Wow***plus they have art and unique pieces all over, gems to find throughout your visit - even if it's just for a quick one. We stayed to play a whole game of chess - which I lost :( but definitely a nail biter. Another reason to get another drink!! So epic! Let's not forget the absolutely insane amount of uniquely chosen "spirits"/0% ABV concoctions they have along the wall, as well as their lovely baristas who are casually just as smooth as their almond milk and honey. I cannot. I must have one closer to me. Please. Bring one to Mesa! Lastly if y'all didn't know they also have open mic nights and other events here {gasp} need I say more? *Speakeasy right below to visit afterwards?* Say less.

Love this new coffee shop in town!…read more The moment I walked in, I got a fun Miami Cuban vibe with Latin music playing, tons of live plants, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. One of the coolest touches was that they sell plants in recycled bottleS...such a unique and creative idea! The service was incredibly friendly, and as a first-time customer, I got to try their snickerdoodle cookie. Let me just say... SO GOOD. Definitely worth ordering with your coffee. I ordered the iced café con leche, and it was amazing. Smooth, flavorful, and absolutely perfect for a hot Arizona summer day. It's always great to support a locally owned business, especially one that puts so much personality into the customer experience. I'll definitely be back!

We were greeted warmly and with a free cookie sample. Everyone was very friendly. Upstairs, the shop promotes thrifting as a way to reduce landfill waste and push back against throwaway culture. Downstairs, the cafecito serves delicious Cuban food and drinks, surrounded by local art and a spirit of connection. There is a 'Christmas Tree' in the back - at least, I called it that, but I was gently corrected: it's a place for people to voice their wishes and for visitors like me to come forward if they can make that wish come true. The whole place is welcoming, thoughtful, creative, and full of heart. I love a good coffee shop with a good mission! Metered parking outside and you know how downtown Phoenix goes when it comes to parking: it's hit or miss.

We had a private event on Sunday hosted here. Dylan, the owner hosted it. The place is definitely…read morevery cute. The selection of flowers was great. The Lavender Latte was ok. Nothing wow but definitely drinkable. What upset me the most was the food. Or should I say the lack of it. As a business owner myself I always make sure that I have everything in stock. Here we were supposed to have access to light breakfast which included bagels and cream cheese, well Dylan at that time didn't have cream cheese! One of the guests got just a toasted bagel! Another guest wanted to order a bagel with salmon and that wasn't available as well. Dylan stated "we got wiped out yesterday". Sir a piece of advice to you next time if you have a scheduled party, please restock all of your essential items. I just feel like it was unfair to the guests and especially the one who was celebrated.

A delightful little coffee shop. As you enter you're greeted by the welcoming scent of fresh…read moreflowers and calming music. We had a delicious half-caf Americano and a Mocha, along with some nice warm croissants and a breakfast sandwich. Everything was tasty and warm. The only major downside was the lack of recycling (AZ is crazy in this). If you're in the area, stop by!

**July 2026: Saturday Morning**…read more I visited Go Go Avocado when they were tabling at Uptown Farmers Market on Saturday morning. I was hot, sticky and iritable so filling me up with someone delicious was absolutely necessary! After browing the menu I decided to order the Elote Toast for $14, which came with fresh-baked sourdough, hand-mashed avocado, roasted corn, Valentina aioli, queso fresco, sunflower seeds, cayenne, and microgreens. I also added a fried egg for about $2. The Elote Toast was the perfect breakfast and really hit the spot. The thick toast had the ideal crunch, the avocado was abundant and creamy, and the microgreens added a nice fresh texture. I asked for my fried egg to be a little runnier, and they absolutely delivered. Honestly, it was just what I needed.

The interior is atheistic and great for photos!…read more I ordered their elote toast and matcha latte and both were good! If you visit during a weekend, expect to wait for 10-20 min to order and find a table. But overall, a great place to hang out with friends!

They're in Phoenix Wednesdays and Thursdays 9 am to 2 pm, Fridays 9 am to 1 pm, and Saturdays 9 am to 2 pm. They're in Buckeye Fridays 6 pm to 9 pm and Saturdays 5pm to 10 pm. Their hours may change, so I would check their social media before planning a visit. They have coffee (including decaf options), matcha, pastries and a big selection of house-made syrups. They currently offer some fall-themed treats and drinks, including vegan pumpkin donuts and the cute pumpkin bagel in my photo. If you go to the Phoenix location, there is no Nexo sign outside but it's in the little plaza on 16th St between Indian School and Osborn.

NEXO is a pop-up and seems…read moreto have recently opened, and operates out of the Her Lounge in Phoenix most of the week, or for curbside pick-up at a different location. The menu has so many drinks that sound delicious, and they're able to make most of them either coffee or matcha based! For my first visit, I ordered the earl gray matcha and the banana matcha, both with oat milk (which is their standard). As soon as I saw the drink colors, I knew I was going to get something good. All their syrups are housemade, which is such a plus for me, and you can tell because nothing tasted artificial in the slightest. The earl gray was delightfully floral, and had a strong flavor but didn't overpower the earthiness of the matcha. The banana was like a dessert, it was cinnamon forward, almost like eating banana bread and drinking a matcha with it! Even with such distinct flavors, the matcha was never lost in the drinks, and were so, so good! The ladies that worked there were super sweet, and got my drinks out SO fast, I was shocked. There was also no wait on a Friday morning. I will definitely be back, and I'm looking forward to trying more drinks off the menu! I'd love to try the coffee. I highly recommend this spot!

I got a coffee before my perusing, and i can say it's one of the better coffees i've had in the area. it was delicious and very easy to throw back.

The author event was organized and ran seamlessly. Such a great experience. Staff so nice. I will definitely be returning.

Best Busan Mart location. Best place for a quick snack. Amazing spot for a spontaneous, casual date…read morenight. My boyfriend and I are Busan Mart @ Culdesac regulars, and we have now purchased from virtually every section in this store. It has honestly never let us down. Some of our favorite reasons to stop by include: - Trying new ramen. Grab whatever sounds good, pay, and heat it up in the back! - Buying drinks. This location is stocked with our favorite UCC and Ito En caffeinated drinks, as well as tons of other Asian sweet drinks and soju. - Grabbing ice cream. Busan Mart is SO on top of trends. Viral crunchy fruit ice creams, peach popsicles, Melonas, etc. -- they have it all. - Eating kimbap. Spam + egg and fish cake versions are killer and discounted after 9pm. Top tier late night snack. We've even found the randomest helpful items, like a callus remover (perf for climbers), and cute affordable accessories and skincare. The Culdesac setting makes it all the more perfect, with chill and well-lit outdoor seating, a lovely neighborhood to walk through while snacking, and a guest parking lot. Love it here!!
