I had their regular cold brew with a splash of cream and a Sunrise Sandwich- both were so good! The cold brew had a lovely aftertaste that in my opinion, reminded me of dark chocolate and whiskey. Service was also fantastic- the lovely barista was thorough in her explanations of each cold coffee option to help me find what I was looking for! My sandwich was also lovely- the Sunrise Sandwich on an Everything Bagel is easily my favorite breakfast sandwich in Tempe. The Basil Pesto adds a bit of freshness to an otherwise very rich sandwich. Also stopped in a few more times on my evening walks for a Lavender Haze (seasonal earl grey sage honey drink: EXCELLENT!) and their seasonal energy drink- it was a Sunset Spritz (energy with grapefruit pink cordial): both delicious. Happy to say service has improved greatly. Employees are on task and happy to answer my questions. The drinks on the seasonal menu are very good, and their classics are also great. If you're going to go soon, I'm a big fan of the Sage honey and a big fan of the cordial syrup on the 2026 Spring Menu. Will definitely be hitting Infusion up for some future study sessions. Glad to see Infusion takes customer feedback seriously.

There is plenty of seating that can accommodate different size groups. I went with a pour-over, Brazil at the recommendation of the barista. It did not disappoint, great flavor.

My only complaint is that they didn't have caramel for a caramel latte.

My daughter and I walked up to the counter ready to order, and I knew I wanted a mocha--but I wasn't completely sure. Hunter stepped right up to the register, already fired up and ready to help. I asked him, "Do you think I want a mocha?" and without hesitation he said yes! We both laughed, and then he suggested adding vanilla, which had me completely sold. Then he started talking to my daughter about a couple of other drink options, and wow--he had me reconsidering my whole order! My daughter reminded me that I don't like prickly pear, but Hunter kindly let me sample it anyway. Sure enough, I still didn't like it--but he made it sound so delicious and refreshing that I almost believed I would! We left already planning our next visit just to see Hunter again. If you get the chance to have an encounter with him, take it! He truly knows the products and how to market them. And most importantly--the drinks were excellent!!!

It's not a place where you sit and hang out (unless I missed it). It's clean, quick service, order, pay, and go! FYI, if you want to use your card, there's 4% charge. Completely understand, since the CC companies charge small businesses a fee. So, just make sure to bring some cash with you if you want to avoid the fee. Not a big deal.

I…read morehave not been to Coffee 48 before, but have only heard good things, so when me and my coworker were nearby we had to make a stop. I ordered the matcha latte with ube cold foam, and oat milk. I really wanted to try the earl grey matcha latte, but unfortunately the earl gray is pre-mixed with 2% milk so I had to go non-dairy. The ube cold foam was actually the perfect flavor, it had the earthiness and vanilla richness that I was looking for to accent the matcha. The matcha itself on the other hand, was a little too milky for my tastes, and kind of got lost in the ube flavor. I would have loved for it to be a little stronger! There was virtually no wait when I came in, but it's definitely a small space with only 2 seats and a small table, so this is a grab-and-go kind of spot. Don't expect a work space! Overall, a good spot with lots of tasty sounding options, and I think I'll be back to try the coffee.

Parking can be a bit of a hassle, but I did find a spot on the street. You can order at kiosk or at the counter. I tried asking the ladies working here how sweet is the matcha banana creme drink and neither could tell me how sweet but they did offer me to try it and if I didn't like it, they could make something else, that's nice of them. I had a Royal 9 milk tea, light on sugar with boba, iced. Everything tasted good and boba was made correctly with springy chewy consistency. The inside seating is also nice, fun place to come have boba. I'll be back!

I drove from Glendale to Tempe on Sunday morning, just for this coffee experience! I was so happy to find dedicated parking (turn into the parking structure at the address) and Shibam's entrance is just steps away! The service was great and it was plenty of seating available, even though it's a small place inside. I appreciated the fast, friendly service. I chose the Shibam latte (gotta go for the namesake for the 1st visit) and a beef sambusa! The latte was beautifully delicious and the sambusa was flaky and so flavorful! I am gonna add to my order and get the potato sambusa next time! I loved the tactile experience of grabbing the cup of coffee, balancing the filled-to-the-rim cup of coffee and guiding the cup to my lips! Just delightful! I will definitely be back and next time bring friends!

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.

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.

More of a 3.5/5 stars for me, but because my partner really loves Nomad Boba, I'll bump it up a…read morelittle. Nomad Boba is a cozy Vietnamese inspired boba shop with cute honeycomb and bee style decor. There is seating inside on some couches. I would say it's best served for smaller groups of 2-3 people if they're not busy. The owner has always been pleasant, and it's usually just him running the shop, so you may have to wait a tiny bit to place your order if he's making drinks. Nomad Boba definitely leans on the sweeter side for boba shops. I'm typically a 25% sugar level kind of boba drinker, but I have consistently found Nomad Boba way too sweet for me even at 25% sugar level. I'm also not the biggest fan of their matcha blends. For drinks, I would highly recommend their Thai teas. They offer different blends of Thai teas! It's up there for one of the better Thai teas I've had in Arizona so far. What's interesting is that their Thai tea is a little smoky. I love it for that intrigue. Nomad Boba is a little difficult to find in the Culdesac if you're not looking for it. You have to walk toward street side to find it. They offer some fun drinks that other boba shops don't, so it's definitely worth checking out at least once.

Parking is available in the lot or along Apache street. Nomad Boba is a tiny shop but the inside is cute and has some loungy couches to wait for your drinks. The menu at Nomad was more unique than most boba places I've frequented with some interesting combinations. That led me to the blueberry matcha latte. The flavor combination was fantastic and very well balanced. The boba itself was a nice texture and it was FRESH. Everyone in my party really enjoyed their drinks. I will be back for sure.

To be fair, the employee gave me a warning that they use ceremonial matcha which is much stronger and asked me if I wanted to change it out for a more typical matcha powder they use for other drinks. I've had great ceremonial matcha before so I didn't think it would be a problem but for some reason I felt like my drink tasted so odd. I got their spanner matcha which was described to be salted maple flavoring. I'm not sure if it was the matcha or the maple but it had a weird aftertaste that I can seem to describe it other than an expired taste. Because the employee gave me a warning before I would go back and try something else in hopes of a better experience.
