Futuro currently takes the cake for my favorite coffee shop in Phoenix currently. I've tried their matcha two ways: 1. as an iced latte, unsweetened. The first time I ordered it unsweetened was accidental, but trying it without sweetener or flavor was what made me realize that their matcha may be the best I've ever had. I've also had their Mas matcha latte and it is also absolutely delicious and simple and still allows me to taste the matcha through the vanilla and sweetness. I've been to other places that serve Kettl matcha, but none have tasted nearly as rich as Futuro's. The atmosphere itself is true to its name. It is futuristic, simple, and beautiful. It is full of unique art pieces of all types, and they sell their coffees and teas as well. I feel at peace inside and they always have vibey music playing at a perfect volume and incense lit. The service itself is one of a kind and makes me feel like I'm at a 5-star restaurant. They bring your items out on a beautiful tray and will always serve your drink with a cup of water on the side if you order it for here. They will even package your food up for you, which I would never expect from a coffee shop. It can be busy at times with a bit of a wait because the drinks are all made one at a time, but it's always worth the wait. The place isn't very big but has plenty of seating given the space. For working from home, they do have wifi but limited outlets. Their pastries served from a local bakery are also delicious. read more

The coffee, the pastries, the vibes -- everything about Futuro has gotten me thoroughly obsessed. The intentionality of every item on their menu shines, and I find myself visiting more and more. I'm currently hooked on the Cafe de Olla, a gorgeous blend of sugar and spice that's topped with a star anise pod that enhances the aroma with every sip. But virtually every menu item -- honorable mention to the Cajeta -- is balanced and well crafted. The baristas are all very knowledgeable about their teas, as well. I've recently been SO hooked by their semi-new weekend pastry artist, Ghita, who crafts such unique desserts. Most recently, I tried their absolutely FIRE black sesame craquelin with a mildly sweet tahini cream. The rhubarb cream pastry was also gorgeous and creative. Futuro as a space is intentionally designed as well, with plenty of seating on both sides, boutique goods for sale, and great reads. It's the perfect place to read a book and chill on weekends. And the staff, even when busy, seem to always perfectly serve each order and efficiently clear out plates. Officially my favorite coffee shop 1000% now. read more

Regrettably, I cannot stand behind Futuro's drinks. By now, I've tried the cajeta (goat milk caramel and maldon sea salt), cafe de olla (piloncillo, cinnamon, anise, citrus), and ahuacate (avocado, lime, maldon sea salt), but I didn't love any of them. While the ingredients compositions are intriguing, I didn't actually like any drink that much. The cajeta was neither sweet or savory enough, and the cafe de olla was weak and not sweet. The ahuacate wasn't my favorite either, but it was indeed a refreshing drink with the lime cutting through the sweetness. However, the sea salt pistachio black sesame cookie sourced from a friend of the business Augustina Fekete's weekend menu, which is reportedly gluten free on weekends (but not widely advertised, if this is your dietary restriction make sure to still ask!) read more

Absolutely a visually beautiful, modern, artistic place with Mexican inspired drinks and currently serving baked goods from Ghita (Romanian culture based with a love of French pastry and named in honor of the baker's father.) This review is based on our most recent trips but we have been going for at least 7-8 years and fell in love right away. This is a well over due review! The minute you step in you can feel the artistic vibes. They are always featuring artwork and usually of someone local or Mexican inspired art. The service is always excellent. The baristas are very knowledgeable. They always have great coffees from a variety of single origin areas. A lot of their cold brews come from Sey coffee. I'm a super big fan of their cold brews. We have also dabbled in their lattes which are delicious as well. One of my all time favorites the matcha con agua de coco. Not only is it tasty but beautifully presented. I definitely recommend anything on their drink list, from the matcha, to the coffee, to the teas. All great and carefully crafted! It's definitely a top coffee spot for us and we are always recommending it visitors and locals who have never tried it. The newest baked goods from Ghita are hitting soooo good. We have had the Romanian cake and most recently the chocolate beet cake and roasted kabocha squash cake which are amazing! I look forward to more treats from her! Overall an amazing experience! You won't regret it! You'll keep going back for more. If you are in the downtown area come check them out. Such a lovely place ! We will keep being regulars . read more

