    Everything Avocado Toast
    Eric H.

    Came here for a Sunday breakfast and we were able to order right away. I ordered the Everything Avocado Toast and a Honey Vanilla Latte. The piece of toast was huge with a generous amount of avocado and seeds on top, every bite was delicious! Open sandwich style too. I also really liked the latte I got. I'd definitely love to try their other menu items next time!

    Large iced Huckleberry cream latte

    I drive across town for this latte. Huckleberry cream. I just love the flavor and I can't replicate it at home. I have an espresso machine and so have to stop by when I'm in the area. The first time I came I met a friend we sat in the first both by the window. It was very hot. I don't recommend sitting in the front booth. In the back, as you're walking to the bathroom, there's a few tables & board games. I think it would be a great place to meet friends and play games. I recently did this at Meepleville board game cafe. Sure Meepleville has more games to choose from but there's no entrance fee at Skimos & better coffee! Win win. Just bring a game and stay all day. I haven't had any problems with service. Employees seem nice, not exceptional, which I look for, but they are nice enough.

    I've been to this coffee shop a few times, mainly because its conveniently located near where my dogs are groomed. I really wanted to like it, especially since I believe it's family-owned and I love supporting local businesses. That said, the atmosphere has consistently felt unwelcoming. I want to be clear that I am easygoing and don't expect over-the-top friendliness or bubbly customer service. But on multiple visits, I've walked in and not been acknowledged for a while; no eye contact, greeting, nothing. Other times, I've been met with silence and a blank stare. It's honestly weird. Today was actually the first time I was asked "what can I get you today?" here. Even so, after several visits with similar experiences, this spot feels like a gamble in terms of what kind of customer service I'll receive. I only went today because I was very tired, had a long day ahead of me, and I just didn't have time to drive further out. But I genuinely felt a small sense of dread as I drove the short distance there. I visit a lot of coffee shops in the area, and this is the only one where I literally pull up with hesitancy, wondering if I will be met with a cold demeanor. Ultimately, I've decided I won't be returning because I don't need to be anywhere that feels uncomfortable and unwelcoming. When I have a not-so-great experience somewhere, I'm apt to return again (if I enjoyed the product), because sometimes people have off days. But you know what, I've been here several times and at this point...to get a bad feeling before entering a coffee shop? Yeah, I did my due diligence & it's just never that serious to deal with all that to get a drink, lol. That said, there are positives worth mentioning. The shop is clean, quiet, and has plenty of outlets, making it a decent place to work if that's what you're looking for. There are also small dividers between the tables, so you get a sense of privacy from other seated customers. The lighting is on the dimmer side (no harsh overhead lights), and there's usually relaxing music playing. They also have some interesting and unique drink options such as the Mexican mocha and horchata latte. I got an iced sweet vanilla latte with almond milk this time. It was decent. It was also nice that the drink was brought to me at the table I'd been waiting at; that gesture was appreciated. Overall, while I love that this is a local, family-owned business and the drinks are good, the customer service aspect just makes it not worth it for me.

    Iced Horchata Latte and Mexican Mocha
    Cindy R.

    Skimos is proudly Mexican-owned and they don't hide it! From the flavors like Spicy Mexican Mocha and Horchata to the Serrano Avocado toast. It's a cute little grab and go cafe with some seating if meeting a friend for lunch or going on a solo coffee date. I had the Horchata latte which was not too sweet but average but the Mexican mocha was delicious. Reminded me of chocolate abuelita. We also tried the chicken pesto panini and California panini both were BOMB!

