    Chai Tea and Hello Molly Matcha

    Best coffee shop in Tempe , this place ambiance was amazing and the staff was really friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Definitely will be back for more :)

    Loved finding this cool, funky coffee spot while I was briefly in town. I tried the salaried caramel latte and it was truly so delicious - decadent, sweet, caffeinated. My husband tried a simple black cold brew and he said the coffee was a good flavor. I also tried a bagel breakfast sandwich which was good; the bagel itself definitely seemed on the drier side - but with the melted cheese it wasn't much of a problem. And I love that you got to customize depending on which breakfast protein you wanted to add. Cute place and excellent coffee!

    Food and coffee were really good. Service was just okay--the woman taking our order wasn't very friendly, but it didn't come off as rude, just maybe an off day. We ordered the strawberry waffle and a sausage breakfast sandwich. The kids loved the waffle, and we both enjoyed the sandwich. The mocha cold brew with cold foam was also a great pick. Overall, really good flavor for the price.

    Had a great time here, service was wonderful and the lady taking our order explained all the drinks they can make and their specials since it was our first time. Coffee was great and made exactly as you'd hope for. It's a small shop with good seating and very well set up. Will definitely come back - from the service to the coffee, everything was wonderful!

    Great spot in Tempe. Came in for a quick coffee after mass and a snack. The girls at the front were nice and got our coffee quick. The spot is cute and small and has a cool board and here you can buy a friend coffee. The waffle taco was good, a little sweet but to be expected with Nutella and banana topped with powder sugar.

    Really nice coffee spotting Tempe! I had a latte with oatmilk. The coffee was amazing. Not bitter at all. They have a lot of different flavors you can add to your coffee or latte. There were some sugar free options as well. My boyfriend had the chai latte. It was good, but it was so so sweet. Would definitely get half sweet next time if possible. The Nutella and Banana waffle was also really good. I thought the prices were reasonable as well. The Marvel art inside is really cool and I enjoyed looking it over while I drank my coffee. There are about 5 tables inside and some outdoor seating as well. The service was excellent and our barista was friendly. Would definitely come back!

    The coffee was so good! The barista helped me pick it out, she was so nice! The art was cool to look at while I waited too! Amazing place.

    OG Granola: oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon
    Gretel Y.

    Heard great things about Happy Joe Coffee, so decided to check it out one weekday afternoon. There's limited paid street parking as well as a garage nearby, I think. The shop is cute and cozy. Loved the Marvel art on the wall! There aren't many tables, so if you're looking to work or study, it's best to arrive early to grab a spot. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was tempted to try a new-to-me drink, but decided to go with my usual, an oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon. To my surprise, they had it on the menu! They call it the "OG Granola." I also ordered a breakfast bagel sandwich, which had egg and cheese. The latte was delicious and well balanced. The sandwich came toasted and was tasty. The prices were very reasonable. I would visited again if I'm back in the area.

    A great coffee shop! We stopped in quickly for two cold brews. The barista was very kind and helpful. They have a large selection of special coffees as well. Quick service snd good coffee!

    I always enjoy checking out local coffee shops when traveling. While up in Tempe I stopped by this small locally owned coffee shop. The wall mural was rad and the coffee came out quickly despite it being a busy Saturday morning. They allow you to customize the sweetness which I always like. I got the cookie butter latte with almond milk and it was great!

    Vanilla Bean Cold Brew
    Nicole B.

    This place is a solid stop. I got a Vanilla Bean Cold Brew and their Turkey and White Cheddar sandwich on an everything bagel. The coffee was very tasty. I'm impressed. The sandwich was good as well. Next time though I'll ask if they can toast the bagel. It comes with a chipotle mayo that's pretty decent too. The baristas were friendly and quick. It's a small location with limited outdoor and indoor seating and parking that can be tricky. Definitely more of a grab and go situation. Fairly pricey, but good nonetheless.

    Katie D.

    Cute little spot right downtown! Easy parking close by. Lots of fun and seasonal options. We went with classic lattes and the coffee was very good. The baristas were kind and welcoming. We will definitely stop back

We popped in this particular Saturday morning while trouncing through the Tempe Festival of the Arts. There was a line (no surprise since it is ASU territory), but the layout of the line meant people brushing by you & getting too close. The guy who took our order was uncheerful & came across as "I don't want to be here; what do you want?" Not the best impression. We placed our order & were lucky enough to find a seat. There is a small patio on their south side; the light rail to their north. The guy who delivered our food was more friendly. The cinnamon roll was so dry, I swear it had been sitting out for a week -- and there was too much cinnamon. My sister's classic eggs benedict was unappetizing; the English muffin, too, was dry. So dry she practically needed a steak knife to cut into it. There's a Proof Bread shop just down the street. How Daily Jam can have such God-awful muffins is beyond me. The potatoes had no seasoning, she had to salt them -- and the salt & pepper shakers needed filling. My croque madame was edible, if simple. In short, there is absolutely no desire to visit Daily Jam again.

From Chicken and Waffles to the Eggs Benedicts and my grandkids pancakes were all taken down quickly with no fuss. We shared a few bites, I refilled my coffee and were out. Smoothly run, large menu, outside space and a clean bathroom is enough for me to try Daily Jam again. Last word... let's go.

While the ambience is fairly simple, the overall experience is a positive one, especially once the food arrives. I ordered the lox and bagel and was impressed by how substantial the portion was. The lox was generously layered, with a large amount of arugula on top. The arugula appeared to be lightly dressed with olive oil, which added great flavor. While it did not fully align with my personal dietary preferences, it was well executed, and I would be happy to return to see if it can be adjusted. The dirty chai was another highlight in terms of flavor. It was well spiced and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Although it was described as very hot when delivered, it arrived closer to lukewarm, but the taste itself was enjoyable. Service was efficient and attentive. The check was dropped off relatively early, which initially felt a bit quick, but our server continued to check in on us throughout the meal, creating a balanced and courteous experience. The fresh squeezed orange juice was excellent, and everything we ordered was well prepared. Parking in the area can be challenging, though the nearby parking structure behind Pedalhaus makes it more manageable. Overall, this is a reliable brunch option with strong portions, thoughtful flavors, and enough positives to make it a place I would gladly return to.

It was absolutely delicious and the best part of the dining experience. The BLTA (Bacon Lettuce Tomato Avacado) sandwich was way too heavy on the lettuce and the bread was quite hard, making it difficult to eat. It was moreso a handheld salad. Service was okay, though not especially attentive, as our water wasn't refilled. At the host stand there was some confusion when we arrived. She didnt realize we were standing there and then when my boyfriend asked a question about a menu item she didnt respond. Not sure if she was just not paying attention, the music was too loud, or didnt want to converse with us. Sort of awkward. Overall, the experience was mixed, but the butter cake French toast was delicious.
