Visiting Female-Owned Businesses in the Arts District: Las Vegas Mixtape v5

5. Track #5: Dig It! Coffee Co., Arts District

With its infectious catchphrase—”Kindness. Coffee. Inclusion.”—Dig It! Coffee Co. on S Casino Center Blvd is a meaningful addition to the city’s cultural life. The bright, multi-colored space opened its doors in September 2022, and its patrons include Vegas-born, Emmy award-winning actor/director Matthew Gray Gubler from TV’s “Criminal Minds.”

Inspirational owner Taylor Gardner Chaney explains that the mission-oriented Dig It! caters to those who “recognize the importance of changing the future for the disability community in terms of fair pay and fair treatment in the workplace.

However,” she adds, “our fans are not just those within the disability community, but coffee lovers in general who care where their dollar is spent. We know there are lots of choices for coffee here in Vegas, and we’re grateful that people believe in what we’re doing while also loving our menu.”

Try their signature “Dirt Cup Latte,” consisting of dark & white chocolate, cookie crumbles, and a gummy worm. The “Fluffer Nutter Latte,” with peanut butter and expresso, also delivers a thrill. And you won’t leave hungry. Their avocado toast boasts a house-made romesco sauce, bagel seasoning, and chili oil. Another tasty option is their Benedict breakfast burrito.

Customers not only get to enjoy these offerings, but they contribute to a life-affirming business that “hopes to set an example of equality for all,” says Chaney, to whom I’m raising my glass.
