    The human bean is a great option when you want a coffee to go! They put a chocolate covered coffee bean on top of all the drinks which I love!! The prices are good and they have a great rewards program. The drive thru is always pretty fast. They have a wide selection of drinks to choose from. Today I ordered a large cold brew with chocolate cold foam and I enjoyed it. There's also a walk up window to order from, but I have never used it.

    The Human Bean is a pretty consistent espresso stand and you can actually taste the coffee, unlike other popular Northwest chains. I was visiting Phoenix and had a birthday offer to use, so I decided to stop in to this location. The drive thru was a bit busy, so I opted for the walk up window. Definitely a nice option if you don't want to wait in a line of cars! There is plenty of parking, so that wouldn't be an issue unless the drive thru was super backed up. The barista took my order in less than a minute and confirmed that the 24 ounce drinks have 4 shots, which is perfect for me. I always ask because some places skimp and only give you 2 or 3 shots in a 20+ ounce drink. My iced vanilla latte with almond milk was ready within a couple minutes. The drink was pretty good, almond milk usually throws the taste off a bit in iced drinks for me, but I try to avoid dairy. The chocolate covered espresso bean is always a highlight for me and transports me back to the tiny espresso stands in the Pacific Northwest where I grew up. Definitely worth trying if you are looking for a consistent and reasonably priced coffee spot!

    One iced, one iced but without ice! Haha

    FRIENDLY EMPLOYEES AND GOOD COFFEE! I have been to this chain only a couple times a while ago, but had a Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupon on the app I wanted to redeem. (Be sure to download the app for rewards and deals!) I stopped by this location and told the employee I was new to this establishment, and asked for some coffee recommendations. She recommended the Candied Peppermint Mocha, Cowabunga, and Sugar Mama. I ended up ordering the two latter suggestions. I asked to have one of them iced, and one of them made iced but without ice so I could stow it in the fridge for the next day. My drinks definitely delivered great taste! Also, if you don't like any of their specialty flavor combinations, they have a list of the flavors that they have. These flavors can be added to tea, coffee, energy drinks, or basically anything on the menu to create your dream flavor combination! It's a bit similar to the Dutch Bros menu model!

    Great service! I had a small iced caramel macchiato, and it was excellent. I loved the little chocolate covered espresso bean. So cute! I will be back!

Lots of parking in the garage and I'm pretty sure it's free. Went in through the back entrance and the space is bright, clean, with some greenery. Cool bar setup with baristas making specialty drinks. I was between 2 drinks and but got the Rafa (recommended). Sooo good. Got it with oat milk and it was creamy, smooth, not too sweet, with a subtle nutty buttery flavor. Barista handed it to me which was sweet. I saw another barista like delivering to people sitting so that's always nice. Also grabbed the Miso Pecan Spelt Cookie Crispy, chewy, not too sweet. I went right before 10am and some desserts were sold out already! I'd come back for sure. Sit down and try something else.

They have a lot of great drinks that are unique, I would definitely come back here again and try them all. It's pretty popular on the weekend in an unmarked plaza with decent amount of seating.

They don't have bahn mi sandwiches like an older review mentioned but they do have ready made cold cut sandwiches and freshly made açaí bowls. A pleasant surprise and our go-to for Vietnamese coffee at this point!

They have real plants placed in different areas of the cafe and everything seemed to be well maintained. Today we tried four different flavored Vietnamese coffees- pandan, ube, sea salt, and egg foam. All of the flavors were on point but one flavor that left an impression on me was the pandan flavor. It wasn't too sweet, yet you can taste the pandan flavor and it was easy to drink. If you haven't had Vietnamese coffees before and you are in Arizona, looking for caffeine refill, I highly recommend you go check out Cafe Mollie. This place offers plenty of free parking spaces.

    If I could give a place 10*s, Lux has more than earned the title…read more Cool space coffee shops are definitely a thing in Phoenix lately--but Lux was the "design-genius-with-a-latte-machine" long before coffee shops were even a thing here. I've been frequenting this architectural marvel for over 10 years. While so many new shops try to mimic this vibe, none of them are Lux. Lux is King! The 11-Year Flashback: I looked back at my review from 11 years ago when I docked them a star for the "nightmare parking." Back then, I was a "to-go" only person who never envisioned myself as a laptop-hipster hanging out. Well, times change! I'm bumping them up to 5 stars now. Maybe it's the new competition nearby or my better timing, but the parking is a breeze, and I've officially embraced the "comfy chair" lifestyle. The "Cheers" Factor: What really sets this place apart is the people. After a decade of visits, it truly feels like Cheers--where everybody knows my name! Getting to know the folks behind the counter makes every visit feel like coming home. The Sip of the Night: I shifted from my usual plain Cappuccino as my target drink to include in a review to feature their Espresso Martini. I went with a Reposado base instead of the typical vodka, and it was stellar. With two full bars in addition to the coffee and pastry bar, craft drinks truly abound here! (Note: they have an amazing cappuccino too) The Comfort Classics: You cannot leave without the food. My go-to favorites? The Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese and the legendary Chocolate Chip or Red Velvet cookies. Return Factor: 100% I've been coming here for a decade, and it's still the gold standard. As I said in my review 11 years ago: "I see a book, comfy chair and cocktail in my future! Stumble home... Repeat." Still true today! #PHXCoffeeShopTour #1CupAtATime #LuxCentral #PhoenixOriginal #EspressoMartini #FlashbackReview
