I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, the coffee I took home seemed to be so over roasted, it was bitter and seemed to have an aftertaste of what I could imagine licking an ashtray would be like. I love dark roasts, but this was something I have never experienced. Almost $20 in the garbage. read more

This is a very small shop all the way in the back corner of a small plaza. As the name implies, they serve up coffee along with other food items such as breakfast burritos, croissant sandwiches, and calzones. Oddly enough, the way this place looks is different from the pictures of the past. It definitely has that small business type of feel with inventory out in the public area, no sign boards showing the menu, and various inventory on the tables. They do have a written menu at least. The prices are good and the taste of the food are unique. I got their huge breakfast burrito and a croissant BLT. My order was taking so long that the owner gave me a free coffee which was quite delicious. read more

I really wanted to love this place. Cute decor with the nautical theme. Sadly, not a very warm welcome when we walked in. The girl at the counter was on her phone and did not make eye contact or greet us. We ordered a tea and a coffee. She wasn't unpleasant, but she made no eye contact at all as she rang our order - no smile either, she was pretty much just to the point. We got our drinks and were the only customers. She went back to her phone as we sat there with our drinks. There were a bunch of boxes in the middle of the floor on the right, in the middle of the shop. It made the place look like it was not put together and a tad bit messy. I think this is a cute place with a lot of potential. Maybe we came on a day when they just had a delivery, hence all the boxes. Maybe we came on a day when the girl at the counter did not feel like interacting. I don't know, but it sadly didn't leave me with a burning desire to return. read more

I drive by this place a lot and decided to stop in. It is now my favorite place to buy iced coffee. What I noticed is the coffee is dispensed from a refrigerated juice dispenser machine, so the coffee is very cold and when poured over ice, it doesn't melt the ice. Therefore, you have a delicious coffee drink that is sweet, but the bold coffee flavor still comes through. The barista is friendly and is an expert at making delicious coffee drinks. read more

For some reason I thought this place closed down but I'm so glad it didn't and I got to try it for the first time today! This is a cute nautical coffee shop. I like some of the antique type stuff that they have in here! I got an iced coffee with oat milk and English toffee. They charge the same for every size coffee which is awesome! I got my husband a hot caramel latte. The barista was awesome. They make their coffee strong and didn't put too much oat milk in mine so I asked for a little more and he was able to help be out. It tasted amazing! Affordable too! Would come back for sure. read more

I really tried to like this place. I went in because the reviews were good, but man it was a dump. The owner was there as well and you could just tell by the way he talked that he was an asshole. I went in thinking I'd get food, but there was no food. I was even concerned about the quality of the beans and it looked like they were ground up in something that wasn't clean in years. The place was warn down, and the owner seemed like a piece of shit. He wouldn't give me time to think about my order. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

My husband and I came in wanting to try a local coffee shop and breakfast. They advertise breakfast sandwiches and when we asked about them the owner said they don't have them anymore. This was disappointing and we had to go somewhere else after to get breakfast. There was also no menu to order from either. I did get a coffee since we were already there and the business is veteran owned and we wanted to support. However, I wanted to leave the second we walked in. There were about 5 other people in there and the majority of them were cops, and they made us feel very uncomfortable and unwanted as if we were in their space. It felt more like a club than a coffee shop. The owner was kind, but the vibe of the coffee shop was not for us. read more

I love their coffee but jeez it takes like four trips to complete each order. Who has time for that? I've ordered over 6lbs roared and ground. It takes one trip to order and pay and between three and four to recover said product. I've heard, "family emergency I don't know where your order is, to closed for holiday on Good Friday sign says open again Monday. I just wanted the order of beans that were to be ground ground. I think this would be a great place to get coffee if it didn't require multiple trips in to get said coffee and get it right. Too bad I will miss it. read more

I enjoy trying different coffee shops so I decided to stop by. I walked in and it was odd , the set up was confusing. Lol the menu is a tv which wasn't working so I didn't have anything to browse . The guy making the drinks was just like "tell me what you like and I'll see if I can make it" .. I asked for a simple white chocolate mocha and he said he was out . So I just got a vanilla latte and it wasn't great. Kinda watery. Also , he called me beautiful and I didn't appreciate it. There was like 4 grown men sitting in there (one was cop) .

