I went for a weekday, post-dinner coffee meetup with friends, and the place definitely has a cozy vibe a great hangout spot. They're open until 10 PM, which is a big plus. The crowd was a mix of students, groups of friends, and a few serious laptop-working folks. It seems like they have live bands over the weekends, which sounds fun. The whole setup gave strong Friends series vibes comfy couches, tables, and that relaxed café energy. They offer a good variety of coffee and tea options. I tried their special vanilla matcha, and unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it at all. It was overly sweet, and the matcha flavor was barely noticeable. I've definitely had much better matchas elsewhere. Maybe this place is better known for their coffee. Overall, it's a nice hangout spot, but I don't see myself going back. read more

Sozo Coffeehouse is an amazing coffee shop. I went mid-day on a Saturday and it was a calm and relaxing atmosphere. There were a lot of groups of people talking, a bookclub, and a lot of people just drinking coffee and reading and it was still not overly loud. The shop also has band equipment and host different musicians throughout the week, I will definitely be coming back for that. The service was wonderful, friendly and quick. I ordered a large hot pistachio latte with oatmilk. The coffee was extremely well balanced and the pistachio flavor was noticeable and delicious. This was one of the best lattes that I have gotten in the valley and I highly recommend trying it. read more

Sozo Coffeehouse has been locking down the SW corner of Alma School and Warner for many years. While I don't drink coffee, my wife does and we stopped in for a drink and some live music Friday night. This coffeehouse is amazing- spacious, well-lit, lots of tables and chairs, fun decor, live music stage with great speakers and more. We were able to rearrange the chairs and get close to the stage for some live jazz! Nothing better than a hot drink in hand (mine was a chai tea with oat milk- delicious!) listening to great live music. They also have some shelves with board games and cards so you can play leisurely games. They have nice tables to be used as workstations for individuals or a larger party. The workers and servers were all very pleasant and the owner was there and got to mention what a great time I had. Do yourself a favor and check out Sozo! read more

I keep coming back to this cool spot for the past few years and every time I feel like home away from home! I like to come here and get my coffee and just relaxed. The atmosphere is kids friendly, there is some space for a group meeting for rent or first come first served. There is the activity room for young toddler to enjoy their fun time on Thursday and Friday in the morning. It's not too many coffee shops that have prepared a lot of space for working people and the space for the kids at the same time! Come and check this place out for yourself-- I'm sure you will like it. The service is super friendly and read more

Wow, what a cool place! I was looking for something different than the big chains and found SOZO near my house. I stopped in to see if they could make something I would like since I'm not super fond of the taste of coffee itself. Scott, the owner, was very cool and very friendly. He explained some things and made a suggestion that I went with. So once the choice was made, Davey jumped into action and made my drink and I have to say it was spot on! On weekend nights they offer live music, some poetry readings, and they offer their facility for group events. The place is pretty big with lots of comfortable seating and the atmosphere is awesome with some light music playing in the background. This is a one off spot that's local and has been around for 15 years and I recommend SoZo to EVERYONE looking for a spot to enjoy their morning coffee and a very friendly place to do that. If you're looking for a cold, personality lacking drive thru, forget it. The idea here is to stop in and relax while enjoying your beverage. BTW, they are closed Sundays because they offer their shop up for a couple of church services. FIVE STARS for sure read more

What an artsy place! I came in, there was a live band playing, people vibing and just positivity filling up the place. If you look for coffee shops with an interact experience and place to chill and hangout with cool people, this is the place. The staff were super friendly and helpful, they really brought the mood to bring positivity to earth . I feel like the world was a little better after coming here. There was a lot on the menu, it was late so I got a blueberry chai and it was delicious. I definitely need to come try to coffee next! read more

Listen - their cold brew with honey and vanilla still rocks after all this time. I'm in the area to pick up food nearby and wanted to make sure I had something to drink on my way home. The vibes are still the same: chill, friendly, and low key. They weren't too busy today for a Saturday, but we are also approaching a holiday, so I'm sure tonight it will. Fantastic spot in Chandler still! read more

First time here! I'm not much of a coffee drinker but sometimes I get cravings. So it's nice when the barista is patient enough with me to figure out what I want. Super cute fun vibes! They have board games, a kid zone and a stage for live music. I'm sure they get busy as the day goes on. I really like it here. I got an oatmeal, off the farm apple cinnamon bar and a banana for breakfast.As for the coffee , I ordered a cold brew with oat and macadamia nut. Yummy and half sweet just how I like it. The barista was very nice and would go above and beyond. You could tell there were quite a few regulars there too! I will be returning :) read more

Perfect day to take a walk and grab some coffee. Scott (owner) delivers above and beyond service along with an exceptional product without fail. On the weekends they have live music and mini concerts. The first Thursday of the month is open poetry night. A chill environment with comfy chairs. Perfect for chatting with a friend. Free WiFi for those wanting to work or catch up on emails. read more

