My apologies for the lengthy and detailed review. The high points were: my breakfast sandwich was tasty, coffee was strong and prepared with a professional espresso machine that produced an excellent mug full of caffeine, service was excellent.
The lower points were: they don't open until 8 am and there are No Free Coffee Refills. Overall, it's NOT a breakfast sandwich restaurant, regardless of what their signage states. It is a French lunch cafe with a nice selection of salads and sandwiches.
Saw Facebook advertisement for Nanny's, checked its Yelp reviews, and then decided to try it out.
Nestled into a small strip mall, a couple of stores down from Weight Watchers, we found abundant parking. The front of the cafe has excellent signage announcing Nanny's French Breakfast Sandwiches. Ironically, they don't open until until 8 am, but are open until 4:30 weekdays. Saturdays are 8 to 3. Closed Sundays. Perusing their menu boards, it's obvious this is a lunchtime cafe. So, regardless of the cafe name, it's tasty lunch they serve rather than breakfast.
There were outdoor tables shaded with orange umbrellas.
Not surprisingly, there was only one customer during the time we were present on an "early" Friday morning. My wife completed her WW class at 7:30, but we couldn't go eat as the restaurant didn't open until 8. Instead, we went grocery shopping and then returned for breakfast. Normally, we would have gone elsewhere, but we really wanted to try Nanny's food. Though the food was very tasty, convenience will probably win out in the future. There are too many breakfast places in West Las Vegas to wait around for Nanny's to open.
The interior is bright, well lit, cheerful and inviting. The menus are large and easy to read. The entrance and tables are ADA compliant and easily allow wheelchair access. Ambiance was supplied by a Boom Box, which played French music that was easy listening with an uplifting beat.
The young French lady at the register immediately greeted us upon entry. She was friendly, courteous, and professional. Turned out, she was The Everything! From preparing and serving excellent coffee (expensive espresso machine) to cooking and serving our breakfast to taking our money, she demonstrated every necessary skill and provided superb service.
The coffee was great! It was strong and flavorful, but not overpowering. The quality of the coffee made sense given the professional espresso machine that prepared it. The mugs were white porcelain, clean, shiny, and large. None of the tiny, one ounce shot glass size, cups here. That was appropriate as there were NO FREE REFILLS. No guzzling down multiple cups of coffee!
I had a #1 Breakfast Sandwich. Served on a long rectangular white porcelain plate with actual metal flatware, it had a fresh and lightly crunchy slice of long bread roll stuffed with scrambled eggs. The bread had been flattened with a panini press and cut diagonally into halves. The inside of the bread was soft. The scrambled eggs with thinly sliced ham were cooked perfectly. There was a small side salad on the plate consisting of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and was lightly dressed in ranch. It was cold, crisp, and complemented the sandwich quite nicely. It was a simplistic sandwich with great flavor.
Overall, Nanny's makes delicious sandwiches (and presumably salads) with a French flair. You should spend a lunch time here enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and good food. read more
