Popped in to try out a specialty cold brew. The woman suggested the Phoenix, coffee with soy milk, cinnamon, and agave. It was ok, would try another concoction next time instead. The decor on this place was great. Kinda hip, but cozy and relaxing. Def worth a visit.

This is my “go to” coffee shop! My husband and I just adore this place. I invite all my clients here so they can also get the experience. Not only is it decorated with culture and different monthly art but the service is amazing! Tomato soup and grilled cheese is my favorite meal and The Phoenix coffee is absolutely amazing and I don’t even drink coffee. The atmosphere is fun and uplifting. I love how on Tuesday’s they donate 10% to charity. A Latina owned business who also supports other Latina business owners. I’m proud to say that the owner, Stephanie, has become a dear friend of mine. Definitely give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Relaxing and artistic atmosphere tucked away in a private area near the metro. It seems like a great place to unwind, read a book, do some homework, or have a no pressure date. Excellent coffee with friendly staff. My fiancée and I ordered the lavender honey iced coffee. It was excellent! Definitely will be coming back.

Beautiful, eclectic coffee shop just brimming with culture, great drinks and food. Tons of tables, chairs, couches, cozy spots to hang out by yourself or with friends. Also a shaded outdoor courtyard area.

A lovely coffee shop downtown! Great place to grab some cafecito and enjoy the atmosphere. The decor is very beautiful and the staff was very friendly. I stopped by to check out their new love day drinks, ordered the strawberry creme cold brew & their coffee cake, everything was very delightful! Will definitely be back & I definitely recommend checking this place out when visiting downtown!

Fell in love with this place while in town. Yes decor is gorgeous but I don’t buy into decor. Most places have cute decor but service and coffee sucks. This place is unique and I love that. Coffee & service is really good. Girls are hard working and they make tasty coffee. It’s organic and not burned like a place down the street (Lola’s) sorry had to put them on blast. Literally had to throw away my latte from them and find Fair Trade! I’m so glad I did!For my gluten sensitive people: They have really good peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! We got 12 of them ??They have lunch menu. We had a tuna sandwich on a really good gluten free bread & their spicy hummus plate. Delicious. Basically all sandwiches can be made w/ gluten-free bread. Salad that comes with sandwiches also delicious.I definitely recommend this place and we will see you guys next time we’re in town. Chao! ?

I'd like the first clarify that the staff was super nice and super helpful. The thing that really made this place lose points was with how bad the breakfast burritos were. It's an odd combination of flavors that really needs both spices and honestly an overhaul of what the contents include. There were whole sticks of cilantro instead of just chopped up leaves, random bits of sweet potato and combined it with very lacking any sort of flavor black beans. When you add a really good hot sauce the burrito can pass us something much more edible but in all honesty I think they should simplify the ingredients to a vegan option and a regular option, the vegan option being tumeric and probably a little bit of salt and pepper spiced tofu, the regular burrito just being eggs with a bit of pepper and paprika. In terms of meat choices do a tofu bacon or a veggie sausage, with the regular burrito and go with either a maple sausage or a peppered sausage. But adding in random bits of flavors and then having aioli as the sauce really just made the whole thing feel as if it was thrown together.

Excellent coffee great staff, a lot of beautiful art just hanging around, this place makes you feel very relaxed it's very homey. It's a great hideaway to do homework or just get away from everyone and have a good cup of coffee.

What a great spot! Fantastic customer service and delicious food.

Might be the worst coffee place I’ve been too in PHX. Service was incredibly slow for no reason. Coffee was burnt. The side of avocado was just grocery store guacamole.
