    matcha?
    Deysia C.

    The brownie and tasmanian cupcake were not too bad. I wouldn't go back but i did enjoy the desserts. the matcha latte was unfortunately one of the worst i've had, it was grainy and brown. i ordered a matcha latte with agave and strawberry. I didn't finish a quarter of it, and it was 7-8 dollars. The employees were okay! Overall a very average experience.

    Nami is hands-down my favorite spot for vegan dessert. Yes, the soft serve can be a little pricey, but honestly it's worth every spoonful if you find what you're hankering for -- light, fresh, rich, and so much to choose from. They always have fun specials on the board but look at all the menus on the counter too. The variety of bakery keeps it exciting, and I love that it never tastes overly heavy no matter what I get. It's my go-to treat when I want something indulgent especially ice cream during summer. My favorites are (all gluten free) the bundts, donuts, soft serve of life's a peach with vanilla, fruity with strawberry mixed berry and chocolate syrup with swirl, rocky road (very chocolatey) and the orange creamsicle (very sweet though). You'll find what you're looking for here. Don't over think it, just go! 080525

    Nami is the cutest little vegan dessert spot and it is busy!! At least it was on a Tuesday evening when I went there! And I can tell why because they have scrumptious vegan delights and vegan soft serve -- I love a good soft serve. My friend and I walked over to Nami after eating dinner at Green New American and at first we only noticed the specials above the counter, but there was a whole other menu when we got up to the front so it was so hard to decide! My friend had the chick o stick special -- I can't remember what else was in it but I think it was vegan chocolate chips? I had the chocolate cake with swirled soft serve -- that was so good I can't remember the full name I was too busy eating and getting a brain freeze to remember LOL. There was a nice buzz inside and everyone was very friendly -- who wouldn't be eating delicious sweets. By the time we left there was a line out the door and standing room only. While we were eating our soft serve specials I noticed that they have an amazing vegan breakfast menu, so obviously I will be coming back to check that out!! Overall I was very impressed.

    Swirl tsoynami with hard shell, caramel sauce, and gluten free wafer
    Jorey C.

    I'm here writing again since I've been back many times since I wrote my review one year ago. I gotta say I used to be obsessed with this place but it's gone slightly down, but just slightly. I find that if I don't have great toppings/mix-ins then it's just an okay tsoynami, because there's only three flavors (vanilla and chocolate and swirl). And it's plant based so it's lighter which I appreciate but it's just different than regular dairy ice cream. I love how they have new combos to try out, most times they're not gluten free but sometimes they are! I will say I always appreciate the about of gluten free mix ins, the gluten free wafers are my favorite. They had a chocolate hard shell at one point and I loved that but they got rid of it so quickly, not sure why it couldn't stay. Their pastries are also tasty, love the cheesecake that happens to be gluten free! There's also a cookie creme sandwich that even I think is too sweet, only need a few bites of that one. All employees are always so nice. There's typically seating but if you go on weekend night, the line can get long really fast. Indie, vibrant vibes inside, it's cool. Super nice stop after a meal at green!

    I ordered an espresso shake with chai and a caramel drizzle and it didn't have much caramel the first time but the folks inside were nice enough to remake it!

    Nami is a classic spot for me and my girlfriend. We usually come for the vegan ice cream (we're not vegan, it's just really good) or we grab coffee and walk around the beautiful neighborhoods nearby. The staff is always so kind and quick with preparing our order. To be honest, I haven't had any of their food yet, but if you're looking for a fun sweet treat for a date or early coffee & scenic walk, this is a great spot to hit up.

    Rocky road tsoynami
    Amanda A.

    This review is for the dessert only. I eat dairy free and rarely get to enjoy an ice cream- let alone one that is full of tasty treats. There are plenty of gluten free options here as well. I ordered the rocky road tsoynami which was very tasty. At first it seemed like the add ins were only on the top, but to my delight they were mixed in throughout the ice cream. The service was friendly and prompt. I will say the seating options are limited as it is a small place and the chairs aren't the most comfortable so I wouldn't plan on staying a super long time.

