50 Best Coffee Shops in Mesa

“I judge a coffee shop based on a whole milk plain latte. I like to taste the latte for the notes in the espresso shot. A lot of shops don't dial in the espresso shots or the baristas stop caring because they don't think the customer can tell the difference. My latte was good, slightly caramel with accents of cocoa and nuts. It wasn't the best shot I have ever had but better then 95% of the shops I have been to around Phoenix. The chocolate croissant was really good too. I look forward to going back for my next cup.“

“I recently visited *Pura Vida Grinds*, and it quickly became my favorite coffee spot in town. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the warm and inviting atmosphere curated by their manager, Robert Lobo. His attention to detail and commitment to quality are evident in every aspect of the shop. The seating area is absolutely charming—a cozy nook with comfortable chairs and a relaxed ambiance that makes it the perfect spot to unwind. Whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying some quiet time with a book, the setting is ideal for any occasion. But the real star of the show is the coffee. *Pura Vida Grinds* offers an incredible selection of coffee imported from Costa Rica. Each cup is brewed to perfection, delivering rich, complex flavors that are simply unmatched. I tried their house blend and was blown away by its smooth, robust taste. Robert's passion for coffee shines through in every cup, and his friendly demeanor makes the experience even more enjoyable. He takes the time to chat with customers and ensure everyone feels right at home. Overall, *Pura Vida Grinds* is a gem. With its cute, relaxing area and outstanding coffee, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a moment of peace and exceptional quality. I highly recommend stopping by for a visit—you won't be disappointed.“

“This is one of my favorite places to get coffee in Mesa, AZ. Beyond the great food and coffee, Murphy the owner is wonderful. As an internationally known touring musician, i am blessed to perform here with my daughter. 2 years off the road due to covid, Buddha's Brew Coffee Cafe is where i chose to play my first "come back show".“

“I drove past here for the last two years and kept telling myself I need stop in and try it out.

I finally got the chance and I was not disappointed. Great service from the Gentleman working in the morning. Donuts and coffee are both great. I’ve been in about 5 times now since my first time stopping in and I plan to keep returning.“

“So so glad we found you! Only regret is it wasn’t sooner ☕️“

“Gorgeous/charming girls who provide amazing customer service... Unreal. It didn't take long to get my drink, but I'd have gladly sat there for an hour... They're like way friendly I don't touch grass as often as I should and I didn't struggle talking to them at all. ??? “

“This is truly a great place to get a coffee and chill. The coffee was strong but not bitter. I usually order an Americano with oat milk, nothing special, but in this case, it was absolutely wonderful. Of course, it might have been the atmosphere here, lol.“

“Easily my favorite coffee ever. Great product paired with a great staff and you can’t go wrong. I usually get the americano but they always have great snacks to pair with your drinks as well so I recommend those also.“

“I loved the vibe of the place!! They have a four player playstation, and an instax camera. The service is really nice, and they are really friendly. I went for Enhypen's album release event, and was amazed how accommodating they were of the vendors, and the kpop songs in the background livened up the place, not to mention the aesthetic interior and decorations.“

“Been here a few times and this is what I’ve gathered.

Heroes First: They support veterans and first responders. Cheers to that!

Bold Brews: Their coffee wakes you up. Try the “Just Black” medium roast.

Cool Vibes: Military-themed—like “Freedom Fuel” coffee.

Easy Choices: Unlike some soy milk latte with a dash of rainbow powder

Worth It: Yeah, it’s worth it.

Kid-friendliness: Made a custom hot chocolate order, which was a ⭐️in my book“

“Gelato Oasis in the desert delivering an artissan cold treat to provide a welcomed respite from the scorching summer heat whilst delighting even the most sophisticated of pallets.

This place has become a weekly ritual for our family.

Vegetarian options: Everything. Meat and frozen treats don't mix well

Parking: Plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: Kids love this place. Plenty of seating inside and out.“

“The coffees produced by Empower Coffee Roasters are truly exceptional. Zach combines roasting artistry with cutting edge technology to create consistently masterful single origins and blends. Our favorite is the El Diamonte single origin Guatemalan medium roast. its combination of milk chocolate, toffee and fruit flavors hits all the notes. it is among the best coffees we've ever tasted. Empower Coffee Roasters has won us over, give them a try and you'll be pleased that you did!“

“Great place for just starting out !
Just a suggestion, make sure you’re cleaning off the tables ?
Service and pizzookie’s are AMAZING !
Y’all will get to recognize us because my wife and I come from Surprise with my 89 year old Dad and 74 yr old Mom just for dessert ! Been there with my parents twice (back 2 back weeks) and they love it and it gets them out of the house ❤️
Keep up the good work !
Solid 5 stars from us !!

