Steak side
Cindy C.

Located inside terminal 4. If you have time for a meal, Chelsea's kitchen is a solid option. Service was excellent and fast. We tried their kale and quinoa salad with steak. Dressing was delicious and steak tender. The chips with guacamole were perfect and satisfying. Portion was big as well. Highly recommend if you need a good meal at sky harbor airport.

Rotisserie Chicken double veggies, no mash. Surprisingly excellent!
Kevin S.

One of the better airport restaurants I've been too. A nice respite outside of the awful usual airport food options. I had the rotisserie chicken which was as good as any rotisserie at any restaurant I've had. The veggies were fresh and sautéed well with way too much garlic. My wife had the steak tacos which was an ample portion with a fatty stack of corn tortilla's, guac, pico and a fresh kale, quinoa and grape salad. Solid. I would 100% look for Chelsea kitchen again next time we come through Phoenix airport.

Menu

Stopped in for a quick bite before my flight. Got a soda, Caesar salad and added salmon as my protein. The whole thing was over $30! Captive audience, I suppose. Not enough servers, so had to wait to place my order and really never got my water refilled. Patience is a must. Food was decent and servers are friendly enough. This is one of the few places in the airport where you can sit down for a meal before heading thru security.

Branzino and surf and turf tacos!
Eric B.

Our last night in Phoenix was also our anniversary so we wanted good food and atmosphere. We had both at Chelsea's Kitchen. The service was amazing, and the chef even came to our table with dessert! Super nice folks there. The food was worth it also. My wife had the whole Branzino fish, and I took our servers suggestion on mixing giant shrimp with the steak tacos. Those were the best corn tortillas ever. Anyway, highly recommended!

Soup
Ashley L.

This place was confidently located from where I needed to be in the airport. I wasn't too hungry so I just got fries on one occasion which were $9 which was pretty crazy and another time I got soup which was over priced as well. Wasn't a fan of the soup but I guess I shouldn't have expected much. The avocado in The soup was good though but there was pretty much no chicken in it which was disappointing. Also got what were advertised as mimosas here with me girls and turns out the were small premixed drinks that were overpriced at $20 a piece. And our server was almost non existent. I'd suggest a different option for anyone thinking about it as a first. If you enjoy lots of people around (it IS an airport), then it's okay. Nice crowd.

I've been coming to Chelsea's Kitchen at the phoenix airport for 11 years... it's always been the only airport meal that's not just "fair" but delicious. When I landed this evening, I took the SkyTrain to terminal 4 just to eat here before going to my hotel. The ambiance is nice and the staff is exceptional. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing, but tonight the food wasn't as amazing as I remembered it to be. I had the short rib tacos, and granted I ate my whole plate and felt satisfied, I don't think they merited the description "award winning" like the menu says. Check out the picture- it doesn't really look like short ribs and the flavor was moderate. Sadly, they also don't have their amazing chocolate chip cookies with sea salt anymore. I still think this is the best airport restaurant I've been to, but perhaps not as exceptional as I once believed. I'll try again and see if this was a one off.

Steak tacos
Tamara E.

This was a food gem right before TSA security that I can't wait to enjoy again! The restaurant was large with plenty of seating options. I sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and made sure I was taken care of and my food allergies were completely taken care of by the kitchen. To drink, I had the prickly pear margarita. This was addictively good! It was refreshing and well balanced. For my main meal I had the steak tacos. These were suggested by the bartender. I am allergic to onions and the kitchen and bartender made sure that my food didn't come in contact with onions and modified my dish not to include them without loosing flavor. Even though the steak tacos were cooked beautifully and seasoned just right, my favorite part of the dish was the kale slaw. It was so flavorful, complex, and just so delicious. For dessert I had to try the artisan gelato. I had pistachio which was so flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be going out of my way to eat here again.

Brussels sprout salad
Richard W.

Chic airport sit down joint with a variety menu and lots of space. They have a big bar and also a take out space for quick bites. Depending on the time of day, it could be very crowded, but we were seated promptly and it was pretty empty. Service was great, no issues. My brussel sprout salad was absolutely delicious even though the inner child in me couldn't help but go ewwwww brussel sprouts. My dad got the fish tacos. They were the build your own style plate and they looked delicious. We definitely recommend this place if you have some time to kill and want somewhat of a relaxing meal away from the hustle and bustle of the harbor in the sky.

