Cons: It's a little louder than I'd like a coffee shop to be. Don't really dig the industrial space and vibe. They were playing tunes on a speaker, could have done without that, they were turned up to a level that wasn't uncomfortable to have a conversation above, but I had to be intentional about it. I asked for a recommendation on what to get, kind of hoping that he'd recommend his favorite, and it was kind of more of like a "what do you like in a coffee?", I don't know how to answer that question. For it to taste good? I think that's important. He wanted me to have like tasting notes that I enjoyed. That's layers too deep for me man. Especially before I've had coffee. I'm not a sommelier of coffee, I just drink the stuff.

I ordered the "Where's Patrick"sandwich. It had lavender goat cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, micro greens and Desert Blossom Balsamic in my requested gluten free brioche bun. Creamy, fresh, striking balsamic on a toasted bun. No gluten-free compromises here! The brioche bun from Sweet Impastries Bakery was nothing like the usual cardboard impersonators. 10/10 My oat milk latte, tasted fine but even better the next day when the home made smoked cinnamon blueberry maple syrup had time to meld. Now that was a full sentence! Who is my lunch sandwich named after? Why, Patrick O'Malley, himself. He started it all. His wine making grew into a love for coffee making. This man was born in Tucson and raised in Bisbee. Today, his coffee and tea reaches 500 Arizona cafés, restaurants, and hotels. As the founder of the International Barista & Coffee Academy and Infusion Coffee & Tea Crafters in Tempe, he teaches the art of coffee and judges competitions. I assume the eclectic interior is created from his tools and his photo collections. He's currently filming a coffee documentary that I'd absolutely love to see in the future!

I couldn't say enough about the coffee and great customer service at Shibam Coffee!…read moreDid you know Shibam is known for the oldest skyscraper city made out of mud? Super cool! I came here on a Sunday. Parking is available near the garage or street. The barista working that day was super helpful. He showed me the menu of different coffees and teas. I ordered the pistachio latte, date latte, and the Dubai chocolate cake. I adjusted the sugar content to 25% sweetness. All three items did not disappoint! I'm thought about it days after and can't wait to go back. Clean tables and inviting environment. I'll be back!

It's so cool to have a Yemeni coffee near ASU!…read more I didn't know much about Yemeni coffee and wanted to order a cold one. The staff was nice and friendly and let me know that the traditional Yemeni coffee was supposed to be hot. And glad I ordered a hot one - the coffee had a complex flavor with rich cardamom. It was definitely unique but not overwhelming at all. I also asked for less sweet and it was perfect. The coffee shop interior was clean, quiet, and welcoming. Would be a perfect spot to work and study.

Tried out this place today! I got the pandan latte with crystal boba, and it was good. There so…read moremany others I want to try! So, I'll be back! The place is tiny. It's not a place where you sit and hang out (unless I missed it). It's clean, quick service, order, pay, and go! FYI, if you want to use your card, there's 4% charge. Completely understand, since the CC companies charge small businesses a fee. So, just make sure to bring some cash with you if you want to avoid the fee. Not a big deal.

I even mixed it at the bottom with a straw hoping there was more flavor and sweetness, but the bitterness was more intense. I apologized to the front and said I'm sorry to have to ask, but if they could remake it for something else. They wanted to know what was wrong and I explained. The lady gave me a snarky comment and said, "yeah you got Vietnamese coffee, that's what it will taste like". That's definitely not true, I've had Vietnamese coffee plenty of times and it was delicious. The gentlemen who was making the coffee was nice and said he would look into their supply. He remade my coffee for their salted caramel. It was very mild, wish the flavor had been more pronounced. But overall it wasn't a bad drink. Overall this place has become a pass for me.

The coffee was very good, they have a couple of alternatives to 2% but no nonfat milk. And some sugar free options, I had vanilla. For $5.99 I got a pretty large coffee and I was very happy with it! The waffle and crepes were both good, waffle wasn't crispy but very buttery in flavor & the fruit was fresh.

I've been coming to this coffee shop for the past three years, and it has truly become one of my…read morefavorite places in Arizona. 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.

I thought I would be trying something more sugary and cinnamon forward. The pastries look incredible and eat just as well. The croissants are picture perfect and have real layers. My mother went with the kouign annan - lemony, crisp, mouth-watering - and I got a gigantic cinnamon roll, which was somehow a balanced bite even though it was so large and draped with frosting.
