We've been coming to Grouchy John's pretty much every single day since we moved to South Las Vegas. It's that good. The coffee is consistently great and the staff makes it even better. Cherish especially deserves a shoutout. She always goes above and beyond and brings the best energy every time we stop in. If you haven't been here yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. It's an awesome neighborhood coffee spot with great vibes and even better people.

Started going to Grouchy John's some years ago. I get the same thing every time I go [iced caramel macchiato]. I am never disappointed with my drink. Want to compliment all the staff and especially Charity. She is warm and welcoming; and when I get to see and talk to her, it is like meeting a good friend.

Wow! Back room is huge!! Great wifing/bring laptop to work or study place. Smaller cashier room is more intimate. Unlimited refills. Nice staff. This place was suggested by a friend, tks! Possible to take zoom calls in the backroom since no one is talking here and the music is low. Their additional room is great! Lots of open seating. Game rack is filled. Maybe only 1 other person wifing/WFH/studying in this room on a Friday 9am. The 1st room with cashier and operations is almost 80% filled. That smaller room is more cozy. Snacks here like $4 mini taco burrito with eggs cheese bacon, or eggs cheese sausage. Not bad. Cute. SO got one. Premade so can't take out ingredients. They have vegan cupcakes too! Tip: The additional large room gets cold!! Bring warm jackets and such.

So far out of the 11 coffee shops I've tried in Vegas, Grouchy John's is my favorite. The customer service is always fast, quick, and friendly. The ambiance is very calm and relaxing. The coffee is the best in my opinion. I HIGHLY recommend the iced O.G if you like a sweet/salty flavor. I'm on a hunt for the best coffee in Vegas and so far this place is it for

Loved our coffee...the taste was amazing and the flavors choices for lattes was extensive and fun! The staff was friendly and helped us pick our first drink to try! They even told us to let them know if we needed to adjust it at all - my friend added a little more syrup and they were so kind about it! The restaurant is unique - Star Wars theme and lots of space in the back room as well! they also had a drive through if you don't want to get out of the car! Excellent - wish I lived closer!

Stopped in for coffee yesterday since I've never been here before, the vibes are awesome here! I love the very artsy atmosphere they go for! Layne was really awesome and helped me decide what to get, I told her I love sweet stuff! She made me a cookie butter latte with vanilla and honey, it was killer!! There's also a drive through which I love so I'll definitely be back in the future because of Layne!!

Grouchy John's is a locally-owned coffeeshop with two locations in the Las Vegas Valley. They serve locally sourced pastries and coffee and tea beverages. Their walls are also adorned with art by local artists that's available for purchase. I've been to this location on numerous occasions, and here's what stands out about Grouchy John's: GOOD VIBES: The coffeeshop passes the vibe check. I particularly love the multigenerational crowd that frequents Grouchy John's, often ranging from college students studying to seniors socializing and enjoying the atmosphere. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great customer service! On my most recent visit, I came in during a morning rush and the customer service remained solid and upbeat. In fact, the barista walked up front and hand delivered my drink when it was ready. That was such a class act. CHUPACABRA: My favorite drink at Grouchy John's is the blended chupacabra. The coffee-based drink is just as fun as the name: it comes with dark chocolate, cinnamon, and cayenne. It's the perfect morning boost, and I'm actually going to request extra cayenne on my next visit. :) Earlier this year, Grouchy John's was also voted the Best Coffeeshop in Vegas by Las Vegas Weekly readers... Winner, Winner. Chicken Dinner!

I have been coming to Grouchy John's on Maryland Parkway for the last 7 years...so this review has been a long time coming. My then boyfriend, now husband, was the one who introduced me to Grouchy's...and since then, Grouchy's has been the measuring cup I have judged all my coffee experiences against. The coffee here is not only great tasting...not too bitter, but bold enough to enjoy, it is a true experience. From the Nerdy Star Wars decor, to the themed drinks, the games and community events, to even the artists that the shop supports...there is something for everyone. There are books to get lost in, comfy chairs, tables to work at...an outside area to sit when it's not too hot, and a drive thru! There is a stamp card program to let you earn free drinks, and they support students and teachers as well. If you want a bite to eat, not only are their typical pastries to choose from, but there are wraps, and my personal favorite...oatmeal. They will even mash a banana up into it for me with some peanut butter! I've never ever had a barista who didn't seem to be truly enjoying their job at Grouchy's. My only complaint, which really isn't a complaint, but an observation, is the prices have increased quite a bit. My husband and I paid $7 a piece for a medium iced latte. But prices are up everywhere...I'm willing to pay for good service and a great coffee experience.
