Attention all caffeine fiends and bean enthusiasts! National Coffee Day is percolating just around the corner on September 29. Whether you’re a dawn-patrolling espresso shooter or a midday latte lingerer, Las Vegas has your fix.
But what makes the perfect cup of joe? According to the pros (yes, there’s a job called a “cupper” – professional coffee tasters), it’s all about the fantastic four: aroma, body, acidity, and flavor. Come with us on a whirlwind tour of our city’s most brew-tiful spots that tick all these boxes and more.

The Funny Library Coffee: Where Laughter is the Best Brew
Nestled in the Virgin Hotel, this quirky café serves more than just coffee – it’s also dishing out belly laughs. Step into this uproarious reading room, and you’ll find shelves lined with books that are more LOL than Dewey Decimal. Need a pick-me-up? Their La Colombe coffee will do the trick faster than you can say “knock-knock.” For those who prefer leaves to beans, J’Enwey teas are on standby to steep you in serenity.

If you’re feeling peckish, their menu is no joke, offering everything from flaky pastries to grab-and-go breakfast and lunch options. And if you’re looking to add a little “spirit” to your study session, they even offer bottled cocktails. Just remember, it’s five o’clock somewhere, but maybe not in the library.
The Funny Library Coffee invites you to let loose, have deep conversations, or share a few giggles. It’s far from your traditional “shh!” zone – in fact, the louder, the better! But don’t dawdle; this library checks out at 1 pm sharp. (Talk about a short story!)

Sambalatte Roastery: The Globe-Trotter’s Grind
If your taste buds have a passport, Sambalatte is your next destination. These bean wizards traverse the globe, hand-picking the finest coffee cherries like Indiana Jones went on a caffeine quest and came back with liquid gold.

At Sambalatte, the Master Roaster (yes, that’s a real title, and yes, we’re all jealous) prepares each batch with precision—and you can even watch the magic happen in their state-of-the-art coffee lab. The real showstopper is the Steampunk Coffee Machine.
Sambalatte doesn’t just serve coffee; it serves an experience. From their artisanal blends featuring unique beans from small, sustainable farms in Brazil and beyond, to their sweet and savory food selections that’ll make your taste buds do the samba. And if you visit their Boca Park location, prepare for a feast for the eyes as well. With exceptional décor and an upstairs lounge, it’s like the Ritz Carlton of coffee shops.

Bad Owl Coffee: Espresso Patronum!
Muggles and wizards alike, apparate to Bad Owl for a magical brew! This Harry Potter-inspired coffee bar will have you saying “Accio latte!” It’s like Hogwarts and Starbucks had a baby, and that baby grew up to be cooler than both its parents.

As you enter, you’ll be greeted by floating Hogwarts letters – no owl required for this delivery. Make your way to the back, and you might just find the portal to Platform 9¾. But instead of a train to a magical school, you’ll find something even better: a counter full of enchanted elixirs.
Channel your inner Gryffindor and try their Butter Brew Latte (it’s so good, it should be illegal in Azkaban). For those who prefer their potion straight up, their nitro brews and French press offerings will put a spell on your taste buds. The crowning jewel of their magical menu is the Bad Owl’s Brew (BOB). Topped with house-made sweet cream and cocoa, it’s like the Felix Felicis of coffee – liquid luck in a cup.
With locations spreading quicker than Floo Powder, Bad Owl is turning Las Vegas into a veritable Diagon Alley of coffee. So get your wand (or just your wallet) and apparate over for a cup of pure magic.

Gäbi Coffee & Bakery: The Secret Garden of Caffeine
Hidden behind an unmarked wooden door, Gäbi is the speakeasy of coffee shops. It’s so exclusive, even your GPS might get confused. But once you find it, oh boy, are you in for a treat!

Step into a vintage wonderland that’s part café, part time machine. The pièce de resistance is a giant glasshouse inside the café that houses their premium bakery. Yes, you read that right – there’s a house within a café.
Their coffee, roasted in-house, is good enough to make Juan Valdez jealous. But the real ‘bit of crumpet’ are their artisan pastries. Don’t forget to try their Lychee Rose Cake; and the Danmee Cake and Cream Kiss are close runners-up in the “too-beautiful-to-eat-but-you-will-anyway” category.
Gäbi sets the scene of a magical whimsical hidden coffee and tea house that would make any K-drama proud (in fact, this shop’s name is cinema-inspired). With an array of sitting areas and even an open greenhouse you can sit in (shoes off, please – this isn’t a barn), it’s the perfect spot for readers, dreamers, and anyone who’s ever wanted to star in their own romantic comedy.
So whether you’re there to sip, study, or stage an impromptu photoshoot (we see you, influencers), Gäbi Coffee & Bakery is ready to transport you to a world where coffee is king and every pastry is a work of art.

The Caffeine Machine: Flight Club
Ever wished you could sample multiple coffees without the jitters? The Caffeine Machine has your back with their ingenious coffee flights. (It’s like a beer flight, but you’ll remember it in the morning.)

At The Caffeine Machine, indecision is not just accepted, it’s celebrated. Can’t choose between hot and cold? Why not both? Their flights let you mix and match like a caffeinated DJ.
But it isn’t just about the coffee – it’s about the experience. The ambiance is as cozy as a warm mug on a cold day, with a mix of regular seating and couches. The staff are like coffee sommeliers, eager to share their bean-based wisdom and help you navigate their menu like a pro.
And for those who want to take a piece of The Caffeine Machine home (no, not the actual machine—put that down), they offer a variety of take-home items. You can even grab some fresh eggs from Cluck It Farm, a local Vegas farm. Because nothing says “I adulted today” like buying coffee and eggs in the same place.
Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur or just someone who can’t function without their morning joe, The Caffeine Machine is ready to take your taste buds on a first-class journey through the wonderful world of coffee.
