    Pistachio Crepe
    Zuriel L.

    One of my favorite places to come to get a sweet treat and also do my work. Customer service is amazing and friendly. The food is delicious and drinks are yummy. Ordered the Pistachio Crepe that comes with bananas, blueberries and sometimes strawberries. Ordered the Strawberry Dubai Chocolate Cup and was sooooo yummy...The ambiance of the place is cool and plenty of room to do your work.

    Tried Shaghf Cafe on a weekday for a late lunch with a friend. We had seen pictures of a savory food menu and pictures of these menu offerings, but come to find out Shaghf Cafe doesn't really serve much savory food anymore. They did have "calzones" which were basically pizza dough wrapped around meat and sauce. They were out of the flavor I wanted so I tried the buffalo chicken instead. It was very average. I also tried the Dates Cold latte because they indicated the date syrup is imported from Dubai. It had an artificial sweetener taste to it, which I didn't love. My friend tried the Dubai chocolate crêpe, which was actually a pretty generous portion and tasted delicious! The woman taking orders was very knowledgeable about the menu but I didn't really appreciate that there was no menu descriptions so I had no choice but to ask her to tell me what was in every single menu item. The desserts in the pastry cabinet near the register looked old and flimsy. If you're looking for something sweet, this might be a great option. I was glad to try Shaghf Cafe but don't think I'll be returning.

    Pistachio latte
    Dawn M.

    Came here on a Saturday. Not busy at all. I placed my order and was out the door less than 10 minutes. I got the pistachio latte with less than half sugar. Delicious! I recommend this drink for the coffee lovers. I'll be back!

    THIS PLACE WAS SO DELICIOUS extremely tasty desserts and delicious coffee options! The inside area was so warm and welcoming. Everyone needs to check this place out

    tiramisu latte and coconut latte (decaf) both hot- coconut latte wins
    Moncerrath N.

    We went on a late Friday night since it was opened until 1am (Fridays and Saturdays). Other days they are opened until midnight. The cafe is clean, beautiful interior design, filled with customers through the cafe. We were greeted by staff and offered their recommendation since we asked. We ordered a hot tiramisu latte and a hot coconut latte decaf with a Pistachio Nutella croissant served with a side of fresh bananas and strawberries- super delicious and would order again. The coconut latte was both of our favorites and highly recommend.

    Came here at 11:30 PM and stayed until closing. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the café was active and my friend and I were not the only ones with the idea to get coffee at midnight. Even though it was busyish, the atmosphere was relaxed and the noise level was minimum. When ordering, the cashier was super sweet and gave wonderful recommendations. We ordered a hot tiramisu latte, hot coconut latte (decaf), and a pistachio croissant. We sat at a corner table and were brought our coffee and pistachio croissant quickly. The croissant was heavenly, it wasn't too sweet or heavy and a pleasant surprise was that there was strawberries inside of it. Would definitely recommend that you try it. Both lattes were great, the coconut latte was delicious and I would definitely recommend it. Overall it was a great experience and I plan on checking out Shaghf Cafe again.

    Stopped by here with a friend to try out their coffee, TikTok has wrangled me once again. The inside is big, very spacious and honestly the decor is really cool as well. I wish I snapped a pic but didn't want to take any pics of people relaxing and enjoying themselves. The barista was friendly and answered any questions we had, the coffee was good just not as strong as I hoped. I did get a slice of carrot cake and it was delicious. My friend and I stayed for a while and chatted and it was the general vibe of everyone there. People were posted with laptops of groups catching up. Overall love the vibe of this place. Definitely have to come back to enjoy their patio when it's cooler outside!

    Dubai chocolate strawberry cup
    Karen W.

    This is the place to go if you want to try Dubai chocolate. The Dubai chocolate strawberry cup is truly amazing. It was filled with a generous portion of juicy ripe strawberries, chocolate, pistachio cream with crunchy knafeh bits. It was so decadent and definitely a good portion to share with others. Service was fast and friendly. When we were here there was also live music and the musician was playing classic soft rock hits. Guilty feet have got no rhythm but they can definitely walk over to Shaghf for a tasty treat! P.S. If you don't know Arabic, shaghf means passion!

    Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cups $12.91

    Tried this place out Sunday since we were in the area. It's pretty inside. Lots of black, gold, green and neutral decor. The gold monkeys hanging on the rope holding lightbulbs were cute. Kinda looks like something you'd see on the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. The owner was nice. He took time to answer our questions and explain what was in certain drinks that we were curious about. Luckily, it wasn't busy at the time so we weren't rushed. As soon as we finished ordering, it got super busy! I meant to order the Pistachio Latte but accidentally ordered the Frappe. It was good but I wanted coffee. Was going to order the Dubai Chocolate Bar but he said it would take an hour. My friend also realized she should've ordered a coffee instead of the Cookie Frappe. Can't remember if she liked it or not. She also ordered a Nutella Croffle for her kids. She said that was pretty good. I saw someone bring out Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cups so I got back in line and ordered one! Price is more reasonable here ($12.91) than the last place I tried it at. They also had a good amount of pistachio cream layered in. There wasn't enough kataifi though. It was only sprinkled on top. I would try a coffee if Im ever in the area again. The Pistachio Crepe look good too so maybe I'll try that as well next time.

    Habibi Latte
    Lindsey G.

