PublicUs is exactly what I hope to find when traveling: a vibrant third-wave coffee shop with great coffee, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The vibe is upbeat with subtle Japanese-inspired influences woven throughout the space. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, attentive, and impressively efficient. Despite a steady flow of customers, my order was taken and delivered in what felt like four minutes or less. A special shoutout to Bailey, who took the time to explain the menu and helped me select the perfect chocolate bar to take on my flight home. Ezra made the experience feel surprisingly personal, ensuring everything was taken care of and somehow always appearing at the right moment to refill my water before I even thought to ask. I was the VIP for my hour visit. That level of attentiveness is rare. The coffee was exceptional. My mocha latte with an extra shot was perfectly balanced--rich espresso, smooth texture, and just the right amount of chocolate without overpowering the coffee. Damian was absolutely working magic with the portafilter and steam wand. Every drink coming out looked like it belonged in a specialty coffee magazine. The pastry case deserves its own mention. It was filled with an impressive assortment of sinfully tempting baked goods, and judging by what I saw coming out of the kitchen, there isn't a bad choice on the menu. I was only in Las Vegas for a few days, but finding PublicUs was one of the highlights of my trip. If you're visiting Vegas and searching for a true third-wave coffee experience with exceptional service and food to match, stop looking. PublicUs is the spot. read more

I tried this place in the morning before driving out of town as I had stayed with a friend in the area. This is on Fremont street but a few blocks away from the tourist area. I was able to park right in front so I could keep an eye on my car which was good because there were some obvious drug users skulking around. I have mixed feelings on the place but I'd give it another try next time. There seemed to be a lot of locals in the mix and the funky, fun atmosphere with plants was great. They have a very appealing menu with eclectic offerings from breakfast burrito to loco moco. For some reason I ordered the curried egg salad croissant sandwich. it just wasn't the thing to get. the crossiant was on par with Costco and the sweet chutney was jarring as I didn't detect curry seasoning. Thing was, as I was eating it I kept encountering hard cold lumps which I figured out was butter. There was a lot of it, some quite large. I asked the staff if if this was normal. One guy didn't know but another guy told me "this isn't like egg salad in the Midwest". I'm not sure what midwestern egg salad is like which I told him, but it was obvious he just meant it to insult me which is really weird. Otherwise the service was friendly at the counter. One issue with ordering is that I didn't see a menu until I'm at the register where they have it on the counter so it just kind of picked from the items in the case that I passed in line. While I was waiting I saw some very nice looking plates with beautiful slices of their sourdough bread. I took one home and it was very good and a generous size loaf. So go ahead and try the place, just try to look over the menu first. read more

I ordered the piri piri chicken sandwich, and while the chicken was juicy and flavorful, the pesto had a bit more of a spicy kick than I expected. Surprisingly, my favorite part of the meal was the side salad the dressing was so good that I think I enjoyed it even more than the sandwich. I also tried the coffee einspänner. The cream was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness, though once I mixed it into the espresso, I wished the drink had been a little sweeter. read more

It's been a minute since I've updated review for one of my fave coffee shops. It's located in DTLV and I love the fact that there is a parking lot right next door so I don't have to walk too far. And I also love the fact that they have food and delicious coffee here. Came here with my intern for a coworking lunch. The line is always pretty long here and seats are always taken, but the vibe in here is awesome. We were able to find a spot and the guy helping us at the counter was great. It's an order at the counter and take your seat spot, and they bring you out your food, which is really nice. I ordered a matcha latte which was delicious and then the orange chicken bento plate. It was soooo good! Definitely my favorite and they give you so much food. It comes with a macaroni salad, rice, and regular salad too. It's definitely my favorite meal on the menu. We also got a cinnamon roll to share as well and a blueberry scone. Both were sooo good, too. Literally everything here is tasty. The wifi is also pretty fast and works well. I love coffee shops like this one. Great spot to grab breakfast or lunch and catch up with friends, or even just come to work. read more

PublicUs has quickly become my family's favorite coffee shop in the Downtown/Fremont area. The vibe is super cool, kitschy & hip. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and willing to make suggestions. It can get busy, but they're really quick! And the pastry's and coffee are ALWAYS a 10/10! We love the green panda drink which is a minty matcha. Aaaaaamazing! They also have tons of vegan baked goods and I try my best to order something new every time as their menu does rotate often. If you love a cute coffee shop with excellent menu items, stop by ASAP! You will not be disappointed :) read more

