LOLA JEAN'S GIVEBACK COFFEE
You’ll never want to leave Lola Jean’s bright, sunny interior. Huge windows let natural light stream in, illuminating hanging plants, plush couches and a lemon-themed mural sure to please any Beyoncé fan. Classic espresso drinks and cold brew on tap are made with Kaldi’s coffee beans, and you can spike any beverage with house-made syrups. Keep it familiar with vanilla or try more interesting flavors like ginger-clove-maple in a loose-leaf teas or chai lattes. Sister restaurant and neighbor Russell’s on Macklind provides the pastries like savory scones flecked with herbs, cheese and garlic and sweet treats like soft chocolate chip cookies — the ideal partner for a cortado. And since all proceeds benefit local nonprofits, you’ll feel even better about purchasing that extra cookie.
