Death Café Las Vegas

02/13/2026

For Le, the coffee shop serves as a community space where customers feel free to grieve and share their experiences with loss. “When you come here, I want you to slow down. Take it in and feel what I’m trying to deliver — a sense of connection.”

Tommy Le turned his own personal tragedy and community-minded spirit into a place where customers can channel love and loss.

UPDATE: There were TEN attendees. Eight female, two male. (I write that to encourage more men to show up. Your presence is wanted and much needed.)

The 90 minute conversation consisted of:

❣️ communal and individual grief

❣️ secondary grief (domino effect of the grief of losing a loved one)

❣️ proxy grief (grieving another person's loss)

❣️ loss from su***de

❣️ suicidal ideation

and more...

We cried. We laughed. We connected.

We wrote down the names of our loved ones who died. When this white sheet is totally filled with "their" names, it will be turned over to a local artist to create something that alchemizes our grief. Thank you for all that participated today. 💜

From the original Death Cafe: "As of today, we have offered 22727 death cafes in 96 countries since September 2011."

Whether it is in San Antonio, the UK, Poland, Japan, or here in Las Vegas, death cafés play an integral part of the worldwide movement towards our attitudes and thoughts about death and dying.

Death is truly the one thread that binds us all.

To quote Ted Lasso, "Be curious."
Live with joy.

"As anxiety about longevity and end-of-life care grows, they're part of a movement to make death talk less taboo."

People are talking about death over cake and tea.

Hi All! I just wanted to take a moment to welcome the new followers. Welcome!!!

Death Café Las Vegas is not a "me thing."

Yes, it fills my souls to bring like-minded individuals together to discuss life's most defining moments. Yes, I feed on learning people's stories, thoughts, and beliefs. And yes, I especially love when folks feel safe enough to divulge their deepest fear or grief.

I am also entertained by the dark humor they sometimes bring!

That being said, this is not the reason I created Death Café Las Vegas.

People are afraid to discuss, plan, or question death and dying for many reasons:

- talking about will make it come sooner
- people will think I'm weak for being afraid
- I'll just "tough it out" when the time comes
- my family knows what I want, no need to write it down
- I'm young, I'll think about it later

And more.

I had a wonderful conversation with a dear friend today and she said "What we fear in death is what we fear in life." Facing what we fear about death and dying is a powerful catalyst for living a full, enjoyable life! This is the "Why" behind these cafés.

Please, join the conversation.
Bring a friend. Live joyfully.💙

"Death cafes are informal safe spaces where people gather to openly discuss death over food and drinks, hoping to normalize conversations about death. Free, guided discussions are often led by death doulas who provide emotional and practical support, and participants can ask questions and make plans for the future.

“People are afraid to talk about death and dying under any circumstances, and this is as bold a way to discuss the subject as any,” Surdoval told the outlet."

Michelle Surdoval’s husband Wally Schauer was diagnosed with cancer and decided to end his life with medical aid in dying. Surdoval said she turned to a death cafe to help her navigate his death and normalize conversations about mortality.
