Olala Cafe is a recent addition to the downtown Nashville cafe scene, with croissants that regulars describe as genuinely French rather than an approximation of the style. The room is small and European in feel, cozy and unhurried compared to the bigger coffee spots nearby.
Part of the draw is the direct, personal service — the kind of place where the person behind the counter is often the owner, and that warmth has become as much a part of the experience as the baking itself.
