Yelp 365 Challenge #142/365 (Las Vegas Adventures: The Hunt for Coffee)
My husband is a coffee fanatic and is a big fan of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Since we weren't familiar with the Las Vegas area, I yelped the nearest coffee joints around our vacation rental instead of hunting for Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.
Enters in: Human Bean
While my husband was playing pool in the den area, I read aloud the reviews to my husband suggesting that we sneak away since the rest of the household were still asleep! (Yes, parents with young adults do sneak away because they will end up ordering for everyone on our own money!)
Location: Easy to find on Fort Apache! Remember those little houses in the parking lot that you used to drop off your camera film (Note: This is only for people who were born before the 1980's) to develop? Well, Human Bean is located in a little house in the middle of a parking lot AND you drive up to place your order.
Service: EXCELLENT. The baristas (or should I say window ladies?) were very friendly as we gave our order AND they also gave a candy coffee bean on top of the coffee. The lids are pretty neat because it had a little open and close lever to prevent any spilling as you drive (I can see why because the speed limit was higher here than Hawaii!).
Menu: Pretty interesting because of the different names and types of coffee or beverage they serve. I wanted to try the Mexi-Mocha but I never got the chance to return here :(
Price: Your typical coffee and tea prices.
Recommendation: HIGH RECOMMENDATION if you are looking to branch away from Starbucks or other Coffee establishments.
Nevertheless, my husband was satisfied as we drove on because I located a Jamba Juice that was 3-4 miles down the road when lo and behold...there was a grand opening of a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf right next to the Jamba Juice. But, that is another story.
A Very Random Thought: Who uses GPS? I will only use a Tom Tom and no other because the one that my husband attempted to use while on vacation was irritating since we would drive past the Freeway cutoff and had to do a U-turn!Thus, my going back to Google Maps and doing it the old fashioned way of looking for a restaurant, store, or community centers.
