This is an amazing local, queer owned coffee shop! I came in Friday morning to work for a bit and got a medium cold brew and a cute pride sticker. The staff were very helpful and it's such a welcoming space. They've got golden girls playing in the corner and plenty of seating. They also host a lot of community events. I definitely recommend checking out this spot.
From the moment you walk through the door, Brick Road Coffee wraps you in a sense of belonging. The staff -- shoutout to Jordan & Vivian, who were absolutely wonderful -- are warm, conversational, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. This is the kind of place where you immediately feel like a regular, even on your first visit. What makes Brick Road special goes beyond great coffee. They've created a space that's proudly queer-friendly and welcoming to everyone, full stop. The vibe is cozy and eclectic -- there's a small library tucked in, tasty pastries to go alongside your drink, and when I stopped in, The Golden Girls was playing on a projector. Honestly, perfect. I don't find myself in Tempe often, but Brick Road Coffee has officially earned a spot on my must-visit list every time I'm in the area. Do yourself a favor and stop in.
I absolutely love this place!! The vibe is unmatched! I love starting my day here and I always leave this place with a smile! Coffee is strong, the sweets are delicious and service is superb! I love the everything about this place, and my hubby and I stop in every weekend to support an awesome local business with a great mission! The flying monkey is a fav of ours, 6 shots of espresso!!
BEST COFFEE IN TEMPE! I visited Brick Road Coffee because I heard amazing things on Yelp and beyond. The coffee and pastries are exceptional, everything is expertly crafted and well-made. From the wide selection of lattes, I picked Brick Road's Iced Spiced Brown Sugar Shaken Latte, it was perfect, I paired it with a vegan pastry made with brown sugar (I asked for it warm), I melted when I ate it! The pastries are the right amount of sweet. Service was excellent, the baristas are so friendly and welcoming! It's rare to find such polite and helpful staff. They greeted us with a smile and made everyone feel at home. I love the inclusive atmosphere and incredible art on the walls! The merch (tees, stickers), books, and family feel created a comfortable environment where I could imagine myself chilling with a book and just resting. There's tables inside and out, I opted to sit outside so I can enjoy the cool winter day. Next time, I plan to eat inside so can enjoy the gentle lighting and incredible coffee aroma. The Wizard of Oz vibes are strong, I appreciate the pop culture references. Thank YOU Brick Road! Note: Brick Road also sells their coffee grounds in individual packages above their merch.
Excellent little coffee spot! Open and welcoming atmosphere and staff. The Prickly Palmer was fantastic!! Fresh squeezed lemons too. Absolutely a must try!
Our family had such a great mini breakfast at Brick Road. The pastries we got were so good, wish we had ordered more. My fave latte was made perfectly, per usual, and my partner tried a specialty drink which he liked too. Best part of hanging out at Brick Road was the massive library of books and activities (coloring books, board games). There's stuff to do for everyone if you want to just hang out and drink coffee.
Very cute, extremely LGBTQ friendly shop. I also loved the little book nook they had where you can leave and also borrow a book. The baristas were very friendly and gave me the recommendation of the iced Spiced Cookie Latte which was a gingerbread-y, cookie butter type deal. Decent enough taste. I like my coffee very sweet so maybe that's why it was missing the mark a little. I also ordered a cinnamon coffee cake, which was moist, fluffy and delicious.
Local owned coffee shop with cute decorations and welcoming atmosphere located on Rural and next to the highway. This seems to be an extremely popular coffee spot, especially when I went (Sunday around 1pm). The coffee shop had tables and chairs outside and they were all full and there were people standing around chatting outside the shop with their drinks. When you go inside, it is also extremely busy with all the tables being used and a lot of people standing in line waiting to order and waiting for their drinks. The only complaint I have about the inside is that it is extremely narrow near the entrance and order/pick up location and they also have a lot of shelves and stands in that area to hold items for sale. It gives a very claustrophobic feeling, if you have bad anxiety please be mindful of this. The baristas were really friendly and helped recommend a drink when I couldn't decide. My drink was made pretty quickly for how busy it was inside. I got an iced Blackberry Lavendar latte with oatmilk. The drink was refreshing and not too heavy. The blackberry and lavendar flavors were pronounced and balanced, the taste of the actual coffee was a little funky...but overall it was a pretty good drink still. They have a lot of fun drink choices, I will definitely come back and try something new. They also had a lot of food items with gluten free and vegan options. The food items were huge, and they have a lot of fun and delicious looking options! I did not get any