    Peach Tea Americano
    Ashley B.

    Super cute and minimalist place with great food and drink options. Cafe flat was a coffee meeting spot for me to catch up Roth and old friend. The volume level was great and we were able to have a great conversation without being interrupted by loud music or ambiance. I decided to try something new and go for a peach tea americano and it was AMAZING. No joke I literally looked up the recipe right after to see if I could make it at home. The flavors of the eta and coffee blended perfectly and I was able to finish it very quickly. The seating is nice and I would consider coming back here to get some work done if it wasn't so far away! They have other unique coffee and tea options so I definitely recommend if you're looking to try something new.

    Creme brulee croffle, blueberry cream croissant, einspanner
    Amanda C.

    Cute and aesthetic coffee shop with lots of seating! The cashier was kind and patient as we decided on our croffle - so many flavors to choose from! We ended up with the creme brulee croffle, blueberry cream croissant, and einspanner drink. The creme brulee croffle was amazing - thick and tasty custard with a crunchy top that paired well with the croffle. The croffles here are pre-made, so they don't come hot like other spots. We didn't mind for this flavor. The cream croissant on the other hand was a bit dry - wish the croissant was more buttery - the pastry felt papery or leathery in a way. The cream inside was good though. The einspanner was a wildcard pick for us - ended up being a very strong coffee with a layer of whipped cream on top. Super good if you like strong coffees! Also not sweet which is how we like it. Would come back to try more drinks & other croffles!

    I tried a hot oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon along with a canelé while my son tried an iced dirty matcha latte from Cafe Flat. Service was fast and friendly. The space is bright, open, and laidback. It's a great place to work or study as they have lots of tables. Cafe Flat offers more than just coffee and tea. They also serve pastries and desserts like croffles, cheesecakes, bingus, and more. They all looked tempting, but I just stuck to my coffee and canelé, which were both wonderful. My son also enjoyed his matcha.

    Peanut Cream Einspanner
    Jessica S.

    Summary: Great coffee, calm study cafe, just a bitter experience due to the owner. Black Sesame Ice Cream Latte: Yummy!! Would order again in a heartbeat. It's a couple scoops of ice cream with espresso. Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Was good but nothing outstanding. Peanut Butter Cream Einspanner (Iced): Peanut butter cream was good, but once you mix the drink together the peanut flavor is lost. If you like the darker bolder coffee taste, this is a good one to try. Vibe: Music is always upbeat and peaceful, mostly a calm study cafe but some people grab and go. Service: On my first visit I was offered a stamp card. 10 stamps, and your next item is free. The owner is always there and is very welcoming and polite, but it's only for the sake of business. It's not genuine friendliness or care for customers. When I picked up my PSL, I immediately noticed the cup was too light. I ordered a large and there was at least 1.5 inches of space between the fill line and the rim of the cup. Why pay extra for a large if I'm getting served a small? Given that the drink was prepared by the cafe owner herself, I would have been embarrassed to serve a customer such a drink. My other complaint is that I'd visited 3 times in the past two weeks, sat in the cafe for at 3+ hours each time, and was in a rush to attend a important zoom meeting, and planned to order after my meeting was over. 30 mins in, I was actively speaking on the video call when the cafe owner interrupted me to say that I couldn't sit without ordering a drink. So many parts of me want to justify her behavior, maybe she's anxious about the cafe not making enough money - but given that she has seen me before and I was actively speaking - that rubbed me the wrong way. I was beginning to feel comfortable at the cafe but that moment made me hesitant to return. If this hadn't happened, I would have considered this a 5/5 star establishment and found a go-to study spot.

    This was my first time at Cafe Flat. I wanted a hot drink before I stopped by my grandparents' house and they live right down the street. I came across this shop by looking on Apple Maps, and they had a bunch of good reviews. Upon entering, I was surprised how big the shop is. The vibe is very minimalistic with an emphasis on high quality food and drinks. They had a pretty big menu! Not only do they have a bunch of drink (both coffee and tea) options, which you can get hot or iced, but they have quite a few food options too. They mainly have like pastries and smaller type things, but they do have some bigger sandwiches as well. The drink menu is pretty unique! I got a pistachio latte, which was honestly pretty good. I had some questions about the other drinks on the menu, and the worker (I am assuming the owner) was knowledgeable about it and provided me with further detail about the drinks. I paid about $7 for my latte, which wasn't terrible, but upon getting my cup, it felt like it wasn't filled to the top. It would've been nice for it to be completely full, but I'm not too made about it. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center. They also do have a stamp card, where after every 10 stamps, you get a free drink I believe. I don't normally come to this area too often, but I kept the card anyways. I would come back for sure, if I ever found myself wanting a good coffee.

    The flavor of the yuzu croffle was light and good but the croffle itself was kinda stale and hard. It was very difficult to cut to eat. I liked that there were decaf coffee options but the drinks weren't good/ fairly watered down. Could barely taste the coffee. We tried the iced dalgona latte and vanilla latte. The cafe was well lit and the music wasn't too loud. However with the food and drinks being lackluster, we prob won't be coming back.