I can't write enough great things about this wonderful cafe. It's a great place to take your time and enjoy yourself. The coffee is so good and the vanilla latte is made with real vanilla beans. The food is seasonal and the menu changes often. The pastries rotate as well and there are so many good things to choose from. They also occasionally bake bread and if you're lucky you can score some if you come early. Service is the friendliest and they bring everything out to your table. I love coming here. read more

I probably should be gatekeeping this information, but I'm feeling generous today. Public Us has the BEST almond croissant in all of the world. Like yeah you think "how basic! An almond croissant, who cares?" Well I'm telling you right now that after finally ordering one after going here for years, that I now know what heaven tastes like. Now if you all spread this around too far and they sell out of these everyday before I get a chance to get one, I'm going to be sorry I shared this well y'all. read more

Really loved PublicUs, so sad that I didn't try it sooner!! Super cute space, fair pricing, and lots of greenery and natural lighting. I got the death cream, chocolate chip cookie, and pecan cake. Everything was tasty, no complaints! read more

I'm conflicted since I really want to have another good breakfast spot to pick from, but I don't know if PublicUs will be it. The drinks from PublicUs are fantastic and are 100% worth coming back for. The breakfast food on the other hand could use some work. Maybe it was a bit of an off day in the kitchen, but the Brekkie Burrito was a bit bland and very wet (not from sauce, but just, wet). On the other hand, I had PublicUs's version of an Espresso Tonic and it was REALLY good. If I was just coming for coffee though, it would have been a really cool spot to lounge around in and chat with friends. That and, while it took me a hot second to find the separate seating area, it was nice that there was ample seating. Everyone at the counter was super nice and honestly, I'm really hoping my burrito was just a random miss. read more

This is a super cool breakfast place that has a great list of specials in addition to a big menu with lots of vegetarian options. Food is really good, I had the chili crisp omelette on toast and opted for the fries instead of the salad. The fries were also amazing! Thin and hot and crispy. And I hate a donut muffin. The donut muffin had a good crust and sugar but was more dry like a muffin than a donut. The atmosphere is super modern and open. The seating is more communal and you grab your own seats, so it could be hard for a large group. It is counter service which takes a bit of time. Our server was super friendly and helpful. read more

Been to this place again a week ago with 2 friends for their first time and they loved it. My Traditionalist plate was the best - potatoes cooked to its perfection super good though they never shared the secrets. Cashier super since, our server will be more cuter if he smile more but the other server one who served my coffee was was nice and pleasant though the coffee should be made more stronger place esp in the morning. The ambience around the place is good , I would say safe for customers. People are coming in and out. Oh btw, we shared a huge blueberry pastries t'was really really tasty . Thank you guys. Def highly recommended. We'll be back again. read more

Walked in and was transported to a calm, green, and eccentrically decorated place. The lattes are one size but smooth. I got the salmon toast and wow, the size alone shocked me. The micro greens were lovely just a bit overwhelming because they seemed to just be flopped on, versus placed with effort. Service was friendly and quick even for a bit of a morning rush. Look forward to enjoy my beans at home! read more

PublicUs is my favorite brunch spot in DT! The ambiance is perfect - whether you're having brunch with your friends or looking to get some work done on your laptop - the scene is mellow and inviting. You order before you get a table. The coffee is delicious and the food always tastes great. If you park in the lot behind PublicUs, they validate your parking so it's free! Free parking is always a plus! read more

A cute cafe with really good coffee and surprisingly various options of brunch menu. Here for Saturday brunch after CES just over, expected for a long line, but it went pretty fast. The staff here are nice and efficient. Shalom is very nice and friendly. Love the smoked salmon toast here with mouthwatering salad (the vinaigrette dressing is great). The patty flavor is good but unfortunately overcooked and a bit dry. Gotta give the coffee here a thumbs up. Tried latte and mint and cream coffee, both are smooth and scrumptious. Pretty easy parking even on a Saturday. Will come back soon to their bento which looks soooo good from our next table. read more

It tells you something when a coffee shop's food almost steals the spotlight from the coffee--lol. To be clear, the coffee is actually great, no complaints there. But what really catches you off guard is how good the food is for a place that's technically a coffee shop. Like... this is full-on café food, not an afterthought pastry situation. I had the loco moco and it's probably one of the best loco moco I've tasted it The vibe is industrial, busy, cool. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and it's the kind of place where you accidentally come just for coffee and end up ordering a whole meal haha Asian girl verdict: Legit good coffee Surprisingly amazing food More café-restaurant than "grab-a-latte" spot read more

