| - The west side definitely needs more coffee shops, and Yola's has some great potential to fit the bill. It has great atmosphere and varied seating, including various cafe tables, a few outdoor patio tables, and more comfortable spots near the fire. There is also a corner where kids can play, which isn't something I need but which would definitely be nice for those who do.
The person we ordered from seemed somewhat new and unsure of herself, but she was very friendly and was able to get our order correctly and delivered in a timely manner.
We sampled a Belgian waffle with chocolate chips (which was tasty) and a chocolate frappe and hot chocolate (both of which were nothing special). I'd have to try more food items to get a more solid feel for the food and drinks.
My biggest concerns about Yola's have to do with the hours. I spend most of my time at coffee shops on Sundays in preparation for Monday due-dates, so the fact that it isn't open at all on Sunday is a big loss. Similarly, it would be a great venue for Friday or Saturday-night music or other acts, but the hours are pretty limited. Additionally, even though it is not evident in the decor or other areas, Yola's plays very obvious Christian music, which isn't my "cup of tea," as they say.
