If you thought a regular café was enough, think again. The upcoming three‑story hotspot “The Coffee Class” is setting up shop at 37 S. Water St. in the budding Water Street District (yep, the district locals point to as “over by the old mall” of downtown Henderson). The aim? A full‑on experience: café, bar and rooftop lounge all under one roof.
The Business Snapshot
This is the chain’s sixth location in the Las Vegas Valley and it’s being framed as a flagship for founder Kyle Cunningham’s coffee and bakery concept. The space spans more than 6,000 square feet across three levels. Ground floor: bakery, café, espresso bar. Second floor: plans for a whiskey & cocktail bar. Third floor: rooftop for weekend brunches, seasonal gatherings and private events.
Standout Offerings
This isn’t your typical “grab a latte and go” coffee house. What makes it wink at locals?
Scratch‑baked goods and savory lunch & brunch fare served on the ground floor
Cocktail & whiskey bar upstairs — perfect for when caffeine hits meet happy hour vibes
Rooftop space for weekend brunches and private events — yes, you can brunch above Henderson
A design aesthetic mixing wood tones + industrial‑chic that gives the place “cool cafe meets grown‑up lounge” energy
Fit with the Community
The Water Street District is actively being rebooted as a hub of culture and commerce in Henderson — this venue is playing nicely into that narrative. Cunningham himself said they “wanted to be part of that story — bringing what we do best to a place with real history.” So for locals who’ve watched the area evolve, this is more than another café — it’s a marker of the neighborhood leveling up.
Closing Kicker
If you’ve been wandering around the Water Street District thinking “we need a place that does both great coffee and an elevated evening scene,” this might be your moment. The Coffee Class is projected to open early 2026 (bar and rooftop coming shortly after). Best to stay tuned — when the rooftop brunch spot hits, it’ll likely be one of those “did you hear about…” places in Henderson.
