The Beat Coffeehouse

I don't drink coffee, but well priced beers and a the service is always fast/friendly.  Up and coming location it's fun to sit here and watch the riff raff mixed in with the normal people out on the town just out the window :)

My favorite place to hang out in downtown lv.  Super friendly staff, accepts cards via square, and both the food AND coffee is amazing.  I'm addicted to the greek yogurt which is loaded with fresh fruit, oats, and toasted coconut.  Baguette pizzas are also great and is a huge serving.  Even though I don't even live in vegas, I see someone I know or recognize a lot of the time I come in.  It's super comfy and relaxing inside.  Not too pretentious like a lot of the cool people coffee spots in SF but still packed with personality.

My only minor complaint is that some of their cool vintage chairs aren't super comfy but there are benches, barstools, and a couch if you are picky like me. This doesn't warrant taking away any stars bc this place is awesome.

I stopped by here this past Sunday morning as they were opening.  I had actually made it done there at about 8:45 but say that they didn't open until 9.  The inside of this place is pretty cool and feels like a nice intimate coffee shop.  They have a number of tables all over the place and then a bar to sit at which I imagine goes over well if someone was there drinking a beer.  The name of the shop also derives from the fact that sell records as well as coffee.  For my morning coffee I decided to have a large Americano and also ordered one for my fiance to take back to our room.  From the time I got there until I left it took over 15 minutes, and that's only with two people in front of me in line.  Granted they had a little register issue and then one of the customers in front of me received a large latte only to inform the barista that she needed the small that she ordered because she didn't want that much milk. However, whenever I finally tried the coffee I found it to be worth the wait.  Strong and Smooth which was perfect to enjoy by the pool in the morning.

The bottom line for me is that I would definitely stop by here again in the future.  It's not too far from the fremont street experience, their coffee is pretty good and I would rather give a local coffee shop my money than to a big chain place.
