The top spot goes to Sweet Talk in Chinatown. I will probably gush about this spot in every Vegas blog, simply because it really is a must stop in Vegas. From the minute you walk into this sweet little shop, you will be hard pressed to not buy the entire display case. Plus, all the drinks are super fun, pretty, and delicious, so plan on coming here a few times during your trip!
2. Ume Tea
Location: 4850 West Flamingo Rd. #46 Las Vegas NV 89103
Ume Tea is another fun place to try, and similar to Sweet Talk, it is very Instagrammable. This is also the first place I ever tried durian, and for that, I will always remember it! I saw the super cute durian cheesecake adorned with whip cream, rasberries, and gooseberries, and had to give it a try. The employees were kind enough to warn me of the smell (I already knew this was a key feature of the famous Taiwainese fruit) and one said he didn't like it, while the other said she did. Regardless, I was sold, as I have always wanted to try this crazy foul-smelling fruit, and figured a cheesecake would be a good foray into durian. While I didn't hate it, I also didn't love it. It actually didn't smell as bad I thought, but it had a weird almost savory flavor to me. Very bizarre, and given that I didn't love the taste, I don't think I will intentionally try it again. But if you are like me, and want to try new things, Ume Tea has durian pastries! The black tea pearl boba with taro is a good milk tea option here!

Pressed for Juice is my most frequented drink spot in town, because it is so good, has so many fun smoothies and juices, and you can add protein powder to everything! The mint chip and cookies and cream smoothies are my favorites!

Dandelion Chocolate has the best mochas and hot/cold chocolates. They also have a cacao fruit smoothie that is kind of tart, kind of sweet, and a perfect summer smoothie when the heat is unbearable!
