    My two
    Julie S.

    My husband and I received a gift card for a beginner session here. What a fun time! The instructor was really helpful and sweet. The class had about 10 people and we each had our own space to work in. There is a coffee bar when you come in so you can grab a beverage before class starts. Don't wear anything you don't want to get dirty and don't be afraid to fail a time or two. There is plenty of time to throw multiple piece while there. You get to choose your favorite pieces at the end of class. Can't wait to pick them up in about 3 weeks!!

    This place had a nice calming vibe. Everyone was chill even the other guests who attended. There are Cute little trinkets, and fun stickers to purchase. They also serve some healthy treats, cookies, and drinks. I tried a drink called the first date, (love the name). This drink was refreshing and bubbly. A simple mix of cold matcha tea and lemonade splashes. Now, I have to brag about the poetry classes they offer here. We took the class that Henry teaches. Henry did a great job explaining how to create our clay designs today. Thank you Henry, for making the class run so smoothly. Even when I almost messed up my clay, Henry was patient and helpful with all of us. Thanks again Henry

    Very charming and eclectic coffee shop. Also, amazing rose pistachio chai! It was perfect. They also teach classes, mainly pottery. Might have to take a class. Who doesn't like pottery? Excellent service.

    Such a charming spot! Lovely staff and service. I got their dark macadamia latte and it is by far one of the best lattes I've ever had in the Phoenix area. I would recommend this spot to anyone and everyone !!

    I had so much fun taking a class at PIP! My instructor did a great job walking us all through the steps of centering, opening, and shaping. She also offered to center for us or talk us through it which I thought was great. I've taken a wheel throwing class before where I kept getting frustrated at my lack of ability to center so her offering to center for us was much appreciated. I liked the workshop feel of the class after the open instruction, we were free to play around with the clay and start over if we messed up. Last, we picked 2 pieces to keep and chose our glaze colors. I can't wait to see how my pieces turn out! I hope to come back for another class in the future.

    People were kind. I was able to get a coffee while I took the ceramics class. It was so fun. And the teachers were patient a with the beginners. You get dirty- so come prepared Highly recommend.

    One of the most fun activities I've done in Phoenix! The studio is super cute and artsy and smells like amazing coffee. I took the beginners class with the wheel throwing machine or whatever it's called. The process, studio, and tools etc were all super organized. The instructor explained how to do it for about a half an hour, then we got to create pottery from straight up clay on our own! There are 3 glaze colors to choose from: brown, black and white. Wear pants and shoes you don't mind getting wet clay all over when it flings out of the wheel! It came off in the washing machine tho :)

    I drive by this coffee shop almost daily on my way to work. I finally decided to stop and get some coffee. The shop is really cute. It has a few items for sale like aprons, candies, mugs. They also have pastries and a few breakfast options. The young lady was very friendly and cheerful. I ordered the bumblebee latte which I enjoyed. I definitely will be returning to try the rose pistachio latte. If you want some good coffee you should try Pip.

    This is my second time visiting @pipcoffeeclay in Phoenix. I brought a group with me and this is their first time experiencing this ultra-friendly and down-to-earth café and clay throwing and sculpting studio, that also serves cocktails, bagels, burritos and more. The food is high-quality with a lot of house made items in the café at the front of the establishment. There are also clay items for purchase, as well as some other fun gifts to shop through. At the back of the building, there is a clay studio with large windows to let the sunlight in and an upstairs area for clay sculpting that also brings in a lot of natural light. We decided to come in and take the Beginners Wheel Throwing class for only $55 each. This includes 10 balls of clay, two creations of your choosing to be fired and glazed, and an instructor taking you through the steps and walking around helping you if you need additional support. All equipment, wheels and tools are included. The class lasts for two hours of clay throwing and the last half hour is cleanup and choosing your glaze. This gives you a total of 2 1/2 hours. I think this is a bargain for the class that they are offering. My crew and I were celebrating our girls' birthday and enjoyed some lattes and bagels before and after our wheel throwing class with Elena, who is an excellent and patient instructor. She said our entire group was extremely chill because nobody was yelling or cussing as our creations got demolished on our wheel - Haha Namaste Clay Ommmm We get to pick up our creations in three weeks after they have been fired and glazed twice. I chose a yellow glaze for my two bowls. My girls, guest and hubs chose black, clear, and yellow. There was also a pink glaze available on this day. I will post how they turned out when we pick them up! You just come into the café and give them your name or go back and pick up your pieces and they're ready. We'd like to try the clay sculpting classes next. The instructor said this is very different from wheel throwing and you do not need to have any experience for this as well.

    This place is super cute and fun. My friend and I decided to sign up for one of their ceramics class and we both enjoyed it. Booking online was easy and fast. The day of the class finally came and we arrived right when it was about to start. It was a full class and there were about 14 or so of us? All the seats and wheels were taken. The instructor was very friendly and helpful. Me and ceramics have never gotten along and for some reason I can't comprehend how I am supposed to make something out of wet clay and this spinning wheel... nonetheless I was struggling. I asked for help and she quickly came over and got me back on track without making me feel dumb. She showed me how to and I was finally able to make a bowl. We picked up our pieces about a month after our class date and I was very happy on how they turned out. The colors that I chose are sooooo pretty! Pickup day, we bought ourselves some coffee and they were really good. Service was great. Parking can be a struggle so we parked at the building in front and walked a little. You get to keep two pieces from your session! Can't wait to book another class soon!

    We came by for coffee before heading to the airport. My wife got an Urmami bagel and a Calico latte. She said both were some of the best she's had! If we are back in phoenix in the future we'll be sure to stop by again.