One of the best matchas that I've had in Arizona! I got the Mas matcha latte (without the pocky) and my friend got a hojicha latte and we both loved our drinks. Although there was quite a wait for our drinks, it was worth it! The staff were super friendly and pleasant, the interior was cool, and the drinks were great. We would definitely come back! read more

FUTURO - Hojicha and Mas Matcha (no pocky) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I drive by the place daily as I live down the road and always see people here. It's very trendy vibes. I walked in and said it was my first time she recommended a lot of things and I went with what she said was most popular the "MAR" which is an americano with vanilla bean crème. Came out to $7. I think the crème was really good and the espresso was kinda tangy for my liking. Overall nice place. read more

FUTURO is a modern and minimalistic coffee shop doubling as an art gallery/creative space. This spot is located in the Phoenix area where street parking will be your best bet. Inside, they have a sleek minimalistic interior with some cool art up on display. They have about 4-5 tables for seating inside with a couple tables outside the shop as well. For their menu, they have thoughtfully crafted coffee, matcha, and tea drinks. I got the MAS (matcha con crema de vanilla) and it had a unique flavor profile with a good amount of roast. Overall, I am glad I got the chance to check them out. They are definitely one of the more unique and art-forward coffee shops I have been to. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Stop by to enjoy some art and drinks! read more

I had been hearing a lot of mixed things about Futuro, so I decided to finally stop by and check it out for myself. I came with my cousin and a friend and both of them had a similar experience as me. The shop itself is super minimal. All white, very design-forward. Personally, I didn't find it cozy or welcoming. It's not the kind of place I'd want to sit in and hang out for a while. Now the drinks: they were good. The menu is Mexican-inspired with unique house-made flavors, which I definitely appreciated. You can tell they put effort into what they're serving. But while the drinks were good, the overall experience just didn't feel warm or inviting. Worth trying if you're curious or into clean, modern aesthetics. But if you're someone who looks for warmth and comfort in your coffee shop experience, this may not be it. It's also good if you want to grab and go! read more

Ordered: Mas (~$9): matcha with vanilla crema Cajeta (~$7): goat milk caramel and maldon sea salt Aya's take: FUTURO makes the list for top 10 cafes & coffee shops I've ever been to! It has that indoor-outdoor feel by somehow connecting the interior and architecture with the outside surroundings. They're also playing very calming music and have art throughout. It's very minimalistic and almost doubles as an art gallery. I tried 2 drinks, the Cajeta and Mas. Both were exceptional. Made with some of the best espresso (SEY Coffee) and matcha (Kettl), respectively - I knew I was in for a treat. Being from NYC and having tried both original locations of SEY & Kettl, FUTURO has taken exceptional ingredients and transformed them into lattes that are extraordinary. The flavors were distinctive, balanced, and earthy. I'm jealous of the people in Arizona who have access to this spot! This is an absolute must try. read more

First and last time homeless man outside harassing people. Very slow service although very polite. My coffee had a sour after taste. Threw it away and went down the street for a latte. read more

Can't start my morning without a coffee and heard good things about Futuro so we checked it out! The cafe is very simplistic, modern, and creative with the art pieces around. I thought that was super neat to have mixed an art gallery with a coffee shop. I ordered the Cafe de Olla and that was definitely one of the best lattes I've had in a while! It was made perfectly; the flavors, good quality espresso, etc. My partner ordered the matcha and wished it was a bit sweeter, but overall still a great quality matcha. If you're in the area you should definitely check them out! The service was excellent and they answered all the questions I had about the menu. read more

Creative menu and excellent espresso. The baristas were friendly and took their time to make each drink. The interior was very clean (literally and aesthetically) so it's a nice spot to hang out. I ordered an iced moca (stoneground cacao) and throughly enjoyed it. The cacao had a nice bitterness to it and I appreciated the smaller cup, making the drink more espresso forward. If you plan on heading to FUTURO for the first time, there is (metered?) street parking on Garfield and the entrance door is on the left side. read more

