Lolina Vintage Café

"This hipster little bar is cluttered with vintage furniture (each table is surrounded by eclectic, mismatched chairs) set in front of a backdrop of '60s-style wallpaper. They actually serve food and cocktails all day, but we like it best for drinks in the evening, when the relaxed vibe lends itself nicely to snuggling up on one of the cozy leather couches in the back. It can get a little crowded after dinner, so be prepared to wait if you arrive late. "

"At Lolina Vintage Cafe, the groovy wallpaper, flamboyant table lamps, and mismatched sofas are a time warp to the '60s. Aside from the oldies emanating from the speakers and the click-clack of laptop keyboards, it's pretty quiet in here. Slouchy, elbow-worn armchairs invite unhurried hours of reading, chatting, and coffee-sippin. If you're a coffee geek with a penchant for pour-over brews and unpronounceable single-origin beans, look elsewhere; instead, go for a perfect cafés con leche. Come here to exhale after a long day of sightseeing, or to grab a nosh on a free afternoon. The antithesis of austere, Nordic-style cafés, Lolita is all cozy, grandmotherly charm." - Benjamin Kemper
