So happy to have a beautiful coffee shop up in the Deer Valley area with unique lattes! The atmosphere here is great for sitting and studying or catching up with a friend. Really beautiful little shop with lots of amazing coffee options and great pastries. They had good service and were super quick despite being busy. I got their Cardamom Latte and really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be back.
Love to see a new Palestinian business open! We heard about this coffee shop from a friend and came here one evening. It wasn't too busy and we found a spot right out front. It's a good size with indoor and outdoor seating. It's beautiful inside: lots of Palestinian tatreez (embroidery) and neat wicker lampshades. The vibe is relaxed with Arabic music playing, and it smells like cardamom. The menu is fairly extensive with drinks of all kinds as well as pastries, both sweet and savory. Prices seemed fair and on par for similar cafes. We ordered the strawberry lime lemonade, iced tiramisu, hot orange blossom latte, and a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. We sat at one of the open booths as we waited for our drinks. They didn't take long and they had a nice presentation to each of them. The lattes had a foam topping and my lemonade had a lime slice on top and mint leaves in it. Everything tasted delicious, including the cookie. I saw they have a zaatar croissant, which intrigued me. Will have to try that during a future visit. We had a lovely evening here and the family working here was friendly. I wish Sahara much success! Definitely recommend coming here instead of the four (!) Starsucks nearby. Support local businesses!
Great coffee and customer service. Got the salted maple, it was good. Definitely will be back to try some more items.
I live in this area and have been dying for a coffee shop to open near me that is actually good and it has finally happened!!!! This place has amazing coffee and delicious food. It is family owned and operated. The service is both friendly and informative. They have stuffed dates and baklava. Crepes and other yummy food items. I had to get the Turkish coffee and it did not disappoint. It was an Ethiopian origin coffee with real cardamom spice in the coffee. So delicious and definitely hit the spot. My friend tried the iced cardamom latte and it too was delicious. The cardamom and peanut butter stuffed dates were the perfect combo and amount of sweetness to go with my coffee. I can't wait to return to this new gem in my neighborhood
I stopped by Sahara Coffee soon after it first opened and was impressed to see how packed it was! There was a line to the door from the inside, but luckily we snagged a booth (able to comfortable seat up to 4 people). Each booth has access to a power outlet from either side but not both sides. Otherwise, there are 6 tables with 2-4 chairs each and a circular bench with a few attached personal tables and outlet access. The atmosphere was pretty loud, but there were plenty of folks with laptops out doing work. I didn't see a sign with the guest wifi password, but you can ask the barista when you order/pick up your drink. There is no free water station, but there is a fridge toward the back with cans and water bottles for purchase. We got the Spanish latte with tiramisu cold foam, cardamom latte with vanilla cold foam, and brown butter chocolate chip cookie. I enjoyed everything we ordered! The Spanish latte had a strong coffee taste and was mildly sweet - probably the best latte option to best appreciate the coffee taste itself. The cardamom latte was sweeter with a subtle cardamom flavor - I was worried that it would be overpowering, but I wouldn't be mad if it was a little stronger. The cookie was very large, thin, and soft; I was expecting it to be saltier and less sweet but was still enjoyed it! We stayed for a few hours to do some work comfortably at the cushioned booths with throw pillows. Around 2:30pm, most of the crowd died down, but there was still a steady flow of customers still keeping the line going. Overall delicious cafe with interesting drink options, much needed on this side of town in North Phoenix! Will definitely be back to at the very least grab to-go lattes with the girls! Pro tip: there's a 4% off discount as an incentive to pay with cash!
We enjoyed this coffee shop. We had the Guava Rose Refresher, Cardamom latte, and Warbat (phyllo and cheese). Peaceful, and nice service. The only thing missing was Arabic music.
By far one of the best coffee shops in the area. If you're debating on going here, go! As someone who is very particular about their coffee actually tasting like coffee and not a sweet drink, this place did their job and did it well. Flavorful, light, and absolutely delicious. The ambience is also well put together and extremely clean with a ton of seating. I will be returning for the Spanish Latte and the Salted Carmel coffee.
This coffee TASTES like coffee. Hear me out - it doesn't taste burned. It's not over powered by sugar or milk (specifically the Spanish latte and the salted Carmel latte I have tried so far). I haven't tried any food yet but their display box looked delicious. Inside is so so cute with mirrors to take pictures and light neutral colors. It's opening month so it can get pretty busy but the line went quickly. I'm really excited to try more items from them.
Nice new family-owned coffee shop serving up lattes, matcha, turkish coffee, teas, and pastries. I tried the iced cardamom latte, orange blossom latte, turkish coffee, and zaatar mana'eesh. The cardamom latte was my fave. I've never tried cardamom with coffee but it paired well and the drink was not too sweet. The orange blossom latte tasted veryyy floral which I did not expect but it does contain blossom water! The mana-eesh was tasty and simple. A toasted flatbread with zaatar on top. Turkish coffee was strong and piping hot, brewed in a metal pot that's heated in hot sand. Their matcha looks good--has a nice color and is whisked, not pre-batched. The owners were incredibly nice and asked us about our experience and shared their new drink ideas for next time. Expect it to be busy/crowded for the next couple of weeks!
So so happy our neighborhood has a local coffee shop ! And my now new favorite spot to get a strawberry matcha ! I love supporting small businesses ! I love it's a coffee shop that stands I their culture ! It's a new Palestinian coffee shop ! Love all the interior design . It's a great spot to get coffee with friends ! Great space for meetings! I bet the outdoor seating is lovely once the Arizona heat cools down ! I got a strawberry matcha for $9.77 which isn't to bad of price and they use ceremonial matcha which is my favorite! The employees are very kind and helpful ! I love the ambiance very nicely lit and welcoming ! Definitely will be back ! And highly recommend the community support support and I love that I don't have add sweetener to my matcha it was absolutely perfect .
Excited to try this spot! I noticed the Sahara Coffee sign a few months ago and was wondering what would open in this area. Sahara Coffee is a Palestinian owned coffee shop in North Phoenix. The ambience is beautiful with comfortable seating and plenty of pillows. There's gorgeous fabric and patterns throughout but the atmosphere is still calm. The service was wonderful. My barista offered helpful suggestions that weren't too sweet. I ordered the Spanish latte and would absolutely get it again! The espresso flavor was amazing and the sweetness from evaporated milk was subtle. Highly recommend Sahara!
Was super hyped to check out this spot after seeing they opened! We tried two matchas- the strawberry and salted maple, one w oat milk and one w almond. they were both the perfect amount of sweetness. I'd def recommend the oat milk because it makes the drink a lot creamier but both were nice. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, we will be returning for sure. I think the only critique I have is that I'd love for them to have a reward/point system considering the price of the drinks, so hopefully that happens soon! Love the set up for work as well w the outlets and booths!!
Coffee here was delicious. Spot was very busy on a Sunday morning, all seats were taken! Would highly recommended the biscoff latte!