Food was was very nice, but I nor ANYONE I've recommended this place to will EVER return due to staff and the disrespect that my partner experienced when asking for a to-go cup. Whether it is an "experience" purchase or not, My partner should not have been embarrassed by the barista behind the counter and scolded with such condescending nature from asking for a cup to finish her drink at her work. After one barista confirmed that my partner could indeed take the cup to go later if said "experience" was to be cut short (before making said purchase), the secondary barista using a tone that pierced an already packed coffee shop and could clearly hear over general noise and atmospheric music. Stating that my wife was trying to "bypass" said experience of enjoying said purchase at table. In no way does anyone deserve to be scolded over such a small task. Can clearly see the lack of community and respect for others time. Will continue to share experience and recommend others to a shop with respectful intentions of their customers. read more

Omg love!! I was visiting phoenix for a conference and so incredibly fortunate to find this gem of a cafe on the first day. I ended up going 3 of 6 days we were in Arizona, and we were in Sedona for some of that time. The cafe is a whole experience. The space is beautifully curated with local art on the walls and furniture that's really aesthetic. The drinks and come in lovely clay dishware and even the to go drinks are served on a wooden platter. And the food and drinks are incredible! The espresso is served with a palate cleanser (as it should be) and a card with notes about your drinking. The champurrado is not overly sweet it can often be. The tamales are made with heirloom blue corn. The moca is made with stoneground cacao which just elevates it above any other moca I've had. The pride they take in their business is so evident and it really shines through in the product. read more

Delicious drinks & food 5/5. High quality ingredients. The flavored drinks are not syrupy or overly sweetened. Easily my favorite coffee shop in Phoenix. My favorite drink is the moca (im shocked to say). The art exhibits are great and always have a strong pov. If youre trying to work there: there are limited outlets and the seats are not comfortable. read more

Minimalist white decor, clean lines, artsy vibes and unique menu. There was no one at the counter when we walked in, and we had to wait a bit for someone to show up - no apologies given. The beautiful layout / presentation for the drinks and the fact that they are brought to you made up for it. Parking is street parking downtown. No issues getting a spot on a weekday afternoon, but may be more of an issue on weekends. The artwork inside is constantly rotating, which I like. read more

If you like traditional matcha this is the place for you! Inside is a great place to get work done and have a nice coffee/matcha. Strong matcha flavor and I would even suggest adding in maybe a syrup to it. The drink wasn't rushed out but made really well and the workers were very kind and chatting to many customers! Felt like a neighborhood coffee bar, so many locals in! read more

Stopped by Futuro for a quick pick-me-up and tried the Verde press juice--so refreshing! Super crisp, not too sweet, and you can really taste the fresh ingredients.

Coffee wasn't hot at all when it was served and had a bitter taste. For the price--with all things considered--I wouldn't return.

That was the most strange social experiment I've ever been apart of. Pros- It smelled amazing in the shop, wow. The music was 10/10. The coffee was fantastic. The architecture is very reminiscent of a modernist CA shop. Con- Took me 20 minutes, at the register to order my drink. When there were only 2 drinks in front of mine. V. Strange. read more

Tasty specialty coffee drinks served in an art gallery-like cafe. Futuro is located next to The Churchill, and it's tucked inside the white Palabra building. There's plenty of street parking available, and indoor and outdoor seating is available. There are interesting art installations + art pieces inside, and the whole aesthetic is minimalist. The menu features interesting drinks, and I personally got the iced cafe de olla, which has piloneillo, cinnamon, anise, and citrus with espresso. The barista was friendly and walked me through the different pastries for the day, which was nice. I really, really loved my drink. The spices were wonderfully balanced with the citrus, and the coffee flavor still came out strong. I also got the chocolate cake, which was dense and tasty. With its convenient location and tasty selection of drinks, I would definitely come back in the future. read more
