JoLa. Coffee-Bar-Kitchen
5915 S Corbett Ave, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Hidden away in Portland, JoLa Café surprises visitors with its deceptively spacious, TARDIS-like interior that feels both charming and genuinely welcoming—a rare affordable refuge for lingering over coffee in the city. Their espresso-focused drinks showcase beautiful latte art, while the kitchen turns out crowd-pleasing favorites from creative breakfast burritos to avocado toast, making it equally beloved by solo coffee drinkers, families, and remote workers who keep coming back.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Opens early. Family friendly.

One of my favorite breakfast spots! We used to live nearby and walked here all the time, and even after moving, we still come back on the weekends because it’s just that good. The food is always delicious, with great gluten-free options, excellent coffee, and even kombucha on…

Stopped in today to work for a bit while my kiddo was busy doing something. Really nice place, the burrito was delicious with bunch of different hot sauce options. Way bigger inside than was expecting so was able to find place to sit no problem. Only reason not 5 star is the…
