The food is consistently delicious, and the pastries are absolutely amazing--always fresh and hard to resist. What really sets this place apart, though, is the service.

They are incredibly warm, personable, and genuinely invested in creating a great experience. I've had the pleasure of watching Lola's grow over nearly a decade, and it's been amazing to see how they've built such a loyal community. They're not just a local café--they're part of the neighborhood, always involved and making everyone feel like family. I'm a very happy, loyal customer and can't recommend Lola's enough.

My son wanted to come back and we got the Korean bbq bowl too Lastly bonus for the store taking online orders, responding to texts, and being very kind when I was lost and couldn't find the place and had to come back the next day to get my food. They were so gracious about the whole thing. Plus they are next to Oslo Coffee, which is another great spot so all the more reason to go there. Plenty of free parking too, and they're open late unlike so many places nearby.

Twenty minutes later--at 7:35 pm--I was still waiting with nothing but repeated apologies. What frustrates me most is the lack of honesty. If they had been upfront and told me it would take another 20 minutes, I could have run an errand or waited elsewhere instead of standing around getting increasingly annoyed. On top of that, when I finally received the order, the food wasn't properly placed in the bag. The bag was covered in grease and everything was messy, making a poor end to an already frustrating experience. Beyond disappointed. For a restaurant dealing with hot food and timed pickups, basic honesty about delays and better attention to packaging would go a long way

We kicked things off with the bone in hot wings and the spinach artichoke dip. The wings were juicy with just the right amount of heat and the dip came with pink chips which felt festive and fun without being over the top. The heart shaped pizza was a moment and came with a Caesar salad that was actually really good. Crisp lettuce, solid dressing, and not just something thrown on the plate. My favorite dish though was the heart shaped ravioli. They were loaded with cheese but somehow still felt balanced and not too heavy. The sauce was rich and comforting and the bread on the side made it impossible not to clean the plate. We tried all three Valentine's drinks and each one was a hit. Berry Be Mine was fruity and easy to sip, Kiss Me I'm Tart was exactly what it sounds like, and the Ex-presso Martini was smooth and not overly sweet. Dessert sealed the deal. The warm cookie with strawberry ice cream was the perfect cozy ending and honestly worth ordering even if you are already full. Overall Selma's really nailed the Valentine's vibe while still delivering on flavor. Everything felt thoughtful, shareable, and perfect for a date night or a fun night out. I would absolutely come back, especially when they roll out seasonal menus like this.

I am writing to report a very disappointing experience my family and I recently had at the 25612…read moreCrown Valley Parkway Ladera Ranch, CA location. The evening before my brother's fiancée's birthday, my parents and I visited the store to order a cake for the celebration. We were assisted by an employee named Aiden. From the beginning, he showed little to no customer service--there was no greeting, friendliness, or engagement during the interaction. Despite this, we continued with the order and specifically requested a fresh cake to be picked up the following day at 3:00 PM. The next day, when my mother and brother went to pick up the cake, my mother noticed that the display cake that had been in the case the previous evening was no longer there. She asked Aiden if the cake he gave them was the display cake. Instead of responding, he simply stared at her and did not answer the question. My brother also noticed the lack of basic customer service and found the interaction very strange and unprofessional. Later that day, we brought the cake home and served it during the celebration. As soon as we cut into it, everyone noticed the cake was very different and tasted horrible. It tasted stale and dry. The strawberries were very mushy and smelled spoiled. None of us finished our cake slices and still have a large portion remaining. The following day, I called the store to explain the situation. A female employee answered the phone and told me she was busy with customers but would call me back shortly to sort out the issue. About 30 minutes later, I received a call back, and it was Aiden again. I explained everything that happened, but once again he showed no concern, empathy, or professionalism. When I asked about my mother's question regarding whether the cake was the display cake, he claimed he "didn't hear" her question. He did not apologize for the experience and simply offered a free slice of cake as compensation. My family and I have purchased cakes from this location several times before and have always enjoyed both the quality of the cakes and the customer service. In fact, my family has owned restaurants and businesses ourselves, so we understand very well how important customer service and quality are in the hospitality industry. This is not the way customers should be treated, which is why this experience was so disappointing to us. This is the first time we have ever had to complain. We were very surprised that a cake we specifically requested to be fresh tasted bad and have been displayed for days. Aiden also mentioned that cakes and pastries can remain out for up to two days, which was concerning given the quality we experienced. We truly loved this location and had always enjoyed coming here in the past. Unfortunately, what could have been a small issue turned into a very negative experience due to the lack of professionalism, communication, and customer care from the manager on duty. Because of this experience, my family and I will no longer be returning to this location in the future. I hope this issue can be addressed so other customers do not experience the same situation.

The inside is so bright, airy and clean with plenty of seating options. I love that it's near Stater Bros, so I can easily grab groceries and pick up a treat for myself because some days, you just need something sweet. The pastries are clearly labeled with a short description. It's nice that they include a list of ingredients, which I find helpful for those who may have allergens that is often overlooked or just as a nice to know. Every time I pick up a tray, I feel compelled to fill it, but I try to limit to 2-3 items. Occasionally, we'll splurge with a half dozen haha. Some of our favorites have been palmier, milk bread, fruit tart and egg tarts. For savory items, I love the pastry frank and curry croquette. It seems like they started expanding more of their menu with seasonal items such as such as pizettas and fall vibes with biscoff and pumpkin flavored things. In a recent trip, I was interested in trying the cherry danish, but I apparently picked up the blueberry instead. The cashier offered to swap it out and explained the nuances in design that differentiated the two options, but I declined since I liked blueberry. That just means I have to go back!
