Our barista was friendly and there were good drink options. We could only get cold pastries as they were having issues with their equipment and couldn't heat up anything. A really odd vibe. A coffee shop and tattoo shop in the same space. In the 1-1/2 hours we were there I only saw 4 other people come in. read more

I was staying in Mesa for a weekend and luckily I found this hip cafe right across the street from my hotel. I had a toasted bagel, cream cheese, and a pour-over coffee -- which was extremely flavorful. The cafe is tucked into a small shopping center so you have to look for it, but it's worth it. The owners run the place and are both young, cool, and friendly. It has recently reopened so the decors & branding will likely be updated soon but this is definitely good destination if you're looking for great coffee and a chill atmosphere. read more

Needed to pick me up today & Buddha Brew definitely delivered. Everyone is always super nice and there's always a pretty chill vibe. The coffee is great ofc. It would be a pretty good place to meet up with a friend or do some work. Normally lots of parking too :) read more

I wasn't the biggest fan of the coffee I got here and it may have just been what I ordered. I didn't try any food so I'll have try that next time. I do love that it's connected to a tattoo parlor because that is super convenient if someone was getting a tattoo. read more

No drive thru, HOWEVER very kid friendly. The owner is so sweet and helpful, very kind to my kids and lets them play on the small stage there. They make the best chaga-chino in the valley in my opinion and the breakfast items have several vegan options. Being connected to the tattoo shop is a nice perk too when having ink done. read more

I ordered the Get That Breakfast sandwich on a croissant and a drink that had some type of chai in it, but they don't have a chai latte. The breakfast sandwich was hot, tasty and made quickly. I recommend it. of note, they have a nice and clean bathroom. read more

Bad coffee and bad food. I really wanted to like this place, and after reading the positive reviews and viewing the photos my hopes of enjoying a Saturday brunch with friends were high. The ambience was cute and charming. The service was good, but the food was lacking in both taste and appearance. Our group ordered the following meals; Buddha Tot Breakfast Bowl, Eggs Two See, and Breakfast Quesada. The food wasn't fresh but microwaved/toaster oven and the coffee was mediocre. With a little effort in improving the food I believe this place could be excellent. read more

I tried this place and found it to be a very cool spot, love the way the inside was set up with some really cool paintings and around the coffee house. Got my usual ice latte with oat milk and honey, wish it was more of a coffee forward iced latte, but it wasn't too bad. Avocado and toast was outstanding, definitely worth trying this spot, service is amazing. You'll love this place. Coach "aka the coffee guy" Berokoff read more

I've been here a couple of times and I always like the coffee. It's always tasted so good. The baristas were always nice and helpful because we always love hearing people's recommendations. My favorite thing there is their lavender honey latte. I could get that every time I go. We've tried some of their food and it was good as well. I think it's also cool that they're are attached to a tattoo shop. I've been told their story of why it's like that but I can't remember but I think it's smart and cool! I will love to try more of their stuff especially with holiday drinks! read more

Great coffee, the best vibes, and tasty food! My husband and I love this place! It's perfect for if you need plant based options and basic options. The iced Chaggachino with espresso and coconut milk is delicious. I love the vegan breakfast sandwich, the tater tot bowl, and the vegan bomb Parmesan chickun sandwich but I would request it cut in half. Murphy the owner is a wonderful guy. Make sure to get a royalty card, the rewards are wicked. Pretty cool that it's attached to a tattoo shop and they have live music. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Mesa! read more

Buddha’s Brew Coffee Cafe - Iced Chaggachino with espresso and coconut milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Food is excellent, drinks are great and it is a really peaceful environment. Service with a smile.

This is our second time visiting Buddha Brew. It's in the same space as a tattoo parlor and has a little stage. It's clean, has lots of seating, and good music. The bathrooms are also very clean. We ordered the vegan spinach frittata, eggs 2 see, vegan tot bowl, fruit bowl, and an earl gray iced tea. The food and drinks are fantastic and tasty. I also love that they have a lot of vegan options. When we first got our order they messed up and gave us non-vegan food, but we're quick to correct it. My kids ate all their food and asked for more. I would order the tot bowl, frittata, and fruit again. The reason I only did 4 stars is because the portions are TINY for the price you pay. We left pretty hungry, and did not order more because of the cost. Although I would go here again, I would make sure I'm not starving. read more

Really good coffee and the barista is super nice! Would just love to see more food options that way I could come more often and sit down!

I absolutely love this place. I come here whenever I visit Mesa. The staff is incredible. The food is fantastic. Great vegetarian and vegan options. And don't forget to try the chagaccino and Buddha Bing protein shake. I have yet to try something here i don't like. read more

Just nope. Food was less than meh. I don't even think things were cooked all the way and the drinks were so bad I returned mine and didn't ask for a refund I just gave it back, wasn't walking around with that all morning. read more

Very cute shop! I could work there instead of going to a busy Starbucks! Great look pastries to enjoy as well!

