Cafe Darak

Had a craving for coffee and dessert and decided to come here. I ordered the pistachio latte and my boyfriend first ordered the macadamia nut latte, the cashier said, the macadamia latte was not that popular and not that good so he decided on the peanut butter cup latte instead. I also added the honey toast with nutella to wrap up our order and was a little sticker shocked the order came out to about $ 20…oh well. We sat down at this small coffee table ish area next to the volkswagon tent since all the other seating was pretty much taken up by people working on their laptops, well, its a coffee shop, what else should i expect? The cashier brought over our drinks to where we were sitting and they were both really good! I liked my pistachio latte a lot more than his peanut butter cup latte since I don’t like drinks that are that sweet. The honey toast took a while to come out, but when it came delivered to us, it was nice, warm, not too sweet and came topped off with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. This was exactly what i needed, a dessert that was not too sweet, not too filling and a latte for the cold night. The café was cool, with lots of cool little oddities to look at, a record player, a volkswagon tent with fake grass, old student desks for a place to sit (which looked really uncomfortable) and an old school cash register just randomly on the floor. There was some pretty cool music playing over the speakers but it still felt a little awkward being there to just hang out, i think this would be a cool place to do work, but there’s not much seating there so you’d probably have to share table space with someone else. Since I wasn’t looking for a hang out spot, and just a place for dessert and coffee this place did the trick!

4 stars. 4 reasons.
1. The music choice was on point, but the place was just a little bit too hipstery for me
2. Recommend the pistachio latte and honey toast
3. Great place to talk/​hang out
4. I would come back to try out other drinks on the menu

This all started when those 9 little squares of pure bliss covered in cinnamon and honey topped with ice cream appeared before me. The honey toast tasted amazing as soon as that first square hit my tongue and kicked my taste buds around! The banana & strawberry blend tasted great as well! Late at night everything is really chill and cool, and the music is great! Sounds like something you would hear off the game Life is Strange. Really enjoy the scenery and atmosphere!

Really good coffee and great spirit of fun. Worth the drive out since it’s not really centrally located. You won’t be sorry.

The ambiance here is amazing. It reminds me of a clean version of the Ruins Bars in Budapest. You have an amalgamation of different furnitures and items that somehow fit together just perfectly. I love it.
Coffee and lattes are pretty good.
Bathroom is cool and clean which means the kitchen is clean!
This is my new go to coffee place.

This place has a wonderful atmosphere. The decorations are cute, a little hipstery, but I still think this place has a very welcoming environment with the vw bus tent and the record player and chalkboards. I also really like the loyalty card rack on the wall, so I won’t have to carry any extra stuff in my wallet.
On the other hand the back bar is not arranged so nicely. It’s very disorganized and messy back there which makes me feel like my food is messy. I even saw a rag laying on top of the cups on the espresso machine. I don’t know if the towel was clean or not, but that’s still very gross. Either clean or put your cleaning ware away! I mean it was virtually dead when we went in and they were texting rather than picking up their stuff and cleaning!
As for the food/​beverages. We ordered an espresso that was okay (CRCR red wall espresso, which is a nice roast) but it was still underdosed and therefor very watery. My Americano was bitter (again, underdosed, overextracted). But we also got the Yuzu tea, which was awesome. Judging by ours and the other tea we saw served, which was loose leaf, I can already tell they take their tea more seriously than most cafes, which I like.
As for food we only ordered a croissant, but I was VERY upset. It was still frozen solid in the center.
All in all, I might be back for the tea or décor, but not coffee or food. I might return, but I hope it’s cleaner when I go back.

Really cute place. I had a green tea latte with cheesy garlic toast, and it came out to about $ 10. Not too bad for a good size piece of toast and tea. Beware, not all of the lattes are artsy and beautiful, but they do taste very good.

Came here at around 10pm the other night to study with a friend.
Starbucks is usually my place of choice for late night studying, but we needed a relatively quiet place & this place was recommended to me.
First impression: this place is small! It’s next to Layla’s hookah & grill… totally missed it at first. It probably gets crowded during the day, but it was perfect that night.
My friend ordered the iced Americano & I ordered the almond café latte. My drink was a tad bit on the unsweetened side, but it was good. I could definitely taste the coffee, and I appreciated that.
The atmosphere was exceptional, music got loud a couple times, but it wasn’t like a disco. I definitely recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be back again.

