Zeffer’s Café — Restaurant in Las Vegas

This place has such potential. But when no one approaches your table within the first 10 minutes of seating, it is never a good omen. And an omen, it proved to be. That potential is squandered by the management, staff, and, poor design. The green orbs that light the room from above make everyone and everything looks sickly. The acoustics are awful. You can hear the people tables away as if they are at your table. The service was unusually slow. The table that was sat after us was served and done first. I noticed they also requested to speak to a manager... which the manager walked by their and our tables holding a walkie talkie to her/his face pretending to be busy... on their way to hug people or carry take out orders the hostess seemed incapable of handling herself. The waitress explained our order was mixed up. So it was being fixed, and it would be right out. It wasn't. Then she came again 15 minutes later saying almost the same thing. When we did finally did get our food, at least 45 minutes after ordering, it was not hot! How could food that was fresh be lukewarm on all of our dishes? The steak, the French toast, and the shrimp and grits… All lukewarm with hotter plates, than the food was that was on them. I know this trick are used to work in restaurants. That food had set back there dead under heat lamps. How in the world could food that was freshly made twice over, not be hot? The table that arrived directly after us was already gone by the time we got our food. I drink two pots of tea and a pineapple juice, and the time it took for the food to come and then I was still thirsty because there's nothing else there. They wouldn't bring the check at the end of the experience. I asled 3 different people. The manager wouldn't come as as I requested. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. I would've sent the food back if I had another hour to waste. This awfully lit, looking, and, sounding restaurant only gets two stars because the food, even though not hot, was pretty good. Avoid this place or enjoy the wait. I value my time and I value respect, so Imwill not return... I felt like I was being...

Zeffers Café offers a cozy, modern setting that makes for a pleasant spot to grab breakfast or brunch. I recently stopped by and had a mixed experience—some highlights, but also a few things to consider before you go.

I ordered the breakfast burrito, which was good. The flavors were nice, and it was clearly made with quality ingredients, but overall it didn’t blow me away. The portion size was enough for me, but I can see it feeling small to others, especially considering the $20 price tag. It’s definitely not a hearty plate if you’re showing up hungry.

I also got a latte, and this was honestly the highlight of my meal. It was smooth, rich, and well-balanced—one of the better lattes I’ve had recently. That said, it was pretty small for the $7 price. If you’re used to getting a larger coffee to start your day, this one might leave you wanting more.

The biggest drawback of my visit was the service speed. From being seated to placing the order, waiting for the food, and even getting the check—it all moved pretty slowly. It wasn’t that the staff were inattentive, just that the pace was really drawn out. So if you’re planning to go, make sure you’ve got some time to spare. This isn’t the place for a quick stop or a rushed breakfast before heading somewhere.

All in all, Zeffers Café has a nice vibe and solid coffee, but for the price and wait time, it didn’t quite meet the expectations. Worth a visit if you’re not in a hurry and are looking to relax with a good...

If you’re in Las Vegas and don’t start your day at Zeffers Café inside the Sahara Casino, you’re doing Vegas wrong.

We rolled in deep—a party of 8 hungry, slightly disheveled humans at 9AM on a Sunday, expecting the typical “you should’ve made a reservation” vibe. But no! We were seated in less than 10 minutes, which in Vegas time is basically instant teleportation.

Now let’s talk about the French toast. Holy syrup-soaked heaven. I don’t know what kind of sorcery they’re doing back in that kitchen, but this French toast could bring a grown man to tears. Fluffy. Golden. Just the right amount of crispy edges. I briefly considered proposing to it, but my friends said that would be “weird.”

The service? Impeccable. Our server moved like a caffeinated ninja—refilling coffee, cracking jokes, remembering all eight of our complicated orders without even writing them down. I wanted to adopt them by the end of the meal.

Also, the cleanliness of the place? Spotless. Like, “you could do surgery on this table” levels of clean. And everyone working there was so friendly, I started to wonder if I had stumbled into a parallel universe where all humans are just… kind and efficient?

Bottom line: If I could give Zeffers six stars, I would. Skip the blackjack table and bet it all on the French...
