Empower Coffee Roasters

This place really gets it. The caramel blender was delicious, and the coffee was excellent too. What stood out just as much was the genuinely friendly, inclusive atmosphere — everyone is welcomed and treated with kindness. A great local spot I’ll definitely be back to.

The cheese danish and chocolate croissant were delicious. The barista toasted them which was delicious! The cold brew coffee was wonderful.

Lots of tables and room for seating. I would highly recommend this coffee shop.

Today I found myself at Brick Road Coffee in Mesa. This is one of two Brick Road locations, sharing space with Empower Roasters. I ordered my customary cappuccino, a bit dry, in a mug, and Brick Road delivered as promised.

The roast was earthy and smooth, with hints of nut, and spice. I don’t believe the bean was arabica, as it lacked the bold flavor forward I would expect. Regardless, the roasting was on point.

When seated, you can’t help but notice Brick Road is all about community. I sincerely appreciated their willingness to lead with their social conscious in an increasingly polarized society.

While the cappuccino was fine, I was pleasantly surprised by my next option, a sugar cookie chi latte, which I ordered dirty. This was simply delish, and I tip my hat to the barista.

Should you find yourself in Mesa AZ, I suggest you make a stop at Brick Road Coffee, pick up a LB of dark roast, have a seat and enjoy.

I enjoyed what I ordered, but they are no longer a fully vegan café. They did have multiple pastry options that were vegan, and also some that were vegan gluten-free. 

Loved coming here! The coffee was excellent, really enjoyed the Pumpkin Latte. This is such a safe space and has plenty of friendly faces. I would recommend coming here to study, work or just have a nice coffee and a muffin.
