New coffee place! This is not your ordinary coffee shop. This place has exquisite flavors. So far we tried Pistachios frappe, Habibi Latte, Date cold expresso. All of the drinks are full of bold flavors. The place is super cute, they have indoor and outdoor seating. The service is great as well. Definitely give them a try. If you like bold, smoky and full of flavor drink it is your place for sure. read more

I found this place through tiktok. Outside has a lot of parking, we came around 8:20pm and they still had a couple of customers sitting around the room. Their decors is very classy and I felt like I was transported to another culture for sure. I appreciated how the gentleman in the front did not rush me while I was choosing my order. Everything on the display case pretty and looked good. I chose the viral Dubai chocolate and it did not disappoint. I also ordered the carrot cake which was very good. The to go box & bag was VERY classy and nice. I like the ambiance and really would love to try the HABIBI latte next time I come! read more

This place was easy to find and had lots of parking. We arrived 30 minutes after opening on a Sunday, and there were already 3 tables of people in the place. It was extremely quiet inside- no music and minimal sound, so everyone was whispering talking, which was awkward. I wish the menu had a description of the ingredients in the drinks- I was stuck googling different drinks trying to figure it out! I ended up going with the habibi latte since I read that was popular, and I liked it. My husband ordered some sort of coconut latte, and he said it tasted like a chai tea so he tossed it. There is also no food menu that I could see, and the items displayed were not labeled so I just pointed at something when ordering (see photo). It was like a waffle with pistachio syrup and fruit- so yummy! Service was extremely slow- we waited over 10 minutes for our two lattes when there was only 1 couple in front of us still waiting for theirs. Overall, I liked my latte and food, but the confusion when ordering, slow service, and high price tag just didn't cut it for me. I prefer cozy, comfortable coffee shops, and this just wasn't it. read more

Lovely place with a shaded patio. I wasn't sure what to order, so I asked the young lady working there to pick out something since I like pretty much anything that has coffee in it. Her choice was excellent. I also ordered a pastry from the case, expecting to get just that, but it came presented on a nice plate with sliced fruit and whipped cream. Definitely get the croffle if you go there! The place is also spotless! Every moment the staff wasn't preparing food or serving customers they were cleaning something. Wiping counters, sweeping the floor, running the vacuum, dusting. It definitely gave me confidence that the kitchen would be clean and sanitary as well.

I stopped by Shaghf Cafe here in Tempe, AZ and tried their brownie drink. It was super rich and chocolatey, basically a dessert in a cup. If you've got a sweet tooth, you'd probably love it Food & Price The menu has a lot of interesting drinks, but they're definitely on the pricey side. Most of the items are around $6-$7.50, so it's not somewhere I'd go all the time. Location & Vibes The location is pretty unique, and the cafe itself is super aesthetic. The green chairs, gold lights, and modern decor give it a fancy, cozy vibe. It's a great spot to chill or even take some photos. The service was great, they were very kind and helpful Overall The drinks are a little expensive, but the design and vibe of the place make it worth checking out. I'd definitely go back to try something else from their menu read more

If youre looking for a dutch bros style of syrup based drink to enjoy while seated in a nice space then this is the place for you Giving 3 stars because I would actively avoid coming here again and would deter other people from coming.

So as an ASU student I find it pretty hard to find a nice peaceful and quiet cafe. At first I came for a drink but this was a whole experience. I have never felt so calm sitting and drinking in such a chill place. I am a very extroverted person and love me some chaos but this was exactly what I needed. The drinks a bit pricey but honestly I would spend again in a heartbeat beat because it was WORTH EVERY PENNY. I tried their viral Dubai chocolate dupe and mmmm so good. Please go and try! The service was great honestly yes it takes some time but only because they are so busy! At first when we ordered the chocolate we were told they were out but a manager came from the back and immediately informed us that they are preparing another batch which will be out soon. Thank you for him I'm so so so thankful. Anyways please try this place because if you don't I'll continually tell my friends how much I love this place. read more

We wish this place lived up to the hype! The power of social media LOL. The service was decent, the man at the register gave us suggestions when we asked. We ordered both drinks he mentioned they were "known" for which was the Pistachio Frappe & Habibi Latte. We frequent new coffee shops and sadly, these drinks weren't anything special. We also ordered the viral Dubai chocolate and a pistachio cake, both disappointing and extremely overpriced. $9 for a piece of small chocolate? You can tell it was made in house, which I can appreciate but the quality was lacking. There was barely any pistachio filling, all you could taste was the milk chocolate and it was super hard to bite into. We wanted to love it so badly but for the cost of each overpriced item, it just can't be justified. Order: Postachio Frappe Habibi Latte Dubai chocolate Pistachio cake Total = $36 We will not be returning & we would not suggest this place to others. Like all the other reviews, the ambience was very nice but not nice enough to come back. read more

Straight to the point, iced coconut matcha latte, 8/10 It was really good! Not too sweet . I had a pistachio I tried the baclava for the first time, 5/10. It was very very sweet! Maybe if I had it with a black coffee it would've balanced out well. And I had a small bite of the 'Dubai chocolate' 2/10 , Im more of a dark /low sugar chocolate guy and this chocolate was more of a milky chocolate with lots of sugar! Service - polite, fast, 10/10 Price- Idk, I feel like most cafes are pricy. I got 3 standard size drinks with the Dubai chocolate bar and 2 very small baclava pastries for like 52$ and I don't think that's including tip. Ambience was on the louder side.

Noelle manages and buys for the business and Duc does all the cooking and baking. With Noelle spending 15 years residing in Paris, and Duc over 30 you can see their passion for French cuisine. My friend loved her lobster salad sandwich accompanied by a spring mix. I loved the French vinaigrette that came with my salad! It was lip smacking! I wish I could buy some to take home.

