Saw all the pictures of the lattes and macarons and decided to stop by while I still had some time to take a quick study break. Sambalatte is located in the plaza on Jones and Sunset right off the 215 freeway. There's plenty of parking space and the road isn't too busy, so getting in and out won't be too difficult.
Sambalatte takes up the corner spot of the plaza, so the interior setup is a little longer lengthwise. There are a few tables/bar seating, and the other half of the interior is occupied by the kitchen/display area. There are also seats outside if you want to enjoy the humidity of Vegas.
I was intrigued by the rainbow latte, so I ordered just that to accompany my study book. The worker mentioned that they only had a limited number of colors that day - blue and green - and asked if I minded. Since I was already there, I decided to give it a try - he ended up charging me less than what it usually costs because of the lack of colors, which I thought was nice.
Price of the latte came out to be around $4-5 dollars. It was served in a very large ceramic cup with a fairly pretty design on top. The first sip of the latte was probably the best sip - warm, smooth, and a bit on the sweeter side. I enjoyed it a lot, but as I drank more of the latte, the more the food coloring began to seep into the latte. Unfortunately by mid-cup, the latte had turned a very unappealing shade of blue-green. I haven't had that happen to the other rainbow lattes that I've tried, so the color was a bit off-setting. Taste was still alright, which confused my taste buds. I wasn't able to finish the rest of it after it got cold, but I did think the latte was unique and something that all IGers should try.
They also serve sandwiches and pastries at this Sambalatte. Even though the plaza is fairly quiet, there was a lot of foot traffic in and out - which says something about their coffee! Workers were all very nice and friendly.
tl;dr - if you're a big coffee fan, I'd suggest checking out Sambalatte. They have several locations in Vegas, but this was the closest and most convenient to me. Thought the rainbow latte was just okay, but I definitely think they have other drinks (at a fairly decent price) that I'd want to try if I ever came back.
