Gold Bar Espresso
3141 S McClintock Dr, Tempe, AZ
Crema's Take
“This beloved Tempe institution has been perfecting the art of espresso for decades with an authentically Italian approach to coffee craft that keeps locals coming back for over a decade. Their iced vanilla latte is legendary for good reason, and the team of genuinely warm baristas creates an intimate, study-friendly sanctuary across small cozy rooms where you'll find the kind of quiet focus that specialty coffee shops are meant to provide. It's the kind of unpretentious, family-owned spot where the coffee is smooth and balanced, the matcha is real deal, and the vibe feels like a well-kept secret worth sharing with the people you care about.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

Excellent OG espresso and coffee in Tempe. Have been killing it for decades. Their iced vanilla latte is hard if not impossible to beat. Great service! Quiet spot usually for studying or catching up or just exhaling.

Nice coffee shop with a lot of potential. Comfortable seating in small rooms. The food I bought was not fresh and needed to be microwaved. Coffee was decent. There is no bathroom for guests.
Went here out of the blue and it's a small little family owned coffee shop, I got the mocha espresso and it was fantastic and taste was perfect, not too sweet and not too bitter. Lots of unique drink options and ultimately a breath of fresh air compared to Dutch bros or…
