Well.. i love the space. It feels like a fresher, newer LUX. EVerythings \"newer\"..that's the only real difference (oh..and it;s 3 blocks over). Same varied array of mid-century modern tables and chairs. Original artwork spread thru-out. I've heard it the same original owners of LUX so it makes sense. Even the espresso tastes like LUX.. which i don;t care for really.. tastes burnt. I love my espresso... but not here nor there.\n\ni love the space, its convenient, evreyone was friendly but (BIG BUT).. they close at 7pm Here's why i find it a problem... .Near a big High Rise, off the light rail (central and c-back).. so I would assume the majority of the crowd would prefer showing up, having a copa de cafe', enjoy some wi-fi surfing, mingle with friends.. but... how can I if i get off work at 5... i;m home by 5:30... freshen up at home.. it';s now 6.... i walk to Lola... its now 6:15... I order my coffee... it;s ready.. i sit down.. it;s 6:30, I now have 30 minutes to enjoy my espresso read the paper or check my email. \n\nbut hey, that;s just me. \n\nwhy do I give it 4 stars u may ask... again.. i love the space, the people, the art.. the furniture.. and most importantly I love small local business.\n\n\nPLEASE STAY OPEN LATER! (and reconsider your espresso bean)
