I'm not going to lie. I've had many danishes and this one was by far my favorite. Every bite was so fresh and tasty. It was the soft and with a slight crunchy edge. I also got a cookie butter latte that came with a biscotti cookie. I thought the hot latte was delightful and paired well with the danish. The coffee shop is very tiny so I wouldn't recommend coming with a large party if you're looking for indoor seating. The woman who took my order was also very nice! I would definitely come back if I lived here.

I stopped by with my sister yesterday for some pastries and a drink. We walked on in and there was already a customer being helped and someone else walked in right after us. The cashier was super friendly as she welcomed us in and took our order. We ordered one berry matcha and two croissants - one pistachio and one regular. It was already later in the day - close to their closing time so a lot of pastries were already sold out for the day. Both croissants were DELICIOUS. They were flakey, buttery, and super yummy. They also had a nice little crisp to them. The matcha really wasn't our favorite as it was too bitter and we couldn't taste the flavoring. There were a few tables outside with chairs. I cant wait to be back for some more croissants!

I thank my fellow Yelpers for guiding me here! If you find yourselves around Southern and Priest roads in Tempe and enjoy coffee and fresh pastries it would be worthwhile for you to stop here. This Johnathan Robbin's wholesale bakery opened in 2020 and has been offering unique pastries and coffees since. Be prepared to have your goodies to go or have a casual sit at one of two of their tables outside. They were sold out of their well known kouigan Amman so I went with their strawberry cream croissant for $5.75. It was fresh and soft though I wished there was a bit more of strawberry and cream filling. On the other hand their almond glazed croissant $6.75 had NO filling but did have a fantastic clear glaze topped with slivered almonds that was flakey and just delicious! Their signature latte $5 which is espresso, honey, bourbon syrup and steamed milk that usually is accompanied by whip cream but I skipped it but opted for oat milk 85 cents due to my intolerance to dairy milk. On my inaugural visits to new spots, I usually order signature items and glad I did but I preferred the pumpkin latte more-$5.25! It probably is a good thing that this business isn't around the corner from me or I'd be there many days a week-but if I'm craving fresh baked scones, cookies or croissants I know where to go!

This coffee shop definitely matches its name when it comes to it's food options, they are experiments! The shop had a lot of fun choices I got the Ham and Gruyere Croissant (delicious) and the Fig and Goat Cheese Danish (also delicious). I was extremely happy with my food, the only thing I wish was different was to have more fig on the Danish. I really love figs so that may be an iffy feedback for others. The staff are really friendly and they provide quick services. They also give great recommendations and details about the food. The building is located in an industrial area and may be tricky to find even with Google maps (mine didn't navigate correctly). So just keep that in mind when driving there. There is parking in front of the store, with reserved parking for the store. The parking lot is a little tight. If you have a bigger vehicle I would recommend parking on the street, adds less than a minute to the walk. Overall great experience and I am happy I EXPERIMENTED and tried Experiment Coffee and Pastry. I will be back!

This is a long overdue review, but this place is truly a gem, and part of me is like why don't more people know about it! It's a small brick and mortar, open only during the weekdays, but if you have time to stop, definitely give it a shot. Kouign Amann - seriously one of the best, flakey, caramelized, lots of lamination Banana bread - reminds me of Flour Bakery's (Boston); it has a ton of walnuts, so if you're a walnut in banana bread lover, give there's a shot! Cinnamon roll - beautifully braided, not your typical cinnamon roll but lacking nothing the classic one has!

Scarlett M.

Came here for a coffee pick me up. This is a tiny place and a one woman show! When you enter you are greeted so warmly and have a feast of pastries. I got a vanilla latte and I couldn't say no to a cheese danish. The danish was the best I've ever had. It was incredible. The vanilla latte was perfect as well, not too sweet and well balanced. I will definitely be coming back.

Abigail P.

Really enjoyed this place. My friend and I were greeted immediately as we entered, it's a small little spot in a plaza. A little tricky to find and seems a tad out of place so I hope they do well with the unconventional location. I got an iced pistachio latte that had little bits of poctachio. Very delicious, and my friend just got a hot drip coffee with cream which was very good as well. This spot does best with their pastries, we got the fig, goat cheese, and walnut pastry which was amazing, and also the 'best cookie' which is was the best cookie. The breakfast sandwich was also very delicious I'd come here again to get a box of pastries for an event because everything was delicious and fresh!

