Crema's Take
“Brick Road Coffee is an espresso-focused haven where the skilled baristas craft both traditional and inventive signature drinks that keep regulars coming back, all while partnering with a local bakery to serve treats that pair perfectly with your cup. Beyond great coffee, this spot thrives as a genuine community gathering place—equally suited for solo work sessions, friend meetups, or larger events—with thoughtfully varied seating that makes everyone feel welcome.”

This is my favorite place to get work done! The coffee is always delicious and they partner with a local bakery for their treats! On top of their wonderful coffee shop experience, they are also very active in the community and host monthly LGBTQ+ events. A wonderful safe place. One of my favorite memories was hearing a person in front of me in line use their preferred name for the first time when ordering for themself. I also love that they have a mini library that highlights queer stories. My only complaint is that it can be hard to find a spot to sit but they do offer outdoor seating.
I’ve been supporting the awesome team at Brick Road Coffee for many years through events, just meeting friends and having coffee and snacks. They have a table size and style for any occasion including the patio. Their pastries are delicious and they always have good coffee. They are a local, neighborhood great who stand up for the little person and I love them. Thank you Brick Road Coffee!
I LOVE Brick Road Coffee! I love the wide selection of drinks, the variety of treats & the use of the space for community events. I always try their current drink special and I’m never disappointed. I highly recommend both locations if you are looking for a beautiful safe space to relax in, or a space to enjoy & build community. The owners and staff are always welcoming. I will always choose Brick Road when I’m in the area.
BEST COFFEE IN TEMPE! I visited Brick Road Coffee because I heard amazing things on Yelp and beyond. The coffee and pastries are exceptional, everything is expertly crafted and well-made. From the wide selection of lattes, I picked Brick Road's Iced Spiced Brown Sugar Shaken Latte, it was perfect, I paired it with a vegan pastry made with brown sugar (I asked for it warm), I melted when I ate it! The pastries are the right amount of sweet. Service was excellent, the baristas are so friendly and welcoming! It's rare to find such polite and helpful staff. They greeted us with a smile and made everyone feel at home. I love the inclusive atmosphere and incredible art on the walls! The merch (tees, stickers), books, and family feel created a comfortable environment where I could imagine myself chilling with a book and just resting. There's tables inside and out, I opted to sit outside so I can enjoy the cool winter day. Next time, I plan to eat inside so can enjoy the gentle lighting and incredible coffee aroma. The Wizard of Oz vibes are strong, I appreciate the pop culture references. Thank YOU Brick Road! Note: Brick Road also sells their coffee grounds in individual packages above their merch.
I loved their vegan gluten-free goodies, so good! The coffee cake, the brownies, banana bread with chocolate chips, oh man, I had a sugar blues coma but it was worth it. The matcha tea with coconut milk was nice as well.