This is a wonderful spot for breakfast or lunch! I absolutely loved the garden farm Benny, full of flavors and sauces and color. The veggies were grilled with garlic and seasoning, the potatoes were crispy and the sauces on the Benedict went well with the arugula and sourdough. Loveeeee the sourdough! The biscotti was just soft enough in a perfect way and tasted so good dipped in the mint coffee. This place did have a bit of a wait at 130pm and it is an order and then sit establishment. Street parking was free due to being Sunday. read more

Sat in the cafe to read over paperwork - dense content made easier to absorb while surrounded by a zillion manekineko. Don't get stressed out about the line or a seat. Both are entirely less drama than you'd think. Little pour-over set is my beverage of choice. Bathroom is very clean and the handsoap is nice. read more

PublicUs - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I have only great things to say to anyone who asks about Public Us! The drinks are delicious, hot or iced. The pastries are delicious, warmed or not. The service is consistently nice and super friendly. There is a good amount of seating, some communal tables and some two seaters. My favorites are a hot vanilla latte and a blueberry scone. I also recently discovered soft screamed eggs with a hot dark chocolate mocha. I recommend this place to anyone coming to Vegas. And if you happen to have any issues with your order, be sure to say something because they are so into making everyone's experience the best. Park in the adjacent lot and grab a validation skip on your way out. Enjoy, pretty much anything, as it's all delicious. read more

PublicUs is the best specialty coffee shop on the West Coast. I've had this opinion for a while, but it continues to be proven. I prefer this spot over anything in Santa Cruz, LA, and Reno for sure. Their food is always flavorful and delicious. Their baristas know what they're doing! The place is such a cool spot to hang out and share a meal in. If you haven't been, I recommend. Every time I'm in town, it's a priority to visit. read more

Another great suggestion from Reddit. Thanks to that anonymous person for this gem. Atmosphere: classic ambiance. They have a real trees inside the restaurant. Lots of tables to feed a village. It gets real busy here. Lots of good sunlight. Food: They have a QR code menu. This place offers variety of drinks (coffee, tea, juice) and good breakfast/brunch options. I ordered a Latte and Brekkie burrito. I am surprised by the size of burrito in a good way. Burrito was delicious served with some green salad. 10/10 recommend this place. read more

What an eclectically decorated spot, complete with lively '90s rock playing in the background. There are plenty of tables for solo diners and large parties alike. Service is fast, friendly, and attentive, and the prices are excellent for the quality and generous portions. Delhi's baked goods are a standout--don't miss the blueberry scone with cream cheese, the oatmeal cookies, or the house-made sourdough bread. A true Hawaiian favorite, the Loco Moco, is hearty and flavorful--easily enough for two. Be sure to try the short rib musubi as well; it's absolutely bursting with flavor. Vegetarians will love the Garden Farm Benedict, and there's a solid selection of vegan options, too. And don't let the size of the Waffles for the People fool you--light, airy, and perfectly crisp, you'll finish the whole thing before you even realize it. The matcha lemonade is refreshing and light, with the bright taste of freshly squeezed lemon juice. And for nut lovers, the macadamia nut latte--with its freshly ground macadamia nuts--delivers a rich, unmistakable flavor. A fantastic spot all around! read more

My best friend and I visited PublicUs for brunch on Nov 21, 2025. It was our third time there over the past three years - when we come for Formula 1, we also come to PublicUs. The front shelf is normally stocked with delicious sweets and pastries but we were there a little late. Thank goodness there was still 1 chocolate chip cookie left for me! The Coffee. Oh my god so good. It was a lifesaver. I had a delightful vanilla latte to start. Normally, I would have the Loco Moco, but today I tried the Spicy Bourbon Fried Chicken. The chicken had a nice crunch to it, even with the sauce. It wasn't very spicy - I am not sure if they can boost it up. The salad was crisp and delicious, I really enjoyed the dressing. The dish also comes with kimchi pickles and ginger - really cool flavors. I would have also liked to have some of the mac salad (I stole some from my buddy's loco moco...lol) Although it was a pretty costly meal, I will definitely be back; there are so many great looking dishes on the menu. I will be sure to come earlier to ensure there are chocolate cookies for sale! read more

