    Spring 24 menu

    First Place Coffee has been on my radar for a while now and so happy I got to stop by! This is a food truck coffee spot so do not expect a sit down option. The employees were all energetic and helpful! I went with an iced Neapolitan and it was so flavorful!! No bitterness not watered down, simply perfect. They have some bites to grab as well from the Dinersaur. I grabbed a churrover and a banana bread in the shape of a dinosaur. So cute! I'll definitely stop by again soon!!

    My all time favorite coffee truck. They have such unique flavor combinations and tons of options. The honeycomb is a must. The pb flavor they had this past weekend was absolutely divine. I love their pastry and "scoop" treats as well. The earlier you come the better because there is less of a line but they are truly worth the wait if you do find yourself in a line. The workers are so welcoming and passionate about the business -it truly shows in what they do. The is a central Phoenix must try!!

    Second time this week

    I'm obsessed with this little coffee truck. My friend recommended awhile back and I finally got around to trying to 2 weeks ago. They're open 4 days per week, Friday-Monday for like 4 hours each day... and I've happen to squeeze it in 4 times. I love that the coffee is flavored without being overly sweet and just blends really well. They were great at giving recommendations and love all the locations are near my house :) the pumpkin butternut squash is delicious, as is the caramel latte, baklava... and just a plain latte. I love the bakery dinersaur as well. Also AMAZING desserts that have great flavor without being loaded with sugar, but the perfect amount for a dessert. I love this place so much, I could honestly come here everyday (if they were open) and not get tired of it.

    Their location on weekends at the Womack

    One of my very favorite coffee spots in the valley! They are so unbelievably friendly and welcoming. Their drinks are delicious and so inventive. It's a small truck but they always provide seating and good vibes. Their seasonal ones are a must try, but their classics are phenomenal too. Our go-tos are often the Honeycomb or LEO. Their Spring special Orange Blossom is amazing. Their pastries are also to die for! Their scones are where it's at, and if you see them selling the Raspberry Fontina or Chili Cheddar, you must snag it while you can! Super dog friendly! I can't wait for them to open their brick and mortar location downtown!

    I love the concept of a coffee truck. Who doesn't love coffee to go? I tried their drip. Fundamentally, I found the coffee fair. It didn't have a unique flavour or after taste rushing me back for my next sip. Glad I tried as it is loved by so many in phx.

    So so good! I've been wanting to try their truck for ages, but I kept missing them since they're only in the uptown area on Saturdays and Sundays. They're in the Colony Uptown plaza parked right out front. Cute little trailer. I got the Honeycomb Latte that has local honey, vanilla bean, and cinnamon. Super tasty and not too sweet which is what I love. My mom got the Leo which comes with lavender, espresso, and oat milk and loved it as well. We both got the Chile Cheddar Scone and it was honestly to die for. So buttery and flaky. Super friendly staff. I'll be back!

    I've been driving by and seeing it always busy so I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. Delicious coffee and very friendly and helpful staff.

    Love this little coffee shop on wheels. The drinks and pastries are all amazing and the staff are awesome with beautiful smiles. When I go there I feel like family and I love that I see the same customers no matter where they are parked!!!!!

    Amazing coffee and amazing people. I visited First Place Coffee in front of The Churchill, where they usually are parked on Monday mornings (you can check their Instagram page for their weekly weekend schedule + locations). They have interesting specialty drinks that rotate seasonally and in general a well-rounded menu with a variety of options. They also feature pastries from theDinersaur. I got an iced neapolitan with oat milk, and it was super tasty! The oat milk was creamy, and I could taste the notes of strawberry + vanilla without them overpowering the coffee. The drink was just the right amount of sweetness, something that I really appreciate as it tends to be a pitfall for specialty drinks at other coffee shops. The baristas were all super friendly + helpful, and I appreciated that they knew the ingredients to the pastries as I have a nut allergy. I'm excited to try more of their drinks! Support your local coffee shops (especially womxn-owned)!!

    Was SO excited to try this place today. I follow them on Instagram and everything they sell sounded amazing. I got there about 9:30 and the line was long but moved a little quicker than I thought. A ton of people brought their cute dogs! The people working in the truck were super nice and also efficient! I got the desert matcha which has chai in it and some other stuff, two of my fave things in one! I got it with oat milk. I ordered my husband a caramel latte with extra caramel and espresso and he enjoyed it! The truck is super cute. Would totally come here again!

