"While Dutch Bros. Coffee and newcomer Scooter’s Coffee compete for the local drive-thru java dollar, I note that The Human Bean has filed paperwork to create its second Las Vegas expansion. Having launched as an Ashland, Oregon espresso stand in 1998, the franchise has been pouring in North Las Vegas at 5265 Camino Al Norte for the last nine years and is proposing a built-from-scratch, 600-square-foot kiosk at 71 E. Lake Mead Parkway in Henderson near the Boulder Highway intersection, across the street from Dignity Health–St. Rose Dominican Hospital and one long block from Water Street. The kiosk will not offer any indoor seating and has yet to announce an estimated opening. Current fall specials include peach cobble smoothies, pecan pie, blackberry frost, and butterscotch and vanilla beverages, and the planned menu will feature a 'Mexi Mocha' made with Mexican chocolate powder, Americanos, chai, cold brews, flavored Rockstar energy drinks, frozen espressos, and 'Little Beans' drinks for kids." - Bradley Martin