Christopher T.

Small place with a great selection of baked goods! The location is interesting - small building in the middle of an array of office parks The coffee menu is pretty standard, but my Americano was very good. Low acid and smooth. The baked goods selection looks delicious. I opted to a cinnamon roll. Was big and so good. Not super sweet either. Service was fast and friendly. Not much ambiance, small joint. N*joy!

Experiment Coffee and Pastry is my favorite place to grab something sweet and a good coffee (when I want some caffeine). Every time I go, it just feels so welcoming and nice. You know, that spot you just instantly love? I highly recommend it! Okay, let's start with the pastries because they are everything. You absolutely have to try the Kouign-amann. It is out of this world! I don't know what kind of magic they use, but it's this perfectly buttery, flaky, caramelized treat. It's my absolute must-get, every time I walk in the door. Their fruit danishes are wonderful too. The pastry is light and crispy, and they always use the freshest fruit on top. Delicious! Of course, I visit for the sweets, but their coffee is good too. I've had one of their seasonal Iced Lattes. It wasn't too strong or too sweet, just right. You can tell they really pay attention to everything they make here. If you're looking for amazing pastries and quality coffee, you should definitely make a stop at Experiment Coffee and Pastry. You're going to love it!

Tammy M.

I totally recommend this place for their yummy croissants! I tried the original croissant and the pistachio croissant and they were both delicious! Service was great!

Nicole M.

Cute little coffee shop with fresh pastries made daily! Standing room only inside -- it's pretty tight quarters, but my husband and I were happy to see a couple tables outside to sit and enjoy our treats at. I would say all stars go to the pastries! Customer service was pleasant as well. The coffee just didn't do it for me. I appreciated that the coffee wasn't bitter, but the flavor didn't stick out and the additional flavor that made my drink a specialty latte missed the mark. I ordered the maple specialty latte and you really couldn't tell that it had any maple flavor. If the coffee flavoring was more prominent, this place would be 5 stars, for sure.

Experiment Coffee & Pastry | Tempe 1. Kouign-Amann ~ laminated dough with salted butter & caramelized sugar 2. Danish ~ laminated pastry with cream cheese 3. Chocolate croissant ~ all-butter laminated dough using real chocolate batons 4. Iced cookie butter latte ~ espresso, cookie butter, milk and a biscoff cookie 5. Iced matcha latte ~ matcha and milk 6. Iced chai tea latte ~ chai tea & milk They serve the most upscale pastries, artisan breads, and coffee in the Valley.

The store is a very cute one within an industrial / work area. I like that it isn't some over the top fancy joint. I ordered a hot cookie butter latte which was very nice and a cookie butter and almond croissant The cookie butter croissant had a delicious whipped cream in the center but the almond one was not nice The wait for the coffee was long. 15 mins. There was only one person ahead of me :_

Ugh. This place is a pain to get to, it's in the back of an industrial park, and it is insanely expensive (six pastries cost me $35), but it is actually really very quite good. Ugh. I really wish it hadn't been so good, because of how insanely expensive it is, like room-service-at-a-Ritz-Carlton-level expensive, but it is good. I would give them five stars, but the location and the prices bring it down. Will definitely go back, but not very often because of how insanely expensive it is. Did I mention how insanely expensive it is, for bread? For bread. Like $6 for one croissant. But good. Very good. But expensive. Very expensive. read more

The last time I left a review for this gem of a spot I only gave it 4 stars because they were out of what I wanted and the main reason for my visit. I've been back several times since then and have not been disappointed, including after this mornings visit. I had a delicious iced caramel macchiato and tried the biscuits and gravy which is only served on Thursdays and Fridays during colder months. I have had B&G from all over the valley and it's hard to find places that serve it as well as Experiment does. The biscuits were a great consistency and the gravy had a nice peppery spice. One thing I've consistently got there though is great service. No matter how busy or slow they are I always get a greeting, a smile and when it's my turn, a "what can I get started for you?" read more

We felt for what you get for your $, the prices were quite fair. The service was outstanding, as well. The young lady behind the counter could tell this was our first time from us studying the menu board up on the wall so hard. She quickly jumped in offering very helpful, information filled suggestions and recommendations. I look forward to coming back to Boards & Brews if we are ever in the area again.

