This spot has the best Chai Latte! I came in for a "coffee" meet up with friends, and while I don't…read morepartake in the "devils wake up juice", I know I'll find a Chai in most every coffee shop, but the real question is "Will it be good or not?". The barista was telling me about the ingredients, the syrups and milks they use and when I had my chance I interrupted and said " make this one as spicy as possible, please!!" and she knew what I meant. Without skipping a beat she pulled out the cinnamon and loaded it up all while disappointedly explaining to me that the syrup they use is actually the lesser of two spiced chai syrups offered by the manufacturer and that she was sad to see the other had gone a while ago (RIP even spicier chai latte). C'est la vie; I guess, this was still one tasty chai though. Now we're chatting about the tea and vanilla creamer I use at home, but be sure you use both a packet of Stash double chai as well as one Stash red dragon - it's the mix of both that really seal the deal for an at home chai and then use some of the vanilla oat milk creamer to get that at home chai latte-esq experience. We went our separate ways after giving up our own insights into the world of chai and her handing me the drink I was there for, but I still think about that chai latte from time to time. I spent the next hour or so prattling on with friends, commenting on about how the table fit all of us comfortably and the nice interior space of monorchid was big enough to fit us all without pushing out anyone else. Well, that and the state of world politics and how of course they would all fix everything if only ... Sorry, I dozed off a bit after they went on about fixing things from their current position as "Assistant to the Regional Manager" - or something akin to that title. We smack talked eachothers mommas, but in a respectful way. We challenged each other to feats of strength, but only with our thumbs, what are we barbarians?!? We parted ways in a draw because we will always live to fight another day while sipping a tasty Chai Latte because it's definitly better than your espresso, no the espesso is better, no my refreshing juice is better than both your espresso and chai latte. Only the most engaging debates for us quite noble thinkers at this coffee house and cafe!

If you're looking for a spot to get work done that isn't home, especially in this Phoenix heat,…read morethis is definitely a great spot. The interior is huge, with lots of seating, and a decent menu of beverages and food to keep you fueled. You just have to deal with parking, which I found a paid street spot across the street. I came in on a Tuesday morning and it wasn't too busy, but a lot of the tables were taken. There was no line, and my drinks and muffin were done super quickly. Drinks and food wise, I think it's just okay personally. The matchas I have tried here tend to be on the milkier side, which isn't my personal preference, but the coffee is solid. This is a good spot to see if you're in the area, or need space to work/meet people!

Overall, this was a solid coffee shop experience with friendly staff, tasty food, and a clean space that made it easy to hang out for a bit. Inside/Outside - 4/5 The shop was clean, organized, and well maintained. Everything felt organized and efficient, which I appreciated. There was plenty of seating and a comfortable environment to enjoy coffee or get some work done. My only gripe is that the space felt a little too polished. It had more of a corporate coffee shop feel than the cozy neighborhood café vibe I typically gravitate toward. Nothing wrong with that, just a matter of personal preference. Customer Service - 4/5 The staff were nice and kind. Everyone I interacted with was welcoming, patient, and happy to answer questions. Service was quick, and I had my order in hand before long. Food & Dranks - 4/5 I ordered the Peanut Butter Shaker along with the Bacon & Egg Empanada. The Peanut Butter Shaker was smooth, refreshing, and packed with flavor. Definitely a fun twist if you're looking for something beyond your standard coffee order. Plus came with some extra protein. The Bacon & Egg Empanada was warm, flaky, and made for a great grab-and-go breakfast. Nothing overly fancy, but it hit the spot and paired well with the drink. A little small but definitely a great snax. TL;DR - Overall: 4/5 - Clean and organized coffee shop - Street parking - Peanut Butter Shaker was delicious with extra protein - Bacon & Egg Empanada made for a solid snax - Good spot to grab coffee, work, or relax - Only drawback was that it felt a bit corporate versus a cozy local coffeehouse - Would happily stop by again for a coffee and snack

Love this new coffee shop in town!…read more The moment I walked in, I got a fun Miami Cuban vibe with Latin music playing, tons of live plants, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. One of the coolest touches was that they sell plants in recycled bottleS...such a unique and creative idea! The service was incredibly friendly, and as a first-time customer, I got to try their snickerdoodle cookie. Let me just say... SO GOOD. Definitely worth ordering with your coffee. I ordered the iced café con leche, and it was amazing. Smooth, flavorful, and absolutely perfect for a hot Arizona summer day. It's always great to support a locally owned business, especially one that puts so much personality into the customer experience. I'll definitely be back!

We were greeted warmly and with a free cookie sample. Everyone was very friendly. Upstairs, the shop promotes thrifting as a way to reduce landfill waste and push back against throwaway culture. Downstairs, the cafecito serves delicious Cuban food and drinks, surrounded by local art and a spirit of connection. There is a 'Christmas Tree' in the back - at least, I called it that, but I was gently corrected: it's a place for people to voice their wishes and for visitors like me to come forward if they can make that wish come true. The whole place is welcoming, thoughtful, creative, and full of heart. I love a good coffee shop with a good mission! Metered parking outside and you know how downtown Phoenix goes when it comes to parking: it's hit or miss.

Not to mention, plenty of parking in the back, easily accessible and near the entrance. I ordered a brown sugar sage latte with oat milk. I forgot to ask for half sweet, but no need for the special order because the flavor was well balanced and not overly sweet! Well crafted flavors, I'd totally get it again. Working here was awesome too. Music was not too loud or distracting. Everyone here spoke at a respectful volume. I'm coming back next time!

Fantastic Atmosphere and Workspace in Midtown, but Mind the Peak Hours…read more My friend and I visited this cafe on a mid-week afternoon looking for a productive spot to get some remote work done, and it proved to be an excellent choice. Logistically, midtown traffic in this area is a well-known hurdle, but the dedicated parking lot located directly behind the building makes arriving by car much easier. Inside, the design and atmosphere are an absolute vibe. The mismatched furniture, abundance of indoor plants, and view of the green canopy outside provide a perfect, refreshing escape from the summer heat. The menu is varied and high-quality. I ordered a matcha latte, which was excellent and refreshing, while my friend opted for a lunch sandwich and a latte. For true coffee enthusiasts, they also sell specialty house-roasted coffee beans retail, including a Guatemalan Antigua and another select house blend. The lounge offers plenty of comfortable seating tailored for focus and productivity. While the pricing is slightly higher than your average coffee shop, the exceptional atmosphere and amenities justify the cost. One quick tip for remote workers: The environment shifts noticeably after 4:00 PM. The space can become quite loud with patrons taking phone calls or conducting 1-on-1 meetings at adjacent tables. If you plan to work through the late afternoon, I highly recommend bringing a pair of noise-canceling headphones to remain undisturbed.

The owner John was getting a fresh batch of the empanadas they sell. His Mom makes them everyday fresh! Like um yes. I of course had to try one, I got the potato one and it was warm, and tasted amazing. The atmosphere is calm and moody with low lighting. The beans are roasted by the owners father in small batches and even sold them by the bag. The bar was clean and John the owner was attending when I came. He was so nice and gave a great conversation. My stars are for my single experience and my slightly overpriced empanada. I'll be back and can give a more updated review!
