    Came for the Noah Kahan drink special & so glad I did! This coffee is so delicious. Very coffee forward and not overly sweet, which I love. Also a very nice atmosphere and good seating in the back.

    Checked this amazing coffee shop out in downtown on friday with a friend. We were greeted when we walked in and checked out their menu (lots of options)! A kind lady walked us through their coffee and backstory a bit and helped us decide on what to get. We decided on the 'la dorna' and they were also giving out samples of their delicious cookies that were soft and sweet! They offered alternative milk which was great for me. They told us there was an area to check out in the back and the ambience was so relaxing back there. Our coffees were brought out to us and the kind gentleman told is to sip the espresso on its own before mixing it together. Literally the best espresso ever, it had so much flavor just on its own ! Mixed up my drink and it had such a sweet balance between the brown sugar and the espresso that came through nicely. Genuinely believe this was the best coffee I've ever tried + excellent customer service! Can't wait to come back and try their food options!

    Come on into the cafécito, and ask for John! Seriously exciting b/w photography reminiscent of Humans of New York by an up-and-coming photographer identifiable by his style and local connections. Jack is serving weekly roasted Cuban café (con leche) with a giant cinnamon sugar cookie or coffee cake (you choose - cookies were more moist, in my experience). If you work through lunch, the melty gooey Cubano Sammy is what grilled cheese dreams are made of. Thrift for buying with purpose upstairs!

    The best coffee shop in Downtown Phoenix, and I don't say this lightly. The coffee is exceptional, and all has a Cuban flair. Try the Cafe Con Leche on ice and they'll tell you the best way to enjoy the flavor. The beans are all fresh roasted. Everything here is made from scratch. Grab a cubano or a fresh made cookie. Or an empanada. Or some of their top tier black beans and rice. You cannot go wrong. The people who own this place are somehow even better than their food. Warm, friendly, and committed to making everyone's day a bit better. The space reflects the personality of the owners, warm and inviting and full of character. This is the sort of locally owned, community focused gem we can never have enough of. Walk through this unassuming glass door down on Central. You'll be so glad you did.

    Service was amazing, very kind and informative. Place had a nice atmosphere and had confortable seating and lots of plants which I enjoyed. Coffee was delicious. I got a "La Dorna" and " La Galleta" both had very nice flavor and the coffee cookie was delicious. Would go back again one of my favorite coffee shops I've ever been to!!!

    Blueberry Lemon Loaf, Breakfast Sandwich and an empty coffee!

    I have been reviewing on Yelp for over 5 years and this is the first time I have written a review based on someone else's opinion, however, when your SunDevil Daughter texts you from college to ask you to review because the place is so AMAZING you have to! Let me first say it is apparently a thrift store with a breakfast/coffee shop so you are not confused when going there. It is right by the downtown ASU campus and seems to be a favorite of the students. My daughter ordered a cookie butter flavored coffee, breakfast sandwich and Blueberry Lemon loaf which she said all tasted yummy! She also said that someone had taken their sandwich so when she told the lady at the counter they not only quickly made them a new one they gave them two cookies even though it was not their fault. My daughter mentioned how friendly and kind the employees were to everyone that came in. I can't wait to check out the place myself on our next visit.

    One of the best coffee shops in the downtown area. Very easy to miss spot from outside but once you go in it looks very cute. The staff is super friendly and gave free samples of their fresh made cookie, which was very tasty. The coffee is really delicious as well. They do add brown sugar to their espresso and I forgot to say no sugar but they were very happy to remake the drink without even asking them to do so.

I've only heard great things and it was such a pleasure to make a visit. The interior is ultra modern, and art-centered. On a Wednesday morning, there was one staff member holding it down and a wait/line with about 5-6 people, so the wait was about 15-20 minutes in total-- including ordering and waiting for drinks. There was mainly only paid street parking options, but it wasn't hard to find any right in front of the shop. I got two drinks: Más and Abeja, to try their matcha and coffee, and really thoroughly enjoyed both. The matcha is a little bit on the milkier side, but I did enjoy that it was completely unsweetened, and leaned on the vanilla cold foam for a light sweetness. I think I enjoyed the coffee more personally, as the honey paired super well with the espresso and oat milk. The espresso is very good. I would come back if I was in the area, I just wish the parking situation was a little different!

I got the lechera latte and it was delicious. It was rich and not overly sweet. Would love to visit again and try more drinks next time.

The ambiance, drinks, and service were all great! There is an entrance to Lola Coffee from Roosevelt and another from the back near parking spaces. There is a restroom near the back entrance, and the start to the line to place an order is right near the front entrance. I saw in one of the comfy chairs while I waited for my former student to arrive. At that point, we moved to a regular table and then went and ordered drinks. She ordered a coffee, and I ordered a lemonade. We both enjoyed our drinks which were ready very quickly. There were smaller and larger tables, and there were also countertops along with business cards and marketing items at the back of the room on a thin table. Lola Coffee began with humble beginnings going back to 1992 with a cart, then Lux Coffee, and eventually Lola Coffee downtown. Now, there is even a second Lola Coffee location in Arcadia near 40th Street and Indian School. Today, they serve coffee, pastries, and breakfast. The Downtown Phoenix location hours are weekdays from 6:30 AM to 7 PM and weekends from 7 AM to 7 PM. You can see their menu, history, photos, and more on their website (https://lolacoffeebarphx.com). While I had trouble choosing between a lemonade for a cold beverage or hot chocolate for a warm beverage, it's great they have so many options. Again, try them for drinks, breakfast, or pastries. Their staff is so helpful and the actual restaurant is quite welcoming to everyone.

I came in the late afternoon to this bakery/coffee house combo, and I was pleasantly surprised with the environment. Lots of natural light and easy-going atmosphere. It was a small shop, but still had good seating. I ordered a prickly pear espresso tonic and got a bag of beans as well. I had a great interaction with the barista and she recommended me some good beans to take home. The tonic itself was very refreshing, and I was happy to have it on one of the hottest days of the year up until then. Lovely vibes and the coffee is great. I think I want to come back to try their other espresso-based stuff to get a good gauge on how a flat white or cortado tastes. I'll definitely want to come back, especially to visit their larger location in Chandler.

The staff was knowledgeable and took the time to explain the menu, making the experience approachable even for a first-time visitor. I decided to try one of their signature kava beverages, and I was pleasantly surprised by how intriguing and complex the drink was. The flavor profile was unlike anything I had experienced before--earthy, bold, and distinctive in a way that felt both adventurous and refined. More importantly, the effects were exactly as described. As I enjoyed my drink, a gentle sense of relaxation gradually settled in, leaving me feeling calm, centered, and remarkably at ease without any sense of heaviness. What I appreciated most was how the experience encouraged mindfulness and connection. Lacuna offers something refreshingly different from a traditional coffee shop or cocktail lounge, creating an environment where conversation flows naturally and relaxation takes center stage. Whether you're curious about kava for the first time or already familiar with its calming properties, Lacuna Kava Bar is absolutely worth a visit. The combination of a welcoming atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, and a truly distinctive beverage experience makes it a standout destination. I left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and looking forward to my next visit.

    Absolute Perfection! Hands Down the Best Coffee in Arizona!…read more 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!
