This cafe is very bright and welcoming with a lot of delicious brunch options. It was definitely busy but I was still able to grab a table on a Saturday afternoon and enjoy my food and drink! I really enjoyed their smoked butter latte and pumpkin toast.

I went to the James Cafe for lunch over the weekend. It was so cute inside!! I've driven past them a few times and didn't realize till recently they were a cafe! They are located in the Strip near Cinderlands. I ordered a Chai latte with almond milk and vanilla syrup and Pumpkin Toast. My chai was perfectly perfect!! When I saw the Pumpkin Toast on the menu I just knew I had to get it! It was their house made pumpkin cream cheese with walnuts, kale, and blood orange balsamic glaze; it was scrumptious!! I could've had like 3 orders of it. My boyfriend ordered the Grilled Cheese Sandwich with prosciutto. He said it was good! They had seating in the main area and also another room with tables as well. Plenty of space to work and get together with a friend!!l

Their cucumber toast was my favorite thing on the menu! It is a very cozy vibe inside and is perfect for a midday pickup. I always get their lavender lemonade.

Overall, such a fantastic coffee shop! I had a wonderful Burnt Almond Torte Latte (bonus points for having decaf espresso) - flavored so perfectly, being not sickeningly sweet. There is a bonus spare room and outdoor seating when the weather is good. The barista was so helpful with making recommendations and kindly explained how to use my new Coffee Passport. PLUS, they are dog-friendly! Just an A+ experience!

I had a huge coffee order (20 drinks) and James Cafe staff could not have been nicer and more accommodating. They were very fast given the size of the order and all the drinks were delish!

We were in the strip district Saturday afternoon, have tried all the existing coffee shops in that area. Wanted to try something new and with the google search this place popped up with a high rating.James Cafe has great atmosphere, felt very warm and homey. They had Customers already seated enjoying drinks, snacks and the wifi. We were greeted straightaway and the server was patient as we reviewed the menu and placed our order.We have a person that cannot have caffeine or dairy and the barista went above and beyond to meet our need. The coffee beans are ground fresh for each order and the taste of the coffee is excellent. The taste of the iced americano and the cafe latte were very good.We definitely will be back to enjoy the coffee and the relaxed atmosphere. Definitely serve top notch coffee.Dietary restrictions: They have non dairy options
