    The cutest little place and the sweetest employee! I've been dying to come here and I can't wait to come back. We got a strawberry and banana smoothie, it was so refreshing! Perfect little evening drink with nice weather

    Today, my usual coffee routine took a detour when I stumbled upon The Black Sheep, a charming spot tucked away in the heart of Downtown Glendale. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by an incredibly inviting atmosphere that masterfully blends industrial cool with quirky coziness. The concrete floors and sleek, matching polished counters give it an undeniably modern, industrial edge. Yet, this is beautifully softened and enlivened by the fantastic hand-painted art on the brick walls. It's funky, it's artistic, and it somehow feels both edgy and incredibly welcoming; a truly unique vibe that instantly makes you want to settle in and stay a while. As an appreciative patron of plant-based options, I was thrilled to see their menu had a vegan option. I indulged in their vegan grilled cheese sandwich. Pressed in a panini maker, it was crispy on the outside, gooey and savory on the inside. Beyond the food and drinks, the experience was elevated by the genuinely friendly staff. They were welcoming and efficient, and it was lovely to see them taking the time to chat and laugh with their regulars, creating a real sense of community and warmth. The prices were extremely reasonable. It's refreshing to find a place that offers such great value without compromising on quality or atmosphere. The Black Sheep isn't just another coffee shop; it's a vibrant, welcoming haven that hits all the right notes. Good food and drinks, a unique and cozy atmosphere, and wonderful service, all at a great price. Consider me a new regular.

    Peso provolone sandwich with turkey and iced pumpkin chai with pumpkin cold foam.

    Great coffee and bites! The shop is also a great place to study, work, or hang out. The staff is very friendly. When you arrive, you will need to park in the back (next to the Glendale Courthouse). There should be a rear entrance to The Black Sheep from the parking lot. I recommend the pesto provolone sandwich with turkey and a side of their chipotle sauce. In the fall, they also have a delicious pumpkin cold foam. It's made in-house with real ingredients - not processed.

    I've been working at coffee shops this week and thought i'd be coffee out. But The Black Sheep is incredible. Nestled in Downtown Glendale, this is an open space with great coffee and even better service. I ordered an iced The Emily- Salted Caramel Latte with Irish Cream Cold Foam. It was the perfect weekday pick me up. It had the warm sweetness of the caramel and irish cream that's cut by the salt and coffee flavor. Cute spot to stop in. It's open until 8 PM so it'd be a great place to get a warm drink during Glendale Glitters.

    Iced Mocha!

    Great Mocha. Service was quick and friendly. Neat little shop. Didn't have one but their pastries looked amazing. I'll have to try one of their cinnamon rolls next time I'm in. Now go get you some.

    Cold brew with strawberry cold foam
    Payton N.

    Easily my favorite coffee shop! The food and drinks are amazing. I LOVE their chocolate cold brew with peanut butter cold foam. The staff are always super friendly too! It's a great place to grab a drink and hang out.

    Iced Irish cream Amaretto
    Joshua B.

    Absolutely loved my visit to Black Sheep Coffee! I ordered an iced Irish cream amaretto coffee--it was smooth, perfectly balanced, and had just the right hint of sweetness. For food, I had the spinach and cheese panini with added turkey and a side of chipotle aioli. The panini was fresh and flavorful, and the chipotle aioli took it to another level. The atmosphere was cozy, the staff was friendly, and everything was made with care. Definitely one of my new favorite coffee spots in Glendale!

    Staff was so nice, great place to stay & study. Prices were average and I loved my smoothie.

    Had a great time with the fam on spring break enjoying some drinks and treats. This place never disappoints just a good place to grab something and a space to work or chill. Great people making drinks taking your order and helping you break free from ordinary cus life's better when you're different, and when the world looks down on different you feel at home at black sheep coffee

    Cute coffee shop in Downtown Glendale. Easy parking everywhere. Nice place to hang out or sit and read. Highly recommend!

