    Iced coffee
    Robert F.

    First time here and first time at the Lifeguard Arena. We've visited the original spot (apparently it looks like it's a block down the street!) It's a little close to the first location but I'm sure they do well being that they are in the arena. Coffee was fantastic, service was great!

    Great service. Staff is always super friendly. need to tidy up though. A little dusty.

    PW2 is as great as PW1, with the only difference being that it's located inside the Lifeguard Arena. Oh, and this location has longer hours than the original which is just down the block. My go-to is the Ice Blended Cuban Honey Latte with oat milk: I'm addicted to it. The staff is always great and this is a terrific spot for patrons of the rink. #locallove

    This place is great, there's not much more to say! They are always quick with your order and always friendly. I love that both this location and the first one are an equidistant walk from my work but I love that this one is inside Lifeguard Arena. It gives me an excuse to take a break near the cool ice and also get something to drink on these extremely hot days.

Located in a small little shopping center, this place is definitely tucked away but super easy to find. Parking can be scarce so I would either recommend in getting there very early or a little bit later in the morning. When you open the door, the first thing you are greeted with is the pastry rack in front of you. I swear, I gained 10 lb. Just looking at it. So many amazing things to look at and see absolutely wonderful. Another thing I have to brag about is how friendly everyone is there. You walk in the door and you are greeted literally by everyone. Really makes you feel at home and invited in to experience everything that they have. I opted for the tiramisu latte, and it was fantastic! Definitely had a perfect coffee flavor, and the terramisu flavoring was not overly sweet but actually was perfect. I had the bacon breakfast croissant with egg and it was wonderful. Perfectly balanced, the flavors were there, and the bacon was excellent! This is definitely one we are going to add for our go-to breakfast places when in Vegas. Super excited to try everything on the menu! Bottom line? If you have not gone to horizon shine, you are missing out. Top of your must-go places and I swear you will not be disappointed! You will probably see me there again! If so, feel free to buy me a pastry.

Ordered the: Triple matcha with almond milk, so refreshing and light with the almond milk Turon latte, was surprised that it didn't just taste like a banana latte!

Drinks came out super quick and the barista was very friendly. Definitely worth the visit/drive!

After about 40 minutes, I went up to ask how much longer it would take. Before I could even finish my question, Keysha interrupted me and said she was working on it. I was frustrated at that point and told her, "Ma'am, please don't interrupt me while I'm asking you a question." About 10 minutes later, Keysha personally brought our food all the way to us at the front door, which I did not see her do with anyone else. We thanked them for the food. Instead of simply handing it to us and letting us leave, she started going off on me. She told me, "We're a small business. Don't order 6 sandwiches if you have somewhere to be." She continued raising her voice at me and telling me not to cut her off while she barely allowed me to speak. It felt like she specifically came to the front to continue the confrontation rather than just give us our food. I understand being a small business. I understand being busy. But 50 minutes for 6 sandwiches is a long wait, and asking for an update after 40 minutes is reasonable. What was completely unacceptable was an employee following the interaction to the front of the restaurant just to continue arguing with a customer. The wait wasn't what earned the 1-star review. It was the way Keysha chose to handle the situation. Completely unprofessional and unnecessarily disrespectful.

The inside is so cozy with patterned fabric chairs, wood tables and a a pretty cool wall mural. There is also a wine bar combined with the coffee house by Azzura inside. So coffee by day, wine in the evening. There is soft music playing, but you can easily meet here for conversation. They have books you can borrow located in an old telephone booth. I also saw some puzzles and games on the floor inside. If you are in the area, you should give this place a try.

I found a space and only had about a two-minute walk to Public Works. The space is industrial but cozy, and I love the little community library in the red phone booth. That's such a cute touch and very on-brand for a neighborhood spot. It also turns into a wine bar at night. I ordered the iced matcha honey latte with almond milk. It was good, but definitely on the sweeter side. Almost milkshake-like. (Not frozen, just thicker and sweeter than a traditional matcha). I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for an earthy or classic matcha. The texture was a bit grainy with some settling at the bottom, and I did get a small clump in one sip. Not a big deal, just noticeable. If I had to guess, they use a pre-sweetened matcha powder. They don't advertise having pure or ceremonial matcha, so I'm not too pressed. Just sharing my experience. Service was quick and I got my drink within just a few minutes. There's plenty of indoor seating plus a spacious, dog-friendly patio. The vibe is very social and family-friendly, with lots of conversation, families, and groups. I personally wouldn't come here to study or work, but it seems like a great spot to meet with friends or family, or just a casual coffee run. I'd come back when I'm in the mood for something sweet. I'm curious to try the Cuban latte next time since it gets so much love. I'm glad I checked this place out.

Every visit has been a great experience, and it's one of those places I actually look forward to coming back to. The menu has a really good variety, whether you're in the mood for coffee, breakfast, or lunch. Everything I've ordered has been fresh and delicious, but I have to give a special shoutout to the Chicken Caesar Salad. It is genuinely one of the best I've had from any café. The ingredients always taste fresh, the portions are satisfying, and it's become my go-to order. The drinks are just as impressive. They're consistently well-made, and you can tell the staff actually cares about the quality of what they're serving. The atmosphere is another reason I love coming here. It's clean, welcoming, and has a cozy environment that's perfect whether you're stopping by for a quick drink or planning to stay for a while. I also have to recognize Grace, who is absolutely wonderful. She's incredibly kind, welcoming, and always makes customers feel appreciated. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and that positive attitude makes such a difference. Every interaction with her has been friendly, professional, and warm. Employees like her are a huge reason people become regular customers! Overall, Tru Bru is the kind of local coffee shop I love supporting. Great food, consistently good drinks, a comfortable atmosphere, and amazing customer service. I highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for a place that genuinely cares about both its products and its customers.

Both were made well but the latte tasted a little watered down and maybe because it was so hot the ice melted. We bought 2 scones as well. I thought the drinks were pretty expensive. It was 8.32 for a small matcha with almond milk and 6.76 for a small latte with almond milk. Also they did not ask what size we wanted. I actually wanted a large latte. The scones were about $5 each. I did not expect to come in and leave paying over $30 with the tip for coffee and scones. The service was friendly and we did get our drinks quickly. I really liked the scone, it tasted fresh and not too sweet. The place itself is super cute and aesthetic with lots of seating. It is more of a sit down imo and not a quick grab coffee spot.

There wasn't much seating available, as the cafe was quite full, and there were a lot of people doing work. Definitely more of a spot for 1-2 people, as there weren't any tables that could accommodate 3 when we went. I asked the staff for a recommendation, so I got the vanilla latte based off of that. I was excited to try this spot since there were many good reviews, though perhaps my expectations were too high. The first thing I check for in an iced latte is the bottom of the cup to see if there are any burnt grounds. To my disappointment, there were, so I knew the espresso wasn't going to be very smooth. Though, I couldn't even taste it. I prefer a strong espresso taste, but all I could taste was the milk with a weak aftertaste of watery espresso. The others in my group got matcha, and they also tasted of milk and syrup with barely any matcha flavor. Overall I don't plan on going back since the drinks we had were disappointingly mid. The menu is very large, but I still don't think I'd be willing to go back and try another to see if it was maybe an off day or if there are better drinks.
