    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    The pastries and lattes are always delicious. They have a great seasonal latte menu. They are on the sweeter side so keep that in mind. Service is good. The seating is very limited so don't plan to hangout.

    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!

    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.

    Easy peasy 5 stars…read more Tempe Eats has a cool concept, there are several smaller restaurants that are setup in a food court deal, you use the QR Code to get your food. They have alcohol which seems to be sold by a different company-- Anyways chik pop is just amazing. I got the OG Sando spicy which was a perfectly fried chicken thigh in a sandwich-- they add an extra piece of chicken with it so just on portion size this place is a winner. The heat was solid and the chicken was juicy check my pic. Staff was super friendly and the Tempe Eats has someone checking on you as well. The sandwiches come with a purple Italian style dressing ( not sure what is was) that you may find off-putting so if you are sensitive to that stuff get the sauce on the side. I didn't mind it all. Sandwich comes with fries-- the place has water pitchers with lemons in it, get some water. You need to try this place! Can't wait to go back.

I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, and the portion was huge the chicken was spilling out of the bread! I was actually the only one at the table who finished the whole thing (I was hungry!). We came here for my brother's birthday and our server did a great job making him feel special. They offered him a birthday shot, but since he doesn't drink, they brought us churros for the table instead which was sweet of them. One thing to note* I wasn't expecting it to be as spicy as it was. Our server did give me a heads up but I personally loved the heat. If you're not into spicy food though, it might be a bit much.
