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.“

“I was looking for someplace with delicious food and drinks where I could work for a couple hours. This place is amazing! Such a cozy, bustling place!“

“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.“

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

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

“Tweedle drink with Kava! My fave!“

“Just passing through, I love finding small owned shops and this is some of the best coffee ive had in a long time, smooth, wonderful flavor, made with love
10/10 recommend, the barista was so sweet and soft spoken if I had time I would've sat in there for hours“

“Awesome coffee shop!! Absolutely love the Freddo Cappuccino and the fact that you can customize it to be be sweet or not sweet, depending on your preference. Spacious and comfortable atmosphere and love all of the little details around the shop (chemex vases, coffee photos, saxophone, etc.) Paul is always in the shop and very welcoming and friendly. This place is definitely a gem and so glad to have another great coffee shop to add to my list of favorites in the area!!“

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

“Went to a paint and sip with my wife and a friend. I’ve been to a few kava bars but this one is far above the rest. I love the chill, calm, friendly vibe. Lots of regulars here and it feels very welcoming. It was never loud or chaotic, everyone was there to have fun and relax. The staff were super friendly and took the time to go over their menu with a kava novice like myself. The drinks were good and left me feeling relaxed and at peace. If this place was closer to me I would come here every week. The prices were decent, cheaper than another bar I went to in Mesa. I’m looking forward to returning here. It was worth the 30 minute drive.“

“Can’t believe I didn’t know about this place sooner! We tried the ube coffee and pandan coffee, both perfectly balanced in sweetness and coffee flavor profiles. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was cute and cozy with some games available(Pokopia/boardgames). We will definitely be back as regular customers, and looking forward to trying the egg coffee and other specialty flavors.“

“I’d been hearing about Levante for a while. I’d seen it online and heard about it from a couple of people around the neighborhood. I’m happy I tried them out.

I got a Toasted Matchamellow and my wife got a Hibiscus Latte!

I only ever drink strawberry matcha. I love strawberry anything, I know I love matcha, and I’m a creature of habit lol. But I decided to step out of my comfort zone and I’m glad I did. It’s not an overly sweet matcha (TO ME), but please take that with a grain of salt because I’m also a sweets girlie lol. It’s really good and balanced. Not overly matcha but also not overly marshmallow.

For my wife’s drink, she’s not a caffeinated chica due to allergies so this was right up her alley! Also up my alley because I looooooooovvvveeeeee Jamaica/hibiscus tea anything and this taste like a creamy version of that! Both drinks were really really good.

Definitely going back especially since it’s in the same plaza as my wax lady and that makes it apart of my routine now lmaooooooo“

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

“This is a cool place with a cool vibe and an outdoor seating area. I really enjoyed my lemon vanilla. I'm only giving four stars because it was a bit loud in there. The coffee machines were really loud and the people at the tables next to us were loud. I was hoping this would be a chill area to relax and have a conversation. Another reason for not giving five stars is the restrooms do not have a purse hook or paper towels.“

“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.“

“Such a cute little coffee shop. It was wonderful to sit and drink coffee and eat my croissant.“

“My son has a dairy allergy, and the staff took great care not to cross contaminate his sorbet. They used a clean scooper and took the scoop from a fresh container in the back. He loved the lemon mint flavor and wants to come back to try watermelon.“

“Great drinks and food for happy hour!“

“I met a friend for breakfast. We both had amazing crepes and got to catch up in a quite, cozy atmosphere. Great service!“

“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!“

“Love the coffee, sandwiches, salads & of course the staff. They are very friendly and knowledgeable“

“Great yogart. Friendly. Love there products!!!“

“The guy who runs the coffee trucks is super approachable and friendly! You always feel like you’re a regular whether it’s your first time or 10th time getting a great cup of coffee ( or a Matcha) from them! I do wish they had a storefront because I would be there every morning!“

“Best bagel I’ve ever had. Try them and you’ll agree.“

“I was really excited to try this place because my cousin had told me she had an amazing matcha here before. She did mention, though, that it can depend on which barista makes it. After my visit, I can definitely see what she meant.

I ordered the strawberry matcha, and honestly, the color didn’t look quite right when it was all mixed , so I wasn’t expecting much. When I tried it, it tasted like it was mostly milk and didn’t have much matcha or strawberry flavor.

The employee who helped me was super friendly and helpful, so this isn’t a reflection on their customer service at all. From a business perspective, though, I think it would really help to have standardized recipes and mixing ratios so every barista makes the drinks consistently. If you already have recipes in place, it may be worth spending some extra time on training to ensure everyone is on the same page. Consistency is what keeps customers coming back, especially for specialty drinks like matcha. I know this place has the potential to be great, and I hope to give it another try in the future.“

“Just love the coffee and tea here. Not acidic and bitter. Matt, you and your crew do an amazing job! Can't wait to have some 1 on 1s here.“

“Very good quality and tasty drinks. Great customer service and reasonably priced. Highly recommend“

“Their cookies are delicious and so cute! Coffee was yummy too! Love how they decorate all of their baked goods and my daughter and I love how they’ve decorated their store! One of our new favorite places!“

“Go for the donuts but not for the service. First trip there-the donuts were good, the staff was hateful. I would visit another location again, but not the FWB option.“

“Best Coffee...best service...best place! Been going here for more than 15 years and never found a place that has better iced coffee or better service.“

“Super chill place with good music and better drinks. The seasonal options are delicious with the Pumpkin Pie Best Drink Ever being a very very solid option, and high-quality food being available as well. Service is very friendly, even if a tad busy!“

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

“Love their Matcha and the ambiance.“

“Met my buddy here Saturday morning. Was pretty hectic inside but with one person I was surprised how fast the wait was. Sweet barista Kaniah ( I believe sorry for the spelling ) handled it like a champ. We ordered a tea and Americano. Pretty strong coffee for an independent spot. We’re really plain but she suggested her favorites. Just might take her up on that offer next visit. Thanks for the chat and service.“