this time around since I had just got lunch, but I did have to talk myself out of it a few times. I really appreciated that this coffee shop offered dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan options for their drinks and food, making it extremely inclusive for people with food allergies or intolerance. A disclaimer: After reading lower rated reviews on Yelp, I think it is important to mention that this is an LGBTQIA owned coffee shop, this is acknowledged on their website and in-store. The coffee shop is set up to create an environment and safe space for marginalized communities, and they are welcoming to all. The coffee shop does have a lot of LGBTQIA decorations and items for sale, it also has a lot of political items for sale. (See my pictures for some items to provide context). If you look at their website before going you will see that they are really extremely transparent and open about this being the environment that you will walk into. If this is something that you are not comfortable with, then I would NOT recommend coming to this coffee shop.
A coworker told me this was his favorite coffee shop. I was in the area so I had to try! Very cute shop and places for groups or couples to hang out inside and outside. They have a book with books and adult coloring books with colored pencils you could use while there. I got a pumpkin spice latte. This is one of the most perfect balances of spice creaminess and still be able to taste the flavors of coffee coming through. I was also tempted by the large lemon bar and had to get. It had a nice tanginess without being too tart or too sweet and the crust was a perfect thin crispy. I inhaled it a little too quick that I didn't get a photo! Will definitely come back to try the other drinks they have!
I've been supporting the awesome team at Brick Road Coffee for many years through events, just meeting friends and having coffee and snacks. They have a table size and style for any occasion including the patio. Their pastries are delicious and they always have good coffee. They are a local, neighborhood great who stand up for the little person and I love them. Thank you Brick Road Coffee!
What a gem of a find! Very LGBTQAI supportive. I've been twice now and the staff were warm and friendly both times. The first time I had the coffee cake and this last time I had the cranberry orange muffin. Both were tasty! Also, I absolutely love the lavender honey latte! It's amusing, comforting and warming to my heart to see The Golden Girls projecting on the wall, which were such ally's before many were. Many week night events are on their schedule bringing the community together in a safe place. Please stop and support this wonderful shop!
What a gem, I felt like there was this culture of care and kindness when I first visited yesterday. I came in on a Saturday around noon with 2 others. It was pretty busy, and we probably waited in line for 10-15 mins. I ordered the Blueberry Pancake Latte (advertised as a spring drink, so get it while it's still in season!) and my sister ordered a Cinnamon Roll Latte -- both were DELICIOUS, I miss it already lol. As I was checking out, I signed up for rewards, and it allowed me to redeem the points I had received just for signing up right then (it gave me $2 off). But even without the discount though, the pricing wasn't too crazy. When I said this place felt so kind, it was because of the vibe and because of some interactions we had while here: while waiting for our drinks, we looked around and noticed the walls, stickers (available for purchase by the register), bookshelves, and the cool projector that seemed to be showing an episode of Golden Girls. From everything we read and saw, it already felt like a very inclusive and safe space for everyone. As the three of us were about to sit down, two people came up to us saying they could switch and take our small table so we can have their bigger one, since there were fewer of them -- so sweet! After waiting for 15 mins, something came up and we had to leave ASAP. I flagged down one of the servers and asked if we can delay our drinks for pickup later, but they were so kind and made us our drinks really quick even though it was so busy (well apparently we were next anyway but they were still very nice about it)! We drank the drinks in the car and we were wowed -- my Blueberry Pancake Latte tasted exactly like a blueberry pancake. Same with my sister's order. I wish I was able to get a pastry, but that will have to be for next time :)
Good coffee with a good atmosphere! There is a good amount of seating to work and study at. They also have quite a few tables on the patio in front of the shop as well for outdoor seating. I got the French Revolution and I would ask for it less sweet next time but it was still good. I also think I saw that they had fun event nights pretty frequently as well.
I'm visiting the area for Christmas and stopped here on a whim. I had the cinnamon roll croissant and an iced fireside latte. The croissant was so flaky and buttery and perfect. I thought the cinnamon butter might be too sweet but it was perfect and complimented the croissant so well. The music and ambience was such a vibe. I would have never thought a coffee shop this cool would be in this lil plaza. This is a hidden gem for sure. read more

