It certainly is! I love their Gyro and their Chicken Del Sol.

Pita Jungle is a beautiful thing———–especially next to a coffeehouse

Just 24 hours later, Yuri Artibise, a tireless urbanist voice for Phoenix, has posted a more detailed history of the Gold Spot building: http://bit.ly/5DIp49

It’s about time that corner came to life. Interesting how the color already matched the Lola brand.

Nice coverage of the opening. Wish I could have been there. The Gold Spot was one of the original markets in Phoenix. See this article for a little more background: http://bit.ly/5zIkfL

Great news about the Ace Hardware store. I had missed that detail. The explosion of new restaurants and coffee houses Downtown is great, but the area also needs basic retailers like hardware stores. Besides, Ace Hardware has a neighborhood feel that is much more compatible with the area than Home Depot.

Finally, in addition to the parking options noted, both Lola locations are a short 1/4 mile walk from light rail stations. In the case of the new Lola, the nearby station is Roosevelt/Central.
