My experience at Cortez coffee was like a personalized coffee experience. Ron (the owner) guided me…read moreinto the warehouse room in the back and showed me the bins of the different kinds of coffee he has. I selected one and he took some beans back to the cafe in the front and made me a cup of coffee with those beans so I could try it out before I bought a bag. The coffee was perfect - well balanced and smooth. Ron said the he owns a coffee farm in Costa Rica (where he is from), but he sources his beans from around the world, depending on where the best beans are from at a particular time of year.

The owner is sweet - she wants to make sure you get an enjoyable drink. Her coffee is not bitter at all (thankfully), it's just a little expensive ($6 for a medium iced latte with DF option). Based on our convo I get the understanding she does not have cold drip coffee - just espresso and hot drip coffee. She also has carbalicious snacks and dessert-y snacks for sale too. Definitely appreciate her hustle!

This place is such a hidden gem! It's just off University, but tucked away perfectly. I loved the…read moreatmosphere and the coffee was very good. My only complaint is that they didn't have caramel for a caramel latte. I ended up getting an iced coconut caramel latte and it was $8 for 12 ounces, which seems extremely expensive for a small coffee. The coffee was good, but strange that they didn't have regular caramel.

This location was so charming, especially being right inside the ASU bookstore! The customer…read moreservice was awesome from start to finish. My daughter and I walked up to the counter ready to order, and I knew I wanted a mocha--but I wasn't completely sure. Hunter stepped right up to the register, already fired up and ready to help. I asked him, "Do you think I want a mocha?" and without hesitation he said yes! We both laughed, and then he suggested adding vanilla, which had me completely sold. Then he started talking to my daughter about a couple of other drink options, and wow--he had me reconsidering my whole order! My daughter reminded me that I don't like prickly pear, but Hunter kindly let me sample it anyway. Sure enough, I still didn't like it--but he made it sound so delicious and refreshing that I almost believed I would! We left already planning our next visit just to see Hunter again. If you get the chance to have an encounter with him, take it! He truly knows the products and how to market them. And most importantly--the drinks were excellent!!!

In addition to coffee and tea, they serve pastries from Chacónne Patisserie and Noble Bread, which are both local legends. I stopped by Regroup Coffee on a random Saturday morning. The parking lot is small, but there were plenty of spots when I got there. I was greeted as soon as I entered. It was a pretty slow morning for the cafe, so it was quiet inside. I ordered a maple date latte with almond milk and a peanut butter banana toast. Both were delicious! I would absolutely return to try more from their menu!

Some of my favorite coffee in the valley, they use high quality coffee beans that really shines through in every drink- I love how their drinks are usually just subtly sweet and don't overpower the drink. I also love that they make some of their syrups in house, which really elevates the drinks they make. highly recommend the almond croissant if you're able to get one before they sell out, it's truly divine. Ive also tried their chai before, which was well spiced and balanced, the strawberry matcha is a great drink as well. I've also tried their protein slayer shake which was good (except i'm not the biggest fan of vegan protein powder). Looking forward to my next visit!

They refunded the order and even went the extra step of sending me a free redo of my original order (and a bonus bag of beans on top of that!). Super happy that it all worked out. I know they're a local company and their coffee is really good, so I really want to support them! ********** I've ordered their coffee several times and the coffee is really good. I appreciate their being a local roaster and their focus on sustainability. I'm giving them a bad review however because I had a subscription with them and they delivered the wrong order (wrong origins and ground instead of whole bean). I've tried repeatedly to get in touch with them about this, but they've completely ignored me.

Not only do they serve up a perfect cappuccino, but they also pride themselves on roasting their own beans, and that attention to quality really shows in every sip.
