| - What a polished venue. Between the use of space, the color schemes, the preparation, but most of all.... the drinks. Excellent, excellent, excellent.
I worked about a year or so as a barista then manager over at a Starbucks and since then, was swallowed into the coffee culture that Philadelphia/NYC/NJ offered. When I moved to Vegas, I decided I just love the environment that a great coffeehouse can offer: the aromas, friendly, casual diners, art filled mindsets, and what the hell: DELICIOUS DRINKS.
Sambalatte offers all of this, beautifully at that. Located in Boca park, it offers coffee - each cup freshly ground and prepared so the acidity is minimal and the taste is effortless with minimal cream or sugar recommended. (I'd like to mention the baristas were very knowledgable about each product and were very helpful.)
A giant mural of the regions of each type of coffee blend as well as a very decent offering of tea is displayed. What made it for me was the from-scratch whipped cream that was just decadent.
I had a nutella hot chocolate that just made my afternoon, drizzling and all, glow. I cradled it on my way home and cursed the fact that I had work in a few hours and did not have the opportunity to enjoy the cafe to its fullest.
The upstairs area upstairs was my type of zone - a miniature library to coil up and catch up on a few chapters and just unwind.
I frankly can't wait to go back and try all their different drinks. I just wish their hours were longer...
