| - One of the best coffee shops that I've ever been to, by far. Why? Its not just the product (which is pretty good) with Grouchy John's many coffee blends, pastries and other snacks. Its not just in the amount of space it has (front area can hold around 30 people, while the back room area can hold double that). And of course, its not just about its proximity from the Las Vegas Strip (5-7 minutes, depends how fast you are driving).
For me, Grouchy John's is all about the spirit of its employees and patrons. This coffee shop is like one living, breathing organism that takes after its owner- one enthusiastic, professional yet sassy & pissed off mofo that wants to show you who's your daddy when it comes down to exceptional coffee & good quality customer service. And even if you don't even drink a coffee, you'll feel a pretty good vibe here that will make you want to stay here a while and spend a few dollars more. This is such a place!
Seeing Grouchy John himself (usually wearing a Brooklyn hat with a small scowl on his face) can be slightly intimidating at first, yet when you see how he takes care of his customers, you'll get an impression that he truly cares about you in addition to the brand. I tried a recommended iced coffee blend that was so strong that I took the first sip at 9 AM in the morning in Vegas, and the last sip at 9 PM in Denver, CO after driving all day completely amped up from the amount of caffeine. And all for a few bucks. Now if that's not good coffee, I don't know what it is!
Grouchy John's is now one of my go-to places when in Vegas. Come get some!
