| - I'm tempted to tell you all that Sambalatte is terrible so that you'll leave it all to me, but that would be almost criminal. This place is a jewel in Las Vegas, and exactly what I've been hoping to find in nearly ten years living here.
Excellent, independent shop with top quality coffee. A real antidote to the cookie cutter, cardboard Starbucks monotony. Sambalatte is just about the only place in the US I've come across that can make an authentic Flat White, a delicious coffee drink popular in Australia and New Zealand. They also have a wide selection of teas and sweetened drinks, though I have not tried these.
The service staff are primarily young people and, as some have said, maybe a little bit rough, but I notice it getting better all the time. There is a nice selection of pastries, fruit and meat trays, even a few sandwiches like good-quality ham and brie on crusty bread with champagne mustard.
The atmosphere has a cool vibe. There are current magazines from around the country, and newspapers, and free wi-fi. There are two floors of indoor seating and seating outside, too, with free standing heaters for the cooler weather.
The owner is almost always on site, which is no doubt, why the quality has remained consistently high on each of my visits.
I can recommend Sambalatte highly.
