| - Mothership sets flight over the coffee houses to a place where it is back to the basics. In a Las Vegas valley over filling with coffee houses serving fancy drinks and sweetened beverages, Mothership Coffee Roasters goes back to the basic coffee beverages.
The Mothership is located at the southeast corner of Green Valley Shopping Center in a shopping center featuring Trader Joe's, Weiss Deli, and the U.S. Post Office. This is where the Green Valley story began. A couple of miles west on Sunset, another story began. It is the Mothership story. A few years ago two individuals named Juanny and Josh brought to life their dream of a coffee shop and coffee roasting facility. This became Sunrise Coffee the iconic coffee house that popularized the independent neighborhood coffee shop in Las Vegas and is top rated in surveys. The mission of Sunrise Coffee and Mothership Coffee Roasters is producing world class coffee and cultivating a true sense of community. It is a mission that led me to Sunrise Coffee. Sunrise Coffee was about to get better; they were opening near my place.
I remember the day not far back when I saw Dainty Cakes shut down and a few weeks later their former shop window read "Sunrise Coffee coming soon sign" . I so recall it said "Sunrise Coffee in lieu of Mothership." For months I'd check on the progress of the place. Then one day "tadah" it's opened and I am inside drinking coffee.
Just like many people I expected a neighborhood coffee house experience. It is a business in a commercial shopping center that would lead me to believe that the focus isn't primarily a place for roasting coffee, training batistas, a bakery, and expresso bar. It is also a business that I immediately grew to appreciate and regularly patronize.
Mothership has a small footprint. There are a few long tables with tall stools. Recently they increased the seating capacity with a couple of sidewalk tables. When I walk into Mothership I set eyes on a pastry counter that curves into the coffee counter. After trying a chocolate chip cookie once I was impressed. The pastries are farm to table. They use a whole wheat flour from farmers in Washington State and subsequently bake delicious pastries like the chocolate chip cookie I so enjoyed in the shop. Beyond the counter, there is a glass window where I have observed the coffee roasting action. It reminds me of the windows at Ethal M Chocolate Factory.
When I visit Mothership it is for basic coffee. This is not the spot where I go to for pumpkin spice drinks or a Frappuccino. The drinks that they focus on are drip coffee, espresso, cappuccino, whole or Almond lattes, and the bubbly nitrogen brewed coffee. I usually order the drip. Right off the bat, I hold a cup of coffee in high esteem when it tastes delicious minus flavoring, powder, and sweeteners. Mothership is the only coffee establishment that I have frequented that primarily offers cubes of sugar as a coffee sweetener. In my opinion I feel that also offering artificial sweeteners would be advantages to the population of individuals that cannot have sugar. However, the coffee is roasted from such a high caliber of beans that it takes just one sugar cube to sweeten the drink. I never drank a mug of Mothership coffee that let me down.
In general the employees have been friendly. They are here to answer questions pertaining to coffee. I did stump them when I asked them how they got the name Mothership Coffee? Are Juanny and Josh Led Zeppelin fans or is their a different meaning to the name. The friendly employees have let me know that coffee refills are only $1.
Mothership takes me to a good place that is so close to my home. In the future I plan to set flight on the Mothership to astronomical high quality coffee that is out of this world.
