Desert Wind Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Las Vegas

Have you ever had those days where everything just seems to be a crap shoot... And you just feel run down and just overall out of it???

Well... Here's the solution... Get some coffee from Desert Wind Coffee Roasters!!! :D

Let me tell ya...i had to get up early to goto the doctor and i was craving some caffeine...eeeerrr... Coffee! ;) Did a search on yelp and Desert Wind Coffee Roasters came up...i was feeling very very tired.... Very very run down when i walked in... But the aroma of the coffee just slaps you in your face and wakes u up!

As i walked in enjoying the aroma of the coffee beans....i was greeted right away....i asked him for a suggestion when he asked me what i wanted. He suggested the Heisenberg (sp?) And the other guy concurred. So i got that one to drink there and an iced toffee nut to go.

OMG.... The heisenberg... Was amazing. The perfect balance of sweet to the natural bitterness in coffee. It was just amazing. I could have drank gallons of it and been bouncing off the walls and i would have been happy! I mean as soon as i finished it, i was already craving another one! Yes it was that good! They know good coffee!! Flavor (7/5)

They even put the toffee nut latte into the reach in for me to keep cool until i was ready to go. That was my preference. They would have made it for me fresh when i was ready to go if i had wanted it that way instead. Can we say great service? Service (5/5)

And honestly, after i drank the heisenberg... I had the caffeine kick that i needed and the world looked rosier and i was energized to last the entire day! And yes i drank the toffee nut latte while i was driving to work... Yup that was the cherry to top it all off....

Coffee tasted great.... Service was great.... I'll...

For a roaster, I was expecting a bit more. While the coffee excelled in caffeine content, it fell quite behind in flavor.

I had an americano. However, this roaster is oddly known for its mixed coffee drinks; namely, the Walter White (a concoction of double espresso, chocolate syrup, and half & half). Maybe I tried the wrong drink.

The coffee, without all the sugar and cream that the Walter White has, had a poorly roasted flavor. It tasted a bit too darkly roasted and held a bitter, almost soapy, flavor similar to what I’ve experienced with Seattle’s Best. Maybe I was expecting too much out of the bean quality but, for me, a good americano envelopes it’s own smooth, almost milky, flavor and texture.

The coffee was a bit too harsh for me to give this place another try. That said, it was cheap and definitely caffeinated me. If that’s what you’re seeking, I think it’s probably just as good as Starbucks but you get to support a local small business. If you’re seeking artisan roasted coffee, look elsewhere.

Edit: The next day I went to Avery’s Coffee down the road and experienced a much better americano. Again, I drink my coffee black with...
