Aware Coffee

Decided to finally give this place a try and I feel like I have been missing out on a very close by hidden gem. I was a little hesitant on going because they don't have a huge breakfast menu, but I found that even though the menu is small, the food was absolutely incredible. I ordered the make it balsamic toast, and the caramelized onion jelly was super flavorful, it made the toast. And the lemon ginger dressing that I opted to go for on the salad, holy hell, it was delicious. The mochi donuts were fantastic. We decided to grab a half dozen to bring home to friends that were coming over and everybody raved about how good they were. The tiramisu, I believe it's a limited flavor, is so creamy and delicious.We got a couple coffees which whatever brand they use was really good. I got the cookie butter tiramisu latte which sounds like it would be sickening sweet, but it wasn't. I found it to be a really good ratio without even having to taper it down.The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. They were great at answering questions for us first timers and being friendly. The inside has a few really long dining hall style tables. They also have a bar that you can sit in that faces the outside. A very simple design inside but efficient. The ceilings are very tall, which added to a nice look. I'm really happy that this place is close to the house because it's somewhere I feel we will go frequently.

I really don't like making reviews when I'm unsatisfied with the business... but since I've been coming here for months now because I like how spacious and less busy it is. I can enjoy coffee, the food and actually work in quiet. But things changed.My favorite drink is the salted caramel latte and the sandwiches plus their salad is great to me...But the last few times I've visited, customer service has been really bad. I couldn't enter my rewards number and then it felt I was rushed when there was nobody in there. I really liked the customer service before. I would like to come back but not anytime soon

Aware is literally my favorite coffee and my favorite study spot in the whole wide world. The playlists are always fire, and there are always so many places to sit and get work done. The tables are big with lots of seating options and outlets, and also wifi. On top of that, the employees are always so friendly and accommodating. One time they made a small mistake on my drink, and I told them it was okay and they didn't have to remake it, then a few minutes later they brought me a new drink, remade to my specifications! So sweet and unnecessary. My absolute favorite thing here is the cold foam. Holy moly, I've tried every drink with the cold foam at this place and it blows me away. The cold foam cookie butter latte, pumpkin cold foam latte, and especially the tiramisu matcha latte. I love them all and have to spend so long deciding what to choose each time I come here. The only thing stopping me from coming here every single day is the price. I find it to be a little bit steep for coffee compared to other places in the area - for a large cold foam latte with alt milk and tip, it's pretty darn close to nearing $10. But if I'm at Aware studying all day, it's definitely worth it for the quality of the drinks and the good vibes of the study space. Love this place!!

Tiramisu latte was so good i come back for it once a week!! Matcha was a little bitter for my taste but some may like that! Service is always great and so is the music.

My friends and I decided to try out Aware for the first time this afternoon and we were pretty disappointed with the customer service. We walked up to the barista at the cashier and said hello, and she just stared back at us in silence. We immediately felt super awkward. She put our order in the computer and didn't even tell us the total, just stood there silently and waited for us to pay, with no "thank you, your drinks will be out soon" afterward or anything. It was an overall super uncomfortable experience, and we won't be returning.

I love the Matcha with tiramisu cold foam and their iced honey latte. It's a quiet place to study and work . I give this place a 4 star due to service is not consistent. There are 2 ladies that are friendly. I wish I knew the name of the young lady that typically works early in the morning during the week . She's the friendly one! Always inviting.

fruit tasted fresh and real - matcha was authentic. best matcha i had in vegas during my weekend visit!

This place is cute. High ceilings. Lots of long tables. I went in because I heard the Vietnamese coffee was good. I love Phin coffee: Vietnamese coffee filtered through a Phin while it drips onto condensed milk, mixed to a beautiful caramel color and then poured over ice. This is not it. When I asked the gentleman behind the counter if they used Robusta beans he said he didn't know. That should have been my cue not to order it, but curiosity got the best of me since others said they liked it. Unfortunately, not only did they forget my order but after they helped everyone who ordered except me. I had to repeat my order. While watching them make my order, I realized they had a premade batch (no Phin) and instead of condensed milk, it looked really watery...more like evaporated milk consistency. Two different things. Sure enough, taste was acidic not smooth like Robusta beans and whatever the "milk" was, it just didn't do the coffee justice. Now, if you're not used to good Vietnamese coffee, this is passable. I'm giving them a 3 for the aesthetics of the cafe itself and they did have a good mochi donut. If you're looking for a better representation of Vietnamese coffee, go to Pho Saigon where they actually use a drip or Pho Saigonese or Phin Smith.

When I am in different areas of town, and I have some time, I always look for a different coffee shop I haven't tried. Today, I opted to try Aware Coffee.This is definitely a place you need to be "aware" of before heading out. Its location does not face Eastern, so you can't just stumble upon it unless you're already visiting a business in the surrounding business area.From the outside, they have a sign but the windows are very dark so it almost looks closed from the street. When you enter in, the space is really open with long communal tables, some bar seating by the window, and a separate group area on the opposite side of a half wall. The decor is intentionally sparse, with the focal highlight being the large mural on one wall. Previous reviewers commented on how this is a perfect place to study. While it is not conveniently located near UNLV, I can see how the spacious tables would accommodate spreading out work to study. Teachers would also like the space to grade. My daughter said the lack of distracting decor would help her focus. I found the lack of decor to be uninviting..but I suppose my coffee seeking experience is more traditional than modern. When we arrived, there were not many people, but it did start to fill in when we left. There was only one barista. She was really friendly and accommodating.I always order a traditional drip coffee, and usually a latte. The drip coffee was very bitter and needed entire side of milk, 3 Splendas still had a bite. Some may prefer that flavor, it's not for me. It could also be that I prefer a sweeter sugar substitute. I usually use Sweet n Low, and they didn't have that. My initial cup was cold, and not because I had used too much milk. It was literally the bottom of the pot. I asked the barista for a new cup and she brewed a new pot altogether. The food choices are limited. We ordered a breakfast burrito. It was not bad, but wasn't remarkable either. It was basically a reheated frozen burrito. The highlight of the visit was the Iced Cookie Butter Tiramisu Latte. The sweetness of the latte and cream foam helped tame the bitterness of the coffee. It was not too sweet either, just make sure to blend the flavors together.Overall, I could see this as a local place to get a signature latte if I lived in the area and needed a quiet place to work. I wouldn't classify it as a remarkable coffee experience though. At $30 for 2 people, it's a little pricey for what you get.Coffee Rating: 3/5 beansFood Rating: 3/5 beansAtmosphere: 3.5/5 beansPrice: 3/5beansOverall: 3.5/5 beans

One of my staple cafe's on this side of town! And my favorite place to get work done/study A few of my go-to drinks that never fail are the iced tiramisu latte, vietnamese cold brew and their matcha lattes. Their espresso is amazing and smooth.I like that it never gets too busy, and when it does theres enough space to accommodate people without it feeling too stuffy.
