JoLa is a corner cafe just miles from the Willamette. We stopped in for brunch on the 4th of July so we were glad they were open for a couple hours on a holiday! It's a quant inside, no A/C inside so really warm in the summer but I get it. The way you order was interesting. Not sure if it was just because it was so slow but didn't have anyone walk up to our table and it was not clear where to order. You can to walk around a corner inside the get to the coffee bar/ordering area. I got a mocha which was the best part for me. Not sure what grounds they use but I was really impressed. For brunch I got the Southwest Burrito and it was alright. I was hoping for a little better quality, but nothing special to note. Overall glad I went there & again, very appreciative of the staff for being open on a holiday!

Since growing and adding much more food (taking over Corbett Fish House space) Jola is a fab place to not only have a cuppa joe n breakfast - its much bigger and you can have a table for hours. Expanded menu! Even better food (recommend if you have avacado toast sandie, NOT on biscuit - tho it looks purdy, better on croissant!). They also serve alcohol now and have a happy hour i think!

One of the best cafes I've been to in terms of quality and variety of foods and drinks! This place is in a peaceful neighborhood of John's Landing. From the outside it may seem like a small spot but I was surprised how much seating there was inside with multiple floors! The vibe inside is very cozy and spacious. I opted to dine in so they called out your name once your drink was ready and then brought the food out to you wherever you're sitting afterwards. The cappuccino was made quickly and it was delicious! I also got the Belmont burrito which had egg, potatoes, avocado, black beans, arugula, and cheese. It was super tasty and filling! Might be my go-to order from now on :) The salsa on the side was also perfectly spicy. Can't wait to come back!

This place is a wonderful speciality cafe during the week, but does not make speciality drinks properly over the weekend when it is overrun for brunch. I love Jola and will continue coming here very often, but I've unfortunately learned to avoid coming for cappuccinos on the weekend because they're not made right and veer straight into rip-off territory for almost $5 when it's a dollop of foam in the center of an espresso shot. Perfect drinks during the week and then it devolves fully for the weekend shift, might as well go to any mom & pop coffee shop then. Like, I just saw a bad one being served and got out of line & left to go somewhere else.

My go-to coffee spot is also a legitimately solid lunch destination, with a good selection of fresh, generously-portioned bowls, salads, sandos and burritos to go along with your Americano or latte. The space is choppy - three separate rooms actually - but it's still a quite airy and spacious space with good light and a chill vibe if you just wanna come work on your laptop. There's usually local art on the walls, various magazines to read, and a couple of outside tables if you're so inclined. They have smoothies and pastries too and the service is always prompt - and with a smile. I feel like it's a great community gathering spot too, with a really down-to-earth atmosphere. Happy that this friendly, delish and well-run cafe is in the neighborhood, and major props for maintaining the vibe of the historic building it's in.

Enjoyed a good dose of Portlandian spring air this morning at JoLa Café. Selected "The Country" burrito but had it as a bowl instead of a wrap. Very good and I will probably steal their cool idea of green chili sour cream! The salsa was also homemade with flecks of fresh cilantro and onion, it was very delicious. To wash this down I had an iced mocha which was equally primo, and I wish I would've requested a larger size. My brunch partner liked the sausage egg croissant sandwich and commented that the tomato jam made it taste unique. I noted a lot of adult bevs on the menu including mimosas, Irish coffee, hot toddy, and bloody Mary's. This is a neighborhood gem in Corbett, I loved how it was off Macadam just enough so as not to hear the traffic. It's quiet and peaceful outside the cafe. My family and I will definitely be coming back.

This cafe is excellentttttt wow. Went to lunch here and it was the perfect spot! Great outdoor seating, spacious interiors for studying, working eating, etc and overall a relaxing experience. The food was stunning too. This salad was perfection - warm and flavorful chicken on a bed of soft coins cous and crunch from the almonds, muah. The truffle fries were an excellent addition too! Quick service, all in all no complaints just praise. Can't wait to come again - a must visit , seriously.
