The really friendly clerk asked where we were from, and how we'd found the place. Then he made us killer coffee. Delicious cubano with foam for miles. If we weren't just passing through, we'd become regulars! read more

I had the worst experience here. This young guy behind the counter was just staring into space when I got there and there were 2-3 people in the shop. He waits about 3 minute before taking my order (2 dirty chai lattes and 2 bagels) after about 5 minutes he puts up someone else's cold brew coffee...why that took him close to 10 minutes is beyond me. At this point a female employee shows up. The two of them begin a loud conversation about how they dislike the owner. Eventually my coffees and bagels come up. The drinks were only okay. I am giving them 2 stars instead of 1 because the female employee was thoughtful and offered to bag the bagels and got me a drink carrier. read more

This is a really great find. I heard about this place through the flyers I get in the mail back in November. I was curious and went to go, but I seriously couldn't find it for the life of me! So I turned around and went home. It wasn't until a week ago, when I received another flyer that I was adamant about finding this place, and so I yelped it and read reviews and found out it was camouflaged with the "sell us your gold" sign! I'm from Chicago and so yes, intelligentsia coffee is familiar to me. I loved the place and the staff are very helpful and knowledgable about their coffees. I look forward to coming back now I know where it is! read more

I'm visiting Chandler and found this place. Omg so good. I had the iced caramel coconut latte. Only two concerns: 1- it was a bit expensive and 2- how bad would I be if I went back tomorrow and got another? It was so good. read more

Sometimes you just want to go chillaxed environment (not too loud) with comfortable chairs to get some work done.  If you want to blabber loudly on your phone, go to Starbucks.  I was actually impressed with how chilled everyone was here, both clientele and the guy behind the counter.  Also, you can get a coffee for $2 that isn't McDonalds, hooray!  I've driven past this place a few times and never ventured in.  Glad I ventured in today as I think I just found a cool little place to grab some jo and get some work done! read more

WhereUBean Coffee - Chillaxed coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

WhereUBean feels like a new coffee shop, for better or worse. WhereUBean is a small coffee shop in a small strip mall. The location is rather ideal - it's perfectly located and rather convenient - so it'll definitely get a lot of attention. The interior is rather simple - a few Ikea tables and chairs and some assorted wares - but that's okay for the most part. I'd say WhereUBean is not as comfortable as your average Starbucks, but comes close. There is WiFi, plenty of seating, and outdoor space, so this could be a good study spot. The espresso I had was rather nice and I genuinely enjoyed it. Espresso is hard to mess up, but thankfully it was nice. The pastries available were definitely on the older and saran wrapped side, but still managed to be rather tasty and interesting - I particularly liked the cheesecake pastry, which had some awesome sort of brownie interior. All in all, not a bad place - seems like it just needs a good influx of customers and cash. read more

My favorite coffee shop!!!!! As in, willing to drive out to Ahwatukee from Tempe or Phoenix to sit in this coffee shop over another! I dream about the banana pudding and the coffee is exceptional, atmosphere cannot be best. read more

The only place I go to for coffee when I'm in AZ. I am from kc but literally every day I crave their Indian summer latte, matcha, and Bombay tres leches cake. I'd buy a plane ticket solely to go back to whereubean! To add to it, the service is always excellent and staff are so friendly. I love the unique vibe they have that makes it feel like home. Can't wait to visit again soon! read more

WUB is the best! The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is always so kind, and the food and drinks are so unique and fresh. truly the best coffee in the Phoenix Area read more

