    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    Garden Farm Benedict
    Kayla C.

    This is a wonderful spot for breakfast or lunch! I absolutely loved the garden farm Benny, full of flavors and sauces and color. The veggies were grilled with garlic and seasoning, the potatoes were crispy and the sauces on the Benedict went well with the arugula and sourdough. Loveeeee the sourdough! The biscotti was just soft enough in a perfect way and tasted so good dipped in the mint coffee. This place did have a bit of a wait at 130pm and it is an order and then sit establishment. Street parking was free due to being Sunday.

    Jessie G.

    Sat in the cafe to read over paperwork - dense content made easier to absorb while surrounded by a zillion manekineko. Don't get stressed out about the line or a seat. Both are entirely less drama than you'd think. Little pour-over set is my beverage of choice. Bathroom is very clean and the handsoap is nice.

    I have only great things to say to anyone who asks about Public Us! The drinks are delicious, hot or iced. The pastries are delicious, warmed or not. The service is consistently nice and super friendly. There is a good amount of seating, some communal tables and some two seaters. My favorites are a hot vanilla latte and a blueberry scone. I also recently discovered soft screamed eggs with a hot dark chocolate mocha. I recommend this place to anyone coming to Vegas. And if you happen to have any issues with your order, be sure to say something because they are so into making everyone's experience the best. Park in the adjacent lot and grab a validation skip on your way out. Enjoy, pretty much anything, as it's all delicious.

    A friend recommended we stop here for breakfast or lunch on our way to Zion, Utah. We always make a…read morestop in Vegas to stock up on groceries and grab brunch before heading to Zion for camping. The food here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious - but they really need to step up their dishwashing and make sure the food is served hot. There's nothing worse than ordering coffee and seeing purple lipstick on the rim of your cup. It makes you want to leave right away. Then comes the inner debate - do you say something and risk being that customer, or just wipe it off and move on? On top of that, getting food that's supposed to be hot but arrives cold is frustrating. You sit there wishing you were at home where you could just microwave it - because the food is that good and would taste even better at the right temperature. Our experience wasn't helped by our waiter, who seemed disinterested after the lipstick incident (same guy mentioned in previous reviews that comes off rude AF/ agreed!). We didn't feel like asking for much after that. On the bright side, one of the waitresses was amazing - she looked like she was carrying the whole place. The chef clearly knows what she's doing because the food coming out of the kitchen was fantastic. That said, attention needs to be paid to cleanliness and serving hot food. There's no excuse for that. Despite these issues, I gave it five stars because the problems are fixable and don't take away from how incredible the food is. For reference, we visited on Friday, January 3rd, in the morning. There was a nearby parking structure and no wait time. The decor is a mix of farm-to-table and modern bistro - nothing overly exciting or disappointing. We were just looking for a good brunch spot, and this place is truly a hidden gem. Hopefully, they address the concerns we mentioned because it's worth coming back for! __________ To the Chef, Your food is incredible - truly Michelin-worthy. However, the staff is serving it cold and sometimes on dirty dishes. This isn't the first review mentioning these issues. Also, the tall white guy with grey hair was incredibly condescending and rude. Hospitality doesn't seem to be the right fit for him. It's disappointing to see someone like that representing the amazing work and love you pour into your dishes. On the flip side, the waitress with long brown hair was picking up the slack and holding the place together. She deserves recognition - maybe even a promotion. I hope you see this because if the team can consistently serve food hot and on clean dishware, this place could easily become the top brunch spot around. We appreciate your talent and hope this feedback is helpful! - Vee & Mike

It has a rustic, darker ambiance and not your usual bright and sunny brunch spots. The menu not too big, but offered enough varieties that we decided to try the biscuit and gravy as well as the corned bee hash. We also got house coffee and they were from mother ship coffee. Food came out quickly, but they were lukewarm and felt like it was already made and just put under a food light to be kept warm. The biscuit was good and soft, but the gravy was a little too salty. The corned beef came in a smaller portion than I expected, and the beef was diced too thin that they didn't have great texture and flavor. Coffee was good, but overall food was not as good as we'd expect. Service was average, the waitress was nice but didn't offer much service besides bringing out initial water and coffee over. No one really checked in on us after the food was served. I'd most likely not be back as there are many other brunch places in the downtown area to explore.

We were enjoying the music and it was a vibe until it came to pay the bill. At 9:30 PM, a full 30 minutes before the posted closing time of 10:00 PM, the staff began rushing us out while my wife was still eating. When it came time to pay our bill, our bank cards were temporarily unavailable due to a system outage. We had the money. This was not a financial issue. It was a technical one we were actively working to resolve. Instead of being given a moment, security surrounded our table and treated us as though we were attempting to leave without paying. We were not. We never attempted to leave. I want to note that a couple of the security members were actually kind and professional throughout. A manager then approached with immediate hostility white male, tattoos, wearing a white crop shirt, and beige pants) no introduction, and no interest in hearing our explanation. I want to Emphasize That everyone working there refused to give me his name (white male) I even attempted to ask him and he walked away. He made demeaning remarks about our finances and specifically told us that if we didn't pay, he would call the police and trespass us, but if we paid, he would not. We paid. My brother sent $30 via Zelle directly to a security staff member to settle the bill. It was paid in full. He called the police anyway. And trespassed us anyway. I had offered to leave my ID as collateral, leave card information on file, or return the next morning. Every offer was refused before we even got to that point. The responding officers acknowledged his behavior was inappropriate. His own staff was visibly uncomfortable. Unless you are prepared to be treated as a suspect over something completely outside your control, I would think twice before dining here.

Bacon Nation slaps slices on just about everything but French toast, and even that can be topped with bacon butter and bacon-infused syrup. The build-your-own omelet is a worthy breakfast, stuffed with two veggies and two meats of your choice. Cheddar, diced onion, and two types of bacon inside three eggs was a winner. Be sure to get some thick bacon slices to go (mango habanero, maple glazed, honey-cured) - always nice to chew on during that nine hour Sunday evening drive back to SoCal. And unlike those anorexic slices that fast food places put on their burgers, you can actually taste this bacon. Open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., they serve lunch too and if you're in 'growling stomach mode', try the Boarrito but be forewarned - this is a pork-fest of a monstrosity that's not designed for consumption by weight watchers or thoroughbred jockeys. A large tortilla filled with ham, sausage, bacon crumbles, pulled pork, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo is then wrapped on the outside with countless slices of more bacon, smothered with cheese sauce and sour cream...now I need to take a nap just thinking about digesting it.

Bacon Nation is located on the D's second floor inside a very clean and bright dining room with lots of booths, a counter, and an ultra-pleasant hostess named Angel. In summary, a well-earned 5 oink review is deserving because their food is that darn good. "Everywhere there's lots of piggies, living piggy lives.