Ahoy mates! Get on board with a great locally and veteran owned and operated coffee shop in north/central Phoenix located at the NW corner of 7th St. and Dunlap. Tucked away on the north end of the strip mall is this hidden gem. Lifeboat Coffee is open 6 days a week - closed on Sunday- for all your caffeine charged java needs! Today I opted for the classic 20 ounce cup of coffee and cream and reeeaally enjoyed the flavor! Not too bitter, not too strong - it was juuussst riigghhtt. Spacious seating area if you want to hang out and chat or do some work on your laptop. But I really loved their cute nautical theme and jargon that the owner uses - so fun!! Save yourself from corporate coffee takeover () and Row on over to Lifeboat Coffee and support our Local business owners! read more

Dropped in for coffee during the 9:00 am hour on a Tuesday. First noticed the (apparent) owner socializing with two customers. The owner was not drinking anything but had no mask on. Then the barista came out, with no mask or gloves, to take our order. She made them and handled them without mask or gloves, so we walked out looking at each other, wondering if we should try to sanitize the lids and cups. We decided to remove the lids, and we each took a sip at the same time, and the lattes were just awful. We spotted a trash can, tossed them, and found some hand sanitizer. read more

The store was well decorated, very bright & colorful -- and the seating was quite comfortable (the whicker seats anyway). We ordered a wide array of savory & sweets. The salad needed more dressing, a few of the savory pastries were a bit chewy (had they been out awhile, maybe?), and most of the sweets were decent.

If I could give a place 10*s, Lux has more than earned the title…read more Cool space coffee shops are definitely a thing in Phoenix lately--but Lux was the "design-genius-with-a-latte-machine" long before coffee shops were even a thing here. I've been frequenting this architectural marvel for over 10 years. While so many new shops try to mimic this vibe, none of them are Lux. Lux is King! The 11-Year Flashback: I looked back at my review from 11 years ago when I docked them a star for the "nightmare parking." Back then, I was a "to-go" only person who never envisioned myself as a laptop-hipster hanging out. Well, times change! I'm bumping them up to 5 stars now. Maybe it's the new competition nearby or my better timing, but the parking is a breeze, and I've officially embraced the "comfy chair" lifestyle. The "Cheers" Factor: What really sets this place apart is the people. After a decade of visits, it truly feels like Cheers--where everybody knows my name! Getting to know the folks behind the counter makes every visit feel like coming home. The Sip of the Night: I shifted from my usual plain Cappuccino as my target drink to include in a review to feature their Espresso Martini. I went with a Reposado base instead of the typical vodka, and it was stellar. With two full bars in addition to the coffee and pastry bar, craft drinks truly abound here! (Note: they have an amazing cappuccino too) The Comfort Classics: You cannot leave without the food. My go-to favorites? The Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese and the legendary Chocolate Chip or Red Velvet cookies. Return Factor: 100% I've been coming here for a decade, and it's still the gold standard. As I said in my review 11 years ago: "I see a book, comfy chair and cocktail in my future! Stumble home... Repeat." Still true today! #PHXCoffeeShopTour #1CupAtATime #LuxCentral #PhoenixOriginal #EspressoMartini #FlashbackReview

Coffee is spectacular no complaints here besides it being a lil expensive…read more The shop is also a great vibe feels very hidden and secluded, music is great and seating is eclectic but there's enough of it. The baristas lowkey always look at you kinda weird no matter what you order.

I love the decor and taste in design that this coffee shop offers! The moment you walk in, it's…read morecozy and the service was nice. From the display cases, the colors, the jars they sell their quick breakfast chia seed pudding in and the furniture, it's all really nice. The coffee flavors are all there. Food that people ordered looked fresh. I'd just say that my latte was sweeter than I expected. Next time, I'd have to order it less sweet.

I just discovered this gem and couldn't be happier! Latte was perfection, strong and smooth (didn't…read morereally need the third espresso shot I ordered, but still delightful). Latte art also wins me over every time. Love the ambience and spacious areas to sit, sip and chat. Had a quiche too that was tasty. The only down side is the chaotic parking, which is typical for DTPHX and adjacent neighborhoods.
