50 Best Coffee Shops near Sun Lakes

“So I did a mobile order here at the very last second this early afternoon. Upon arriving at the drive thru, I encountered 3 male employees. 1st was to get my receipt, a young Hispanic male, very polite welcoming. The 2nd was an older Hispanic gentleman who was out making sure the drive thru remained cleaned and professional looking. He was also sweet and friendly. 3rd was another tall young Hispanic male at the pick-up window. He was super nice, fast, repeated my order to me, and was presentable.
Heck, all 3 employees were very presentable!
All 3 even seemed happy to be working and didn't look fake happy or miserable like the employees in other places.
I've done their job before and I know it isn't easy.
I appreciate and love that the 1st and 3rd employees REPEATED my order back to me! That tells me they are attentive to detail and get it right the first time.
Did I mention everything was fresh, especially the ice in my coke!
KUDDOS AND THANK YOU!

(P.s., I did a mobile order the previous night at a different location, and they got half my order wrong. Lol!)“

“Kava and live music with an amazing atmosphere and awesome vibes.“

“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.“

“This place was so wonderful! The cutest corgi greeter!“

“This place is really cool! Madi was super helpful!!! She broke down the different ways all the Kava and Keaton might affect me, and she was super friendly while doing it!

The vibe in here is also super relaxing if you’re just trying to relax as opposed to a more traditional “bar” and everything that comes with that scene.“

“Yummy organic vegan choice for coffee and tea..“

“Love this place love the Thai tea boba is delicious 😋“

“Found this amazing coffee nook, vegan pastries and OAT MILK option. Great coffee and friendly service.“

“Wonderful attentive service. The Latte’s are the perfect texture. Their sparkling lemonade with or without the home made syrups is outstanding!!“

“On one of the hottest days this summer in the Gilbert area, Boba Tealight really hit the spot. Nice, cold and refreshing boba tea options. So many flavors to choose from. I opted for a large taro milk tea with boba. Just the right level of sweetness and the boba were the perfect texture. Very refreshing and cool. I would definitely recommend Boba Tealight to my family and friends and will be back to try more of the other delicious flavors.“

“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.“

“Had a baby shower there in the private room and it was wonderful, the food was amazing, and the drinks were great, the waitress that was taking care of our party did an incredible job keeping the food and drinks full and lots of fresh plates, she kept the tables clear of dirty plates, best experience ever, loved the outdoor area also.“

Shoutout to the kind and helpful folks working there for allowing us to try everything, even the toppings. We will be back for more soon! ☺️“

“first time ever having Dutch Bros and it was so so good“

“I work at a starbucks and hour away and came to this location to do some school, From the second i walked in all the baristas made eye contact with me and gave me a warm welcome. And made sure they did the same with every single customer walking through the doors. Everyone was extremely nice and shows a perfect example of what exceptional customer service looks like. My drink was made to perfection, the baristas were communicating and connecting with each customer. The store was also very clean. Im definitely taking what i saw at this location with me to my store and sharing with my partners what a great experience i had, and strive to do the same.“

“The owner is so sweet, me and my friend came about 30 min before opening by accident and he let us in, was very kind and patient with us while we picked what to get. Brought everything out to our table and was very polite! The shop is so cozy and the icecream is amazing. Definitely recommend“

“Simply put the best bagels I have ever had. Currently undergoing chemotherapy for stage four cancer.This gem of a place will make the tough days easier. The only downside is my treatment days are generally Wednesday and they are closed 🤨. I guess that's two trips a week from south central Phoenix for me.“

“Delicious. 👌🏼 Toffee coffee is awesome, the cinnamon roll was warm & great. My daughter loved her riptide! Will definitely visit again.“

“Love their Matcha and the ambiance.“

“Me and my daughter-in-law visited last Saturday evening. What a wonderful place! The guy who was at the front counter was so friendly and helpful with the menu items. I had the Peach Cobbler Chai (LOVED IT!!!) and my daughter-in-law had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Chai (Yummy as well!!!). It's a great place to sit and talk, bring kids (they have board games) and listen to live music. I will definitely be back!“

“Breakfast was yummy 😋 I’ll be coming back!! Thanks“

“although it’s set in what looks like a warehouse, I enjoyed the music and chill vibe.

their coffee is not too milky and sweet imo! just how I prefer it. the syrup flavors and sugariness of their lattes balance out the bitter coffee.

outdoor seating is a big plus, esp in the cooler months.“

“Great coffee ☕️ nice place“

“Great drinks and food for happy hour!“

“Excellent Starbucks with the best baristas!!! Totally love this location, all baristas are like family and take the time to get to know you and personalize your experience!! They get our drink orders right every time and have impeccable customer service with pristine patience!! Decided to try a new drink and throw a curve ball with an “Twix” Frapp and Journey got it right on point!! Thank you to our Barista family at our got to Starbucks on Val Vista and Elliot!!“

“Wow, I'm blown away by the Cornerstone coffee shop! I had no idea this gem existed within the church. This quiet oasis is perfect for getting work done while enjoying a delicious drink - I highly recommend the Passion Iced Tea! What sets this coffee shop apart from the rest is its purpose: supporting the church with every purchase. It's a refreshing change from the usual corporate coffee chains. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, making it an ideal spot for meetings or focused work. If you're looking for a unique coffee experience that gives back to the community, look no further than Cornerstone! Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I really like this specific location. We’ve been here a few times now and every time it’s been a great experience.

The coffee is good, the customer service is great everyone is very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoy sitting out on the balcony upstairs and relaxing in the sun while we enjoy our breakfast and coffee!

We will keep visiting in the future.“

“This coffee shop has the best shaken espressos of any other business. Their staff has a great attitude and are top notch at what they do.

Lately the app has NOT been letting me order the chocolate peanut butter shaker at the Chandler location. Super weird because it’s NOT actually sold out…

UPDATE: the app has been fixed“

“I love this place. Great Service, good food. Most of all it’s clean. I’m very so lucky that Intel transferred me here from Santa Clara California, after 9/11. I worked for Intel for 35 years and a half. I’m now retired and enjoying my retirement what ever I have left. I’m now happy 63 yrs old. I feel like 35…😀. Love to workout at lifetime Fitness in Gilbert and love to road bike and mountain bike. Love participating the (El Tour Tucson in Tucson Arizona every November. 🇺🇸Let’s be kind to one another let’s respect every colors or love every colors. Let’s have (PEACE). Let’s not judge about others. Because that person might be a Philanthropist and very well educated and that person might be acting he or shes very poor but he or she maybe not poor. So it’s good not to judge.“