    Matcha latte & lavender

    Looking around spontaneously for a coffee shop and bump into thee. They have a lot of good options, iced and hot. I got a 20z Matcha latte with lavender syrup. It was tasteful ... 4/5 Service was wonderful, the girls were sweet.

    This lil coffee shop is in the heart of downtown Glendale and I had no idea? Wow!! Such a cute cafe with homey vibes and amazing staff! You feel welcomed as soon as you walk in and the menu seems to change often based on the baristas choices! How fun to be creative with the drinks. So far I've really enjoyed all of Jazz's creations like the Mexican Mocha Latte and Horchata Latte. The valentines menu was by far a favorite of mine! Strawberry matcha was delicioso!! For food I have only tried the chicken pesto panini press. Amazingly good and definitely ask for the chipotle side if you order this. I've been lucky to park in the spots near the entrance, I'm not certain if there is extra in the back. Found a new go to cafe for whenever I'm in Glendale. P.S the music is always poppin lol

    I visited at opening time on Memorial Day Monday and was immediately captivated by the colorful and…read morequirky environment, with playful and clever artwork and decor, and both indoor and outdoor seating available. Great music playing in the background set the mood, songs like Knock Three Times and Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond. The lady who helped me place my order, possibly the owner, was so sweet. Patient too, as I made my selections. It was hard to choose what to get as the shop has so many appetizing sweet and savory options on the menu. I ended up getting a chocolate milkshake and a 6-pack of oatmeal cookies I was able to take home and share, including chocolate chip (no nuts), chocolate walnut, peanut butter dark chocolate cashew, dark chocolate pecan, dark chocolate cashew, and oatmeal raisin with pecans (they have a nut-free version too). The taste of everything was phenomenal. The shake had the perfect consistency and a strong chocolatey flavor, yet wasn't too sweet. And the cookies were nice and chewy and loaded with delicious chunks of nuts and chocolate. Honestly, I couldn't really tell the difference between the nut and chocolate combo flavors as the oatmeal was really the highlight. The peanut butter one and oatmeal raisin were more recognizable. ALL of them were amazing!

Ordering is done at the back, and the tables up front make the perfect spot to sit, relax, and chat while enjoying your treats. Their menu is seriously impressive, with everything from coffee, smoothies, tea, and handspun milkshakes to savory lunch items like burgers, hot dogs, and wings, plus an incredible lineup of baked goodies including cookies, pie, cupcakes, cake pops, macarons, muffins, and more. I tried the sugar‑free dark chocolate goji berry gluten‑free cookie and WOW--it was delicious. The milkshakes are next‑level rich and creamy; my son couldn't get enough of his caramel shake. The savory lunch items looked so good coming out--perfect comfort‑food options that smelled amazing and made us immediately start planning our next visit.The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and patient, which we really appreciated since it was our first time and we took a while to decide. This place has such a fun, cozy, welcoming vibe, and we are absolutely coming back to try the lunch menu next time. Highly recommend checking it out!

    Anytime I get/ have to take a field trip for / during working hours, I always look to Yelp for…read morecoffee and or baked goods. I recently had to be in the downtown Glendale area - the Yelp machine recommended I hit up Blue Corn Cafe. There's some development / construction in the downtown area so parking is a little limited. However - I was able to snag a spot right along 58th Ave and get a good view of all the cute shops to check out at a later date. Blue Corn was surprisingly busy that morning due to hosting a Coffee with Cops event. I got the low down from a few of the GPD staff that they are consistently rated as one of the best cafes in the city, maybe even the West Valley. They have recently-ish opened up a second location in DT Mesa, which definitely fits their vibe. I was told the owner gets up early every day to bake - I love the dedication to his craft. Like many mom and pops, there are times when quantities are limited. So ofc I had to buy some baked goods to go for my work team! Their muffins are HUGE - like 2 -3 servings per *singular* muffin. I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought 6... hello carb heaven for us. I noticed a lot of sweet and savory options - croissant sandwiches, cookies, you name it. Definitely the muffins were well-enjoyed by all (PSL, lemon-blueberry, red velvet), and the general consensus was lemon blueberry as the winner. It's a small space with not a lot of seating options however there appears to be a back patio that might be shared with other restaurants. I couldn't get a view on my way out. Cannot wait for the next time that I'm in the area to grab more sweets!

