Ola Café
112 Broadway, Medford, MA
Crema's Take
“This tiny but mighty Medford gem pulls serious espresso shots that taste like actual coffee, not the watered-down disappointment you'd get elsewhere—reviewers rave about legit lattes that keep them coming back two days in a row. Beyond the exceptional coffee, Ola thoughtfully accommodates allergies and pairs each cup with a stellar selection of baked goods and full breakfast options, all served in a cozy, dog-friendly space that punches above its weight despite the compact footprint.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Despite its small size, this cozy cafe offers a charming and cozy atmosphere. The iced latte I had was perfectly balanced in sweetness and strength orange juice my boyfriend ordered was equally refreshing. They offer a selection of pastries, including enticing Portuguese egg…
