They host events regularly and collaborate with local organizations and nonprofits. As for the coffee, I've never had a bad one! Lots of flavor options and lots of sugar free flavors as well. They also have matcha which is pretty good! There's a seasonal specialty menu as well as pastries and food items so there is a bit of everything here. Bonus points for free WiFi and lots of seating including couches with board games for families and kids to play with. My only complaint is that I wish this place was open in the evenings! I would make this my after work spot forsure. Overall, 10/10!

Oh boy, I'm glad I happened to pass through this area because this place was a gem!…read more I ordered the Meat Lover's Omelet, and believe it or not, I'm really not an omelet person. I kept it simple--no onions, tomatoes, or all the extra stuff. Just eggs wrapped around bacon, sausage, and ham. Man, this thing was GOOD. The meat had a little sweetness to it that worked perfectly with the eggs, and the potatoes were absolutely amazing. Everything just hit the spot. I sat at the bar and had a chance to ask my server a few questions about the place. She was super friendly, helpful, and made the experience even better. Definitely glad I found this spot. Great breakfast, great service, and one of those places you're already thinking about coming back to before you even leave. Also the got creative with the picture and art work super cool and clean spot . I'll definitely be back!

I was originally going to give full stars, but after the meal and was appalled at the management…read moreand support. We arrived at 7:50am, hoping for a quick breakfast before a doctors appointment at 9:10am around the corner. It took the waitress forever to come to our table because she was the only one up front. Totally reasonable. By 8:20am there was over 18 guests and still just her trying to seat people, give them beverages, make espresso, input orders, and basically manage everything. Again. Totally reasonable why things were taking longer. She was hauling a** and working hard. So imagine my utter dismay when I saw a man, probably the manager or owner just standing there like a jacka** not helping her but making polite greetings and conversation to the people at the bar. Utterly unacceptable to watch your employee or someone struggle with that many tasks and not do a darn thing about it. Looking so proud and like everything is just dandy as you lean against the doorframe doing absolutely nothing. Our waitress gets a five star rating but this one star reflects the behavior of whoever that owner/manager is letting staff drown around him. Shame on you.

While in the past I have had good experiences dining in, my recent visit wasn't very great. I went…read morethrough the drive thru where there was no line so I got to order right away. When I pulled up, there was only one car in front waiting for their coffee. After I pulled in, I waited 10 mins for 2 bagels, only to find out that they don't even add the cream cheese. I thought it was a bit much to wait 10 mins to heat up an order of 2 bagels with no coffee order or anything. Definitely will not be stopping by for breakfast.

Let me preface this review by saying that I am reviewing the experience as much, if not more, than…read morethe food and drinks. My wife and I absolutely love New Penny. We actually followed the owners here after frequenting their previous coffee shop, En Route. When they opened New Penny, supporting them was an easy decision. The café is thoughtfully divided into two distinct spaces: a family-friendly dining area and a lounge-style bar area geared more toward adults. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and inviting. There are house-made dishes, local merchandise, a shaded patio, and plenty of charm throughout. My wife's favorites are the Breakfast Totchos and the Acai Bowl. Personally, I am also a loyal Breakfast Totchos fan. As for drinks, the Copper Coin and the legendary Cowboy Latte are both worth ordering. What truly sets New Penny apart, however, is the people. The owners and staff have created a space that feels inclusive, welcoming, and genuinely connected to the community. Support local businesses. Better yet, support local businesses that are doing things the right way. Get to know the owners. Get to know the staff. Places like New Penny don't just serve food and coffee--they create gathering places. Whether you're meeting a friend, taking a business meeting, enjoying a date, or simply looking for a quiet place to sit by yourself, New Penny delivers. One of my favorite local businesses, and one that my family will continue to support.

Honestly, there are…read morecoffee places that pack a bit more happiness than others, and this is definitely one of them. They're a whole mission, starting with the coffee they serve - from an organization in Honduras that employs single moms to harvest the beans, and provides a safe home for children who are experiencing neglect and abuse. The young people with disabilities who are employed in this little coffee shop absolutely shine. They are a delight to have around. I especially loved meeting Josh today - he was so full of joy and really fun to talk to! They have a large, welcoming space with comfy seats, a play area for kids, and a small shop that celebrates and supports the disability community with really cute t-shirts. Generally speaking, places like this are often all heart and mission, often times at the expense of everything else, but Ri's somehow managed to do it all. The prices are incredibly reasonable, and the food and drinks are genuinely delicious. My almond croissant and tea were both amazing, and my friend really enjoyed his latte too. All of it, plus the warmest smiles, for $12. Plenty of parking outside, plenty of space inside, and a business really worth supporting!

I don't…read moreremember what I ordered last time I was here, but I remember that it was good enough to warrant another trip. Well, today was not good. I ordered the Chicken-Fried Steak breakfast. I should have known better when the waitress said they hadn't received their shipment of white gravy, and all they had was brown gravy. White gravy is butter, flour, and milk. It's just about the simplest thing for a kitchen to make, and they get it in a box. Worst yet, they can't make any from scratch while they're out of the boxed stuff..? I'm going to guess the brown gravy came out of a box, too, because it was unremarkable. The CFS was clearly frozen. Very chewy, and not much flavor or crunch. The menu used to be colorful and full of photos. Now it looks like the first Microsoft Word Template someone clicked on. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the hash browns were decent. My guest had the corned beef hash and she was too full to finish it. So, I tried it and it was pretty bland, and looked like it came out of a can. I'll give them a second star for knowing how to cook an egg, but next time I feel like a good breakfast on this side of town, I'll just go to Denny's. Denny's is much better than Kay's.

Omg, spent my early Saturday morning here. Jenny at the counter was so nice, my Ubub Latte (I…read moreprobably spelt that wrong lol) was so good; it is a sweeter latte which is fine cause I usually don't get them super sweet. The Chorizo Tacos were fire! Fresh tortillas, I didn't even have to ask, I just knew. The chorizo wasn't too salty at all, it was the good chorizo. They were out of the chicken sausage when I went so hopefully when I go back they have it in stock to try. The outdoor patio was a vibe! It's summer in phx so of course it's hot but they had two nice really big fans, one of them rotated and a speaker, not too loud, playing some house music. My fav. 10/10 - Def coming back $30 total for my order Honesty time: Dusty tables/coffee spills on one of the tables. But that was it! Was there for like a half hour from ordering to finishing my food and leaving. including having wait time with three order ahead of mine.