There's a variety of drinks and they have a large seating area with live music which is amazing! I ordered a chai and got the wrong flavors, but they offered to remake my drink which was super kind of the barista. I saw they were busy and the flavor was good anyway so I was fine with my wrong drink. I will say the chai was a powder so it wasn't my favorite, but it's very sweet if you love the sweet chai mixes out there. The coffee was good too, nothing insane but a coffee is a coffee especially if you're going for a social low key type of place. read more

It was our first time visiting (morning visit) and from the moment we walked in we were warmly greeted. While placing our order, the barista showed great patience and shared helpful suggestions and recommendations. I ordered a mocha and a caramel cold brew, both mocha and caramel were perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not bitter at all, absolutely spot on. We will definitely be returning, especially to check out the musical platform and try more of the pastries. read more

Stopped in for afternoon coffee. The place is located in a strip mall, but pretty well done in the inside. Good amount of people hanging out as well. Service was fast and friendly. Menu encompasses all the standards plus a good selection of holiday drinks. I opted for an Americano. Not too shabby. Piping hot when it was served. Slightly acidic, but overall pretty good. N*joy... read more

I usually don't do reviews but this low quality experience made me do it! QT has way better coffee. The ambience, free WiFi, parking & music is great. Beware the veggie breakfast burrito only has veggies no eggs, cheese NOTHING and it's super small! The menu does NOT state or make that clear and it's sadly over priced! read more

They have an amazing selection of teas and they are so delicious! The cookies were generously yummy also! :) I loved that they sent a coupon after my first visit. The staff is friendly and helpful! The 2nd time I went, I wasn't sure what I wanted so I took a chance on something I've never had. I ordered to Cochata (coffee and horchata). I wasn't crazy about it because I wasn't sure if it was iced coffee mixed with the horchata or regular coffee mixed with the horchata. (There is a noticeable difference between iced and hot coffee, to me. ) I absolutely love the size of the cafe, which allows you to have your space and privacy in convos or working on your laptop. And I'm even more grateful that they are open late when I have to get a sitter to get some work done! read more

Excellent ambiance and really nice staff. Pastries and coffee were just ok but definitely a great spot to meet up with friends. They have a ton of board games and a kids' playroom. Stage was set up for live music but I was there early morning. read more

I finally made it to this Chandler mainstay. In 2010, Scott and Lori Morgan opened up this coffee house inclusive of a playroom (on designated days) and stage for live music. Featuring local artistry on the walls, local artists on stage and giving to charity with each cup sold SoZo is visibly connected with the locals. The cozy, interior makes an ideal place for working or relaxing comfortably. I love having milk options and had to take a minute to decide which one out of the nine I would have in my pumpkin latte. It probably wouldn't have mattered which milk I chose for this beverage because it was delectable! So flavorsome, rich and creamy made with REAL pumpkin! My friend had it iced and I ordered mine hot. We both finished our pumpkin lattes and smacked our lips after. read more

While I'm the area looking for an apartment I needed a pick me up & stopped at Sozo Coffeehouse. I heard they have vegan pastries & music on certain nights so I was definitely curious about this place. I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cinnamon sugar with vanilla & almond milk. It was pretty good. Unfortunately they were out of vegan pastries . I will have to come back to check out the live music with local bands that they have here. Staff was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back. read more

I had a really great experience at SoZo for a small informal coffee meeting. Baristas were super friendly and nice and lots of seating and space inside. They had a stage set up for performers. Wifi available and my drink was yummy. This is in a commercial shopping center so there was plenty of parking. read more

I had the special, Brit's Legit Chai which had Madagascar Vanilla with a Caramel Drizzle and it was delicious. They have great live music too from local artists. I saw Sarah Dailey perform and she played acoustic/folk. Very moving songs. Superb coffeehouse with plenty of seating, great drinks, and beautiful live music. read more

I'm not a coffee person but went for the open night poetry. Ugh t with my daughter who enjoyed her coffee. To my surprise, my doesn't want the spotlight daughter, added her name to the list! We arrived after it began so it was quite awhile before she was able to read, but when it was her turn she was cheered to the stage! The audience was great and chanted her name after she was done. This was a fun night and I'd come back with some friends for the at home ambience. The space is huge and would be a great meeting place. read more

Hadn't been to SoZo Coffee house in awhile and was meeting up for a date night and he suggested to stop for coffee and SoZo was the place suggest and off we went. It was a Thursday night and there was a nice size crowd. SoZo has a great vibe wither on a date night, hanging out with friends or just looking for quite time. Plenty of seats inside and sidewalk seats as well. SoZo offers Cartel Coffee and I knew I was already a fan of Cartel so after checking out the menu I went with one of the specialty drinks they were featuring for that week, it was chocolaty caramel good. This was a great cup of joe! Not sure why I haven't frequent SoZo more often but I know I will be back! read more

