    Great small coffee shop in Tempe, Az! Tried their iced honey cinnamon latte and it was so good. They have fresh baked pastries and everything looked delicious. Kind service, clean, and not much room to sit this is more of a grab and go.

    Breakfast sandwich

    Nice, little to-go cafe! It's a very small cafe with two little stools and there are two tables outside, but it's definitely a grab and go kinda place. I got the churro cold brew and the breakfast sandwich. I liked the coffee a lot, the flavor and sweetness was perfect for me. The sandwich was just ok - the cheese was spicy for me and the English muffin was a bit tough. I'll have to come back to try a pastry as they seem to be popular. The woman working there seemed very kind.

    I'm not going to lie. I've had many danishes and this one was by far my favorite. Every bite was so fresh and tasty. It was the soft and with a slight crunchy edge. I also got a cookie butter latte that came with a biscotti cookie. I thought the hot latte was delightful and paired well with the danish. The coffee shop is very tiny so I wouldn't recommend coming with a large party if you're looking for indoor seating. The woman who took my order was also very nice! I would definitely come back if I lived here.

    I stopped by with my sister yesterday for some pastries and a drink. We walked on in and there was already a customer being helped and someone else walked in right after us. The cashier was super friendly as she welcomed us in and took our order. We ordered one berry matcha and two croissants - one pistachio and one regular. It was already later in the day - close to their closing time so a lot of pastries were already sold out for the day. Both croissants were DELICIOUS. They were flakey, buttery, and super yummy. They also had a nice little crisp to them. The matcha really wasn't our favorite as it was too bitter and we couldn't taste the flavoring. There were a few tables outside with chairs. I cant wait to be back for some more croissants!

    I thank my fellow Yelpers for guiding me here! If you find yourselves around Southern and Priest roads in Tempe and enjoy coffee and fresh pastries it would be worthwhile for you to stop here. This Johnathan Robbin's wholesale bakery opened in 2020 and has been offering unique pastries and coffees since. Be prepared to have your goodies to go or have a casual sit at one of two of their tables outside. They were sold out of their well known kouigan Amman so I went with their strawberry cream croissant for $5.75. It was fresh and soft though I wished there was a bit more of strawberry and cream filling. On the other hand their almond glazed croissant $6.75 had NO filling but did have a fantastic clear glaze topped with slivered almonds that was flakey and just delicious! Their signature latte $5 which is espresso, honey, bourbon syrup and steamed milk that usually is accompanied by whip cream but I skipped it but opted for oat milk 85 cents due to my intolerance to dairy milk. On my inaugural visits to new spots, I usually order signature items and glad I did but I preferred the pumpkin latte more-$5.25! It probably is a good thing that this business isn't around the corner from me or I'd be there many days a week-but if I'm craving fresh baked scones, cookies or croissants I know where to go!

    Great fun breakfast options

    This coffee shop definitely matches its name when it comes to it's food options, they are experiments! The shop had a lot of fun choices I got the Ham and Gruyere Croissant (delicious) and the Fig and Goat Cheese Danish (also delicious). I was extremely happy with my food, the only thing I wish was different was to have more fig on the Danish. I really love figs so that may be an iffy feedback for others. The staff are really friendly and they provide quick services. They also give great recommendations and details about the food. The building is located in an industrial area and may be tricky to find even with Google maps (mine didn't navigate correctly). So just keep that in mind when driving there. There is parking in front of the store, with reserved parking for the store. The parking lot is a little tight. If you have a bigger vehicle I would recommend parking on the street, adds less than a minute to the walk. Overall great experience and I am happy I EXPERIMENTED and tried Experiment Coffee and Pastry. I will be back!

    This is a long overdue review, but this place is truly a gem, and part of me is like why don't more people know about it! It's a small brick and mortar, open only during the weekdays, but if you have time to stop, definitely give it a shot. Kouign Amann - seriously one of the best, flakey, caramelized, lots of lamination Banana bread - reminds me of Flour Bakery's (Boston); it has a ton of walnuts, so if you're a walnut in banana bread lover, give there's a shot! Cinnamon roll - beautifully braided, not your typical cinnamon roll but lacking nothing the classic one has!

    Really enjoyed this place. My friend and I were greeted immediately as we entered, it's a small little spot in a plaza. A little tricky to find and seems a tad out of place so I hope they do well with the unconventional location. I got an iced pistachio latte that had little bits of poctachio. Very delicious, and my friend just got a hot drip coffee with cream which was very good as well. This spot does best with their pastries, we got the fig, goat cheese, and walnut pastry which was amazing, and also the 'best cookie' which is was the best cookie. The breakfast sandwich was also very delicious I'd come here again to get a box of pastries for an event because everything was delicious and fresh!

