- coffeeWhat I got was a 12-oz cup of bitter, slightly burnt, thoroughly unremarkable coffee for nearly six bucks. The ambiance was nice, and the food looked decent, but if their coffee is any indication, I won’t be back. I’ve had much better coffee in far better places.
- acai bowlpaid $15 for a bowl that's next to a medium kids size
- arugulaThe bread was stale, to the point of being rock hard. The arugula was wilted, and there was avocado on it, which wasn't even listed on the menu. Beyond the atrocious food quality, the customer service is nearly as bad.

- staffMy experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with great food and a wonderful atmosphere. However, the experience was marred by some unprofessional staff. While the food and atmosphere were excellent, the unprofessionalism of some staff members detracted from the overall enjoyment and needs improvement.

- greetingI drove here expecting friendly staff. There is no menu, and no one greeted me. I walked out, lol.
- waitingWe brushed it off, assuming she might have had a rough day. Then, after waiting 30-40 minutes for our coffee, we went inside to check on it, only to find it just sitting on the counter. When we politely asked if it was ours, the staff ignored us until someone finally said, “Well, we called your name, ” in a rude tone.
- ManagementBAD ATTITUDE both from a customer service and Management

If youre not in a rush and value friendly interactions, you might find the service quite pleasant. However, be prepared for potentially significant wait times and occasional inconsistencies in staff attitude, which could be a dealbreaker if youre on a tight schedule.

- accommodationsThe only downside about this place for me is the seating. As someone who loves to have a group of friends gather for a drink, this spot doesn't have the accommodations for it. There's seating outside on the patio, but in the summer with the 120° weather, that just isn't ideal.

- acai bowl pricesMy last order was the acai bowl; it was good but a little too sweet for my liking. The acai bowl prices are very pricey for such a small bowl in Las Vegas compared to Socal. Other than the price-to-size ratio, everything here was great.

Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 70 reviews.
How this Cafe’s value stacks up against similar spots in Las Vegas.

Inconsistent but Loved Cafe
I visit this cafe at least twice a week and have been doing so for the past few months. The quality of the drinks and food is very good the majority of the time, but it seems to be very inconsistent. I always order the same items prepared the exact same way, but the quality and preparation are not always the same, which is sad.
I love this cafe; it’s so cute. I just wish it was bigger and had more indoor seating.

Overpriced drinks, long wait
My experience at the restaurant was marked by inaccurate online prices, leading to an unexpected $8+ charge for a 12oz latte. In my opinion, the prices are too high for what you get. While the taste was fine, it didn't live up to the suggested quality based on the cost.
The wait time was also long; our drinks arrived after we had finished our food. Even a single croissant took over 5 minutes to arrive, which is surprising for an item from the display case. In total, it took 25 minutes to get our coffees.
Considering the lack of indoor seating, I anticipate summers will be unpleasant, and overall, it's just not worth the prices.

Okay Food, Service Issues
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The food and smoothies were delicious, earning a high rating. However, the price felt a bit high for what was offered.
The patio provided ample seating, but the indoor seating was limited, especially for larger groups of 4 or more. The service was mostly positive, with most of the staff being very nice. Unfortunately, one staff member was perceived as angry and rude.
This was compounded by an instance where a food order was completely forgotten and drinks took longer than expected, leading to apologies from other staff members. Overall, it was an okay experience, but it's unlikely to become a regular spot for us.

Fantastic Acai Bowls and Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, specifically with their Acai bowls. I recently tried the Apple crust one and absolutely loved it. The Better Days bowl is also a standout and hard to beat.
The atmosphere is wonderful, especially when you can sit outside during the fall. I highly recommend checking this place out and don't forget to admire the look art they offer.

Mid Coffee and Unwelcoming Service
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The coffee was just okay, and I found it to be expensive. The employee serving me seemed disengaged, as if she "don’t wanna be there.
" I've also heard from many people that the service is really not good.
