We got there around 8am on a Sunday and there was line but it wasn't a long wait. We wanted to get there early since we heard that items can sell out by the time they close. The stand outs for me were the Croque Monsieur & their Cruffins! They heated up our Croque Monsieur for us since we wanted to eat it in the cafe. Definitely this had to be shared between me & my friend! It's very hearty, but absolutely delicious! I'd totally get it again! The 2 specialty Cruffins we tried were a Cookies & Cream Cruffin & Blackberry Ricotta Cruffin. Both had a delicious filling and were unlike anything I've never had! They change out their flavors often, which only makes me want to come back and try their other flavors. Note: I was told that they only serve cruffins on the weekends so you have been warned! We also brought back a lot of pastries to try! Like their pistachio croissant & their Guava Cheese croissant which were my friend's favorite! They both have great flavors that you can't find elsewhere! Personally, we both tried their chocolate eclair and it wasn't our cup of tea, so I'd skip it next time for something else. My tip: If you have time, enjoy a pastry or 2 at the cafe itself, especially if it needs to be warmed. It's perfect when it comes out! The cafe seating is limited but there were open tables.

As soon as you enter, you can already smell the aromas of the pastries. The staff were super friendly. And the pastries were delicate and beautiful. My husband got the quiche and he loved it! My croissant was good. Maybe because it was sitting outside for a while, it didn't feel as airy and flaky as I expected. Also, surprisingly, their coffee was really good! Better than a lot of bakeries in the city.

There's a large parking lot, but I could see parking being a challenge during peak hours. The "shack" is charming and the interior is vibrant and inviting. Seating is limited inside but there's more outside. The staff was friendly and helpful. The menu had a variety of enticing options, but I went with the staff's recommendation of El Paisano sandwich and my son ordered the El Chicano sandwich. I also got an iced almond milk latte with honey and cinnamon powder and my son got an iced Americano. My El Paisano was very tasty. It usually comes with chorizo, but I requested it without. Without the chorizo, the only protein left is an egg, which isn't enough for me so I should have asked for an additional egg on my sandwich. My latte was solid. My son liked his sandwich and Americano as well. We enjoyed sitting outside, taking advantage of the lovely patio weather we had back in May. They have a complimentary water station which was a thoughtful touch.

No servers but they charge like it. No plates or silverware, plastic cups. Barely any fresh food growing there.

I love to eat out but this is disappointing. Bring the kids and dog, meet with family outdoors but head somewhere else for brunch/ breakfast. Many other restaurant spots nearby like Peppersauce, Rennicks, Lucy's, Market Cafe, Snooze, Sunshine, Scrambles and way more......

The theme is (as one might suspect) songbirds and the entire Cafe is decorated with small songbird items. As a detail oriented person, I was in heaven noticing all the cute decorations. I ordered the matcha latte and it did not disappoint. My friend ordered an iced americano. Both are classic items and they delivered well. There is plenty of seating inside and outside (weather permitting) and it seems like it would be a peaceful place to study or work. The baristas were sweet and patient and helpful with the menu.

Songbird Coffee & Tea House is a cute coffee house in downtown Phoenix (more specifically near the…read moreRoosevelt Row Arts District) and the shop is located in a historic house built in 1904. Apparently the shop sources coffees and teas from local businesses. For example, coffees = Infusion Coffee Roasters in Tempe, loose leaf teas and chai = Maya Tea Company in Tucson, kombucha = Milly Moon Kombucha in Phoenix, and breakfast burritos = Lua Lua Catering. [Parking]: Mostly metered parking and I ended up parking few blocks away from the shop (plenty of metered parking spots near the intersection of E McKinley St & N 5th St). [Atmosphere]: Inside of this historic house, the wall features the work of local artists. The shop also has a cute outdoor patio area with tables. [Menu]: Apparently Matcha Latte is one of the more popular drinks here. The shop offers 12 black tea options, 9 green tea options, 8 herbal tea options, 4 white tea options, and 3 oolong tea options. *** Matcha Latte (16 oz, iced - $6.25): I was surprised that my drink was sugar free by default and I probably say yes when the staff had asked about adding sweetener. The drink was not as creamy as I thought and it was honestly a fairly mediocre drink. The drink also came with a paper straw. *** A great spot for a casual 1st date due to great vibe, but matcha latte just didn't hit the spot.

