“Lola Beans is a cheerful drive-thru gem that's become Chattanooga's go-to spot for creative, fun-forward drinks that prioritize flavor over pretension—think Starburst and Candy Crush energy drinks alongside seasonal favorites like their beloved Christmas Crack. The team here moves fast and treats every order with genuine warmth, making it the perfect place to grab something delicious whether you're rushing out the door or looking for a local favorite to fuel your travels.”

I can't say enough good about this place! I am absolutely obsessed with their energy drinks (I personally recommend the starburst, the seasonal caramel apple, and candy crush flavors) and I love the variety of year round and seasonal flavor combinations. Their drinks were a morning must-have for me when I worked in the area. The employees are beyond sweet, and the service is usually very quick even with a long line. I've definitely got quite a few friends and family members hooked on Lola Beans, and will continue to recommend them as a great local small business to support!
Great little drive-by coffee. This area in town doesn’t have many small coffee shops so having a spot like Lola Beans is really nice. The coffee isn’t super artisanal and high-brow or anything, but it’s completely solid and delicious, and I love that they do soda/energy drinks too. Sometimes you just want something different, and it’s really convenient for people with different tastes in the same car to make their own drinks with the custom syrups. The service is super friendly every single time and I always drive away happy. Worth driving out a little bit, it’s our go-to spot near gunbarrel, definitely much better than Starbucks.
This drive thru is adorable and the coffee I got tasted super authentically natural. 🤎☕️🧋The service was very fast, nice, and patient. Definitely delicious and a recommended go to over and over. The golden bean flavor is 🔥!! Update: The guy that made my coffee today handed me my coffee without lining the cup with caramel and then I asked if it had caramel as the girl who took my order repeated back to me what I ordered and that was on it. He takes the cup back and puts drizzle on it and then I drove away and then tasted my coffee and realized they also didn’t put golden bean flavor in it. When you give the top tip option and get undetail oriented service, treating me like you think I don’t know what coffee I’m tasting….I think people will think twice about the customer service experience here if it happens over n over. Please do better. It’s usually perfect.
I love looking for local coffee shops to try out a mocha when we travel. I got the Christmas crack and it was delicious! We also tried the starburst lemonade, which pretty much tasted like a strawberry starburst in liquid form 😋 Definitely recommend!
Very cute little coffee shop! It caught my attention as I was driving by and I pulled a U-turn because I had to try it! They had drive thru service which was speedy and the staff were all super friendly. The coffee was tasty and very strong. I got a large latte with almond milk and it came to $5 which is the standard price for a hand crafted drink. I will come back!
