HIDDEN GEM While on…read moremy merry way to pick up something from the print shop next door, I noticed a walk-in coffee shop. Without having huge expectations, I ordered a coffee. It was great. I went back the second time and that's where the excitement began. Instead of going in to order quickly, I took a gander around and noticed there's a whole clean, spacious, aesthetic seating area! This coffee shop is a beautiful hidden gem and I am so grateful it's in Goodyear! The coffee? 1000% better than your favorite Starbucks or Dutch Bros drink (trust me, their coffee/tea literally sparkles if your request it; and I'm not being figurative here). I didn't know I wanted my coffee to be beautiful until I came here. The choices of drinks they offer are endless--nitro, cold foam, SO many types of flavors and delicious sweeteners. Don't enjoy your coffee sweet? Cool, they'll make it "half sweet," or none at all. Go ahead and customize your drink; they're experts. The atmosphere? Spacious and calm enough to bring your work from home materials to a table in the lobby / have a friendly conversation at one of the comfortable seating arrangements. The employees? Everyone from the back of the house staff (cooks, coffee gurus, etc.) to the customer service at the front desk are obviously happy to work there; they're friendly and great at their jobs. Lastly--not that this is even required at a coffee/tea shop--but, the food is delicious. Every detail of what Enroute offers is intentional and has been carefully curated. The turkey avocado sandwich with fries is my new favorite Friday lunch treat. You can order honey mustard, ranch, or red pepper aioli dip, which is all made from scratch. You won't get frozen foods or Hidden Valley Ranch packets at this coffee/tea shop location. Only the very best. If you can't tell, I highly recommend! Thank you for the attention to detail, Enroute team. We can tell you're putting your heart into it.

We've always had a great experience here…read more It is usually a busy spot, sometimes parking can get tricky. They have a lot of space for conversation. Feels bright and welcoming. Staff has always been friendly and open to giving suggestions as their menu changes and is BIG. Check it out.

Coldwater grows, bakes, and serves its own food using local produce from its urban garden and ingredients sourced from small-scale farmers and producers to craft scratch-made meals, hand-shaped breads, and brewed drinks. They are also a worker-owned cooperative. Coldwater is housed inside a cute and cozy house. There's plenty of seating. In addition to coffee, breakfast, pastries, and more, they also sell produce and baked goods. I was greeted right away. The staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered an oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon powder as well as an eggs, herbs, and cheese bollo. I learned that a bollo is a hand-stuffed soft brioche dough filled with eggs, local meats, and seasonal ingredients. It was served warm and was delicious! My latte was also wonderful. Highly recommend checking out this great, locally-owned coffeehouse!

2/10/2026 @ 6:00 p.m…read more Black Rock Coffee Bar is a solid stop when craving something refreshing and well made. The matcha with vanilla cold foam was great -- smooth, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced. The vanilla cold foam added just the right creamy finish without overpowering the matcha. I also tried the Mint Chiller, and it was excellent -- super refreshing with a clean mint flavor that wasn't too sugary. The ambiance looks inviting and relaxing, making it a comfortable place to hang out or catch up with someone. Since it was our first time there, the employees were especially helpful in explaining the menu and offering suggestions, which we really appreciated.

She actually cares and tries to make things right when she's aware. But most of the other crew members don't care about customer service. I sat in the drive-through for 10 minutes and couldn't get anyone on the speaker. I have a dash cam so I record all my interactions. I drove up to the window to try to get someone to take my order, ask the girl if the speaker was broken, she smiled and said you just couldn't hear her, but she was talking to you. I told her I didn't hear a peep on the intercom, that I was waiting for almost 10 minutes. She reiterated herself w a smile stating that the headset was down. Problem-solving skills is clearly not this crews strongest suit. Next time go out and take your guests order. Instead of letting them wait and then giving them a poor excuse for negligence. On top of all that my drink came out looking like a gulp was taken out of it for almost 8 dollars a drink. It should be full. I tried giving them another shot because of the shift lead but because of the lack of care and bad attitudes by the majority of the crew I never again will give this store another dime.

This is the type of place you want to see stay and grow and it's so sad to hear that they're leaving due to an awful landlord. Their teas and speciality drinks were all amazing. Their cream tops are the best!! Everything is perfectly sweetened, however if you do prefer a sweeter matcha or sweeter drinks in general, I do recommend telling them. For example I usually like 75% sweet but this is considered perfect to me so take that as you will The guava matcha was so fun, I love the fruity and the matcha and that it's made with coconut water. I tried the earl gray matcha and unfortunately I have discovered I'm not an earl gray fan but I 100% see why people like it. If you love earl gray, you have to try their earl gray matcha (Tokyo Fog). It's great, I just am not a fan of earl gray unfortunately. Please give this beautiful tea house some love and support before their last day on May 30th. They have some fun events and raffles in the evening on their last day so swing by and check them out!

Been here before and the amount of donuts was just leftover pickings. Third time coming in and this time I came around 830 and they had lots of donuts. There was a line but with the two girls both taking orders it wasn't a wait. Gave me a minute to start on my selection. They were soft and flavorful and when I take them home I wonder how long they will last. I plan on have the boba drink next cause half the people there was holding one. read more

A West Valley Gem Packed with Flavor, Charm, and Plenty to Discover…read more If you've ever driven past that bright pink building on the corner of 101st and Grand Avenue in Sun City and wondered, "What's in there?" let me save you the suspense: it's the New York West Bakery, and it's absolutely worth pulling over for. In fact, I've made the hour-plus drive each way more than a dozen times just to visit. Whenever I find myself anywhere in the West Valley, this place is a mandatory stop. I've taken countless photos of my visits because there is always something new to see, taste, or admire. Under its new ownership, New York West Bakery has evolved into a wonderfully unique fusion-style café. The menu is delightfully unexpected, featuring everything from traditional breakfast favorites and homemade tamales to incredible Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches. If I can dig up some of my photos, I'll add them because these sandwiches deserve their own spotlight. The transformation isn't limited to the menu. The Interior: Spotlessly clean. During one recent visit, I watched an energetic staff member carefully mopping the floors and making sure everything looked perfect. It's obvious they take pride in the place. The Exterior: They've added a charming outdoor patio complete with colorful umbrellas, comfortable seating, and newly planted trees that will provide even more shade as they grow. It's a fantastic addition and makes for a relaxing place to enjoy a pastry and coffee. The Food: Where This Place Really Shines When New York West Bakery gets it right, they absolutely knock it out of the park. Their fruit tarts are hands-down some of the best I've had in years. They're fresh, beautiful, bursting with flavor, and surprisingly affordable for the quality you're getting. Best of all, everything is made from scratch, which shows in every bite. The newer savory menu items are also a huge win. Their Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches deliver serious value. They're enormous. Honestly, one sandwich is big enough to share and still leave you feeling satisfied... or at least leave just enough room for dessert. And speaking of dessert, I have to mention those fruit tarts one more time. They're that good. My wife Lucy absolutely loves them. In fact, "love" might be an understatement. If fruit tarts had a fan club, she'd probably be the president. New York West Bakery continues to grow and evolve, and it's exciting to watch. Between the friendly atmosphere, expanding menu, beautiful patio, and from scratch-made baked goods, it's become one of my favorite hidden gems in the Valley.
