Cozy and comfortable venue. The building is fascinating. They have a nice compact menu of drinks and side dishes to enjoy before/during a show. Friendly volunteers and staff, overall a very positive experience!

A small, historic venue (dating back to 1960), with wonderful acoustics and friendly staff. They have both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, along with light bites and a lovely dessert menu. Went there for the first time to see Chatham County Line, it was very special to see them in such an intimate and legendary venue!!

What a treat to visit this beautifully restored, historic folk music venue. Lovely setting, excellent service, great acoustics, and we saw Archie Fischer and Garnet Rogers on their "Farewell" Tour! Excellent in every way!

Saw Sirsy. Great performance! There are about 25 tables that seat 4 to 5 each. Small stage. Good sound system. Great vibe. Limited menu but food is good. Quite a bit of parking, some on street, 1 street level lot with a few handicap spots about 1 block away, good sized 2 level parking garage about 2 blocks away. It's a folk music icon.

Not a bad seat in the house. You can feel Lena's spirit and hear great music - what could be better? Just saw Red Molly. Unbelievable show! Thank you, Caffe Lena's. 6/25 Nothing better for beating the COVID blues!! Just saw Carolyn Wonderland, Shelley King, Kevin Lance, and Naj Conklin. Unbelievable show - still vibrating with happiness. Thank you, Lena's. So great to attend live performances again!

I love this place for its quality performers and intimate atmosphere! As inspiring today as it was when I first disovered it in 1975!

What a wonderful venue for live music. So many different shows and so much support for artists everywhere. There are programs that support children - encouraging them to become involved with music. It's the oldest running coffee house in the country, begun in 1960 (?) It's been re-imagined and they've done a great job. Staff is very friendly, space is open and welcoming. There is a nice little menu to order from. I was impressed to see that they still have the original wood doors - though now they use them as decoration - so much history, highly recommended.

We had a great time! The menu was limited, but we weren't there for the food. We just got quesadillas and drinks and some nice Music. Everybody was friendly, both patrons and staff. Parking in the area was a bit difficult, but that was expected on a Friday night at 7 o'clock with the racetrack being open.