Rotisserie chicken dinner
Preston Z.

The best airport meal I have ever had, and the service was real good too. I had the rotisserie chicken. Check out your picture.

Ethan's Vegetarian Taco platter: guacamole + pico de gallo + sauteed vegetables
Craig G.

Chelsea's Kitchen was a pleasant surprise at Sky Harbor. Landing a couple hours too early to check into my Airbnb and looking for a quick bite to eat, I hopped the air train to Terminal 4 (nothing in Terminal 3 outside of security) and found Chelsea's Kitchen. Offering up a pretty simple menu of American and vaguely Southwestern food, it seems to be a popular spot for travellers in the terminal. I sat down and did an order of Ethan's Vegetarian Tacos: three corn tortillas with guacamole, pico de gallo, kale slaw, and sauteed vegetables. The guac and pico were on point, and better than most I've found in my few trips to Phoenix. The vegetable mix was...perplexing: zucchini, red pepper, mushroom, grapes, and quinoa. Somehow, the flavours worked well together. It's about as pricey as any other sit down fare you'll find at Sky Harbor, but it made for a satisfying lunch

Cheeseburger and fries.
Donn O.

Oasis in the middle of the hustle bustle of the airport. This location does not disappoint. Modern decor, prompt service and the food was on point. We had two burgers and a chicken sandwich with a side of chips and guacamole. Price was little higher than most places but it was expected being at the airport. Burgers were juicy and tasty. Side Caesar was plain but the croutons tasted great.

We later found out the server changed the final amount to $82, which means she gave herself 42% tip, which is ridiculous.

***IF THE BUSINESS ONWER SEE THIS REVIEW, PLEASE REPLY *** So we went to this place on 2025/03/31, the food was not bad, but I have to make a SERIOUS COMPLAINT to a server here!!! This server CHANGED THE TIP AMOUNT after we left! This server ADDED EXTRA $20 to the final amount. It's a really serious thing, there is no difference between changing the tip amount and stealing money from customer's wallet, it's basically crime... We tried to call the restaurant to resolve this issue, but the line was busy and nobody answered the phone, and the voice mail was full so we couldn't leave any message to the managers, which is even more unpleasant. Here I want to tell the business owner, the managers, and other customers that you folks need to be careful with this server's integrity and honesty, this is probably not the first time that she (or maybe someone else in the restaurant) did this secretly behind customers' back. This is really wrong behavior... ***IF THE BUSINESS ONWER SEE THIS REVIEW, PLEASE REPLY ***

The burger with bacon cheese avocado on a sweet Hawaiian bread type sesame bun and fresh cut fries with catchup and ranch.
Mary B.

Service - on a Weds afternoon, service was fast and easy! Friendly staff. No long crazy waits. Reasonable as per any normal restaurant. This is not fast food so there is a normal cooked to order type wait! Food - got the burger with cheese avocado bacon cooked to Chef reco and it was yummy. French fries were fresh cut! Pretty good. Worth the $30 with tax tip etc. Ambience - not too loud if at a table or booth you can hear one another. Bright, basic restaurant. There's no vibe here lol, just a casual semi professional type spot to grab a bite when you have a little extra time to work or for a meeting or some down time. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in this part of the airport and have time.

See all

So, when I walked into the building entrance with intentions to see an art exhibit & I was punched in the face with the intoxicating smell of coffee I HAD to try it, obviously. & they didn't disappoint. The person that took my order made some helpful & honest recommendations, which I appreciate! Considering I don't want to commit to an $8 coffee I'm not going to enjoy, no thanks. I ordered something off the seasonal menu...I think? To be honest I can't recall exactly what drink I ordered but it was iced & about $8 & I asked for light on the caramel. I had to be quick since I was meeting someone & we had limited time. Coffee came out pretty quick & it was a good choice! Great balance of flavor, not too sweet, coffee was smooth. Not too much ice either. I would definitely order again. The space was cool too, lots of natural light, lots of people working. It is located inside of a giant brick building shared with other spaces, parking is limited unless you have handicap parking then no worries there. They also have reserve spots for Coffee Drunk although limited. Or street parking. Now I'll definitely have to check out the LB location!!

