3940 Coffee and Tea

$ 18 for a veggie breakfast burrito. WTF. It was tasty bit small and not spicy enough. At any other café, this would be priced easily under $ 10 including the side of fruit and generous slice of avocado, but it is the Delano so I can’t complain too much. I was just starving and I wasn’t about to leave the resort any time soon so…

LOVE my mocha! Love it! Excellent coffee and excellent service. Much better than Starbucks. Starbucks coffee is much more acidic and it’s a soul sucking experience. Not 3940 Coffee and Tea!

I’m usually not a fan of these kind of small chain coffee places inside the hotels and casinos because the prices are beyond ridiculous! This too was no exception however when you have a food and beverage credit that you can use on the casinos dime? Oh I’m all for coming then! I ordered the Green Juice ($ 7) which is this tiny cup of kale.ginger.and some other stuff. Taste was healthy but worth $ 7? Nah. Then to the chicken hummus wrap which I believe was $ 11 and the taste was just okay. again not worth the money. Onto the breakfast wrap which was pretty good and lastly the cupcake latte which was different but yet tasty! Bottom line would I return again? Depends on if I have another food and beverage comp. other than that I won’t be back with spending my own coins $$

Great coffee and snacks but a Starbucks is only a few feet away at the Mandalay bay! He name is the address of the building — how creative!

Lady who took our order was rude. She acts like we should know what they have and when you ask a question she is downright rude. Seriously, we are staying at a hotel, we are not regulars. Bagels are hidden in the back. Are not listed on menu and we wouldn’t have even known they had bagels had another customer not ordered it. ($ 5 by the way) My drink order was wrong because she didn’t care to hear me because she was being so rude. When I corrected the barrista she was kind enough to make the correct drink but nobody offered a refund for the price difference. This place is expensive but convenient when you are on a schedule and leaving early. For all of the amenities and Vegas being in the service industry it’s ridiculous that anyone should be so rude.

I was excited when I saw on the Delano website that 3940 Coffee and Tea offers afternoon tea — I love afternoon tea and I was going to be staying at the hotel so how perfect was that?! I did not see any information on tea reservations on the website, so I called the hotel to inquire about it. The person I spoke with did not sound too knowledgeable when asked about afternoon tea reservations, and even sounded as if she was reading straight from the website while I was speaking with her. In the end she told me that 3940 was a walk-​in only establishment, so walk in is what we did.
Imagine our disappointment when we were informed that afternoon tea was by 24-​hour advance notice only. After explaining the above to the barista, he spoke with a manager in the back, Tiffany, who then came out to speak with us. We were told that due to the busy season being over that there were less employees; therefore, afternoon tea could no longer be offered on a daily basis. We were going to be in town for such a short amount of time and could not squeeze their afternoon tea any other time during our stay, so the manager apologized for the misinformation on the website and over the phone and made sure we did not leave disappointed. She offered to make us our teas herself even though it was something she had not really done before, and even brought us some pastries — all on the house! We basically got our afternoon tea after all, without the savory sandwiches, though. That by all means was okay with us, as we were well taken care of by management. Thank you, Tiffany, for serving us personally and making sure we left happy customers :)
Afternoon tea is no longer listed on the website, so if you are interested, I would suggest rather than calling actually going to 3940 to ask about it and make reservations — just give 24 hours advance notice. (Assuming that they are still doing afternoon tea.) If it’s still offered, I highly suggest it — teas were tasty and pastries fresh and yummy! Cozy living room feel to the place also — part coffee shop, part cozy living room. It would have been nice to taste their sandwiches as well, but maybe next time :)

Items in the display case including the pastries, muffins and cookies did not show prices which was surprising because they were individually labeled. I still want to know the cost even if I’m going to be price gouged. Luckily there was a Starbucks only several hundred feet away.

Items Ordered:
Pecan Sticky Bun

Located off the lobby of the recently rebranded Delano, with a trendy wooden décor «inspired by desert shade’» and several styles of seating juxtaposing a small bar flanking a marble hearth, 3940 ups the ante in the world of casino coffee shops not only in terms of styling but also in offerings, a variety of overpriced artisan sandwiches served alongside an impressive lineup of pastries, lattes, juices, and teas.
Legalistically named and across the way from Franklin it was just after 3pm that I arrived at the brightly lit bar and with folks from an ongoing tech conference occupying several tables as well as the leather recliners in the corner a quick chat with friendly baristas yielded a double espresso over ice and a six-​part sampling of the day’s pastries, the total just under twenty-​seven dollars.
Noting that $ 5 for a double over ice is more-​or-​less the going price at every Strip-​side Starbucks suffice it to say that the Grand Avenue Roasted shots from 3940 are a significant upgrade over the competition, and with similar praise lavished on a warm sticky bun that somehow maintains crunchy layers of lamination beneath a mountain of candied pecans and butter one only wishes the rest of the wares could have been so good, the cupcake far better to look at than to eat given the substantially sweet and paste-​thick icing while each of the cookies, save for graham-​cracker caramel studded ‘Smores, was almost brownie-​dense and entirely one note.
Offering better coffee than almost any coffee bar on the strip, along with several interesting lattes and fresh squeezed juices, but exceedingly expensive for sandwiches that look no more interesting than Panera it seems the best bet for a visit to 3940 is for beverages alone and although the sticky bun is quite excellent, an even better version can be had fresh to order from Della’s Kitchen just down the hall.
