I've been a longtime customer of Lightheart Coffee, originally from their OG location off Shea in Scottsdale, and I was really happy to see them open closer to me in Gilbert, not much closer but closer nonetheless. The owners are genuinely some of the sweetest and cutest couple ever. The drinks are yum every time, especially their specialty lattes which are what I usually stick with. They manage to keep things balanced and not overly sweet, which I appreciate. It can get busy, especially during peak hours, so coming early helps if you don't want to wait around. But even when it's crowded, the vibe stays pretty calm and welcoming. Also, their Instagram is worth checking out because it's funny, and creative. Check them out if you haven't already! read more

Great coffee shop located in Downtown Gilbert. I went on a Sunday and it was extremely packed and a little loud. It would be fun to stop by again on a non-busy day. There is a lot of indoor seating and a few tables outside. The baristas are super nice and great with recommendations. I was gutsy and as a non-matcha lover, I ordered the Strawberry Shortcake Matcha. I loved it! It was refreshing and the strawberry helped balance out the matcha taste, it was noticeable but not overwhelming. I would love to try some of their other fun drinks. Overall great coffee shop if you are in Downtown Gilbert! read more

I've been to the Light Heart Coffee shop in Scottsdale and enjoyed it so I was excited to hear they opened one in Gilbert. My husband and I had just finished a round of golf nearby and I was looking for caffeine and some treats. We decided to hit up Light Heart Coffee. The space has similar vibes to their Scottsdale location. I love the clean and stylish aesthetic. The staff was friendly. I ordered a raspberry pop tart and their seasonal coconut flavor, "Island Time" in a matcha. The raspberry pop tart was delicious and is from a local bakery, Suss Pastries, which I'm a fan of. I'm a sucker for homemade poptarts. However, the matcha didn't do it for me. Not sure if it was the coconut flavor or the matcha, but it didn't hit the spot. Next time, I'll stick to their coffee since I know it's good! read more

We have been to the light heart Scottsdale coffee location a few times and have really enjoyed it there. Our visit to the Gilbert spot was different. Their Gilbert café has a perfect corner location just off Gilbert Road in the downtown corridor. We visited this bright and cozy coffee shop on April 30th. I ordered the 12 oz. Rabbit Trail espresso drink ($7) because the menu mentioned homemade carrot cake syrup and walnut. Unfortunately, the carrot cake flavor was barely noticeable, and the walnut topping was missing entirely -- which was the main reason I chose the drink. My daughter ordered the Spring Fling specialty drink ($7). She could mostly taste lemon rind, while the syrup flavor itself seemed absent. With that said, the poppy seed and lemon garnish on top of the foam was very pretty. The space was pleasant enough, but for us, it lacked a memorable atmosphere or vibe that made us want to stay. While drinking our beverages, we agreed that we probably wouldn't go out of our way to return. Free parking is available either in the lot behind the building or along the street. read more

Never noticed that the cookie dough place swapped out for a coffee shop, so we tried it out. Fast, friendly service. It's really cozy inside as well. We got the nitros, mine with vanilla, hers with just stevia. They both tasted pretty close to the same, but that being said, they were both delicious and some of the better nitros I've had. Better than Starbucks at least. Unfortunately one coffee was dropped and we cried at the memorial.... But we'll be back to try again read more

This place was great! Light Heart has been on my list for a while now, and I was excited to see they were close by an appointment I had that morning! I came by on a weekday around 9am and had no problem finding street parking. There is indoor/outdoor seating and the whole place was bright and clean. I decided to try one of their seasonal specials called Rabbit Trail which had their homemade carrot cake syrup. It was delicious, and I loved the candied walnuts on the side. They offer their special drinks made with either espresso or matcha which is nice (I choose espresso). Everyone working was super friendly, and my drink came up quickly. They also had some delicious looking sweet treats that I'll have to come back and try! read more

This coffee shop is so cute! The girls working were really sweet and pretty quick for a busy Friday morning! As far as drinks and food, the pastries were SO good. Probably the highlight of the visit was their chai muffin and date pop tart looking dish. The coffee was strong but the flavor was lacking, my husbands peach coffee had no actual peach flavor to it despite the appearance. Same with the matchas my sister and I got, it looked like it would taste a lot more like the flavor than it really did. We'd still go back though! read more

