Great place to work. Great food. Nice atmosphere especially during the weekday when it isn’t too busy. The place is divided into two separate sections. It is really nice since you can have a nice brunch experience or choose to use it as a work cafe depending on where you are located. I used it more as a work place so my review is more on that. The Curry Chicken Salad (Chicken Waldorf) was good (I think there is better but it was good for what it was) and couldn’t really complain with the side of chips. The ambiance was nice and would highly recommend here to come work or grab some brunch.

I ordered the mt hood Benedict for breakfast. I was really looking forward to trying this dish. Pulled pork with biscuits and gravy, how could that miss. It wasn't disgusting bad, it was dry and tasteless bad. I'm sure the gravy was homemade because it was so blan. Pulled pork was dried out and also lacked any flavor. I'm left confused about how this turned out so bad. Super bummed out. Great coffee, good atmosphere.

Wow! I can’t wait to come back here on my next trip up to Portland! That was the best blta I have ever had! Amazing coffee and incredible service! It was busy when I got here so there was a small wait for my food but I got my coffee within minutes so this was fine and geez was the food worth the wait! Can’t wait to bring my fiancé here on my next visit! *note that I did receive more chips than this I just ate some before taking the picture 😅* Changing my review from 5 to 3 stars. Very disappointed. Hours say they close at 4 but the stop serving food at 3??? Really?

Really good food. Had the Hood River Benedict, and the pulled pork was excellent with the nicely soft egg and thick gravy. The potatoes were a nice surprise with added flaky salt. Was surprised that the barista made a good macchiato and cortado. The large space is nicely broken up into three seating sections plus a small bar and outdoor seating, so it feels like a smaller restaurant. The only downside is the lack of parking, so ride share if you can.

The food is incredible but their hospitality when you question the portion is beyond my expectations. They remade my amazing brunch bowl and gave us a coffee card for next time for the wait. Seems like today they are dealing with 2 coffee grinders down during a busy Saturday brunch time. Thank you to this small business for keeping their head up during a hard day and also keeping customers happy. The food here is insane yummy 🤤

We were looking for a good place for coffee and food one morning last week. We found JoLa Cafe and decided to give it a try. Wow… we were quite pleased. Great cappuccinos, avocado toast, and a breakfast bowl. We will be back.

Great place to be productive. Very spacious with many outlets to charge. Coffee is solid but nothing special. The line had only 10 people in it but it took me 30 minutes for my turn to order. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with biscuit. For the price it was very disappointing. Eggs were a bit soggy but the biscuit was the real problem. It was both stale but completely crumbled before eating due to the soggy eggs. The biscuit was also a very small hotel breakfast type biscuit. Would not order again. I would come back again but online order or just be productive until the line gets shorter.