New to the area and looking for something fast and yummy for breakfast and pulled out the handy Yelp app and found Buddha's Brew Coffee Café, checked out the menu and off I went! I knew what I wanted when I got there so I placed an order for Get That Breakfast Sandwich and medium latte. This breakfast sandwich was just what I was craving. It was one egg on a bagel with hatch green chili, turkey, pepper jack cheese and avocado spread. So dang good and filling. The latte was great too! Happy to have wondered into Buddha's and look forward to coming back! read more

This is a very unique space, it combines a tattoo parlor on one side and cafe on the other. Cool art through the space, small stage for musical talent and great food a beverage menu. I'm not vegan and had the owner make me a vegan breakfast sandwich which was amazing. Give them a go, great place! read more

Such a cool coffee shop! I've tried a ton of coffee shops in the valley and was so excited to finally come here! It is cute, I love the set up and it looks like they do live music too. Also you can see into the tattoo shop which is cool haha. I got the 420 matcha hot which is a hemp milk matcha with chocolate. It was really good! Perfect amount of each flavor. The food looked good too, they have a bunch of vegan options! Super sweet baristas too. Would definitely come back again! read more

Dropped in to get a bite to eat. It was about 20 mins to closing time. The owner was super gracious and turned the oven back on for us and made us delicious Bomb Parmesan encrusted sandwiches. They were delicious! Melted cheese, mock chicken, various veggies. For drinks, we had the Oreo iced latte and a coffee. The latte was really yummy. Not too sweet either. The best part was that they have almond milk whipped topping. Extra bonus points! The interior is a slick modern design. Comfortable with lots of room in between tables. They will be incorporating some live music and open mic nights once things get back to "normal". The owner stopped by to ask us how everything tasted and gave us a nice history of the new location. Very personable! Next door is tattoo. We almost missed the entrance because the tattoo parlors sign is more prominent, so keep your eyes open for the Buddha sign and logo. We plan to be back soon because they have really great food, atmosphere, coffee/drinks and the owner is really cool. read more

Came to Buddha's brew for the second time and couldn't remember what I had the last time I came(over a two years ago). The Barista Amber, was so nice she made me two different ones since I couldn't decide. It made my day She also got me a stamp card where the last punch gets you $150 off a tattoo!!! Will definitely be back as the service and the drink was amazing! Also their lavender honey is way better than Starbucks. read more

Mmmm the coffee is wonderful, the food is yummy, the service is great!! It's got an eclectic gently happy vibe that makes you want to stay longer. On the outside it looks like a little hole in the wall shop (the best usually are) and inside you'll find it inviting and chillaxed. It's evident they love good food good vibes, and surprise! There's a tatt shop adjoining, boasting an arguably truly excellent artist, if you are down for that too!! It's a wonderful place run by people with commitment for their passions in food, service, art, travel and more. Did I mention the coffee is amazing? What a GEM of a find, especially the genuineness of the people. Wow! read more

The lavender honey latte was dope. I don't know what it is about this drink, as I normally do unflavored lattes, but but even though this flavor tastes like soap, I dig it, and Buddha's Brew does it well. It's not overwhelming and it tastes pleasant and calming. The place is really cute and welcoming, too. There are a few outlets on the walls if you want to sit at the hi-tops and work on your laptop, and the design of the cafe is homey. Only thing I did not enjoy was the two girls at the counter were speaking really loudly together the entire time I was there, and that was distracting. read more

Updating to say I absolutely love the service here! I am a continuous customer and it's always consistent. Murph and Amber are awesome. They are always so kind and gracious. read more

Came in here cause I was craving a breakfast sandwich and I was out skating around the park with my long board and my small pup :) Called to see how long a sandwich would take and if they accepted Apple Pay since I didn't bring my purse (and they do). Murphy, the owner, answered the phone with high energy! Walked in and same energy as he helped me decide what I wanted. Sandwich was yummy... "Get that Breakfast Sandwich" with bacon and I got a side of taters and the granola bowl with some vegan yogurt... yum yum yum! Thank you for the first experience. I just moved over here and it's like a 12 minute walk or 5 minute long-board session. I will be back :)))) P.s- i love the lowkey hole-in-wall vibes! Really pretty inside! read more

I've been wanting to try more local business and have also been wanting to try Budda's for some time and figured I could kill two birds with one stone. The ambiance and vibe are great at this little coffee shop. It's next to a tattoo shop so if you want some coffee before a tattoo or vice versa this is the place. Unfortunately my first experience was not the greatest. There was only one person at the register both taking orders and making the coffee. I don't mind waiting, but it would have been nice to be acknowledged when we were waiting. A simple "hi I'll be right with you" would have been enough, but we just stood there waiting. Once we were able to place our order we got some coffee and their chocolate croissants. The coffee was ok, not terrible, but nothing special. The chocolate croissant was very rich and delicious. I would suggest splitting it because it is a bit rich. We got our order to go and when we left there was no thank you, not even when my boyfriend told the young lady "thank you have a nice day" did we get a response. I'm very big on customer service and this coffee shop fell short on the customer service. There are a few other coffee shops on Main Street which I want to check out and hopefully have a better experience. I'm not sure I will return here. read more

