But what really makes this place special is their mission. They hire individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively invest in the community -- from vendor markets to hosting events like their upcoming 5K. You can feel that purpose woven into everything they do. We tried one of their themed drink flights (the Sweet Heart menu was adorable -- Love Potion, Love Struck, To The Moon & Back... so cute). The presentation in the little mason jars was fun and picture-worthy. Flavor-wise, they leaned sweeter than my personal preference, but still enjoyable and perfect if you love flavored lattes. They offer plenty of milk options, including non-dairy, which I appreciate. Bakery - vegan and gluten-free options clearly labeled. I grabbed the lemon scone (vegan + GF). It was good! I'm personally more of a vegan-but-not-gluten-free girl, so texture-wise it's not something I'd specifically crave again -- but I absolutely appreciate that they create inclusive options. My friend had the cinnamon roll and was happy. They also have a small retail section with mugs, shirts, local honey, and little gift items, which adds to the community feel. Overall, this isn't a hyper-trendy, third-wave coffee aesthetic spot -- it's something better. It's purpose-driven, inclusive, and clearly loved by the neighborhood. Not a five-star flavor experience for me personally, but an easy four stars for what they stand for and the impact they're making.

Based on their Instagram it seems like they have quite a few seasonal drinks but when I went it didn't seem like there were any seasonal drinks available.

I had to review their menu online which wasn't a big deal but a small change would help when trying to decide what to order! Honey cinnamon vanilla latte was strong and it wasn't my favorite coffee. Not sure what was going on but it was bitter and wasn't very creamy. I would be back but I would probably order something different since I didn't love what I got.

The shop itself it super cute and really pink. There are cute items you can buy next to the window and there are 2 sets of tables and chairs with a tent over the seating. The barista/cashier was really nice and provided quick and helpful customer service. The drinks were really fun and there was a lot to choose from. They do offer non-dairy options and sugar-free. Originally we did go for the coffee flights mentioned in some yelp posts and on tiktok, undortunately they do not offer the coffee flights anymore. Instead we got the mint chip and the flower child. The Mint Chip was really minty but not too sweet, the drink was well balanced and easy to drink. The flower child was extremely aesthetically pleasing, the drink had nice floral tones with some sweetness but not too sweet. Overall both of these drinks were delicious and had a balanced flavor. I am excited to come back and try more of their fun concoctions.

Today I walked in and was greeted by Chey. (Hopefully spelled it right) She was so friendly and we got to talk quite a bit. She stated the shop's been here for about a year . I don't know how I missed it, but I'll be back often now that I know. I told her my love of cold brew and she offered me a sample of both their regular and Nitro. She said the Nitro has said to be liked more by their customers. I agree. It was so smooth. The regular had a tiny acidity to it, but not bad. Her customer service was awesome. I ordered one with vanilla cold foam and a tad sf vanilla. They only offer one size in drinks. I also went opposite of my usual and ordered a French Toast shaken espresso iced. It's one of theocmost popular. You only live once and I know I'll be amped all day ha ha. I then ordered an iced vanilla chai to take to my niece. The shop is small but offers a cozy room to chill, a few seats near the register as well as a table and a few seats out front. There is a fuel lot next door to park, but also a couple paved including a handicap accessible spot. All the drinks were so good. I honestly think the shake espresso may be my new favorite drink. I never thought I'd steal away from my cold brew, but it's got me hooked already. Come show them some love. Supporting local is so important and brings so much back to the community.

The big garage door was open. It seemed fairly busy. I would say it took about six or seven minutes to get my coffee and my yummy pop tart type of pastry. I did just a regular drip coffee. It was quite smooth and tasty. I would definitely recommend. The toaster pastry was a blackberry raspberry combo and of course I got it warmed up and it was absolutely delicious. I visit Phoenix area frequently and I've seen these popped up all over. I'm so glad I was able to stop. Try it. Enjoy it and I'll definitely stop again the next time I'm in town.
