Patio
Lexi F.

The atmosphere was very cute and relaxing. The outdoor area has umbrellas for shade and inside there is a lot of seating, some with outlets nearby. The menu is pretty limited since it isn't always a coffee shop. The chai was just okay in my opinion (taste like the concentrate you can get at the store) but my friend enjoyed her matcha. It is dog friendly too. Overall the atmosphere was great but only gave 4 stars due to the menu/drink quality. Good place to work from though!

Kinfolk iced coffee and a Sorrel bfast sammie you HAVE to try.

I've waited too long to go to their spot! First of all, their cafe and baristas are beyond welcoming. They make you feel so at home. The art and vibes are immaculate. The coffees? Delicious. I got the Kinfolk iced and it was the perfect balance of sweet and strong. I also love that they usually host Sorrel on weekends, and bless that friendship because I'll run for their breakfast sammies any day. I'll be back again and again. Thanks for holding down the neighborhood and providing a fresh and warm welcome.

Black Berry Matcha

Impulsively decided to try Harlem with a friend and I'm so glad that we did! This place was so cute inside, definitely the kind of coffee shop I'd want to come to with friends and hang out or just to get some work done. They had quite a few fun sounding drinks, but I ended up going with the Black Berry Matcha which was so good. My friend got the Kinfolk which she also thought was so good. I would both definitely recommend this place and would definitely come back!

A cute coffee pop up in a wine shop. Parking is sparse but there's lots of availability in the surrounding neighborhood. It was a steady flow of customers while I was there. I asked the staff about kinfolk vs black AF and since I wanted a hot drink, he suggested the kinfolk which did not disappoint. It came out with beautiful latte art and was the perfect temp. I also got the quiche which was good but not heated thoroughly. It got cold toward the middle. I still ate it because it was good and the staff were busy so I didn't want to bother them. For a latte and slice of quiche I paid $18. I'll be back to try the black AF drink!

Jones Iced latte

This place is the cutest coffee shop. It's inside a wine bar in the corner. It was a little hard finding it at first but when I did I was so happy to place my order. I chose the Jones iced latte which was good! The decor around the coffee shop was such a cute fun aesthetic . The customer service was good and I like how they offer parking and you don't have to street park unless the parking lot is full.

Harlem Coffee definitely knows how to stand out. Think "hipster renaissance" vibes. It's an indoor coffee cart, but they've managed to create an atmosphere that feels intentional and cool without being too pretentious. Now, onto the drinks. This is where things get a little tricky. The menu is full of adventurous, specialty flavors. They are creative, fun to order, and very "Instagrammable." The problem is... the coffee (and matcha) itself kind of disappears under all that. If you're someone who really wants to taste the espresso, you'll probably find it overpowered and should stick to basics - although our barista wasn't too helpful on that front either so we just went with what was popular instead of finding something more personal. Maybe it was an off day. The egg nog matcha latte was neat and aesthetic but leaned heavily towards "cream and spice" than "matcha," which might thrill adventurous palates but disappoint purists. Bottom line: Come here if you want to vibe and taste an idea rather than solid fundamentals

2nd time at Harlem Coffee today. It's a pop up cafe at Sauvage, and I believe they're only open during the week (Mondays- Fridays). They do make my fave coffee (honey oatmilk latte) perfectly. Great balance of the coffee, milk and honey. However, it's pretty pricey. They only have 1 size (12oz i think) and my drink was a little over $8. The place is super cute, spacious and has great natural lighting. Perfect for a little coffee shop workplace.

Harlem Coffee is fairly new and I absolutely recommend everyone give them a try! They have the best coffee concoctions, I was so impressed with my drink, and all of the different flavors poured into one little cup. I can't wait to go back and try more drinks, it was a very hard decision for me to pick only one drink. Harlem coffee has some very unique flavors in the best way possible. Some notes about the space itself, It is large for a coffee shop however, there is also a wine bar located inside. The line to order coffee was extremely long and before we left, it just got busier. The space offers multiple rooms a various sizes that include tables and chairs for larger groups and unfortunately, some really selfish customers tend to take up an entire room rather than sitting at a smaller table. I feel like some signage would be appropriate, indicating that it will be a shared space. This is now the third business that I know of and ironically, all of them have been fantastic.

Try this place out, one of the better matcha spots in Phoenix! Their matcha is hand whisked to order, we tried the Strawberry and Black Sesame. Both were good, I wish the Black Sesame flavor was stronger. It's located in a wine bar that's super cozy and has a homey feel with all the furniture and decor. ig: @cravingswithcat

If I could bottle up a dream and drink it, it would taste exactly like the coffee at Harlem. From the very first sip, it was clear--this wasn't just coffee, it was art. Deep, aromatic, bold, and beautifully complex, it's the kind of cup that stays on your mind long after it's empty. The Matcha? Ceremonial-grade and stunningly green, with an earthy richness that feels like sipping from nature itself. Every detail feels intentional, from the flavors to the vibes. The space is just as inviting; hipster, vintage, and totally eclectic. Everyone feels like family the moment you walk in. Warm, welcoming, and full of personality, Harlem is the kind of place you dream about going back to before you've even left.