    Came for a quick stop--left planning my next trip back. I had about a two-hour break during a track…read moremeet and noticed a small line forming outside this bakery in downtown Glendale--so I decided to go on a little adventure. This was my first stop, and I'm so glad it was. The café itself is absolutely charming--spacious, clean, and with plenty of seating. But what stood out immediately was the customer service. From the moment I walked in, everyone was smiling. You can tell this is a team that genuinely enjoys what they do. Despite the line, they were patient, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Their coffee selection is wide but not overwhelming. . I went with the matcha latte with pistachio, which was well-balanced. When it came to food, I couldn't decide between my usual go-to (broccoli and cheese quiche) or the bacon, spinach, and cheddar--or even the tomato basil, which sounded amazing. I asked the barista/ server to choose for me, and she recommended the bacon, spinach, and cheddar. It did not disappoint. The crust was thick and perfectly done, and the filling was layered and flavorful--just incredible. I also ordered an ube muffin and was given a complimentary lemon tart (no complaints here!). The ube muffin was exactly what you'd hope for--lightly sweet with a delicate blend of vanilla, nutty notes, and a hint of coconut. The lemon tart was perfectly balanced--bright, slightly tart, and complemented beautifully by the whipped topping. Before leaving, I grabbed a loaf of sourdough to go. They even offered to slice it for me--small detail, big win. And I have to say, coming from San Francisco, I do not say this lightly: this is hands-down some of the best sourdough I've had outside of San Francisco. Honestly worth the 45-minute drive just for that alone. I come from a background in the restaurant industry, and great service doesn't go unnoticed. Everyone here was attentive, kind, and truly invested in the experience they provide. The customer service alone is worth the visit. They so offer Panini's and daily soups.. Their menu changes daily. They also offer Louisiana hot sauce so someone knows what they're doing. I can't wait to bring my kids here next time. We will absolutely be back.

    I love 85 bakery cafe! This place is so delicious and addicting! I went to my first one in Las…read moreVegas and then realized we also had one in Arizona which is not too far from me so huge plus for me! I tried their Vietnamese coffee with the sea salt cold foam and I added brown sugar syrup to make it sweeter ( I like my coffee on the sweet side ) this was delicious! Loved it! You definitely taste the coffee but in a good way, if you love the taste of strong coffee you'll love this. When I first came here it was around 4PM and lots of their bakery items were sold out and they were done baking for the day since they close at 6PM. So my advice is to come when they open or around noon time to get more of a selection on bakery items. I went again the next day at noon and was able to score more bakery items to try! They were not as empty as it was my first time stopping by! Woohoo! I was able to get the Jalapeño cream cheese and wow yummy!! This one sells out quickly. I also got the salted butter bread and they seem to have this one more often but it also can sell out, it's also pretty good. I was able to get my hands on the choco bun and this has like a gooey chocolate fudge inside and it's almost like a molten lava cake!! I loved it honestly. I warmed mine up in the microwave when I got home for about 5-10 seconds and it was delicious. I got the sugared cream cheese brioche and this was also pretty darn good, this seems to sell out quickly! The Garlic cheese bread is so sooo good too! My son and hubby love this one. The chocolate hazelnut muffin is delicious as well! So many goodies here!! I LOVE their Thai Tea! I get this every time I come here. Their boba is freaking good too. Great flavors! If you have not tried out this bakery I definitely recommend trying it out for sure. The ambiance in here is pretty relaxed and a good vibe. You grab a tray when you walk in and start picking out your goodies! You can also just use the kiosk machine they have to get your drinks too!