This place is so cozy with lots of art, pillows, tables, and bench seating. Best part (besides the great iced drinks) is the welcoming attitude from all staff! I've included a couple of fun and welcoming signs to put people at ease. read more

I can't say enough good things about Brick Road. The drinks and pastries are amazing. The coffee shop is super cute, clean, and a great hangout. My kids say this is their new favorite spot. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. They also have plenty of vegan drink options and a delicious vegan blueberry croissant. I highly recommend! read more

I went here on a Friday and Saturday morning. The coffee on Friday was so good that I couldn't wait to come back the next day. On Friday I ordered a decaf iced coffee with lavender cold foam. The person at the register didn't tell me there was no decaf iced coffee so she must have put some milk in there. On Saturday I asked for the same thing and the barista told me there is no decaf iced coffee and I'd need to have an Americano or a latte and he could make it... I think? As I type this it maybe doesn't make sense but I am not a coffee expert. ;) Anyway, the bottom line is that the staff on Saturday went so out of their way to make me an awesome drink. They said that they would change it if I didn't like it bc "there's nothing worse than a bad coffee" and were so kind and patient as I made my zillions of decisions. In particular the male barista and the cashier with curly hair were SOOOO nice and went so above and beyond to make sure I loved my coffee. And bonus for the early 2000's playlist that was playing while we were there. Great coffee, great staff, when I am in town again I'll be back! read more

So happy to have found this coffee shop! Such an inviting space. Great coffee, friendly staff, & delicious pastries. read more
I'm not gonna lie, I do spend unnecessary hours on tiktok weekly, and I don't think that's going to change. I started seeing tictoks for Brick Road Coffee on my FYP (coffeetok is a fav) and I wasn't even sure where Brick Road Coffee was, but I really enjoyed their tictoks. Then I saw one with the address off Rural in Tempe and thought hot damn I need to go! Brick Road Coffee is a super cute coffee shop and really love the Golden Girls playing the corner! LOVE IT! I am currently working my way through the drink menu. But I have 2 favorites so far, the Cinnamon Roll Latte and the Hope Dealer Mocha, both are delish and are becoming fast favs of mine. The Cinnamon Roll is everything you would have in a roll but in drink form and the Hope Dealer Mocha is like an liquid almond joy! Perfection!! If you are in the area, follow the Brick Road and get you some coffee! read more
I forgot to take a photo of my coffee because I was so enthralled with the vibe of this place. Brick Road has got it figured out. My first impression was they had some killer merch and an incredibly friendly and helpful staff. As I made my way to the back of the coffee shop I realized that it wasn't just a vibe but that community was at the heart of everything they did (peep the hallway on policy change en route to the restrooms). LGBTQA and sober friendly. As a member of the LGBTQA community I appreciate that there are safe spaces like this to enjoy as my authentic self. The coffee was excellent (so good I forgot to take a photo) and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Excellent coffee shop. Friendly staff (Nick & Gabe), delicious drinks and baked goods. Inviting and warm atmosphere. There's games, a lending library, Golden Girls, and free wifi. Nice place to study or work or just enjoy being there. Owner Gabe was nice enough to talk to me and tell me his story of how he started. Wish him the best of luck! read more

Another local hidden gem. Brick Road coffee is such a cool little shop that you must check out. I had a white peppermint mocha and it was quite tasty. They use locally roasted Cult Coffee. Brick Road Coffee is an LGBTQ owned and operated coffeeshop. I had a long nice chat with Gabe (owner, along with his husband) about opening Brick Road and his vision for it in the future. He was such a sweetheart and his vision for supporting the community and cultivating a safe place is inspiring. Currently they are closed Sunday & Monday, and open all other days from 11am-10pm (except Thursday closing at 8pm). But it was mentioned earlier hours may start in the new year, but be sure to follow them on their social media pages (IG) for most up to date info. Hopefully ya'll get a chance to go and check them out and support a wonderful business! read more

By far the best local coffee I've *ever* tried. I'm talking I drove through 5 total states to get to Arizona from Washington (scenic route) with plenty of coffee to get me through. All of the baristas are incredibly friendly and offer excellent recommendations every time. LGBTQIA+ safe space, calendars with events they hold or sponsor every month, Golden Girls always playing on a projector. You can't go wrong with any of the pastries- the chocolate croissant perfect for those with a sweet tooth. They support other small businesses and local artists as well! read more

Got to swing by after taking the kids to the splash pad last week, and I think I have a new favorite coffee spot! The coffee was super smooth, the kids loved their blueberry muffins, and we all got super cute pride flag stickers that are now displayed on our water bottles. Go support an awesome business, I know we'll be back (and will go out of our way to do so!) read more

Brick Road Coffee is a gift to the Phoenix metro area and a breath of fresh air. I went for the first time several months ago when they were gathering signatures for local elections. I wanted to support businesses and their owners who speak up and advocate for equal rights and the right to bodily autonomy. Despite it being very busy, the staff was incredibly friendly and the line moved quickly. The iced dirty chai was delish! I can't wait to come back. read more
