Great little cafe in the strip. The coffee is consistent and delicious - I appreciate the single size cappuccinos so the milk/espresso ratio is correct. They've got quite a few tasty food options too.

A little further away from the main Strip area, James cafe is quiet and very cute, great to read or get some work done. Tried their single origin coffee, which was a great, dark blend and had free refills which is always a plus for me. Staff was great and loved the interior! Their baked goods were good, but I did find my scone not that flavorful, hardly tasting the lime, citrusy flavor at all, but I’ve heard great things about their other options! Nice pricier spot a little away from the crowd, would recommend stopping by to check them out!

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 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.
