    Smoked Salmon
    Therese F.

    Visited Iwana Specialty Coffee Roasters with my work team for a meeting and we had such a great experience. The space had a really nice atmosphere for meeting up and relaxing while enjoying coffee and food. The Ube Matcha was delicious and definitely something unique to try, and the Coconut Mocha was equally amazing. We also ordered the smoked salmon and it was so good. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. Such a great local spot with creative drinks and great food -- we'll definitely be back!

    Stopped here on vacation after my husband looked up "the best coffee spots in Vegas" and Iwana was on the blog's list! We are so happy we visited. Iwana specializes in Columbian coffee and it was clear they are passionate about high quality beans and the roasting process. I enjoyed reading about where they get their beans! Coconut mocha iced latte: I rarely go for mochas but I was so happy I did! It was subtly sweet and the coconut flavor really came through! Ube quad shot iced latte: my husband wnjoyed his ube latte, he said the sofr top balanced out the quad shots of espresso nicely! (The og drink comes with 2 shots, he added an extra 2). Atmosphere: this place is super cute and cozy! I loved all the purple elements and Vegas nods. The seating was vertical comfortable so we got to sit and hangout for abit! Service: the young man helping my husband order was super nice and helpful. We would definitely recommend trying this spot and I would love to go back and try some of their breakfast items. We peaked over at other tables and their food looked delicious! Thanks Iwana for a great coffee experience!

    More style over substance when it comes to the ube latte, unfortunately.

    Date of visit: March 8, 2026 Our realtor brought us here while we were wrapping up our home search and he wanted us to see the Arts District and we came away with a newfound appreciation for our soon to be new home and enjoyed the experience at Iwana Specialty Coffee in the process. Staff are very friendly and patient, especially for us newbies to the process of perusing the menu and ordering, though we did have to ask for the cookie we ordered a second time and almost forgot about it. I went with the Chicken Caesar Wrap (sans tomatoes, because why would you ruin a Caesar like that?) and the Ube Latte as it just looked so pretty on the signage. Sadly the ube foam had really no taste and it was a pretty generic latte that I had to sweeten a bit to give it a little more taste. My husband's chocolate chip cookie was just okay, though it was massive, on the positive side. My wrap was very good and our realtor's acai bowl looked phenomenal. The vibe was bright and open, and the back patio looked great as well--looking forward to bringing some folks there in the near future!

    Clean and airy..you feel it as soon as you step in The staff was nice with navigating me through their menu they mentioned that the ube latte and the coconut mocha are popular I decided to go with the ube latte and it's absolutely delicious it's not too sweet but it's not bitter either somewhere in the middle The coffee is very smooth and they use whole milk but they do have alternative milk as well On the wall I saw that it said that they use Colombian coffee so it makes sense why I love it so much because I absolutely adore Colombian coffee I'm glad I stumbled upon this place

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I was not disappointed! I ordered a mocha latte and avocado toast and it was truly delicious and fresh . The customer service was amazing and there's a cute outdoor patio area that was very refreshing . I would definitely come here again and can't wait to try something new .

    I saw this place on TikTok and wanted to try it, and I'm glad I did. When you walk in, the first thing you notice is how clean and open the space is. The aesthetic is very nice and there's plenty of seating for studying, meeting with people, or just relaxing. They also have a backyard patio area with wood seating and umbrellas, which is perfect if you want to sit outside and get some sun. Customer service here is definitely five stars. The guy at the front is super welcoming and always smiling. He's very friendly and engaging, which makes the whole place feel warm and inviting. I also interacted with one of the women working there when I was asking about the space, and she was incredibly nice. She even noticed I was looking for somewhere to plug in my laptop and went out of her way to show me where the outlets were. I really appreciate that kind of thoughtful service. For food, I ordered the avocado toast with bacon, and it was honestly so good. It's about $12.50, but it comes with a small side salad and the whole plate was really well done. It's a hearty breakfast and I highly recommend it. I also tried the strawberry matcha, which was okay, but next time I'll probably try one of their coffees. They also have a slideshow playing that talks about the history of their coffee, which I thought was a nice touch. I went on a weekday and was able to find parking right in front, but it is a popular spot and gets busy. Overall, I highly recommend this place. Great atmosphere, excellent customer service, and really good food. I'll definitely be back.

