"Walking past JoLa Cafe — a portmanteau of John’s Landing, the southernmost section of the South Waterfront — it might be easy to mistake it for another sleek, cozy Portland coffee shop, serving espresso drinks and a handful of pastries that are long gone by noon. Step inside and find a sprawling space, with tables spread across multiple sunny dining rooms, and espresso drinks complemented by an expansive breakfast, lunch, and alcoholic beverage menu. With such ample real estate — including picnic table seating outside — JoLa is a perfect spot for remote workers to camp out on a weekday and a spontaneous brunch destination on weekends." - Rebecca Roland, Nathan Williams