(I did not. I ordered a full breakfast and a waffle like an adult with priorities.) I went around 9:15am on a Wednesday--only a few tables were occupied, and the staff was super friendly, gave great recommendations, and the food came out fast. Inside is dialed in with chandeliers, French-y posters and photos everywhere, and a pastry case with tarts, pastries, and cheesecake that basically dares you to behave. The croissant was the star... fresh, flaky, light, buttery... exactly what you want. The egg was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted into it almost like a mini omelette (loved that). My only hiccup was the "bacon." It leaned more limp pork belly than crispy bacon and had a distinct smoke flavor that wasn't the traditional hardwood/hickory vibe I'm used to. Also... because the cheese and egg are fused together, it's basically impossible to pick the bacon out once it's in there. Next time I'd order it without bacon or ask for it on the side and make it crispy. It came with a side salad, which is not what I expected with breakfast, but it was actually great, fresh spring mix and a delicious dressing with a subtle sweet undertone. There were also hash browns with a crispy exterior and soft, warm interior, exactly the texture you hope for I just wish there were more of them! Because I have no self-control around French cafes, I also ordered the Belgian waffle with fruit and whipped cream. The waffle was warm and tasty, more tender/soft than crispy, and I ended up preferring it to the 'scrape the roof of your mouth' style that most restaurants serve up. The whipped cream tasted freshly whipped and the fruit selection was generous. My only critique: I'd skip the granulated sugar on top. The waffle is sweet enough already, and biting into sugar crystals isn't my favorite texture. For a drink I tried the blueberry lavender matcha. It had crushed blueberries in it, but the matcha flavor was pretty mild and the lavender got lost. I also would've liked a touch more sweetness from the syrup but overall it drank a bit "soft" and subtle. Bottom line... really cool little spot with friendly service, quick food, and a pastry case that will absolutely ruin any plan you had to "just eat light." I'll be back but next time I'm customizing that croissant sandwich and letting the pastries talk me into bad decisions.

The space is huge with plenty of tables, booths, and bar seating, plus they have a dog-friendly patio, although it didn't seem to be open during our visit. One thing to note is that ordering is done entirely through QR code, so interaction with staff is pretty minimal. Service was still smooth, but it definitely has more of a self-service feel. Their board game collection is massive and there's a $6 per person fee if you want to play. We ended up skipping the games this time and just came for food and drinks. Food-wise, everything was solid. I had the Spellbinder Hazy IPA along with the patty melt and sweet potato fries (a $3 upcharge). The patty melt was excellent and easily the highlight of my meal. The fries were decent, though I wish they had been a little crispier. My wife had the 12 West Super Beaker Tropical IPA and the carnitas bowl. We also shared the fried pickle chips. Parking can be a bit of a hassle since all the nearby downtown Tempe garages are paid parking, but there are at least several options within walking distance.

We ended up staying for hours trying out so many games, sharing appetizers, and I enjoyed a latte. Definitely one of those places that makes for such a fun and memorable outing.

First Watch

Came here during a quick trip to Arizona and I was blown away. The service was great and our waiter…read morewas attentive and very welcoming. The food was amazing as well. Ordered the chile chorizo omelet, the biscuits with gravy, and the waffle. To drink we had coffee and the seasonal juice (kale, apple, other fruits). The savory dishes were really good, but the star of the show as definitely the waffle. It was soft with just the right amount of crisp and came with a great berry compote. We had another breakfast/brunch spot during this trip to Arizona, but First Watch easily stood out as being the superior breakfast spot that we tried. We liked it so much we took two juices to go. Overall, if we are ever back in the Tempe area, we will definitely be coming here again.

This is honestly one of my new favorite brunch places in Tempe/Scottsdale! The food is really…read moregreat! I've tried the carrot cake pancake, avocado toast (my fav), smoked salmon frittata and the egg scrambles (my favorite). The servers are also very friendly and attentive. My only complaint is they don't sell espresso for lattes :,) but it's okay because Cartel Coffee is Nextdoor.

Located inside…read moreCasino Arizona off of McKellips, this quick bite cafe does a great job putting out some food. The breakfast burrito is large, maybe three eggs, sausage, potatoes and cheese, wrapped in a grilled tortilla and served with house made hot sauce, sour cream and your choice of French fries or tater tots. These items were cooked to order, hot and fresh, and the best part is the price. $6.75 with tax as of today 8/8/22. Very filling and quite affordable. I paid $10 for a breakfast burrito from one of those "bertos" places last week and it didn't come with fries. Hardest part is not gambling while there.

I had their regular cold brew with a splash of cream and a Sunrise Sandwich- both were so good! The cold brew had a lovely aftertaste that in my opinion, reminded me of dark chocolate and whiskey. Service was also fantastic- the lovely barista was thorough in her explanations of each cold coffee option to help me find what I was looking for! My sandwich was also lovely- the Sunrise Sandwich on an Everything Bagel is easily my favorite breakfast sandwich in Tempe. The Basil Pesto adds a bit of freshness to an otherwise very rich sandwich. Also stopped in a few more times on my evening walks for a Lavender Haze (seasonal earl grey sage honey drink: EXCELLENT!) and their seasonal energy drink- it was a Sunset Spritz (energy with grapefruit pink cordial): both delicious. Happy to say service has improved greatly. Employees are on task and happy to answer my questions. The drinks on the seasonal menu are very good, and their classics are also great. If you're going to go soon, I'm a big fan of the Sage honey and a big fan of the cordial syrup on the 2026 Spring Menu. Will definitely be hitting Infusion up for some future study sessions. Glad to see Infusion takes customer feedback seriously.
