    I am trying local coffee shops with my friends and I will submit. I'm having a great time doing so and Fair Trade Cafe did not disappoint! First of all aesthetically it is so cute and here I came on a Sunday and they had a DJ who played the best mix of music and created such a vibe! And sometimes when they have the DJs in the restaurant, it's too loud and overpowering the DJ here did a good job of providing music that you can vibe to, but not wear it so loud that she couldn't carry on conversations and still enjoy yourself. My friend had ordered us a coffee flight and a Matcha flight and to be honest the market plate was my favorite. I like both coffee and Matcha, but their flavors really stand out the strawberry Matcha and the banana cream. Matcha were my favorite favorites. The banana cream had such a delicious flavor and undertones to it, along with the fact that it had cold foam on top. I enjoyed it so much that I actually got a full-size cut to go. I also had a chocolate croissant which was delicious and my friend had a blueberry muffin. I tasted as it was also delicious. They were heated so they took a minute or so to come out because it was a busy day, but I do like that they do bring your treats out to you and I think the team here was super friendly and engaging and I really can't wait to return.

    A very cute coffee shop with plenty of tables to work, study, and hang out. I had the chance to try the coffee and it was some of the most unique coffee I had ever tried. Their specialty coffees are delicious and definitely worth trying on your first visit. They made my coffee pretty quickly and I was able to sit and enjoy it. Because this coffee shop is in the downtown area, there is not parking lot. There is paid parking right across the street.

    Much better experience than our first visit! They had a DJ and the vibe was great. Plenty of outdoor seating and a good amount inside too. I loved the Amor Latte. The matcha, though, still isn't our favorite. We have tried the 3 matcha flight and the strawberry matcha, but it tasted more like sweet strawberry milk than matcha. Very sweet and heavy on the strawberries. They don't offer gluten-free pastries, but they do have gluten free bread for sandwiches. Service not has not been that great, it often feels like we are interrupting the staff to order. We will probably give it another try and hope it keeps improving each time because it's such a great location and coffee shop!

    Double Matcha, Coconut Cream Matcha

    I saw this cafe a lot over social media and TikTok, so I definitely had to stop by and try. It's located right next to a free parking garage, so parking is super convenient. Right when you walk in, you can tell this is such a cute and aesthetic cafe. We got the matcha flight, which comes with a strawberry cream, coconut cream, and banana cream matcha. The drinks are about half the size of the normal size, but this was a nice option to try their different flavors. Unfortunately, I think their matchas are a bit too sweet, with their banana cream being way too sweet for me. I was a fan of the coconut cream matcha, however. I wish it was a little less sweet, but still yummy nonetheless!

    This tucked away café is a gem. I had to stop in after meeting a client in the area and I could see the line and hear the music. That's what dreamy in. Not to mention I hadn't been there before. It's a whole vibe. Very busy on the weekends flowing with coffee, laughter, and amazing aroma's coming from the kitchen. The DJ was playing the hits and plenty of space to dive into some work study if needed. It was well worth the wait. Great customer service. I'll definitely be making a trip back for that amazing looking match flight.

    Secret Menu Item: Cortado

    Stopped in for a cortado and even though it wasn't listed, the baristas didn't hesitate. They knew exactly how to make it and handed over a perfectly balanced cup with deep espresso flavor and just the right touch of milk. Smooth, strong, and finished before I wanted it to be. We grabbed seats outside and the weather made the whole experience even better. Easy atmosphere, good energy, and plenty of space to relax without feeling rushed. It's an ideal pick for a first meet up, a low key coffee date, or a spot to open the laptop and get things done. On top of that, the pricing is solid for the quality. Downtown Phoenix coffee done right.

    Matcha flight

    I used to come here all the time before I got my own coffee machine. It gets very busy and crowded on weekends, so try to avoid peak days if you're looking for a quiet coffee break. The location is great, close to downtown Phoenix and many other activities. And get this: there's free parking! Honestly, the coffee itself was pretty average. However, I found myself obsessed with their matcha flight! It comes with three flavored matcha - coconut, banana, and strawberry. If you sit at the bar, you can even watch the barista prepare them, which makes the experience more fun.

