Better Days, a local cafe offering coffee, acai bowls, apparel, and more in Centennial Hills, is coming up on its second birthday this January. The cafe is celebrating by launching its second location, this time at 10595 Discovery Drive in Summerlin.
Owner and local entrepreneur Justice Horden started Better Days Cafe after spending the early years of his career working in acai bowl cafes.
“I fell in love with working with fresh fruit, making bowls and things like that,” Horden told What Now on Thursday. “I wanted to do a coffee shop and acai bowl place, with gourmet toasts. That’s where the idea grew and then it ended up snowballing.”
In addition to its selection of coffee, bowls, smoothies, and toasts, Better Days also has one foot in the apparel space, with merchandise that transcends the typical coffee shop t-shirt. The cafe’s aesthetic matches its organic approach to food and drink with a taste for simple materials, like its raw concrete counters and floors.
After getting the first Better Days up and running, Horden says the process of opening the second location has been a bit smoother.
“With the first one, I’d never opened a coffee shop before,” said Horden. “I never knew how hard it was to build one out. I was stressing about choosing faucets, things like that. With the second one, I had dialed in exactly what I was looking for.”
