What a beautiful hidden gem in Tempe! I had just finished a…read moredoctor's appointment and was craving coffee, so the name Seattle Espresso caught my attention and I decided to stop in around 9:00 AM. The place was packed, and it was so heartwarming to see so many regulars greeting each other--it instantly gave the shop such a welcoming, community feel. I noticed they've been around since 1993, which is honestly so special to see. The woman at the front even joked that we're not as old as the coffee shop The menu is simple, with some really good specials. I ordered the Russian Twist latte, and wow... it was so good. I could honestly drink it every single day. The coffee was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The prices are very reasonable, the ambiance is cozy, and it's the kind of place where you can work, relax, or just sit and enjoy the vibe. The little fountain outside adds such a lovely touch too. This is definitely going to be my go-to spot whenever I have an appointment in the area.

You can tell that every detail, from the decor to the menu, was created with care and pride. The coffee was absolutely incredible. It was rich, smooth, and crafted perfectly. I had the Sugar & Spice Coffee Latte. You can taste the quality and passion in every sip. And the customer service? Top-tier. Genuine, kind, and attentive in a way that makes you feel seen, not just served. What I loved most is how this space feels like more than just a coffee shop...it's a community. A place where culture, creativity, and connection are celebrated. If you're looking for a spot that pours love into everything they do, this is it. I'll definitely be back!

Desert Hills Coffee coffee shop located in Chandler. It is a little hidden and easy to miss, but I…read morerecommend going out of your way to find it. The service was great, there was one person working the morning I went in and she was fast with making drinks!!! When ordering you can either order with the barista or through a tablet. I ordered with the tablet, which was cool because it really helped show the options available and any alterations that could be made on your drink. I ordered a Red Rock Chai with Oatmilk (half sweet and extra hot). The chai spicing was phenomenal and extremely balanced. If you arent the biggest fan of super sweet drinks, I would definitely recommend that you order it half sweet or even less sweet. The half sweet was still a little too sweet for me. The shop was setup in a way that could host book clubs or large group gatherings, and the shop promotes that it is book club friendly. If you look at their website they actually talk about this in their story. Overall great local business to support, recommend checking it out.

Thankfully, Where U Bean has decaf espresso, which means I had lots of possible options for drinks. They offer direct trade coffee and organic teas, and homemade treats as well. Their drinks are creative and very tasty. I had the brown butter chocolate chip cookie with my coffee, and it was to die for. You can sit at tables and work, or sink in comfy couches and look around at the eclectic art. And eclectic it is, maybe my only semi-negative feedback is that it was hard to see how the name related to the decoration theme, or whether there was an overall theme at all. That's hardly a criticism though, I like places that go in many directions, it give them character. That wall of vinyls is epic! Parking was easy as the shop is located in a plaza. Plenty of spots available on a Sunday afternoon. Based on other reviews, it sounds like it's not always the case. Also, it's open until later compared to other coffee shops, which is nice if you want to spend an afternoon of teleworking. The coffee shop itself was quite crowded, but not so much that we couldn't find seats. And the staff was very friendly, which is always a plus!

It was delightful and distinct with the date syrup and rose water. Next time I would choose almond milk because the oatmilk (+1. ) overpowered the delicate rose notes. To my surprise, gluten free food options were available at this non chain business. A chocolate chip almond cookie, peppermint bark cheesecake and an almond cake all tempted me. I went with the almond cake and enjoyed the fresh, moist, sweet treat that was topped with toasted slivered almonds. Winner. Even though I think the tab was a tad high for a morning coffee break ($16.36) I would return. I enjoyed my time here while observing the local patrons interact neighborly with each other. The homey community vibe oozed throughout this cafe which Starbucks doesn't provide. A charming cafe that seats 35 patrons inside and approximately 18 people outside. Stop on by.

You order at a counter and the staff will bring food to your table. My favorite item is the breakfast sandwich. The brioche is tasty, the eggs are extremely fluffy, and the sausage has nice flavor. The garlic aioli helps bring it all together. For coffee, I like the King, but make sure to order it half sweet. It has a perfect balance that way. The cold foam on top is delicious. There are plenty of events going on here too. Bottle & Bean regularly schedules live music to play throughout the month on their lawn. They also have wine, so it is a great spot for morning and evening. The staff are very friendly and attentive too!

I especially love their music nights on the grass/turf. Their outdoor area is such a draw. I even did a morning Pilates session there once that was held I think once per month on a Saturday by Haia Studio Nextdoor who is also a standout for Downtown Ocotillo! I love seeing them working together... I love their coffees and drinks! However, the only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that their food menu is lacking and it takes so long to get it when you do order something. For instance I once ordered some sort of pastry I think it was banana bread, and it tasted like the Starbucks one that come prepackaged like airplane food and it took 35 minutes until it was delivered to my table. Another time I ordered a breakfast scramble or similar w Potato wedges and it tasted like something microwaved and took over 40 minutes to get ...so personally I just stick w drinks when I come here. But if they ever upgrade their food menu I'll come back and give it 5!
