Very inviting and friendly staff here. I was greeted quickly and assisted immediately at the register. While the drive thru was busy, the staff kept their composure and service remained great! The interior was modern, clean, and filled with seating. The pastries were displayed in a nice case near the register. I picked out two drinks, which I enjoyed tremendously. Those being the rocky mountain (blended) and a tea/lemonade blend of an iced beverage. I will continue to return! read more

I'm fairly plain anytime I get coffee- iced (americano or cold brew) with a little cream and sugarfree flavor #watchmymacros so I feel like I can tell when/if coffee is absolute crap. This isn't the case with Top Fuel. If it wasn't for my random weekend hiking adventures during the pandemic, I wouldn't have found Top Fuel-- the Sunday in particular I ended up hiking in Lost Dutchman and took my sweet time post-hike wandering thru AJ for some local brew. #supportlocal The Superstition Ranch Market where you'll find Top Fuel is a bit off the beaten path IMO. If you're concerned about interacting with/being around people during covid, you're in luck since Top Fuel is at the entrance of the market, off to the right. Prices are a little cheaper than what I normally pay for iced coffee (yaaas!). They also have some cafe snack/food options. Definitely a smooth and strong brew they make (levels above Starbs or Dunkin). I was sad AJ didn't get a larger size- do not pass them up if you're passing thru or stopping in AJ! read more

I did not know this existed and I was driving by and decided to stop by to try the coffee and it's the best coffee I've had compared to anywhere else in my opinion. If that's not already persuasive enough for anyone , the workers here are all FANTASTIC, very sweet, they care , they have regulars come in and they remember their orders and get happy to see them and chat with them while still working and being professional. Just anyone who walks through the door they will welcome them and get to know you. I've seen them in a busy time in the morning and it was super overwhelming HOWEVER they were all so positive still and just had the best attitude about it. I feel so comfortable here the atmosphere is phenomenal. This is my only go to coffee spot now and I won't change that due to the staff mainly and of course ; the coffee read more

Only stopped here twice but both times were great! Super friendly staff, a really good story behind the shop, and both coffees I got were delicious. I've tried a hot light pacific (a skinny caramel macchiato) and an iced candy cane mocha (seasonal). The light pacific didn't have the usual sugar free after taste, and was just perfectly sweet and caramel-y. The candy cane mocha was a great balance of chocolate and peppermint. If you have a chance to stop at Top Fuel for a great cup of joe and to support a small business, definitely take it! read more

I was in the area with my daughter and I needed a pick-me-up! I almost drove right by this place but Google alerted me of its location. I saw espresso in the name so I flipped-a-beeesh and went back. As always I order the largest, black, iced coffee with NO sugar or sweetener. I like my coffee dark, rich and bold... like me!! Jajajajajajaja, anyhow, my daughter wanted something sweet and chocolaty and the young lady recommended a chocolate muffin. It did not disappoint. Thanks y'all for being here.

everything we got was pretty good. we arrived there and had many questions and the barista happily answered it despite the rush that had come in. we ended up getting an iced latte with oat milk, brown sugar syrup and white mocha sauce, we got the avocado toast (1 slice), which personally, i thought it should've been toasted a little longer and had another toast for the price. it was very good tho. then we got the ciabatta bread w pepper jack, egg and bacon. that was FIRE. my only suggestion is to add some kind of sauce bc it is a little dry. excellent location and service read more

In order to leave a comment I have to give this horrible establishment a star . First of all I called to let them know the coffee I ordered was nasty and the young girl on the phone was nice enough to say let me get my manager . So I get a manager named Jessica ...... I tell her how I didn't like my coffee and she said " I tried it before and it's not nasty ." I'm telling you it wasn't to par. She gave me a refund and said you're arguing over 5$ as I was driving off this MANAGER said I should put a shirt on? Please tell me this is not how you treat customers ??? Put my shirt on ? Are you my mother ? Who are you to tell me to put my shirt on? I would like a GM or owner to reach out to me in regards to this matter . The time she said it hopefully y'all have cameras was at 3:00 - 3:05 . She shouldn't have a management position . I run 6 studios nationwide and if I had one of my managers speak to any customer like that I guarantee you they won't have a job. Put a shirt on ? Why are you looking at how I'm dressed Jessica ?????? She honestly made me feel low and gave me anxiety . I'm gonna look into getting a lawyer she violated me and was looking at my chest . Wow . You're a perverted women . Thanks for looking at me as if I was trash . Not only you argued about how I felt about the coffee , mind you never argue with a customer and say I had it and it's really good . Well that's your tastebuds not mine . I told her where my lucky charms or is that just in the pic ? She ignored me . I don't even care about the coffee the fact that SHE SAID PUT A SHIRT ON? I didn't know we were in a Muslim country and I have to cover up . Are you gonna pay my urgent care bill for the anxiety you caused me by telling me to put a shirt on ? Why are you even looking at my chest and not my mouth that's speaking to you ? read more

