| - This. Place. Arguably the best kept coffee shop secret in Vegas, I met a former college of mine (who was in town with the 'Hamilton' Tour) for coffee and a pastry. The shop is unmarked, aside from an Open Sign and a big wooden door. One might think that this is actually a Bar, but the big vaulted ceilings, greenhouse in the middle and electric collection of antique chairs, sofas, cups and spoons make this feel like a mini oasis in the desert.
I ordered the Carmella, which was more like a shot than a latte (my mistake) but was absolutely delicious, nonetheless! And took about 5 minutes to get made and delivered to my table. I also tried the Cruffin, (an espresso cream filled muffin) and I was literally licking every last drop of that filling off my fingers! Not too sweet, not too rich - just right!
There's just this incredible sense of calm efficiency inside. I'm sure it does get busy, but on this Wednesday morning, it was just a lovely buzz. With enough planning, one could easily find a nook to snuggle up and get some work down, read, or just chat and catch up with friends. It wasn't noisy, there was still plenty of natural light and I see myself spending many more mornings frequenting this secret speakeasy-style shoppe!