    Iwana is such an awesome coffee shop in the Arts District in downtown! We love supporting our local small businesses! It's really nice to have a coffee shop on that side of the art district since there's one on the other end, so it's nice to have a balance. I've been there a few times and I've always had a really great experience! The service has always been amazing! It's a very spacious, super clean, and really calming cozy environment. They have a lot of really well-known local artists work displayed throughout the café, but it's not overpowering or overstimulating to the environment. They really did a great job of creating a lot of really cool niche aesthetic while also keeping it minimalistic at the same time. I don't know how else to describe it, but I really just love the way that they set up the café environment there. Really comfortable seating, a great place to work on your computer or catch up with a friend. They also have a really nice size outdoor patio that faces out into other local small businesses in the same complex. This trip to Iwana, I got their green juice which came in a really nice size cup, it was pretty big and it was really good, just a fresh healthy green juice. I really love that. There is a place in the arts district that has these type of healthy options. My friend got the mixed berries banana smoothie and she got it half sweetened and she said that it was really good! Just an overall really great vibe and really great place especially in the area that it's in, in the arts district. It's really a perfect family owned small business to support! If you are in the arts district, go check them out! I wish they stayed open a little later!!

    Smoked Salmon Croissant
    Cathy C.

    Yelp Review 2026 #2: "You make me wanna leave the one I'm with. Start a new relationship with you" - Usher Raymond Vegas has a lot of coffee shops that have great drinks but lacking in the food department. Iwana leave these places. I'm a food-first-drinks-second kind of person. Iwana has croissant/ bagel sandwiches, paninis, wraps, salads, fruit bowls and they're done well. Their drinks are Colombian-inspired from their coffees and aguapanela. I say Colombian-inspired because I didn't see anyone put cheese in their coffee like they do in Colombia. I digress. They also have espresso-based drinks, teas, matcha and lattes, milk, mocha, juice, and smoothies. SMOKED SALMON CROISSANT: You can opt for a bagel if you don't want a croissant but trust me, their croissant is good. Smoked salmon, spring mix lettuce, red onion, capers, tomato slices, cream cheese, lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper. The croissant is buttery and you can see the multiple layers. Generous portions of smoked salmon (at least 2oz). You get a choice of fruit or chips as your side. There's a side of pepper sauce that doesn't really go well with the sandwich but you don't have to use it. 5/5 AVOCADO OMELETTE: 3 scrambled eggs, avocado, tomatoes, red onions, spinach, mozzarella, feta cheese, salt and pepper, served with fruits. You can add bacon, Turkey or ham for extra $. 4/5 STRAWBERRY PUREE MATCHA: The strawberry purée provides the sweetness to the matcha. Make sure you stir well. Otherwise, you're left with sweet strawberries at the bottom. 5/5 LATTE: Non-dairy options include oatmilk and almond milk. Good coffee. 5/5 There are off-menu items. Be sure to check their seasonal/ special items and treats from the counter. They have cookies, pastries and bags of coffee for purchase. Service was ok. I think the girl behind the counter could be friendlier and have more energy especially at a place that serves caffeinated drinks. The interior is giving Keith Haring vibes. The space is spacious but with quite limited tables.

    I met friends here for an amazing human resource event. The seating is varied, which allows you to have intimate settings or business meetings. The selection of coffee is delicious and immersive. The service is very good as well.

    Cute decor inside. Nothing crazy to rave aboutabout. Your basic coffee. Got the vanilla iced latte.

    This is the cutest coffee shop! I was in Vegas visiting family and my sister in law highly recommended Iwana and I see why. Iwana is very unassuming on the outside, but as soon as you walk in, you know you're at the right place. The aesthetic is bright and well put together, beautiful patio seating, and the drinks are delicious. We ordered a coconut mocha, ube latte, and mango blended drink and I would order all three again. The mango drink is naturally sweet and the mocha has wonderful flavor without being overly sweet. There are nice decor details everywhere and they even have cute stickers for purchase. I will come back for sure next time I'm in town to try their food, and I bought a bag of house blend beans to take home. The baristas were very sweet too.

    Strawberry puree matcha
    Anita L.

