Matcha flight!
Liz C.

The matcha flight here is not just hyped, it's everything you thought it was going to be and more! Honestly thought that the matcha wasn't going to be good but was I wrong. I got the flight, of course, because why not? Everyone was raving about it. Three flavors of matcha: coconut cream, banana cream and strawberry cream. My friends also got another large matcha on the side. The service was pretty fast even with how busy it was. We found seating outside because the inside was packed and full of people. The ambiance was cute and located centrally in Phoenix, very near the airport and college. But anyway, my favorite flavor of the flight was the coconut cream. I would definitely stop by here again and try other things when in AZ because we were in a hurry for our flight home.

Matcha Flight

Not bad matcha! The space is super cute and perfect for chatting with friends or getting work done. We came in around 2:30 on a Thursday and got our drinks within 10 minutes of ordering. The service was quick and the workers were nice. We ordered a matcha flight which comes with a banana cream matcha, strawberry cream matcha, and a coconut cream matcha. The quality seemed a bit inconsistent since the strawberry one was super strong and matcha forward whereas the coconut one had little to no matcha flavor and was predominantly coconut. There were also a few clumps in the drink but that didn't affect the texture too much. My favorite was definitely the strawberry since it was the strongest. The flight came in at a little over $20 (we got oat milk) which was quite pricey because the drinks were super small (probably the size of 1.5x a normal matcha) so we paid double the price for variety lol. It is definitely a cute concept though, especially for the indecisive. Ratings Strawberry cream matcha: 4.5/5 Coconut cream matcha: 2.5/5 Banana cream matcha: 3.5/5

After being mixed it's a perfect matcha color. Really flavorful maple salt latte, without losing the taste of matcha. Baristas were very sweet and accommodating, always worth the drive.

The purple matcha was just too beautiful to not order. It's a dollar or two extra for the purple whipped topping, but heck, it's worth it! It kinda tastes like fruity pebbles. Very good! There isn't a lot of space to order and the line quickly reaches the door but there's plenty of seats once you order. I saw a lot of people working at their laptops and such! There's patio seating as well!

Matcha flight was just ok

This cute cafe is open daily and 7am-7pm Parking was ok since there was street parking available Inside was very nicely decorated, spacious, clean, and had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating Service was friendly Pricing was a little pricey so expect to pay $9 for matcha drinks and most of the food was $7-$10+. Got the Matcha Flight ($18) and it came with 3 flavors - strawberry matcha, banana cream, and coconut cream. The matcha was ok and not as rich as I was expecting since they use ceremonial matcha but it just tasted average. The drinks were a tad too sweet even after giving them a good stir. My favorite was the strawberry matcha since there were bits of strawberries and it tasted very refreshing. The banana cream was decent and had a hint of banana without being too heavy. My least favorite was the coconut cream because the coconut was very overpowering so I definitely couldn't taste the matcha. The PB Power Toast ($7) was pretty good but a little pricey since it was pretty simple and easy to make. It was basically just a slice of bread with sliced bananas and honey drizzle and cinnamon on top. It tasted pretty good and not too sweet but seemed pretty basic for the price. The Breakfast Croissant ($9.25) was delicious! The croissant was crispy and it was stuffed with two fresh eggs and ham and cheese. Definitely recommend! Overall, I thought the food was decent but the Matcha flight was definitely overpriced and nothing tok special so most likely won't recommend or reorder.

I am trying local coffee shops with my friends and I will submit. I'm having a great time doing so and Fair Trade Cafe did not disappoint! First of all aesthetically it is so cute and here I came on a Sunday and they had a DJ who played the best mix of music and created such a vibe! And sometimes when they have the DJs in the restaurant, it's too loud and overpowering the DJ here did a good job of providing music that you can vibe to, but not wear it so loud that she couldn't carry on conversations and still enjoy yourself. My friend had ordered us a coffee flight and a Matcha flight and to be honest the market plate was my favorite. I like both coffee and Matcha, but their flavors really stand out the strawberry Matcha and the banana cream. Matcha were my favorite favorites. The banana cream had such a delicious flavor and undertones to it, along with the fact that it had cold foam on top. I enjoyed it so much that I actually got a full-size cut to go. I also had a chocolate croissant which was delicious and my friend had a blueberry muffin. I tasted as it was also delicious. They were heated so they took a minute or so to come out because it was a busy day, but I do like that they do bring your treats out to you and I think the team here was super friendly and engaging and I really can't wait to return.

One of my best friend favorite matcha spot! Love the vibe here. Staff are always welcoming and nice. Matcha delicious. I feel like it's stronger than most.

Double Matcha, Coconut Cream Matcha
Christine D.

I saw this cafe a lot over social media and TikTok, so I definitely had to stop by and try. It's located right next to a free parking garage, so parking is super convenient. Right when you walk in, you can tell this is such a cute and aesthetic cafe. We got the matcha flight, which comes with a strawberry cream, coconut cream, and banana cream matcha. The drinks are about half the size of the normal size, but this was a nice option to try their different flavors. Unfortunately, I think their matchas are a bit too sweet, with their banana cream being way too sweet for me. I was a fan of the coconut cream matcha, however. I wish it was a little less sweet, but still yummy nonetheless!

Much better experience than our first visit! They had a DJ and the vibe was great. Plenty of outdoor seating and a good amount inside too. I loved the Amor Latte. The matcha, though, still isn't our favorite. We have tried the 3 matcha flight and the strawberry matcha, but it tasted more like sweet strawberry milk than matcha. Very sweet and heavy on the strawberries. They don't offer gluten-free pastries, but they do have gluten free bread for sandwiches. Service not has not been that great, it often feels like we are interrupting the staff to order. We will probably give it another try and hope it keeps improving each time because it's such a great location and coffee shop!

