Whether getting work done or finishing classwork, sometimes it helps to get out of the house and caffeinated in order to get your mind going. Not just any coffee shop will do. For a coffee shop to be conducive to studying, writing, or responding to emails, it needs reliable Wi-Fi, comfy seating, access to power outlets, the steady hum of activity — but not of loud music — and, most importantly, really good coffee. The below coffee shops all offer just the right vibe to get you in and out before your deadline.

Cafes with Wi-Fi, power outlets, and really good coffee
Springs Cafe
A bit unconventional, the Springs Cafe is mostly visited by families during visits to the Springs Preserve. But you can dine here without admission to the park. Take a seat on the terrace or by the windows to gaze out over the greenery of the Springs Preserve and order coffee and sandwiches from Bronze Cafe.
Mothership Coffee Roasters
Located at Fergusons Downtown, Mothership offers seating inside its plant-filled coffee shop, outside on the steps or in the grass, and up on the rooftop patio. Settle into your preferred environment and log onto the Fergusons Wi-Fi. Bonus: Mothership has great coffee, but also serves alcohol. And the restrooms here are immaculate.
PublicUs
When your workday is going to keep you tied to your computer for more than a few hours, PublicUs offers a rotating menu of breakfast and lunch dishes, available to pair with your coffee. Try the tofu bento or shakshuka and take a seat at one of the communal tables at the back. The ample wall art, fake trees, and bright windows will surely spark inspiration.
Bungalow Coffee Co
This spacious coffee shop has a large coffee bar and super comfy seating. But it’s the coffee that’s exceptional. Take a table near the wall if you need to plug in your laptop, and keep the lattes coming until the shop closes at 4 p.m.
Coffee Religion
Quiet and minimal in design, coffee is the focus here. Ask for the Wi-Fi password when you order your drink and take a seat at one of the 12 or so tables. If coworking with a friend, consider sharing a spread of afternoon tea finger sandwiches.
Vesta Coffee Roasters
On weekday mornings, this Arts District cafe fills up quickly with customers and their laptops. The coffee is roasted in-house and the syrups are handmade, too. The broad windows facing Casino Center make for prime people-watching if you need to take your eyes off the screen for a few minutes.
Baby Birds Cafe
Located right on the shore of the lakes at Sahara, this flower-covered cafe offers coffee drinks, smoothies, and light bites like salad and acai bowls. Sit near the foliage-covered wall for access to power outlets, or near the windows to gaze out across the windows.

Madhouse Coffee
With an imaginative coffee menu that includes drinks like the peanut butter and banana Monkey Mocha, a red velvet mocha, and ice-blended drinks flavored with Nutella, you’ll find enough caffeine — and sugar— to power through. Ask for a custom Wi-Fi password when you order and post up at the bar if you need to plug in. You can also work from the patio. Ideal for late nights and pressing deadlines, it’s open 24 hours.
Capital One Café
This coffee shop inside Fashion Show Mall on the Strip very much has the atmosphere of a bank. But the Peets Coffee bar inside and reliably quiet workspace might be just what you need if the mood to work strikes mid-shopping spree.
Gäbi Coffee & Bakery
A massive space, lush seating, and dreamy interior design make this Chinatown coffee shop a great place for working independently or in groups. Seats fill up quickly here, so take a seat and then place your coffee order online. If you can’t find a table, kick off your shoes and sit in the elevated floor seating at the cafe’s rear. Orders are announced over an intercom — so bring headphones if that’ll distract you.
Cafe Lola
With pink and flower-decked walls, cupcake-topped lattes, and toasts layered with berries, this cafe at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace is cute enough for mid-morning rosé and charcuterie boards. And because the cafe serves both caffeine and alcohol, it can get you through a couple of hours of laptop work, with sweet pastries for company.

Founders Coffee
Go for the seasonal coffee flight for a sampling of this local coffee shop’s best drinks. Most of the tables have access to power outlets. Signature drinks here include the lavender white mocha and churro latte. Also located in Henderson.
Sunrise Coffee House
This Las Vegas favorite is popular among college students for visiting and getting work done. Seating inside can be a little tight, but the shaded patio is calm. Expect expertly made coffee drinks and light bites.
Urth Caffé UnCommons Las Vegas
The newly opened Urth Cafe offers the same menu as the location found at the Wynn Las Vegas, with the addition of a courtyard filled with trees, tables, and firepits. Grab a cold brew and sit outside for a quiet place to work.
Grouchy John's Coffee
With ice-blended drinks like the Grouchy John with white chocolate and amaretto and the mint mocha frappe with peppermint, there’s plenty here for those who like caffeine, but not necessarily the taste of straight coffee. A bit louder, this coffee shop is great for groups.
The Coffee Class
Drinks at this locally founded coffee shop include the black walnut latte, the brown sugar caramel pecan latte, and shaken cold brew. Breakfast and lunch items include quiche, paninis, and a creme brulee French toast.
