My daughter and I walked up to the counter ready to order, and I knew I wanted a mocha--but I wasn't completely sure. Hunter stepped right up to the register, already fired up and ready to help. I asked him, "Do you think I want a mocha?" and without hesitation he said yes! We both laughed, and then he suggested adding vanilla, which had me completely sold. Then he started talking to my daughter about a couple of other drink options, and wow--he had me reconsidering my whole order! My daughter reminded me that I don't like prickly pear, but Hunter kindly let me sample it anyway. Sure enough, I still didn't like it--but he made it sound so delicious and refreshing that I almost believed I would! We left already planning our next visit just to see Hunter again. If you get the chance to have an encounter with him, take it! He truly knows the products and how to market them. And most importantly--the drinks were excellent!!!

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.

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.

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.

Among my friends I'm known as the coffee guy and the baker, and not only is their coffee excellent but they've got unbelievably good gluten free and vegan pastries. I'm not gf or vegan and yet I get those pastry options regularly because they are so good. The folks that work there are so friendly, after just two visits they were already treating me like a regular. The shop is inviting, cozy, and built for you to spend time there. They aim to build community and they are very forward with their beliefs, so you know the folks there are going to have the same values as you. Happy Pride! Love you Brick Road.

Parking is available in the lot or along Apache street. Nomad Boba is a tiny shop but the inside is cute and has some loungy couches to wait for your drinks. The menu at Nomad was more unique than most boba places I've frequented with some interesting combinations. That led me to the blueberry matcha latte. The flavor combination was fantastic and very well balanced. The boba itself was a nice texture and it was FRESH. Everyone in my party really enjoyed their drinks. I will be back for sure.

When we walked in, we were greeted immediately. The shop itself is small, but it's aesthetically decorated with lots of greenery. We ordered the coconut matcha and the salted caramel matcha, and both were so delicious. I did notice they were hand whisking all of their matchas as orders came in, which is why their drinks taste amazing! This place easily became one of my top favorite places for matcha around the area. I will be happily coming back soon :)

The waffle and crepes were both good, waffle wasn't crispy but very buttery in flavor & the fruit was fresh.
