I think about the coffee at Case Study at least twice a week. I tried the vanilla cold brew with cherry cold foam and I think that ruined every cold brew I will ever have again. The flavors were 10/10

Stopped by Case Study Coffee. The coffee was good, and the space is super cool with lots of indoor seating. PERFECT for laptop people. The pop tart was divine, like actually so good. My friend got the burrito but it was pretty basic. I loved the little window into the kitchen where you can see the chef at work. They also had a Spotify board that changed with the music, which was fun, and the playlist was solid. Overall just a really good space to hang out with good coffee. Parking could be annoying.

The vide is this place is great. Smaller coffee shop but that's not a negative. Baristas were welcoming and attentive. Great options for coffee and matcha, with an assortment of flavors. Great seasonal options. Lounge area was clean and cool. Very chill. Had a little confusion with our order but they were on top of it to make things right! Seem to be very knowledgeable.

I didn't realize how cute this place was! It's pretty spacious. I don't know what it's like during peak hours but when I went in the morning around 8am, there was more than enough room. Tables are big and there's adequate lighting- a great place to study. I got the dark horseman, it was really good. It was pretty sweet. I'd say this is a place worth checking out!

Excellent coffee spot to enjoy a drink, conversation, people watch, and may more!!! Super large sitting and study area that provides a quiet yet buzzy atmosphere. The coffees here an excellent, the pastries super fresh. Customer service is excellent. Grade: A+++

Tasty coffee roasted on location. A focused snacks menu. Plenty of tables for working in the back with a smaller area with couches in the front. Good stuff!

I came here for Case Study and Friends night and the turnout was crazy packed. Loved the vibe and how they live-streamed the dj sets on Twitch for everyone to see while they waited in line. I got an espresso martini. They also had IPA's and coffee and matcha selections. Since they are showing a lot of growth in turnout, I suggest they have a little more organization in where to stand once you get in to order. The A/C could have also been on higher as it got super hot with how many people were there. Good variety of music with the djs and fun night for the middle of the week :)

Very cool coffee shop and seems like a great place to lounge and study. It can get busy and then it gets awkward because the walkways get narrow when some seats are occupied. It felt cramped so we just left after we got our drinks. The coffee was nice and the specialties we thought were executed well. Across the board in my group, we were not fans of the matcha guava. Although guava flavor was present, the taste was predominantly milk like many other coffee spots with matcha we come across. Worth a stop for anything else though!

Love this place and want to keep it a secret but they have gluten free crepes! It's hard to find good coffee shops that have gluten free option or a GF option that isn't a peanut butter based product. I like the atmosphere of this place and love going there alone to read or work. The service is usually quick but they do get busy and take that into consideration. They are a small venue but they have heart. read more

Once you walk into this coffee shop you are transported to a sense provoking atmosphere. You can instantly tell that no detail was left untouched and each decision was thoughtfully planned out. The smell of freshly brewed coffee cuts through the meticulously hand crafted wood that still lingers though the air when the establishment was once a wood shop. My favorite crepe thus far (and believe I will try them all at some point) is the savory crepe, you can tell Will puts extra love one with each one he creates, the citrus infused arugula on-top is like icing on a cake. Don't forget this is also a coffee shop and the barista Vera creates not only the most beautiful crafted lattes but her expertise in flavor combinations keeps you craving for more. My fave is the rosemary vanilla latte (iced is just as good as the hot). I cant wait to see what what gets crafted next at Case Study! read more

Although the front is small, the shop itself is very clean and welcoming. I got a vanilla and rosemary iced latte, it was pretty good! Typically I've noticed that when coffee shops have a rosemary flavor, its often too strong. But theirs is strong enough to compliment the espresso yet not overpower it, It works great together with vanilla in a latte! The staff were joyful and sweet, and they were quick to craft my drink. I look forward to trying their matcha and maybe a another latte but with their brown sugar and sage instead. read more

Absolutely love their espresso. Their drinks are always 10/10 and the baristas are all friendly and attentive. I always look for a good cafe to work from and their tables and desks are the perfect space. The only critique I have is the music that was being played in the afternoon I went in, it was some electro beats + bass. It sounded like the same song repeatedly being played over and over again and it made it quite hard to concentrate (even when I put my headphones on) the people sitting next to me didn't like it either and left but they usually have GREAT music though (the indie rock/punk rock/grunge) so I don't think the music choice is deserving of a lower rating - more of a personal thing. But nevertheless, I will definitely keep on stopping by!!! read more

Was not greeted by any staff (although at least 4 walked past me without even a head nod), had no idea what the menu was or pricing. Located a girl standing in front of a register and asked her where the menu was ~ she pointed and said over there... There were 4 different cards sitting where she pointed. (The red one's are for food.) I randomly order something. (Espresso over ice with whole milk ~ received it with oat milk took a taste and yucked out of that. Directly into the dumpster at the back of the parking lot. ) I could have went back in there but for $6 it wasn't worth my time. If you are a regular, they seem to treat them very nice. If you are new to their establishment ~ you don't matter.

It's the perfect way to unwind, catch up with friends, and enjoy some of Arizona's finest locally crafted beer. Whether you're there for the food, the beer, or the lively patio atmosphere, Arizona Wilderness never disappoints. If you're in the neighborhood--or even if you're not--it's well worth the visit.

