Exciting Rumors: Baby Stacks Breakfast Chain May Expand into Former Da Gemi Space
Rumors are swirling that Baby Stacks, the beloved Las Vegas breakfast and lunch chain, may be expanding into the space next door! Formerly occupied by the Italian Restaurant, Da Gemi, this prime location on Wynn Rd in the Center at Spring Mountain. While we couldn’t confirm the news just yet, sources suggest that it’s a done deal.
Da Gemi, which received rave reviews upon its opening, unfortunately closed a few months after its original chef and owner, “Gemi,” pulled out. Although we’re sad to see them go, we can’t help but look forward to the possibility of more seating at the ever-popular Filipino-inspired Baby Stacks. Stay tuned for updates as we eagerly await official confirmation.
Baby Stacks is a cherished local gem, with its roots firmly planted in Las Vegas. As a homegrown breakfast cafe, it has become a go-to destination for those seeking a delightful morning experience. Infusing traditional American breakfast favorites with a unique island twist, Baby Stacks has carved out its own niche in the culinary scene, offering a tantalizing array of flavors that capture the essence of both comfort and adventure.