    Double Matcha & Coconut Cream Matcha
    Joseph L.

    Heard about their matcha flight through TikTok. The matcha flight comes with the strawberry cream, coconut cream and banana cream. All three use ceremonial matcha according to the menu. The coconut matcha was the best out of the three, as the other two were too sweet for my liking. The size of the flight were smaller than expected so we also ordered a regular sized double matcha and another coconut cream. The double matcha was also topped with whipped cream. Sweetness was on point, but it didn't taste like high quality ceremonial matcha. Aside from the matchas, this cafe offers other drinks like coffee and smoothies. They also have a variety of pastries, sandwiches/wraps and breakfast. There are plenty of seating inside and outside the cafe. I'd say this is a great spot if you're starting to get into matcha.

    Great aesthetic and drinks here! I came on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy, there was a line to order. They're currently having a "matcha madness" special so I got the ube matcha. I love these flavors so I was really excited for this drink! It was delicious, but pricey. Parking can be hard to find around here.

    Matcha flight
    Farrah A.

    I chose this spot because of the matcha flight. And is did NOT disappoint! It's a really cute cafe with a lot of feminine charm; they have a working wifi, food/snacks, and drinks beyond coffee. And it's dog-friendly. I went on a very busy morning, so service was lacking. I paid for a sandwich with gluten-free bread, and was later informed (after paying the upcharge for the bread) that they were out of the GF bread and could only make the sandwich as a salad. (No refund on the bread charge, as I forgot). It also took a longer than usual time to get my dining companion's croissant.... 10-15 min passed before she had to follow up; and then it took another 5 min or so after to come out. But it came out warm! Another area of improvement: serve dine-in drinks in normal mugs to cut down on paper cups and single use plastic tops while also keeping your tea/drinks hot. The star of the experience was the matcha flight, which you can only get it cold. Alt milks available. Each variety was a DELIGHT (honestly, Ic could never pick a favorite; all so good) and would order that again--perhaps to share because it was a lot of caffeine.

    Fair Trade Cafe is a super cute and aesthetic spot -- definitely the kind of place you want to sit in and chill for a bit. They have a solid menu with tons of drink options, and if you're a matcha lover, this is the spot to visit if you're in AZ! So many good matcha choices and honestly they delivered! The barista was also very friendly and knowledgeable about all the drink options they had. That said, the long wait time pretty much overshadowed the experience. The line itself wasn't long at all, but the drinks took about 30 minutes to come out?? Definitely not a grab-and-go situation. Our friend received her drink within 5 minutes of ordering and the rest of our group ended up getting ours half an hour later -- which was kinda crazy considering we all ordered around the same time. Once we finally got our drinks though, they were hits! Some were for sure on the sweeter side, but still enjoyable and well made regardless. I ordered the Banana Cream Matcha with oat milk and it did not disappoint. It's definitely one of the sweeter matcha options on the menu, so if you're into that, you'll love it. If not, I'd probably go for something less sweet. Overall, I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area. Just know it very well might not be a quick stop LOL -- but worth a try it if you're down to hang out, kill time, and enjoy the chill vibes.

    I have seen this place all over social media and seen that their matcha looked really good. My sister and I stopped by on Friday afternoon and there was a small line to order. We waited about 10 minutes until it was our turn to order. The cashier who helped us order seemed friendly and spoke softly. I ordered one of their seasonal pumpkin drinks as a matcha and asked for a small. My sister ordered before me so she had found us a table as I was done ordering. We sat down and many people ordered after us. By this time, there was three employees out and two were making drinks. Drinks were being made not in the order they were ordered which did not make sense. Two girls who ordered after me got their matcha's way before I did. My sister waited 32 minutes for her matcha drink to be ready which is craazy..... A lady that had ordered before my sister and I seemed to be getting frustrated with the wait and we saw her go up and ask. The employee was superrrr rude to her and rudely told her that her drink was next. As we were walking out, we heard a man go up to the register and ask if he could cancel his order and get a refund as it was taking too long. My pumpkin matcha was watered down and not good. It was definitely not worth the wait, time, or money.