They have alcohol which seems to be sold by a different company-- Anyways chik pop is just amazing. I got the OG Sando spicy which was a perfectly fried chicken thigh in a sandwich-- they add an extra piece of chicken with it so just on portion size this place is a winner. The heat was solid and the chicken was juicy check my pic. Staff was super friendly and the Tempe Eats has someone checking on you as well. The sandwiches come with a purple Italian style dressing ( not sure what is was) that you may find off-putting so if you are sensitive to that stuff get the sauce on the side. I didn't mind it all.

We came here for my brother's birthday and our server did a great job making him feel special. They offered him a birthday shot, but since he doesn't drink, they brought us churros for the table instead which was sweet of them. One thing to note* I wasn't expecting it to be as spicy as it was. Our server did give me a heads up but I personally loved the heat. If you're not into spicy food though, it might be a bit much.

Wow, it did not disappoint--this place is legit delicious! I went with the Swiss & Shroom MeltBurger (mushroom burger) and customized it by swapping the Swiss for pepper jack cheese, adding ranch, and drizzling on that spicy buffalo sauce. Holy cow, it was a home run! The burger literally melted in my mouth, super juicy and packed with flavor--one of the juiciest burgers I've ever had. The angus-wagyu blend shines through, and the toppings took it to another level. The ordering process was super simple and modern--I loved the big touchscreen kiosks that made customizing easy and quick. No hassle at all. They have some unique soda flavors I've never tried before, which was a fun surprise and paired perfectly with the meal. Bonus points: the bathrooms were spotless and well-maintained, which always matters to me. This jumps straight to my #2 burger spot overall (Shake Shack is still king in my book, but The Melt is giving it a serious run for its money with that melty, juicy goodness). I'll definitely be back soon--highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Tempe. You won't regret it! 5 stars all the way.

I highly recommend trying both, especially if you've never had a Chicago beef. The juicy beef paired with giardiniera is super savory. Damn! I'm craving it again. For lunch on our second visit, we ordered the Chief Beef special and a margherita pizza. This was, by far, the BEST margherita pizza ever! I think I've said that in another review... but for reals this time! The pizza was perfectly crispy on the bottom with just the right amount of basil to top off each bite. For dinner on our third visit, we ordered the clam linguine and an Italian beef sandwich. My husband says this clam linguine was better than the other versions he's eaten at Little Italy. The Italian sandwich was good, but not as savory as the Chicago beef. Can't wait to eat here, again, the next time we visit the Padres during spring training.

Not the top of my AZ craft beer list but a place I enjoy and keep coming back to.

Experiment Coffee & Pastry: A Culinary Delight! As a devoted husband, I embarked on a mission to satisfy my wife's craving. And where better to indulge her taste buds than at Experiment Coffee and Pastry? It was my first visit to this charming spot, and let me tell you, it left us utterly impressed. Kouign Amann: Oh, the Kouign Amann! It's like a sweet, buttery whisper from the heavens. Each flaky layer cradles a caramelized sugary goodness that dances on your tongue. I'm convinced it's a slice of paradise baked into existence. Croissant: Friends, brace yourselves. The croissant here is not just a pastry; it's a revelation. Imagine a golden crescent of buttery perfection--crisp on the outside, tender on the inside. It's the kind of croissant that makes you question all other croissants you've ever had. Chocolate Croissant: If the regular croissant is a symphony, the chocolate croissant is a full-blown opera. Rich, velvety chocolate tucked within those same flaky layers--it's decadence in every bite. I may or may not have shed a tear of joy. Experiment Coffee and Pastry isn't just a bakery; it's an ode to flavor, craftsmanship, and pure delight. Their commitment to quality ingredients and impeccable service shines through. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or a curious explorer, this place is a must-visit. So go ahead, treat yourself. Life is too short to miss out on Kouign Amann and croissant-induced euphoria. read more

It's incredibly disappointing that there's no option to add a card or note when sending a thank-you gift, leaving the recipient unaware of who sent it. You can order and pay, but the delivery arrives without any accompanying message, and I'm left wondering if I should email the business myself to give them a heads‑up. With today's technology, this basic feature seems like a missed necessity. CEOs and teams should consider the full customer experience--this gap easily pushes customers to choose bakeries with stronger online ordering and gifting options. read more
