| - This place deserves a 2-star for the following reasons: RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL and MEDIOCRE drinks. Most of the time we would've taken our money else where but hey, we drove all the way here, so we might as well just get our drinks and because the place itself might be worth it.
The place: There is a nice outdoor area that you can sit and a few tables and then a couch area with a TV and fire place. However this place seemed confused of it's own identity. Even though the title said coffee house and tavern, I would've assume that majority it will be a coffee house before anything. From the layout and decor I definitely did not get a tavern but more of a lounge. The place looked clean and organized but there is the cigarette scent lingering so it's no longer a place you would want to relax and hangout. There's also a few gambling machines.
The experience --- I walked in with my friends thinking to grab a quick cup of coffee (since it said Coffee House) to just wind down the day. However, we walked into a pretty empty place with a few other patrons. A staffer finally saw us but before I was even able to say anything the girl on staff straight up said we "are not allowed in here" with what I will assume her authorizing tone. I was extremely taken aback by how I was greeted. The waitress just kept on telling me how this place is 21 OVER ONLY. So apparently she thought we were all underage. Okay, fine that you think we look young, thank you. However, this is NOT how you are to approach a patron even if they ARE underage. She also added in a lot of hand jesters and body movement to be along with what she is rambling about. Sorry, but I've got the indication she was also racial profiling us as if we did not understand the English language. I have to wait until she was done with her rambling because I can't even cut in just to tell her that we are all over 21. So after we clarified that we are of legal age she didn't even asked to see our ID. What if I actually lied? Then she just allowed minors to gamble and order alcohol.
The food/drink experience --- Drinks are the fun part. After we bypass the initial checkpoint we sat by the couch area but still confused if this is an "order your food and sit down" or table service, another thing I didn't get to ask when we were busy saying we are over 21. The waitress came with the menu but seemed a bit too zealous where I felt rushed to decide on my drink. I do not know if she felt bad on how she was earlier or she want us in and out of that place but definitely did not help the mindset on this place. After the waitress took our drink orders, two of us got up to check out what pastries they have. (This part may just be a bit odd) After I ordered they told me that they only have 1 paper bag left to hold my pastries and asked if she can put both in one. It's fine with me since it's one order. However, my friend who was behind me order a pastry separately and actually got a paper bag when it supposedly have ran out a minute ago, wait, did she just lied to me??? She also moved very slow, I seriously have never seen someone taking so long to get a cookie and a muffin. I could've chopped down a tree and processed it to paper bags within that time.
(This part is a peeve) I don't think I have ever been at a place that when we order drinks, let alone alcoholic drinks, they do not place a napkin acting as a coaster and then the drink. Isn't this basic 101 knowledge? So I had to go and ask for napkins only to find our waitress, sitting down and smoking on the clock. Is that even allowed? If it is allowed in the state of NV then I apologize and at least it solved the smokey scent issue here. Sometimes I forget that places aside from casinos also allowed smoking inside.
Anyway, I can only speak for 2 of this drinks since I didn't try the others.
Chai Martini with Soymilk - This drink is not on the menu, it was a recommendation. Apparently the chai martini now requires no mixing. Top layer is chai tea/alcohol and bottom layer is the soy milk. you can distinctively see the separation. It would be nice that I can mix it up myself but oh wait, nothing to stir with. The chai taste is not bad but I definitely will not say it's the best chai martini I've ever had. This one is good if you do not like alcohol but want to drink out of martini glass.
Tangerine smoothie - This should apologize to all smoothies. It felt really refreshing when you are first drinking it but the aftertaste is the sugary burn similar to the ones you get when you drink a slurpy or icee.
Redeemable point (+1 star): The muffin and cookie I ordered was not that bad and one of my friend thought her drink was okay.
Overall, I will never set foot in this place again since they don't seem to care about returning customers. I hoped that this could've been a nice change from other coffee houses and potential lunch spot in the future. Oh well, on to another place.
