    My last visit was a year ago and the vibe and the consistency is still here. Food: I had the guava cheese crossaint. amazing and filling. The brekkie supreme sandwich. Everything amazing with side salad. I had my vanilla latte, i remember tasting something different, maybe i had lavender last time. All good. Service: they bring out your food and drinks to your table if you eat for here. They also do pre bussing so that's when I def tip. Ambiance: Well lit on the corner street with a lot of natural light. Lots of wood and two small like trees in the middle of the cafe. Makes the place wholesome and makes me feel like im back in LA. I love it. That's why i will always come back here.

    It's been a minute since I've updated review for one of my fave coffee shops. It's located in DTLV and I love the fact that there is a parking lot right next door so I don't have to walk too far. And I also love the fact that they have food and delicious coffee here. Came here with my intern for a coworking lunch. The line is always pretty long here and seats are always taken, but the vibe in here is awesome. We were able to find a spot and the guy helping us at the counter was great. It's an order at the counter and take your seat spot, and they bring you out your food, which is really nice. I ordered a matcha latte which was delicious and then the orange chicken bento plate. It was soooo good! Definitely my favorite and they give you so much food. It comes with a macaroni salad, rice, and regular salad too. It's definitely my favorite meal on the menu. We also got a cinnamon roll to share as well and a blueberry scone. Both were sooo good, too. Literally everything here is tasty. The wifi is also pretty fast and works well. I love coffee shops like this one. Great spot to grab breakfast or lunch and catch up with friends, or even just come to work.

    We were looking for a new place since Eat! Closed, we wanted a place locals go to, for quality, service and vibe. I'm so glad I decided to take the walk from the hotel. Even tho it was over 100 degrees, I'd do it over and over again! The food was Eggcellent! I can't wait to come back and try more. Bummed I found it on my last day.

    I ordered the piri piri chicken sandwich, and while the chicken was juicy and flavorful, the pesto had a bit more of a spicy kick than I expected. Surprisingly, my favorite part of the meal was the side salad the dressing was so good that I think I enjoyed it even more than the sandwich. I also tried the coffee einspänner. The cream was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness, though once I mixed it into the espresso, I wished the drink had been a little sweeter.

    I can't write enough great things about this wonderful cafe. It's a great place to take your time and enjoy yourself. The coffee is so good and the vanilla latte is made with real vanilla beans. The food is seasonal and the menu changes often. The pastries rotate as well and there are so many good things to choose from. They also occasionally bake bread and if you're lucky you can score some if you come early. Service is the friendliest and they bring everything out to your table. I love coming here.

    Really loved PublicUs, so sad that I didn't try it sooner!! Super cute space, fair pricing, and lots of greenery and natural lighting. I got the death cream, chocolate chip cookie, and pecan cake. Everything was tasty, no complaints!

    Smash Avocado Toast with smoked salmon

    PublicUs is exactly what I hope to find when traveling: a vibrant third-wave coffee shop with great coffee, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The vibe is upbeat with subtle Japanese-inspired influences woven throughout the space. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, attentive, and impressively efficient. Despite a steady flow of customers, my order was taken and delivered in what felt like four minutes or less. A special shoutout to Bailey, who took the time to explain the menu and helped me select the perfect chocolate bar to take on my flight home. Ezra made the experience feel surprisingly personal, ensuring everything was taken care of and somehow always appearing at the right moment to refill my water before I even thought to ask. I was the VIP for my hour visit. That level of attentiveness is rare. The coffee was exceptional. My mocha latte with an extra shot was perfectly balanced--rich espresso, smooth texture, and just the right amount of chocolate without overpowering the coffee. Damian was absolutely working magic with the portafilter and steam wand. Every drink coming out looked like it belonged in a specialty coffee magazine. The pastry case deserves its own mention. It was filled with an impressive assortment of sinfully tempting baked goods, and judging by what I saw coming out of the kitchen, there isn't a bad choice on the menu. I was only in Las Vegas for a few days, but finding PublicUs was one of the highlights of my trip. If you're visiting Vegas and searching for a true third-wave coffee experience with exceptional service and food to match, stop looking. PublicUs is the spot.

    可看 不可吃。因该是中国人开的很多中国元素 The steak I ordered was $23 and it's the most expensive on the menu. I asked for medium but it turned out well done I would say. The seasoning was not enough, i feel like they forgot to add any salt on my steak. Its really dry as well and for the pink fruit in my plate for what i thought its dried guava, its actually carrots and was not my good at all The other plate we ordered was the corn beef. My brother ordered that and he said he got full only by the bread that's offered. It wasn't good as well. Overall, the food were mid but the environment were pretty chill. If you're looking for pictures and just a nice place to hang w friends and talk abt life () go to this place. PS. The bathroom has unique faucet and sliding door so make sure to check that out. the hand soap stinks.