    If you have not been to Nami, this is your sign to give this place a shot! Nami is all vegan bakery and coffee shop. I love the soy ice creams here. Baked goods are also available here and they're delicious as well. Recommend the cookies and cream but I prefer the plain vanilla. It's so creamy and great for a hot day. Service is always nice and we are able to get our orders quickly. It's a small bakery shop with cool and interesting art.

    Vegan PB Chocolate dessert was to die for! Wish I had more room for all the vegan desserts! Will come back next year for Spring Training.

    Update Review Nami's has been very consistent with their drinks and pastries. Every time I go here, I love how they do things. Cookie Butter Bliss- This drink is seasonal. I wish they can keep this as a secret menu like Colados not far away. The main difference is they use cold brew coffee with cookie butter. I asked to add almond milk to mine. I wish they would have a larger size. Worth it for cookie butter fans that can't have dairy! The Hunk- They have been consistent with this pastry with shredded coconut. Overall Nami's is great place to go. The Giving Tree next door is permanently closed. Just go next door to The Green American which is also I believe owned by Nami's.

    Good place to order vegan desserts from. I got a custom vegan German chocolate cake for Friendsgiving from this location. The online process is easy or you can call. The cake was a little dense and dry but good tasting overall. The service was amazing, but the food is overall very pricey. Great for special occasions or custom orders.

    I've been coming to Nami for the past 9 years and I've met so many exceptional counter staff! We've brought endless friends here and our kiddos have grown up eating the delectable soy & vegan treats that we absolutely love. They have never disappointed in service or flavor and we recommend them to anyone and everyone!

    Prickly Pear Tea Iced and Hot
    Jillian G.

    The coffee is amazing, and so is the açaí bowl! The bowl was so filling, fresh, and delicious. While enjoying your treats, you'll love the intimate environment. It's small, which is perfect for a first date. I had a lovely time chatting with the staff, and their recommendations were on point! I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this small business for someone looking to relax, journal, or catch up with a friend.

    What are the "must-try" or the best menu items here?

    Definitely the tsoft-serve! Any of the sundae flavors are amazing! The butterfinger dupe is absolutely incredible and is hands down my favorite!

    Do they have any oil-free options?

    The baked goods are not oil free, but the ice cream creations are. You'd have to get oil free toppings as well... so no cookies n cream or peanut butter, etc.

    Do they have anything gluten free here?

    lots of options! they always have gf baked goods, ice cream, granola, cookie dough...on and on!

    Does this place adhere to the hours posted? I've been twice now in the evening and they were inexplicably closed. Bummer because the other time we visited their machine was…

    They do stick to their hours unless the power goes out! That happens sometimes during a big storm

    Is Nami pet-friendly?

    Yes. Patio outside.

    How are the shakes here? I always go straight for the Chai Tiramisu nami, but I've always wondered if the strawberry shake was worth the drive over here

    The espresso shake is my go to! My dairy eating friends had no idea it was vegan!!

The theme is (as one might suspect) songbirds and the entire Cafe is decorated with small songbird items. As a detail oriented person, I was in heaven noticing all the cute decorations. I ordered the matcha latte and it did not disappoint. My friend ordered an iced americano. Both are classic items and they delivered well. There is plenty of seating inside and outside (weather permitting) and it seems like it would be a peaceful place to study or work. The baristas were sweet and patient and helpful with the menu.