    Spacious and bright coffee shop with decent places to work and WiFi. I love the fact that their matcha drinks come unsweetened - it's so much better to have the sweetness just from the topping or purée. They also sell their coffee beans and have a variety of hot foods in addition to baked goods!

Tonight's theme was swing dancing, which kicked off with a beginner lesson at 6:15PM. The cover charge was a reasonable $15.50 per person and included a free drink from their selection of standard beverages. We went with the lemonade, which was served in an elegant champagne flute. It was decent, though it didn't taste freshly squeezed. The turnout was excellent--during the lesson, the place was packed shoulder-to-shoulder, with dancers filling every available inch of floor space. Afterward, a live jazz band took the stage and kept the energy high. The night was genuinely fun, with swing in the air and a lively, nostalgic atmosphere. It did get quite warm inside, but a couple of fans helped keep the air circulating. On regular nights, I understand Coffee Note shifts to a more relaxed open jazz jam session--perfect for sitting at a table with a drink and soaking in the sounds of America's musical past. The venue itself is a charming little coffee shop that feels ideal for reading, working, or enjoying quiet conversation with friends. We'll definitely be back for future events.

We made sure to get a couple of their specialty coffees--the Turon Brulee Latte and the Ferrero Latte, and then one of their more regular coffees, the Ube Latte. All of them were a hit! Every single one of the cloud foams on the coffee lattes we had were sooooo incredibly creamy and delicious, and tasted exactly like they should. If I were to choose one favorite out of the ones we got though, mine would be the Turon Brulee Latte. That banana and jackfruit puree they have on there was just pure perfection. It went so well with that bold coffee flavor without completely overpowering it, and it wasn't overly sweet. It definitely tasted like the traditional Filipino dessert in coffee latte form! One thing of note--their coffee tasted DIVINE. It was smooth and mellow with a great punch of toastiness to it. I'm a huge fan of coffee shops who roast their own coffee beans so that in and of itself was already a winner for me. But after tasting their coffee? Hands down, just a great experience overall. Ambiance was great--I loved the art they had on the walls and red ram figures they had on the tables. The place was very clean and it's somewhere you'd want to stay and chill at while enjoying your coffee and/or pastry of choice. Service was impeccable--the barista who helped us was so friendly and welcoming. She even gave her own recommendations and made sure our coffees were all made to our liking. We also even met one of the owners, Mr. Armand! He was so very nice and sweet. We love an owner who's hands on and we were pretty lucky to meet him during our visit. I'm already looking forward to the next time we're able to come back here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Got Butterscotch Creme Brulee which was ok--Not that sweet, I came home and added caramel syrup to sweeten it up but I also know it was a crapshoot so... I do like that they have new flavors every month and I love the random idea... but I do not think it was dairy free... In fact when she was making it I thought I saw her add cream, I am not sure and she was making 2 other drinks at the same time so I didn't speak up and hoped she understood "No dairy" but the reason I say that is I am lactose intolerant and after drinking a few sips, I started having tummy issues.... I am going to go back... because I love the rotating drink menu and I love their hot coffee which I had at Sunrise Cafe a while back and I want to buy a box of their K cups... But only if the die leads me to go back... and You know how that goes, The die may not choose it for 7 more years. Its very nice inside though. They have couches and it's very welcoming.

It's a refreshing escape from the typical coffee shop atmosphere. One of my favorite features is the variety of seating options. Whether you want to study, hang out, or simply relax, they have a setup for you. There's a comfy lounge area with sofas for a laid-back vibe, as well as high-top chairs if you prefer a more upright workspace. It's clear they put thought into making the space both functional and inviting. The drink selection is impressive. They offer a wide range of flavored syrups and teas, and one that really caught my attention was the hibiscus tea with coconut--unique and intriguing. Although I didn't order it this time, I did end up buying two bags of their signature Love Potion coffee beans, and I can't wait to try them at home. I also loved seeing the barrels of coffee for sale; it adds to the charm and authenticity of the place. They also serve a small but appealing assortment of pastries, along with a solid lineup of coffees and teas available in small, medium, or large. Whether you're in the mood for something simple or something more adventurous, there's definitely something for everyone. And finally, the staff truly made the experience even better. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall positive vibe of the shop. Highly recommend visiting Magnum Coffee & Store if you're looking for a cozy, creative, and flavorful coffee experience!
