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. The owners, Matt and Ava, are often there themselves, making sure everything runs smoothly and that every customer feels taken care of. 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.

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.

My husband and I decided on Corky's for dinner tonight. After a long day at work for me and a long…read morework out session for my husband we decided we deserved a treat. It always amazes me how utterly MASSIVE the portions are. I was glad I ordered the soup/salad/bread combo since my husband's plate of fried chicken was just BIG. It was half a chicken (leg, wing, breast and thigh) perfectly juicy and crispy, along with mashed potatoes and gravy with a side of jalapeño corn bread. Even with two people we still couldn't finish everything. They do not compromise on taste at all even with the portion size. Shout out to our server Alfredo for the fried chicken recommendation. He was right, it was well worth the calories for sure. He was super attentive and friendly when we were there, great guy to chat with. Take some time to check out this place, its well worth it. If you are a fan of a dinner ambiance this place has it. Great to bring a big group of people to hang out.

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.

The location itself was easy to find and had lots of accessible parking. There was a good amount of seating and a gender neutral bathroom. And there was music playing, some board games, and the place was very clean. The food was great; the onigiri had a solid amount of filling and the rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The poke bowl customizations were great and also a solid grab. The prices were affordable and I recommend coming here for a quick bite with a good amount of variety. The drinks were a but underwhelming, and could definitely use some more of the flavor that they said they were (I.e. lychee, lavender). I would definitely come back again to give their drinks a second chance. There aren't too many good onigiri options elsewhere and their midnight closing time on Friday and Sunday has been very convenient.
