What a beautiful hidden gem in Tempe! I had just finished a…read moredoctor's appointment and was craving coffee, so the name Seattle Espresso caught my attention and I decided to stop in around 9:00 AM. The place was packed, and it was so heartwarming to see so many regulars greeting each other--it instantly gave the shop such a welcoming, community feel. I noticed they've been around since 1993, which is honestly so special to see. The woman at the front even joked that we're not as old as the coffee shop The menu is simple, with some really good specials. I ordered the Russian Twist latte, and wow... it was so good. I could honestly drink it every single day. The coffee was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The prices are very reasonable, the ambiance is cozy, and it's the kind of place where you can work, relax, or just sit and enjoy the vibe. The little fountain outside adds such a lovely touch too. This is definitely going to be my go-to spot whenever I have an appointment in the area.

Great location between sushi and Korean restaurants. Oh myyy!…read more Plenty of parking at this outdoor mall location. Staff is friendly, plenty of seating and bar seating as well. Serve yourself water and utensils. Restaurant is clean and the wait was not too long. You do order via touch screen. I ordered the biscoff bowl and it was soooo delicious. Wowza! My cousin ordered the sunset with strawberries and mango and that was nice and refreshing as well. We ordered small and it was a nice serving size, which I didn't think I would finish, but I polished it off. I will be back to try other items. Give them a try! Really good!

The staff has always been warm, welcoming, and consistent, and the drinks are just as excellent. Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee or meeting up with friends, it always feels like the neighborhood spot where everyone belongs.

They do a phenomenal job, and we look forward to supporting them for many years to come.

I went and got my Playa bowls and then sat down and was gonna go inside and get something to drink, but someone came up to me and said we can't sit there because we have our bowls. I said OK we'll go inside and purchase something and then he said no you can't sit here at all outside food or drinks, which is crazy because it's outside in the public but regardless, I said OK well I can go inside and purchase something first then before I sit down he's like no so what do you think you can buy an espresso shot and just know so if you guys want to go to a place of business, that is actually respectful, don't go here because they're disrespectful rude and he also didn't tell me his name but whoever the old guy is with the eyepatch with shaggy hair. I totally understand that rules are rules. However, there's a total respectful way that people can talk to customers. There's a total appropriate way to address signage. I didn't notice any signage and I would've been more than happy to have either gotten permission to eat on the patio if I would've known those were rules or purchased anything I needed to. He lost business. He definitely lost future customers.

The inside is very clean and relaxing and is a very good place to meet friends or study. I've placed pickup orders more times than I can count, and have also met up with friends and studied there a few times. The drinks are all so amazing!! My family and I have tried at least half of the menu and everything I've tried has been a new favorite. I am always torn between trying something new or getting the orange bianco milk tea, pistachio matcha, or Seoul coffee. They are all very balanced and not overly sweet and you can taste how much care for quality and detail was put into building all of these drinks. They also have options like lactose-free whole milk, oat milk, and 2%. The owner and staff are also always very friendly and always happy to help. Last July they had a banana pudding matcha that was really good (pictured here next to my usual pistachio matcha), and they have had a really good and unique variety of seasonal drinks in the past. I've also tried some of the croffles and those are also very good. I love trying new cafes but the quality and balance of TeaMakers and Company almost always wins in my opinion.

There are usually a couple gals behind the counter, watching the screen while you place your order ... waiting patiently as you peruse their many choices, trying to decide which tea to order. They are super friendly and very helpful. This visit we ordered the ginger chai, vanilla bean cream latte. I preferred the ginger chai, but my sister thought hers was betters. Our second visit we ordered the orange bianco, along with the cream earl grey milk teas. Both also wonderful. Today we ordered the raspberry chocolate milk tea and cocoa cream matcha. I may sound like a broken record, but yes, they were wonderful. It is NOT a boba tea shop; it was, but no longer. Incidentally, if you come the "back" way, entering off Warner vs Dobson, the signage on the back side still says Ni Hao. :-) Since we've already visited them three times, I think it's pretty clear we would highly recommend their teas.

The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming, and the coffee is smooth and enjoyable. My biggest concern is the pricing. Only the regular-size drink prices are displayed, so ordering a larger size can come as an unpleasant surprise. Paying over $8.50 for a 20 oz pour-over coffee feels excessive. Another issue is the limited restroom capacity. There is only one bathroom, and wait times can sometimes be quite long, especially during busy periods. The shop also struggles during the summer months. The air conditioning doesn't seem capable of keeping the space comfortable, and it can become uncomfortably hot inside. I appreciate supporting local businesses and enjoy the coffee and customer service, but the high prices, lack of transparent sizing costs, restroom limitations, and uncomfortable indoor temperatures make it difficult to justify visiting as often as I'd like.

For my latte, the 20 oz option came with 3 shots of espresso. It was very balanced between that roasted espresso taste, creamy, and some sweetness from the cold foam. Sozo has live music and poetry at different times during the week- primarily the weekend. We will definitely be back for some live music. If you go during the day, it's also great for working and they have a private play area for your kids to play while you catch up or work!

The crowd was a mix of students, groups of friends, and a few serious laptop-working folks. It seems like they have live bands over the weekends, which sounds fun. The whole setup gave strong Friends series vibes comfy couches, tables, and that relaxed café energy. They offer a good variety of coffee and tea options. I tried their special vanilla matcha, and unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it at all. It was overly sweet, and the matcha flavor was barely noticeable. I've definitely had much better matchas elsewhere. Maybe this place is better known for their coffee. Overall, it's a nice hangout spot, but I don't see myself going back.

I've been here coming here for over the past 10 years or so and they are consistent. I'm not into the boba but I like the drinks like the usual milk tea, jasmine milk tea, winter melon, and mango to name a few. They did a recent update for their interiors with merchandise so it looks more upscale and clean. I love their surprise series where you get a drink where you get a blind cup for Sanrio character plushies for example. They have a couple claw machines. They also have a self order kiosk for you to optionally order your own drinks or snack food. Fun little place to hang out. A few small tables are outside as well. Will be back again!

There was another pair in the shop and the bobaista was welcoming and friendly. I decided to get the sea salt Vietnamese coffee with boba, regular size (16oz). I wanted to get a large but the gal said they only do the smaller size because of the caffeine content. Fair enough! The drink was delicious: loved the salty foam on the top and the coffee was tasty as always. The boba was chewy and cooked well. Price was comparable to other boba spots: $5.99 plus $0.75 for boba. Would come back when in the area to try other drinks, and maybe some food!
