7 Leaves Cafe Grand Canal Shoppes

"The Strip will have a 7 Leaves Cafe to call its own on Saturday. The cafe, dubbed the Asian Starbucks, opens at the Venetian, next door to the recently opened Halal Guys at the resort. A group of seven, four brothers and three friends, started the chain in Orange County’s Little Saigon in 2012. Now the company has grown to 16 locations in Southern California, along with one in Chinatown in Las Vegas and future locations in Houston. The company uses traditional Vietnamese methods such as stove top cooking and hand drip Vietnamese coffee phins. The compact menu specializes in teas, coffees, and 10 flavors of macarons. Beverage choices include oolong milk or strawberry hibiscus teas, sea cream black coffee or jasmine tea, Vietnamese coffee, and Japanese matcha soy." - Susan Stapleton

"The second Strip location for The Halal Guys, and the first for franchise partner 7 Leaves Cafe, has finally been revealed, with the operators combining the two concepts into a single space at the Venetian’s Grand Canal Shoppes food court. Now promising a spring debut, 7 Leaves Cafe is also announcing the arrival is “coming soon” and promoting the same future serving hours as its Spring Mountain Road branch launched last December. The cafe specializes in Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai teas and coffees, plus 10 flavors of macarons." - Bradley Martin
