King Coffee
1020 S Mill Ave, Tempe, AZ
Crema's Take
“This Tempe gem has mastered the art of matcha and ube drinks with genuine expertise that draws praise from travelers familiar with East Asian coffee culture, making it a rare specialty find beyond typical café fare. The cozy, reliably excellent atmosphere attracts a steady crowd of nearby workers and students who appreciate both the solid coffee and thoughtfully crafted pastries, though the kitchen's execution is more consistent with their handheld items like paninis than their breakfast burritos. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that converts Starbucks regulars into loyal regulars through genuine care in both their drinks and their space.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Nice, reliable café near campus. The mocha latte is solid and tasty. It’s a cozy, well-established place with a great atmosphere. Clean restroom too, which is always a plus 👍