    Came here for a beginner wheel class for my friends birthday weekend, the few of us had a great time. The instructors are very nice and made the class fun! We got coffee before the class and the iced latte with vanilla syrup with oat milk was some of the best coffee I've gotten in a while! When the staff heard we were celebrating our friends birthday they offered us a free treat, very thoughtful. Very chill relaxing space in the front, with walls covered in local small business art.

    I had such a great experience in the beginners wheel class I took. It was much harder than I expected but the instructor was a great support during the class. The class time does give you adequate time to get used to the wheel and to make your pieces. You're also able to bring in your food or drinks you've purchased at the front into the studio. Overall it was such a fun time and I'm planning to come back for some more practice!

    Came here for lunch with a friend on a Saturday, had a good time! (Drinks in photo not from here)…read more I enjoyed my Cast Iron Egg dish, the shallot (or scallion) cream sauce was the secret winner, but I may want to try something new next time. My friend enjoyed the Pork Chili Verde dish. Portions are decent. We sat outside, which at noon in May is a bit warm, but we eventually moved to a shaded table and that was enjoyable. They have lots of fans and misters outside too. I also picked up a strawberry rhubarb and coconut rum cake for my parents. They loved the strawberry rhubarb, but they said the coconut rum cake was a bit strong on the rum (it tastes exactly like Malibu if you like that). Overall had a good time and would go back, staff was friendly despite it being busy.

    A friend of mine suggested this spot for a mid-morning breakfast, and I hadn't been here in years…read moreso I agreed. I read that their parking lot fills up quickly but that there's a public lot across the street, so I parked there and crossed over. This cozy restaurant was fairly busy and we perused the pastry case while waiting in line, lots of tempting treats. My friend ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes which are topped with blueberries. A lot of their menu items have pork in it, but they were good about substituting. The burrito usually has schreiners chorizo, hash browns, cheddar, sunny egg and chili oil with side of salsa verde. I asked for avocado instead of the chorizo. We brought our own drinks so didn't order any. We grabbed a table on their patio since the sun wasn't over our heads yet. It's nice out there and I think they have some fans going to keep the air flowing, and there was also a natural breeze. Our food came out and they were plated beautifully. My burrito looked good, but it had too much hashbrowns and also there wasn't any chili oil, which was a bummer. Maybe they normally put it on the chorizo so they forgot to add it to my avocado. The egg was runny which I like: The salsa verde was delicious; I love cilantro and it had great flavors. I tried the pancakes and they were fairly rich but I liked the tart lemon flavor and the blueberries, one of my favorite fruits. This is a nice place to meet up (small groups) and I'm glad I visited again.

I was specifically interested in their piercings (Side note, I asked if Xolo Tacos is also owned by them, but it isn't). I visited for the first time on a Sunday afternoon, just missing the late morning rush, so I had ample options to choose from regarding seating (there's couches, tables, stools)! As a first-timer who loves specialty coffees, I inquired about which drink might be the sweetest and best suited to my tastes, and through shared decision-making, we decided on the Azucar Morena! It's comprised of brown sugar and molasses, which satisfied my taste buds and coffee fix. There wasn't a wifi password sign anywhere, but upon inquiry, I received it and proceeded to chill for an hour or so before closing. I loved that they kept the door open to let in more natural lighting and fresh outside air on that serene Sunday afternoon. Overall highly recommend this coffee shop for delicious, unique specialty coffees. I can't wait to return to try more, including the pistachio espesso and cafe de olla! Or I might even stick to my azucar morena that I loved so much

    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

After taking a number you can comfortably wait in the hallways that are lined with a few tables, chairs and power outlets. When your number is up, Yumi, the owner/ barista/hostess will personally escort you to her small but bright and welcoming suite. The small but original menu offers baked goods, cortados lattes, non coffee lattes and specialty beverages. The vibe of this space clicks with the other gem, clothing, tattoo and hair salons within the Carmody shopping center. You order from the unique menu offering baked goods, cortados lattes, non coffee lattes and specialty beverages. The Kuromitsu matcha latte is served iced due to the cold foam but my daughter requested she could try the kuromitsu match latte hot. ($7.5) with the kuromitsu on the side. Honoring the customer's desire, Yumi gladly accommodated. I ordered the miso caramel latte. ($7.) Both drinks were tasty. The Kuromitsu had a rich taste like molasses but with less bitterness. Mix this with milk and it's like a dessert! The miso and caramel combined sweet with savory to produce a distinctive taste. My daughter and I each believed we had ordered the better drink, but after swapping sips, we were surprised to find ourselves preferring each other's instead! Be sure to leave ample time for ordering and enjoying this one on one experience. The wait times vary depending on how many customers are ahead of you. Tanoshimu!

    I've been visiting Yumi's coffee for a while now and after every visit I am reminded why Yumi's is…read morethe best! This has been, consistently, my favorite cup of coffee (latte) that I've ever had. Yumi has mastered her craft with espresso and matcha. While I do usually get latte's here, i do occasionally get a matcha or try my wife's, and the matcha is equally as great. When visiting Yumi, it isn't your typical coffee shop experience, you don't wait in line to have your order taken, then wait for your order at a counter. Rather, you get to have a personal experience with Yumi (and sometimes her husband Brett) as she crafts you the perfect drink! Brett and Yumi are always great company and I really enjoy getting to chat it up with them each time we go! Not only is the company and drinks good, but the assorted, rotating pastries and treats are delicious! There are flavors that I wouldn't have thought of mixing or trying before. Each time I go, I always make sure to get something to eat, everything I've had has been delectable! Depending on the time of day, the queue can get a little long, however there are plenty of interesting magazines to look through spread out in the seating area of the Carmody that are fun to look through! The drinks, company, experience and treats are well worth the wait. I absolutely recommend visiting Yumi next time you're looking for a coffee or matcha! If I could leave more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.
