| - There's nothing better than hanging out at a hipster coffee shop! I didn't know a place like this existed in Las Vegas, but I'm glad it does. I stayed in Downtown Las Vegas for several days, and I would come here everyday to work on my laptop. I would sit on the couch and spend a great deal of time people watching. In one day, I saw old friends meet up for coffee and catch up, people conducting business meetings, people planning their wedding, and a young couple decide that they're not right for each other and should break up. It's a very eclectic place.
This is a place that's less about the coffee and more about the culture. There's an area of the store where they sell old vinyl records, and an extensive hallway full of small art studios where artists have office space and showrooms. There's a small library area upstairs full of tables, couches, and comfortable chairs. I walked into that library thinking that at some point, someone was going to realize that I don't work in this building and ask me to leave. Nobody ever said a word to me, and I hung out and worked on my laptop in this library space for several days. In fact, I'm here right now writing this review!
The coffee isn't great. It's not horrible, but it's not Starbucks. The sandwiches are decent, but also not great. The people who work at this place are young people with tattoos and piercings. Whoever owns this place probably hired them for their ironic quality and the fact that they represent the type of atmosphere this establishment is trying to create, and not so much for this ability to make coffee.
Overall, I really like this place, and I hope it continues to be an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Las Vegas.
