Very clean and modern looking space. Reasonably priced items, we got a smoothie and acai bowl for $22 which I think is fair. They don't have a pass out counter so they personally handed out our items which was cool. Looks like they're still working out the operations but the person who helps us was very kind and helped us with the menu. The sunset berry smoothie was delicious, it's had a swirly pattern which was really pretty. Very sweet and not too tart. The paradise fusion bowl was also great, loaded with fruit and toppings. They also have Add ons like fruit and nut butters you can add to customize your items!! I will definitely be returning!! read more

If I was rating the coffee based on price and flavor, id give this 3 stars. I paid 9 plus tip for this drink. At the first couple of sips, really delicious but as a adamant coffee drinker, after those sips it started to taste like sweet milk. I do want to give this place another shot just because the ambience of this place is really cute. Plenty of spots to sit. It isn't your hang out, do homework kind of coffee shop though. More like enjoy while catching up with a friend and leave. I peeped some juices on their menu that I do want to try so I will come back with an edit. For now, given the drink i did try, the nice service and variety on menu I'm at average rating. read more

My family and I visited this location on Saturday, June 13 to enjoy dessert and try something different while we were in the area. We had been nearby earlier in the day and decided to return later specifically to check out their dessert menu. The restaurant is located in the Park West area and is one of the newer dessert spots in the neighborhood. It is surrounded by several other businesses, including The Vig, Lazy Bird, and other restaurants and shops, making it a great stop after dinner or an evening out. Parking is available throughout the area. There is parking in front of the businesses, although some spots may have time restrictions. If you plan to stay longer, there is additional parking available behind the buildings, which offers plenty of space and convenience. The menu offers a variety of sweet treats, including crepes, waffles, ice cream, acai bowls, specialty drinks, and more. Prices generally range around $10 and up depending on your selections and add-ons. For our visit, we ordered: * Blueberry Almond Crepe with added ice cream * Oreo Waffle with ice cream * Oreo Crepe with ice cream Adding ice cream was a $2 upcharge, bringing most of our desserts to approximately $15 each. While the desserts can be a bit pricey, the portions were very generous and filling. Many of the items are large enough to share with another person if you're looking to save money or reduce calories. The Blueberry Almond Crepe was delicious, and the added ice cream complemented it perfectly. The Oreo Waffle came topped with chocolate, whipped cream, Oreo pieces, and two scoops of ice cream, creating a fun and indulgent dessert. The Oreo Crepe was equally satisfying and packed with flavor. Everything was made fresh to order, and we appreciated that the staff brought our desserts directly to our table after calling our name. The presentation was excellent, and each dessert arrived in attractive serving containers. The interior décor was one of our favorite aspects of the visit. The restaurant has a modern, upscale, and luxurious feel with beautiful flooring, comfortable seating, stylish tables, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a great place to sit, relax, and enjoy a sweet treat. One helpful tip for customers is to sign up for the rewards program. You can enter your phone number and receive a text message to complete the registration process. Earning points on purchases is always a great benefit. One suggestion we would love to see in the future is additional promotions or loyalty rewards throughout the week. Family visits can become expensive, especially for groups of three or more. Special offers, punch-card rewards, or discounts after a certain number of purchases would be a wonderful addition for loyal customers. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The desserts were fresh, flavorful, generously portioned, and beautifully presented. Combined with the attractive atmosphere and friendly service, it made for a very enjoyable experience. We will definitely be back again for another sweet treat. read more

Awesome place. Very clean and very well lit. The cashier greeted us right away. He asked if this is our first time? And how did we discover this place? It was our first. They have loyalty rewards if you give your phone number. My daughter found it through TikTok. My hubby ordered a mango and banana smoothie. They used very fresh ingredients. SIL had Green energy. It had Kale, pineapple and I forgot the other ingredients. He enjoyed it. My daughter had the lotus butter cookie crepe. She loves it. I had the white chocolate sauce with raspberries crepe. I have to admit, it was too sweet. My crepe had layers of the whites chocolate and then a thick layer on top. Next time I will have them put half the amount of white chocolate. It's a cool place to meet up with friends. read more

We got the Oreo and Aruba mini pancakes. They're so adorable and warm when they come out. The fruit is a nice addition to the sweetness of the toppings. I think they both had the same drizzle except the Oreo had cookie crumbles and the other fruit. The prices are a bit high but def worth it for the occasional sweet treat. The cafe itself was very brightly lit. There was a line but it did move quick and the wait for our order wasn't bad. read more

