Absolute Perfection! Hands Down the Best Coffee in Arizona! My husband and I are avid flavored latte lovers, and wherever we travel, we make it our personal mission to hunt down the absolute best lattes in the area. Now that we live here, we dedicate one day a week to exploring a brand-new local coffee shop. We've been living in Arizona for 7 years now, and after visiting The Coffee Builders in Phoenix this week, my only question is: Where has this place been all our lives?! This incredible hidden gem is tucked away in the Warehouse District and is a bit out of sight--you'd likely never just stumble across it unless you were explicitly looking for it. But the moment you walk through the doors, you are transported. The architectural design is completely unexpected, modern, and striking--especially the gorgeous, geometric upside-down wooden pyramids stretching across the ceiling. It creates an upscale, unique atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Now for the main event: the drinks and food. I ordered the Orange Blossom Latte and my husband ordered The Slopes. Both drinks were absolutely outstanding. They were rich, velvety, thick, and incredibly creamy with deep, distinct flavor profiles. Best of all, they weren't overly sugary--which is huge for us since we typically prefer our coffee at half-sweetness. To pair with our drinks, we tried the Blueberry Bourbon Maple Pastry. It was phenomenal: flaky on the outside, light and pillowy-creamy on the inside, beautifully balanced, and generously loaded with fresh blueberries. The staff was highly professional, exceptionally welcoming, and deeply knowledgeable about their shop and everything on the menu. From this day forward, The Coffee Builders is officially our #1 favorite coffee shop in AZ. Do yourself a favor, make this a top priority on your bucket list, and treat yourself--you will not be disappointed!
Very cool inside. Awesome smooth coffees. Good food. Only comment I personally would lighten up on the artificial smoke flavor on chicken bbq honey sriracha lavash. I will try something else next time. Not sure if in bbq sauce or something else. Deviled eggs tasty. Great service. Order at counter and they deliver to your table. Lots of secure parking within lot.
This is such a cute and vibey coffee shop in downtown Phoenix! They had so many drink and food options to choose from! The inside was beautiful and luxurious with plenty of seats! Service was quick and drinks came out quickly! I can't wait to go back to try some food!
Boss took me for a belated birthday lunch. She's been here before and really enjoys it, and I can see why. The interior itself is very nicely decorated - comfortable and welcoming. Despite the small size, there is plenty of seating. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and service was excellent. Order at the counter and then they bring it to your table. Part of the menu changes based on the theme. Looks like we were there for the America 250 theme. I had the Dark Chocolate Chai (iced) which was delicious! Boss went with one of the state themed drinks. I think it was South Carolina. She loved it too. We shared the sandwiches - the Fire Roasted Chicken Salad, which is what the boss orders all the time apparently; and the Prime, Pimento and Blue Panini whichay be my favorite. I just love beef and blue cheese! The chicken was very good too, and there were several things on the menu that I'd love to try. This is a great little spot and I can see why she stops in regularly. It's out of the way for me, but maybe next time I'm up the street for a DBacks day game I'll drive a little further south for a sip and a bite!
Cute and cozy spot. I ordered an iced birthday cake latte along with the avocado toast and added a hard boiled egg on top. While the latte wasn't as sweet as I typically like them, I enjoyed it and it even came with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles. I was a little skeptical when they bought the avocado toast.. it looked interesting. I was surprised how all the ingredients worked well together. I would definitely recommend this spot and be back!
Wow, this place is so cool! They have such an impressive variety of unique coffee drinks. The interior is super upscale and modern.. it has such a great vibe. I tried the Purple Bee, and it was fantastic! I only stopped by because I was visiting from out of town, but if I lived in the area, I would definitely be here all the time
My first time trying Coffee Builders since I happened to be in the area, and funnily enough... I don't even drink coffee! I was hoping they'd have some good tea options too, and they absolutely do. I ordered the iced peach black tea, and it was incredibly refreshing with a really nice peach flavor that wasn't overly sweet. The cashier was also super helpful in walking me through the menu and helping me decide what to order, which made for a great first impression. For breakfast, I got the avocado cream. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the chive cream was an absolute standout, it was so flavorful and ended up being the perfect dip for bites of the avocado toast. My only complaint is that it was pretty cumbersome to eat as served. I basically had to deconstruct the whole thing to enjoy it, so I think a different presentation would make the dish even better. The atmosphere was another highlight. It felt much more like a cocktail lounge than your typical coffee shop, which made it a really enjoyable place to sit and relax. Even though I can't personally vouch for the coffee, I had such a great experience that I can't wait to come back and next time I'll bring one of my coffee-loving friends to see if the coffee lives up to everything else!
Another excellent coffee shop in Phoenix! There were so many drink options that it was hard to choose but I went with the staff recommendation- the slopes, a blueberry favored latte. It was delicious! I ordered to go and didn't get to enjoy the lovely indoor space. There is also an outdoor space too.
This coffee shop looks like something you would see in a design builder studio. The inside looks designer, sophisticated, 80's wood inspired. Not one detail was overlooked, even the bar stools are purposefully chosen. Either the owner hired a designer, is married to one or they are in the developer business/community. In my travels throughout the world I have never seen this attention to detail for a 1000sq ft (at most) coffee shop. That being said the coffee is top notch. I was on the go and wish I had more time to soak up the synergy created in this space. I noticed Lots of business type patrons, not too many causal dressed clients. Proximity to downtown Phoenix, could be the cause. I will come back to try more of the star wars inspired drinks and from what I saw the food looks spectacular. I hope they are open late, as this could be a true date night spot.
Wow was a cute find! Nestled back in an industrial area, I was surprised to walk into such a fashionable, warm, welcoming coffee shop! I heard they go all out on themes (like Star Wars). After much discussion with the wonderfully helpful barista, I settled on the ceremonial iced matcha with a shot of rose, and the fruit bowl which is quite big! Cute patio with misters, or luxurious indoor velvet seats with speakeasy vibes. Definitely an unexpected find.
I didn't know what I was getting myself into before I walked into this place, but I'm glad I did. Someone really loves Star Wars. They had Lego Star Wars on tv. They had yoda balls. They had a full sci-fi menu. But they also had very nice people working, tasty food and a nice hot latte. That's exactly what I needed after a morning flight. I'd definitely go back the next time I fly into the Phoenix airport!
What a cute coffee place! The customer service is excellent and i love the variety on coffee lattes. I want to return for their themed days but it makes it hard since i work until 4pm This is a great place for social workers to rest and wait for your next appointment and purchase a coffee and some yummy food.
This is probably one of my favorite coffee shops in Phoenix. The inside of the shop is contemporary but has a speakeasy type of feel. They also have an outdoor patio. There's tons of gluten free options. I got the matcha latte with almond milk and a gluten free waffle. Everything was so good. I love their presentation. The service was quick and courteous. I love their attention to details. Definitely be back when I'm closer to downtown.

