    Iced Dirty Chai
    Abraham C.

    I saw on the city's Facebook page that a new coffee shop had opened in the old firehouse, and had to stop by! It's exciting to see local business open with a fresh and welcoming aesthetic, and this is just that. I walked into the space, and although small, it was modern, cozy, and Monique (one of the owners) was extremely friendly. I ordered a dirty chai and have no complaints! I highly recommend you stop by and give them a visit when you can!

    Brand new coffee cafe in El Mirage! It's called The Grind Cafe and it's part of The Station, which will feature a few different business and spaces to be rented out. This used to be the El Mirage fire station which is so cool! I really enjoyed my latte, but they also have breakfast items, cinnamon rolls, and more. Everyone was so nice and friendly! I highly suggest checking them out.

It's definitely CHURRO. Fair priced for a small business hustle. I also noticed they give free coffees to police and military, which is important to me. Stop by if you're driving by! Their other drinks also look delicious.

It is a coffee truck but while talking with an employee I was told there there daily. They had a good selection of drinks for their February menu as well as their usuals. I noticed right away the add on their truck stating free 16oz drip coffee to Military and Police with ID. How cool is that? Service was friendly and after looking over the menu we ordered the Dulce De Leche Cold Brew and a La Guera Chai. Both came out with the cutest pink bow. My daughter really loved that small touch. Both drinks were delicious. Prices are fair. They are located in front of Rally's so there is paring there if needed, but there is a good size area to street park right in front as long as tons of cars aren't there at once. Vibe is laid back, but not much for obvious decor as it's a truck and right off the road. There is no seating etc. It's take it and go.

    My favorite coffee shop in Surprise! I cannot wait to go back! I loved all of their Valentine's…read morespecials. They have some merch for you to browse and purchase. They also have a lot of pre-packaged treats. This place is definitely meant for folks who love their drinks on the sweeter side. I had friends who did not enjoy their drinks because they were too sweet but it was perfect for me. Staff was extremely friendly and it was very heart-warming to see how they knew their regulars and their orders so well. The love potion (strawberry white mocha) was my favorite. They have seating indoors and outdoors.

    Spencer's Place is more than just a coffee shop -- it's a neighborhood community hub with heart…read more Tucked right into a residential area, it has that cozy, local hangout vibe where you can tell regulars stop in often. But what really makes this place special is their mission. They hire individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively invest in the community -- from vendor markets to hosting events like their upcoming 5K. You can feel that purpose woven into everything they do. We tried one of their themed drink flights (the Sweet Heart menu was adorable -- Love Potion, Love Struck, To The Moon & Back... so cute). The presentation in the little mason jars was fun and picture-worthy. Flavor-wise, they leaned sweeter than my personal preference, but still enjoyable and perfect if you love flavored lattes. They offer plenty of milk options, including non-dairy, which I appreciate. Bakery - vegan and gluten-free options clearly labeled. I grabbed the lemon scone (vegan + GF). It was good! I'm personally more of a vegan-but-not-gluten-free girl, so texture-wise it's not something I'd specifically crave again -- but I absolutely appreciate that they create inclusive options. My friend had the cinnamon roll and was happy. They also have a small retail section with mugs, shirts, local honey, and little gift items, which adds to the community feel. Overall, this isn't a hyper-trendy, third-wave coffee aesthetic spot -- it's something better. It's purpose-driven, inclusive, and clearly loved by the neighborhood. Not a five-star flavor experience for me personally, but an easy four stars for what they stand for and the impact they're making.

    Fun eclectic coffee shop with unique drinks and comfortable seating. If you love fun and cozy…read moreshops, Wild Pine should be on the top of your list to check out! I came on a Monday around noon and while it got a little busy, it wasn't too loud or too crowded. I was able to read a book in peace and enjoy my very large coffee. The staff are extremely friendly and are very helpful with explaining the menu and how the shop operates. Plus they have cute stickers! I ordered the Lost Dutchman (with oatmilk) Spring Speciality drink. It was delicious, the flavors were pronounced and the coffee was strong!!! If you like flavored coffee but still want to be able to enjoy the coffee taste, this is your place to check out!

    First steps into the door and "Whoa, cool!" The place is adorable, cool, hip, kitschy, quirky, fun,…read moreoh and CLEAN! Plants all around (mmmm oxygen), the coolest mural on one large wall, perfectly matched mismatched seating groups, dark colors, muted lighting, books on the wall, so much to see that my neurospicy brain was in HEAVEN. They offer all sorts of drinks (hot and cold) - coffee tea energy juicy drinks adult drinks and more - plus some yummy options for snackiez (the z is intentional!). Staff super friendly, offered us a punch card, brought our order right to us quickly and with a smile. Our coffees were tasty and piping hot (I got the Goddess Energy - oh so sinfully cinnamony!) and he got the Cannon Beach (salted caramel for the mouthful of win). I had a good old fashioned toasted Everything bagel and they do NOT skimp on the cream cheeze (yep with a z) TYVM. PS-- Not to mention...located on their website is the full story of the owner and how Wild Pine came to life, totally heartwarming!!! Definitely definitely will be going back!

However, it's not really a dedicated coffee shop since you order at the side of the bar and then can sit in the dining area or the lounge, and there aren't pastries, but it's a great place to meet for coffee if a quiet and beautiful setting is important to you. It would be nice if they served in non disposables when you're not getting to-go to up the feel of a special cafe. Give it a try and remember what it's like to enjoy a cup of coffee in a special setting.

I'd heard a little rumbling about Birdies Coffee Lounge which sits inside the Palmbrook in Sun City. The views of the golf course are beautiful from here. You can't miss where you need to be with the huge white double doors. Once inside you will see assorted large rooms where wedding receptions, celebrations of life and more may be celebrated. Veer your eyes a little to the left and you'll see where the coffee lounge is which is also a full bar. I was a bit confused at first because it was in a bit of disarray with stools pushed back from the bar and tables covered. A wonderful woman soon came out from the back and when I asked if they were open she stated they were closed until October 18th for remodeling and so other things. I let her know it stated they were showing open online when she quickly apologized. We got to talking and she offered to make me a coffee though options were limited due to the closure. That was so sweet of her. Of course my go to is cold brew which they didn't currently have, but let me tell you she made me the best iced americano I've ever had. With just a splash of half and half and sf vanilla I was in heaven. Even the color was on point. When you know you know. The location again is beautiful and better than I'd imagined before opening that first set of doors. I can't wait to come back when they reopen. So bookmark this spot and come support this local spot. Even through the chaos of their remodel they made us feel so welcome and stopped what they were doing to allow me to purchase my coffee. I didn't take many pics because I want to give it the best impression it deserves.
