Cute, yet tiny, coffee shop. You won't come here to work. I imagine 5 customers can be in there comfortably at a time. Which was fine by me, I got it to go. I ordered a seasonal pumpkin latte with some kind of foam. I don't recall exactly what I had, but it was good! I'd come back for other drinks when I'm in the area.
$5.90! ~6.30 after tax ube matcha latte. Best price I've seen. Not much seating inside but the drinks are done quick. My ube matcha latte tasted like cereal milk.. was very sweet and milky. Not getting much matcha taste, I prefer a strong matcha. I might have to skip the matcha and try the coffee next time.
A great pick-me-up spot if you're in the area and looking for options between coffee and matcha! I have not been to Coffee 48 before, but have only heard good things, so when me and my coworker were nearby we had to make a stop. I ordered the matcha latte with ube cold foam, and oat milk. I really wanted to try the earl grey matcha latte, but unfortunately the earl gray is pre-mixed with 2% milk so I had to go non-dairy. The ube cold foam was actually the perfect flavor, it had the earthiness and vanilla richness that I was looking for to accent the matcha. The matcha itself on the other hand, was a little too milky for my tastes, and kind of got lost in the ube flavor. I would have loved for it to be a little stronger! There was virtually no wait when I came in, but it's definitely a small space with only 2 seats and a small table, so this is a grab-and-go kind of spot. Don't expect a work space! Overall, a good spot with lots of tasty sounding options, and I think I'll be back to try the coffee.
My friend knows how much I love coffee so she brought me to her favorite coffee shop when I visited back in August. If you're curious about the name (like I was), AZ was the 48th state to join the Union. Coffee 48 is designed for grab and go. The shop is extremely small. There's not much of a waiting area and the seating is very limited. You can place an order ahead of time for pick up. There was a steady stream of customers when we visited, but the baristas were efficient with getting drinks to customers. The menu is quite extensive. They have an array of coffee and tea beverages. I liked that the menu had photos of every drink. The beverages are very colorful and visually appealing. My friend ordered the Pandan Latte which is one of her favorites. I went with the Coconut Espresso. It was good, but very sweet! If I were to order it again, I would modify the sweetness level. I didn't make any modifications but they have unique options like crystal boba and cheese foam. With creative menu offerings, I can see why Coffee 48 is so popular!
This is a small coffee/tea shop that converted a small business rental unit into a street facing shop. We got here right when it opened and I understand it was busy but the customer service was barely acceptable. There was no hi how are or any greeting it was purely what's your order, anything else, next. They did nothing to direct the flow of traffic or tell you where to stand. The space inside is extremely small so it would've helped tremendously if they said something like "we'd appreciate if you could wait outside until your name and order is called, we appreciate your patience" but nothing along the lines of that was said. A lot of customers were confused and had the same name but obviously different orders and getting mixed up with each other's orders. The cup size is also extremely small. $6 after tax for a small cup of tea that's not even filled to the top is absolutely ridiculous. The flavor and sweetness of the drink itself was absolutely amazing, however, due to the service and price and sizing, I will not be coming back.
Gave this place another try and I am so glad I did. I stopped by with friends yesterday and we ordered three matcha's and one yogurt drink. It was super busy when we arrived and the line was out the door. We waited about 10 minutes for our drinks which was not bad considering the line. I ordered the new iced matcha latte with the ube cold foam and let me tell you, it was the bombbbbbbb. My friends ordered a strawberry matcha and a blueberry matcha and those were also delicious! The blueberry yogurt drink was also a hit. The iced matcha's are a plus here!
The blueberry yogurt drink is soo good! It was very busy when we stopped by yesterday but we didn't wait too long. Totally recommend!!
My friend and I were meeting up before a pottery class in the area and since she loves matcha we decided to try out Coffee 48! This is the smallest coffee shop I've seen, so be prepared to take your drink and go! There was a pretty decent sized drink menu with coffee and matcha. I opted for the blueberry matcha with almond milk and it was pretty good! I wish there was a tiny bit more blueberry syrup or flavor but it was good! I would come back and try something else on the menu next time too!
I was highly persuaded by my friend to try this coffee shop. She raves about it and has been in multiple times! The coffee shop is a stop and go shop. Only has 2 chairs and 2 stools to sit and wait for your drink order. I appreciate the menu is places on the outside and at the counter. It included pictures of the drinks with names but I would loved it they could include descriptions of the drink ingredients a little more. They offer "limited time only" drinks selections to spice up your day. I ordered the Tiramisu Latte and it tastes like a creamy coffee with cocoa hints. It's smooth, rich, and sweet. It is not bitter. I would be open to try their other drinks.
Favorite favorite favorite coffee shop. Since the first time I went there about 2 weeks ago, I have gone back atleast 7 times. I am going through the entire menu and have not had one bad drink yet! The space is really small and is definitely you pick up your coffee and leave. Service is quick and staff is super friendly! Favorite drink is the coconut expresso!
Small shop if you haven't been in before but cute! We came here because my husband was fed ads for them on his instagram but we are a sucker for coffee. We tried some of the new seasonal drinks, can't even remember what it was but they were so good. The girls there were super nice and efficient with the orders coming in since there were a few others before us. We wanna try more of the menu for sure!
Love this Vietnamese coffee place ! Flavors are always so unique. Their Vietnamese coffee is good and I love their earl grey latte and blue butterfly latte! Service is always nice but it is a small place where you just grab and go.
This is a super cool little coffee shop. VERY little! Don't plan to come work here- there's no seating! But as a grab and go type of coffee place, I think it's awesome. I got their earl grey iced coffee. It was delicious. They had so many cool flavors it was hard to choose! Super fast and great customer service. Will definitely be back!