This is definitely one of the best coffee shops I've been to! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the owner is amazing. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and the quality of what they serve. I wasn't sure what to order, so I asked one of the ladies working there what she recommended. She told me the Biscoff Latte was one of their popular drinks, so I decided to try it. WOW. I'm so glad I did. The Biscoff Latte was absolutely delicious! It was creamy, smooth, and had the perfect balance of coffee and Biscoff flavor. You can really taste that caramelized cookie flavor, but it doesn't overpower the coffee or make the drink too sweet. I've tried Biscoff drinks at other places before, but this one was on another level. It honestly might be the best Biscoff Latte I've ever had. If you like Biscoff cookies, you NEED to order this. It almost tastes like a Biscoff cookie turned into a creamy latte. I kept taking another sip thinking, "Wow, this is really good." I finished the whole drink and was already thinking about getting another one next time. If it's your first time here and you don't know what to order, ask for the Biscoff Latte. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's definitely a drink I would come back for again and again. Great coffee, great people, and great service. I highly recommend this coffee shop, and especially the Biscoff Latte. Definitely give it a try! read more

Such a cute new coffee spot! Sahara Coffee has a huge menu for a local shop, with everything from Turkish coffee and lattes to pastries, crepes, waffles, lemonades, and plenty of options for non-coffee drinkers. The space itself is gorgeous, modern and eclectic with beautifully upholstered patterns, embroidery, and so many thoughtful little details. It feels really warm, unique, and well put together. It was packed on a Saturday morning, but there was still lots of comfy seating available. We ended up hanging out, drinking coffee, and reading for a couple of hours because the vibe was so good. We tried the cardamom latte, Turkish coffee, and strawberry lime lemonade, and all three were SO good. Definitely excited to come back and try more of the menu. Such a great addition to the area! read more
A cute new coffee shop in this part of town. The space is beautiful with plenty of indoor seating. There's a small outdoor patio with tables as well for the nice weather months. I tried an iced biscoff latte and it was delicious. Flavorful, not too sweet and very creamy! I also tried a labneh croissant and enjoyed it, the zatar spice on top was delicious. My friend got a strawberry matcha and Nutella crepe and enjoyed both. Staff was very friendly and welcoming and provided suggestions based on preferences. Definitely check them out! read more

Adorable setup for the shop! Was super crowded for such a new business with lots of people studying, but drinks still came out very quickly! My party got a cardamom latte and a biscoff latte and both were awesome! Certainly not the cheapest coffee around, but I'd rather throw in more money for great coffee from a small business than spend only slightly less at Starbucks read more

Brand new coffee shop in North Phoenix. My daughter & I tried out over the weekend for their soft opening. It is a welcoming atmosphere & nicely decorated. Place was packed as it was the opening weekend. Baristas were doing a good job keeping things moving with so many people. Tried the tiramisu latte, the salted maple latte, a zaatar croissant & an apple puff pastry. Food & drinks were tasty & reasonably priced. Location is in Safeway shopping center and plentiful parking / no drive through. Watched an older gentleman make Turkish coffee over hot sand while waiting in line - interesting process! read more

An amazing thing to find a coffee shop that still holds that welcoming, comforting "please stay and sit for awhile" vibe to it. The interior design of this place is gorgeous, I'm especially fond of the centerpiece. I went during the soft opening and the grand opening and they were busy! But very kind and helpful. I ordered a tiramisu latte and salted maple latte with oat milk - delicious! Coffee has great body and depth to it and the flavors come through without being overly sweet. I will say, if you are sensitive to caffeine, this coffee will come through!! Overall, very good spot to catch up with anyone and hang out, with great food and drink offered and a calming environment to boot. read more