    My husband and I had a hankering for a drink treat after spending a few hours in Lake Mead, so we decided to give Skimos a try. The space was clean with ample seating and lots of outlet plugs (hello to a great place to get some work done). There was a large bookshelf in the backroom with boardgames, books, and magazines to enjoy. There was also one gender neutral restroom onsite; door code needed. The barista counter was clean with a display case of goodies. Both baristas working were friendly. I decided to try an iced vanilla matcha latte. The matcha was vibrant in color which tells me it's good quality; the vanilla used was not my favorite though as it tasted a tad artificial. My husband got an iced Mexican chocolate - this was delicious! I definitely stole a few sips of his drink and I could tell he thoroughly enjoyed it because he drank it so fast haha! I really appreciate that Skimos offers a large variety of drinks for us non-coffee drinkers in addition to their coffee / espresso offerings. We'll definitely be back to try more from their menu.

    I have been to Skimos a number of times over the years, but have always forgotten to leave a review. Skimos is a very consistent coffee shop in the Green Valley area. They offer coffee, teas, and food. Their pumpkin spice latte is among the best there is due to the fact that they use pumpkin puree in the coffee. The shop is warm and cozy and has a decent amount of seating. They have music playing in the background to help with the vibes. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely give Skimos a try.

    Came to try this coffee after watching a few videos rating this the best coffee they've ever had. My overall opinion is that it is above average. Definitely better than Starbucks or similar chain coffee shops. But to be called the best coffee ever? I would have to disagree. I had salted caramel, which was good. My wife had Mexican mocha, she said it was very good. We also tried horchata frap, which in my opinion was the best drink we tried. So 4 solid stars, but not best ever.

    This is my second time coming to Skimo's Coffee Shop, and I absolutely love it here. They have great options for both coffee and food, and the place itself is so cozy. I especially love that they even have games in the back--it's such a fun touch. The staff are also incredibly kind and welcoming. I would definitely come here every day if I lived closer, and I'll for sure be coming back.

    Caesar salad wrap

    Walked in early afternoon the place was dimmer than most. Seemed like a cool place to study as they have a back room, separate from the front coffee area. I was kind of bummed as my Matcha tea latte tasted a little watery/blend. I asked the worker if there was anything I can add to it like sugar or syrup said that they would have to charge me for syrup. I know all coffee places are different, but most accommodate to least ensure your drink is to your liking. On the flipside, we did enjoy the food as it was nice, fresh and tasty! The gentleman that helped us towards the end was very friendly and nice. He asked if everything was okay, but by that time I gave up on matcha latte. Unfortunately, don't think we would be back though.

    Avocado toast
    Michelle K.

    Super cute coffee shop! I highly recommend the Mexican mocha with the avocado egg toast!! Food was great, coffee was delicious and not too sweet, which I really appreciated. The workers were very helpful and gave great recommendations! I'll be back to try more items there!

    Jasmine V.

    Got the blended matcha, creme brulee latte, California panini, and everything avocado toast. Blended matcha was a nice blended cold slush but it needed way more matcha. The matcha was not authentic. Creme brulee latte was good. It had a nice touch of creme brulee and coffee was delicious. The California panini was so delicious! I liked how they actually press it real tight and it was perfectly filled with just right amount of sauce. The toast was fresh and crunchy. The add of avocado and the everything bagel was perfect. Staff were friendly and service was good.

    Egg salad avocado toast
    Sabrina D.

    I cannot say enough about the amazing quality and flavor of the food that Skimos coffee shop sells! I went for a coffee date with my girlfriend, and we both had a seasonal coffee and the Egg salad, avocado toast. The pumpkin spice latte was the perfect amount of pumpkin, coffee, and spices that was not overbearing. The avocado toast was the creamiest and most delicious I have ever had. This is a walk up and order restaurant. Your food will be brought to your table when it is complete, I believe this is a small family owned facility and they are definitely doing something right! The servers were kind and the food was brought out in a decent time. There are a small selection of seats that offer both booth and chair options. This is a great place to study or go catch up with a friend.

    Honey vanilla latte
    Joe C.

    STILL the best coffee in the city!! Congratulations on the new location Service is always on point and the coffee is out of this world. Calm chill energy in here even when it's packed.

