Best Coffee Shops in Phoenix
While we may not hail from Seattle or call ourselves New Yorkers, Phoenix residents love a good cup of coffee, too. And when you’re headed out for a quick caffeinated beverage or looking for the perfect spot for your next business meeting or best friend hang out, we’ve created a comprehensive list of Phoenix’s best coffee shops.
Royal Coffee Bar
Phoenix (Heritage Square location)
At Royal Coffee Bar, the process of roasting and executing the perfect cup of coffee is truly an art form. While the Heritage Square location isn’t the largest space, the owner’s expertise in architecture becomes clear when you step into this well-designed spot. Its rustic, yet funky, décor is welcoming for a casual afternoon cup of joe or a quiet spot for a caffeine-fueled work day.
Songbird Coffee & Tea
Phoenix
Instagrammers and cozy café lovers unite in this Pinterest-worthy coffee shop on historic Third Street. This Phoenix house was built in 1904 and brings all the charm to be expected of a little piece of history – with coffee! If you’re worried about rush hour, this quaint spot has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for those busier times. You’ll never tire of a visit to Songbird with their pop-up food vendors, ever-changing treat options and, of course, coffee drinks.
Giant Coffee
Phoenix
Lovers of Matt’s Big Breakfast will be happy to indulge in the same great taste at their sister coffee shop, Giant Coffee. Try their homemade “barista milk” or the 24 Blackbirds chocolate mocha for a little something special. Bite into one of their freshly made pastries while relaxing in Giant’s warm and inviting space for a quiet afternoon amidst a busy day in sunny Phoenix.
Lola Coffee
Phoenix
For a little artistry with a side of coffee, stop in to Lola Coffee in Phoenix. Lola celebrates the talents of the writers of our fine city with its regular poetry night. This hot little spot benefits from excellent ambiance, cool music, and pastries like homemade Pop Tarts. If a savory breakfast is more your style, try one of Lola’s tasty breakfast burritos.
Rollover Donuts
Phoenix
Okay, so the name doesn’t scream “coffee shop,” but Rollover Donuts absolutely does justice for the donut’s favorite beverage. This spacious spot on Central Avenue boasts drinks prepared with coffee from Press Coffee Roasters and milk from Danzeisen Dairy. These carefully crafted brews will be the perfect drink to wash down Rollover’s doughy breakfast treats.
Cartel Coffee Lab
Downtown Phoenix
One of our favorite spots for a good latte, Cartel Coffee Lab, can be found across Phoenix and Tucson. The best location is its spot in downtown Phoenix. This is the place you can come for both a perfectly crafted coffee and the good vibes of an inviting atmosphere. Check out the fun decorations across the downtown location, including a wall made of bicycle wheels.