Solid spot for Hawaiian fusion food in Vegas. We ordered the brekkie sandwich (absolute bomb), waffles, and one of each musubi (spam, Portuguese sausage, and braised beef). The braised beef musubi was the standout for me, super flavorful, tender, and perfect when hot. Honestly, everything we tried hit the spot. The staff here is really friendly and the vibes are on point! Modern, stylish, and just a cool place to hang out. The only tough part is that it can get pretty crowded, which makes it a little hard to grab a seat sometimes. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service make this a spot I'd definitely love to come back to again soon. read more

PublicUs - Musubi (spam, portuguese, sausage, braised beef) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Came here for bookclub. The style is order food at the register and then take a seat, which seems to be a popular method. The line was very long (also peak time on a Sunday) and took approximately 40 minutes to wait in line and that's not including the wait for a meal. I wanted to order an entree but didn't want to wait another 30-45 minutes so I just got a drink and cookie. Both were good, but not worth the long line wait. I recommend if coming during peak times, to order for pick up and then when you get there your food should be ready. read more

My all time favorite coffee shop in Las Vegas! I've been going to Public Us on and off for years, starting when I was in college. The ambiance is so peaceful and they have lots of greenery inside. In their bathrooms is soap from Mike's Recovery shop in Fergusons downtown. The staff are so friendly and personable and I know several of them by name. Also their food is so good, my favorites are the vegan cinnamon roll and smashed avocado toast. 10/10 would recommend to bring a friend, study, or go on a solo date. Thank you Public Us for being so great! Also they have parking in the back and offer validation. :) read more

We had 2 failed attempts of locating a coffee shop open from 7 -8:30 AM in walking distance from Freemont Street. As soon as we were about to give up we spotted PublicUs's open sign, we had simply thought we'd hang out here till when the other coffee shop would open. I hadn't looked up what PublicUs was so you could imagine my surprise but also instant happiness when we opened the door. It's not an overly large area but they have plenty of seating tucked away for customers. It was artistically decorated and the staff was very welcoming and kind. I had ordered a Horchata Ice Latte with giant oatmeal cookie. The Horchata was spot on with flavor and the cold brew was the kick I need to make the vacation day happen. As for the oatmeal cookie, I'd like to add their baked goods were extra large in size but all looked so good it was hard not to order more than I did! The cookie was so chewy and rich, it lasted me the entirety of my trip! I'm a texture person so the Apple cinnamon muffin wasn't a favorite of mine but I appreciated the muffin itself and know that I would be a huge fan of anything off the bakery list based on taste and quality. Since they bake in house daily all their goods are fresh. The pineapple mimosa was light and an appreciated fruit tartness to add a little kick before heading out. We had planned to return for a meal but time escaped us! So if anyone is on Freemont street and you need a coffee shop that is truly opened in the AM this is your spot, and if it's not too much mail me some cookies because I'm still day dreaming over the oatmeal!! read more

This was one of my brother's favorite establishments in Vegas, so every time I'm in town it's a mandatory visit! Not just because of the sentimental value, but because of the amazing food and drinks. Back when they opened they were one of the first to bring that Instagram-worthy, specialty coffee experience with options that go way beyond your typical chain menus. It's a place where the coffee isn't just a drink; it's a piece of art. They focus on quality, with deep flavors, meticulous brewing methods, and made from scratch syrups. I love all of their drinks but the Death Cream is my favorite (don't add an extra shot, it takes away from the flavor). I also recently tried the Fresh Mint and Cream and it's now on my list of must haves. The macadamia nut latte is a necessary addition when it's cold out. When it comes to the food, everything in the bakery is amazing! The bread pudding and zucchini muffins are must haves but if it's available get the Tiramisu Croissant, it is life changing. They usually sell out of it. If you don't fancy something sweet, then their menu items are also fantastic. Everything is made with quality ingredients and exquisite flavors. I seriously can't say enough good things about this place! The staff is amazing and the mixologists sure know how to make a drink. The atmosphere is straight out of a designers dream. There is a room in the back if you want something a bit more quiet then the bustling front area. Definitely add PublicUs to your Vegas itinerary. read more

