Sweet Filipino cafe & coffee shop on Central Ave (Uptown area)! Family owned and they are SO warm and friendly and really love sharing their creations with customers. Tried the spicy beef lonnganisa & egg breakfast sandwich. With a spicy sauce and pickled jalapeños, the soft and slightly sweet bun compliments the salty sausage and egg really well. SO delicious! Also grabbed a few pastries to try: the Silvana cookies and classic brazo de Mercedes (soft meringue rolled around a firm lemon curd filling). Perfect with tea or black coffee! The space is clean and airy, with plenty of seating. Will need to come back and try their flavored coffees, which seem popular and their Sansrival cake and Une brazo de mercedes (which they had sold out of today)! read more

Cute and cozy family owned business in a convenient location! For my first visit, I ordered a white hazelnut latte, spicy longganisa, scrambled egg sandwich and silvanas cookies. The hazelnut latte was very good, silvanas cookies were delectable-rich without being heavy and lightly sweet. The star was definitely the spicy longganisa sandwich. Pan de sal was so flavorful and fluffy and perfectly complimented the juicy sausage patty and perfectly cooked eggs. Service was efficient and friendly. This cafe is a great addition to the uptown neighborhood. read more

Very quaint, cute family-owned cafe. I got to talk with the daughter and she explained that she runs the front of the house and all the drinks, and her mom does all the baking in the back! You can't get more authentic than that! I couldn't help but try a few things. There are not many places doing Filipino style desserts, so I gave in and splurged. I got a slices of Sans Rival ($8), original brazo de mercedes ($5), and ube brazo de Mercedes ($5), and of the three, the Sans Rival was my favorite. It tasted very light, but wish the meringue was a little crispier and there were more cashews. The brazo de Mercedes wasn't bad, but I think I learned that I'm just not a big fan of this dessert haha. The meringue roll outside was okay, but the filling was super dense. I know this wouldn't be traditional, but it almost needed a light cream or something to help marry the outside and inside. One piece of feedback I'd give the cafe is that the plastic take out boxes are very flimsy - I was scared one of my desserts would fall over or crush the one below it. Overall, very cute cafe to check out if you're in the area! read more

This quaint cafe is next door to our pup's groomer so decided to try it. It's pretty, clean cafe with wonderful service - very friendly; nice music in the background. I had cappucino with Sansrival cake - you get a massive slice. Its light meringue layers with buttercream and cashews - delicious, I thoroughly enjoyed it! They have sandwiches available, fresh & made to order. Large variety of caffeinated & non‐caffeinated drinks and of course sweets. Definitely be back to try other offerings. read more

Amazing! Review for sandwiches only. Came in because another place was closed. Best surprise ever!! THE SANDWICHES ARE SO GOOD!! 100/10. They bake the pandesal bread in house. It looks like the patties are in house as well. The sauce, patties, bread - everything was so good! If you're familiar with Michelin recognized Kasama in Chicago, this is a good dupe!! Very yummy flavors here at Central Bean Cafe. read more

Best & Softest Pan De Sal In Phoenix First Time Visit First Impressions Very airy and wonderful aesthetics designed decor with an upscale vibes across from JL Patisserie and next to King Pigeon Vintage & Thrift Store. Pesto, Sun Dried Tomato on Ciabatta- Very soft ciabatta bread. It's very good. Nutella Latte- Very good. Their coffee beans are from Xanadu. Pan de Sal- The softest well made roll. They make this fresh daily in house. The best in Phoenix! Served with jelly and cream cheese. This is the spot to find the softest pan de sal. Torta de Cebu- It's very light brioche with sugar and cheese. It's very good. A very relaxing place to study with soft music in the background. You can take dates here for an intimate talk. Good for a business meeting. You can even order lechon Cebu style. Just call them and ask. Overall this place is great. You got Uptown Plaza close by. read more

TRY THIS PLACE OUT!!! You must get the Longginsa breakfast sandwich!!! I had the Nutella coffee it could have been stronger as far as the coffee but it was good and not too sweet. The Longgnisa breakfast sandwich was the star in my opinion! 10/10 must get! The sausage patty was house made it's sweet and salty, the bread pan de sal is also home made and it's delicious! It's a perfect balance! They due sell out because everything is house made so make sure to order early! The service was amazing! The owners are super sweet and welcoming! It's like you're having someone home cook meal in all the best ways! The inside is small but very cute decor! Try it out and tell 10 friends! Gotta keep this place around for a long time! read more

A great find! My husband had mentioned this place to me and thought since we're in the area we would drop by and check the place out. It was a cute and quiet atmosphere. They had beautiful paintings up on the wall and plenty of area to sit down to and get some work done. Ariana was friendly, welcoming, and informative with all the questions I had about the drinks and pastries. She also offered pastry samples which was great because I wasn't too familiar with all of them. I ordered the ice white hazelnut latte with just the right amount of sweetness. I also ordered the Sansrival cake and the Silvanas cookie. I definitely enjoyed the Sansrival cake especially the Silvanas cookie! I love how soft and delicious the Silvanas cookies were. Every bite brings me back to the Philippines; such a nostalgic feeling. I bought a pack of 6 and didn't even want to share but I did of course share which made me realize I should have bought another pack! Check them out and please do try the Silvanas cookies they're an absolute delight! read more