    Songbird Coffee & Tea House is a cute coffee house in downtown Phoenix (more specifically near the…read moreRoosevelt Row Arts District) and the shop is located in a historic house built in 1904. Apparently the shop sources coffees and teas from local businesses. For example, coffees = Infusion Coffee Roasters in Tempe, loose leaf teas and chai = Maya Tea Company in Tucson, kombucha = Milly Moon Kombucha in Phoenix, and breakfast burritos = Lua Lua Catering. [Parking]: Mostly metered parking and I ended up parking few blocks away from the shop (plenty of metered parking spots near the intersection of E McKinley St & N 5th St). [Atmosphere]: Inside of this historic house, the wall features the work of local artists. The shop also has a cute outdoor patio area with tables. [Menu]: Apparently Matcha Latte is one of the more popular drinks here. The shop offers 12 black tea options, 9 green tea options, 8 herbal tea options, 4 white tea options, and 3 oolong tea options. *** Matcha Latte (16 oz, iced - $6.25): I was surprised that my drink was sugar free by default and I probably say yes when the staff had asked about adding sweetener. The drink was not as creamy as I thought and it was honestly a fairly mediocre drink. The drink also came with a paper straw. *** A great spot for a casual 1st date due to great vibe, but matcha latte just didn't hit the spot.

The first time I ordered it unsweetened was accidental, but trying it without sweetener or flavor was what made me realize that their matcha may be the best I've ever had. I've also had their Mas matcha latte and it is also absolutely delicious and simple and still allows me to taste the matcha through the vanilla and sweetness. I've been to other places that serve Kettl matcha, but none have tasted nearly as rich as Futuro's. The atmosphere itself is true to its name. It is futuristic, simple, and beautiful. It is full of unique art pieces of all types, and they sell their coffees and teas as well. I feel at peace inside and they always have vibey music playing at a perfect volume and incense lit. The service itself is one of a kind and makes me feel like I'm at a 5-star restaurant. They bring your items out on a beautiful tray and will always serve your drink with a cup of water on the side if you order it for here. They will even package your food up for you, which I would never expect from a coffee shop. It can be busy at times with a bit of a wait because the drinks are all made one at a time, but it's always worth the wait. The place isn't very big but has plenty of seating given the space. For working from home, they do have wifi but limited outlets. Their pastries served from a local bakery are also delicious.

I'm currently hooked on the Cafe de Olla, a gorgeous blend of sugar and spice that's topped with a star anise pod that enhances the aroma with every sip. But virtually every menu item -- honorable mention to the Cajeta -- is balanced and well crafted. The baristas are all very knowledgeable about their teas, as well. I've recently been SO hooked by their semi-new weekend pastry artist, Ghita, who crafts such unique desserts. Most recently, I tried their absolutely FIRE black sesame craquelin with a mildly sweet tahini cream. The rhubarb cream pastry was also gorgeous and creative. Futuro as a space is intentionally designed as well, with plenty of seating on both sides, boutique goods for sale, and great reads. It's the perfect place to read a book and chill on weekends. And the staff, even when busy, seem to always perfectly serve each order and efficiently clear out plates. Officially my favorite coffee shop 1000% now.

I saw in one of the comfy chairs while I waited for my former student to arrive. At that point, we moved to a regular table and then went and ordered drinks. She ordered a coffee, and I ordered a lemonade. We both enjoyed our drinks which were ready very quickly. There were smaller and larger tables, and there were also countertops along with business cards and marketing items at the back of the room on a thin table. Lola Coffee began with humble beginnings going back to 1992 with a cart, then Lux Coffee, and eventually Lola Coffee downtown. Now, there is even a second Lola Coffee location in Arcadia near 40th Street and Indian School. Today, they serve coffee, pastries, and breakfast. The Downtown Phoenix location hours are weekdays from 6:30 AM to 7 PM and weekends from 7 AM to 7 PM. You can see their menu, history, photos, and more on their website (https://lolacoffeebarphx.com). While I had trouble choosing between a lemonade for a cold beverage or hot chocolate for a warm beverage, it's great they have so many options. Again, try them for drinks, breakfast, or pastries. Their staff is so helpful and the actual restaurant is quite welcoming to everyone.
