Ola Cafe

About

Ola Cafe is a bistro in East Somerville that brings the tastes of a European cafe to the neighborhood. Its counter offers coffee and Portuguese-inspired baked goods, ranging from banana bread to torta de leche. For something heartier, the kitchen makes build-your-own breakfast sandwiches, such as egg and cheese on a croissant or English muffin, along with thick stacks of french toast made to order.

The cafe describes itself as a welcoming, community-centered space, and one customer calls it a great neighborhood spot where the staff are always super friendly. Guests can stop in for a quick coffee and a pastry, or stay, sit at the window counter with a meal and watch the world pass by. The cafe signs off its welcome with “Saude,” a Portuguese toast to good health.
