Coming from Seattle, I have been heavily disappointed in most of the coffee I've had in Arizona. This place is one of the few that we've actually liked! We got a vanilla latte (with vanilla cold foam) and a brown sugar honey and cinnamon latte (with cookie butter cold foam). Both were really good. Service was friendly and atmosphere is great for working/studying. They have WiFi, lots of tables, and ample street parking. We will return!

Today, my usual coffee routine took a detour when I stumbled upon The Black Sheep, a charming spot tucked away in the heart of Downtown Glendale. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by an incredibly inviting atmosphere that masterfully blends industrial cool with quirky coziness. The concrete floors and sleek, matching polished counters give it an undeniably modern, industrial edge. Yet, this is beautifully softened and enlivened by the fantastic hand-painted art on the brick walls. It's funky, it's artistic, and it somehow feels both edgy and incredibly welcoming; a truly unique vibe that instantly makes you want to settle in and stay a while. As an appreciative patron of plant-based options, I was thrilled to see their menu had a vegan option. I indulged in their vegan grilled cheese sandwich. Pressed in a panini maker, it was crispy on the outside, gooey and savory on the inside. Beyond the food and drinks, the experience was elevated by the genuinely friendly staff. They were welcoming and efficient, and it was lovely to see them taking the time to chat and laugh with their regulars, creating a real sense of community and warmth. The prices were extremely reasonable. It's refreshing to find a place that offers such great value without compromising on quality or atmosphere. The Black Sheep isn't just another coffee shop; it's a vibrant, welcoming haven that hits all the right notes. Good food and drinks, a unique and cozy atmosphere, and wonderful service, all at a great price. Consider me a new regular.

I've been working at coffee shops this week and thought i'd be coffee out. But The Black Sheep is incredible. Nestled in Downtown Glendale, this is an open space with great coffee and even better service. I ordered an iced The Emily- Salted Caramel Latte with Irish Cream Cold Foam. It was the perfect weekday pick me up. It had the warm sweetness of the caramel and irish cream that's cut by the salt and coffee flavor. Cute spot to stop in. It's open until 8 PM so it'd be a great place to get a warm drink during Glendale Glitters.

Iced Mocha!

Great Mocha. Service was quick and friendly. Neat little shop. Didn't have one but their pastries looked amazing. I'll have to try one of their cinnamon rolls next time I'm in. Now go get you some.

Cold brew with strawberry cold foam

Easily my favorite coffee shop! The food and drinks are amazing. I LOVE their chocolate cold brew with peanut butter cold foam. The staff are always super friendly too! It's a great place to grab a drink and hang out.

Iced Irish cream Amaretto
Joshua B.

Absolutely loved my visit to Black Sheep Coffee! I ordered an iced Irish cream amaretto coffee--it was smooth, perfectly balanced, and had just the right hint of sweetness. For food, I had the spinach and cheese panini with added turkey and a side of chipotle aioli. The panini was fresh and flavorful, and the chipotle aioli took it to another level. The atmosphere was cozy, the staff was friendly, and everything was made with care. Definitely one of my new favorite coffee spots in Glendale!

Had a great time with the fam on spring break enjoying some drinks and treats. This place never disappoints just a good place to grab something and a space to work or chill. Great people making drinks taking your order and helping you break free from ordinary cus life's better when you're different, and when the world looks down on different you feel at home at black sheep coffee

Looking around spontaneously for a coffee shop and bump into thee. They have a lot of good options, iced and hot. I got a 20z Matcha latte with lavender syrup. It was tasteful ... 4/5 Service was wonderful, the girls were sweet.

This lil coffee shop is in the heart of downtown Glendale and I had no idea? Wow!! Such a cute cafe with homey vibes and amazing staff! You feel welcomed as soon as you walk in and the menu seems to change often based on the baristas choices! How fun to be creative with the drinks. So far I've really enjoyed all of Jazz's creations like the Mexican Mocha Latte and Horchata Latte. The valentines menu was by far a favorite of mine! Strawberry matcha was delicioso!! For food I have only tried the chicken pesto panini press. Amazingly good and definitely ask for the chipotle side if you order this. I've been lucky to park in the spots near the entrance, I'm not certain if there is extra in the back. Found a new go to cafe for whenever I'm in Glendale. P.S the music is always poppin lol

What a special restaurant in downtown Glendale, AZ! Angel and the other workers were delightful…read more They were friendly, helpful and professional! My friend and I went in this adorable shop because I was thirsty and wound up having lunch there. The sandwiches were delicious and my turkey had a generous portion of turkey on it. The lemonade and Palmer were yummy. I took home some cookies and they were scrumptious! I live 25 miles away but will be making a special trip to Coyote Oaties when I'm west of I-17.

Great music playing in the background set the mood, songs like Knock Three Times and Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond. The lady who helped me place my order, possibly the owner, was so sweet. Patient too, as I made my selections. It was hard to choose what to get as the shop has so many appetizing sweet and savory options on the menu. I ended up getting a chocolate milkshake and a 6-pack of oatmeal cookies, including chocolate chip (no nuts), chocolate walnut, peanut butter dark chocolate cashew, dark chocolate pecan, dark chocolate cashew, and oatmeal raisin with pecans (they have a nut-free version too). The taste of everything was phenomenal. The shake had the perfect consistency and a strong chocolatey flavor, yet wasn't too sweet. And the cookies were nice and chewy and loaded with delicious chunks of nuts and chocolate. Honestly, I couldn't really tell the difference between the nut and chocolate combo flavors as the oatmeal was really the highlight. The peanut butter one and oatmeal raisin were more recognizable. ALL of them were amazing!

I recently had to be in the downtown Glendale area - the Yelp machine recommended I hit up Blue Corn Cafe. There's some development / construction in the downtown area so parking is a little limited. However - I was able to snag a spot right along 58th Ave and get a good view of all the cute shops to check out at a later date. Blue Corn was surprisingly busy that morning due to hosting a Coffee with Cops event. I got the low down from a few of the GPD staff that they are consistently rated as one of the best cafes in the city, maybe even the West Valley. They have recently-ish opened up a second location in DT Mesa, which definitely fits their vibe. I was told the owner gets up early every day to bake - I love the dedication to his craft. Like many mom and pops, there are times when quantities are limited. So ofc I had to buy some baked goods to go for my work team! Their muffins are HUGE - like 2 -3 servings per *singular* muffin. I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought 6... hello carb heaven for us. I noticed a lot of sweet and savory options - croissant sandwiches, cookies, you name it. Definitely the muffins were well-enjoyed by all (PSL, lemon-blueberry, red velvet), and the general consensus was lemon blueberry as the winner. It's a small space with not a lot of seating options however there appears to be a back patio that might be shared with other restaurants. I couldn't get a view on my way out. Cannot wait for the next time that I'm in the area to grab more sweets!
