01/24/2026 Met up with a friend here to catch up over some caffeine. It was a Saturday around 10am with no line. We ordered at the kiosk / tablet on the counter. I considered getting the strawberry matcha, but got the mango matcha instead because my friend had tried it before and really liked it. I was happy with my decision, as the mango tasted very fresh. They had a few sweet and savory pastries, but I didn't try any. We sat on the comfy, cushioned chairs and chatted for nearly two hours! It's a relatively small space and can get pretty quiet at times, so I hope we weren't too loud lol. I would definitely come back here again. Note: They're not open on Sundays. We had planned to go on a Sunday a couple of weeks before, then realized that it wasn't open. read more

EVERYTHING. I've gotta do research, but the smoothness of this iced classic Hojicha Latte w/oatmilk is uncanny. I came for coffee and left w/a new favorite tea. The presentation was beautful. The latte is a smokey green tea. Shits sophisticated enough on its own but the layered nature of the drink also makes it inviting. CN's gotta dope atmosphere, so much so that I was mad that timing wouldn't permit me to sit and finish reading...it's hard to find a spot to read w/music that mellows you while still allowing you to comprehend and RETAIN what you're reading. Throw a boss barisita w/Bay-syle lofi DJ energy in the mix and you've gotta place I'll talk about and come back to.

Cozy, new-ish, matcha/coffee spot in Ahwatukee! Came the day after thanksgiving so it was a little busy. He unfortunately ran out of matcha so we were only able to order 2 but they were so good. My brother got the vanilla rose matcha and I got the mango matcha. Vanilla rose matcha was light with a very strong matcha flavor. Rose was very light and didn't taste a lot of the vanilla rose but it was still good. Mango matcha was pretty sweet. The mango puree was fresh and a great addition to the matcha. My husband got the French vanilla coffee which was also pretty good. Overall, the coffee/matcha was great quality and the staff was friendly. Super cute interior and would definitely come back when I'm in Arizona. read more

Cotta Nostra is a sleek and modern coffee shop in the Ahwatukee area. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a nice and welcoming setup. For their menu, they have a good variety of different coffee, matcha, and hojicha drinks to choose from. I ended up getting the Miso Maple Hojicha Latte and it had a unique and interesting flavor profile. All of the staff here are friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend stopping by to grab a drink if you are ever in the area! read more

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! read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

When we had all finished individually ordering, more people arrived. Instead of giving us our orders first or even starting on it (again, our first friend ordered a normal scoop first), he went ahead and started with the customers that just arrived.

There is indoor seating and the dining room is very colorful and fun! The person working was friendly and helpful too. You can make your own bowl, or pick one of the pre-made ones. I decided to make my own and added all of the toppings and chose tofu and salmon for my proteins. It was delicious!!! And, the portion size was really generous. I look forward to coming back here for more poke and boba, and highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!

The service was exceptional--friendly, kind-hearted, and attentive to every request, always with a smile. From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed.

There is truly something for everyone. If you're looking for a comfortable spot with great food, delicious drinks, and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Fusion Tea Lounge is an awesome place to study or just chill, and I'm going to miss it when I move.

If it's your first visit, the AZ Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich is an absolute must. It's perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat and packed with flavor in every bite. One of my favorite traditions is stopping by after work on Thursdays to take advantage of the $5 IPA special. 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. Highly recommended!

Made the long drive from Gilbert to see what the hype was about and let me say....that soft serve was WORTH IT! I got the swirl and it was soooooo refreshing and delicious. I have seen people comment that they were too strong (I don't see the problem or maybe some people don't really like tequila) but mine was perfect! Not strong at all. 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.

(Note: The signage is a bit small across from The Global Ambassador, but garage parking is easy). The decor is cool--loved the retro Japanese pinball machines. The Japanese French Toast was fantastic, and the complimentary Ube dessert for the birthday girl was a super nice touch! On the flip side, the Pyro Benedict missed the mark--the shredded short ribs were very dry. The Green Tea Milk Punch ($12) looked good, but lacked flavor and wasn't worth it for my friends. Watch out for fees: They auto-added a 1.5% credit card surcharge without informing us upfront. It's frustrating for a larger, modern venue to pass off merchant fees like that.

I don't believe the server knew how to handle the less than formal style of the group I was with, but they did not turn us away and provided phenomenal service. The drinks had elegant garnish, and were well made. The most complicated might have been a vodka soda, but the additional touch was nice. For a start we ordered the oysters, which was kept everyone stuck between being nice and fair, and wanting to take all for themselves. We also ordered the octupus which was very good. For my main, I had the salmom rillete. Well made and pesented - I only thought to take pictures after I ate. Our group was never rushed for the bill and we enjoyed a beautiful evening sitting on their porch. I am looking forward to going back more "prepared" and enjoying their seabass or beef bourguignon.

I chose to sit at the bar, which turned out to be the best decision. I tried the oysters, the escargot, and the burnt Madeleine dessert--each one was absolutely delicious. But the highlight of my experience was the bartender. He was young, charismatic, and made such great conversation. As a visitor, he made me feel genuinely welcome, which really elevated the entire experience. I believe his name was John C. (though for some reason I thought it was Liam!). Either way, he was fantastic. The gimlet he made incredible and expresso martini even better. I would highly recommend this restaurant--definitely sit at the bar if you can!
