What an awesome place. Plenty of veggie/vegan options. The workers were so awesome and just made our day!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I go to Cafe Tola at least once a week, and I always try to go when Erin is working! He is one of the consistently best and kindest baristas in which I have had the opportunity to meet. I absolutely love the Dulce de Leche latte, which is always consistently delicious! Erin is so friendly and always ensures that we are taken care of. The empanadas are delicious and such a nice treat! I recommend this Cafe Tola to anyone considering it :) Erin rocks!!

Fantastic empanadas. They were a hit with our group, and the coffee was good too.

Had a breakfast empanada and it was delicious (chorizo & egg but really like the jalepeno / pinto bean / cheese that my dad got). $6 felt a little steep, but worth it. Coffee was really good too. My family from out of town was impressed with the cute exterior and food!

so there I was: me, a simple suburbs lad, lost and confused at some bar in the city. we were at our third stop on our bar crawl. I had shown up late and missed dinner. I was tipsy, mildly scared, and hungry. it was getting later and later into the evening and I was worried that nowhere would have a kitchen open this late into the evening. luckily, this bar had a Cafe Tola empanada stand. at first, I was hesitant... surely anything served in this fancy Logan Square bar would be way overpriced, hoping to pick on less frugal, hungrier patrons for an easy buck. my will was not as strong as my stomach though, and after half an hour, I caved in, shuffling to the stand to check out the menu. to my surprise, they actually had a good vegetarian option, and the empanada was a pretty good size as well! For food served from a truck in a bar it was very satisfying, and I'd definitely like to visit a real Cafe Tola the next time I'm in the city!

Cutest little spot and the empanadas do not skimp out on filling. They actually have heat to them too! The guy behind the counter was so upbeat and the space itself is adorable.

I got the chicken buffalo empanadas and a lavender lemonade. The empanadas were fantastic. The meat wasn’t dry, it was well seasoned, and they do not skimp on the filling. The lemonade was ok, not sure I’d get it again. The inside was cramped, but they had cute outdoor seating that was great for groups of 4 or less

If you’re looking for a cute hole in the wall style place with authentic food and a colorful lively ambience this is the place for you. Its small but lively and the horchata iced coffee is to die for.

So good! Been here a few times and every empanada I've had has been delicious. I love the variety of flavors and I love that their menu changes so u always get to try something new. The outdoor space is really nice, too.

I tried this place randomly with a friend and I was blown away by how good the empanadas and coffee were. I got the molé empanada and it was really fresh and big. The horchata latte was also fantastic.
