I stayed at Rise Uptown Hotel so I had to pay a visit to Cartel! I did not disappoint! It's a clean and cute spot! The coffee stands apart from others! It's uniquely flavored in a good way! I enjoyed sitting out front on the patio but the inside is also really nice. Olivia served me both times I visited, she was so professional, nice and had a really cool playlist going! It's a must try!

Was looking for a good spot for a coffee date with a friend in Uptown and found Cartel Roasting. The shop itself is very small, it can maybe set no more than 8 people inside, but also has seating outside. The space is clean and well maintained with a easy to read menu. I ordered their Autumn Matcha and loved the unique flavoring. Prices were reasonable, the staff were kind and service was speedy.

I was not very impressed by this coffee shop. It's tucked next to Lylo Swim Club so you park in the back and then walk towards the street. It's a little tricky to find the first time. I got a small iced americano and a French toast muffin - both cost $5 each which felt a little on the higher end for the size and quality. The texture and flavor of the muffin really fell flat for me; I can bake a better muffin. The aesthetic inside the coffee shop is cute and modern, but there's very limited searing and there is not a bathroom inside. The service was ok.

Nestled by the Lylo Swin Club is this cute and quaint Cartel Roasting location. This is more of a grab and go location as there is minimal seating. They had some delicious looking pastries, but my Yelp bestie and I stuck to coffee as we had just eaten at Lylo Swim Club. Loved the cortado for a pick me up. If you need to use the restroom, you will need to let the barista know as they share the bathroom located in the pool area. The barista will open the gate for you to walk in.

Chai

Lovely little shop. I love their dirty chai. Yes it is a quaint space but the product is worth it.

Parking tip: turn at the 3rd Ave light or worst case park at the hotel (but this can be busy) Coffee is great Staff is friendly Small cute location

Stopped in for a quick pick me up after lounging at the bar next door. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered a small iced vanilla latte ($6.00 + $0.75 for vanilla). It was good but not my favorite tasting latte. Love the vibes of the coffee shop. Comfortable seating and good tunes. Prepackaged food items as well as beans for purchase. Parking is a little tricky as it appears it's shared with the hotel and surrounding businesses and the parking lot is quite tight. The coffee shop is tucked away but has clear signs to show where to go to get your caffeine fix!

Cartel is my favorite coffee shop in the valley. This shop is one of the closest to me so I frequent this one the most, although there are many more around the valley. I will only buy my beans from Cartel. They have a wide variety of roast flavors and all are great. Their coffees are delicious and they have pastries and burritos available too. This specific location is a bit smaller and harder to get to as its next to Rise Uptown and on a main street but always worth a stop in. Quick, friendly service and cute shop!

Cartel Roasting Company has a relaxing, cool vibe. Very friendly staff. And I enjoyed an artful and delicious cappuccino and espresso. Who could ask for anything more?

I was staying at Rise and wanted to get coffee since they do not offer coffee. A few things to note: only 1 size of coffee, they only pull double shots, and limited seating. My first impression was that it was small but nice vibe. The menu on the wall does not provide a lot of detail but they do have a paper menu. No smiles, unwelcoming, and just rude when I ordered incorrectly or miscommunication. I will not be going back. I'll find another place. I didn't even feel comfortable enough to take pictures inside. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere. Also the coffee was biter. I'm from PNW and I know coffee. (Danish was not warm & stale)

Good service but the coffee was a big disappointment. Tasted more like mushroom tea than coffee. Prices are high and sizes are small. Overall, skip this stop

Tasty. But too PRICEY. Two potato small burritos, two lattes and it was 35$ The only reason I come here is because I stay at Rise Uptown Hotel often and they are connected. You can enter this coffee shop from the rooms at the hotel, the hotel pool, or off the main road. Staff is not very helpful when it comes to suggestions and they seem snobby to a degree, prob because they are a little bougie compared to other coffee shops, lots of different types of drip coffee and items to purchase. They have a cute little bar seating inside the pool area for the hotel with a large window to pick up coffee order. Overall the coffee is tasty. Burritos not so much. I'll only go when I stay at the hotel. I took 2 stars because it was OVERPRICED.

I loved that this cute little coffee spot was by my hotel. I loved waking up early to grab my coffee and enjoy the early mornings. My vanilla latte was pretty good but the other coffee options were not good quality. I do however love the caramel banana bread So delicious. If they had better beans I think it would taste so much better but overall it was okay.

First time to this location and its just as cute and clean as the other. Its also has a nice patio…read morewith misters and can be open to the weather on a nice day. We got the Zinger and Here Comes the Sun breakfast sandwiches, the potato sidekick, kale salad, and botanical drinks. I love that they have 2 caffeine free "tea" options! The eggs in the sandwiches were the perfect level of just slightly runny. And I don't know what magic bread they use but it never feels overly heavy. The potato sidekick is amazing! I would order that again to take home and serve with dinner. I love the kale salad and it never disappoints. Cool and sweet and getting your greens in is a win! Huge fan of Zooks and hope someday they can open a central Tempe location!

I don't know how they do it, but these sandwiches have no flavor. The bread even tastes like…read morenothing. Just flavorless pockets of goo. I really don't understand how they can taste like nothing, but it's like eating a warm void. I think it's like in painting when you mix too many colors together and everything turns to mud.

I'm from New York, and I've never had a bad sandwich here....evah!…read more Love the Meatball, the Pastrami, The Italian - even a simple Roast beef. I think Franks is one of the best Deli's in the area....bar none!

FIRST OFF! When asking how do you make your Meatball…read moreSandwich there is 1 correct answer! These guys NAILED IT! I know some of you are uneducated about the quality of a meatball sandwich & that's ok, I'm not judging so do not be offended. To begin... This is a neighborhood place just like back east , nestled in a neighborhood on the corner hidden from the strip mall garbage. When you come here, and you better, do not be distracted by the path to tasty food. It is in an older neighborhood with minimal parking but fantastic personalities, service & FOOD! Upon entry it's a time warp for us who grew up in a time that was better. This is a good Olde Fashion deli that sells great food with amazing service. Franks is a family place. Back to the real topic... Meatball Sandwich; when you ask what is the cheese that use & the owner is educated on quality be states "Provolone on the bottom, Mozzarella on top" just know you're in the right place! The flavor is top notch, added some cherry peppers to spice it up just right, bell peppers & onions are standard. Took it to go, drove about 20 minutes to where I needed to be, the aroma was teasing me, the concern of the sandwich being cold or soggy rang in my mind while driving the 17 to the 10.. I was nervous, anxious & salivating.... Opening the togo container to see the glorious sandwich! The meatballs are still hot, the sauce is holding place & the bread is still bread, not some soggy remnant of dough! Thank you for the pride, quality & tasty sandwich.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Cheba Hut is a cannabis-themed sub shop eatery, and parking ended up being manageable. The place was very busy when I arrived, so I grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was clearly juggling a lot but stayed friendly and personable. The place was super clean, and I immediately loved the laid-back neighborhood vibe near Roosevelt Row. I ordered the French dip sub along with a munchie- pretzel nugs. Cheba offers three sandwich sizes (Nug, Pinner, and Blunt), which makes ordering easy depending on your appetite. Everything came out fresh and flavorful, and the pretzel mugs were especially good, soft and salty, Parking here is a little more limited than some other locations, but overall I really enjoyed my first visit and was happy to learn there are multiple Cheba Hut locations around town. I'll definitely be back.