Still consistently the best coffee shop in the neighborhood! They have kept to serving Intelligentsia coffee which is great. Despite visiting Chicago recently with the original stores (and slightly pretentious baristas), we agreed WhereUBean was still going to be our go-to for coffee. The baristas are super nice, patient, and really good with recommendations. My normal is a caramel macchiato but I tried their toddy today (with simple syrup and 2% milk) and it was very smooth with a hint of sweetness. Looks like I'm changing my regular! My husband ordered the dirty chai and found it to be a good strong chai flavor with just a hint of coffee. Dirty chais were my usual drink in college from Starbucks, when I was just wee and didn't know any better about coffee. It was often a mixture of sweet from the chai syrup and a shot of a bitter from the espresso (of the 2-4 shots I would add to a venti). Thinking back and comparing it to what we bought today, that was just nasty. This dirty chai is smooth and the chai seriously tastes like it was brewed and the espresso is not crazy burnt so only a hint of the coffee (but the YUS-ness of the caffeine) comes through . FYI, reasonable prices as well - $7 and change for two mediums! All in all, a wonderful coffee shop in the area! read more

One of the best coffee shops I have been to in the valley so far. Cool vibe, amazing coffee roasts. Their bakes goods will never disappoint. I tried their cardamom and rose tres leches cake and my world was shaken by how good it was. Their staff are absolutely friendly and their recommendations were stop on! I wish I could come here everyday. read more

WhereUBean Coffee - Oat milk latté - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I needed to get stuff done this morning and wasn't being very productive at my friends place, so I grabbed my computer and strolled out here. I drove by this place the first day I was here and was like "oh thank goodness it's not a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts!" Don't get me wrong, those two places serve their purpose, but can be cramped and busy at times. I like to try to hit up small independent places like this when I can, and was more then happy to come in here today. When I arrived, I loved how the place was set up. Very cozy with ample seating. Tables and couches lined the side of the shop with the coffee counter in the same spot it's always been. There wasn't anyone there, so I was able to place my order at the counter right away. The guy who helped me was really cute, and after asking a few questions and chit chatting, I placed my order for a hot mocha. It came out in a really cute cup with a saucer, and had tons of whipped cream. Yay whipped cream! I did some internet surfing and made some calls back home and was able to get through my stuff in no time without being interrupted. Prices here don't seem to be cheap, and I would say in general, their along the lines of Starbucks. BUT, the difference is I feel like I'm supporting the small coffee business! Overall, I really enjoyed my time here. By the way, you have to have a code to get on the internet, and it requires a purchase. The guy at the counter will print a password out for you. I don't know if there's a time limit, but no free internet surfing here! Just an FYI! read more

This is by far my favorite coffee spot. The staff is genuine, friendly, fun and inviting. The coffee is delicious! And I live the online ordering! read more

*** UPDATE *** 9/19/18 Went into the shop for coffee today and it is so cute and cozy! Very clean! Smells wonderful like freshly roasted coffee :) they have really nice and comfortable furniture and some games and books. The gentleman who helped me at the counter this morning was very friendly. I got a small hot coffee with cream and it was delicious! Very smooth coffee. This might just be my new neighborhood coffee shop! read more

Very nice and quite place! Good to meet your friend or event to work! The staff is very friendly! I recommend Endroit très agréable pour rencontrer ces amis ou même pour travailler. Le personnel est très gentil! Je recommande! Lugar muy tranquilo y agradable para reunirse con amigos o trabajar en silencio. El personal es muy agradable. Lo recomiendo! read more

I love coming here! I originally came here with a friend years ago and forgot about it because it was far away from me at the time. Once I moved closer and rediscovered it many other coffee shops just don't compare. They take pride in the drinks they make, ensuring they stay on top of both the coffee trends (like oat milk) and the foundations of great coffee. They ensure each drink is exactly what you asked for and are always happy to help. The only thing I could maybe knock them for is that I wish the coffee was a little stronger but that's nothing an extra shot can't fix. read more

This place isn't terrible but definitely not my favorite. I loved the name and thought it would be fun to go. My friend and I ordered their seasonal drinks and both thought they were pretty average. The peppermint patty drink and the pumpkin latte both had everything settling at the bottom and we didn't finish our drinks. I don't know if we were suppose to drink it fast or constantly keep stirring it. The inside of the shop is really cool though. read more