    Very cute lil coffee truck run by lovely females. I have stopped by a couple of times before work and they are very friendly and service is quick. I tried the sage salted caramel which is part of their winter menu and el Diablo which is a signature drink. Both were great. I rarely drink coffee myself but both drinks were delicious. El Diablo has Chocolate, Chile de Arbol, Vanilla Bean, & Cinnamon which makes you feel like you're getting dessert, yet it's not overly sweet. Their pastries look delicious but I haven't tried them yet. I highly recommend given them a try if you're in the Phoenix area. I will for sure keep coming back.

    First place coffee hands down best coffee in PHX! The quality is always dialed and the rotating menu to follow the season is always on point. The truck always brings together great people. The dulces on the truck are always so good and them "cakes" too. Don't sleep on the hazelnut date drink for winter menu. Thanks first place D

    Menu: Fall lattes, 2020
    Susan L.

    On 11/4/20: Fun, super friendly and COVID-safe coffee truck! So glad a friend recommended them to me! Tried 3 of their lattes: Honeycomb (can actually taste the honey flavor!), Smashing Pumpkin (nice nod to eponymous 90's Alt Rock Rock band), and Wild Cardamom. Cardamom has been the latest trend I've noticed, in local coffee shops. The flavor stands up well to strong coffee and lends a nice warm spice note. They sell Le Dinersaur pastries, and this morning, we tried the banana chocolate chip dinosaur bread. Adorable in brachiosaurus and T-Rex shapes! Most importantly, DELICIOUS. First Place Coffee is observing COVID precautions: socially distanced line to order and wait, no-contact payment options (no cash, currently, but they take CC AND Venmo). Super pleasant and helpful staff! Currently, the truck is operating 3 days a week: Fridays at 22nd St/Indian School and Sat/Sun at Phoenix General/Framed Ewe at 7th St, north of Missouri. Go check them out!

Paris was good, but the experience did not warrant any return visit. They had a huge variety of options (sweets, meals, snacks, etc) in a few places near the ordering counter. The setup reminded me a school cafeteria. You pick up a tray, use the tongs to select your choices, walk up to counter, see more items peruse, then pay at the counter. The store was well decorated, very bright & colorful -- and the seating was quite comfortable (the whicker seats anyway). We ordered a wide array of savory & sweets. The salad needed more dressing, a few of the savory pastries were a bit chewy (had they been out awhile, maybe?), and most of the sweets were decent. The polite gal behind the counter offered to warm up the savory pastries but we declined -- I believe the heat would have made them more chewy. It was a bummer we didn't enjoy the food more.

The menu is straightforward, all the expected coffee choices, and a more extensive food selection than I'd anticipated. I chose to combine the avocado toast and substitute the toast for an everything bagel. They asked if I'd like chili flakes on that and... of course! The cappuccino was excellent, with dense, stiff foam, deep flavor, and perfectly portioned. The avocado bagel was phenomenal, with good, chunky avocado, spread thick on a buttered and toasted bagel. Plenty enough to spread along both sides and have a bit left over. The flow of customers was steady and they worked through all of the orders quickly and efficiently... really could not ask for a better quick coffee breakfast experience.

I've been frequenting this architectural marvel for over 10 years. While so many new shops try to mimic this vibe, none of them are Lux. Lux is King! The 11-Year Flashback: I looked back at my review from 11 years ago when I docked them a star for the "nightmare parking." Back then, I was a "to-go" only person who never envisioned myself as a laptop-hipster hanging out. Well, times change! I'm bumping them up to 5 stars now. Maybe it's the new competition nearby or my better timing, but the parking is a breeze, and I've officially embraced the "comfy chair" lifestyle. The "Cheers" Factor: What really sets this place apart is the people. After a decade of visits, it truly feels like Cheers--where everybody knows my name! Getting to know the folks behind the counter makes every visit feel like coming home. The Sip of the Night: I shifted from my usual plain Cappuccino as my target drink to include in a review to feature their Espresso Martini. I went with a Reposado base instead of the typical vodka, and it was stellar. With two full bars in addition to the coffee and pastry bar, craft drinks truly abound here! (Note: they have an amazing cappuccino too) The Comfort Classics: You cannot leave without the food. My go-to favorites? The Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese and the legendary Chocolate Chip or Red Velvet cookies. Return Factor: 100% I've been coming here for a decade, and it's still the gold standard. As I said in my review 11 years ago: "I see a book, comfy chair and cocktail in my future! Stumble home... Repeat." Still true today! #PHXCoffeeShopTour #1CupAtATime #LuxCentral #PhoenixOriginal #EspressoMartini #FlashbackReview