I seen people with colorful drinks around the area and I had asked where they got these drinks. I had to stop by and check it out. The owner was nice and helpful and explained to me the drink menu. The drinks are all made with natural fruit and they also have other things to eat. I decided to get a strawberry banana smoothie and it was delicious. It wasn't super sweet or tasted artificial. It really tasted fresh and it was delicious. I would check them out they definitely have other things on their menu that I didn't try but looked great. The vibe inside was great reminded me of something tropical setting definitely give them a try support family own businesses! read more

We went in on Saturday 05/02 around 1pm and one of the owners (Ace) was as the register. He greeted us and helped us with any questions we had or guidance we needed to decide what to get. We don't live too far, but it's still a 20 minute drive, so we wanted to try out a few different items while there. We ended up getting a "peach time" smoothie, "banana nut" iced latte, "dubai chocolate" mini pancakes and "white chocolate raspberry" crepe. Every single item was a hit. The smoothie was the perfect blend of all flavors and each one came through with none over powering the other. The coffee was well balanced with sweetness and had an amazing taste. The crepe was amazing. Soft, gooey, light with melted white chocolate drizzle coating the top and paired with fresh raspberries. And lastly, the dubai chocolate mini pancakes. Perfect bite size flavor bombs to end the lineup. You really can't go wrong with any of them and I imagine that applies to their entire menu. I will absolutely be returning so I can make my way through the menu and try everything out. Everything was made and brought out to us within 10 minutes of ordering. The other owner (Ace) served us our food and was very nice. He sat and talked to us for a few minutes and explained that they use all organic fruits and eventually hoping to franchise out! Establishment was simple, clean, and well put together with nice seating. Hoping for continued success for this duo. They've got something great building and I'm excited to see them flourish! read more

The coffee was not bad, but pretty much unremarkable in that regard. I enjoyed it as a sipping coffee, but it was a little too dark on the roast for me. Not their fault, as they're a multiroaster. Overall, I think it's a great place to grab a coffee, and especially if you like flavored drinks! Perhaps a mocha or a vanilla latte would slap!

Leo's Island BBQ

Shame on me to not share this gem that should be celebrated by all. First, the mac salad at Leo's is hands down my favorite! For the entree, anything curry, shrimp or chicken. I am drooling as I write this! The curry hits you in all the right spots as you take your first bite. The vegetables with the curry are firm enough to not turn into mush and tender enough to eat without teeth :-).... I do not think I've had a plate at Leo's that I have not enjoyed. The dinning area is always clean, even when the line is out the door. The drink station and condiment area is equally as clean and orderly regardless of the amount of people inside. As for the crowds, I've seen UFC fighters, baseball players and ordinary folks like you and I getting their fix at Leo's! I love seeing the same employees for the years that I've been going. Even though I am one face of many that they see. They are very welcoming to every customer who walks in. I can't tell you enough. You must try this place if you have not yet. I just hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Our waiter was amazingly effusive and very good at upselling - though I didn't bite at the upsell, I did get a nice mango margarita, which really hit the spot! You can see a pic of it below. But this man was hungry, I ordered a combo plate. It had a beef taco, a tostada, and an enchilada. With just a little bit of rice thrown in for good measure. OK - now here's the thing. Was the food any good? Was the ambience of the restaurant adequate for the price point? Yes and yes! Gotta say I was impressed. And a special shout out to the waiter, who gladly took a picture of us while we were chowing down our meal! Needless to say the waiter made all the difference, frankly - the service was very impressive and the food was pretty darn good too. Oh, I forgot to mention the chips and salsa? Very garlic forward and a nice little spicy hit and was absolute perfection! The funny part of it is that this place was right across the field from where the Seattle Mariners do their spring training - I had brought my mom here, probably 25 years ago as she was a major Mariners fan and wanted to see this place. Of course the restaurant wasn't across the street back then! But what a cool location and what a nice restaurant. Definitely will return when I'm back in the Phoenix area!

