I LOVE this cafe up in Summerlin, and they recently opened this location in the Monte Carlo. My dad was staying there on vacation and the only huge difference between them is the sidewalk cafe access on the strip, the tourists and the prices.
The atmosphere inside is pretty sophisticated here compared to their other location, and the tourists pile up to get their coffee fix here. While the espresso is excellent quality here, I didn't enjoy paying strip prices for my morning coffee.
In my opinion, the experience and quality here was just as good as the other but more of a local vibe at the summerlin location. This translates to the staff is no where near as awesome at this location because they assume you are a tourist and arent coming back.
Either way if i find myself at the Monte Carlo of course I will support the local coffee shop over Starbucks, every day life, every time. I've been going to sambalatte for about five years now, so I am a dedicated fan and will continue to support them!
