Curry Coquette
Sydney N.

Delightful place to hang out. Had the Curry Coquette, delicious savory treat, decently filling as a substantial snack. Loved my Iced Vanilla Rose Matcha Latte, adding in the vanilla and rose made it sweet enough for my preference (the original plain latte is more strong/traditional than sweet). Few couches and tables to lounge at too, nice chill vibe inside. Would recommend!

Came here today to check out the new coffee spot in town and it was such a TREAT!! I got the Miso Maple latte because I was feeling adventurous and had moderate hopes for it (because it sounded sort of weird), and it blew me out of the water! It was incredibly yummy with a lot of depth of flavor! The flavor was sweet, but not too sweet, and the espresso was really delicious. The menu was quite comprehensive - it took me a while to pick what I wanted, but when I finally figured it out it was very easy to order & I got my drink quickly. The storefront is easy to find and the inside is SO cute! I didn't get a picture but it is very aesthetic. Prices are reasonable considering the unique drinks & high quality ingredients - I will be back to try more yummy drinks!

I was around the area dying of thirst with no water in the car (bad decision) and my Yelp community helped me locate This gem in Ahwatukee foothills. I showed up to park (plenty of parking for a small plaza) and thought that they were closed because the window tinting was so dark and I couldn't see inside. Thankfully the door is unlocked. I was greeted by the barista immediately and instructed me to order on the device. The menu was clear and the ordering process was simple. I ended up ordering the yuzu mango sparkling Fresca. I took my first sip and I cool down immediately. It was a slightly bitter flavor from the matcha, but the yuzu mango flavor balanced it out. I tried not to stir it too much, but the drink got sweeter towards the bottom. P.S. - With a place painted in all black, it was surprising not stuffy in the middle of a hot AZ summer

I've made 2 attempts to go here and they were unfortunately closed (during business hours). I'm glad I went back again since I was in the area because the mango matcha was very good. My cousin ordered the black sesame hojicha and said it was one of the best drinks he has ever had. They take time making the drinks so be patient because it's worth it. Like the clean interior and will be back

Cotta Nostro is a beautifully designed coffee shop with a clean, minimalist aesthetic that immediately stands out. The atmosphere feels calm and modern, with a real attention to detail that makes the space feel polished and intentional. That said, seating is fairly limited, so it's not the best spot if you're hoping to spread out with a laptop and settle in for a few hours. It works better as a grab and go stop or a quick conversational meetup rather than a co-working hub. With only one person behind the counter when we visited, it might not be that quick but I'm hopeful they'll figure this out! The drinks are presented nicely, though the flavors don't quite live up to the high standard the space gives. Tried an espresso and matcha each and they could use a bit more depth and balance to really shine, although I'm picky and a bit spoiled from my travels. If they invest as much into their menu as they do interior design then they could quickly take a top spot for coffee in the valley.

This is a nice matcha spot in awatukee, the place inside is nice and cozy perfect for studying or doing work. The matcha took a long time to make, so if ur trying to get in quick and get out is not recommend here as I had only one person in front of me and it still took 10 min. The matcha was good overall and I'd recommend it if u want one at that part of town.

Cotta Noir Matcha Latte
Laleen K.

I love getting the Cotta Noir Matcha Latte! I have been here a couple of times during my lunches, and I love the atmosphere in this little shop. There is a couch seating in the middle and a small high chair seating area for about two people. Pretty small space, but a nice spot to grab matcha and coffee with some friends. It is right next to a pilates studio so you are a pilates & matcha fan, this place is for you! This week is their last week doing a soft opening, the current hours are from 9-2pm, I usually come on a weekday. I spoke with the owner, Patrick and he gave me some great recommendations for someone that is new to Phoenix!

Place is cool, clean, swanky. Vibes for days. Order at the kiosk and the drinks come out quick. We got a variety of matcha drinks, matcha w/oatmilk, w/mango, and with hojicha. All yummy!

Strawberry matcha and miso maple hojicha
Emily L.

