"Located at 4280 S. Hualapai Way, Suite 109 near the intersection of Hualapai and Flamingo and next door to a Buffalo Wild Wings, I visited the 1,481-square-foot, European-inspired Cafe Lola, which arrived in Spring Valley later than originally planned and is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (closing at 3 p.m. on Sundays). The white-walled, pink-accented space is decorated with fresh flowers, marble tabletops and a vintage pink telephone—perfect for social-media snaps—and serves Intelligentsia Coffee creations alongside offerings aimed at 'high tea' and 'afternoon delights.' The current, waiting-to-expand menu includes a $9.18 "simply mixed" garden salad and a $10.18 "Hail Caesar," plus meat or cheese boards, Lola’s chips with French onion dip, breakfast sandwiches and an avocado toast called the Avocuddle, which is recommended to be paired with a rose tea latte and a rose macaron. By the glass there are champagne, wine and a lavender champagne cocktail, and the café also offers a wide range of teas, lattes, frappes and smoothies, including the "Gossip Girl" and the almond-butter-based "Queen B." - Bradley Martin
