Service 10/10. Had great explanation of menu and delicious churro with vanilla ice cream.

Storefront
Melissa L.

Decided to give this spot another try. I remember trying it last year with some nutella filling and it was too overly sweet for me. Today, we were craving churros and tried their plain el grande churro and funnel churro. It was very good and hit the spot. They make their churros fresh in house and it comes out hot and crispy, soft in the inside. The funnel churro was more crispier, but I think it's because it was thinner. Service was very quick- came out within 10 minutes. There are a bunch of tables inside and outside. For the price, I would say it's definitely worth it. I will be back when I have my next sweet churro craving!!

Loop Churro with vanilla soft serve
Kelly S.

We would give this spot 10 stars if we could. We were visiting from California and was thrilled to see an entire place dedicated to one of our favorite treads. The folks behind the counter were pleasant and helpful. It was awesome to watch our churros being made. The space is clean and well lit. We enjoyed every bite of the best churros we've ever had.

Don't mind our clothing we went to Goodwill prior and all picked out each other's outfits. Dulce Churro was the perfect treat!!!

What a way to end a night with the BEST churro bites I have ever had! crunchy outside with a soft middle filled with pumpkin spice and vanilla ice cream! I had such a hard time deciding on what to get bec all the options looked incredible. the churro ice cream sandwich I'm already ready to go back to try!! Also family owned and operated, the staff was fun and helpful and poured love into their creations.

It was so good. The oil was very clean, it tasted fresh, not greasy and didn't have that bitter oily aftertaste that some churros do. Nile was very nice and walked us through the whole menu. Very affordable treat! This would make a perfect family outing after dinner or date night dessert. We will definitely be back.

Churros here are so delicious and light!! I got the four churros called the "Spaniards" and the soft serve ice cream, with 10 churros called bites all with toppings! And a large horchata for $20 Has a good seating area inside and out:)

We had just moved into the area and was looking for a sweet treat. This place did not disappoint. The churros were amazing and the options! It wasn't only good but also just a fun place. Highly recommend when you are looking for something different and a lot of fun.

Funnel Churro
Natalia R.

Food: 5/5 I ordered the funnel churro with powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar. My mom ordered a side of strawberry sauce. I did not try the sauce and will be solely reviewing the churro. The churro is fresh and delicious. It was soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside. The cinnamon sugar topping is yummy. My only qualm is that they put too much sugar. Service: 5/5 The cashier was patient as my mom and I kept debating what we wanted to order. He even suggested to get a side of strawberry sauce instead of strawberries on top. He wished us a good night as we left. Ambience: 5/5 The shop inside is cute and inviting. Overall, this place is worth a visit.

Spaniard churros and Spanish hot chocolate
Colby C.

This cafe stayed open on New Year's Eve just for us instead of closing up at around 8 pm. The churros were heavenly delicious. I highly recommend this cafe if you are in town or just a local. Jared was really nice and talked to us for a bit. They also gave us an extra free churro because they accidentally made another one.

Party tray

Got invited to a taco night and was put in charge of dessert...no pressure, right? I wanted to keep it on theme, so Dulce immediately came to mind. I ordered the party tray ($32) and caramel sauce ($7) from their site and picked it up the next day, right on time. It was a total hit and everyone was drooling over how good the churros were! Plus, the guy who helped me (I'm pretty sure he was the owner) was super nice and even told me exactly how to reheat them, which was clutch. I'll definitely be back!

Making the churros!
Ashley S.

Wow, this place was absolutely amazing. I am still dreaming about it 2 days later and cannot wait for our next visit! We happened across it and just had to give it a try and were so glad we did. The inside is so warm and welcoming from the staff to the furniture. The service was great and everything we tried was delicious. One of us had a plain grande churro, yum. Another had a Nutella filled grande churro. And then we also tried the churro fries with lemon and chocolate dips. Amazing. The kids especially loved that you could watch them making them. You have to try this place!

Drink Menu December 2023
Korina S.

Found this place on Yelp. Churros are made fresh! Nice crunch on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. Loved the churro ice cream sandwich and the Spanish hot chocolate as a dip for the churro straws. The regular hot chocolate was excellent. In a strip mall with plenty of seating. Clean and fresh aesthetic. Service is fast and friendly.

