"A coffee shop that typically does not show up on Yelp or other popular listings, this unique establishment resides in China Town and offers no visible sign of entry. Gäbi Coffee & Bakery serves craft coffee and artisan pastries. Once you enter the large, heavy anachronistic wooden, antique door, you’ll walk right into a world resembling Alice in Wonderland."
"For the instantly charming coffee shop in Las Vegas, got to go to Gäbi’s for that. This shop is actually a Korean coffee house but they don’t make their coffees any different here; just better. Try their specialty coffee The Gäbi, a dry cappuccino, and pair it with their deliciously guilty sweets such as a tiramisu."
"Gäbi Coffee & Bakery takes its cue from 1920s Korean coffee culture. Behind the unmarked antique door is an industrial warehouse that’s anything but utilitarian. Central to the design is a greenhouse where all the roasting and baking happens."