harlem coffee is an absolute GEM!!! central phoenix is lucky to have such a wonderful establishment. i came here on a sunday morning, and was warmly greeted by the staff of sauvage and walked into the most beautiful community space. although quite busy, the room was packed with people tucked away in nooks either socializing, studying or reading a book. i ordered an iced matcha latte, and per the barista's recommendation i got the black sesame syrup as a sweetener. i usually am not a big fan of black sesame but i took a gamble and i am SO glad i did! the matcha was perfectly sweetened, and slightly nutty. the powder itself was clearly high quality and the oat milk helped to create a nice foam. i can tell love is poured into every aspect of this business - from the cozy branding, seasonal specialties, and the baristas' warm demeanor. i will definitely be back soon. 10000/10!

Ube Lavender Matcha
Mikaela Joy M.

Walking into this café feels like stepping into a living tribute to the Harlem Renaissance--a space where Black artistry, culture, and creativity aren't just honored, they're thriving. From the curated art on the walls to the soft hum of jazz playing in the background, every detail reflects a deep reverence for the explosion of Black expression that defined that era. The vibe is both soulful and modern, creating a space that feels like it was built to nurture conversation, creativity, and community. And the drinks? Truly something special. I fell in love with their matcha topped with ube lavender foam --one of the most unique flavor combinations I've tried. The sweet and floral notes balanced each other beautifully, and the foam added a dreamy texture that made every sip feel indulgent. They use Kettl matcha in their drinks too, so there's this rich, velvety depth with a hint of toastiness that sets it apart from the usual café matcha. They also sell cans from Kettl to make at home! Sadly, it was just a limited spring flavor--I'm seriously hoping they bring it back! I also tried their strawberry matcha- which is their limited summer flavor. I don't usually go for strawberry matchas, but it was really good! The strawberry purée was vibrant and sweet, though it leaned a little too sugary for my taste. Still, I can see it being a hit for anyone who enjoys a more dessert-like drink. What really ties it all together, though, is the people. The workers are always incredibly kind and welcoming--especially the owner, who's always chatting with customers and creating such a warm, community-driven atmosphere. And let's be honest: everyone there is just so aesthetic, it's kind of unreal. The fits? Immaculate. Every time I go, I feel like I've stepped into a beautifully curated fashion zine where everyone's effortlessly cool.

The Sicilian Baker - Espresso & sweet ricotta in dark choc pistachio shell

The Sicilian Baker

After a wonderful meal next door at The Sicilian Butcher, our waiter suggested some dessert, but…read morelittle did I know they had a whole bakery connected to the restaurant. I can't speak on the customer service as we never left our table and our waited just walked over and got what we needed. We were pretty stuffed from our massive meal, but we decided on sharing a cup of gelato just to satisfy our sweet tooth. I peeked inside as our table was right at a little walkway from the restaurant to the bakery. Gelato is just one of many things they serve here. They also have all your typical Italian desserts. Cakes like tiramisu, pastries like Italian flag cookies, cookies like Italian wedding cookies, cannolis of different varieties, and of course gelato. What was suggested to us if we wanted gelato was the hazelnut flavor. I was expecting a little cup for the 6 of us just to get a taste, but what he brought over was a massive serving. I don't know how many scoops it was or even how much we even paid, but we all got plenty with some even left behind. Now this gelato was life changing. Probably the best I've had in the states. I know it's gotta be way better in Italy, but I'll take what I can when I can. Think of a Ferrero Rocher but in gelato form. It was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a little crunch with bits of chocolate and hazelnuts. My sweet tooth was extremely satisfied after having dessert here. I have literally been thinking about that gelato since I left Phoenix. Luckily this company has locations in Texas so I will definitely be seeking out this gelato soon.

As a born and raised New Yorker, I take food very seriously... and Italian pastries even more so…read more Just before Christmas, I was traveling from New Yawk (visiting my parents) back to Phoenix to attend a family dinner at my partner's parent's home in Scottsdale. While I was still in NYC with my family on XMas eve eve, it hit me... I need to bring something besides wine everytime I go to their home. Nor a Southern dish. I wanted something unapologetically New Yaek. And what's more New Yawk than a box of classic Italian cookies? After asking a few Yelp friends where to find the best Italian cookies in Phoenix, The Sicilian Baker kept coming up. I called them last minute on Christmas Eve eve, having never been there before, totally sight unseen. First of all, their voicemail is hilarious. Truly. If you do nothing else, call just to hear it. It will instantly make you want to order something. Once I reached a real person, I explained my situation, that I wouldn't be able to come in beforehand, I needed a beautiful cookie tray for about 14-16 people, and I had a few must have preferences. Without hesitation, they said, "We got you." I was assured it would be ready when I landed on Xmas eve. Sure enough, after my partner picked me up from the airport, we headed straight to The Sicilian Baker. Parking right out front, a huge plus. As soon as you pull in, you're greeted with Frank Sinatra playing, not just inside, but even in the parking lot. It sets the tone immediately. We walked in, gave my name, and within minutes a lovely young person brought out my tray. Ten minutes later, we were on our way. Easy. Efficient. Warm service that made me actually grab a small box of cookies to drop my besties home on the way outta there. I didn't even realize at first that there's a sit down restaurant next door where you can relax and enjoy something. Great to know for next time ;) . Now, let's talk about the cookies. Yes, they are on the pricier side, but every single dollar was worth it. The tray was robust. Classic Italian pastries across the board like lobster tails, tri-colored almond cakes, cannolis, and all the favorites you hope for when you're trying to impress a room full of potential inlaws. And impress it did. The moment I walked in with that tray, it was a hit. People were already claiming which pastries they wanted, plotting what they'd take home, and hovering before dinner was even finished. There was more than enough for 16 people, grand is the only word for it, which is my style 1,000%. To this day, they're still talking about those cookies which makes me phenomenally proud (and humbled). I say this in all my reviews, "I hate almost everything. I'm discerning. I'm critical. And when something truly represents what I stand for - quality, authenticity, and heart, I will shout it from the rooftops". The Sicilian Baker delivered New York level excellence in Phoenix! Do not walk, runswiftly to this place if you need a gift, a show stopping dessert, or simply want to treat yourself. I cannot wait to go back. Highly, highly recommended.

