New Penny is a staple for us! We love to sit at the bar and have always had excellent experiences with bartenders. Recently we went in and Andrea made our experience AMAZING! We've tried most of the breakfast menu and have never been let down, it's all delicious. Whether the place is busy from games just ending or a little slower during the week the vibes are always just right. An Avondale must go! read more

Let me preface this review by saying that I am reviewing the experience as much, if not more, than the food and drinks. My wife and I absolutely love New Penny. We actually followed the owners here after frequenting their previous coffee shop, En Route. When they opened New Penny, supporting them was an easy decision. The café is thoughtfully divided into two distinct spaces: a family-friendly dining area and a lounge-style bar area geared more toward adults. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and inviting. There are house-made dishes, local merchandise, a shaded patio, and plenty of charm throughout. My wife's favorites are the Breakfast Totchos and the Acai Bowl. Personally, I am also a loyal Breakfast Totchos fan. As for drinks, the Copper Coin and the legendary Cowboy Latte are both worth ordering. What truly sets New Penny apart, however, is the people. The owners and staff have created a space that feels inclusive, welcoming, and genuinely connected to the community. Support local businesses. Better yet, support local businesses that are doing things the right way. Get to know the owners. Get to know the staff. Places like New Penny don't just serve food and coffee--they create gathering places. Whether you're meeting a friend, taking a business meeting, enjoying a date, or simply looking for a quiet place to sit by yourself, New Penny delivers. One of my favorite local businesses, and one that my family will continue to support. read more

Cute café vibes in Avondale. New Penny Cafe is a trendy, fast-casual spot serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, coffee, cocktails, and fresh baked goods with a community focused feel. They make so many items in-house, from cinnamon rolls and cookies to breakfast favorites, and they also feature local artisan goods like jewelry, keychains, and soaps. Such a fun touch. I went with the Grilled Cheeser on sourdough with three types of cheese, paired with cheesy corn chowder soup and a large Sunset Green Iced Tea with hints of raspberry, orange, and lemongrass. Cozy, flavorful, and such a great lunch stop. Definitely a cute place to relax, grab a bite, and enjoy the coffee shop vibe. read more

Absolutely amazing service at The New Penny Cafe. The food and coffee were already great, but the staff really stood out to me. I went to grab a cup of water and a woman with a backpack on asked if I needed help. I initially thought she was another customer, but she actually worked there and was still willing to help even though she was clearly heading out. It was such a small interaction, but genuinely so thoughtful. Then after I left, I realized I had forgotten my retainers at the table. I rushed back, embarrassed, and another waitress had carefully placed them in a cup for me instead of throwing them away. You can really tell the staff care about people. Exceptional service and such a kind atmosphere. read more

Okay this spot was such a vibe -- part café, part boutique market energy, and honestly just one of those places you can hang for a while. Bright open space, cute local goods everywhere, and the funniest little gift section that had us literally rolling. It feels casual but still thoughtfully curated, which I loved. Food hit too -- my absolute favorite was the coconut (açaí-inspired) bowl. The texture was divine -- creamy, refreshing, and super satisfying. My friend had the elote avo toast and it looked just as good as my friend said it tasted -- stacked, flavorful, and definitely a standout. Great brunch spot, fun browsing, chill energy -- I'd absolutely swing back when I'm in the area. read more

My husband and I met a friend here for breakfast and I was thoroughly impressed. I got the chicken and waffle sandwich and my husband got the California burrito. Our friend raved about the green chile burrito and we all loved the hash brown flight. The coffee was a little sweet for my preference but it had great flavor overall. I just know to order a little less sweet next time. The place was busy but efficient. It's seat yourself but there was plenty of options when we were there. It's run really well, plenty of space, and really friendly staff. read more

We've been here a few times and we really like that they have a variety of different foods to pick from. The service was quick on the day we went.

We were at the sports complex next-door, the past couple weekends and have gone here in between games. Very cozy atmosphere. We sat at the bar and Andrea took care of us both times she's absolutely amazing. She makes a really good espresso martini and goes above and beyond to make sure the customers are happy. They have great beer selections. The food was delicious. We've tried the green chili burrito the chicken wrap and the açai bowls. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious drinks and more! Can't wait to come back to try their sandwiches & other menu items. My mom & I just popped in as we were waiting for my mom's appointment at the Aveda Institute.

