50 Best Coffee Shops in Tempe

“Honey 2 Bee is my daily happiness.
As an ASU student, I stop here almost every morning, and their matcha is truly the best I've ever had nothing else compares. But what makes this place special is the people.
They remember you, they care, and they make every visit feel warm and personal.
Even on stressful days, I walk out smiling. I'm so grateful for Honey 2 Bee. If you want amazing drinks, sweet treats, cozy study spot, a fun place to chat with your friends, and genuinely kind people, this is the best place you could be!“

“Excelente lugar limpio, agradable, servicio muy amable y su comida deliciosa; Arepas riquisimas, te Matcha fabuloso.“

“Jonathan was the best! We sat outside and had the best conversation with him and learned more about the business and his love of baking!“

“If you’re in the Tempe area and trying to have a good shawarma you’re at the right place. Friendly staff and great food. Good portion of food and not heavy on you stomach. I recommend this place. Chicken Shawarma & beef shawarma 🤤🤤“

“This place is so important! Delicious food and drinks, relaxed community atmosphere. Love it!“

“I work in downtown Tempe but like to write in my free time. This is an ideal place to spend my lunch doing that and it’s just a five minute walk away. Love the peaceful patio, the waterfall fountain, the coffee and the food. The staff are super friendly as well.“

“We enjoy good coffee and this is the best we have found in the valley so far. Excellent coffee!“

“We absolutely love this donut shop! We did a doughnut tour of all of the grape donut shops in the Phoenix and Tempe area first off the bat. The customer service is amazing family owned so so sweet. You don’t get customer service like they give at the shop in many spots anymore. Next, as we did the tastings, we found that of all the donuts that we tried at multiple different shops multiple different flavors. They were by far our number one pick in this area as well. Highly recommend taking the time and effort in any distance out of the way to go to Sesame donuts! also have gluten-free and vegan options“

“Let’s see if you care enough to respond- So disappointed!Why are you charging for 20 oz drinks and serving in obviously undersized cups that when weighed are only 15 oz including the cup?!? Using holiday cups w your logo and paying for them by undercutting what your regular loyal customers are paying to get is a lowsy way of doing business. Stop using the undersized cups to up off your regular loyal customers as a means of paying for your holiday cups! Or, 🤔 maybe customers should be warned that they’re not getting what they are paying for- unsavory and poor business practices. And update your menu! No excuse to not serve sugar free and low fat options when diabetics and weight conscious clients are also paying clients who now have to go elsewhere because you don’t serve them! Shame on Bikini Beans! Or did you think that girls in things w sweat dripping off their bodies while making our drinks and overly sugaring drinks will make up for inadequacy?!? And make sure that your scantily clad servers at least wear antiperspirant and take the time to write what the drink is on the lid so when omeone orders two or more (as I have been for sometime now) they can actually tell which drink is which! Do the photos below look like something you’d pay for and actually consume w confidence?!? Now let’s see if Bikini Beans even cares enough to reply!“

“Forgot to take pics of our drinks but got the watermelon lime, orange lemongrass peach tea, and hand smashed lime tea. The orange lemongrass peach tea is a Vietnamese classic and they have a perfect version. Highly recommend this place! Drinks came out very quickly.“

“Selfishly, I hesitate to leave a review only because I want to keep this place all to myself. There are a variety of comfortable seating options, both indoor and outdoor. The vibe is less funky than Window Coffee Bar's other locations, but it is absolutely perfect for working on a laptop. It has Wi-Fi, is not too loud, the lighting is good, there are good food and coffee options, and the location is wonderful. It's accessible by walking, biking, and light rail (as well as by car). It's just far enough from campus to feel a bit more grown up than the cafes near ASU. As someone who is pretty picky about coffee shops for working, this one checks all the boxes. I'll definitely be returning again and again.“

“The best part about coming here is how pretty it is!! I honestly could just sit here all day and feel relaxed!
The barista is always so sweet and in a great mood! I need to ask her name next time.

I always get coffee but today I tried a matcha and added some vanilla. It’s really good and even my husband enjoyed it.“

“Chill place for morning coffee, the have all the doors open …. Just a chill place.“

“Jasmine Jo: Where coffee meets flowers.

Okayyy! She's cute! She's real cute. As a soft girl with a penchant for cozy aesthetic, I can appreciate what they're doing here. Exposed brick, pressed velvet couches, grandma chic throw rug, and gold fixtures with pink and green being the color theme. I dig.

Rose Cake ($7 - Rose water syrup latte topped with rose cold foam and rose petal garnish for an elegant and delicate floral flavor): This drink is the wifi password for a reason. It's nicely balanced and quite delicious, even with the oat milk substitute. Rose lovers rejoice. It's a great latte.

Queen Bee ($7 - Lavender honey syrup topped with honeycomb creating a lightly sweet and floral latte): I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the biggest lavender fan whether it's the scent or for consuming because it's such a strong scent and taste. When used lightly, I enjoy it. This place is a little more generous with their lavender which is great for you lavender lovers but for me? It's a little overpowering. With that said, it was still a great latte.