Tried out this place today! I got the pandan latte with crystal boba, and it was good. There so many others I want to try! So, I'll be back! The place is tiny. It's not a place where you sit and hang out (unless I missed it). It's clean, quick service, order, pay, and go! FYI, if you want to use your card, there's 4% charge. Completely understand, since the CC companies charge small businesses a fee. So, just make sure to bring some cash with you if you want to avoid the fee. Not a big deal. read more

Stopped into coffee 48 the other day and it's not what it used to be. I opted for the Vietnamese coffee, we have loved it in the past. This go around it was bitter and unsweetened. I even mixed it at the bottom with a straw hoping there was more flavor and sweetness, but the bitterness was more intense. I apologized to the front and said I'm sorry to have to ask, but if they could remake it for something else. They wanted to know what was wrong and I explained. The lady gave me a snarky comment and said, "yeah you got Vietnamese coffee, that's what it will taste like". That's definitely not true, I've had Vietnamese coffee plenty of times and it was delicious. The gentlemen who was making the coffee was nice and said he would look into their supply. He remade my coffee for their salted caramel. It was very mild, wish the flavor had been more pronounced. But overall it wasn't a bad drink. Overall this place has become a pass for me. read more
I've been wanting to try Coffee 48 for a while now so when I found myself in the area, I couldn't pass up the chance to finally try them! My friend and I arrived early afternoon and there was no line. However, more people came after we ordered. I didn't realize there was no seating. It's basically just a counter inside a small room within a collective. It's meant for grab-and-go. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee with ube cold foam and since I was visiting a friend after, I decided to bring her a matcha. I got her a matcha with ube cold foam. The Vietnamese coffee was nice and strong and the ube cold foam was a great addition. I had a sip of my friend's ube matcha and thought it was good, too. I would probably visit often if I was closer! read more

Tried Coffee 48 for the first time and had a bit of trouble finding it- it's a very small spot located on the side opposite of Busan Mart. The café itself is tiny, with only three seats inside, so it's not really a place to sit down and study or hang out for long. That said, the drink menu is surprisingly extensive, offering a wide range of options beyond just coffee. I went with the Vietnamese latte, which was good, though I'd probably try something different next time. Heads up: there's a 4% surcharge for debit or credit card payments, so it's a good idea to bring cash. Still, always great to support a small local business--glad I got to check it out! read more

It's a small location but cute spot. I ordered the matcha latte with ube foam. It was perfectly balanced. Loved it! I would definitely come back and order it again. read more
This place doesn't have a ton of seating but is a great stop and go. Our drinks came quick but mine wasn't filled up all the way which was unfortunate since the drinks have so much ice in them. It felt like I barely got any. I ordered a strawberry yogurt which was yummy though. I also tried the tiramisu latte and that was yummy too. read more

Nice spot to stop and get a quick coffee/matcha! I decided to try their Vietnamese latte, and the sweet cream on top was so good paired with the coffee. I think the Vietnamese coffee wasn't as strong as I hoped it would be. The service is quick, I was in and out within the first five minutes. I think this is a good spot if you need something fast! read more

Fair warning- the place is addictive. Currently drinking may way trough the menu and so far the strawberry matcha and the jasmine tea with cheese froth are my favorite. The Vietnamese coffee is 10/10 as well. Service is super friendly. The place is small and the line can get long, they are working fast and efficiently so don't be discouraged. read more

3.5 Only based on the two drinks I had Strawberry matcha, I asked for extra ice, but I don't think there was any extra ice. My daughter said it was just okay. I ordered the honey lavender and I specifically asked that it not be too sweet, but it was so unfortunately I didn't enjoy it very much. Probably won't be back for these reasons read more