Came from St. Louis to visit my Dad and he said we had to go. We came for the Harry Potter Pop-Up and it definitely met the expectations. The hardest part was having to pick the drinks. The shop was decorated very well to the Harry Potter theme. The drinks were very flavorful and the pastries were amazing. The staff were very nice and friendly. We will definitely be back here! read more

I came here on a trip from Los Angeles. The espresso was amazingly smooth, the woodworking on the tables and walls can be admired by anyone because sitting down and being surrounded by it inside exudes quality! The service here is excellent, and so accommodating. They accidentally brought out the wrong order, and immediately corrected it without question! A fantastic experience on my last day here. read more

I came in and got a chocolate pistachio specialty latte. It was very well balanced and not too sweet. When I visited again I ordered a chai and i'm pleased to say it was one of the best chais in the valley. The staff is extremely kind and never giving bad energy, the space and lighting inside is beautiful. Also there is a wide selection of house-made pastries along with breakfast/lunch menu read more

It's rare, but I love when service, vibes and quality align. Fortunately, that was the case with The Coffee Builders. This unassuming building might be one of the best designed coffee spaces in the valley, but the service and quality of coffee shine. The simple things matter, like being called by your name as your coffee is handed to you or like being handed a new drink the baristas are trying out free of charge (it was excellent). I'll be back! read more

Got a chance to visit this fun little spot right outside of downtown Phoenix and enjoyed everything about the atmosphere, the food, and the drinks. Everything was beautifully curated by the owner and the staff including the decor and the all the menu items. The staff were amazing and so helpful. We got a chance to chat with the owner for a bit, who you can tell is someone genuinely invested in his employees and guests that visit this coffee shop. This entire concept is in a class of its own and it's a must visit local business! read more
