Lola's European Cafe

Atmosphere was amazing, very laid-back luxury vibe. Service was quick and friendly, which made it easy to just relax and enjoy the space. I had the seasonal item, a grilled cheese with tomato soup. It was good and had a great cheese pull. The coffee was solid as well. Really liked the vintage cars and motorcycles inside, they add a lot of character to the place and make it feel unique. Overall, a great spot to hang out and enjoy good food and coffee.

Luxury atmosphere, friendly servers and great food. It is a cozy space but there is outdoor dining. The gelato was excellent and croissant was warm. I felt like I was in Italy! 🇮🇹

The staff is friendly and chatty. The entire place is so cute and good for friends hanging out or date. The ice cream seems delicious I didn’t try it but I will next time. The matcha latte is so good. Will definitely come back.

What a lovely surprise this place was! The Lavender Matcha Oat Milk — AMAZING — and the almond croissant was absolutely delicious! Got to meet the owner, Joe, who was so kind and welcoming. 10/10 experience, can’t wait to come back!

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!

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!

First, I want to say that La Lola’s has some of the best gelato I’ve had in Nashville, which is why we come here at least once or twice a week. That’s also why I confidently brought friends from out of town and hyped it up for its generous portions. Unfortunately, tonight was a complete letdown. The servings were shockingly small and honestly embarrassing. We ordered a medium cup with two flavors, yet the portions looked smaller than a small and didn’t even fill the cup. It was awkward having to explain to my guests why what I bragged about didn’t match what was served. This experience was incredibly disappointing. I might consider returning, but only if I’m served by a more hospitable staff member.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

Staff is nice & quick. The matcha was really good, so was the coffee! I'd love to come back for a cocktail at some point because the ambience was great!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

This place is adorable! The bar is beautiful and the entire ambiance is so unique! The kale Caesar salad was AMAZING! I even got one to go because it was that good. We got the flatbread and added ricotta and it was very good! The tomato and mozzarella sandwich was so fresh. All the food was perfect for a lunch. They even have seating outside! The gelato is DELICIOUS. The service was great. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back and I recommend Lola's to anyone and everyone in the area!

Coffee is great. Food is great. Service is great. There's parking. Didn't wait long on a to go order. I haven't tried the gelato but it looks amazing. And the vibes are amazing.

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.

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.

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.

Great atmosphere! Food was delicious. Drinks are reasonably priced. Lots of seasonal and specialty drinks too. We had the pleasure of having Jack as our bartender/server. Great convo and we felt right at home at the bar. We'll definitely be back!!!

Great service, food was okay, and the ambience was amazing. Great place to have a quick lunch, and the atmosphere is great for a business meeting.

Cute spot! The menu is simple but great light lunch options. I ordered the turkey Caesar salad croissant sandwich and a yummy matcha. The gelato options look good. Seating available indoors and outdoor. Parking is available and also free. Service was very pleasant.

Wow. Just WOW! Truly transported to Europe in this classy and beautiful cafe. Food was insanely delicious and honestly the best euro sandwich I had in the states. The gelato made for the PERFECT after brunch treat and the assortment of flavors were incredible.

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.

Absolutely the best gelato and cappuccino I've ever had. Seriously! It is sooo good! And our server was super sweet. Great chill atmosphere. I'd highly recommend.

Atmosphere is awesome and it's just a really unique vibe. Excellent food, gelato, and coffee. Definitely worth a visit.

Second time to Lola's. Great food great ambience, service super friendly. Dog friendly place. Gelato's are perfection!

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.

Great food / some very unusual culinary delights! Friendly staff, great service and what a fun place. Definitely returning - don't miss the caviar!!!!

Neatly designed place. Coffee was great (got a mocha latte...smooth taste so really enjoyed it)! As I told the guy that owns the place the flatbread was just right in taste and didn't leave me feeling heavy....I highly recommend trying it. We tried the strawberry ice cream and pineapple gelato and it was refreshing and the strawberry and pineapple stood out which is what one would want to see. I'm not one to post on a restaurant but was very impressed with the place....all around atmosphere with staff, decoration and food. Cool place that one should take a friend and enjoy the moment!

This is such a unique place that has unbelievable ambiance. The food was fabulous. The service was so friendly and helpful that you want to come back again & again. The Gelato was unbelievably good. Lola's European Cafe has set the bar high for upclass cafes.