    Came here for a coffee pick me up. This is a tiny place and a one woman show! When you enter you are greeted so warmly and have a feast of pastries. I got a vanilla latte and I couldn't say no to a cheese danish. The danish was the best I've ever had. It was incredible. The vanilla latte was perfect as well, not too sweet and well balanced. I will definitely be coming back.

    Small place with a great selection of baked goods! The location is interesting - small building in the middle of an array of office parks The coffee menu is pretty standard, but my Americano was very good. Low acid and smooth. The baked goods selection looks delicious. I opted to a cinnamon roll. Was big and so good. Not super sweet either. Service was fast and friendly. Not much ambiance, small joint. N*joy!

    Experiment Coffee and Pastry is my favorite place to grab something sweet and a good coffee (when I want some caffeine). Every time I go, it just feels so welcoming and nice. You know, that spot you just instantly love? I highly recommend it! Okay, let's start with the pastries because they are everything. You absolutely have to try the Kouign-amann. It is out of this world! I don't know what kind of magic they use, but it's this perfectly buttery, flaky, caramelized treat. It's my absolute must-get, every time I walk in the door. Their fruit danishes are wonderful too. The pastry is light and crispy, and they always use the freshest fruit on top. Delicious! Of course, I visit for the sweets, but their coffee is good too. I've had one of their seasonal Iced Lattes. It wasn't too strong or too sweet, just right. You can tell they really pay attention to everything they make here. If you're looking for amazing pastries and quality coffee, you should definitely make a stop at Experiment Coffee and Pastry. You're going to love it!

    Pistachio Croissant

    I totally recommend this place for their yummy croissants! I tried the original croissant and the pistachio croissant and they were both delicious! Service was great!

    Cute little coffee shop with fresh pastries made daily! Standing room only inside -- it's pretty tight quarters, but my husband and I were happy to see a couple tables outside to sit and enjoy our treats at. I would say all stars go to the pastries! Customer service was pleasant as well. The coffee just didn't do it for me. I appreciated that the coffee wasn't bitter, but the flavor didn't stick out and the additional flavor that made my drink a specialty latte missed the mark. I ordered the maple specialty latte and you really couldn't tell that it had any maple flavor. If the coffee flavoring was more prominent, this place would be 5 stars, for sure.

I got the peach cobbler cupcake, which was almost $7, and for that price I was definitely expecting more. The texture was honestly so strange. The outside was dry and crumbly, while the inside had this really dense, gummy/doughy texture. Somehow it was dry and doughy at the same time. There were actual pieces of peach in it, but I could barely taste any peach flavor. Overall, it just didn't have much flavor at all. I'm not sure if it was specifically the flavor I chose or if it's because I'm not really used to vegan baked goods. I can definitely appreciate that they offer options for people who are vegan, have allergies, or have certain dietary restrictions and still want to satisfy their sweet tooth. But for me personally, the taste and quality just didn't justify paying almost $7 for one cupcake. The customer service didn't really help the experience either. Since it was my first time, I asked the girl at the front what their best sellers were and what she recommended. I was genuinely trying to make conversation and get some guidance on what I should try, but she wasn't very helpful or engaging. It honestly felt like I was talking to a wall. Overall, it's a cute spot and I appreciate what they offer for people with dietary restrictions, but between the price, texture, lack of flavor, and customer service, it just wasn't for me.

I opted for the Ham and cheese croissant, and the sausage croissant. Both breading was fantastic. Good flavor, airy yet crispy, just really well made. I will definitely come back for the ham and cheese croissant. The sausage croissant wasn't really for me (the bread was) it truly is a big sausage in there. It had good flavor, just isn't for me. If they could make just a plain cheese or bacon and cheese that would hit the spot lol We also got their regular cinnamon roll. The breading had a lovely sweet cinnamon flavor and the icing on top had a delicious creamy taste without being overly sweet. The odd part for us was the filling in the inside. I couldn't decide if I cared for it or not, I was almost feeling it was pushing the sweetness over just a bit so l may or may not get that again. Even tho they have seating inside, it feels more like a grab and go. You can def enjoy your item there. But I wouldn't say a spot where you can sit and catch up with a Friend or read a book. It also felt a bit too warm and stuffy so cranking down the AC a bit would help it feel more inviting especially from coming outside from the Arizona heat.