I am presently sitting at a little table inside of WhereUBean, catching up on yelp reviews. I have a rather significant backlog of reviews and tonight, I actually have a little bit of extra time to get a few done. I like this unassuming coffee shop: it's quiet, clean, and friendly. The baristas don't bother you, they chat with you if you want, and they're happy to accommodate small requests, like trying to determine which piece of apple cake is the biggest for you to buy. My latte is pretty smooth, the espresso not bitter, and the apple cake is a delightful fall treat, chock full of apples. Also, today's win: cake samples! Wifi is usually pretty good, but tonight, it seems to be a little unreliable. It's working for now, though. Support small, local businesses! read more

WhereUBean Coffee - My latte and apple cake. Yelp review time. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Came in to get a coffee and study. Stood at the counter for 5 minutes and nobody was there. Sat down assuming the server was in the restroom. Still waiting. I've been here for 20 minutes with 6 other people. I assume they are customers but maybe one of them works here. Only time will tell. Should I make my own coffee? Edit: It's been 10 minutes and no help. I think the server is playing chess with his friend. He just started the music on Apple TV. Edit 2: Someone else came in and my suspicions were correct. Guy playing chess is the server and just chose not to acknowledge me. We have made eye contact a few times, so maybe he just doesn't like the cut of my jib. I've been here about 35 minutes total. Still studying but won't be ordering. First time and last time here. read more

WhereUBean Coffee - Nice, productive morning with my double espresso. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Standard, bland strip small - Punny but not funny name - Ok vibe but not special. So why I have we bothered to go here several times? 2 important reason: bean selection and quality pours. They serves Intelligencia Coffee (one of the few remaining places in town that do)and EVERY drink is made with craftsmanship and consistency. You can have quality beans and shitty "baristas". WhereUBean thankfully focuses on the two most important things about coffee even when the rest of the place seems like it could end up being one of those knockoff strip mall coffee shop cliches. Cudos to you guys for surprising us with the quality. read more

#Whereubean coffee is good coffee. Based off just espresso drinks, the Americano and Cubano are better than Starbucks but average for an independent coffee shop (says my coffee snob hubby). Atmosphere is nice. Clean and slightly urban modern feel. The staff was kind and helpful. Didn't blow me away but I would come again. Food 3.5/5 Price 3.5/5 Overall 3.5/5 read more

Love this place. The rich coffee is wonderful and the snacks/pastries are absolutely amazing!! The staff is fun! We come here whenever we're in the area. **I have to add to this. We go there about 3 times a month. My lattes are rich and even at the end of the drink still taste like coffee. Many lattes I get at different places only taste like milk by the time the ice is melted. But the biggest draw would be the wonderful pastries and sweet deserts!! Goodness they are soooo good!! read more

Found this place by accident but so glad that I did. They have this delight called Nutella Latte and it is delicious. They also offer pastries, teas and the like, its a very calm environment, it was almost dead silent event though the place was half full.

WhereUBean Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Had an iced latte and it hit the spot. They have soymilk, almond milk (unsweetened and sweetened options), and coconut milk which is great if dairy effs you up like me. The guy working was super helpful and explained the difference between an Americano, Breve, Latte, and Cappucino without being condescending or anything like some other hipster coffee places are sometimes. Cool space to study or read a book, would come back for sure. Oh I do wish the straws were longer though read more

The coffee/beverages are excellent and of high quality. If you are looking for a luxurious experience of morning beverages and even freshly baked goods, this is the perfect stop for you. The shop is locally owned by Ayesha (sp ?) and son Zakkir (sp ?). Zakkir always greets me by my first name and with a warm smile. Ayesha remembers my name, too. They both carry incredible knowledge and customer service skills. The staff under their care are also very knowledgeable and on-top of their jobs. Support your local business! read more

Good coffee and a little quiet place to relax. Staff is always friendly. Good place to work on schoolwork.
