| - Such a fantastic little gem in a subpar location. Although my office is nearby, endless construction along Sunset causes it to be quite difficult to make it here in a reasonable amount of time. Initially, I decided to give Sunrise a try after a friend let me know that they offer several vegan and gluten-free options. I was quite excited to see what the offerings were since Las Vegas is not the most veg-friendly/gluten-free friendly city. Unfortunately, although Sunrise does offer some vegan options and some gluten free options, their gluten free granola/one daily muffin selection are the only options that are vegan as well. I was rather disappointed after my first visit since I was informed they were out of the granola and muffins I would normally be able to have. Because I was really hungry, I opted for a banana and a side of cashew butter and a fancy coffee.
The latte I received was beautifully presented, and I love that they serve drinks in mugs rather than wasting paper and/or plastic. I was also really impressed with the overall customer service. Since they were out of the granola that day, the barista was kind enough to give me a card for two free food items my next visit. Even more impressive, he apparently found some granola after I sat down and brought it to me with almond milk, on the house (so awesome!). I should probably also add that I could honestly care less that the only options for me are the granola and/or muffins (if available) because they are incredibly good.
I highly recommend trying out this locally owned, independent coffee shop. They use biodegradable cutlery and plastic cups; offer organic, fair trade coffee; and high quality, organic loose leaf teas. The only thing missing are a few different vegan AND 100% gluten-free pastries.
