I spent time in Colombia a couple months ago and one of the best street foods we had was pande bono. I actually liked them better here. It may have been the ricotta? The coffee has a distinct, rich, bold flavour which is delicious and unique. The coffee shop has more of a tropical vs vibey feel.

Out of everything we had, the empanadas were the best! They felt like a warm hug! The spicy sauce that came with it was fantastic and they were just delicious! Bagels were good. We substituted the bacon with turkey and removed the lettuce just in case. They were pretty filling but a little soggy by the time they got home. Arepa was tasty and not too sweet. Coffee was just ok. We ordered two cafe con leche, one with regular milk and one with almond milk. Even though it was ordered extra hot, it was cold by the time my husband got home and we are only about 20 min away. I was hoping for something a little extra special seeing that they source their coffee straight from Colombia. Note: order your food before your order the coffee. They are handled separately and coffee was ready way before the food. With tip, we paid just under $60.

My daughter and I walked up to the counter ready to order, and I knew I wanted a mocha--but I wasn't completely sure. Hunter stepped right up to the register, already fired up and ready to help. I asked him, "Do you think I want a mocha?" and without hesitation he said yes! We both laughed, and then he suggested adding vanilla, which had me completely sold. Then he started talking to my daughter about a couple of other drink options, and wow--he had me reconsidering my whole order! My daughter reminded me that I don't like prickly pear, but Hunter kindly let me sample it anyway. Sure enough, I still didn't like it--but he made it sound so delicious and refreshing that I almost believed I would! We left already planning our next visit just to see Hunter again. If you get the chance to have an encounter with him, take it! He truly knows the products and how to market them. And most importantly--the drinks were excellent!!!

Like I said, I was here to do some work and studying, by 7:45 when I ordered my cocktail, the spot was close to 90% full. Seems like a fun and hype spots.. I would like to come back for the games. Spoke to another young lady Tamara with a question about the drink another table had an Calvin made sure my water stayed full. Great team!

Snakes & Lattes is a fun spot in downtown Tempe to grab food, drinks, and hang out with friends…read moreover board games. The space is huge with plenty of tables, booths, and bar seating, plus they have a dog-friendly patio, although it didn't seem to be open during our visit. One thing to note is that ordering is done entirely through QR code, so interaction with staff is pretty minimal. Service was still smooth, but it definitely has more of a self-service feel. Their board game collection is massive and there's a $6 per person fee if you want to play. We ended up skipping the games this time and just came for food and drinks. Food-wise, everything was solid. I had the Spellbinder Hazy IPA along with the patty melt and sweet potato fries (a $3 upcharge). The patty melt was excellent and easily the highlight of my meal. The fries were decent, though I wish they had been a little crispier. My wife had the 12 West Super Beaker Tropical IPA and the carnitas bowl. We also shared the fried pickle chips. Parking can be a bit of a hassle since all the nearby downtown Tempe garages are paid parking, but there are at least several options within walking distance. There's even a small paid lot right behind the restaurant. Overall, a really cool concept with good food, drinks, and an impressive game selection.

In addition to coffee and tea, they serve pastries from Chacónne Patisserie and Noble Bread, which are both local legends. I stopped by Regroup Coffee on a random Saturday morning. The parking lot is small, but there were plenty of spots when I got there. I was greeted as soon as I entered. It was a pretty slow morning for the cafe, so it was quiet inside. I ordered a maple date latte with almond milk and a peanut butter banana toast. Both were delicious! I would absolutely return to try more from their menu!

Some of my favorite coffee in the valley, they use high quality coffee beans that really shines through in every drink- I love how their drinks are usually just subtly sweet and don't overpower the drink. I also love that they make some of their syrups in house, which really elevates the drinks they make. highly recommend the almond croissant if you're able to get one before they sell out, it's truly divine. Ive also tried their chai before, which was well spiced and balanced, the strawberry matcha is a great drink as well. I've also tried their protein slayer shake which was good (except i'm not the biggest fan of vegan protein powder). Looking forward to my next visit!

Disappointed by my experience here today (morning of Jun 2nd, 2026). I asked the barista to fill my…read morepersonal thermos with coffee, a request I've made at countless coffee shops without issue. He declined, citing "safety reasons" without any further explanation. When I politely asked what the safety concern was and showed him my thermos, his response was simply "I just said 'no'." No attempt to explain the policy, no offer of an alternative, no effort to help. I left without my coffee. For context, my reason for using a personal thermos is to avoid the plastic lining in paper cups leaching into hot coffee, a legitimate and well-documented concern. This is also better for the environment. Most shops accommodate this without hesitation. I have no issue with a shop having policies around personal containers. What I do have an issue with is a staff member dismissing a reasonable customer question with zero courtesy or explanation. The owner should know that this interaction cost them a customer, and that "safety" isn't a satisfying answer when no actual safety concern is articulated. I won't be back

Happy to be leaving a better review this time around- I took a break from Infusion after my last…read moreexperience to explore some other local coffee places, but the beautiful interior, great music, and the delicious coffee keeps me coming back. I had their regular cold brew with a splash of cream and a Sunrise Sandwich- both were so good! The cold brew had a lovely aftertaste that in my opinion, reminded me of dark chocolate and whiskey. Service was also fantastic- the lovely barista was thorough in her explanations of each cold coffee option to help me find what I was looking for! My sandwich was also lovely- the Sunrise Sandwich on an Everything Bagel is easily my favorite breakfast sandwich in Tempe. The Basil Pesto adds a bit of freshness to an otherwise very rich sandwich. Also stopped in a few more times on my evening walks for a Lavender Haze (seasonal earl grey sage honey drink: EXCELLENT!) and their seasonal energy drink- it was a Sunset Spritz (energy with grapefruit pink cordial): both delicious. Happy to say service has improved greatly. Employees are on task and happy to answer my questions. The drinks on the seasonal menu are very good, and their classics are also great. If you're going to go soon, I'm a big fan of the Sage honey and a big fan of the cordial syrup on the 2026 Spring Menu. Will definitely be hitting Infusion up for some future study sessions. Glad to see Infusion takes customer feedback seriously.

Ordered the chile chorizo omelet, the biscuits with gravy, and the waffle. To drink we had coffee and the seasonal juice (kale, apple, other fruits). The savory dishes were really good, but the star of the show as definitely the waffle. It was soft with just the right amount of crisp and came with a great berry compote. We had another breakfast/brunch spot during this trip to Arizona, but First Watch easily stood out as being the superior breakfast spot that we tried. We liked it so much we took two juices to go. Overall, if we are ever back in the Tempe area, we will definitely be coming here again.

Completely understand, since the CC companies charge small businesses a fee. So, just make sure to bring some cash with you if you want to avoid the fee. Not a big deal.

I even mixed it at the bottom with a straw hoping there was more flavor and sweetness, but the bitterness was more intense. I apologized to the front and said I'm sorry to have to ask, but if they could remake it for something else. They wanted to know what was wrong and I explained. The lady gave me a snarky comment and said, "yeah you got Vietnamese coffee, that's what it will taste like". That's definitely not true, I've had Vietnamese coffee plenty of times and it was delicious. The gentlemen who was making the coffee was nice and said he would look into their supply. He remade my coffee for their salted caramel. It was very mild, wish the flavor had been more pronounced. But overall it wasn't a bad drink. Overall this place has become a pass for me.