I love this place. This is a must-go-to place for brunch. Freshly prepared bakery items, breakfast, lunch, or brunch items are presented in various flavors. Do not forget the drink options, from water to adult beverages and everything in between. Once you order at the counter, find a seat at the bar, patio, tables, or even grab a relaxing leather chair to sit back and enjoy yourself. read more

What a great place to relax and unwind. They have many homemade syrups and a wide variety of options in food and drinks. If you want a quick muffin they got you! If you want a meal or a bagel with peanut butter they have that too. A little area of merch that's fun and unique. Service was served with a smile and great personality. read more

This place is pretty spacious and has a lot to offer. I tried out the PB Mazapan latte and it was not my favorite. It was bitter and could not even taste the peanut butter. The cashier was friendly. I will come back again and try something else out. The inside was clean and the music that was playing was nice. read more

We stopped by for come coffee on Saturday and this place was busy busy. We stood in line and had enough time to look over the menu. We ordered: One Carmelita latte with vanilla cold foam One PB Mazapan latte One chai tea with strawberry cold foam The cashier was friendly. He recommended me the Carmelita latte after I told him I wanted something sweet. The Carmelita ended up being yummy. It was not too sweet and not bitter. The vanilla cold foam made it 1000x better and I'm glad I added it. The chai latte with the added strawberry cold foam was also really good. The only drink that was a let down was the PB Mazapan as it was super bitter and not at all sweet. The inside was clean and good music was being played. I cant wait to be back and try out the pastries and food - everything looked good. read more

We went after my nephew's graduation graduation. First time visiting despite living pretty close. I had a couple of drinks, coffee, and French toast balls. The food was good. They waiter was nice. We sat at the bar so service was pretty quick. I would go back to try something else. It has a normal coffee bar vibe. It looks like people work out of the location and just hang out to chat. It wasn't busy when we arrived, but it picked up about 10 minutes later. read more

We've been here 4 times now and I always recommend it. I love that it's local and not a chain. The food is delicious and so are the drinks. One of my favorite places to stop and eat with lots of healthy choices. My toddler loves the fruit bowl with all the berries and we love the BLVD burrito! read more

This is a clean and upbeat breakfast spot that has a home feel to it. Great location and good service went a long way! They also have an area where they sell t shirts and crafts. Indoor and outdoor seating that is spacious and also comfortable. The food was great! We had the French toast bites and potatoes that are tater tot style. We also had the hard fried egg with biscuits and gravy. Recommended to try! read more

Very cool coffee shop in Avondale. The shop itself is super inviting with a great variety of food, coffee and other options. The folks at the counter were great and definitely steered me in the right direction to the BLVD Burrito. The burrito was tasty with a good balance of eggs, meat and potatoes. Definitely hit this place up for a good coffee, food, vibe. read more

My partner and I tried New Penny Cafe for the first time recently. Overall it was positive experience and I would like to try them again at some point. This is a counter service restaurant . So if you get "table anxiety" you may want to go when it's less busy on a weekday, or have a member of your party grab a table while the other orders. Luckily we were able to snag a shaded table on the patio. For food we ordered the California Breakfast Burrito, Breakfast Tacos from the $5 menu, and a side of Hashbrowns. The burrito was decent, but it doesn't come with any salsa unless you ask for some on the side. The Breakfast Tacos were extremely dry. There are bottles of hot sauces on the tables which helped, but neither of us were a fan of the tacos. The Hashbrowns were pretty standard, but tasty. They have a really interesting selection of coffee drinks on their menu. We didn't end up ordering anything because we'd already had our morning coffees, but there were several which caught our eye for next time. read more

This was a cute cafe! I got the sandwich and it was very simple I wouldn't get it again just because it's something I could make at home. My friend got the breakfast burrito and it was on the dry side and mainly potato. Other food around us looked so good so I think we just ordered the wrong things! My vanilla coffee was tasty but wasn't super into my friends cinnamon latte but I like sweeter coffees. We came to study and it was on the loud side but it was a Sunday so to be expected since it seems more of a cafe than a coffee shop! Overall it was a nice place and Id come back on a week day since my main reason for going would be to study. read more