I came here with a friend the other night. It’s a very nice and cozy café with a lot more variety of seating options. Very… hipster/​eclectic? They had tables, and then like a tv tray for table and things of the assortment. Super cool. Though, when seating becomes scarce, you kind of just have to face your fears and sit with strangers. Most of the people here seemed to be in the younger generation crowd.
I had a green tea, they gave me a bottle of honey to self serve at my table. My friend had some sort of latte… (I’m not much of a coffee drinker.) I also had a tiramisu. Tiramisu was good, if not something that tasted of frozen pre-​purchased variety. However, you can tell they work with what they have, considering that their whole kitchen or storage, or maybe it’s a pantry, is visible to the customer at the counter. However, still good and serves the purpose.
The counter service was okay. That’s about it.
I’d come back if I happened to be in the immediate area and wanted to read a book. Or fall asleep in the volkswagen that’s in there. Check it out.

Great place to hangout w/​friends and family. The atmosphere is a mixture of vintage, rustic with playful furniture and accents. The honey bread/​toast is one of the best in Vegas. Try one of their many drinks and it occasional changes from time to time.

The place is very unique due to their vintage yet modern feel of their decorations! The employees are super friendly! The seems great for long talks or simply studying. The noise level i just right for those who are studying and doesn’t like the music to be a bit overwhelming.
Now, getting to the food/​drink! I love their honey bread, it is one of the best honey toasts that I have tried compared to other cafes here in Vegas. This one has more of a cinnamon flavor to it and is not too sweet either. Their snow geisha hot tea is quite nice and the price is worth it (free hot water refills in the pot)! As for their yuzu tea, it was alright. I feel like their drinks are decent, but their honey bread is one of the best!

This was my first time at a café like this. My first impression… how cute! Each table area gives a totally different feel. There are picnic tables, big leather chairs, and even a tent. Unfortunately the tent was occupied when my friend and I arrived but it looked fun. There is fake grass, bean bag chairs, and lights inside. My friend and I picked the big comfy leather chairs for our group.
The next thing that I liked was their stamp cards. They give you a polaroid looking picture and a marker, you write your name on it, and hang it on the way. How genious is that? I know I’m bad about forgetting my punch cards and then kicking myself later when I end up at the place I need it lol.
I was still full from dinner so I didn’t order anything but I did have a couple bites of the honey toast. (my first time) To me it tastes like french toast, but not as sweet… in a good way. It was yummy!
In addition to the cool environment, they have wi-​fi and are open super late. I noticed a lot of students studying while we were there, so it’s a good alternative to Starbucks.

Café Darak offers a great variety of coffees, even though it is a small menu. They have a great atmosphere, a cool faux grass lounging area with a tent shaped like a VW van, and really neat lighting, chairs and tables. They have ample amounts of outlets for computers and phones that need charging. They give a little toy for your inner child with every drink. They have a wall area to hang your stamp card. Their bathroom is usually neat and clean. They close at 2am, so you can study late night if you’d like.
I don’t like one experience where I ordered the barley tea and the gentleman wanted to charge me another $ 3.50 for another tea bag, especially when I told him the tea doesn’t taste like anything but hot water.
Other than that, I enjoyed my other experiences there. I would definitely go back for coffee and a chill vibe.

This place is SO. CUTE. Seriously. If you’re looking for an Asian-​esque, hipster coffee shop without any of the pretentiousness, Café Darak is the place for you. It’s cozy, with a charming assortment of mismatched furniture. There’s a tent shaped like a VW bus inside, as well as plenty of cushy chairs. Another cool thing about this place is the abundance of outlets along the wall, so you don’t have to fight someone if your laptop needs charging. There’s also a water jug out for customers to help themselves to, and restrooms in the hall.
I had a yummy 12 oz green tea latte, and it came with a pretty latte art design on top. A guy across from us ordered some kind of garlic toast and it smelled amazing, so I’ll have to come back and order food next time! Prices are reasonable.
Café Darak is a quaint place to study and hang out, and they’re open until the wee hours of the morning which is perfect. Looking forward to my next visit.

I honestly was not too impressed with this place, which is really sad because I really wanted to like Café Darak! I gave the place two stars because service was friendly and the place was clean. I also liked the décor and ambiance inside; the décor is a combination of funky, retro, and rustic with a shelving unit full of old cameras/​phones adding a nice touch.
However, the food and drinks really fell short for me. I got the Nutella latte ($ 4.50) and my friend got the caramel macchiato ($ 3.70). When we both tried the drinks, it was lukewarm and nothing too memorable to rave about. The honey toast ($ 6.00) was just okay too. So in sum the place is cool to look at, but just okay to eat and drink at.