Oh I so badly want to give them 5 stars cause it's so close to perfect. The coffee itself is great. The way it's prepared it's not too sweet with lot of options for flavor add ins & the seasonal menu always has some creative gems. My kids love the Italian sodas. It made this the perfect place to stop for a treat for them & caffeine for me. The food menu is simple but unlike a lot of coffee places has everything you need for a quick bite for lunch of breakfast not just snacks or pastries. As an added perk they have just as much vegan as non vegan offerings so if you have a mixed group of eaters everyone has options. The service is on point & friendly. It's never too busy or dead. The decorating & the overall vibe is uniquely Buddha's Brew House & I can't wait for it too be cooler so we can make sure of the outdoor seating. I love the inclusion of the elephant nonprofit . It'll be the perfect stop before a morning downtown or at the park. My only complaint comes with how breakfast came out. All good parts that had clearly been in a microwave which wrecked the texture. Sadness read more

Incredible place! I saw this place on my way to another coffee spot and did a quick turn and came here instead. It's beautiful, clean, the vibe is really me! It was medium to low noise level and was perfect for me to end my work day. I love the art work. I had a great iced Almond Turtle with Coconut milk (10/10 would recommend). Katya helped me out today and was extremely welcoming kept the place clean and made me a great turkey pesto croissant! Also (10/10) would recommend and FRESH purchased daily produce by the owner. I am not going to any other coffee shop. I hope the rest of the staff is as great as Katya. read more

Oh yes. 5 stars. 5 for my iced brew that was this almond mocha at quarter sweet. Yum 10 for their espresso machine. Yes it's one of the really good ones, and she knows how to pull espresso! Perfection on a light brekkie. The full 5 stars for a little protein packed frittata stuffed with fresh spinach and little sweet tomatoes and Turkey!!!! Vibe is a full 9 stars! And yeah I took off one star ...because it felt like it was 76° in here - LMAO. Oh yes of your HOT, this is your spot. Service is 10 stars. My little conversation with the barista was nice. I co-own a commercial plumbing business and somedays I Miss come-workers, so a little outside chat about dogs or whatever.. is a nice addition before I return to my home office. Thank you. It was worth my drive. And to be honest, this place beats most all I've visited thus far. I've had really good coffee, yes. But this place is the total package. If someone in Boise UD had not stolen my awesome old MacBook last week, I'd bring it here and work a little. Sighing. Come here. Drive here. Pretty sure you'll be pleased. My hat is off to the owner and team here. Well done. Now. About a little girlie girl tattoo. Sorry no photos. Trust me though. read more

Two vegans walk into Buddha's Brew! End joke. Visiting from LA this weekend and had our sister invite us to Buddha's Brew. As you can see from the photos, this place is very attractive, and the food is so delicious. I ordered the vegan breakfast sandwich and before my second bite I started planning my next opportunity to get the vegan breakfast sandwich before we leave town. The avocado toast is always a great way to gauge proportions. Being that avocado is the new gold on the west coast, some places can be unfair with the amount of avocado they give you. Not here! Full on amazing avocado toast. My fiancé got the vegan breakfast tator tot bowl that was not only vegan but also gluten free!! Totally recommend Buddha's Brew! The coffee is very good, hot to cold options and a variety of non-dairy options! The staff was great and very friendly! read more

My first time here. My drink was good Lavender Honey Latte. My eggs were rubber as they were prepared in the microwave. The server was swamped and I should not have ordered food. Just come here for your drinks and simple baked goods. My friend got a granola parfait and the girl forgot the milk that goes with it. I'll come back and give this place another chance. The place is cute and plenty of tables for guests. I give you guys props for opening right in the path of the light rail. read more

Can I just say... the lavender honey latte is TO DIE FOR! I never knew that lavender would taste so good in a drink. I also ordered the toasted croissant stuffed with chocolate and bananas, which was also topped with honey. It is veeeeery sweet, so I don't recommend this if you're not into dessert-like pastries. Also, the price ($6) is a bit steep for what you get. read more

Vacationed to Arizona this week and got to visit one of coolest and high vibration combo restaurants in Pheonix! This very zen brunch spot called Buddha Brew also features a very well known tattoo shop @oldtownink that was represented on InkMaster by well known artist, Aaron "Bubba" Irwin in 2014! Super cool experience and very good people! Most importantly it was all original and natural food that had me running on all cylinders after the gym. Beautiful paintings and statues all throughout the space with high oxygen producing plants to give even more of that natural vibe! If your ever in Pheonix, AZ this would definitely be a place to try out. - p.s. this post is non promotional and unsponsored just a great experience :) ~ zen__ink read more

A home away from home. When I walked in they were playing The Cure and I was immediately greeted by Murphy with a friendly hello. Their lavender honey latte was full of bold flavor and their mozzarella tomato basil sandwich was like eating fine dining at home. Priscilla was a joy to speak with and really knew the area! The team really knows how to make a place feel homey and capture the flavor and personality of anything they choose to bring to life and share. I look forward to coming back and attending one of their meditation events soon with our dog! P.S. this is an amazing place to work on a laptop. Their wifi is fast and they have both comfortable hi-tops and a big group table! Plus the drinks and food are delicious. read more
