| - Lola's is a fantastic addition to the uptown Phoenix community. The coffee is solid, and the baked goods are stellar, thanks to Danielle from Sweet Pea.
Given their lineage and proximity, comparisons between Lux and Lola and inevitable. Based on my experience and observations, Lux is the place of choice for Gen Y'ers and Lola is the place for Gen Xers. and Boomers. As I fit into the second category, my preference is for Lola's. I find it slightly more relaxed and open -- the windows on the two sides create a light an airy atmosphere, and the layout feels less cluttered. The music also seems suited to a thirty something crowd...
The furniture is a great fit with the mid-century bones of its locations, and the have a great reading selection, including books, magazines and, most importantly, the NYT!
Overall a great place to spend some time working, contemplating the universe, or getting caught up with a friend. 4.45 stars.
