"I've been going to Zola's cafe for almost 6 years now. Their coffee has always been on point, and the baked goods are just awesome. I never thought to post a review until now. The current owner, Matt, introduced some changes. I only recently discovered that Matt makes some of the best soup you can get in Auburn. Or anywhere really. There's always great artwork on the walls, and fine tunes on the wire. But during these cold months, let me tell you - a bowl of any soup that Matt makes is going to warm your bones and feed your soul. They have nice salads too. Grab your bestie and make it a date."

"We were driving thru Auburn last week and decided to stop into Zolas for a quick lunch. It was a wonderful experience!! The food was very very good. A couple of us had different Paninis-- ( I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Italiano Panini) and one of us had a salad. I very much appreciated the very pleasant atmosphere and the excellent service. BOTTOM LINE--A VERY NICE 5 STAR EXPERIENCE!"

"I was working in the area and on a whim stopped in to check out the lunch options. To my surprise I have encountered the BEST chicken salad sandwich I have experienced to date. Service with a smile and good conversation as well as in a timely manner. I will return here frequently."

"Not terrible, but not anything that special either. Three of us came in (an all female group, will be relevant) and ordered drinks and food. My wife's food was very bland to us, and mine was fine, but it felt like ingredients just lying around tossed together than anything planned out. The drinks also seemed smaller than 12 ounces, but they were in mugs, and the coffee was pretty good. The person taking our order (forgot their name, but had a cool septum piercing) was nice, but the other worker was very short and silent with us. We noticed when a male came in, she was super flirty and friendly with him though. All in all, not for us, but I wouldn't say others shouldn't try it if they feel it's what they would like, and I wouldn't fault anyone that does like it."

"As a resident of Auburn, I've driven by Zola's a number of times, but it wasn't until a friend of mine suggested we meet there that I tried it. The gluten free options are AMPLE - most of their menu can be gluten free, all the sandwiches and most of the pastries! SCORE! I tried the BLT and green salad. The gluten free bread was great, sandwich was warm and the salad good. I'll DEFINITELY be back to try the pastries and coffees! Thank you for offering so many gluten free options. Service was fast. THIS is my new Auburn lunch spot!!!!"