We were in the…read moremood for some coffee and quick bites so we decided to come here after scrolling Yelp for like 10mins at the airport. I ordered the Strawberry Shine, which was refreshing, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. A special shoutout to the staff, who were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They were more than happy to adjust the syrup level to my preference, which I really appreciated since it allowed me to customize the drink exactly how I liked it. I love the ice that they use here because it allows the drink to stay cold the entire time as I sip on it. One thing that stood out to me was the seating area. You can chill/relax with a coffee in hand. Whether you're meeting up with friends or just looking for a quiet spot to unwind, the atmosphere makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. The cafe is in a somewhat quiet plaza that doesn't get a ton of foot traffic, making it feel a bit like a hidden gem. Despite the location, the people here were incredibly welcoming and the overall vibe was relaxed and laid-back. The breakfast was really good as well. I ordered the sausage egg bite which was the perfect size for me as I just wanted to nibble on something as I enjoy my coffee with friends. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

While Mothership Coffee Roasters originally spun off from Sunrise Coffee, Sunrise Coffee is now under the umbrella of Mothership Coffee Roasters. The shop has completely changed its menu since my last visit so Alien Burrito and Nom Nom Burrito are no longer on the menu. [Parking]: Easy strip mall parking. [Atmosphere & service]: Cozy atmosphere with a sunrise mural on the wall. Friendly service as the staff members brought drinks to our table instead of having us pick up our drinks at the counter. [Menu]: The menu at Sunshine now mostly mirrors Mothership Coffee Roasters' menu. There is only one burrito option called the Big Bang Burrito. The shop offers manual brew (V60 pour over) which takes approximately 3-5 minutes to prepare. *** Big Bang Burrito (eggs, savory bacon and turkey sausage, crispy tots, and melty provolone cheese in a warm flour tortilla - warmed, $13.00): The burrito was piping hot and overall it was a solid breakfast burrito. Decent Cholula crema sauce as it had a good spicy kick. Latte (12 oz Hot Latte, Whole Milk, $6.00): Mediocre latte - not horrible, but not amazing either. *** 3.5-star for burrito and latte - bump up to 4-star on friendly service.

We came in our own crowns, and I'm honestly a little regretful because they have a whole collection of appropriate crowns, hats, and headbands to enjoy your tea as you should. The teas, The Teas! so many to choose from. You can smell them before and decide on 2. so beautifully presented in the most adorable of tea cups. In fact, a whole cubby room of tea sets to see! And the menu is delectable. I don't know if the menu changes, but as of this posting, it is the same I had. I won't say there was a stand out dish; It's a stand out experience! I guess my complaint is I couldn't finish it there, enjoying these unique surroundings; but in the other hand, plenty to enjoy later at home. I need to mention our hostess, certainly Fae- (I'm so sorry I've forgotten your name)- a flittering, fluttering bright spot to the day. Hare, Hatter, Caterpillar in one. I might have imagined her but there every step of the way to let us know what was happening, explain anything that needed to be explained and what was next.

There wasn't much seating available, as the cafe was quite full, and there were a lot of people doing work. Definitely more of a spot for 1-2 people, as there weren't any tables that could accommodate 3 when we went. I asked the staff for a recommendation, so I got the vanilla latte based off of that. I was excited to try this spot since there were many good reviews, though perhaps my expectations were too high. The first thing I check for in an iced latte is the bottom of the cup to see if there are any burnt grounds. To my disappointment, there were, so I knew the espresso wasn't going to be very smooth. Though, I couldn't even taste it. I prefer a strong espresso taste, but all I could taste was the milk with a weak aftertaste of watery espresso. The others in my group got matcha, and they also tasted of milk and syrup with barely any matcha flavor. Overall I don't plan on going back since the drinks we had were disappointingly mid. The menu is very large, but I still don't think I'd be willing to go back and try another to see if it was maybe an off day or if there are better drinks.
