Aroma Barista Bar — Restaurant in Las Vegas

Overall: 4.7/5 (dine in and take out)

I rarely go to the same place more than once but this coffee shop in Ahern Hotel & Events Center is a hidden gem! The coffee shop is really quiet & clean, there's plenty of seating, and their prices are great, especially during happy hour from 3-5 PM. I came 6 different times out of the 5 days I stayed at Ahern so I got to befriend barista Mayte who makes perfect coffee every time :) Not only is their coffee delicious, the pastries are also amazing!

Chicken BLT Wrap ($8.50): It's a cold wrap that comes with a side of ranch sauce. The wrap was filling and full of chicken strips. It barely had any lettuce and tomatoes though. Also lacking flavor so I had to dip it on the ranch sauce a lot. My least favorite food item I tried here.

Short Rib Quiche ($6): I usually do not have a good experience with quiche but this one was phenomenal. The short rib part caught my attention as I never saw this in a quiche before. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this combo worked, and the short rib was tender as well. The custard was so soft and jiggly. I savored each bite and did a little happy dance so I highly recommend this (heated up of course).

16 Oz Green Mountain Smoothie ($6): Not a bad tasting smoothie, just light in flavor. Easy to drink since there's no chunks and it's not icy. However, my mouth did feel a bit strange afterwards like tingly/numb so I'm not sure if I have a slight allergy to something in the smoothie.

During happy hour, you get a pastry and coffee combo for only $7 so I was basically here every day :) Both the espresso and cold brew drinks were strong. I usually avoid cold brew since I feel like most places make it watered down but not here.

Iced Hazelnut Twist Specialty Coffee: This was good but not my favorite. I thought it was basic in terms of the flavor profile but you can taste all the listed ingredients like honey and cinnamon.

Iced White Lavender Specialty Coffee: This is my favorite coffee drink I had here. Super tasty so I couldn't stop sipping it and ended up finishing it in instead of saving half for the next day.

Irish Cream Cold Foam: This was the only version of the cold brew section that I tried where the drinks weren't mixed up. I tried the cold brew by itself and it was strong and good! I typically avoid ordering cold brew drinks at coffee shops since I think it's watered down and/or not strong but this one was perfect! The cold foam wasn't too sweet and took a while to mix it in with the cold brew.

Sweet Cream Cold Brew: Tasted similar to the Starbucks sweet cream cold brew but stronger. This is also sweeter & creamier than the Irish Cream Cold Foam too. I do not recommend leaving this overnight since the heavy cream hardened into what looks like a white chocolate rim.

Carrot Muffin: My favorite pastry that I tried here. The muffin was so moist and tasty. Lots of carrot bits. The frosting went well with the muffin and is the right amount of sweetness.

Strawberry Croissant: This was my second favorite pastry. Their croissants are way bigger than any other coffee shops I've seen. This one was an open face version baked with cream filling, sliced strawberries, brown sugar clusters (?), and powdered sugar on top. I was mind-boggled with the first bite. It took a few more bites for me to comprehend all the flavor profiles and how they were working together. Although the carrot muffin was my favorite, this croissant was the most unique.

Bear Claw: This wasn't bad and pretty average. The filling's sweetness was too subtle so nothing stood out for this bear claw.

Pistachio Twist: This was my least favorite pastry since it barely had any taste. It didn't taste fresh like the other ones either. The twist wasn't as soft even after being heated up. The only thing I liked was that it included crushed pistachios in...

I was shocked by the quality of this cute little café in the Ahern Hotel. The selection of drinks was broad and ranged from the usual espresso offerings, to Vietnamese iced coffee, to really lovely seasonal specials. My visit was at the beginning of the autumn (pumpkin) season, and the pumpkin cold brew was great - not too pumpkin-y or overly sweet. I could tell the cold brew base was great on its own. Similar feelings for the pumpkin latte: balanced but with big pumpkin flavor. I appreciate that they had a variety of dairy options that includes oat milk. Each staff member that assisted me was polite, kind, and friendly. One of them shared that the cafe's pastry chef arrives at 3AM to make the pastries, and it shows! They were stunning, fresh, and rivaled the taste/textural quality of a great standalone bakery. All of the prices were very reasonable as well. Would strongly consider staying at the Ahern again knowing this café is...

lTucked away on the second floor of the Ahern Hotel, Adorable Coffee offers a tranquil escape from the bustle of the city. The quiet, well-lit seating area is perfect, forgetting work done or simply unwinding. The attendant was incredibly kind and helpful, suggesting a few drink options tailored to my preferences. I opted for a double espresso, which was fantastic—bold, well-bodied, and rich in flavor. I also tried the white chocolate cream foam cold brew, a bit sweeter than my usual taste but a delightful treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. Though the pastry selection was tempting, I had to save room for dinner. Still, the display was enticing enough to warrant a return visit. If you're looking for a serene spot with quality coffee and excellent service, Adorable Coffee is...
