despite it being only 30 minutes to 'laptop time' We left. read more

Lola's European Cafe is the best place I've ever been in my entire life. It just smells like home. The entire staff is well-mannered, attentive and nice to look at. I don't drink. They don't care. They make mocktails that rival the best of them. Truly an unforgettable experience 7 days a week. I have heard rumblings of a potential Lola's Cantina- and let's just say I'm hooked already. We will just have to wait and see what the future holds. read more

Cool atmosphere and GREAT customer service by Chloe!!!!!!!! (85 character minimum)))

Spectacular! I sat at the bar and the bartender took such pleasure in sharing with me about the restaurant that I asked if it was his. He let me know that it wasn't but he was a manager out there. I can honestly tell you that I've never met a manager that took the same pride in his restaurant as this guy. I had a tequila & pineapple, delicious! Dinner was Turkey, Brie & caramelized onions, delicious. Really happy I just happened to walk down the street and find this place. read more

Reminds of living in Spain and frequenting Paris, Munich, and occasionally Eastern Europe. Lovely staff.

Stopped in here a couple Saturday's ago for gelato- man! Was it ever delicious! Highly recommend!

We stumbled across this place by the hotel we were staying. Incredible food and service.