I enjoyed my visit to this fairly new coffee shop to downtown Gilbert. The coffee was decent and I really enjoyed the matcha (yes, I had to try two drinks haha!). I also ordered a breakfast item. It was a scramble bowl type thing. It was very tasty, but way too expensive for the tiny cup you get. So I would not order food again, but I will definitely be back for the matcha and the atmosphere. The staff were efficient and the seating was abundant. During the cooler months there are also nice seats outside. A nice addition to the downtown scene. read more

Light Heart Coffee is one of my favorite coffee spots! The coffee is consistently delicious, the quality is excellent, and you can tell they put care into every drink. The atmosphere is bright, welcoming, and a great place to catch up with a friend or get some work done. The staff is always friendly, and the overall vibe makes you want to stay awhile. Definitely a local coffee shop worth supporting! read more

Stopped for coffee and the line was long! Probably with it being fairly new and with lots of hype surrounding it's opening. We were not able to know what was available until we got closer to the counter where the menu & specialty drinks were. The coffee selection and variety was fair. Ordered the brown sugar macadamia latte which was creamy, smooth and delicious. My daughter had one of their more popular drinks the blueberry cobbler which she really liked. Also, if you are a matcha fan this is the place for you, organic & sourced right from Japan. Food-they offer a breakfast sandwich and a burrito that have hash browns inside. Some fresh pastries are available also, but sell out early. Your best bet (to ensure you get one) is to beat the rush! The service was friendly, the atmosphere can be rushed or relaxed (depending on the day & time). Convenient spot whether choosing to sit indoors (small space) outdoors on their large patio, or even if you're just browsing around downtown. Parking can be a problem, again depending on the time of day. read more

I love Lightheart Coffee in Scottsdale was so excited to see that they opened another location in Gilbert. I love that they have a variety of housemade syrups and don't charge extra for non-dairy milk. We went in around noon on a Sunday and the line was out the door and they were out of one of their seasonal drink offerings. The staff are very professional, the drinks are delicious and not overly sweet, and there is quite a bit of seating indoors and outdoors. What a great addition to downtown Gilbert! read more

My daughter loves Light Heart and raves about it often. So when I was visiting her we headed over. The matcha is her fave so her ordered both their blueberry and a vanilla matcha. Both drinks were phenomenal. Service was great and o loved the vibe inside. Seating was great to hang out and chill or you can get your drink to go and check out some of the local shops nearby. I'll definitely be back when on this side of the valley. read more

Stopped in early on a Saturday, wasn't too busy. Good variety of matcha and coffee. We got 2 lattes (carrot cake which is seasonal and the berry cobbler). Both weren't overly sweet and really delicious! Also got a breakfast sandwich and a brekkie cup. Everything came out pretty quickly. Very cute inside, but gets a little loud. Overall I was impressed by the quality of the coffee and the food. Great location if you're going to the farmers market as well! read more

I've been to other locations but this was my second time at the Gilbert location. I think the owners are doing much better with staffing because the line wasn't wrapped around the building like it normally is and I was able to order + get a coffee in about 20 mins or so which is definitely much shorter than usual when it comes to their other locations. For the most part every single drink I have gotten here has been nothing short of amazing. If you don't like the drink they are always so helpful and willing to remake something else for you. My favorite is the berry cobbler- never in a million years did I think blueberry and coffee would go well together but it's such a perfect combo! (Even good with matcha too!) This location probably has the most seating out of all their locations- it's always so sweet to visit! The back area is perfect if you are needing to take some work calls or looking for a quiet space! There is a big public parking lot right around the corner! read more

Light Heart Coffee is a really cute shop with a great atmosphere, and the staff was very friendly. I asked for a recommendation for a matcha drink, and the barista suggested the Berry Cobbler matcha, which she said is their most popular--and it was definitely delicious. The drink was sweet, flavorful, and honestly really pretty. That said, I wasn't asked what size I wanted, so I'm assuming this was the smaller size, and for the price, it felt a bit on the expensive side. While everything seems pricey everywhere these days, the cost combined with the size is what knocked this down to four stars for me. Overall, it's still a great experience and a fun treat--especially if you love unique matcha flavors. I'd definitely come back, just hoping for a little more value for the price next time. read more

I drove 45 minutes out of my way just so I could have their coffee again! They have the most fun and unique and delicious drinks. I walked in right before closing and they were really kind to still help me! The berry cobbler latte is a must try! Even with almond milk it is so tasty and unique, amazing flavors! Each location is so adorable and cute inside too and everyone working there is so nice. The only thing I didn't like about this location is the parking was pretty difficult because it is in a busy area. read more