We started with the Ahi Tuna Crispy Rice, which was perfectly crispy with fresh, flavorful tuna on top. We also ordered the Hamachi Sashimi, which melted in your mouth and tasted incredibly fresh. For sushi, we had the Sake Roll and added the seared miso butter, which took the salmon to another level and was one of our favorite bites of the meal. The highlight of the night was when Chef David surprised us with one of his specials: seared yellowtail. It was absolutely incredible--lightly seared, buttery, and packed with flavor. If it's available, don't hesitate to order it! For our signature roll, we tried the Harumi Roll. It was good, but after seeing and tasting more of the menu, we both agreed we would probably order the Yellowtail Trio instead next time. To pair with dinner, we had the Montepulciano, and it was an excellent choice. Smooth, flavorful, and a perfect complement to the sushi. Harumi continues to be one of those places where the quality is consistently outstanding. Between the fresh fish, creative dishes, and attentive chefs, it's hard to make a bad choice here. We'll definitely be back to try even more of the menu!

The majority of the employees (the servers, at least) are 25 and under. Plus, this place gives off Greek restaurant vibes, like the kind where you can get a gyro, spaghetti, or chow mein all in the same place: jack of all, master of none. You think it's all going to be tasteless food, but you would be oh so wrong. Mom and dad (80+, but with it) ordered liver and onions, I got an open faced turkey sandwich, and hubs got country fried sirloin. Everyone agreed that their food was delicious. I can't speak to the others, but for me, the turkey was moist, not dry, and the gravy (which they drenched over my turkey without asking, thank you very much) had really good seasoning to it...not overly peppery like at most places. The mashed potatoes were soft, not chunky, my side of corn was very buttery and NOT served in a bowl of corn water, and my cranberries were from a can (THE BEST KIND, and yes I WILL FIGHT YOU on this). We all ordered pie for dessert and I should have went with everyone else and gotten Key Lime, but I chose cherry. It wasn't the greatest of flavor as, even though there were real cherries in it, it was predominantly cherry flavored goo. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised, and I would come here again. But only with my parents, because I think hubs and I were the only people under 60, lol. 10/2026

Lotsa folks around getting their day started, or doing some work for the day. The energy was perfect, and my coffee arrived promptly. I gave it a sip and went on my way. The coffee was not bad, but pretty much unremarkable in that regard. I enjoyed it as a sipping coffee, but it was a little too dark on the roast for me. Not their fault, as they're a multiroaster. Overall, I think it's a great place to grab a coffee, and especially if you like flavored drinks! Perhaps a mocha or a vanilla latte would slap! Come here for a nice slow morning or if you want a mood boost!

I've been coming here more often recently and every visit has been a great experience. The atmosphere is welcoming, the food and drinks are consistently good, and it's become one of my favorite spots to get some work done or relax. A special thank you to Ace and Esther. They were both incredibly kind, welcoming, attentive, and patient throughout my visit. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in creating a positive experience. Their hospitality made me feel valued and comfortable from the moment I walked in. I also appreciate that the team is always willing to answer questions, make recommendations, and take the time to make sure everything is right. It's not often you find a place that combines great service, quality food and drinks, and a genuinely friendly atmosphere, but Aruba Cafe does exactly that. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for a great local spot with excellent customer service and a team that truly cares about its guests. read more

Let me preface this review by saying that I am reviewing the experience as much, if not more, than…read morethe food and drinks. My wife and I absolutely love New Penny. We actually followed the owners here after frequenting their previous coffee shop, En Route. When they opened New Penny, supporting them was an easy decision. The café is thoughtfully divided into two distinct spaces: a family-friendly dining area and a lounge-style bar area geared more toward adults. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and inviting. There are house-made dishes, local merchandise, a shaded patio, and plenty of charm throughout. My wife's favorites are the Breakfast Totchos and the Acai Bowl. Personally, I am also a loyal Breakfast Totchos fan. As for drinks, the Copper Coin and the legendary Cowboy Latte are both worth ordering. What truly sets New Penny apart, however, is the people. The owners and staff have created a space that feels inclusive, welcoming, and genuinely connected to the community. Support local businesses. Better yet, support local businesses that are doing things the right way. Get to know the owners. Get to know the staff. Places like New Penny don't just serve food and coffee--they create gathering places. Whether you're meeting a friend, taking a business meeting, enjoying a date, or simply looking for a quiet place to sit by yourself, New Penny delivers. One of my favorite local businesses, and one that my family will continue to support.
