Rich Serpe fell in love with the art of coffee making during a childhood trip to Italy with his grandmother, which came to fruition years later in Coffee Roasters of Las Vegas, a full-on coffee bean roasting house, cooffee and tea house, and retail store. It offered free behind-the-scenes demonstrations of the whole bean-to-coffee process and was a great spot for purchasing interesting gifts. However, after many years serving the Las Vegas community and it's coffee-loving visitors, in 2008 the facility closed without warning, a victim of the economy and a less-than-ideal location, we assume, and we've been unable to find any trace of Rich or Rene since.