I'm a huge fan of the two locations in Scottsdale, so I had to check out the grand opening of the new Gilbert location. Got there early and turns out my friend and I were first in line to be the first ever customers! Once they open the doors, I ordered an apple pop tart and the black cherry cobbler specialty coffee. The coffee was absolutely delicious. The interior was on brand to their other locations. all gorgeous dark wood. I love the back seating area as it provided gorgeous, lighting and a homey feel. The decor for sale is a nice touch! The only thing that caught my eye was a lack outlets. I would love to have a spot to work for a bit, but maybe that's a strategic move for it being in a downtown location! read more

Located in downtown Gilbert, this coffee shop offers coffee, matcha, ice tea and even a breakfast Sando or burrito. We ordered the blueberry cobbler matcha and banana matcha. Starting with the banana matcha, the sweetness was on point but honestly couldn't taste the matcha. The flavor of the matcha was overpowered by the milk and banana. The same goes for the blueberry matcha, a bit too overpowering. Although I couldn't taste the matcha, the drink overall was still good. We also ordered the breakfast burrito and Sando, both were on point. No complaints, would definitely get it again! I look forward to returning and trying out their coffee. read more

So excited to try this place! The line was already long when I arrived around 11am, but it moved quickly -- and it got even longer behind me. The aesthetic is totally my style: earthy, minimal, and really calming. They also have a few small seating areas in the back. I ordered the Matcha Berry Cobbler and my husband got the Log Cabin Coffee, both half sweet. My matcha was really good -- bright green, high-quality, and not overly sweet. His coffee was great too. Overall, we were happy with our drinks and would definitely come back! read more

We came here this past Saturday very early in the morning. We ordered the Island time with espresso which can also be ordered with matcha. The coffee shop is really pretty and clean. They have ample space for customers and I think would be a good place to study. The biggest con for me is that they do not have alternative milk. I tried to drink the 2% but unfortunately just cannot do it. I am just surprised that a new coffee shop does not offer this so we will just avoid this place unfortunately. Service was good and quick. Nothing remarkable. read more

I've been to the Shea location and fell in love with the berry cobbler matcha, but it's a bit of a drive for me, so I was stoked to see Light Heart open a Gilbert location! I went on a Sunday morning, about 40 minutes after opening and the line was out the door! About 25 people or so ahead of me. Luckily it moves pretty quick, the weather was gorgeous, and their music was top choice so I didn't mind the wait. I went with their seasonal Nisu latte: vanilla, raspberry and cardamom. It was perfectly sweet, fruity, and balanced. I was hoping to snag a pastry while I was there but they were all sold out by the time I got there. Oh well, just motivation to go right at open next time! There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and this is the perfect spot for a study sesh, to catch up with the girls or just a fun morning coffee date. read more

10/10 every time and the patio is puppy approved too! (Central downtown Gilbert location!) A coconut matcha or the berry cobbler are my overall favorites (so far), but the earl grey and nisu matcha's are close in the running. The tea is of great quality and I love that they have macadamia milk--yummy! Expect a line, especially on the weekends, but it's fully worth the wait :-) read more

A coffee shop with coffees that are truly addicting with perfectly crafted flavors. Mornings around opening time are very busy but there is much less wait around midday or afternoon. So far, I have tried the Nisu and Snowbird coffees. The nisu is incredibly balanced with raspberry, cardamom, and vanilla and the snowbird is decadent with chocolate and brown butter toffee. The prices are a little bit higher for smaller coffees, but this is one of the only coffee shops I've been to where I'm sad when I've finished my drink! read more

I was so excited to try this place after hearing of the one in Scottsdale, but I rarely make it out there. When I arrived, it was very chaotic, very busy. I almost decided to go to a different coffee shop in the area. I met a friend here and managed to find a table in the back room. It was very loud because it was so busy and because they have a speaker back there that is blaring music. The coffee was just mediocre The service was meh, It's a really cute place. I am in school at the moment, and I found myself saying I would not come here to work on schoolwork. The place is really cute and you have the option to buy locally made mugs which I thought was cool, but the overall vibe was Very unorganized and chaotic. I didn't even hear them call my name and my coffee was done. read more

