    This place is the hole in the wall you want to stop by for dessert & coffee. The PERFECT desserts you can't find ANYWHERE else!!! The customer service is amazing also! The girl at the front was super helpful, sweet, and quick! The flavors of this place! OMG! Sooooo gooooddd!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Such a cute spot!! The staff was super friendly and even gave us some great recs since it was our first time :)) You have to try their Biscoff Cookies! life changing

    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!

    Fresh baked pan de sal!

    OMG! I have been wanting to try their longanissa breakfast sandwich. My daughter took me for Mother's Day today. So delish! This Filipina owned mother and daughter spot is so special. The drinks, the service the pastries were amazing! The pan de sal is made fresh daily! The best I had in a long time. We even took some to go! Please support this locally owned small business.

    Dropped in this morning for a white hazelnut latte and tried the new Spicy Beef Breakfast Sandwich. 10/10. It's flavorful and not too big or greasy. Highly recommend!!

    Great new coffee shop in Downtown Phoenix! I ordered a Nutella latte and it was excellent. They have great Filipino pastries they make every morning (they gave me a sample). Highly recommend checking it out!

    Longanisa and Egg Sandwich is a hit , Pande Sal Bun is perfect

    Chill atmosphere! Dessert and sandwiches ordered were yummy and savory. Ordered drink was a perfect balance of sweetness. Not in the picture is silvana, it's creamy, crisp and just the perfect sweetness. Mother and daughter team, very friendly people and atmosphere Will definitely come back

    Samples! Yummy

    Something different, something new! Had Filipino pastries and I am not mad at all! Loved it all! The service was quick and all the questions I had were answered. The ambience was calm. I will be back soon!

    Me and my bf finally decided to try out Central Bean Cafe since we would always drive past it and it was amazing :) The decor was sooo cute and the music in the background really created a peaceful atmosphere. The owner was very friendly! She gave us samples and explained the pastries to us too. Everything was delicious ! One of our new favorite spots now for sure. They also sold rlly cute charms :]

It was my first time trying it and the combination of a warm cookie with ice cream was perfect. The ice cream melted into the toppings and made every bite so good! I recommend sharing one because it's small but mighty. I chose to build my own with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and almonds. The service was kind and welcoming!

    I have seen many food trucks while working on the various Arizona State University campuses, though…read moreI was recently introduced to The Scookie Bar, and what a treat it was (literally and figuratively!). There is a nice variety of sweet treats, and the service provided by the team inside the truck was stellar. One of our student organizations was hosting The Scookie Bar, and after walking around their event, you could score a ticket for a complimentary Scookie. As we pre-ordered so many as incentives for our students, I thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately, something wasn't set up properly so we didn't have the cookies themselves, but we did have sundaes. We had six options to decide between. I went with The Standard consisting of vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, and chocolate sauce, and on a normal day, there would have bene a chocolate chip cookie, too. The other five options included the Chocolate Lover, The Celebration, The Signature, Reese's Lover, and The VNA. While I enjoyed the sundae, I'm sure it would have been even better with the cookie included. The Scookie Bar is "where the scoop met the cookie" and serves freshly baked, warm deep-dish skillet cookies also known as scookies. They have a location at The Churchill in Downtown Phoenix, though I would assume I would more regularly see them when their food truck stops by ASU. Their Churchill location is closed on Monday but open Tuesday through Friday from 5-10 PM and Saturday and Sunday from Noon to 10 PM. If you want to order catering, it includes 2 hours of service and a 100 scookie minimum. They can provide a Build Your Own Menu where guests can choose the cookie, ice cream, and toppings, or they can choose from the Signature Scookie Menu which is what ASU did. They have been operating since 2016 in Phoenix. Now that I realize that I was missing the chocolate chip cookie, I need to try it again with that included! I definitely recommend this sweet treat to others.

I can't speak on the customer service as we never left our table and our waited just walked over and got what we needed. We were pretty stuffed from our massive meal, but we decided on sharing a cup of gelato just to satisfy our sweet tooth. I peeked inside as our table was right at a little walkway from the restaurant to the bakery. Gelato is just one of many things they serve here. They also have all your typical Italian desserts. Cakes like tiramisu, pastries like Italian flag cookies, cookies like Italian wedding cookies, cannolis of different varieties, and of course gelato. What was suggested to us if we wanted gelato was the hazelnut flavor. I was expecting a little cup for the 6 of us just to get a taste, but what he brought over was a massive serving. I don't know how many scoops it was or even how much we even paid, but we all got plenty with some even left behind. Now this gelato was life changing. Probably the best I've had in the states. I know it's gotta be way better in Italy, but I'll take what I can when I can. Think of a Ferrero Rocher but in gelato form. It was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a little crunch with bits of chocolate and hazelnuts. My sweet tooth was extremely satisfied after having dessert here. I have literally been thinking about that gelato since I left Phoenix. Luckily this company has locations in Texas so I will definitely be seeking out this gelato soon.

    The Sicilian Butcher is one of my favorite restaurants in town. So, my recommendation is that you…read moremake it a one-two punch. Have a meal at The Sicilian Butcher and then follow that up with dessert at The Sicilian Baker. There are several locations in town, with this one being in North Phoenix. On my most recent visit, I stopped by on a Thursday. Parking tends to be busy in their complimentary lot, but you'll find a spot. Ambiance (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is connected to The Sicilian Butcher. It's a small bakery, with only a few seats. More of a grab-and-go type of spot or the source of your dessert if you're dining at the restaurant. While small, the decor and ambiance is nice. Service (3/5): A little bit of bad luck, but on my most recent visit, they were having trouble with their refrigeration so no gelato was available. While interacting with the staff, it was an average experience. I will say that the service was much better in the restaurant. Drinks (N/A): I only got dessert, but they do have coffee and a few other beverages available. Food (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is known for its cannolis, tiramisu, gelato, and lobster claws (dessert, not real lobster haha). On my most recent visit, I had a cannoli. They have your classic cannoli but also a nice variety of other fillings including pistachio, Reese's, and more. A+ for creativity, though I decided to stick with the classic. Solid. In fact, all of the desserts I've had here over the years have been quite good.

If you're looking for quality cheesecake and outstanding customer service, I would definitely recommend stopping by.

It's smooth, rich without being too heavy, and the flavor actually develops as you eat it instead of just being one-note sweet. You can tell they take this part seriously. Leave it outside the fridge for an hour and watch that cheesecake melt on your tongue crystals (if you have the patience for that) Their rotating monthly flavors keeps things interesting, and you're not just stuck with the same lineup every time. Out of what I tried, the banana pudding one was easily a standout--super nostalgic, creamy, and just done right without being overly sweet. The coconut one was also up there, more subtle but still really clean and flavorful. Love me some coconut! They also have a punch card system--buy 9 slices, get the 10th free--which is a nice touch. It lowkey turns into a mission because once you've tried one flavor, you kinda want to work your way through all of them anyway. Now...the downside. The customer service just isn't great. It's not aggressive or anything, just noticeably lacking. There's not much warmth or engagement--it feels pretty transactional. For a place that clearly puts effort into their product, you'd expect at least a baseline level of hospitality, and it's just not really there. So overall, if you're going to Banhams, go for the cheesecake. The rotating flavors keep it fresh, the quality is legit, and it's definitely worth trying. Just don't expect much from the service side, and you'll enjoy it a lot more.