I've been past sozo before because I've been to the cook candy store next to it, but this was my first time here! There is a lot of space and a stage for live music. It was quiet and laid back when I went. I was a little indecisive with my order and changed it on them twice but the baristas were patient with me haha. I got a brown sugar latte, iced, with oat milk. It was ready super fast and was so delicious! I've had issues with lattes tasting too burnt or too sweet lately but this one was just right! Would definitely come back here. read more

Specifically came here for their flavor options and my coffee tastes like espresso and milk. Told them my mom likes her coffee sweet and hers tastes the exact same as mine. Not sure if they forgot to add any flavor but it was not busy and we were very clear about our order (it was written on the cup correctly). Will not be going back. read more

This is a cozy and relaxing coffee shop in Chandler. It's a great place to meet friends and play board games. the service was quick and friendly. I ordered a decaf iced mocha as it was later in the day. I requested half sweet as they tend to be sugary for me. The drink was perfect. Would come again read more

If I ever opened a coffee shop I would want it would be VERY similar to SoZo. Love this place Also they have really good cinnamon rolls?? read more

Stumbled upon this place while killing time waiting for Asian market nearby to open. Way cool spot with killer vibes. Groovy and loud music playing in background. Plenty of couches, arm chairs and dining tables too. Looks like they have live music on Fri and Sat evenings. I decided to try something different. I had the cochata which is horchata milk with espresso. Good mix of flavors but there was a bite of espresso in this combo which I wasn't a huge fan of. Nice, friendly customer service. read more

Yeah, 5-star coffee shop ... what does that even mean? So, the product is pretty good. But, it's more about the ambiance, energy, and community vibe to this place. Coffee drinks are personal preference and I don't care tremendously about them if they're above a certain level. I go to SoZo because of what they're building and because of their place in the community. I suggest you give it a try and see if you can find a place for yourself there. read more

This is a okay place to sit if you have noise cancellation headphones the place is very nice it gives a homey vibe except when they have a band there the music is honestly to loud to even be good they could be playing the best song ever and it would be horrible cause of the volume also don't go at 2-4 pm Therese a lot of kids there from the school across the street which are very pound and weird (I can say that I went to the school a year ago). Some of the drinks there are okay but many of the juices taste water down and no flavor and the code can ether be strong or light you Neva really know but it's a good place to come from opening -1 or from 4-close IF Therese not a band read more

I have been to Sozo plenty of times now to say that I am truly one a fan. I have recommended to visit and brought friends here myself.. and everything loves it! From the tea (which they steep right in front of you), the matcha (my favorite, and they offer sweetened or unsweetened), or the treats (you HAVE to try the croissants), I have never had a less than stellar experience. The mood of the cafe is so relaxing and perfect for work or studying. They offer live music on some evenings, which I have never taken advantage of, but would love to check it out. Their drink specials are also unique and how I found one of the best drinks I've ever had... a peach cobbler chai! Love, love, love read more

Ambiance is cozy, music is chill, noise level is perfect to chat or get a bit of work done. Tge girls behind the counter were very sweet I had cheesecake chai, was wonderfully delicious and frothy. I'll be back for more. read more

Came the other week for their Open Mic night, which I have attended many times before. I usually enjoy these, but this last visit was horrendous. We were watching a band of two young girls play- they were actually pretty good. But then a woman (who must be the owner) came out and publically berated and humiliated these young ladies. It was completely in appropriate and absolutely despicable. She should be ashamed of herself!!! This is an open mic, where all are welcome. I've seen some good, some ok, some great, and some not so great- but that's the fun of attending open mic events. After the actions by the owner I have decided never to return back. I will not be supporting this business. I would suggest others take this review seriously and join me in a boycott of this business. read more

One of my favorite Coffee shops in the East Valley. It's cute, has ample seating with couches, chairs, barstools and has some solid drinks/snacks. There is a stage with live music, poetry, and other acts that come through on a weekly basis. Goal of mine is to see one of these acts, but usually I'm there pretty early to grab some coffee, study, or read only. Neighborhood staple! Also the barista's and owner is super friendly, they'll just come by and randomly talk or shoot the breeze with you. Enjoy! read more

This is going to be my new favorite coffee shop. I usually go to Mythical Coffee, but they close early at 6pm. This place has live music sometimes and poetry nights. Theres tons of tables, sofas, and chairs. It's a great place to study. I usually get chai or matcha and they have both and they're both really good. The workers are really nice too. I would love to check this place out again when they have a poetry night. read more