Top Fuel is located inside the Superstition Ranch Market. It is a family-owned coffee bar, with all the offerings of the "big guys". The lady that runs/owns it is the nicest person ever. She is genuinely thankful for your business, and strives to be certain that your drink is all you would like it to be. The area is clean and modern. My iced almond milk chai was the best I have tasted in my life. No exaggeration, the ingredients were quality. The ice was a small grain, which helped to make your beverage colder, faster. The flavor of the chai was rich, with just enough spice, though not to overwhelm. The almond milk was creamy and fresh. I will definitely be back to Top Fuel, and look forward to an expansion! read more

My smoothie was $16 for reference, and that's with no modifications or add ons. And let me clarify that when I say healthy, it was still delicious. Their menu is so detailed and includes so many fun and different variations of smoothies that you've probably never even thought of. Not to mention, all of the smoothies we got were so colorful and fun! They also have some fun little protein treats and some other options like smoothie bowls as well. Will definitely be back, likely by myself when I want to treat myself or with a group of girls. I will not be taking my husband here as I can already see him rolling his eyes at the prices when he gets a smoothie that is not as sweet as his Jamba Juice but that right there should tell you quite a bit about the smoothies.

My weight tends to go up and down because of my job. I work different hours, and my body gets so confused when it's time for me to eat because of the time changes, and lack of sleep. The last straw for me was when my doctor said that I have high blood pressure, and need to to make some lifestyle changes. I have heard of Herbalife from a co-worker but have never tried it because of the cost. I didn't want to make a commitment to getting an MLM subscription, so when I discovered that this business has a Smoothie Bar. I decided to give it a try! You can get a $5 Smoothie here with Herbalife powder that can be made to order on the spot, so you don't have to sign up if you can't afford to. I think it was $200 something dollars a month for two containers of protein powder with the flavored shake, but it's more economical if you get that 30 day supply instead of forking $10 every day (You're supposed to drink it twice a day, so $5 a shake). I'm so bad at making a protein shake at home and tend to add other things there such as berries, chia seeds, apples and all kinds of healthy crap in there. So I tend to go too overboard which adds more calories to the shake, so I usually just go to a franchised smoothie or juice bar. The problem is some of them tend to have more sugar and calories. Yes. The struggle is real. I finally found a place that only has 250 calories, and the owner only adds water and ice which is better for you. The best part is it's so close to my house! Nutrition Boutique is now my go-to place for the protein shake in the morning before my workout. Don't forget to get a Specialty Punch Card! Purchase 6 Specialty Smoothies & Tea, and get one free!

It was 8:30am when I arrived and I noticed the chalkboard in the window with "Business hours: 9-6." All of the lights were off but I noticed a worker inside. I decided to try my luck and went to open the door. The worker greeted me as she finished counting the cash drawer. I was able to order my smoothie (Zeus Juice) and was in and out within 5 minutes! They've made the switch to plastic cups (from styrofoam). The smoothie was blended well and there were no chunks of ice/fruit. I went back the following Monday for another smoothie, this time around 8:40am. This time all of the lights were on and the same worker greeted me. Again, I was in and out in a breeze! Not sure if the worker was being accommodating by taking my order before 9am or their business hours need updating but either way, kudos to the sweet worker!

I needed a protein smoothie, found this place by my work. They have a decent size selection. I…read morewent for the "get up and go" I think was the name. And I ordered a medium size. The medium size is huge! And it was $8, which is quite cheap. I enjoyed the flavor of the smoothie as well. The inside was kept clean, and there are codes for the restrooms, which is understandable given the area. Nice place to try, and very affordable!

Absolutely obsessed with this bookstore café. It has everything I'm looking for in a study spot!…read moreThere's plenty of space to study both inside and outdoors on the patio, which makes it super easy to settle in for a productive session (or stay way longer than planned). The second you walk in, you're surrounded by a romance book-lover's dream. The ambiance feels like stepping into a cozy Hogwarts library. It's warm, magical, and the perfect place to get lost in a book. There is also a vintage-style Photo Booth that will print out two photo strips for $5! I also love the story behind this place starting online and growing into a physical bookstore that now carries such a fun variety of books, plus the cutest hip and trendy merch (hats, book pins, shirts, and more). The coffee is good, and their menu is surprisingly extensive. I ordered the cookie butter latte and was genuinely impressed by both the size and the taste. On top of all that, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Whether you're looking to study, find community, or just yap with fellow book lovers, this is such a fun and inviting space!

I've been here a couple times but never got the drinks. I think the setting is amazing. So fun to…read morecome with friends or on your own and sit at the bar area or inside/outside. Lots of seating. I ordered a chai and they use a spiced mix. It's good not the normal Maya chai you see at most coffee shops. They also have energy drinks so I'd say this is a typical "quick" coffee shop style where you shouldn't expect in house flavors being made or anything and very sweet drinks (which I love). I got an almond croissant which was delicious. They get their pastries from the Gadsby Bakery I believe. They're so good. The service was so friendly and we got our drinks so quick!

Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant

Tried Cooper's Hawk for the first time and I didn't realize there was a huge wine bar/tasting bar…read morewhen you first walk in with some retail items. It was about 5:30 PM on a Wednesday and the place was Poppin! The bar was completely full and it was loud!. We did not have a reservation and the only open seating was at the bar or high tops in the bar area. We were quickly greeted and our server was incredibly on top of it! I noticed that the main menu had a line at the bottom that stated a gluten-free menu would be available upon request. I did ask to see this menu as gluten-free is my dietary preference, not an allergyand I was brought a complementary gluten-free bun instead of the pretzel bread. I thanked our server and told him not to worry that it was just a preference and he told me that he treats all gluten friendly requests as an allergy. I really appreciated the care and concern he had for my health and well-being. This is unprecedented at most restaurants. They had a very extensive gluten-free menu and I can't wait to go back and try so many more items. We did try the Leonard burger and made quite a few modification requests - all of which were 100% accommodated. This burger was so incredibly juicy! My entire hand was dripping by the time I got done eating it. Everything else we tried was delicious. I have no complaints or suggestions for improvement and will definitely be returning soon!

Coffee Rush

After a rough night, my eyes couldn't stay open at 11am. I needed a caffeine pick me up. I searched…read morefor a coffee shop nearby and I found Coffee Rush. I was expecting a small coffee shop. I was pleasantly surprised with how big it is. It's a proper cafe with 5-10 tables, each for 2 people. Plenty of space, so no knocking elbows with their neighbor. The music wasn't distracting and I saw a few people working on their laptops. There were some periodicals. It gives old school cafe vibes where people sit and enjoy a coffee with a friend. The barista was friendly and eager to engage in conversation. We talked about the calming ritual of making coffee for a few minutes. They offer an extensive coffee and drink menu, and they have a lot of pastries to pair with your coffee. I ordered a skinny vanilla latte. It was delicious!

I drive 15 minutes out of my way to support this coffee shop because I believe in what Yani has…read morebuilt and want to continue supporting it. That said, today's experience (Sunday) was unacceptable. The staff member working was rude, dismissive, and gave the clear impression she did not want to be there. The interaction felt uncomfortable and completely out of line with basic customer service expectations. This is not a small issue--it directly impacts the customer experience and the reputation of the business. This needs to be addressed, whether through retraining or reconsidering staffing. I will continue to support the shop because I value it, but experiences like this make it difficult. I hope this is taken seriously and corrected.

Sal's Gilbert Pizza

Best pizza in the Valley by far!! My husband (from New Jersey) has said multiple times that Sal's…read morehas the only pizza in Phoenix that's good - he has high standards, but I agree with him that the best pizza is at Sal's. He usually gets a plain pie (pizza with cheese), which he says is great, and I have had several different kinds of pizza during our visits to Sal's and each one has been amazing - plus, they have garlic powder at each of the tables. The calamari and tiramisu are also fantastic!! The service is always great - our servers are consistently friendly and helpful. The place is super cute and homey and can accommodate both big and small parties. It's a good thing that Sal's is 20 minutes from us, or else we would probably be here at least 3 times a week, something that would do considerable damage to both of our waistlines.

I've been hearing this is the best in the E Valley. I cannot agree more!!!…read more I tried what most call a "tomato pie." Sal's calls it upside down pie. Sicilian style. Either way, it was an amazing slice! I typically add some grated parm, Italian seasoning and black pepper, (They have them), this pie needed nothing!!! 8.5 rating. Portnoy scale. Which means excellent!!! The other slice was a Neopolitan cheese slice. With added basil. I love good basil pie. Again, fantastic!!! Scored 8.5. I'll go back and try some Italian foods as everything coming out of the kitchen looking non nom nom!!!

The Coffee Shop

Just make sure to get there early, because they do sell out of the popular flavors. It's the perfect little outing too grab a cupcake and take a stroll through the beautiful Agritopia gardens.

The convenient Agritopia location is beautiful and central. I typically order an iced chai latte (which tastes like Xmas in a cup :-) A chai latte is not my typical order at other coffee/ tea shops, but I've never been a fan of the espresso here. The ingredients (matcha/ syrups, etc.) from what I can tell are not 'high quality' but most of the drinks I've tried are still delicious! They offer a full brekky and lunch menu as well as a grand pastry case. I highly recommend the Coffee Shop! :-)

I'm a huge fan of Better Buzz!…read more They have the best matcha lattes I've found anywhere. I always substitute almond milk and get it 75% sweet and it's absolutely perfect! One thing that I've noticed about Better Buzz is that they rarely make a mistake - their consistency is important... and appreciated! This Gilbert location has tons of available comfortable seats, which is great when you're looking for a place to sit and get some work done! I always order ahead, so I don't have too many interactions with the baristas... but of those I have had, they're friendly and helpful! *****FIVE STARS*****
