This is a great neighborhood cafe. Super cute inside, friendly staff, and excellent coffee made with Passenger beans and made with really high quality equipment. Plenty of seating too! Can’t wait to visit again next time I’m in town!

This is a fantastic cafe a block away from the heart of the strip. Beautiful interior, and dog-friendly!! The staff were so kind and the food and coffee were awesome. My pup had a great time studying with me!

I love this little café, it’s somewhat of a hidden gem. I just happened to come across it when dropping my girlfriend off at the gym down the street and I’m really glad I did. The atmosphere and drinks are great.

I absolutely loved this cafe. I think this is located in the non-popular part of the strip and hence when I visited, there were not a lot of people, which was perfect for me. There is free Wi-Fi and you can work from here like I did, but just be cognizant of the fact that there are not a lot of power outlets. The barista and the staff were absolutely the sweetest and their energy was infectious. I got the cappuccino, which was extremely well-made and very delicious. The vibe of the place itself is great. it’s a modern looking cafe with sleek interiors and abundant lighting. I can see myself working from here.

I got the avocado toast, bread was delicious but the lemon oil completely overpowered the toast. Would be much better with just a little lemon juice. In general I’ve found this place to be overpriced. It’s very quiet nice atmosphere though if you are looking for somewhere to work. I like that when you order tea in they bring you a whole pot.

I enjoyed my visit to James Cafe. Their nitro cold brew was incredibly refreshing and had subtle chocolate notes that added a delightful complexity. The tall glass it was served in was a nice touch.
I also tried the Autumn Salad with smoked salmon, and it was fresh and tasty, although I was disappointed that they were out of apples. The cafe's seating arrangement, with seven round ceramic tables and a high table with four chairs, created a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The background music and ambient sunlight added to the relaxed and pleasant ambiance, while the modern decor exuded style. There was also outdoor seating available on the sidewalk with umbrellas for shade.
Parking can be limited, so be prepared for streetside parking. The service was friendly, and I felt welcomed. It's worth noting that James Cafe is a cashless establishment.

Adorable little stylish cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. There's also an additional seating room in the back by the public bathrooms. This is a perfect place to stop in for a drink or light snack/lunch with family or friends. Highly recommend the Huckleberry Cobbler Oat Milk Iced Coffee. The Barista's are nice. And it appears to be a dog friendly location.

Possibly the cutest coffee shop in the city. And, really good coffee with a variety of fantastic syrup flavours available. The lavender latte was prefect and not too sweet. The avocado toast was very good.