I definitely want to pop in again and explore more of their great menu. They offer food and seasonal flavors so it seems promising. There's plenty of seating here too so it's great if you want to work it study here.“

“Great dog friendly patio, yummy coffee & nice staff! ♥️“

“I love the bubbly personality of the baristas, I find when Im not sure what I want they make a great recommendation too! Love all the specialty drinks- The BEST!!“

“They have the best coffee around! Everything is good - the latte, drip, cold brew. It’s never bitter and always smooth. Their food is good too. I love their breakfast burritos!“

“Very clean, staff was very friendly. We are just visiting from out of state and checking out different coffee shops & the atmosphere was warm & inviting. Great ice coffee!“

“I visited Press Coffee and ordered the Black Peach tea, which was excellent (I did have honey added). I was there with several friends, and despite the coffee shop being nearly full, the staff did a great job getting everyone’s drinks out efficiently.

One downside is parking—it’s very difficult to find nearby since the shop is located within an apartment-style complex. There is outdoor seating available, but be aware that conversations can be often drowned out by frequent airplanes flying overhead.“

“Aside from the bartender hitting on me constantly, this place was great. Always asking how's your meal? Would you like another drink? Can I get you anything else? Heres your check, etc. You get the idea. I mean really, can't a guy just eat a meal? Lol. Just kidding. This place is great. The cook is awesome and the staff is super responsive and attentive. 👍👍👍👍👍“

“My pup and I always enjoy stopping by this location for a weekend coffee and a pup cup. The barista team is always super friendly and helpful.“

“Cartel Roasting Co. has a great variety of roasted coffee beans. Once you get used to Cartel Coffee quality, you will find yourself returning for more.“

“No wonder why the line has been always longggg!!! My first time at Dutch Bros, but I always drive past this location to go to places. For years, I’d always wanted to stop by and find out why the line is always so long; never had a chance. This Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday around 10am, saw only 2 cars in line. Finally had my luck to try their coffee!! I got an iced Annihilator (Thank you so much to the guy with gray beanie and glasses - So sorry I didn’t ask what his name was — what a nice guy, insisting to give me this free coffee as my first time here!) I love the coffee a lot (very creamy, smooth, not too sweet), and will definitely stop by again. What a great first impression!❤️🙌🏻“

“Their gelato is amazing!!“

“Great coffee, food, and vibe. Such a vibrant space to meeting people or take a break.“

“Great cappuccino in a beautiful cup. Feels like you are in Europe.“

“My girlfriend and I made a stop here before attending her graduation ceremony. I haven't been to Better Buzz since I moved away from San Diego a while ago, and man it's as good as I remember.

Jared was very energetic and welcoming, and the drinks the crew made were phenomenal! I'm glad we made this stop before we left.“

“Great Chai, Delicious Banana Bread, And An Awesome Bike Technician ❤️🚴“

“Happy Joe is the best coffee and always has fun flavors and the nicest funniest baristas. When I’m not in Tempe I crave Happy Joe. It is the best.“

“We love the Pup Cups. I'm a fur mom of three fur babies and they love their cups.“

“Excellent food choices and extremely friendly service.“

“I live here.“

“Talisha is so friendly and prompt! ? My Saturday morning routine is to get a hot nonfat latte to sip while I do my shopping. Never disappointed. Worth your time to go here when you're out and about, regardless that there's a freestanding location in the parking lot!“

“I almost always have a positive experience here. One thing I wish they would fix is that dreaded block of time in the middle of the day when they don’t use the speaker box to take orders, so it takes twice as long to get your drink. Other than that, I like this place and it’s a reliable go-to for my caffeine fix.“

“Ive been a barista for 10 years and this is still my favorite coffee drive-thru.
It is consistent with quality of beverages, an inventive menu, friendly, genuine baristas, and fast service.

I have yet to find a flaw in this tight ship that is this business. You guys blow me away every time.

Also shoutout to the guy in drive-thru with cool earrings and dyed hair. He was super patient with my million questions I asked.

Give him a raise!
-A happy customer“

“This is the second time BetterBuzz in Tempe has completely lost my drive-thru order between the mic and the window. No name, no ticket, no apology—just completely confused. Today I ordered a simple hot Americano with half-and-half and sugar-free caramel and again they couldn’t find it and tried to give me someone else’s drink. The girl at the window just said there was an Americano under “Lori” (my name is Joyce) and that it was “close enough.” It wasn’t the same order. Then she told me they would just add the sugar-free caramel after the fact. Their drive-thru system and customer service are a mess. I won’t be back.“

“Able to get street parking on a weekday. Cute vibes, plenty of seating inside and outside. I had a plain cold brew that was delicious, also tried a seasonal iced drink but it was missing the cold foam it promised so that sucked it was not made as advertised. A few people were hanging out on their laptop.“

“Great service and great coffee!“

“Excellent customer service. order was perfect. Polite. friendly & professional“

“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.“

“Love the friendliness there!“

“The barista this morning made the best Frappuccino I've had in awhile, she was great. Really redeemed Starbucks and a negative experience I've had at a nearby Starbucks at Safeway. This one is consistent. Always good staff and good drinks.“

“The food is delicious! Customer service is outstanding! This is going to be our home away from home!“

“Excellent food service and atmosphere outdoor eating.“

“This is hands down the best Starbucks in the area. Mya is literally a Starbucks mermaid. She’s great at always making our orders the way we asked and they take the time to draw cute designs on the cups which for me is an added bonus getting to see what the baristas can made today! I love it! This is my regular Starbucks now. Thank you!“

“Floral department. Always the absolute freshest flowers in town. Any special occasion I have , I always know I can depend on Safeway to come through for me.“

“I highly recommend this starbucks in target. The service, friendliness, and personable atmosphere is amazing, especially from Casey. The coffee is always super hot the way it is suppose to be. I go to different starbucks and this one is the best one.“

“My favorite Starbucks in Tempe Best employees 😊“