This café is amazing! First off, the Volkswagen tent and grass area is an awesome idea! Such a cute, hipster feel to this café. The honey toast is TO DIE FOR. All the fruits, ice cream, and condensed milk on top of warm brick toast = heaven! Must try.
Their lattes and mochas are very good too. The service was okay. Not bad, but not superb.
I love that they have a bunch of tables to sit and enjoy a cup of tea/​coffee with friends. Will happily try this place again!

Café Darak used to be a cool fun hang out spot for my boyfriend & I. Unfortunately the quality of everything has took a huge dive. When we got there the place was packed full of students finishing their summer school studies. Good luck finding a seat.
We were forced to take our order to go & that was the beginning of a horrible experience. I ordered my usual Berry Berry Ade & macarons. The drink was prepared with flat 7-​Up, melted ice & bitter tasting berry sweetener. The macarons, which is usually a safe bet came to me frozen & soggy. I’m not sure if the barista was having an off day, but if they can’t get a simple order like mine correct then I cannot see myself coming back here ever again.

This is such a cute little coffee shop. It reminded me of Sambalatte except 294 738% better coffee and the environment is the right amount of relaxing and interesting.
Don’t quote me on this but apparently Darak means attic in some sort of language so the place is decorated with things you’d find in an attic: suitcases, glass trinkets, and old-​fashioned furniture. I found myself constantly looking around, discovering some new cute little detail to this place. Even the way the drinks and food are served to you is different. Mismatched mugs delivered on a wooden platter, accompanied by some little toy figurine.
The coffee is BEYOND anything I could’ve asked for. I had the White Mocha and it was perfection. I finally had my real life «take a sip from coffee and get cream on your nose» moment LOL. It was the perfect taste, perfect amount of whipped cream, and I prefer this over any other coffee shop any day. In fact, I’m going back tonight. My GF got the Pistachio drink… think pistachio ice cream in a cup, except hot and not too sweet. Honestly the best drinks I’ve had from a coffee shop. And OMG the honey toast was perfect. The bread has just the right amount of toastiness to it and the ice cream/​whipped cream/​almonds complimented it very well.
My only suggestion is for the staff to make sure they clean up the tables within a certain time of someone leaving. It was our first time there and out of the three areas that weren’t occupied, two had dirty silverware and dishes on them. We had to move some stuff ourselves. Other than that, don’t change a thing.

I’ve been here so many times, so a review is long overdue.
Café Darak is my go-​to chill or study spot late at night since it doesn’t close until 3am. There’s free wifi and the employees never rush you to leave. Downside is that it can get noisy or crowded at times. And although the eclectic mish-​mash of chairs and tables looks cool in pictures, they aren’t the most comfortable to actually sit in.
Drinks and food are decent. Everything is pretty much too sweet for me so I get the pot of tea instead.
I feel like I’m paying more for the wifi and quiet/​solitude than the actual items themselves. If the employees there weren’t so nice and friendly I probably wouldn’t even go. Everything is very cute, including the stamp system. However, now that Café Darak has a larger customer base, the hanging coupon cards is a little impractical.

I had this place bookmarked after seeing so many great reviews. I headed Café Darak around 3pm on Friday to study/​relax after a long day of school.
ATMOSPHERE
I love the interior here. As other Unilocalers mentioned, very hipster and fun place. There are a lot of comfy chairs and cute small decors everywhere. High ceiling made this place feel more spacious. I was lucky enough to sit inside the Volkswagen tent which had some small tables and pillows. Décor/​ambiance of this place is very unique and I really enjoyed it.
SERVICE
It was my first time there so I wasn’t sure what to get. The girl that worked there was patient and answered all the questions I had. Loved how friendly she was!
DRINK
Drink here is the reason why I gave 3 stars. I ordered a white mocha (girl there told me there wasn’t a recipe for cold but she will make it). I was excited to see how it would compare to the Starbucks white mocha. I was pretty disappointed after taking a sip because it was like a diabetes in a cup. I was told there was an expresso in it but the drink I got tasted like white chocolate syrup mixed in water. Perhaps I should have asked for less sweet if that was even possible.
I would visit again to try other drinks if I’m ever in the area. Def wouldn’t go out of my way since this place is so far from my house. Will update my review after the next visit but for now, 3 stars.