So we chose to go here on the way to accomplish some errands and well, it was disappointing. The Schtick is supposedly Turkish Style Coffee with Yemeni beans? Are they actually getting coffee beans out of Yemen right now? The menu didn't really feature Turkish Style Coffee as the forward offering. The employees were not rude or anything, but they, they were slow at making coffee. They also didn't know how to make coffee either. Pulling and espresso shot is easy, pouring a latte is not. and Moka & Co brewed a Cortado that was clearly just an espresso shot with some steamed milk glopped on top...which I've had that happen before at places that only have paper cups. BUT if you care about brewing coffee, you will pour a microfoam head in paper just as you would in ceramic. What's worse is that the coffee just tasted like dirt, if this is Yemeni coffee, it's bad. Seemed like there was potential here, but it was a waste of a morning when there are so many great coffee places in the core, we just need more of them in the East Valley. Unfortunately Moka & Co is just marketing and not a quality coffee shop.

Whatever else happened during that visit, those cookies were a VERY good introduction to the bakery. I have not actually been into Rise Up Bakery myself, so this review is based entirely on the delightful and delectable cookies I got to try. There was a sugar cookie, oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, M&M, and several others. I started by pinching off a little piece of one, then another, and then another. Before long I felt like such a little piggy because I had sampled nearly every cookie in the box. The problem was that every time I tried a new one, it was just as good, if not better, than the one before it. I kept thinking I had found my favorite, only to change my mind with the next bite. And these cookies were BIG hoggers too, probably around 6 inches across. These are not little dainty cookies you mindlessly nibble on. They have some size to them, and thankfully the flavor matches. So while I can't review the bakery itself, the atmosphere, or the service just yet, I can absolutely review the cookies. Based on those alone, Rise Up Bakery has definitely gotten my attention. Four stars for now, and mostly because I feel like I need to actually visit the bakery before handing over the fifth.

The Smashing Pumpkins latte might genuinely be one of the best pumpkin coffees I've ever had. The miso pumpkin caramel brings a beautiful balance of sweet and savory notes, complemented by their rich, bold espresso.

Definitely on the sweeter side, but it captures that buttery, almond-forward pastry flavor remarkably well. The line can get lengthy, particularly during busy hours, but the team keeps things moving and is consistently welcoming. There's also plenty of outdoor seating, which is especially lovely now that Arizona has finally remembered what patio weather is.

Stopped in on a whim while attending a family get-together at the farm down the street…read more We needed somewhere to use the restroom since the farm wasn't open just yet, and with two little ones in tow, I figured I'd make a purchase rather than simply pop in to use the facilities. I ordered an iced espresso to go, thinking I could enjoy a refreshing drink while we waited for the gates to open. Unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired.... The menu bland and uninspired, and the gentleman who took my order wasn't particularly helpful or welcoming. He seemed bothered! The venue was packed, so I'm assuming it's a trendy hangout, but between the lackluster customer service and a subpar drink, I can't say I'll be returning. I even mentioned that it was my first time there. You would think that might be an opportunity to make a great first impression and offer a little showstopper service, especially when there wasn't even anyone waiting behind me to order. Instead, it felt like a missed opportunity and like I was ordering Taco Bell!?! Let's be honest: there's a coffee shop on practically every corner, and every other one seems to have its own spin on the "retro, we're different, we're one of a kind" concept. In an industry that's already incredibly saturated, customer service is everything. The atmosphere and branding might get someone through the door, but the experience is what brings them back. I casually picked a menu item that sounded appealing without paying much attention to the price. Imagine my surprise when I later realized I'd paid almost $9 for an iced espresso with a splash of almond milk. Seriously? For that price, I expected something a little more memorable. Instead, it reminded me just how happy I am saving my money and making espresso at home! It's honestly a shame because I LOVE the name Hooligan. LOL. Kudos to whoever came up with the branding; it's fun, memorable, and has personality (unlike some of your employees). Unfortunately, the customer experience didn't live up to the name. My recommendation? Invest just as much in hiring people with personality, charisma, and genuine hospitality as you do in the concept itself. A trendy space and clever name can get attention, but friendly people and a quality product are what build loyal customers. First impressions matter- I won't be back.
