Stopped by this coffee shop in the Water Street District on a Friday mid-morning, and had a nice experience overall. Parking was easy. There's plenty of street parking and nearby lots. I found a space and only had about a two-minute walk to Public Works. The space is industrial but cozy, and I love the little community library in the red phone booth. That's such a cute touch and very on-brand for a neighborhood spot. It also turns into a wine bar at night. I ordered the iced matcha honey latte with almond milk. It was good, but definitely on the sweeter side. Almost milkshake-like. (Not frozen, just thicker and sweeter than a traditional matcha). I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for an earthy or classic matcha. The texture was a bit grainy with some settling at the bottom, and I did get a small clump in one sip. Not a big deal, just noticeable. If I had to guess, they use a pre-sweetened matcha powder. They don't advertise having pure or ceremonial matcha, so I'm not too pressed. Just sharing my experience. Service was quick and I got my drink within just a few minutes. There's plenty of indoor seating plus a spacious, dog-friendly patio. The vibe is very social and family-friendly, with lots of conversation, families, and groups. I personally wouldn't come here to study or work, but it seems like a great spot to meet with friends or family, or just a casual coffee run. I'd come back when I'm in the mood for something sweet. I'm curious to try the Cuban latte next time since it gets so much love. I'm glad I checked this place out. read more

Public Works - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

They just seem to know what makes coffee Work. Public Works is a coffee bar that has called Henderson's Water Street home for years and years. I remember visiting once but maybe or maybe not buying a drink, then just never returning since it was a bit out of the water. But I relocated to a closer Henderson neighborhood and started checking out some of the nearby casinos, and it just seemed like a good idea to stop by today... and take advantage of a casino partnership as well. I tried two drinks. The Cold Brew ($7.00, 24 oz) felt like a dark roast at first but expressed mostly fruity notes later on. It was certainly smooth and low in bitterness and acidity. I also wanted to try a latte since that tends to be where these cafes get the most creative. The Cuban Honey ($7.00, 16 oz) was the recommendation of the employee at the register, and it was simple and tasty enough. Milk, honey, and cinnamon are some very classic and comforting flavors, and they're beautifully balanced in this latte. I was also interested in trying a quiche ($5.95), so I did. They come as a compact "personal" size and apparently just get heated warm for you even if you're taking them to-go. The Florentine is definitely spinach-forward but also seems to have mushrooms and caramelized onions. The crust is suitable, the egg custard isn't the most amazing, and it leans a bit salty overall, but it's an enjoyable food option. I probably blew past the parking lot which I'm vaguely aware of, but that's because parking was actually available on the street. Some spots were marked for 12 min only, but there were plenty of open unmarked spots a few yards up. The place was almost empty around Saturday lunch too. I have no idea why since it seemed quiet enough for a study or work spot. Public Works has filled a coffee-seeking niche in this area of Henderson for a long time, and hopefully they'll do so for years to come. If you play at Emerald Island or Rainbow Club, ask the casino about using points here since it's as good as money. read more

First time here and loved it! The place itself had a lot of good seating and an outside patio too! The service was amazing and the two guys working were nice and had good vibes! I got a cold brew coffee with oat milk and toffee nut flavoring. The taste of the coffee was delicious! They also have the small ice that's fun! Will be back to try some more coffee and other menu items! They also have beer and wine that I want to come back and try! read more

Tried this place for the first time and the vibe inside is cute. I asked the cashier what was the most popular iced coffee and they both weren't helpful and only pointed out their current new flavors. Before I even could pay, I got my regular Caramel iced coffee. (Looks like they have a brewed coffee ready and just poured some in real quick then added the milk) so it makes me wonder how long that brewed coffee has been sitting there. It tasted pretty bad so I was upset how everyone raves about their coffee. Cheese danish was good warmed up though. read more