I've been going to new coffee shops every weekend to try out the matcha and coffee 48 has been on my list forever now. I was actually surprised when I found out where it was because I've been to Junn sushi and it's like right next to it. Anyways, to start off the shop is pretty small inside, so if you plan on coming here to study, read, or even just to relax inside, I wouldn't recommend it. For the drinks though, I definitely would. When we walked inside we were greeted and in front of you will be the menu. We did ask for recommendations because they have so many drinks to choose from. The worker there recommended the regular matcha but we wanted something more than just that, so we ordered her other 2 recommendations. I definitely want to come back and try something other than the matcha. There was a watermelon lime drink that really caught my eye, especially with this Arizona heat. For our drinks we got a blueberry matcha, strawberry matcha, and a coconut drink with like a cheese foam mixed with matcha. I was honestly caught off guard with the coconut water drink. I was expecting a coconut water with a matcha foam, like a sweet creamy foam but it was definitely not that. I'd give that drink a 5/10, it wasn't bad but I feel like that combination doesn't taste as good. The blueberry matcha was amazing, it was our first time trying a blueberry matcha and we loved it so much. The blueberry flavor is so different than anything I've tried and even when you mix the matcha, you can still taste the blueberry. The strawberry matcha was also good but it was on the sweeter side, so if you aren't really someone who loves sweet, I'd ask for less strawberry puree. As you can tell on the picture, the matcha definitely has a beautiful green color to it and you can taste the matcha flavor in the drinks. But overall I really loved the matcha from here and will definitely be back to try out other refreshing drinks they have! read more
I enjoy stopping here whenever I can. Coffee 48 is a takeout only cafe that specializes in Vietnamese coffee, lattes, teas and matcha drinks. The drinks are to-go only because Coffee 48 is a tiny shop with only a couple of chairs to sit on. The Vietnamese Coffee here is really good! I have also tried the Pandan Espresso and loved it. The drink menu is not incredibly large, but they have a nice variety of options for everyone to enjoy. They also have crystal boba as an add-in. I had a hard time finding this place when I first visited. Coffee 48 is in a little plaza area on Broadway and Dorsey in Tempe near Busan Mart. The lobby area can only hold a few people and can be a little tight. In case you didn't figure out the meaning behind their name, Arizona is the 48th state. Hence the name Coffee 48. Check out the cool world map on the wall while you are waiting. read more

We just had some of our favourite matcha's since moving to AZ! Service was friendly and everything on the menu looked amazing. Coffee 48 is a Vietnamese coffee and tea shop located in Tempe. The inside area is very small, with just one table and two chairs. Definitely more of a takeout place. Would highly recommend the matcha! read more

Yummy coffee & quick service for how small the coffee bar is! Even though it is small, the shared salon space has a lot to look around at. Would come back to try the matcha, saw so many people ordering it. read more
We finally made it to Coffee 48, and the drinks did not disappoint! This place might be a super tiny shop, so don't plan on studying or hanging out here, but you'll wanna grab these tasty and so pretty drinks to go, whether hot or iced. We tried a bunch of different drinks and I'm still swooning. The fresh Coconut Matcha Cloud was so dreamy and refreshing, the Mulberry Green Tea with cheese foam was so unique and the Vietnamese latte was a little sweet for me but otherwise really good. Seriously, obsessed with this menu! There's so many coffee and tea options that it's hard to know where to even start. But if you're into Matcha, the Blueberry Matcha is a must try. I'm already thinking about what to order next time! read more

best vietnamese coffee ever. been here a few times now, and they always make the drinks super fast. it's a to-go kind of place, so there are only seats for two. every drink is about 5.90, which beats most places, but their cups are a little smaller than average. love that they are open until 6pm. read more

So I have gone here on two occasions, and the first time I went, I tried there tiramisu latte, and their espresso was really exceptional. They do a great job with that. I am also very particular about my Matcha and found myself feeling disappointed because the photo that they advertise for their Matcha is a much more vibrant, bright green, which would indicate a better quality of Matcha. This was unfortunately not the case when I actually received the product. The Matcha was very mild and its flavor profile would be something I wouldn't go back for, but I would definitely go back for their espresso latte. The location is very tiny and it seems that the manager is usually nearby either sitting and observing the shop or he is behind the register taking orders. I like that they include cold foam on most of their lattes and appreciate that it's not an extra thing that you have to add on. The price point is within range for most other coffee shops. it would be nice if they had some pastries on hand as well. I like that this location is so close to my house and their coffee is a much better taste and quality than some thing that I would get from Starbucks. read more