PublicUs (for the people) is a hip and upbeat take on modern cuisine. Spacious interior with a small outside seating and mostly inside seating. Decorated with little knick-knacks, geeky cool stuff, photos, etc. House music playing. They have two unisex restrooms. *Croissada w/house jam - choice between blueberry or strawberry (4/5). I would describe this more as a morning bun on steroids. Flakey, buttery, cinnamon sugar goodness. The blueberry jam was nice yet not too sweet. *Loco Moco: two farm eggs sunny side up, 30 day dry aged prime Angus hamburger, brown gravy, fried onions, mac salad, steamed white rice, organic greens (4/5). The hamburger was nicely cooked to medium as I chose. The organic greens had a nice light vinegrette. The mac salad was decently creamy and savory. The rice was gummy and the bottom of the pot (see pic). Otherwise, a good tasting dish. My wife didn't care for the gravy and felt that it was cold. *Chocolate Chunk Cookie - good chunks of chocolate baked inside the cookie topped with sea salt. *Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk - oatmeal, chocolate chucks and raisins. My wife liked this cookie a lot! read more

PublicUs is one of my favorite cafes! I love the ambiance and the decor - it's playful and inviting. They have great service and a bunch of dishes and drinks to choose from. They also have different specials every time I visit. You'll love this place for pastries and breakfast sandwiches. The Brekkie Sandwich Supreme is very tasty. The brioche bun is toasted with the egg style of your choice, crispy hash brown, and bacon. You're able to substitute for turkey bacon :) I also tried the Waffles with berries and cream. The waffle was too crispy for me, but the berries and cream are very fresh! Definitely, give this place a try! I'm sure you'll find something you'll love! Side note: there is plenty of parking in the area. Also, you're able to validate parking if you park in the lot behind the cafe. read more

A very good coffee shop, with really good food, and beautifully served coffee. The vibe has a hint of China because the owner is Asian, so is the chef. If you're not just looking for coffee but like to get breakfast or food in general, this place will do a good job. Staff is very friendly, food is served fresh. They have fast Wifi but that doesn't mean this is a good place to work or have meetings. It's pretty loud and they also barely have any outlets. They have a separate room which is much quieter. You have to walk around near the restrooms. Good breakfast spot! read more

Everything you want in a brunch cafe. Something savory, something sweet. It was our first time and I had so many questions about the menu and pastries and the staff was so helpful and patient. The counter gentlemen suggested the bread pudding and chocolate chunk cookie and I'm so thankful he did! Honestly one of the best bread puddings I've ever had. And the cookie with the salt and crispy edges was so yummy! We also got a slice of banana bread and loved it! Our entrees consisted of the following; Bang bang chicken - perfect crispy chicken with sweet chili sauce, excellent bento box Biscuits and gravy - gravy was so flavorful, perfect biscuits. Brioche French toast - was good in general, but of few of us didn't care for the citrus ricotta Wild mushroom salad add togarashi salmon, amazing, loved this fresh salad. Side of crispy potatoes- we're so good! Overall everything is high quality and delicious. We will definitely be back to try more menu items, and get some of the same things! read more

PublicUs is one of my favorite spots for breakfast in Vegas. It has a super cool, trendy, modern vibe; The service is fantastic and the food is delicious! We've always been able to order quickly and find good seating. Note: it's open seating so you place your order then find a seat. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and attentive. We had several folks checking in on us to make sure our table was clean, coffee was full, and our food was up to par. Now for the best part: the food! We had four in our group and we all got something different. Our group ordered: The Chimichurri Steak and Eggs ($23): 10oz NY Steak, 2 eggs, crispy potatoes, sourdough toast, and greens. The Traditionalist ($15): 2 eggs, crispy potatoes, bacon, sourdough toast, and greens Shakshuka ($15): Middle Eastern spiced red bell pepper tomato sauce, halloumi cheese, 2 poached eggs, Za'atar, cilantro, and sourdough toast Garden Farm Benedict ($15): 2 eggs, roasted veggies, heirloom tomatoes, super spinach sauce, brown butter hollandaise, crispy potatoes, served on sourdough toast Waffles for the people ($11): Brussels style waffles with pure maple syrup (we added the berries and cream which is an additional $4) Our food was fresh and delicious. We love the options they have - there's something for everyone! Each dish was around $15 with the steak dish being the most expensive at $23 which is really reasonable. We split the waffles between the four of us and it was the perfect amount of food with something sweet to end our meal. I would highly recommend visiting PublicUs! read more
