| - Looking to find some legit coffee while in Vegas, I had to expand my search a bit further to Henderson. Mothership looked to be the mother load of caffeinated goodness. At least according to its 4.5 star Yelp rating.
It's a cute, bright, little shop located in a strip mall. I wasn't expecting that when Chelly lead us here. My thoughts were "are we actually here?" when we pulled up to the Big 5 store near it.
My babygirl wanted a latte but was denied since she doesn't do almond milk. Yep, yet another place that doesn't offer soymilk. We were ready to bail but she urged me to get a latte for myself to try it out.
I'm happy she did. It was a tasty, if tiny cup for a small fortune. They steam their almond milk well. You don't get that bitter burnt taste that often accompanies frothed almond milk. The espresso is good, well balanced and strong. No latte art to be found which is odd considering the cost.
They're about a good 20some odd minutes drive from the strip, yet they're still charging Vegas prices here. The fact that they don't offer soymilk further lowers my overall opinion of them.
They did have a few delicious looking Vegan pastries on display. That was a pleasant surprise. I wanted to sample one, but we had brought a bagful of Ronald's Donuts with us, not expecting them to have anything here. Also since we had to go to another coffee shop afterwards, were weren't looking to stick around and munch pastries 'til we explode.
If you want good coffee and don't mind almond milk, or prefer it black, come here. Otherwise, they use the same brand of coffee over at Sunrise https://www.yelp.com/biz/sunrise-coffee-las-vegas-3 but also give you the option of having soymilk in your cup.