    Absolutely beautiful inside and out! There was only one other group of two at the cafe when a friend and I stopped by on a Saturday and I wish more people were filling up this cafe. The woman working was very kind and helped us decide what to order and made our drinks very quickly. She even gave my daughter a little chocolate which was very sweet and thoughtful. I had the habibi iced latte and it was delicious! Lots of drinks to try and I would recommend anyone looking for a cafe to stop in and enjoy the beautiful Shagf cafe!

    Love the ambiance

    What a great addition to Tempe's coffee scene! I've had the chance to visit Shaghf Cafe a few times now and it's such a unique coffee meet up. A little ducked off of the Main Street of Apache in a strip mall, this cozy spot has the sweetest baristas. The service is always great and they have so many selections I can't wait to try more. I've still yet to try any of their food items but they look so delish! It's aesthetic, it's cute, it's delicious, and it's got culture. What more could you ask for in a coffee shop!

    I love how one Yelper Sabine T wrote," this stunning cafe comes to our desert from another desert around the world (the UYE)." This is a coffee shop established in the UAE since 2018, and cool to have this here in Phoenix! Tonight, after yoga class, I needed to catch up on some work and I was in Tempe. This coffee shop came up in my searches as closing late and this has been a place on my list to visit, so I popped in around 7pm. The place is very close to ASU and in a shopping plaza with lots of other stores. Ample parking available in shared lot. The place is very inviting and spacious. It's probably one of the most diverse places I have been here in Phoenix. Lots of students too and many studying. I love the ambiance here, lots of cool lights and decorations (including sculpture monkeys hanging off ropes with lights). And the music they played was poppy, happy music, almost identical to my own play list. The workers here are very friendly and helpful. The woman that took my order was very sweet. I wanted to try the karak chai and she gave me a sample of it. It's a bit like Indian chai with lots of spices and not sweet at all. I loved it! I also tried the Dubai chocolate as I saw lots on social media about it. For close to $9, I think next time I'll pass. It's kind of a novelty and curiosity got to me haha. It's pistachio flavored and it's really good, but you have to consume it immediately as it will melt. I didnt know that, so by time I wanted to eat more of it, it had mostly melted on my plate! When it's melted, it tastes a bit like a pistachio flavored Nutella. I enjoyed getting work done here and I sat at a high top seat facing the parking lot as there were outlets available there. The coffee shop has good traffic in and out, was clean and just a great atmosphere to work. And it's open until midnight on weeknights and 1am on weekends! I'll definitely be back again! Great addition near ASU campus!

    Habibi coffee
    Hailey R.

    Overall a cute little cafe. Some friends and I stopped in mid afternoon on a Friday to try some coffee and Dubai chocolate. The interior is cute and it wasn't overly busy but there were other tables of people. I ordered the Dubai chocolate and habibi coffee half sweet. The coffee was decent but still pretty sweet. We weren't sure what to expect for the chocolate but it was decent. I do think it would be nice for a cafe to give you washable glasses and mugs if you sit down in the cafe instead of plastic. Lastly, I understand that cleaning is important but an employee was vacuuming the whole cafe while we were there and it made it hard to have a conversation and really ruined the ambiance.

I had their regular cold brew with a splash of cream and a Sunrise Sandwich- both were so good! The cold brew had a lovely aftertaste that in my opinion, reminded me of dark chocolate and whiskey. Service was also fantastic- the lovely barista was thorough in her explanations of each cold coffee option to help me find what I was looking for! My sandwich was also lovely- the Sunrise Sandwich on an Everything Bagel is easily my favorite breakfast sandwich in Tempe. The Basil Pesto adds a bit of freshness to an otherwise very rich sandwich. Also stopped in a few more times on my evening walks for a Lavender Haze (seasonal earl grey sage honey drink: EXCELLENT!) and their seasonal energy drink- it was a Sunset Spritz (energy with grapefruit pink cordial): both delicious. Happy to say service has improved greatly. Employees are on task and happy to answer my questions. The drinks on the seasonal menu are very good, and their classics are also great. If you're going to go soon, I'm a big fan of the Sage honey and a big fan of the cordial syrup on the 2026 Spring Menu. Will definitely be hitting Infusion up for some future study sessions.

Nomad Boba is a cozy Vietnamese inspired boba shop with cute honeycomb and bee style decor. There is seating inside on some couches. I would say it's best served for smaller groups of 2-3 people if they're not busy. The owner has always been pleasant, and it's usually just him running the shop, so you may have to wait a tiny bit to place your order if he's making drinks. Nomad Boba definitely leans on the sweeter side for boba shops. I'm typically a 25% sugar level kind of boba drinker, but I have consistently found Nomad Boba way too sweet for me even at 25% sugar level. I'm also not the biggest fan of their matcha blends. For drinks, I would highly recommend their Thai teas. They offer different blends of Thai teas! It's up there for one of the better Thai teas I've had in Arizona so far. What's interesting is that their Thai tea is a little smoky. I love it for that intrigue. Nomad Boba is a little difficult to find in the Culdesac if you're not looking for it. You have to walk toward street side to find it. They offer some fun drinks that other boba shops don't, so it's definitely worth checking out at least once.

The flavor combination was fantastic and very well balanced. The boba itself was a nice texture and it was FRESH. Everyone in my party really enjoyed their drinks. I will be back for sure.
