    Iced Matcha with raspberry cold foam / Soy Milk
    Sami M.

    This cafe is such a local hidden gem! Both of our drinks were honestly so delicious. They have authentic unsweetened Matcha and tasty cold foam options. For my latte, the 20 oz option came with 3 shots of espresso. It was very balanced between that roasted espresso taste, creamy, and some sweetness from the cold foam. Sozo has live music and poetry at different times during the week- primarily the weekend. We will definitely be back for some live music. If you go during the day, it's also great for working and they have a private play area for your kids to play while you catch up or work!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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!

    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!

    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 :)

    Honey chai and latte

    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.

    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...

    Erica W.

    Really cute and quaint coffee shoppe. Customer service was good and they had a variety of menu items to choose from. Seems like a great alternative to larger chain coffee places and you get to support local. :)

    Ask the Community - SoZo Coffeehouse

    Do they have wifi?

    Yes they do.

    Are they following CDC & public health guidelines to continue to require customers to wear masks indoors when not eating or drinking?

    Not anymore as it's not a requirement anymore. They are very clean and a family environment so I'm sure they did but I wasn't here during that period so I can't speak to those past times.

    When is it the most busy, is there a specific day or time that it is more packed or is it always kind of laid back?

    Evenings with live music (or whenever they have such events) it gets busier. Rest of the time it's mostly laid back. Pretty awesome that way.

I tried their pistachio cold foam latte with half sweet, and it was so good, the cold foam was light and airy, the syrup didn't overpower the taste of coffee. I usually don't drink sweet coffee, just like original hot latte, but I love pistachio so had to tried this, and it was really good. My husband got the hot latte and it was even better.

They have for here cups which is something I've noticed not a lot of coffee shops around the area carry anymore so that was awesome. The Moroccan latte was a HIT. Everyone was obsessed with this one, we also added pistachio cold foam on top. For the Moroccan we asked for it to be half sweet and it was still pretty sweet so be aware that this one is for the sweet tooth. The pistachio latte was delicious as well. The lemon poppy seed matcha was really good as a matcha, meaning the matcha was delcious and easy to ddrink. Not a lot of lemon flavor in it tho but the quality was good so no complaints. Their pastry selection is lacking however, this might be because we came a little later in the day but there was not a lot of options. The lemon scone was delicous but the raspberry key lime cupcake was far too sweet. However, this was an awesome shop and I would highly recommend it.

I didn't notice any signage and I would've been more than happy to have either gotten permission to eat on the patio if I would've known those were rules or purchased anything I needed to.

There are usually a couple gals behind the counter, watching the screen while you place your order ... waiting patiently as you peruse their many choices, trying to decide which tea to order. They are super friendly and very helpful. This visit we ordered the ginger chai, vanilla bean cream latte. I preferred the ginger chai, but my sister thought hers was betters. Our second visit we ordered the orange bianco, along with the cream earl grey milk teas. Both also wonderful. Today we ordered the raspberry chocolate milk tea and cocoa cream matcha. I may sound like a broken record, but yes, they were wonderful. It is NOT a boba tea shop; it was, but no longer. Incidentally, if you come the "back" way, entering off Warner vs Dobson, the signage on the back side still says Ni Hao. :-) Since we've already visited them three times, I think it's pretty clear we would highly recommend their teas.

I highly recommend getting the sugar on the regular croffle. It caramelizes and adds a pretty sheen and crunch without taking away from the croissant base. It is very clean and quiet inside during less busy hours. TeaMakers has a medium-small amount of seating featuring both hard table tops and a comfy couch sitting area. With their current setup, you can fit a group of up to 4 at their biggest tables. TeaMakers & Company excels in everything already despite being so newly opened. I truly do not have any constructive criticism to give at this time, and I've been there multiple times already.