Let me start off by saying my coffee latte was excellent.. 5/5. I ordered the Sweet Treat latte and it was delicious but sadly I won't be back. I walked in and sat at a bar where the barista was making drinks. I watched as she made drinks, cleaned, did everything except greet or acknowledge me! After giving it some time, I said to her excuse me do you have a menu and she goes menu is over there. I then responded it would have been nice if you said something to me and she responded oh the bar is closed to that I responded well this is my first time here and I didn't know that but maybe if you would have said something to me. Anyway, I clearly was irritated and if I didn't have the passport for the free drink, I would have left. I had every intention of buying a pastry or something else and sitting in the shop and enjoying my morning but she rubbed me the wrong way! How hard is it to welcome someone, ask if they need help instead of ME having to get her attention when the place was empty. I wish I got her name. I found her rude and won't be returning. Save your money! Support local businesses that are welcoming.

The first time I ordered it unsweetened was accidental, but trying it without sweetener or flavor was what made me realize that their matcha may be the best I've ever had. I've also had their Mas matcha latte and it is also absolutely delicious and simple and still allows me to taste the matcha through the vanilla and sweetness. I've been to other places that serve Kettl matcha, but none have tasted nearly as rich as Futuro's. The atmosphere itself is true to its name. It is futuristic, simple, and beautiful. It is full of unique art pieces of all types, and they sell their coffees and teas as well. I feel at peace inside and they always have vibey music playing at a perfect volume and incense lit. The service itself is one of a kind and makes me feel like I'm at a 5-star restaurant. They bring your items out on a beautiful tray and will always serve your drink with a cup of water on the side if you order it for here. They will even package your food up for you, which I would never expect from a coffee shop. It can be busy at times with a bit of a wait because the drinks are all made one at a time, but it's always worth the wait. The place isn't very big but has plenty of seating given the space. For working from home, they do have wifi but limited outlets. Their pastries served from a local bakery are also delicious.

I'm currently hooked on the Cafe de Olla, a gorgeous blend of sugar and spice that's topped with a star anise pod that enhances the aroma with every sip. But virtually every menu item -- honorable mention to the Cajeta -- is balanced and well crafted. The baristas are all very knowledgeable about their teas, as well. I've recently been SO hooked by their semi-new weekend pastry artist, Ghita, who crafts such unique desserts. Most recently, I tried their absolutely FIRE black sesame craquelin with a mildly sweet tahini cream. The rhubarb cream pastry was also gorgeous and creative. Futuro as a space is intentionally designed as well, with plenty of seating on both sides, boutique goods for sale, and great reads. It's the perfect place to read a book and chill on weekends. And the staff, even when busy, seem to always perfectly serve each order and efficiently clear out plates. Officially my favorite coffee shop 1000% now.

Apparently the shop sources coffees and teas from local businesses. For example, coffees = Infusion Coffee Roasters in Tempe, loose leaf teas and chai = Maya Tea Company in Tucson, kombucha = Milly Moon Kombucha in Phoenix, and breakfast burritos = Lua Lua Catering. [Parking]: Mostly metered parking and I ended up parking few blocks away from the shop (plenty of metered parking spots near the intersection of E McKinley St & N 5th St). [Atmosphere]: Inside of this historic house, the wall features the work of local artists. The shop also has a cute outdoor patio area with tables. [Menu]: Apparently Matcha Latte is one of the more popular drinks here. The shop offers 12 black tea options, 9 green tea options, 8 herbal tea options, 4 white tea options, and 3 oolong tea options. *** Matcha Latte (16 oz, iced - $6.25): I was surprised that my drink was sugar free by default and I probably say yes when the staff had asked about adding sweetener. The drink was not as creamy as I thought and it was honestly a fairly mediocre drink. The drink also came with a paper straw. *** A great spot for a casual 1st date due to great vibe, but matcha latte just didn't hit the spot.