Excellent service Excellent coffee Laid back atmosphere/ambiance is hipster This was my first time coming here, as every time I'm on Water Street, they are closed. I'm so sad that I've never been here before!!! This place is awesome! Coffee and some breakfast items are available in the mornings, and evening time they are a really cool wine bar (yes, yes, I will be coming back for vino!) Tons of seating available, and they have covered seating outside as well. Dog friendly patio, as far as I could tell, as well. Very clean and super cute indoor area. They even have live music on certain days. Swing by and support LOCAL! This place is better than Starbucks, for sure. read more

I hadn't been here in a long while, and thought I'd give this place a go. My daughter and I ordered a PSL and a cinnamon roll. The coffee was not too bold, and the pumpkin flavor was not over the top or too light either. The cinnamon roll was fresh. They get them from Flemming's European Bakery on water street. I would have liked a few more options for food, but I understand that with fresh offerings, you get more selection the earlier you come. There wasn't a line when we arrived, and they were prompt with the coffee as well. We liked the comfy chairs they have available. However, they also have cafeteria style tables and high tops for people who need a workspace. I liked the phone booth of books. I thought that was a clever use of space. I was also surprised to learn about the attached wine bar. The last time I was here, that wasn't there...so it's been awhile. I'm glad I made it back. read more

Stopped by after at an early Saturday morning and figured we'd try out their coffee and breakfast. They're located in the Water Street District and it was nice seeing that the area has been cleaned up. The coffee shop/wine bar has a cozy ambiance and is self seating, definitely would get crowded if you're here later in the day. We got two iced vanilla latte as well as the salmon lox toast and the Loraine quiche. Coffee came quickly and food took a while, big overall the wait wasn't too bad. Coffee is decent but not the most flavorful, and the food had good portions and plenty of flavor as well. There's not much service for the mornings, as you order at the counter and get your coffee and food from the counter when they're ready. They're also using disposable utensils and to go boxes, so it feels more of a grab and go place than a sit down, relaxing coffee spot. Give it a try when you're in the area! read more

I paid a visit to nearby City Hall to drop off my electoral ballot and I decided to swing by Public Works Coffee Bar for a coffee and a light snack on my way home. This Public Works is the standalone location, with the other one being inside America First Center, the arena where the Silver Knights play. I've actually never been this far down Water Street before and was amazed to see new local business that I've never seen before, especially Public Works. There were a few parking spaces right out front, but despite the ridiculous heat that we're in right now, I chose to park in the parking lot just up the street and walk over because, I did not dare to parallel park on the street, which is something I haven't done since my driver's test over a decade ago. The staff was full of energy and were singing along to the early 2000's music playing. Heck, it made me want to sing along with them! With it being so hot outside, I ordered a large iced coffee with vanilla flavoring and a bagel with cream cheese as my light snack. They have a very nice, spacious patio outside but I chose to remain inside due to the heat. The coffee really hit the spot and it just burst with that vanilla flavor upon my first sip. The bagel with cream cheese, which was warmed up, was soft and had lots of added flavor to it with the cream cheese. I had the first half as my snack for that day and the second half as my breakfast the next day. The best part is that my bagel didn't dry out overnight, which meant it was still edible. I loved the phone booth inside which had books and Polaroids of random dogs! This reminded me of my recent trip to Europe, where I saw a real life but out of service phone booth in Scotland that resembled the one here. If you're in or around Water Street and need a coffee fix, Public Works is your place. Come check them out! read more

I was at this restaurant right before the St. Patrick's Day parade. While waiting for our drinks, my friends and I felt unwelcome by the staff. They did not let us sit down because they were using the chairs to block off the patio doors. While waiting for our drinks, we were constantly being stared down by the staff. The man who I believe was the manager yelled across the store "that chairs gonna have to go back where it was." and continued to stare down my friend until she put it back. We left as soon as we got our drinks. The whole environment felt tense, rushed, and uncomfortable. Other customers said the same thing. Very disappointing. read more

Cute spot with a small wine shop attached. I love that it has a little book exchange as well!