First time here. Wanted to take my grandson here for breakfast and talk. The inside was too loud so we sat outside. Before going outside, we placed our order which included 2 fried eggs. I've been to many places so when they said fried eggs, I said I wanted the fried eggs to be medium. She said "they are only served fried". Ok - but that is all I'm asking is for my fried eggs to be over medium. No, they only do fried or sunny side up. This place needs to have their definitions printed somewhere because fried eggs are classified by how the egg is cooked and whether it is flipped - not just "fried". The eggs came "over hard" which apparently is their definition of a fried egg. Just say that in your menu. The egg bowl did tasted great. I also ordered a side of sourdough toasted bread. When the toast arrived, it was already cold - in fact the butter would not even melt on the toast. Grandson ordered the french toast bites and loved them. We sat outside and by the time we were finished my grandson had 6 mosquito bites. As we were leaving, I mentioned to them about the bites and asked if they had their outside serviced for mosquitos. Her response was "No. That is outside." Really? I had no idea I was outside. Frustrating response by someone who didn't understand that maybe restaurants who offer outdoor seating should make sure it is a good environment for people and not just bugs. And with all the talk about the nile virus being transmitted from mosquito bites I was pretty disappointed in her lack of empathy. Probably will not go back even though (most of) the food was good. read more

I really liked the BLVD Burrito from here. It had good sauce, crispy tots, and whatever seasoning they used was like crack (kinda reminded me of barbecue chip flavor). The hash brown flight was interesting, but probably wouldn't order it again. Coffee drinks tasted good! Just a little too much ice. The wait was pretty good considering how packed it was. read more

Food was good, not great, and hugely overpriced (thus the three star rating). So, by good, I mean, how can you mess up an egg and bacon. Except you can't get the eggs cooked how you want, they are fried, period. And the eggs I was served were super salty. I got the "Low Carb Power Bowl". It comes with two eggs, 2 short strips of bacon. That was it for the "food". Came with a condiment of a dollop of mashed avocado (not guacamole, which is spiced avocado dip, but it looked like guacamole), and a condiment of salsa. It came with a sprinkle of shredded cheese next to (on the container) or on top of the mashed avocado. For bacon and eggs (with a dollop of avocado and 2 tablespoons of salsa, it came to over $9. The bacon wasn't like a full strip, but it was a wide strip - and not real thick, just average. Like I said, the fried egg was... ok... got a couple of mouthfulls of salt in the eggs, however, enough to choke over. I wish they wouldn't season food like that without asking. The bacon was... ok. The salsa was really good, and the best part of this breakfast. They also had fresh squeezed orange juice (extra $), which is a big plus for me. Beyond the breakfast, they have all sorts of pastries and desserts, and they all look amazing!! For me, being low carb, these were all off limits. But if I was craving something sweet, this would def be my go-to to try. The cafe itself is also a little local artisan shop. You know the typical things you would find in a card shop or something of that character... ceramic mugs, cups, and jewelry... however, what they carry is ALL local, and different than you would find in a typical card-type shop, or tourist shop, if you will. Some very cool and unique items, some unique ceramic mugs and cups, and just everything was so cool there. If I was looking for a nice, unique, hand made gift of some sort, this too, would be the first place I would go! Would I try them again for breakfast? Maybe. But something different than I got. And, though I thought the low carb breakfast was way over priced, it was one of the cheapest items on the menu. Maybe if it came with two meats instead of one, three eggs instead of two. Or also included olives, cottage cheese, or cheese sticks... or a drink... orange juice. But as it was, at l least for $9 a pop, I oughta be able to choose how my eggs were cooked, and how they were seasoned. As well, to have the cheese put ON the eggs, or at least ON the food and not on the container. Overall, 50-50. Good, not great, could be better, but the shop itself was cute, and the bakery items, at least, looked good. read more

I love this little café. They do a good job at a lot of things. Unfortunately, I found overtime, It's quite inconsistent. The Sonoran Turkey sandwich is pretty delicious and it has been my hyper fixation for many weeks now.Today I ordered for delivery and there was barely any turkey on it. What was included was shoved over on one side, which is how I even noticed it..there may have been close to a slice and a half of shredded meat. Also, arugula is usually on the sandwich, and today's order came with old, bruised, chopped romaine. With the prices, the way they are and increasing every day you really expect to get that same quality from an order you've had many times before unless otherwise noted. read more