She made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down and checked on us just the right amount. We ordered two BEC sandwiches, which sadly are no longer on the menu, but wow, they were delicious! The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Instead of the greens, we opted for the Million Dollar Potatoes and they were super yum! Such a tasty choice and the perfect addition to the meal. Great service, delicious food, and a lovely breakfast experience. Thank you, Arely, for taking such good care of us. We will definitely be back!

    Decided to go to First Watch since I was familiar with the franchise after going to one in Houston…read more This location is within a rather small parking lot which seems to be dedicated to First Watch, we were able to find a spot near the back of the lot but it was quite crowded when we arrived around 11am. The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.

The staff was friendly throughout our stay, and the overall property has a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy the sunshine and scenery. We booked an upgraded suite with a separate bedroom and TV room, which gave us plenty of space to spread out. While the layout was great, the room itself could use some updates. The bathroom fixtures were older--the Kohler toilet didn't flush well and was a bit noisy, and the tub/shower combo had rounded sides that made it tricky to stand comfortably. The shower water also never got fully hot. The room had a slightly musty smell, and the carpets would benefit from a deep cleaning. The balcony screen door didn't close tightly, which let a few flies in, and access to the second floor required two sets of stairs since there's no elevator in that section. Even with those issues, the resort's location, views, and overall vibe made the stay enjoyable. With some room refreshes and a bit more maintenance attention, this could easily be a standout property. The setting alone is worth experiencing.

    I was looking for a good staycation while also earning American Airlines AAdvantage miles and…read moreloyalty points to maintain my status for another year. I found a great AAdvantage Hotel deal at the Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort and booked it. While it was a great success of a visit in terms of AAdvantage miles and loyalty points, my actual experience at the hotel itself was less to be desired due to the customer service and a big snafu on their part. I also have Hilton Gold status, though as I booked the hotel through a third party site (AAdvantage Hotels), I could see the stay and the stay history in my Hilton app, but I did not receive any benefits for staying there, which was fine as I didn't expect any anyone. I arrived in person to check in and already reserved and prepaid for a King 1 Bedroom Standard Suite, which had a nice view and reasonably spacious room (but not too much larger than a regular room at another hotel). The room was certainly not upgraded though there was parking available right in front of the entrance. I did not receive anything else at check-in nor did it appear that I'd get my regularly complimentary water. I did pay the daily resort charge which includes high speed internet access, access to the Falls Water Village, an hour at the tennis/pickleball court, an hour at the afternoon golf practice facility, two hours for a mountain bike rental, 20% off seasonal spa services, and 15% off select golf apparel. While I didn't use it, I had easy view and access to the Falls Water Village where you could lounge and play all day on their sun-marked terrace where you could find free-form pools, hot tubs, and cabanas. They even have a 138-foot enclosed water slide. When I checked out, I was told that a bill would be sent to me shortly since I did it on the app early, and when I received the bill, there was a charge for my room at the restaurant at the top of the hill called A Different Point of View. The catch is that I never went to eat there during my stay (or at any onsite restaurant since I live in the area and had my meals offsite). I reached out to the hotel who insisted that I did go there to eat. I promised them I didn't eat anywhere onsite and that they need to look at the receipt and see if it actually has my room number. They confirmed it did and that this meant I ate there. I told them to find my name on it and let me know if it was on there. After several more back and forth conversations, they confirmed it wasn't me and would remove the charge. They then mistakenly charged me double. Then they removed one charge, but it took more than a week before they removed the other charge. By the end of the exchanges, it felt like they were blaming me for their own mistake. While the resort is aged and rather pleasant, there certainly are training issues regarding the customer service offered at this property. I do not plan on staying here again in the future.
