I highly recommend getting a scoop of ice cream with it. You can't beat the price! Lowlights: It really sucks that there's no restroom for customers. It looks exactly the same as when I came over 10 years ago and it would be nice to see a little remodel, so it doesn't look as run-down.

I was nearby and wanted some coffee. This place had really good reviews and I can see why!…read more Beanchain is HUGE, lots of space for studying, working or catching up. It was not busy during the week when I came by around 9am. They have a great book selection but ask that you read the books there, not like a take a book leave a book. Lots of delicious looking pastries and food items available for purchase. I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon and it was huge!! Enough for two meals. And it was delicious! I also ordered the blueberry muffin latte which was too sweet for me but still delicious. I would probably get less sweet next time! I can't wait to come back and try something else. Definitely recommend checking this spot out!

Absolutely obsessed with this bookstore café. It has everything I'm looking for in a study spot!…read moreThere's plenty of space to study both inside and outdoors on the patio, which makes it super easy to settle in for a productive session (or stay way longer than planned). The second you walk in, you're surrounded by a romance book-lover's dream. The ambiance feels like stepping into a cozy Hogwarts library. It's warm, magical, and the perfect place to get lost in a book. There is also a vintage-style Photo Booth that will print out two photo strips for $5! I also love the story behind this place starting online and growing into a physical bookstore that now carries such a fun variety of books, plus the cutest hip and trendy merch (hats, book pins, shirts, and more). The coffee is good, and their menu is surprisingly extensive. I ordered the cookie butter latte and was genuinely impressed by both the size and the taste. On top of all that, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Whether you're looking to study, find community, or just yap with fellow book lovers, this is such a fun and inviting space!

I'm not a big reader, so I'm sure this place will absolutely kill it for any book worms. The vibe…read morefelt mainly for the booktok girls though obviously not restricted to that. They sell books, nicknacks, coffee, and even have a photo booth which was cool. It prints out 2 sets of three pictures for $5. The coffee I tried was the banana pudding coffee with banana milk. It sorta tasted like banana, mostly just a milk forward coffee. Just based on personal preference, it was a bit too sugary sweet for me, not as much of that coffee flavor coming through. The cashier was sweet though and even talked about a TV show with me that she noticed on my shirt, which is always nice and welcoming. Worth checking out.

Staff were super sweet and the boba orders came out in a very timely fashion. I ordered the taro milk tea with boba (50% sweetness) and my boyfriend ordered the medium Thai Tea with boba. Both were very good, in my opinion. The taro milk tea had a different taste to it, almost like a residual oolong/herbal taste. Just took me by surprise! Prices were also reasonable. The Thai tea was around $4.25 and my drink (large) was $4.75. Overall, a great pic. They're known for their cream cheese drinks, so maybe I will try that next time!

It would be a good option for people who don't like their desserts too sweet.

The creme is very light and not overly sweet. Bread is mmmmm bread!! They have a few tables in front to enjoy people watching while you enjoy your coffee and pastry. Friendly staff and quick service. Busy location in Asiana Market. Busy on weekends and lot easier to find parking during the week.

The…read morestaff -- shoutout to Jordan & Vivian, who were absolutely wonderful -- are warm, conversational, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. This is the kind of place where you immediately feel like a regular, even on your first visit. What makes Brick Road special goes beyond great coffee. They've created a space that's proudly queer-friendly and welcoming to everyone, full stop. The vibe is cozy and eclectic -- there's a small library tucked in, tasty pastries to go alongside your drink, and when I stopped in, The Golden Girls was playing on a projector. Honestly, perfect. I don't find myself in Tempe often, but Brick Road Coffee has officially earned a spot on my must-visit list every time I'm in the area. Do yourself a favor and stop in.

I LIKE coffee.... A lot. We just recently moved to the area…read moreand have been trying all of the tea and coffee shops that have solid reviews. The line here was crazy long like I had to stand outside and wait to get in and stand in their line inside. All good though it's mostly just because of the odd layout of tables and furniture and things. Overall an excellent place and the coffee was good! Just need to have plenty of time waiting for coffee ...

Whenever I find such authentic places (read: non-franchise / chain venues), I prefer staying longer enjoying the non-replicable ambiance. So it was today. Excellent espresso in ceramic cup. Cozy and relaxed interior, and friendly service. We will be back soon.

Walls have artwork from artists trying to sell their artwork. also there's no customer restrooms. The place is somewhat hidden near the back of the shopping center and their name Gold Bar doesn't scream coffee. Nonetheless they have a wide variety of mochas and it's usually what i get. They do that well. I come here occasionally when im in the area. Is their coffee good enough to get overcome no drive thru no app order ahead? For me on a weekday if prefer modern ordering ahead.

Rock the Holidays!…read more We're nearing the end of the month of November and I've already consumed a fair amount of peppermint. No complaints! The people of Arizona love us some Dutch Bros and I'm glad to hear that they're expanding to other states and are doing so successfully! The workers here are always so nice. I had a chuckle when someone thought my name was spelt, "Jce." And when they saw the Trader Joe's canvas bag recently, I let them smell the corn candle I just picked up. Such interactions wouldn't happen out in the wild. It's great! On my recent visit, I got the Candy Cane Mocha with oat milk. I think when you get a dairy alternative, it's not as chocolate-y but it's still a great drink. Come here when you want those feel good vibes. No snooty coffee snobs, no fuss, and no overly pretentious coffee names.

Coffee and chocolate make it all better…read more Candy Cane Iced Mocha... all before Thanksgiving. Are we foregoing all the pumpkin and apple spiced things? Yes. We are. But it's not my choice so don't side-eye me. If given the option, I have one peppermint mocha a year and this is this year's tribute. It was good, even with oat milk instead of the normal chocolate milk. It's smooth and just what was needed to get me through my errands. I like this location mainly because it's right by one of the gyms I go to. Am I drinking back my calories? You bet. But what is life without balance? You really can't go wrong with Dutch Bros. Order on the app, go to the drive-thru or the walk-up window, and walk away with some a delicious drink.

My sister got the egg saigon coffee and it tastes like an egg tart in a cup. So thick and creamy and flavorful. The interior is also super cute with calm lighting and fun music. Service was relatively quick even though it was busy on the weekend.