    Curried Egg Salad Crossiant Sandwich
    Anne H.

    I tried this place in the morning before driving out of town as I had stayed with a friend in the area. This is on Fremont street but a few blocks away from the tourist area. I was able to park right in front so I could keep an eye on my car which was good because there were some obvious drug users skulking around. I have mixed feelings on the place but I'd give it another try next time. There seemed to be a lot of locals in the mix and the funky, fun atmosphere with plants was great. They have a very appealing menu with eclectic offerings from breakfast burrito to loco moco. For some reason I ordered the curried egg salad croissant sandwich. it just wasn't the thing to get. the crossiant was on par with Costco and the sweet chutney was jarring as I didn't detect curry seasoning. Thing was, as I was eating it I kept encountering hard cold lumps which I figured out was butter. There was a lot of it, some quite large. I asked the staff if if this was normal. One guy didn't know but another guy told me "this isn't like egg salad in the Midwest". I'm not sure what midwestern egg salad is like which I told him, but it was obvious he just meant it to insult me which is really weird. Otherwise the service was friendly at the counter. One issue with ordering is that I didn't see a menu until I'm at the register where they have it on the counter so it just kind of picked from the items in the case that I passed in line. While I was waiting I saw some very nice looking plates with beautiful slices of their sourdough bread. I took one home and it was very good and a generous size loaf. So go ahead and try the place, just try to look over the menu first.

    A cute cafe with really good coffee and surprisingly various options of brunch menu. Here for Saturday brunch after CES just over, expected for a long line, but it went pretty fast. The staff here are nice and efficient. Shalom is very nice and friendly. Love the smoked salmon toast here with mouthwatering salad (the vinaigrette dressing is great). The patty flavor is good but unfortunately overcooked and a bit dry. Gotta give the coffee here a thumbs up. Tried latte and mint and cream coffee, both are smooth and scrumptious. Pretty easy parking even on a Saturday. Will come back soon to their bento which looks soooo good from our next table.

    It tells you something when a coffee shop's food almost steals the spotlight from the coffee--lol. To be clear, the coffee is actually great, no complaints there. But what really catches you off guard is how good the food is for a place that's technically a coffee shop. Like... this is full-on café food, not an afterthought pastry situation. I had the loco moco and it's probably one of the best loco moco I've tasted it The vibe is industrial, busy, cool. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and it's the kind of place where you accidentally come just for coffee and end up ordering a whole meal haha Asian girl verdict: Legit good coffee Surprisingly amazing food More café-restaurant than "grab-a-latte" spot

    Smash Avocado Toast
    Sam B.

    Delicious brunch place with excellent entrees, pastries, and drinks. It's on the eastern edge of Fremont East near Fergusons Downtown. It has a hip vibe with wooden furniture, small trees, and kitschy decor on the bookcase walls. The Internets highly recommended the porchetta sandwich and the Leche de Madre but apparently that was very stale information because those haven't been on the menu in a while. I got the Smash Avocado Toast and the Espresso Old Fashioned. The avocado toast was unlike any avocado toast I've had before. It's definitely not something you can eat by hand. There's basically a gourmet salad on top of the avocado toast so you'll need to use a fork and steak knife. The Espresso Old Fashioned was stronger and more bitter than I was expecting. If you enjoy sweet lattes, you may want to try something else but if you enjoy espresso and such, you may like it. I was too full to try the pastries but they looked incredible and delicious. Will definitely be coming back here

    Smoked Salmon Toast
    Sydney T.

    Walked in and was transported to a calm, green, and eccentrically decorated place. The lattes are one size but smooth. I got the salmon toast and wow, the size alone shocked me. The micro greens were lovely just a bit overwhelming because they seemed to just be flopped on, versus placed with effort. Service was friendly and quick even for a bit of a morning rush. Look forward to enjoy my beans at home!

The latte was smooth and not too strong or sweet on the vanilla. I ordered the chipotle avocado omelet croissant and it was divine! I added bacon to it and I will say, it felt light on the bacon considering the up charge. The Chipotle aioli and avocado were nice but the croissant is what stole the show. Perfectly flaky and soft! The roasted potatoes were seasoned so well and the sauce that came on the side was really tasty! My friend ordered the Moroccan sandwich and added bacon which they forgot, but they gave it to us on a side plate after her husband asked about it. I think the quality in the pastries and quiches are there and I'd come back if I'm in Vegas again.
