I am so glad we randomly ran across Deseo! Such a cute, clean coffee "shack". They have a unique hot food offering, coming from the off-site kitchen next door, as well as quick bites like vegan (and regular!) banana bread, danishes and coffee cake. Inside + outside seating. We ordered a mocha, canelita and potato, breakfast and guava empanadas. 10/10! Definitely skip the Starby's and swing by Deseo! read more

At first this coffee shop was a little hard to find but once I saw the little sign out front I knew was I was in the right place. It's a very hidden gem across the street from the Mexican food restaurant. I walked in and I wasn't really greeted at first. But then the other guy that was working came out to say hello. He gave me a menu. I looked it over and I was a little confused at first. I ordered the caramel macchiato, which was not on the menu, but it was posted on the wall. I came when there was an hour left until it closed. The customer service wasn't that great. Also I really liked my drink, but I thought it was very overpriced. I paid over eight dollars for a medium sized caramel macchiato. I thought I would try a new coffee shop in the area. I did enjoy my drink, but I just felt the customer service felt off and the items were very expensive. read more

A cute little shop in the middle of a parking lot. The drinks were all a hit and I LOVE how unique they are. The cherry latte with cherry cold foam was gorgeous and delicious all in one. The Cafe' de Olla was so amazing. We were told that it would be kind of bitter and not as sweet but it was sweet and perfect. Definitely a 10/10 for the drinks. They only have to go cups, no for here cups to add to the aesthetic. The place is decorated really well and you can tell there's a lot of thought in it. The outdoors is so cute as well, there is a gate so that if you're with kids they stay in the cafe area and don't run into the parking lot. One negative I had was the smell in the coffee shop. I couldn't sit in there for long so I was happy that there was an outdoor seating area. It had a very strong and sharp smell. The only thing I could compare it to would be kitty litter. Another negative was the wait. Only one barista which I can understand and give slack to, but I didn't understand why people who ordered after me got their drinks before me if they were both coffees. Didn't make sense. But I don't regret coming here, the drinks were worth it in my opinion. Wish I could give a half star. read more

Tried a new coffee shop today and got my first stamp in my coffee passport! Loved the vibe here, it's super cute inside and plenty of parking which is always a plus. I ordered an iced tres leches latte with oatmilk and it was definitely on the sweeter side, but yummy. I also grabbed the GF banana nut muffin and it was delicious. Friendly staff and overall just a really nice spot to hang out or catch up with a friend! read more

Stopped in for midday coffee on a Thursday. A few folks hanging out. It was raining the day I went so the patio was not usable although it looked nice. The interior is small, but has cozy feel. The service was friendly. The menu consists of the coffee shop standards plus a lot of speciality and seasonal drinks. I was in the mood for something simple so I opted for an Americano with a bit of whole milk in it. Drink arrived promptly. Had a nice, mild flavor, did not have an acrid or bitter flavor on the back end. All in all, a nice Americano. N*joy! read more

Deseo is super cute inside and the food is delicious. My husband loved his empanadas and I wish I had ordered that too. My breakfast sandwich was good, but not exciting. He also really liked his drink (we both got the iced Canelita latte) but it was a tad on the sweet side for me. Overall I would come back but beware, this is truly a shack so the seating inside is really minimal. We were lucky and got seats at the counter but at times there were so many people waiting that it felt a little overwhelming. There is outdoor seating but not much shade. read more

This coffee shop is in a plaza with a pre school and other businesses. There is parking available and they have seating inside and outside/ their kitchen is right next to the shop and they have a few breakfast items. I tried their chilaquiles weigh barbacoa and a fried egg with green salsa. This was a very mild sauce. Not spicy at all and the meat was soft and cooked perfectly. The mazapan latte was very good. Not super sweet but just enough. You can also taste the espresso which I absolutely love. The staff was very kind and helpful. Will definitely be back read more

Great spot for catching up with friends, remote work, etc. the staff was so friendly and helped me with the menu. I got the mazapan iced and it was delicious, they even gave me one of the little cookies. My friend got a matcha. There is cute outdoor seating too read more

I met up with a friend here for coffee on a Sunday around 1130a and it was pretty slow, but it definitely picked up between then and 1230. The Mexican/southwestern themed decor is fun, and they offer indoor and outdoor seating. The drink menu is pretty simple, and they also offer pastries and breakfast sandwiches, tapas and other breakfast items. There were also some fall specials listed on a sign outside. I ended up ordering the pumpkin snickerdoodle cold foam cold brew and it was great! I can't wait to come back and try some of their food items! read more

Been going to Deseo for 2 years now and we love this place! Our fave food is the El Paisano (although a tad spicy for me). This day we tried the Tacos de Papa, which was good and filling. Only comment is that we wish it was traditionally folded like an actual taco. The way it's folded made the potatoes spill out to the side. Otherwise the flavor was gooood! I always get the same coffee at all the places I go to (honey oatmilk latte). They make it pretty close to perfect! Not too sweet and not too milky. It's a small cottage and they have a very cute aesthetic. I love the art all around. But if you plan to sit down to enjoy your coffee or food, don't go during rush (lunch/ breakfast). read more

Such a cute Mexican American coffee shop. I loved the decor, the service and the vibes. I got abuelita chocolate and my friend got a latte and they were both amazing. I also love they offer breakfast items like chilaquiles. The tables outside are super cute and plenty of space to sit and enjoy coffee. If you're in Phoenix area I definitely recommend. 10/10 read more