    Mango Matcha Latte, Pistachio Latte
    Carmen P.

    Lots of drinks and croffle options here! Stopped by last Friday to do some remote work with friends. This is a good place to work, study, or catch up with friends. The inside is very spacious, airy, and has minimalist decor. I tried the Iced Pistachio Latte and Iced Mango Matcha Latte. The pistachio latte was good with strong nutty flavor. I also liked the mango matcha but it was a little too sweet.

    Strawberry Fresh Cream & Yuza Cream Cheese
    Karissa K.

    I've been meaning to try this place out and I absolutely love the unique croffle options! I got the strawberry fresh cream & yuza cream cheese croffle and they were the perfect sweet! Not overpowering. My favorite was the yuza cream cheese, it reminds me of lemon drop cookies. I also bought some of their macaroons here and they were good, a little more on the sweeter side though. Service was kind and fast. I'll be coming back to try more!

    I was craving some yummy Croffles, and noticed this place had high ratings... So the place is chic, with a minimalist decor...and I liked the overhead music played. Even initially, I was a bit disappointed with a rather skimpy variety of Croffles displayed in their window. For some reason, I expected more varieties...and in a way, a more polished display? I decided to try 2 flavors of their Croffles...Blueberry and Injeolmi flavors...and here's the deal. The flavors were really good, but the textures were way off. Not soft, warm, fresh or anything. Nothing like what I had at TwoHa's, for instance! In fact, these Croffles were somewhat hardened, and it was extremely difficult to eat them with the cheap, plastic fork and knife given. I basically had to eat with my hands. Ultimately, it was very disappointing. Given the high ratings here, I expected these Croffles to be fresh, warm, soft...the whole works. Nope...they almost had a hard, stale texture. Again, nothing like the high quality, warm, soft Croffles I've tried elsewhere. I also tried their Iced Matcha Latte...and well, it was WARM. They didn't put enough ice in the drink. Again, disappointing. I doubt I'll be returning here.

    What a cute little cafe with great croffles and treats along with plenty of drinks! My friends and I stopped by here in the morning to get breakfast and hangout. We all got three different croffles, and I got the strawberry fresh cream one along with an earl gray latte. They do have plenty of milk options as well which was well appreciated. It took a bit of time to get our food and drinks since there were a few orders ahead of us, but overall I really enjoyed my food and coffee! I've never had a croffle like this one and liked how crispy yet soft it was. The fresh cream had a faint sweetness level and was so airy and light and liked the strawberries on top to complement the dish. I also enjoyed my coffee and liked how there was a faint taste of earl gray in every sip and wasn't overly sweet. The ambiance of the place is quite clean and modern with plenty of seating available to do work or catch up with friends. There's also a giant size parking lot in the front. Overall, a great cafe and can't wait to come back if I'm in the area!

    Grapefruit ade
    Jordanna B.

    Service was exceptional. I ordered the peanut cream latte with grapefruit ade. The latte was perfectly sweet with light peanut undertones. The grapefruit ade was also not overly sweet, refreshing and the sprig of thyme made it WOW! Music is nice, light and cheerful.

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

They charge $5 for their croissant, which was where it falls short. If it were the best croissant I ever had, perhaps. No substitutions. Always hated this rule for every restaurant, but I get it if you have a special and hundreds of customers. We were one of 3 parties on a weekday brunch, super slow. We also ordered the traditional breakfast and a kids breakfast. But instead of bacon, we wanted a croissant for the kids meal. They are both $5 in the menu when ordered separately. First the server said they didnt know (weird) then said they would check and left for 5 minutes. The answer was no. So I paid an extra $5 and added a croissant. I ate the bacon, which improved my salmon Benedict. But neither the croissant nor bacon felt like $5. Kids meal is now the cost of a regular. So I recommend if you dont want any substitutions, try this place. I wont be coming back. It really irks me that you cant just put bread instead of bacon on a kids meal. You aren't a robot, and you are not busy. You are also not getting me as a patron anymore. P.S. the Croissant alone was not worth $5. I rate it a 3 out of 5 on its own.

I've heard they also have another location in Atlanta, Georgia, where parking is required and they offer specialty lemonades. The vibe here was really nice--great music, friendly staff, and beautiful decor. We especially loved the thoughtful touch of flowers on the tables in honor of Mother's Day. Our waitress was kind, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through the menu, including specialty items and pricing. For food, we ordered the shrimp and waffles, chicken tenders with waffles, and the catfish plate, which comes with two sides--we chose potatoes and eggs. Everything was delicious and well-prepared. We also tried their lemonades, which come in a variety of flavors like strawberry, pineapple, and blueberry, and they are refillable. The only downside for us was that they only offer bottled water--we would have preferred the option of having a regular cup of ice water at the table. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was flavorful, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Pricing is around $20+ per person. I just wish they had a location like this in Arizona!