Let's start with what they absolutely nailed, the cheesecake. This is the reason people keep coming…read moreback. It's smooth, rich without being too heavy, and the flavor actually develops as you eat it instead of just being one-note sweet. You can tell they take this part seriously. Leave it outside the fridge for an hour and watch that cheesecake melt on your tongue crystals (if you have the patience for that) Their rotating monthly flavors keeps things interesting, and you're not just stuck with the same lineup every time. Out of what I tried, the banana pudding one was easily a standout--super nostalgic, creamy, and just done right without being overly sweet. The coconut one was also up there, more subtle but still really clean and flavorful. Love me some coconut! They also have a punch card system--buy 9 slices, get the 10th free--which is a nice touch. It lowkey turns into a mission because once you've tried one flavor, you kinda want to work your way through all of them anyway. Now...the downside. The customer service just isn't great. It's not aggressive or anything, just noticeably lacking. There's not much warmth or engagement--it feels pretty transactional. For a place that clearly puts effort into their product, you'd expect at least a baseline level of hospitality, and it's just not really there. So overall, if you're going to Banhams, go for the cheesecake. The rotating flavors keep it fresh, the quality is legit, and it's definitely worth trying. Just don't expect much from the service side, and you'll enjoy it a lot more.

There's so much to choose from! I got the Dubai chocolate ice cream cup. It was amazing. It came with pistachio ice cream, milk, chocolate, ice cream, whipped cream, pistachio drizzle and chocolate drizzle absolutely delicious! My husband gone butter, pecan with brownies and whipped cream, which was very tasty as well! Honestly the ice cream was good.. But for being such a fun looking ice cream shop and for being downtown Phoenix. I expected the vibe in there to be a little bit more inviting a little bit more fun and upbeat! I mean, at least some music playing! Once the other customers left, it was just my husband and I was sitting there the employees were nowhere in sight there's no music no entertainment at all inside. and outside, you can see the hustle and bustle of the nightlife which was nice! To be honest with you going to the restroom, there was music in that hall that was inviting, and there was music in the restroom that was more inviting than the actual ice cream shop! To go in get your ice cream and leave would be great. But if you want to eat inside it's just very bland very plain and very uninviting for as cool and fun as their ice cream options are I just expected the place to be a little bit more fun going. It lacked in that area for sure, but the taste of the ice cream was delicious.

Not only was it super cute inside, but they had an entire gluten-free menu for me to choose from. Like--an actual GF wonderland. I nearly cried. The guy working the counter was ridiculously nice and let us sample basically the whole store. Unlimited samples?? Don't threaten me with a good time. We were out here tasting flavors like we were on "The Bachelor: Ice Cream Edition." Now let's talk about the 'Strawberry Frappe'.I can't even describe the flavor because my brain still short-circuits when I think about it. Just trust me--it's different, it's magical, it's what Strawberry Shortcake would drink on her day off. I wanted two flavors SO badly, but the two-scoop cup was basically the size of my head. They should let people do a mini cup with two flavors... buuuut I asked nicely (with big doe eyes) and got away with it. Hehe They also had a chalkboard wall where we could sign our names, so of course we doodled like we were famous artists. Honestly, I'm expecting MoMA to call any day now. If you're visiting downtown Phoenix,go check out this ice cream spot!! Like... run. Don't walk. I'm still dreaming about it.

Phenomenal crepes, horchata and more. This place is like a hidden little secret. They have many different delicious crepe options that are made when you order them so they are always fresh, hot and tasty. There are so many freshly made drinks to choose from Horchatas, Shakes, Lemonades in a variety of flavors that come in Mason jars you can take home. They offer catering, make cakes for you special events, host special events for the local youth. They open their doors and allow the local youth community to put on small music shows to show their support of their hard work and support their passion for their love of music. They offer painting classes and even cake decorating classes. This truly is a small hidden gem that shouldn't get passed by. If you are ever in the area stop by for a bit to eat or to enjoy a delicious drink.
