Desert Wind Coffee Roasters

For a roaster, I was expecting a bit more. While the coffee excelled in caffeine content, it fell quite behind in flavor.

I had an americano. However, this roaster is oddly known for its mixed coffee drinks; namely, the Walter White (a concoction of double espresso, chocolate syrup, and half & half). Maybe I tried the wrong drink.

The coffee, without all the sugar and cream that the Walter White has, had a poorly roasted flavor. It tasted a bit too darkly roasted and held a bitter, almost soapy, flavor similar to what I’ve experienced with Seattle’s Best. Maybe I was expecting too much out of the bean quality but, for me, a good americano envelopes it’s own smooth, almost milky, flavor and texture.

The coffee was a bit too harsh for me to give this place another try. That said, it was cheap and definitely caffeinated me. If that’s what you’re seeking, I think it’s probably just as good as Starbucks but you get to support a local small business. If you’re seeking artisan roasted coffee, look elsewhere.

Edit: The next day I went to Avery’s Coffee down the road and experienced a much better americano. Again, I drink my coffee black with no additions.

My favorite coffee shop in town, great staff and cool owners. Plus they roast their own beans!

Great coffee. Both selection and taste. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Perfect place for work! Good wifi, free water and realy big choice of coffee for good price:)

I am a regular here and they know and prepare my order as I walk in. Staff is super friendly. This place is fantastic, one of the best coffee shops in Las Vegas. The place is very clean and a fun atmosphere to sit and enjoy your coffee or even meet up with a friend. Service is very quick, you can even call in ahead. The point system is very nice and I have been awarded several free coffees. I really enjoy the ice Walter white. They roast the coffee beans in store daily and if you are lucky, you can watch them in action and smell the delicious aroma. They offer beans from all over the world and you can even buy beans to go. Highly recommended

Decent coffee. Can't give 5 stars because not all people here can make a nice coffee, but this is an issue across all coffeeshops.

Lo0o0oved this place. It was my first visit, I just stopped in while waiting for a client.
I was greeted with a smile and friendly atmosphere.
I got a quick double espresso, sat outside and enjoyed the rain. Wonderful place, they even have some delicious looking products to try like hot pickled carrots and coleslaw

My favorite coffee shop in the Summerlin area! The coffee is delicious, the seating comfortable and well spread out with lots of tables and couches. Lots of outlets and super fast wifi, and most of all the staff is super friendly; very intimate feel.

Cozy comfortable atmosphere. Friendly staff. Many selections of coffee bean. Pour over coffee was fine (a bit harsh with strong citrus flavor) (7/10).

Walter White was delicious. We enjoyed another guest offering free personalized poetry.
