About Makers & Finders
Owned by the Molina family and managed by Westmill Restaurants LLC, Makers & Finders opened in 2014 in the heart of the burgeoning Arts District. The concept was developed to create a vibrant, bustling environment where craft coffee, Latin comfort food, & hospitality are the program pillars. The setting is brightly lit with unique patterns and positive affirmations throughout the industrial space providing a lively atmosphere that attracts a large fan base. This restaurant coffee bar provides a full-service experience that incorporates a full bar, with bottomless mimosas, transforming a coffee shop into a bustling café. Coffee can be handcrafted or quick-serve depending on the visit. All syrups are handmade by trained baristas making it the most unique specialty latte menu in Las Vegas. Our Latin inspired menu is entirely made from scratch and to-order, including our famous empanadas, which are each individually handmade.