Needed a coffee on our way to the botanical gardens and decided to stop by here. I realized after that I had it bookmarked already.. so it was meant to be! The inside is so cute!! There's also a nice patio area with some seating. They had so many unique latte options but I knew I had to get the chocolate covered strawberry. It was delicious!!! Definitely a little on the sweeter side but exactly what I needed today. They also have a yummy menu of inventive food options.. I will need to come back to try some food soon. Staff was friendly and our drinks came out quick enough considering they were busy. read more

after seeing a couple of folks recommending this coffee shop on TikTok, I finally had a chance to stop by. Inside, you'll find ~3-4 tables and a couch. Seating outside is much more abundant. I had a medium canelita and as the name suggests - it was very cinnamon-y. It was sweeter than I was expecting but had great flavor. It was smooth and creamy. While I wish that the coffee flavor was more pronounced, I still thought it was a good latte. Our drinks did take a little while to come out (folks were coming in and out) but I didn't mind waiting. If you're in a rush, give yourself ample time so the baristas have time to do their thing. read more

Came to check out deseo since I saw it online and thought it looked good. The area is really small, but very cute. I really liked how they have it decorated inside. My coffee was okay, the espresso in my drink didn't seem to be too concentrated. The girls making the drinks took a while to get us our stuff, and there was no one else in the cafe. I sat there for a while and waited. read more

The vibe at this shop is adorable. It's a tiny little shop with a few tables, couch, counter, bathroom, and large outdoor area. It's a little cramped with a morning rush. Staff were pretty friendly. I ordered the café con Leche, which i expected to be sweet but it wasn't. A medium was made with one espresso shot and two scoops instant coffee. a lot of their drinks have instant coffee. It's gives it a different taste, and honestly is a bit weaker. I thought they were pretty good but price felt high knowing it had instant coffee.. read more

Berto is the best! It's fall y'all, and the signature fall drinks at Deseo all deserve a day of their own to be tasted. the coffee is so rich and the flavor pairings are in art. Highly recommend mixing the Abuelita mocha with the pumpkin spice, half sweet, iced, with oat milk. Ask Berto;) Their food selection is very creative as they have a kitchen next-door. The interior is so cute and they have a well sized patio with umbrella picnic tables. read more

My first time visiting and it was a positive experience. My latte was delicious but light for my preference. Service was great.

What a hidden gem! We wanted a good matcha drink while we were in the Phoenix area. We had the strawberry match and a unsweetened iced matcha. The bonus was for our third wheel (who got a treat as well). The service was friendly and the patio was so inviting. We will definitely return when in the area. read more

This is easily one of my favorite coffee shops. Their drinks are on the sweeter side and espresso is more of a light roast. I don't think I can get their coffee everyday but it's my favorite for a weekend treat. You are able to substitute your milk for alternatives like oat, and you can ask them to adjust the sweetness. Their food is also really good. read more

This place is somewhat hidden from the main road. I followed my GPS and turned into a parking lot even though I didn't see the business, but luckily they had a little sign out front that pointed me in the right direction. It is located next to several other businesses, so there is lots of parking available. Inside is fairly small, but there's lots of seating outside available. I was surprised that even though it is spring, inside was still very warm in my opinion... I can't imagine what it might be like in the summer! Honestly, this was my only complaint, though. The canelita latte was so delicious, I finished it in just a few sips on accident! I also enjoyed the el paisano breakfast sandwich, which was recommended to me by the very friendly barista. read more

A hidden gem you would not expect to find near the corner of 24th and McDowell, Deseo is always full, and for good reason! With a menu of speciality lattes and pastries, this is my go to when anywhere near the area, or time permits to go out of my way. The tres leches is by far the favorite, but the akway have abeulita mocha and camelia.The banana bread is worth the try too! Heads up it does take a few minutes to make and there is no drive thru. read more

Let me start off by saying I wish I could give half stars! The coffee (tres leches latte) and food (el Chicano + bacon) I ordered were amazingggg. However, the wait was way too long and customer service was not the best. When ordering, I had asked if they had skim milk and was told they had 2%. The person helping me at the register went onto say the tres leches latte also contained evaporated and condensed milk. I said oh, that makes perfect sense for a tres leches, 2% is completely fine! My friend and I took a seat to wait and she got her drink fairly quick (less than 10 minutes). She had paid for my food/same order, and yet several other people who ordered after us got their drink before me. When they called my drink out 21 minutes later (confirmed by the timestamps on my photos...) I wasn't even sure it was mine since they called out oat milk. I told them that I had ordered 2%, but they couldn't find it anywhere. The girl who took my order just told the barista to make me another one. There was no apology or acknowledgement. I went back down to sit with my friend for another 7 minutes before my drink was made. We had also told them that we would take the order to-go in case we didn't have time to eat. We ordered around 10:40 and were hoping to leave around 11-11:10am since we were on the way to drop her off at the airport (7 minutes away). Figured we'd have some time to drink our coffees and maybe have a bite or two of our food before finishing up in the car. I only just got my coffee around 11:09am. When I picked it up, I asked if our food would be ready soon. We were then told that the empanadas my friend ordered are air fried and take more time. I don't know why air frying would take 30 minutes or why this wouldn't be told to us when ordering something to-go. But 2 minutes later, the food was brought out to us. **TLDR: My friend and I talked about it in the car, and we both agreed that the latte and food we ordered were veryyyyyyy good!!! But we were really disappointed by the wait and the service. I'd definitely give them another try though because everything was tasty. If you haven't been there before, I'd give them a shot but would be prepared to wait a bit. read more
