If you're in the East Valley looking for a beautifully designed coffee shop to help you create or connect, Light Heart Coffee in Gilbert is the one. When you walk in, one of the first things you notice is the bar: it stretches from the ordering counter all the way down to where you pick up your drink, and you can just stand there and watch the baristas work their magic. They also have retail coffee on display (it's a bit hidden - have fun discovering that) , so if you fall in love with something you're drinking, you can grab a bag on the way out. My favorite part was the quiet study room in the back. Tables, chairs, ceramics for sale, I felt it was designed to be a place you can quietly disappear to, and it really delivers on that. I didn't expect it, which made it better. The merch is solid too: shirts, mugs, stuff that actually looks good rather than something they just slapped a logo on. The patio out front is super spacious as well. Its set back a little from the street so you get a buffer, but you can still see what's going on. Really fun spot to sit with people. I got my standard doppio: clean, well-pulled, no complaints, and ended up parking in the back for longer than expected. Phenomenal natural natural light, comfortable decor, and a space to be inspired and create. Planned to stay for one hour; stayed for almost three. Light Heart Coffee is genuinely worth the visit. Nice job guys! 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

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 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 have visited a few times since their grand opening and I always have a great visit. The matcha has got to be my favorite. The inside is always clean and and employees are freindly. I am so glad this location is close to me 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

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

Such a cute coffee shop! The berry cobbler matcha is very good! Located in downtown Gilbert. It does get busy, but there's outdoor seating available. Been here a few times already and it's been consistently good! Always have heard great things about this coffee shop so was happy that they now have a location in Gilbert! Service was good! They were helpful with questions and recommendations! 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

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

Coffee and Matcha were very authentic and the place was so cute! Highly recommend not going on a Saturday morning however, line was long! But it was worth it for me 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

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

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

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

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

Light Heart Coffee - Seasonal Nisu Latte - vanilla, raspberry & cardamom - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

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

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 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

Recently tried this location after trying the Scottsdale location a couple years ago. I was not impressed with the Scottsdale location at all so I was hesitant to try it out again here in Gilbert, but I had such a nice experience! The location is great, upon walking in, the space is absolutely adorable and so cute! I loved the indoor/outdoor feel it had with the garage doors and the space was very aesthetic! The customer service was fabulous and he helped me choose the Rabbit Trail latte which is basically a carrot cake latte. It was so delicious and the cups are really cute too! I loved it! The music playing was great, space was clean, and I truly enjoyed my whole experience! 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 on a Friday morning, no line. The store was aesthetically pleasing and felt inviting however the staff could use a bit more training on a friendly welcome and customer service social cues. If you notice a customer waiting for something, ask how you can help them. We had ordered a pastry item that was meant to be warmed up, waited awhile for it before we saw a few breakfast burritos being served out - when finally asking about it, they simply put the pastry item in the bag and handed it to us. Didn't ask if it was suppose to be toasted, nothing. We waited awhile for this last item of our order, to only be handed it cold. We needed to leave so I wasn't going to wait around another 15 to have it heated. So I didn't bother to ask for it to be warmed up but the time wasted was a little frustrating. I also felt compared to the Scottsdale location, my drink did not taste to standard. 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

Light Heart Coffee - 16oz Nisu latte with macadamia nut milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

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

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

I have been going to the Scottsdale Light Heart locations for years and I have always been down to make the drive because I LOVE their drinks. So when I found out they were opening one in Gilbert I was ecstatic because it's so close to me. However, this is my third time at this location and I really wanted a redemption from the last two times, but unfortunately the mark was missed. The location and the ambience is great, so I will give them that! Not that I need 5 star customer service from the baristas, but they always look miserable and not very welcoming. The drinks are also just not consistent with the ones in Scottsdale. They taste watered down :( I will continue to support Light Heart because I am a real fan of the OG locations, but I am hoping the Gilbert location can be redeemed! read more

I heard of this spot and had to come. I tried the chai with Log Cabin flavors and it was delicious. They said the chai is locally made which I love. Their cups are also so cute. I also tried the log cabin as a matcha and it was also so yummy. The matcha is definitely a higher quality. The service on top of the yummy drinks was so quick and friendly! Can't wait to come again. read more

Wow I love this light heart location!! I've been a light heart fan since there was only one location and when they opened one by my house I was so excited!!! They blow me away with how good their drinks are and how kind their staff is! I come here often and never leave disappointed!!! Chase is such a kind barista I love her!! Their breakfast food is really good too! I like the burrito and I love their hot sauce they use! I think you can even buy it there! So so good!! Great place to come to work or hangout with friends!! There is a lot of cute things around the area too, it's a good place to grab a drink and walk around! read more

The perfect coffee shop for a family coffee run and to snap a few photos. Both locations are are aesthetic. Perfect to fuel your productivity/creativity if you're working there.

Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Good coffee. Here is my only issue...The pregnant barista needs safety training on food and coffee making. I mentioned to the cashier that the baristas was wiping her nose with her hand and licked her fingers while making coffees. Yuck!!! Nothing was done about it. That barista is still there wiping her nose . Not sure I'll return! read more

Honestly think it's overhyped. The drinks were not that great- not the matcha or specialty drink. The place is cute and workers are sweet. Wanted to study but none of the seating had outlets. So I couldn't charge anything. Kinda disappointing g read more

I really wanted to give this place a lower review because the wait was pretty long... but I just can't. I'm still thinking about the berry cobbler latte and the pastries--they were that good. Absolutely delicious and totally worth it. My husband and kids got the breakfast burrito and loved it too, which says a lot. Everyone left happy and full. Yes, the wait can be long, but the quality of the food and drinks makes up for it. This is one of those places you keep craving after you leave. Highly recommend! read more

The owners of this shop are AMAZINGGG!!! They truly love what they do & it shows in how intentional they are with each and every customer. The coffee is also sooooo yummy! Their seasonal/featured drinks are so different in the best way possible. You won't find anything similar anywhere else. The shop itself is beautiful & so intentionally decorated. I wish my house could look like Light Heart read more

I drove from SoCal to Arizona for this coffee shop, ordered the narnia with oat milk and it did not disappoint. The shop was so cute I can't get over it! Will make the 6 hour drive to experience it again and visit the other locations. A MUST try if you're in the area! read more