It seemed like it was more of a grab and go vibe. If u want indoor seating.. They may not have it available. Service: great friendly service. They were helpful when you asked questions. I also went back to ask for a knif to cut my burrito. Food: they had fresh pastries, and buritos, was looking more savory so I ordered a egg+cheese burrito. My friend ordered the poblano burrito, and we exchanged halves and I must say the poblano with the hot sauce is wayyyy better than egg+cheese burrito. Also, as a matcha snob, the matcha latte was not it sadly. If ur not too particular about matcha you'll be fine, but I was disappointed and should have just stuck to the coffee. Small advice.

There…read moreis a small parking lot out front shared with other businesses, including the tattoo/piercing shop next door "In The Streets Tattoo" nowned by the same folks as Xolo Coffee! I was specifically interested in their piercings (Side note, I asked if Xolo Tacos is also owned by them, but it isn't). I visited for the first time on a Sunday afternoon, just missing the late morning rush, so I had ample options to choose from regarding seating (there's couches, tables, stools)! As a first-timer who loves specialty coffees, I inquired about which drink might be the sweetest and best suited to my tastes, and through shared decision-making, we decided on the Azucar Morena! It's comprised of brown sugar and molasses, which satisfied my taste buds and coffee fix. There wasn't a wifi password sign anywhere, but upon inquiry, I received it and proceeded to chill for an hour or so before closing. I loved that they kept the door open to let in more natural lighting and fresh outside air on that serene Sunday afternoon. Overall highly recommend this coffee shop for delicious, unique specialty coffees. I can't wait to return to try more, including the pistachio espesso and cafe de olla! Or I might even stick to my azucar morena that I loved so much

Went out of my way for this one and it was totally worth it…read more It's a bit hidden, but once you turn the corner it's a delightful find. It's a fantastic coffee shop designed with simplicity and producivity in mind - hosted in a gorgeous building with exposed brick and ceilings, which give it an industrial feel. My take on the space was it breathes this interesting balance of lingering, connection with others, and productivity. Almost every seat had a corresponding table, so that's a warm invitation to bring your devices in. There was a Ducati (!!!) parked right across from the coffee bar, which I later learned belongs to the owner just sharing his passion with the coffee community. Small detail, but it says something about the place. Definitely not a coffee shop trying to be a copy and paste chain. Menu had a few creative options I wouldn't mind coming back to try. They've also got their own merch line; the cups were also designed well enough that you'd actually want to keep one. There's street art right across from the shop worth a look if you've got a few minutes to spare. If you don't mind a short drive for a great cup and a space that actually feels lived in, this one delivers. PS - Parking can be tricky. It looks like there's ample space to park, but a lot of that is for Galvanize and the offices in the building. Towing trucks come over often, so heads up if you're going to park there. Don't get caught in the wrong spot.

So, when I walked into the building entrance with intentions to see an art exhibit & I was punched in the face with the intoxicating smell of coffee I HAD to try it, obviously. & they didn't disappoint. The person that took my order made some helpful & honest recommendations, which I appreciate! Considering I don't want to commit to an $8 coffee I'm not going to enjoy, no thanks. I ordered something off the seasonal menu...I think? To be honest I can't recall exactly what drink I ordered but it was iced & about $8 & I asked for light on the caramel. I had to be quick since I was meeting someone & we had limited time. Coffee came out pretty quick & it was a good choice! Great balance of flavor, not too sweet, coffee was smooth. Not too much ice either. I would definitely order again. The space was cool too, lots of natural light, lots of people working. It is located inside of a giant brick building shared with other spaces, parking is limited unless you have handicap parking then no worries there. They also have reserve spots for Coffee Drunk although limited. Or street parking. Now I'll definitely have to check out the LB location!!