Edit: I came by myself tonight at 3:30am and y’all were closed at 2 ?
What happened to 10am like it says here on Google ?“

“what can I not say good about this place. I'm a salon and spa owner and at this location twice, sometimes 3 times a day. great staff, especially at 4:30am when Matthew is in the drive threw. Always quick and have my order correct. Great training and great staff. please keep the "Dirty Opras coming" or "Carmel ribbon cruch Frappuccino" loyal customer: Brittney the hair dresser“

“Not bad for a local DB but these lines take forever to clear. It’s hard to watch 30 cars pass through In-N-Out next door and DB struggle with 10. It’s a small lot and an unforgiving location since the walk up parking is gone due to the mall being demolished. Don’t come here in the summertime without AC in your car.“

“It's one of my favorites when I'm in az and in the area. I go every other week when I'm here. Living in Europe, I got spoiled with good sweets. This place is as close as you can get to the European level. So far, that I've found. Even my very fussy European husband will eat the goodies from here. And he usually hates the food in the usa. Glad to find a place good like this.“

“Starbucks is my go to on Sundays after I go wash And clean out my car. I take my Pugltese Gus Gus with me for his puppacino. We get the Grier Egg bites, my coffee and dragon ? drink and then go home to meal prep for the week. We love our #Starbucks on Gilbert and McKellips in Mesa, Arizona.“

“This store has the sweetest, most efficient employees in all Gilbert Starbucks! I am a Starbucks junkie, and I go about three times a week and not always the same store. However, every time I come into the store, I get a welcome. I tell them “thank you” they respond back everytime. If I have a question they go above and beyond to answer it…just the cutest crew. You can really tell they enjoy what they do!“

“Blended Caramel Blondie for the WIN! Sometimes I crave this specific drink more than Starbucks. ?I've also had their Italian Soda's in the past, and they aren't bad.Either way .. this is a super chill, industrial looking coffee shop with a drive thru. I recommend! ?“

“The most amazing location the people are always friendly and energetic I went today and got my birthday drink and there was a mistake in the order and I got an extra one free the girl was super friendly and made my morning better thank you for exceptional customer service and friendliness I will definitely be coming back I rate this location 5 stars ✨“

“This place used to have the best cronuts I've ever eaten in my life.
Unfortunately they changed their menu. So sad to see them go. I don't buy snacks here anymore. If someone reads this please let me know where you ordered them from. We miss our favorite treat.“

“The atmosphere and service were phenomenal.
The employee was really helpful in explaining what the drinks were and he even let me try some of the camo brulee. I’ve never tried it, and it was so good!! I would describe the camo brûlée itself as a salty fluffy whipped cheese cream. You can put it in any drink!

My cousin had the split cup with strawberry horchata and on the other side she had the brown sugar milk. The convenience of getting to try two drinks for almost the price of 1 is amazing!!

The ONLY thing I will say though, is that most to all of their drinks are already premade, so you cannot adjust the sugar level on them. Which is why I didn’t end up getting a drink myself. It was a little disappointing but again, the service and atmosphere were on point!

I know that boba shops are supposed to have all the yummy and fun sugary drinks but I hope to see some sugar free options or even have a couple drinks where you can adjust the sugar level a bit in the future!

I will come back on my cheat day to say the least!“

“My daughter and I come here every weekend for a coffee date. She loves her “pink coffee” strawberry lemonade. The staff are amazing and sweet. It is clean, chill, and always a memorable experience. Thank you all so much for helping me create beautiful memories with my girl :)“

“I would like to thank the location on Power Rd for their attention to my group reservation. I ended up with what was initially a confirmed large number to last minute unknown number & from start to finish, I felt like we received great, courteous service & the food went down well. Thank you!“

“Always a good place for some good coffee.“

“I'm thrilled to tell you that I recently discovered the best Dutch Bros location in the state! The team there is just amazing - they always recommend the perfect drink for me, no matter how many times I change my order. And on top of that, they are the friendliest and most supportive people you could ever meet. Trust me, you won't find a better coffee experience anywhere else!?“

“The Barista was very friendly, my peppermint latte was perfect. What else can I say?“

“Great workout today! Thank you!!“

“Best donuts around from a hard working family. Gotta go early for best selection or they will sell out. Very friendly people!“
