Dive into the coquette craze with specialty cocktails and lounges in Las Vegas

Viral trends on social media simply cannot be avoided these days—unless you are, wink, wink, anti-social. One of the big trends lately is the “coquette” look and lifestyle—very cutesy, very demure. Think floral, fairy tale, dreamy, charming, feminine, pearls, lace and bowties. So, we decided to lean into it, Vegas-style, and found five hot spots on the Strip where you can indulge and imbibe in the most coquettish fashion.

Café Lola

The Forum Shops at Caesars. 725.696.5658. ilovecafelola.com

Perhaps the most coquette of all the spots on the Las Vegas Strip, Café Lola at The Forum Shops at Caesars is a fairy-tale-styled experience in both décor and dining. The menu is overflowing with delicious options—especially the selection of specialty lattes Café Lola is famous for. Don’t miss the honey lavender latte, Lola’s signature vanilla rose latte and the golden milk latte. Café Lola also offers a cutesy mimosa flight with five flavors, including grapefruit, original, blood orange, butterfly tea and strawberry, and white peach. (This is so good you won’t want to put it down!) Desserts and small plates round out the menu, and you can even order tea served in the most darling china. The décor of Café Lola really zeros in on the viral coquette sensation, though. The space is filled to the brim with flowers and floral walls, pink running through every furnishing and textile throughout the space, gold flower designs on beverage items and food and drinks made in the cutest presentations. Feminine and frilly, Café Lola is the ideal spot to celebrate the coquette craze.

Primrose

Park MGM. 702.730.6600. parkmgm.mgmresorts.com

Have you stepped inside a cute cottage set within the English countryside? You'll feel like you have at Primrose, a restaurant and bar with charming décor filled with coquette touches. Take a seat inside the lounge area and order the beautiful, purple-hued Lavender Sgroppino, a mix of Absolut Elyx vodka, lavender syrup, prosecco, crème de violette and a scoop of lemon sorbet that sends the cocktail’s flavor over the top. The lounge is styled with a mock fireplace lit with candles and petite tables and high-back lounge chairs covered in floral-patterned fabrics—yes, the perfect cutesy background for your coquettish photos. New to Primrose and perfect to pair with your specialty cocktails is the weekend brunch. The Saturday and Sunday prix fixe offering includes li'l dishes of tea sandwiches, mini Danish, artisanal meat and cheeses, seasonal jams, fresh fruits and larger options like the decadent crème brûlée French toast.

Vanderpump Cocktail Garden

Caesars Palace. 702.731.7867. caesars.com

If anyone is a fan of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you’d know that Lisa Vanderpump lives in a coquette world—just check out her stunning home. She’s brought that aesthetic to her first Las Vegas venture—she and her husband are longtime restaurateurs—Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, which opened in 2019. The lounge is draped in flowers, foliage and twinkling lights. Floral patterns and textiles fill in the space, and its vibe is secret garden realness. The menu is packed with cocktails and light bites, but for that extra-special coquette photo, order the Vanderpump Margarita, made with tequila, fresh lime, hibiscus, white peach and orange liqueur. Pair it with the Vanderpump Rosé Cake, a cutesy li'l pink cake built for two made of rosé-infused sponge cake and a to-die-for strawberry buttercream. For extra snapshots, order a bottle of Lisa’s own Vanderpump Rosé, a beautiful bottling with a floral and gold design with the blush-colored vintage shining through.

Vanderpump à Paris

Paris Las Vegas. 702.946.4217. caesars.com

The Vanderpumps continue to spread their distinctive brand across the city, with the opening of their second lounge in 2022, Vanderpump à Paris. (Fans of the Vanderpump aesthetic will be happy to know the family is opening a third spot later this year at Flamingo). Vanderpump à Paris’ decor evokes images of lovers, romance, candlelit corners and cozy date nights—all draped in flowers, ribbons, soft textures and beautiful furnishings. To continue the romantic coquette adventure, order the perfectly fitting cocktail, Lock Locked. Mixed with Workdog gin, velvet falernum, raspberry, lemon, hibiscus, pomegranate and aquafaba, it comes in two glasses to share with your lover, as well as a lock, key and marker that guests can use to write their initials on the lock and add to the wall of locks at the entrance. Besides a menu packed with French-inspired cuisine, we highly suggest ordering the Grande Sélection to close your experience at Vanderpump à Paris. Your Instagram post of this dessert is perfect for that coquette hashtag and will have viewers envious (and hungry). It features three of the menu’s desserts, Le Grand Puff, Crème Brûlée Beignets and Mousse Au Chocolat Bites, all served on a grand platter.

Petrossian Bar

Bellagio. 702.693.7111. bellagio.mgmresorts.com

What could be more fashionably coquette than afternoon tea? Petrossian Bar—a longtime favorite of locals and tourists alike—has offered the traditional European custom for more than two decades. Available every Friday through Sunday from 1-4 p.m., guests can tuck into the front of Petrossian, where a pianist plays beautiful music, or choose a table in the back lounge area. A multilevel tower of sumptuous goodies includes signature scones with clotted cream and seasonal jam, tea sandwiches like egg salad, English cucumber and jamón Ibérico, and French pastries such as the spiked lemon tartelette and raspberry macarons. Beautifully designed pots are filled with tea and served alongside the treats, as well as specialty cocktails like the favorite Lavender Basil Lemon Drop with Belvedere organic lemon basil vodka, St-Germain, lavender essence and a divine basil-sugar rim. To step up the tea service, guests can opt for the caviar afternoon tea as well. The complete tea setup and signature specialty cocktails make for a heavenly coquette afternoon, made even more on theme thanks to Petrossian Bar’s location—near the flower-filled, always whimsically-themed Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Garden.
