Here is a cute place to take a friend to lunch in Henderson!



Julie Ann’s Bakery, Café and Fine Foods

Here is a cute little deli just off Eastern in Henderson called Julie Ann’s Bakery, Café and Fine Foods. Julie’s is a cute place to take a friend to brunch, lunch or dinner. Her sandwiches and soups are delicious and the desserts are to die for! I have a friend whose husband stocks up on her wonderful brownies. Here is something fun, have her pack your picnic lunch!

Need a special gift basket made.... just let her know what you want. You'll love her selection of old fashion goodies like jams and jellies!


Location: Julie Anne's is located in the Eastern Hills Shopping Center (on the northwest corner of Eastern and Sunridge Heights), just behind the "Italian Ristorante". Here is her number if you have questions: 702.566.9979

The District is a nice shopping area in Henderson that is located by Green Valley Ranch. I personally enjoy their events because it's fun watching young children enjoy the music and activities. They have two separate areas where they play music or movies children and adults enjoy together. They also have a cute shuttle bus that is free if you don't want to walk across the street and want to give the kids a thrill. Well if you like to shop, there are some very nice stores like Williams Sonoma and Chicos and many others listed here.

Don't like shopping, they have Green Valley Ranch Hotel & Casino and plenty of restaurants like PF Changs and Elephant Bar!
