“If you plan on sitting inside bring a jacket or sweater.“

“I love the community and vibe Lacuna has created. An adult playgroup with eclectic events I look forward to !“

“Stopped in while we were downtown to check out the coffee shop. They have a lot of unique specialty drinks, which is fun, but overall the experience was just okay. The drinks were on the pricey side, and nothing stood out enough for me to feel like it’s a spot I’d go back to.“

“Great food and service. Innovative beverages, excellent wine list. Definitely recommend.“

“What a great find during our AZ trip. The owner was great at explaining his product and what a great product it is. Will be ordering his best off of his website. We love to support small local businesses.“

“i love this place... i stop by every chance i get for that cold brew! malice, the owner, hooks it up“

“This was SO MUCH FUN!! Great coffee and a lot of fun learning to use a pottery wheel—great PATIENT instructor and all included craft creation! I will be scheduling again ASAP—and bringing more with me!!!“

“WOW! If you are looking for a satisfying, delicious pick-me-up, this is the spot! I had an iced pumpkin pie latte with the pumpkin cheesecake— the perfect pairing! The hot Oatmilk latte was amazing, especially paired with the chai donut (vegan). I loved the aesthetic and vibe, and the baristas were very friendly and kind!! I WILL be returning.“

“Went in for the first time today and the owner Abdul was soooo nice. I had a gift card for my bday and was told to get the sambusas. I did and I am not at all mad! Yum! Prob one of the best lattes ever! Give them a visit. I’ll be back soon!“

“I never get to stop by as much as I would like since I live in the East valley.
Everything is vegan friendly by default! I also love that they are loud with their values and provide a safe space to the community, especially during these hard times ❤️
It gives me peace of mind knowing my money is going to a good local business and not some big corporation who doesn't give a damn about us just the revenue we bring!
Local small businesses all the way!“

“Stopped into Case Study Coffee Lounge with a friend who’s a full-on regular (and myself, a proud Case Study virgin), and I’m happy to report this place absolutely understood the assignment.

She ordered the Dark Horse, while I went with a drink whose name I cannot recall… but I can tell you it involved ginger beer, apple, and espresso, and it was unexpectedly delightful in a “why is this so good and why don’t I order things like this more often?” kind of way.

The vibes and atmosphere are spot on: clean, modern, warm, and effortlessly cool. It’s the perfect place to work, study, or catch up with old friends to unpack life… or, more realistically, talk about boy drama (stupid boys). The seating layout makes it easy to linger without feeling rushed, which I deeply respect in a coffee shop.

The baristas were amazing friendly, welcoming, and exactly what you hope for from an independent coffee spot. I didn’t catch our barista’s name, but she was incredibly kind and patient while I stood there humming and ha-ing over the menu like it was a life decision. Bless her.

Price point was exactly what I’d expect for a quality local coffee shop in Phoenix, fair, reasonable, and worth it. And bonus points for something that should not be rare but somehow is: parking.

10/10 would recommend. I’ll absolutely be back the next time I need caffeine, good vibes, and a safe space to process the fact that Beau has, once again, inevitably upset me.“

“Excellent nitro brewed coffee.“

“Hi everyone, I just want to let everybody know that this is an amazing place to be—a really cozy place with really good food and coffee. I can't forget to let you guys know, the customer service is amazing!“

“Amazing experience! There is so much fun to be had there. The stage is perfectly set up with lots of seating around. You can have a drink, dance, play lawn games, seat by the pool, cozy up by one of the many fire pits and enjoy yourself.“

“Cool place. Love this place.“

“The atmosphere is so inviting and the food is delicious! My favorite meeting spot for business and my hubby & I favorite place for date night.“

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The coffee is amazing! The staff is super friendly and personable! The pastries are top notch and beagles are extraordinary! I’d hang out here all day if I could!“

“Delicious GF options!! It’s a rare treat to find a local coffee shop that also has delicious GF desserts. Thank you!“

“Tweedle drink with Kava! My fave!“

“Yadira game my daughter and I the most delicious coffee and muffins this morning , and delivered them with care and kindness with the wonderful assistance of Malachie!“

“Luana’s is by far one of the coolest coffee shops I’ve ever been to! From the first day I stepped foot into this place, I felt like I was walking into a home away from home. They have the coziest furniture that makes you want to stay for hours. The barista’s have always been so welcoming which has played a big part in making every experience at Luana’s a 10/10. Not to mention their breakfast pizza is a 100/10. They have such unique specialty coffees and their matcha is one of the best I’ve had yet. Anyone would regret not stepping foot at least once in such a lovely place!“

“The atmosphere is so cute and reminds me of a cabin in the woods, complete with a fireplace, couch, and cushioned armchairs. There is a lot of “America” vibes going on, from country music playing through the speakers and donations collected for the military. Also, their drinks are yummy and surprisingly inexpensive compared to Starbucks.“

“The menu items are delicious. I now have new favorite beverages and love how they serve them. The staff is friendly and service is timely. I feel like it is a home away from home. So much better than Starbucks! I recommended this gem to persons of all ages!“

“Super nice little café; not easy to find something like this amongst all the big chains. Quiet, relaxing and with very friendly staff. One of the best places to get espresso in Tempe but the Ethiopian traditional coffee ceremony is a must to try as well! Skip Starbucks next door and come here instead.“

“so cozy and quaint!! Coffee was great.“

“Best grounding place in phoenix!!! Beautiful coffee, beautiful property and green house! Beautiful people!!“

“This coffee shop will always hold a special place in my heart. Perfect hip/ artsy downtown Phoenix vibe. Really great service and baristas and sweet treats. Love to people watch front the outdoor table on Roosevelt. Thank you to the workers and the establishment for providing many a beautiful experience!“

“Nice and relaxing atmosphere, good service great coffee“

“Best coffee! Visiting from Australia and best coffee we've had since arriving! would highly recommend this place! Great coffee, food and friendly people!“

“I found Let’s Meet Up in Phoenix and it’s quickly become one of my favourite spots for a relaxed coffee and a game night. The café space is comfortable, with a well-stocked shelf of board games and a welcoming community vibe that invites you to linger. Their drinks, smooth lattes, cold brews, and a good pastry selection, are just right for settling in. What I especially like is that you don’t feel rushed; you can sip your drink, pick a game, and stay awhile. If you’re looking for a chill place to hang out with friends and play something fun, this café hits it perfectly.“

“We are on vacation and this is one of the best places we’ve been. Heard it was a cool environment and it is! The grilled cheese? Super! The strawberry salad with CANDIED WALNUTS? Wow-so good. And we shared a cinnamon roll that was perfect (get it warmed up)! Fun and inviting. You should go!“

“Hi... I just had the most wonderful delicious exotic drink. A lavender Chai oatmilk latte.... you must stop by and try it you will be addicted. What a charming place ... they are hidden behind artichok pizza... just across the street from George yangs... easy parking. You are in for a treat... can't wait until they start making crepes!“

“Beautiful atmosphere, delicious drinks and food- plus a gorgeous array of flowers, from elaborate arrangements, to their hand bouquets! 💐🌹“

“Small and cozy spot to enjoy a great coffee.“

“Great concept to have artisan coffees and teas + food + hands-on workshop. Fun fact - beans are roasted at their Tempe location.

Ordered:
3 Sunrise Sandwiches
2x Iced ceremonial sweet match with lavender.

1st time here and will come back.

Perfect for those that support local and want artisan drinks instead of big box coffees.“
