Pastry case
Christine T.

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.

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.

Food- limited. Personally didnt care for any. Baked goods. Coffee was dirty matcha. Was mmmeh. Definitely had better. ‍ Service.. just was greeted. Order on a screen. Not much comm with worker. They were just talking amongst themselves. ‍ Ambiance- meh. Jazzy low-fi music. Blackish walls. Plain. Leather tan sofa chairs .. couple of tables for 2, counter looking out window with a couple of seats. Overall 2.5 ... i always tey new places when visiting. This wasnt me. But thanks for the caffeine...

Inside

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!

Miso Maple latte
Marisa B.

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!

Store front

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

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!

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

Kimi S.

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!

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

The decor was very upbeat, yet peaceful and comfy. Definitely a place to relax, have some coffee, and hang out! My daughter (4 years old) and I went to meet a friend here for coffee, tea, and chocolate milk (for my kiddo). Given this was our first time here, I decided to not only give their drinks a try, but also try their bakery as well. My friend, who had been here before, mentioned that their breakfast burritos were amazing! I wanted to try, but unfortunately, they were sold out. Mind you, I arrived at 8am. They must be pretty good if they sell out that quick. For my drink, I had an iced pumpkin chai. It was absolutely delicious! If you like pumpkin flavor, the flavor here definitely gave me "pumpkin pie" vibes, which I LOVE! It was so good! Along with my drink, I also had a chocolate pumpkin loaf and a zucchini loaf. My daughter absolutely LOVED the pumpkin loaf (mostly for the chocolate) lol. I, too, enjoyed the pumpkin loaf as it was very moist. They also warm it just enough for the chocolate to melt when you pull it apart. Let's not forget the "fall vibes" it brings too! The zucchini bread was very good too, but you definitely have to have a liking for zucchini bread to appreciate it! This loaf was also soft and moist, which made it taste delicious! It was also made in with nuts as well, which I think was the part my daughter really didn't like about the bread. Overall, it was good! The staff were very friendly, even though they were quite busy making drinks. This place is totally worth a try!

A solid add to The Tuke for caffeine and/or calm vibes. I read an article about Hadas in our local…read morepaper and put them on my radar. Recently I was in need of a weekday afternoon boost and decided to check them out. The menu is fairly simple- single origin Ethiopian coffee in different versions to drink, and some snacks. The owner was super nice to explain what differentiates Ethiopian coffee than others... even gave me a hot shot of espresso to take to go with my iced coffee! As someone who basically drinks one cup a day, I definitely felt the caffeine in my blood the rest of my afternoon ::insert twitchy eye::. Definitely way less bitter than my usual iced coffee... and more potent. Hadas is in a former day spa in the northwest corner shopping plaza of Elliot and 48th much closer to Cactus Jack's than 48th St. They offer wifi and chill vibes for those who want to study/work. Would be a nice spot to meetup with friends too! Hope more people check them out and keep caffeinated by them!

Pretty nice new coffee place but probably won't come back again…read more Two girls working there were super friendly. They recommended me the dirty Thai tea and I liked it. however, it almost took 20 mins to get the avocado ham toast ready. Actually I initially ordered avocado turkey toast but they did NOT have turkey. Later on I found out there were no napkins. They gave me a bunch of napkins afterwards which is very nice. Generally, I think they have the positive energy and friendly service. However, somehow I don't think they are fully ready for the business.

When I first moved here, I stopped in out of curiosity, and I still remember how genuinely kind and welcoming every employee was. As someone who was new to the area, that first impression meant a lot. Three years later, the same warm atmosphere keeps me coming back. Their hours have always worked perfectly with my schedule, giving me a comfortable place to study after work. There is plenty of seating, and best of all, lots of outlets, which has been a lifesaver for someone like me with an ancient laptop that seems to lose battery the moment I turn it on! Beyond the amazing coffee and cozy ambiance, what really sets this place apart is its commitment to the community. They regularly host events that are open to the public and even keep an event calendar posted so customers can stay informed. I've also seen them partner with organizations like Prisma HealthCare to offer free health screenings, which speaks volumes about how much they care about the people they serve. This isn't just a coffee shop. It's a place where you feel welcomed, supported, and connected. Between the wonderful employees, delicious coffee, inviting atmosphere, and genuine sense of community, it's easy to see why I've been a loyal customer for so long. Thank you for creating such a special place. You've made Arizona feel a little more like home.

There's also a lending library, which I think is for people to use during their visits to the coffee shop! There were lots of delicious looking pastries, breakfast items and drinks to choose from.

A book by a local author was also for sale and I ended up buying a copy since it looked like a good read! I will definitely be back!

Not only do they offer a crazy variety of delicious fresh pastries, drinks, sandwiches, breads, etc....they have beautifully decorated cakes that honestly are so good. I have to point out that they have one of the best tasting green tea, and they literally have the best service anyone can ask for. I don't know how she does it, but Ashley brews this green tea perfectly. While most other Paris Baguette locations have the same green tea, they honestly do not taste exactly the same (Phoenix location on Baseline/32nd St is a totally different tea). When Ashley, Kailey, Dania. Richard and Daniel work together, they emit such high, positive and fun energy. They clearly look like they have fun while dealing with so many customers (and some customers are plain mean). These PB employees are so pleasant, efficient and really are an asset to this organization. Love seeing Ashley, Kailey and Dania's smiling face as soon as you walk in, they will definitely greet you. They truly are so sweet. I watch how they connect with each customer, making everyone feel special. The manager Joy has done an excellent job in selecting this team... If you are nearby, give it a try. Ask for Ashley, Kailey or Dania, and I guarantee you will agree with me :-)

Five-star food, but only two-star service. My colleagues and I stopped in for lunch, with each of us ordering individually from the counter, as is the setup there. Unfortunately, several orders were mixed up or incorrect. Overall, it took more than 30 minutes for our meals to be served, with the food coming out one order at a time. We also had to wait while staff located and corrected several orders. The order process could certainly use improvement. While the food was excellent, the delays and mix-ups made the experience frustrating.