Phoenix coffee

I was hoping to find a cute coffee shop while visiting town, and honestly this place didn't disappoint! The inside is very aesthetic, yet fun at the same time. Ordering was quick at the front and the worker was friendly. They seem to have a lot of trendy drinks, so I decided to try a iced banana cream matcha. It was pretty good, but feels like it could've had a touch more of the banana flavor. Otherwise, worth trying! I'd like to try their matcha flight next time. For food they have pastries, burritos, bagels and sandwhiches. I got an avocado toast with a fried egg which was yummy and filling :) I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants to try

This tucked away café is a gem. I had to stop in after meeting a client in the area and I could see the line and hear the music. That's what dreamy in. Not to mention I hadn't been there before. It's a whole vibe. Very busy on the weekends flowing with coffee, laughter, and amazing aroma's coming from the kitchen. The DJ was playing the hits and plenty of space to dive into some work study if needed. It was well worth the wait. Great customer service. I'll definitely be making a trip back for that amazing looking match flight.

Secret Menu Item: Cortado
Bryan N.

Stopped in for a cortado and even though it wasn't listed, the baristas didn't hesitate. They knew exactly how to make it and handed over a perfectly balanced cup with deep espresso flavor and just the right touch of milk. Smooth, strong, and finished before I wanted it to be. We grabbed seats outside and the weather made the whole experience even better. Easy atmosphere, good energy, and plenty of space to relax without feeling rushed. It's an ideal pick for a first meet up, a low key coffee date, or a spot to open the laptop and get things done. On top of that, the pricing is solid for the quality. Downtown Phoenix coffee done right.

Matcha flight
Yu W.

I used to come here all the time before I got my own coffee machine. It gets very busy and crowded on weekends, so try to avoid peak days if you're looking for a quiet coffee break. The location is great, close to downtown Phoenix and many other activities. And get this: there's free parking! Honestly, the coffee itself was pretty average. However, I found myself obsessed with their matcha flight! It comes with three flavored matcha - coconut, banana, and strawberry. If you sit at the bar, you can even watch the barista prepare them, which makes the experience more fun.

The smoked brisket Benedict is the standout. The brisket is tender with a deep, smoky flavor. The eggs are perfectly poached, and when everything comes together on the English muffin base, it hits that rich, savory-sweet balance without feeling too heavy. The French toast is Thick-cut and caramelized on the edges, without being overly sugary. It's well-complemented by fresh fruit and just enough syrup so it doesn't turn into dessert overload too early in the day. Overall, Brunch Snob feels like a spot that knows how to do comfort brunch.

Great Group Dining Experience, But Reservations Are Highly Recommended…read more I recently visited Brunch Snob with my fitness group after our weekend session. For anyone planning a visit, please be aware that the wait times can be significant if you do not have a prior reservation. Fortunately, our large party of over 10 guests was able to utilize an indoor corner space to wait comfortably until our table was ready. Once we were seated, the service was excellent. The staff was incredibly patient and attentive while managing a table of our size.The food and beverage options were generally well-received, though there were a few minor details to note. One guest mentioned that the options for mimosa flights were somewhat limited. On the food side, my order of the Mexican Cowboy Bowl was excellent and prepared exactly as expected. While most of our group's orders were correct, one eggs Benedict arrived overcooked despite a specific request during ordering to avoid this. Given the size of our party, the guest chose to accept the dish rather than send it back. Billing Tip: For transparency, an automatic 20% gratuity was included in the final bill for our large group. I recommend double-checking your receipt to keep this in mind before adding any additional tips. Overall, it is a great brunch destination with quality dishes, but making a reservation ahead of time is highly advisable.

The reason i'm updating my review to three stars is because there is absolutely no enforcement of the 21+ rule at the adult pool.

One thing I really appreciate is how convenient they make everything. From the water dispensers to the utensils, condiments, and even to-go boxes, everything is set out and easy to grab. I also love the counter-style ordering because the food always comes out quickly, while you can still sit down and enjoy the space without feeling rushed. The outdoor seating is probably my favorite part. The entire property has such a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere and feels like somewhere you actually want to spend time rather than just grab a meal and leave. There are also so many unique gifts to browse while you're there, which makes the whole experience even better. Between Luci's, the ice cream parlor, the tavern, the shops, and all of the outdoor space, there's so much in one place. It's also a great setup for events or getting a group together. Amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, great drinks, and so much to do. Definitely one of those places I'm always happy to come back to!

CHILAQUILES UNFORTUNATELY WERE A MISS!…read more I will preface this by saying everything else was very good, so I will come again and update my review at that time. I came here for a breakfast date with a friend. They have a decent size parking lot. Upon entering, there is a great outdoor space with tons of tables, many with shade. Your order at a counter inside. I got Chilaquiles and a matcha, and my friend got a burger. Unfortunately my chilaquiles were the worse I've ever had! It seemed like store bought chips with sauce thrown on top, not fried in sauce at all. And the menu describes it as having pulled pork but these were chunks of meat. The provolone on top was a slice melted, no shredded cheese. It just didn't hit. My Mexican friend said the sauce wasn't very good either, I thought it was okay. I didn't even eat half of my meal. I will say, his burger was very delicious. Super juicy, and fries were cooked well. I thoroughly enjoyed my matcha as well. The chilaquiles were just so bad that I can't give a higher rating at this time. Since the burger was so good, I'd love to see what the other dishes taste like.