Decent coffee, matcha, and hojicha cafe with lots of potential! The quality of their ingredients is definitely their superpower (have you seen how green their ceremonial-grade matcha is?). I love a good hojicha latte, and their miso maple one was pretty solid -- would have loved even more miso flavor too! The strawberry matcha was good, but I was a little thrown off that it was just strawberry milk instead of puree like in the menu description (especially since the drinks came with boba straws haha). Definitely hope they bring back puree style -- I find that more milk dulls out the matcha flavor more -- but it was still an enjoyable drink. Overall, I did appreciate the attention to detail I saw from the people crafting drinks in the back. Definitely interested in trying out their espresso drinks, as well as their classic matcha and hojicha lattes.

Miso Maple Hojicha
William T.

Great place for a morning caffeine run! One of my go to place for matcha and hojicha during my travel! Love the variety and option available.

Franchesca A.

My go to spot in the tuk for a dirty hojicha latte. Owner is the barista so patience is key. Thankful for a good authentic hojicha close to home. Hope they stick around for a long while.

They are still in their soft opening phase - hours are M-Sat 8am-2pm. I went back to try the strawberry matcha latte, and it's different from other ones I've tried in the past, which have like a strawberry jam at the bottom of the cup. Cotta Nostra's seems like they have a strawberry milk at the bottom and then matcha on top, with strawberry pieces at the top of the drink. Not my favorite I've had, but it's still good and satisfied my craving.

Maple & ash latte (activated charcoal)
Jessica C.

Cotta Nostra is the new guy in town. This little gem of a coffee shop is in the Ahwatukee/Chandler area. They're in their soft opening phase, so make sure to follow their IG page for the latest updates (they're currently opening at 8am). With beans from Pair Cupworks, you're in for a treat! I tried the Maple & Ash Latte (featuring activated charcoal, cinnamon, and gold flakes) and the Mango Matcha Latte--both were on point! Chill spot, delicious drinks, and super friendly staff. Once they get up and running I know they'll do great! Go check them out and spread the love!

Doors were locked 10 minutes before closing. What's the point of business hours, if they're not going to be adhered too?

First things first - parking. I arrived around 5:30pm to meet my boyfriend who just arrived to…read morePhoenix as visiting me (long distance). The parking lot was very busy, and hard to maneuver. This will likely deter me returning to this location in the later afternoon/evening, but I imagine parking is easier in the morning. Upon entering, I noticed lots of cozy seating and work stations as those are the most used reasons to visit a coffee shop. My boyfriend was nestled in a couch like seating with a coffee table. Definitely perfect for him waiting for me to pick him up when I finished work. He remarked about the records on the wall, and lots of the decor as it was a cutesy coffee shop. For my coffee beverage, I ordered a flat white as it's a good indicator of a decent coffee shop. Happy to report they passed the raw sugar test (put raw sugar on top and quality foam should hold up the sugar). They have great espresso and use one of the best espresso machines I've seen at coffee shops (La Marzocco). Loved the flavor and the foam was divine! Definitely return here for the coffee alone as it's worth braving the parking lot.

While in Ahwatukee, I popped by WhereUbean. The friendly neighborhood service was welcoming…read more Since it was the 12th of Feb and a couple of days before Valentine's Day I had to order the "please date me" latte. ($7.) It was delightful and distinct with the date syrup and rose water. Next time I would choose almond milk because the oatmilk (+1. ) overpowered the delicate rose notes. To my surprise, gluten free food options were available at this non chain business. A chocolate chip almond cookie, peppermint bark cheesecake and an almond cake all tempted me. I went with the almond cake and enjoyed the fresh, moist, sweet treat that was topped with toasted slivered almonds. Winner. Even though I think the tab was a tad high for a morning coffee break ($16.36) I would return. I enjoyed my time here while observing the local patrons interact neighborly with each other. The homey community vibe oozed throughout this cafe which Starbucks doesn't provide. A charming cafe that seats 35 patrons inside and approximately 18 people outside. Stop on by.
