| - Thank you, Lulu's, for baking the most delicious guava croissants! I usually request a guava and cream cheese turnover from my favorite Cuban bakery in south Florida when my parents come to Las Vegas for a visit, so it is nice to have a little taste of home just minutes away when I crave it.
I'm also in love with their loaves of chocolate bread. They do offer chocolate muffins, but the cocoa-colored yeast dough loaded with rich, dark chocolate chips and dried cherries is a real treat. It would make amazing bread pudding if you find yourself with leftovers, but that is an unlikely occurrence, unless you plan ahead and buy extra! I enjoyed the cannoli embedded in the center of the cannoli cupcake, but the cake itself could have been more flavorful. Their regular coffee is tasty and strong, which I certainly appreciate.
The manager, chef, and employees are very friendly and enthusiastic, which enhances the experience. The cafe is attached to Metro Pizza in the northwest. I love the look of the brick walls and chandelier on the ceiling, but the large windows make some of the seating uncomfortable. I felt like I needed to wear sunglasses inside the dining area. I'm excited to return and sample a sandwich and some sides from their lunch menu! Lulu earns extra cookie points for her kids' happy hour, with half price cookies and milk from 2:30pm to 4:00pm.