Light Heart Coffee - Ube latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I was super excited to try this coffee shop! I've heard good things about their Scottsdale location but never go to the side of town. I stopped by on a Sunday after church and the line was pretty long, I think it ended up taking 45 minutes just for us to order. Surprisingly the drinks didn't take too long to get made. I decided to get an iced matcha with the berry syrup, as that's the drink I've been seeing most on instagram. It ended up being just okay, nothing special. The matcha wasn't my favorite, I think the berry syrup saved it a little. We also were going to get food, but they did not have food available yet cause I think it was only the second week they'd been open. I do think I'll go back again to try another drink that's not matcha, and to try the food, but it's not on the top of my list. read more

I've been so excited to try this viral coffee shop and it did not disappoint! We came on a Sunday around 10:30am and were shocked to see the line wrapped around the building. I was ready to go home and try again another day but my husband encouraged us to wait so we did. The line moved very quickly, and we made it through in about 10 minutes. I was so conflicted with the holiday flavors, everything looked so good. I ended up going with Narnia which is made with rosemary and carmel syrup; it was incredible. The syrups are not overly sweet and balance well with the espresso. No overpowering of either flavor. It's a great spot, open air and minimalistic. Staff were very friendly. We will be back again soon! read more

I visited this coffee shop a few weeks after they opened in Gilbert and the experience was honestly mixed. The first time I went, the garage-style doors were open and the line started right there. Even though there were a decent amount of people, the line moved pretty fast, which was nice. I ordered the Log Cabin latte with an extra shot of espresso plus an everything bagel pastry. The standard is two shots, so I bumped it to three. Unfortunately, the latte was very underwhelming. It mostly tasted like milk and I could barely taste the espresso at all. The pastry, on the other hand, was delicious and definitely the highlight of that visit. A few weeks later, I went back hoping for a better experience. This time the garage doors were closed, so I went in through the regular entrance. It was insanely crowded and the line seemed to start in a completely different spot than before. I was honestly confused, overwhelmed, and kind of flustered by how packed and disorganized it felt. I ended up leaving without ordering anything. I've heard their breakfast sandwich is really good, so I'd like to try it someday. But with how confusing and chaotic the space felt on my second visit, I'm not sure when or if I'll be back. read more

Came here to work for a few hours, a Tuesday at 8am. Inside: cute decor. Plenty of seating at that time. There are power strips strategically placed, so if you need some power you can get it. Wireless password I had to ask for (not posted anywhere I could find). It quickly filled up after I got there, and never seemed to slow down. I eventually sat outside because it was got so noisy. Service: the person taking my order was super friendly and very helpful with recommendations. Coffee: I tried the Numi latte with macadamia nut milk (they were out of my normal oat milk). It was tasty, just lukewarm unfortunately. read more

The service is fine, but their Medium size is like a SB tall size and they are more expensive. The Americano tasted like it was missing an espresso shot and the $6 Latte wasn't much better. They do have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, which was nice and it's walking distance from a lot of restaurants in Old Town Gilbert. If the quality of the coffee improved, I would come back, otherwise, no thanks. read more

12/13/2025 Got here around 7:30 on Saturday morning to grab a gift card for a friend and a matcha for myself (they open at 7am except for Sundays at 10am). They were out of gift cards but said e-gift cards are available on their website (thank goodness!). I typically drink iced matcha, but today I got it hot with almond milk. "North Shore" on their specials menu has vanilla syrup, peppermint syrup, and candy cane. Not sure if candy cane is the topping because I didn't have any. The drink was still great - not too sweet, and the peppermint is not overpowering. I can definitely taste the almond milk. Also, they had pop tarts this time! Last time I came early, they were not available yet. Love these pop tarts from Süss Pastries. I got a cinnamon apple and blueberry lime for my sister because I've raved about them a lot and she needs to try them. Definitely get here early if you want little to no line and a quiet coffee shop to enjoy a peaceful morning or get some work done. read more

Spring Leap is one of Light Heart's speciality coffees this season. The presentation was very pretty with latte art, poppyseeds, and a dried lemon. I wasn't sure what lemon poppyseed would taste like in a coffee syrup, and I'm not sure if I know even after trying it. The flavor of their homemade syrup leans towards lemon rind than lemon flesh. It was almost a bit bitter. The espresso was smooth with 2% milk. I would consider coming back but getting a different flavor. read more
