I've been coming to this coffee shop for the past three years, and it has truly become one of my…read morefavorite places in Arizona. When I first moved here, I stopped in out of curiosity, and I still remember how genuinely kind and welcoming every employee was. As someone who was new to the area, that first impression meant a lot. Three years later, the same warm atmosphere keeps me coming back. Their hours have always worked perfectly with my schedule, giving me a comfortable place to study after work. There is plenty of seating, and best of all, lots of outlets, which has been a lifesaver for someone like me with an ancient laptop that seems to lose battery the moment I turn it on! Beyond the amazing coffee and cozy ambiance, what really sets this place apart is its commitment to the community. They regularly host events that are open to the public and even keep an event calendar posted so customers can stay informed. I've also seen them partner with organizations like Prisma HealthCare to offer free health screenings, which speaks volumes about how much they care about the people they serve. This isn't just a coffee shop. It's a place where you feel welcomed, supported, and connected. Between the wonderful employees, delicious coffee, inviting atmosphere, and genuine sense of community, it's easy to see why I've been a loyal customer for so long. Thank you for creating such a special place. You've made Arizona feel a little more like home.

Brick Road Coffee is an awesome spot. I came here with some friends around 130pm on a Saturday and…read moreit was busy!!! Lots of places to sit inside, I think every seat was full. There's also a lending library, which I think is for people to use during their visits to the coffee shop! There were lots of delicious looking pastries, breakfast items and drinks to choose from. I chose one of the summer specials called Beach Day latte. It was good! My friends also liked what they got. There were stickers and merch for purchase too. A book by a local author was also for sale and I ended up buying a copy since it looked like a good read! I will definitely be back!

Highly recommend.

I stopped in on my first visit while waiting for Bombay House to open at 11:00am and I'm so glad I did. This isn't the spot I'd choose if I needed to sit down and work -- it's a bit too dark for me -- but that's almost the point. It's cool, calm, and genuinely chill. The kind of place you come when you want to slow down, sip something good, and let the stress melt off. The staff were friendly and kind, which made the whole experience even better. I'll still head to other coffee shops when I need to get work done, but I will definitely be back here to relax and destress. A wonderful place, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

It's not a place where you sit and hang out (unless I missed it). It's clean, quick service, order, pay, and go! FYI, if you want to use your card, there's 4% charge. 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.

The fall menu recent launched, but I mentioned I love tea flavors, so they recommended an Apple butter dirty chai + oat milk -- which is not officially on menu, but they made it for me! They even asked if I wanted a toasted marshmallow on top, and who was I to say no? The drink was a great balance between coffee, spice, and sweetness from the apple. I would definitely order it again, especially for the fall vibes. The interior was super cozy, clean, and seemed like the perfect spot to get some work done. I'll definitely have to come back and try other drinks!

The shop is super-pretty. It's artsy in a slightly eclectic way, and does have flowers everywhere. Great spot for the girly girls out there. The staff at the counter was very sweet and helpful. Drinks were delicious and they have decaf espresso so you can still have their lattes even if caffeine is not for you. I had the avocado toast and my friend had the caprese toast. Both were made fresh but came out fast, and they were very tasty. Plenty of parking in the plaza outside. My friend and I went right at opening time on a Sunday, it got really crowded within about 30 min of that. They have a cute photo booth on the premises too. You can use your credit card in it (so, no cash needed) and you get to choose color or black and white for your photos. It initially charged my card but didn't let us take photos. We had to wait for a manager to come help reset the machine. Aside from that, it was a great visit!

Walls have artwork from artists trying to sell their artwork. also there's no customer restrooms. The place is somewhat hidden near the back of the shopping center and their name Gold Bar doesn't scream coffee. Nonetheless they have a wide variety of mochas and it's usually what i get. They do that well. I come here occasionally when im in the area. Is their coffee good enough to get overcome no drive thru no app order ahead? For me on a weekday if prefer modern ordering ahead.

The coffee shop has stained glass windows and an extremely unique atmosphere. The barista was extremely friendly and conversational, she made it so any customer felt welcomed as soon as they walked through the door. I ordered a large hot fireside chai with oatmilk.

Just writing this review makes my mouth water!!! I definitely recommend checking out Gold Bar Espresso!!!

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.

Cons: It's a little louder than I'd like a coffee shop to be. Don't really dig the industrial space and vibe. They were playing tunes on a speaker, could have done without that, they were turned up to a level that wasn't uncomfortable to have a conversation above, but I had to be intentional about it. I asked for a recommendation on what to get, kind of hoping that he'd recommend his favorite, and it was kind of more of like a "what do you like in a coffee?", I don't know how to answer that question. For it to taste good? I think that's important. He wanted me to have like tasting notes that I enjoyed. That's layers too deep for me man. Especially before I've had coffee. I'm not a sommelier of coffee, I just drink the stuff.
