Lee's! I loved you in Orange county...Your iced coffee, you little custard corn shaped filled pastry...Your dessert "Che." You've been open in Las vegas for oh...I guess at least 3 months now...I expect more from you having the history I do with you!
I use to go down to Orange county from Northern California and make it a point to stop by a Lee's for their great coffee and desserts. There is one literally on every other street corner there. Despite not accepting CREDIT CARDS, I would grab cash on the way just to stop by you. What happened in vegas?
I know it takes business at least three months to settle in and offer consistent-tasting food. Its been that long yet I still am not a fan of your sandwiches, vietnamese Ice coffee or pastries as I have been for at least 6 years now. To the newbies, your sandwiches might taste good, but honestly, you have no consistency with your sandwiches. The veggies are good but sometimes I don't get enough. The bread is also very hard if you buy it to go and not get to it for a few hours.
Readers, if you are familiar with myself, I love love coffee. i love Vietnamese coffee even more. The first time i walked into this place 3 months ago, the girl behind the counter asked me how I wanted my coffee because she can make it specifically to how i wanted it. WRONG! Lee's coffee is generally pre-made, when ordered, it is just simply poured over ice. There is a specific recipe that goes into making this drink. The next few times they got the clue and had it pre-made. Unfortunately, this coffee still lacks the taste that I remember receiving time and time again when ever I visited SoCAL.
Because this place is family owned and operated, I would think that at the least, my coffee would taste as I recall it for many years. I am sad to say that this Vegas location is incomparable to its sister locations i SoCAL.
If its a late night and I am crazing my coffee and sandwich, I'd stop by. Otherwise, I go to Hue Thai or Mr. Sandwich. Please Lee's, Get better soon.
Sincerely your customer,
TTK
PS: Pro's: One of the biggest locations I've been to, If you camp out, no one would notice. ...That's about it.
