if you're on campus this should be the only place you eat at. get the monty sando it's really good. it goes pretty fast if there's not a line, but takes the same amount of time as anywhere else. you can't really sit inside but there's plenty of tables in hospitality.

I am so proud to be a UNLV student and staff. Personally, my favorite part of campus is the Hospitality Building. Hospitality has always been an important part of Vegas and UNLV. Now, they've added an amazing opportunity for our students to experience hospitality and management firsthand! Rebel Grounds is a cafe where hospitality students can apply and work, to build their resume and still be close to school. One of my favorite things about the Rebel Grounds is that their student workers can create a drink of the week! My student crafted the Toasted Coconut Dream Extreme and it was so good, I got it twice! The drink is only $5 which is super affordable but the only con is that they don't take cash. Staff was amazing and drink was satisfying! Go Rebels!

Service was bad. I got my bagel and asked for another cream cheese since they are tiny. The girl looked flustered and annoyed. Then she said it's a charge, I said okay. she said it's .75 cents, I said okay. she said we only take card, I said okay. She goes over to someone else and when she does I put my card on the counter. She come back and tosses the cream cheese at me saying next time it's .75 cents, barely showing her face and walking away. Very rude. I went back to the counter and saidHey i believe they forgot my drink. The same girl that tossed the cream cheese at me loudly goes "WHAT DID SHE SAY" to the cashier. Like y'all are off your rockers and need help it's not that serious... I didn't know it was an extra charge and that could've been handled better.

What can you expect from student staff I guess. Even at a dead hour with no line, expect 10 minutes for your coffee and 30 minutes for your food.

This is the absolute last place I go to for coffee. I genuinely have grown large hate for this establishment due to how incompetent the staff is. The demographic of the staff is only students, knowing that Nevada is ranked lowest in education should tell you how this place operates. I once ordered iced lattes and received a cup of milk. No espresso, just milk. Idiots forgot to put espresso in my iced latte. When mistakes like this are asked to be fixed, they ask you to pay for them. The Asian girl named Kcheung is the most incompetent barista/cashier in this world. Another time she was helping me, when I asked her what was in the S.S Caramel drink, she only replied with "caramel." No shit. Their employees have absolutely no knowledge of coffee or the menu. I don't understand how they weren't able to find smarter people to work out this establishment. This coffee place has so much potential but is the absolute worst due to the fact that the students are absolute morons.

Their coffees and chai tea lattes are good. They also have a good chorizo burrito. Their pastries are so-so. Their service is mostly good, only a few times did a get someone who seemed forced to be there. It's definitely a great option when on campus.
Great people and great food! I really enjoy coming here; however, I do not recommend the coconut caramel latte. This drink had me fighting for my life. Why was it sour? I don't understand and there is no one to blame but the drink itself. I felt personally offended by this drink. The ice was not melted yet the drink was warm. I have so many questions but I desire no answers, just the will to never order that drink again. They're chai and cold brew are great options though! :)

I don't come to cafes like this often enough to know how to order. Rebel Grounds has a few different menus to look at. Grab and Go. In house. Coffees. Teas. I don't know what else. When I came in today I saw a couple of things on the grab and go menu that sounded good but were not in the grab and go case. Afterall, this was late in their day. They were probably sold out of a lot. I ended up with the only sandwich I saw in the case. A turkey sandwich with havarti cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, and cranberry sauce. It looked tasty. And it was. Though the bottom bun had gotten soggy since this was a pre-made sandwich. I wanted dessert too so I also ordered chocolate croissant. They killed it and not in the good way. It looked nice and fluffy in the case but they heated it up and it deflated. Got kind of chewy too. That was disappointing. I also ordered a hot green tea. This was delicious. Very fresh and vibrant. That was probably my favorite part of lunch today. I appreciate that Rebel Grounds is here as an alternative to Starbucks. But there is a reason I don't come to places like this. I get too confused and too lost.

Really nice place! They have many unique drinks, I would say my favorite is the SS Caramel. The staff is very friendly, and they even do weekly staff pick drinks now. The best part about Rebel Grounds is the many options they have, whether it be the seasonal drinks, or staff creations theres always something new and delicious to try out!

Next time you are at UNLV or if you are a student I highly recommend this spot for coffee and snacks. They use mother ship coffee roasters beans and can brew a mean cup o joe! Also this is a bit of a hidden gem because it is NEVER busy. Skip the chain coffee spot at the student union and make your way over to the hospitality school building instead. Plus pro tip, the cactus garden is right next door and a perfect spot to enjoy your morning/afternoon beverage. Go Rebels!

The menu on their website hasn't been updated. I was going to order the grilled cheese they have on there (I don't eat pork), but they told me they don't serve it anymore. There aren't many meatless options here, I saw one or two max. Also they're not taking cash at the moment which I find funny because they have a tip jar full of cash and coins . Coffee was better than coffee bean though so I'll give them that.
