I wanted to love this place. It took several visits to actually find them open, and it seems their hours and menu have changed a lot over time. 8AM is a little late to open a coffee shop if you're hoping to grab neighborhood business, and I would think closing on a Sunday would cost them business from people exploring the cute downtown area.
They focus mostly on beverages, with some limited grab and go food items and pastries. Menu had wraps listed as "coming soon", but I saw no mention of the breakfast quiches and sandwiches mentioned in other reviews.
The coffee I got was decent- they have a few unexpected flavors for your latte, like mint, which is seasonal elsewhere. I don't know if they were out of nonfat milk when I went, or if they don't stock it, but they do have soy and almond available?
If you go in the late afternoon, they discount their pastries: cupcakes were BOGO when I went. The pina-colada flavor stuck to the wrapper and didn't wow, but the classic red velvet was well done and disappeared quickly.
Service was friendly. Space is large for groups, quiet for studying, and has a lending library available on site, which I thought was a great touch. Though it's on Water Street, it's not a particularly high-traffic area so it seems this spot is still fighting to stay open and find it's niche in the community.Helpful 16Thanks 0Love this 12Oh no 0 - Allison S.Las Vegas, NV313243673Dec 16, 2016
This place has been many coffee shops in the past several years. I'm hoping this one sticks around. I'm happy this place at least has normal business hours. I've been in a couple times now that they are under new ownership. I dig their coffee. Not the best, but definitely not the worst. The prices are not to steep. But I have to say this.... If your business's name has cupcakes in it then your cupcakes better rock. I've tried their mini cupcakes twice and have regretted it both times. The frosting is horrible and the cake is dry, dry, dry with no flavor whatsoever. Put it this way I could do better.
Coffee House and Sweet Buttercupcakes definitely should step up their cupcake game or just drop the cupcakes off the name of the business completely and stick with coffee. Fingers crossed this place sticks around. Goodness knows old Henderson needs a decent coffee option other then Starbucks!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Genevieve P.Las Vegas, NV57667187Oct 7, 2015
I love coming to old Henderson!! It's a cute little town where they have different shops on the streets.
Driving around to look for a coffee place, we found this spot! I like the surrounding, it has that college vibe inside. Ordered the caramel latte, and chocolate chip that's baked from scratch! The chocolate chip is a must try, it's so soft and super chocolatey! Latte wasn't bad, but I've had better.
Tip: don't forget to check in on Facebook....they give you 10 percent off your order!Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Ashley F.Las Vegas, NV1875826Mar 22, 2017
Randomly took a trip to far Henderson with my boyfriend to see his mom at work (we live near summerlin) and while he and his mom went to wells Fargo, I decided to stop in here. Really quaint and the barista was very friendly in helping me with my order (a vanilla iced coffee with almond milk). Side note: it's great that they have two milk alternatives. I'm not a fan of soy milk. There's random big, comfy chairs to sit on and even a record player with records to choose from (not sure if decoration or useable!) The iced coffee is delicious. Not too sweet, nor bitter. Didn't try the cupcakes as I'm on a low carb diet (no bread for me haha) but they looked good! Good choice stopping in here and getting my quick pick me up :)

A quaint little cafe sandwich shop across from the El Dorado n Rainbow casinos. Love discover in jems like this ever since movin here to Vegas. And the Henderson area has so much to offer, love the old town vibe of this area. The Coffee House is a great example of neighbourhood hospitality. Friendly services n personal detail attention to meet each customer's needs. Outstanding in every ways: food, service, drinks, etc.

We had he tuna sandwiche, turkey and provolone and a grilled cheese (just ask and they make kid friendly sandwiches) and an Americano. The tuna was the BEST! We enjoyed the atmosphere and the lovely staff! Would've had cupcakes but heading to the farmers market for shaved ice :)

It's a fantastic mom and pop coffee shop. They have food items listed on the menu I posted. They also have a few pastries like cookies, muffins, and scones. They have a fantastic mint latte. The mint syrup is made in-house. Anyway, good for meetings and studying and just spending quality time with anyone or yourself. There is background music that isn't too loud. They have a books available for anyone to read. They have board games also available for anyone to play. I really want this coffee shop to get more business so please don't be afraid to give it a try.

I want to love The Coffee Shop. I really do. I am a fan of independently owned coffee shops, and with this being on Water Street in old Henderson, it's close to home.
My biggest issue with The Coffee Shop would have to be the operating hours. Opening on weekdays at 8 am means there is no chance of me stopping in here for a cup of caffeinated goodness before work. Closing weekdays at 2 pm means there is no opportunity to swing by after work either. And with The Coffee Shop being closed on Sundays, that means Saturdays are the only days I can get coffee here.
Allison S. and I stopped in on a Saturday hoping to get a little breakfast and some caffeine before starting a day of shopping. The food menu was limited to sandwiches, salads and some crepes, so we inquired about other breakfast offerings. The man working, who I believe is the owner, suggested a souffle which sounded excellent so we each decided to get that as well as a drink.
Food is made to order at The Coffee House, which we were warned about when we ordered, so there was a short wait for our breakfast. There was a musician playing the guitar and singing both covers and original songs for us to enjoy as we waited. Our drinks came out rather quickly, mine was one of the daily specials and it was excellent. I wish I could say that the food was as good as the drinks. I don't eat a lot of souffles, but I am pretty sure that they are not supposed to be quite as runny as the ones we were served were.
I'd love to return to The Coffee Shop for more caffeinated drinks, but unfortunately due to the hours it may be a while before I get a chance to do so.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Candice D.Henderson, NV361414Jul 2, 2016
Adorable little place off of Water Street in old Henderson. I came in on a Saturday morning, the service was friendly and quick. My husband and I both ordered ice coffees, he had a bagel and I tried 2 of their mini cupcakes. The red velvet and the lemon with strawberry frosting were delicious and freshly baked. For everything it was under 11 dollars, surprising inexpensive. We will be coming back!