The only reason I didn't give this updated review a 5-I ordered the banh mi sando and the sandwich was so dry. Chicken was dry. The cilantro wasn't chopped I had to pick out long stems. Also I got the AZ frosè and the rosemary syrup was just way too pungent to enjoy the whole beverage. I wished it had been more balanced. Especially when the French fries are heavily seasoned with rosemary--a bit too much.

Drinking coffee at Case Study felt like stepping into a space designed by people who genuinely love coffee and want you to feel that love too. The moment I walked in, the aroma alone told me this wasn't going to be an ordinary cup the air had that warm, roasted depth that makes you perk up before you even place your order. I went with a simple brewed coffee, and honestly, it didn't need anything added. The flavor was incredibly clean and balanced, with this subtle sweetness that lingered just long enough to make each sip feel intentional. You can tell they roast with precision; the coffee had personality without being overpowering, the kind of cup you keep sipping even after it's cooled because the taste holds up. The atmosphere was a mix of modern minimalism and cozy neighborhood café. Soft light, plenty of space to breathe, and just enough background chatter to make it feel alive without being distracting. I grabbed a seat by the window, and it turned into one of those unexpectedly peaceful pauses in the day you sit, watch people come and go, and enjoy the simplicity of a good cup done right. The staff were warm in a way that didn't feel scripted. They answered a couple of quick questions about the roast with genuine enthusiasm, and that energy alone added to the experience. By the time I left, I felt refreshed, awake, and oddly inspired like Case Study managed to wrap up good coffee, good atmosphere, and good energy into one stop. I'd definitely go back, maybe next time for a pour-over or one of their specialty drinks, but honestly, even their basic brew is worth the trip. Gus Woltmann read more

There's something special about finding a coffee shop that gets everything right, and Case Study Coffee was exactly that for me. From the moment I walked in, I loved the bright, modern space and the relaxed atmosphere. It has a welcoming energy that makes you want to slow down, stay awhile, and enjoy your coffee instead of rushing out the door. The coffee was fantastic. You can immediately tell that every cup is crafted with care and attention to detail. It was smooth, well-balanced, and the kind of coffee that reminds you why specialty cafés are worth supporting. I found myself savoring every sip. Beyond the coffee itself, I really appreciated how friendly and welcoming the staff was. The service felt genuine, and the entire experience was effortless from start to finish. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into creating not just great coffee, but an environment where people genuinely enjoy spending time. Case Study Coffee left a lasting impression on me, and it's easily the kind of place I look forward to visiting again. If you appreciate quality coffee, a thoughtfully designed space, and genuinely kind service, this café is absolutely worth checking out. read more

Too many words and thoughts to describe this establishment in 140 characters. Case Study encompasses all of the following: Craftsmanship, Genuine Approach, Authenticity, Attention to detail, Honesty and Vulnerability. The words above are the reasons why this new venture/business will thrive. While the space is amazing, the coffee and crepes are enough for anyone to return. Taking the time to get to know the owners is the real icing on the cake. Will and Rene as a tag-team duo is a unique and special bond to witness. Their ability to convert a portion of the wood shop into a coffee lounge in a short amount of time, is a testament to their willingness to listen and learn from others. While "A Craftsmen Never Dies" is illuminated on the wall, it serves more than a reminder and is felt throughout the entirety of the space, the hospitality and the overall product. While I don't want to spoil all of the details, I think it would be worth your time to ask Will and Rene about their love for problem solving. Facing challenges head-on is not everyone's cup of Joe...but I'm positive someone could write case study around their addiction to it. read more

Case Study has always been my safe haven when it comes to tea, but today I made the decision to explore their coffee choices. The scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as I curled up in a comfortable corner with my most recent read, setting the tone for a restful evening. Rich and strong, the coffee was a nice surprise. It went well with my book, bringing together a symphony of tastes that made reading more enjoyable. The Case Study baristas are experts in what they do. The ambiance here is a serene backdrop to escape the hustle, allowing you to savor both your beverage and your book. Whether you're a tea enthusiast or branching out to their coffee offerings, Case Study continues to be the ideal spot for a peaceful retreat with a good book in hand. read more

It's a real love-hate issue for me with Case Study.... I love everything about this place except leaving with the kitchen smell on me for the rest of the day. Great vibe, great staff, great food, great coffee, great energy. No complaints there. I've visited at least 15 times at different hours, and each time my clothes smell like I worked a shift, not like I grabbed coffee. I have to go home, shower, and change before doing anything else. I'll still come back, because the place itself is that good. But from now on, it has to be my final stop of the day before going home. Ownership needs to address ventilation or airflow because this place deserves better than having a kitchen smell as a souvenir. read more

I visited Case Study, the new cafe that's been open for about 6 months, and it's a fantastic spot! I went there this morning to get some work done, and it's an excellent place for studying or working. I ordered the matcha strawberry with rosemary, and it was not only visually stunning but also incredibly delicious. The cafe's warm and inviting decor adds to its overall aesthetic appeal.

I have been visiting here regularly. The team is friendly, the coffee is delicious, and the food is good. The shop is clean and has a fun atmosphere. There is space for everyone: a quiet back area for working or studying, a sunnier front area for meeting friends, or you can grab a drink to go. Unlike other shops, the staff here is never judgmental. They are always willing to teach and learn, making the atmosphere welcoming. They roast their own coffee and are true craftsmen. read more

The coffee shop has a charming ambiance, though my drink didn't quite hit the mark--possibly my own fault. Nevertheless, the staff exuded warmth and friendliness.