Staff was friendly and helpful but the iced hazelnut mocha wasn't great for the $8 price point.. espresso tasted burnt and the flavoring was too sweet read more

I like going to local coffee places over larger chains, so when I saw this one I had to go. The drinks that I got tasted amazing. I got a honey/lavender iced matcha also an iced toffee-nut latte. The service was also fantastic. The girl at the counter was super sweet even though clover didn't want to load for her. The shop itself is super cute. I love the mural that's painted on the outside of the building, and the decor inside read more

Been here before but it was crowded and noisy so we haven't been back. This Saturday around 11:30am was perfect. There were some ppl there but plenty of seats/tables to enjoy. They have slightly renovated since the last time I can here with nicer bar stools and nicer furniture. Looks like they are going to stay open later this June as they are opening a wine bar of sort. Can't wait for it. The coffee is always nice here to enjoy. We got our lattes and worked away. WiFi was easy to connect. Very clean shop. Workers were all attentive and there were a steady amt of ppl coming to grab their day's coffee fix. Plenty of seatings outside as well. It was too windy today for us to sit outside but would love to do that on a nice day. read more

Excellent Service! The Staff is always friendly and helpful when we come here. This is our third time trying this place out and we loved it the first time! The problem is we enjoyed everything so much we kept forgetting to take pictures before eating. Love the Cuban Honey coffee, the Lavender, Caramel and Chocolate Latte. The Lox and Bagel is to die for, if you want to share ask for it open faced, and my number one favorite is the Avocado Pesto Toast! I will eat this until the Apocalypse!!! read more

The service was not great. The barista was far from friendly. The egg with avocado toast was a hard pass. The positive was the quiche.

This coffee shop is in the water district in Henderson and is nicely decorated. We had the matcha honey and cheese egg bites and both were good. The service could be better but will try again. read more

This place has a cool vibe Coffee is above average I mean a place that serves wine and coffee in the same place you think would have more hipsters and less hendertuckians This is at the very tippy end of water street where you think "I didn't know this road went this far" I would come back to this place I will say if you sit outside you get to see that people do not know how to park read more

Great coffee bar. Nice outdoor seating area in downtown Henderson. Nice bar seating food was OK, and service also OK. Seems like a place for regulars, a place to go and relax and waste a few hours on a Sunday Morning. Enjoy. read more

The Cuban honey coffee was delicious. Cashier wasn't very welcoming or friendly and seemed annoyed when I couldn't decide what I wanted, typical for hipster coffee shops lol but overall wasn't too bad. They had a nice quiet area in the back which I also liked. read more

Great espresso is of vital importance, so I try to find a great shop wherever travels might take me. On a recent soccer trip to the Las Vegas area, it was great to find fantastic coffee at Public Works. This was the best espresso we had in the area by a wide margin. Beans seemed to be freshly roasted. The baristas made high quality drinks, and the service was fast. the shop is in a sleek, brand-new industrial space, and it looked brand new. Great coffee in a nice setting! read more

Cute little coffee shop on Water St. Amazing service. Super friendly. Will be coming back weekly! Haven't tried their food yet but will definitely be exploring that menu too. read more

Love the coffee here! Must try the specials because they are fun and delicious. I tried the psyduck, and it was so good - loved the butterscotch flavor. Our group met there in the conference room, and it was a great morning meeting spot. There is a parking lot off to the side plus street parking. Easy to walk up to and order. Eclectic artwork inside and a huge mural outside. Really nice spot to grab coffee and connect with friends or business associates. read more

Because who doesn't want to go to a place that has wine on one side and java on the other. Hello? Party on the left and the right? Sign me UP! The hazelnut mocha was delish, not too sweet and with almond milk, sooo good. My companion's double espresso was doubly delicious and so was the avocado toast he inhaled. We sat at the bar jabbering for a few hours and the cute kids even gave us some waters while we lollygagged! We will be back! read more