I chose this place because it was nearest to my hotel and also looked like the food was good. Matcha banana smoothie: 9/10. I was very surprised with this one. The matcha tasted sweet and did not have the bitter or grassy taste I'm usually worried about. I also just love the combination of matcha and banana. I would definitely get again. Dragonfruit acai bowl: 4/10 This bowl did not taste like acaI at all. It was way too sweet and topped with fruity peoples that made it more sweet. BLVD Burrito: 9/10 I so loved this burrito. Usually, I would not be able to finish any burrito because I find it so filling. However, this burrito was so good, not too oily, not heavy in tortilla. I would definitely recommend this. read more

This was our first time trying New Penny Cafe! It's larger inside than I would've thought! They have a section of the store that is small businesses and things made locally which was really awesome to see! We got 2 iced latte drinks. They both taste so good!! I'm kind of shocked. I need to come back to try the matcha next time. They were fairly busy, but the service was still top tier! I will definitely be back again! read more

Yum! Their breakfast burritos are wonderful! Their hashbrowns are so so crispy, so it adds a great layer of crunch in between all the eggs and sausages. Their service is decent - we sat outside so they checked on us once but other than that, they do seem to follow up often with the guests seated inside to ensure that they were happy with their services. Clean facility and well kept. read more

Stopped in for late lunch with my girls and my daughter thought is was the coolest place. She loved the decor and the displays of things to buy. We ordered the chicken salad sandwich, French toast bites & kids potato plate (great idea!). All the food was really good. The chkn sandwich was very satisfying. We also ordered the smores crunch & cookie butter iced lattes both with cold foam, coffees were spot on. Signed up for the rewards on the 2nd purchase of items from them. I found it weird I had to ask if they had a rewards program. Over all it was great, will definitely try to make this a more frequent habit. read more

A busy little cafe located in the west valley; be prepared to wait in a bit of a line (and with good reason!) New Penny Cafe takes to-go and dine-in orders, both of which are placed at the counter. It's self-seating, which can be fun (if there's space!) I really liked their strawberry lemonade, as it seemed really fresh and was perfect on a warm day. I thought the açaí bowl was a bit icy (but the granola and peanut butter topping was quite tasty). read more

Came out to Arizona to visit some family and decided to try out this cafe near the hotel, it was my first time and I did feel a bit rushed when ordering even though there was no one in line behind me and it wasn't busy. I had the iced buttercrunch s'mores latte and a california breakfast burrito. The burrito was definitely california sized and the latte was perfect, not too sweet either. I was able to do some homework in the seating area and it was nice environment and they had free-wifi which was very convenient. I decided to try it again the next day and tried their Mojave vanilla bean latte and had a better experience when ordering (even though it was busier than the day before) the drink was also pretty good but it is more on the sweeter side! read more

I left my review on google, but wanted to put it on here as well for transparency. I come to New Penny Cafe regularly and have generally enjoyed it, but I've had multiple experiences recently that were disappointing. The service from management (specifically the lady with pink hair) in particular has felt unprofessional and dismissive. There seems to be a lack of awareness in how customers and staff are being treated with clear favoritism towards specific individuals, and it creates an uncomfortable atmosphere. As a frequent customer, I expect a welcoming and respectful environment, both for guests and employees. I hope ownership takes a closer look at how customer service and team interactions are being handled. read more

I've been to this location a few times and have enjoyed their drinks. This last time I went I tried the tiramisu latte. It was delicious, but it tasted like any other plain mocha. I got a warmed up apple fritter, and I plan to pass on their pastries from now on. It was okay. Not worth $5 in my personal opinion. Plus it was still cold and dry while I ate it. read more

We were excited to try this place but were sadly disappointed. My husband's turkey sandwich was sloppily made (all the meat on one side) and my avocado toast was 1 very thin slice of untoasted bread. Both items were pricey for what we received. Our grandson's nuggets were so overly seasoned that he wouldn't touch them so we ended up at Carl's Jr. The restaurant was not busy, so not sure if this is standard. read more
