I was nearby and wanted some coffee. This place had really good reviews and I can see why!…read more Beanchain is HUGE, lots of space for studying, working or catching up. It was not busy during the week when I came by around 9am. They have a great book selection but ask that you read the books there, not like a take a book leave a book. Lots of delicious looking pastries and food items available for purchase. I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon and it was huge!! Enough for two meals. And it was delicious! I also ordered the blueberry muffin latte which was too sweet for me but still delicious. I would probably get less sweet next time! I can't wait to come back and try something else. Definitely recommend checking this spot out!

The French toast latte was also really good if you like sweet drinks.

Almost. The layers of rich chocolate cake, silky chocolate goodness, and light, creamy filling came together in a way that was decadent without being overly sweet. Every bite tasted elevated, elegant, and incredibly well done. This wasn't just chocolate cake; it was an experience. It was a birthday gift, and hands down, one of my favorite birthday treats ever. Beautiful presentation, incredible flavor, and absolutely worth every bite.

Tous Le Jours does a beautiful job of hitting all the right notes. Their pastries are soft, not too sweet (just right), and baked fresh. So fresh that they do BOGO every night because they go stale fast unlike other places. Look for places that offload their goods daily like this. That means they prioritize freshness!

When I first moved here, I stopped in out of curiosity, and I still remember how genuinely kind and welcoming every employee was. As someone who was new to the area, that first impression meant a lot. Three years later, the same warm atmosphere keeps me coming back. Their hours have always worked perfectly with my schedule, giving me a comfortable place to study after work. There is plenty of seating, and best of all, lots of outlets, which has been a lifesaver for someone like me with an ancient laptop that seems to lose battery the moment I turn it on! Beyond the amazing coffee and cozy ambiance, what really sets this place apart is its commitment to the community. They regularly host events that are open to the public and even keep an event calendar posted so customers can stay informed. I've also seen them partner with organizations like Prisma HealthCare to offer free health screenings, which speaks volumes about how much they care about the people they serve. This isn't just a coffee shop. It's a place where you feel welcomed, supported, and connected. Between the wonderful employees, delicious coffee, inviting atmosphere, and genuine sense of community, it's easy to see why I've been a loyal customer for so long. Thank you for creating such a special place. You've made Arizona feel a little more like home.

The folks that work there are so friendly, after just two visits they were already treating me like a regular. The shop is inviting, cozy, and built for you to spend time there. They aim to build community and they are very forward with their beliefs, so you know the folks there are going to have the same values as you. Happy Pride! Love you Brick Road.

You can buy bags of coffee to take home, too. There is a case with donuts and pastries. I love that they have some colorful earrings and tumblers for sale. The person at the register was so nice and helpful, making sure to go over all our options with us. This place was a burger king in it's forever life, but all of the old signs of plastic booths are gone, and that have been replaced with wooden tables, industrial metal chairs, a bar height communal table, and a leather sofa/chair conversation area. I love the beamed ceiling and the mountain scene made in wood on the wall. We ordered an iced turtle mocha and a cold brew. Both were delish. I never drink black coffee, but the cold brew was so good I would drink it black. We also ordered roast beef melt, panini style, and the ham and Swiss melt, also panini style. Both were yummy. They were each served with a pickle and a bag of chips. There were several people working on laptops when we were here. They even have a printer available which is a huge plus for people here working. There were several rainbow flags and even a rainbow themed drink of the month, so this place is definitely lbgtq+ friendly. This is a great little spot, and I certainly see my self returning.

By the time this place was picked and built, it was very clear the following and dedication people have and had to Dutch Sure there's a "parking lot" but it absolutely cannot be used. And it's placed right next to where the entrance to a bigger parking lot used to be, meaning it's near a traffic light and intersection. The way this line/ these lines get backed up from both sides is beyond annoying. You can't park in their parking lot to walk up, so you have to hope you find a a spot in in-n-outs parking lot. Thank God they don't get mad or have signs that say in n out parking only. The whole layout of structure of this location is beyond Inconvenient and dumb. People are nice, food and drinks are always fine, but I wouldn't choose this location to go to because of how bad it is to wait inline. As if it's not already bad to wait in a Dutch line

The people of Arizona love us some Dutch Bros and I'm glad to hear that they're expanding to other states and are doing so successfully! The workers here are always so nice. I had a chuckle when someone thought my name was spelt, "Jce." And when they saw the Trader Joe's canvas bag recently, I let them smell the corn candle I just picked up. Such interactions wouldn't happen out in the wild. It's great! On my recent visit, I got the Candy Cane Mocha with oat milk. I think when you get a dairy alternative, it's not as chocolate-y but it's still a great drink. Come here when you want those feel good vibes. No snooty coffee snobs, no fuss, and no overly pretentious coffee names.

Service was great, line goes by quick and they explain the different types of drinks that they have if you have any questions.

There is lots of space and seating for studying or catching up with a friend. Music is a bit loud though so that's something to be aware of if you're here for studying.

Sojo Donuts has become our go-to spot for a delightful vegan treat. My wife and I are huge fans of this charming donut shop, which has quickly become a beloved part of our routine. The first thing you'll notice about Sojo Donuts is the cool, inviting vibe. The owners are hands-on, working diligently every day until they sell out of their delicious creations. This dedication not only ensures the freshest donuts but also adds a personal touch that makes every visit special. My wife is particularly fond of their Boston cream donut, which she claims is the best she's ever had. As for me, I can't pick a favorite because I genuinely love almost every donut they offer. Each bite is a testament to the creativity and passion the owners pour into their work. But the magic of Sojo Donuts doesn't stop at their donuts. Their breakfast sandwich is amazing, making it a perfect start to any day. Whether you're vegan or not, this place has something to delight every palate. The quality and taste are so exceptional that even non-vegans will find themselves coming back for more. Sojo Donuts is a gem, offering fantastic vegan donuts and more. The hardworking owners, the inviting atmosphere, and the incredible food make this a must-visit spot. Highly recommended for everyone! read more

The donuts are spectacular. I thought once I went vegan I could never have a Boston creme again! Sojo made that a reality . The maple bacon is also SO good, my favorite. All the kids love the cookie dough donuts, so far we haven't had a donut we didn't like here! I am also soooo thankful they have gluten free donuts as my little one with celiacs doesn't feel left out now:) and his favorite is donuts! The hidden gem is also the delicious sandwiches which I always eat before I remember to take a photo so I can brag about my breakfast . The cold brew with a splash of almond milk is phenomenal. Everything is just perfectly splendid here at Sojo! I even got a shirt because it is just TOO CUTE. read more

My New Favorite Donut Spot!…read more I stopped by around 1 AM and was pleasantly surprised to see such a well-stocked donut case! They have an amazing menu with so many options, including drinks, ice cream sandwiches, and pretty much everything you need to give yourself a delicious cavity . The service was great, and honestly, the late-night atmosphere made the experience even better. They had good music playing, and there were people inside enjoying themselves and grabbing some late-night munchies. It was such a vibe! I also love that they have a drive-thru, which is perfect for those late-night donut cravings when you don't feel like getting out of the car. Definitely safe to say this has become my new favorite donut shop!
