illy Caffè
Palazzo Waterfall Atrium, Las Vegas, NV
Crema's Take
“Tuck into this Italian import tucked inside the Palazzo for proper illy espresso and gelato that opens later than most Vegas coffee spots—perfect for post-dinner cravings or a caffeine fix when the rest of the city's still sleeping. The gelato here is genuinely flavorful with creative seasonal flavors (piña colada, anyone?), though the coffee itself draws mixed reviews from regulars who appreciate the authenticity even if it doesn't always wow. It's a leisurely, European-style sit-down spot where you're paying for the illy name and the vibe as much as the cup.”

Popped in for something sweet. Chocolate moose was good. Chocolate shake was more like chocolate milk. Coffee was decent
We bought two ice creams 🍦—one strawberry and one piña colada. The strawberry flavor tasted too artificial for my liking 😕🍓. It was a bit overpowering and didn’t taste very natural. The piña colada was not bad, but it wasn’t amazing either 🤷♀️🍍. It had a mild flavor, and I was expecting something more refreshing and tropical. Overall, the experience was okay, but I think there is room for improvement in the flavors and quality. I hope they can make the strawberry taste more natural and enhance the piña colada flavor next time 😊✨
I was so excited during our recent visit to LV when we found an illy coffee shop in the Cosmopolitan. We usually walk down to the Venetian, but we needed to go the other way. I love the illy coffee. When we are in Italy it is one of the brands we find. Having a cappuccino at illy made me feel all the feels of being in an Italy. My husband loved the macaroons. It also has a great place to sit with big windows to watch the strip below. I cannot lie, everytime we walked by it was cappuccino time- let’s say I had my fair share. The decor of illy cups around the cafe is simply beautiful and fun. I cannot wait to go back. If you want a good coffee and macaroons, stop here you won’t be disappointed
It's Illy! And it's a cafe! Of course I love this. Espresso, gelato and all things Italian cafe that opens late and in Palazzo. Since I don't do alcohol, this was the best thing during my conference week. Roll down from my room, look at the oz fountain, stopped by next door for pretty looking donuts. But actually sit down here and have an espresso! Or gelato. At midnight- the best vibes! What's not to like!
The gelato is good and flavorful and interesting flavors but they don't you tasting samples. A single scoop is more than enough. The coffee is fine. Not as good as I expected.