This is a very cute coffee shop / wine bar. There is good seating and in an open and bright atmosphere. I ordered my usual latte and on the downside what I received was a cappuccino. But, it was a pretty good cappuccino with nice froth. The temperature was good and it was served in a real mug which I like, but it was a coffee mug and not a latte mug so that could be improved. Overall, it has a nice homey vibe and is a pretty good spot for your coffee fix. read more

The hostess was awesome! The couple we were with were coffee drinkers and we are wine drinkers, so we were both satisfied! The setting was perfect and we were able to relax while watching people walk by on Water street! read more

Have been here twice. Love the service everyone has been nice. Definitely a local vibe. Coffee was good. I learned from the baristas what I want and don't want for coffee. Muffins were tasty with a good soft crumb to them. Worth getting coffee from supporting local businesses. I would go again before I leave the area. read more

We went to this coffee shop around 9 am and bought some coffee and bagels for ourselves and our friends. When we paid the 2 male workers had a rly bad attitude toward us. We paid with card and we didn't tip. I was going to pay cash tips but after the workers seeing that we didn't pay tips with card they kept saying things like thats crazy, what the hell, and kept looking us wired and made us very uncomfortable. After getting out coffee the worker as me if there is a reason why I didn't tip and that was weird question to ask because why would I tip if the service is bad. I was afraid they did something to out coffee and didn't feel comfortable drinking. Anyways, had a bad experience. read more

I have come here quite a few times since my initial review because I love introducing this place to people who have never heard of it (or just didn't know what Water Street is becoming). Everything I said before stands and I actually think they've gotten better over time. The shop itself is cute with plenty of seating and a really nice vibe. You could hang out here all day if you wanted. The drink selection is fantastic and when they say something is going to taste like this or that, they aren't lying. And that espresso kick is a hard one (in a good way). I have found my true favorite drink, the Cuban Honey with Oatmilk but I see that that's one of the most popular flavors. I understand why. I can't walk away from this review without mentioning how great the service is in here. I mean, stellar. Not once have I felt like I wasn't welcome. read more

I can't believe it took me this long to try this place! What a gem. Good food. Good coffee. Great ambiance. Nice staff.

Fun little spot on Water Street!! The service is always on point and everyone seems to be in a good mood and actually happy to be at work. Great job to the team for creating the right work environment. The blended tres leches is....... Absolutely . If you like horchata, this is the drink for you. We haven't tried anything else because we love it so much. The only small complaint if you can call it a complaint is that they run out of their pastries quickly, so if you come in later then there might not be any left. Overall it's a 10/10. Great job public works!! read more

Checking out this local coffee spot for Yelp's Vegas Like a Local since it's so close to me and on one of my favorite places now, Water Street. Loooove the vibe in here. There's a parking lot right next to the building with lots of parking, so you don't have to worry too much about parking on the street if that's something you're concerned with. The outside patio is so nice and overlooks Water Street. I wish I got here a little earlier so I could have sat out there haha. But it was all taken by the time I got here. I walked in, and there's lots of space to work in here. They even have a conference room which I'm assuming you can rent out. If my boss, Abby, is reading this, it would be a great spot to do regional week. Just sayinnnn. ;) But anyway, lots of space to work and enjoy your cup of joe. I love the decor in here, too. They have some Knights gear, which of course I love. Even a funny sign of the Lord's prayer, but hockeyfied. It made me LOL. The girl helping me decide on my coffee was sooo helpful. I told her I had never been here before. She helped me pick what to drink and recommended the cuban honey which is on the barista's specials. She said it had cinnamon and was delish. How could I say no? I got it with oat milk. It's delicious and I'm loving it already. The music in here is a lot more upbeat than your typical coffee shop, which I like. It's putting me in such a good mood. I love it. The staff here is also having a lot of fun and talking and laughing, and one of them even apologized and said sorry he was so loud. I said noooo I love it, it makes working here more fun haha. Seriously, the people working here, just wanna be friends with them all. This was my first visit to work, but it definitely won't be my last. I will definitely be working from this spot more often, and it's less than 10 minutes away from my house. Can't beat that. read more
