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. Glad to see Infusion takes customer feedback seriously.

There is plenty of seating that can accommodate different size groups. I went with a pour-over, Brazil at the recommendation of the barista. It did not disappoint, great flavor. The rest of our group were happy with their drink selections. The pastries were a good accompaniment. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. I will be visiting again.

I couldn't say enough about the coffee and great customer service at Shibam Coffee!…read moreDid you know Shibam is known for the oldest skyscraper city made out of mud? Super cool! I came here on a Sunday. Parking is available near the garage or street. The barista working that day was super helpful. He showed me the menu of different coffees and teas. I ordered the pistachio latte, date latte, and the Dubai chocolate cake. I adjusted the sugar content to 25% sweetness. All three items did not disappoint! I'm thought about it days after and can't wait to go back. Clean tables and inviting environment. I'll be back!

It's so cool to have a Yemeni coffee near ASU!…read more I didn't know much about Yemeni coffee and wanted to order a cold one. The staff was nice and friendly and let me know that the traditional Yemeni coffee was supposed to be hot. And glad I ordered a hot one - the coffee had a complex flavor with rich cardamom. It was definitely unique but not overwhelming at all. I also asked for less sweet and it was perfect. The coffee shop interior was clean, quiet, and welcoming. Would be a perfect spot to work and study.

It's not a place where you sit and hang out (unless I missed it). It's clean, quick service, order, pay, and go! FYI, if you want to use your card, there's 4% charge. Completely understand, since the CC companies charge small businesses a fee. So, just make sure to bring some cash with you if you want to avoid the fee. Not a big deal.

My friend and I arrived early afternoon and there was no line. However, more people came after we ordered. I didn't realize there was no seating. It's basically just a counter inside a small room within a collective. It's meant for grab-and-go. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee with ube cold foam and since I was visiting a friend after, I decided to bring her a matcha. I got her a matcha with ube cold foam. The Vietnamese coffee was nice and strong and the ube cold foam was a great addition. I had a sip of my friend's ube matcha and thought it was good, too. I would probably visit often if I was closer!

The shop offers a cozy spacious patio seating as well as some 5 top and 2 tops inside. Service was welcoming and friendly. It was our first times, I tried the cold Carmel macchiato coffee and it was perfect sweet to coffee ratio for me:) I would def order again. It's a nice meet up place or two f you want to have a meeting unless you sit on the patio during leaf blowing of trimming hour then you might have to yell every other sentence but other than that great and cozy!

Was looking for a nearby coffee spot after class and decided to try out Honey 2 a Bee. My low…read morerating is because I didn't love their matcha. To be fair, the employee gave me a warning that they use ceremonial matcha which is much stronger and asked me if I wanted to change it out for a more typical matcha powder they use for other drinks. I've had great ceremonial matcha before so I didn't think it would be a problem but for some reason I felt like my drink tasted so odd. I got their spanner matcha which was described to be salted maple flavoring. I'm not sure if it was the matcha or the maple but it had a weird aftertaste that I can seem to describe it other than an expired taste. Because the employee gave me a warning before I would go back and try something else in hopes of a better experience.

Among my friends I'm known as the coffee guy and the baker, and not only is their coffee excellent but they've got unbelievably good gluten free and vegan pastries. I'm not gf or vegan and yet I get those pastry options regularly because they are so good. The folks that work there are so friendly, after just two visits they were already treating me like a regular. The shop is inviting, cozy, and built for you to spend time there. They aim to build community and they are very forward with their beliefs, so you know the folks there are going to have the same values as you. Happy Pride! Love you Brick Road.

They were located in an industrial warehouse type area. The inside is super small and no tables. Right when you enter they have all the pastries laid out. Cookies, croissants, breads, cinnamon rolls, lots of options. We ordered 2 lattes- a pumpkin pie and caramelized pistachio. We got a breakfast sandwich, cinnamon roll and cookie. The pastries and sandwich were all fabulous! Great flavor and freshly baked. The lattes were a bit watered down and not a super strong bean. I would definitely go back for the pastries if I happen to be in the area on a weekday again.

Their americano ($4.69) has this natural sweetness at the finish that comes straight from the beans, not from anything added. Genuinely one of the best americanos I've had in my life. I liked it so much I bought a bag of their beans to take home. On the food side, I tried the cherry danish ($5.29) and the Crumbonne ($5.29). The Crumbonne is a fun concept, monkey bread in muffin form, but the texture fell a little flat and it didn't quite live up to the idea. The danish was fine, nothing memorable. That said, the experience was still a 5/5 for me. I visited around 9 AM when the shop was peaceful and easy to find a seat. Plus, the staff were memorably friendly. If you appreciate a truly well-crafted coffee, this is the spot. The Americano alone is worth the trip.
