Tres Leches Café

Crema's Take

This Phoenix gem masterfully blends specialty coffee craft with authentic Mexican pastries, creating a unique third-place experience where regulars rave about both the carefully crafted drinks and housemade pan dulce like their standout pumpkin empanadas. The genuine warmth of staff members like Ashley and Ramón shines through consistently in reviews, turning casual coffee runs into moments of real human connection that keep customers coming back despite the cozy (if occasionally cramped) seating. Whether you're lingering over a creative specialty drink or grabbing something quick at their drive-thru location, Tres Leches strikes that rare balance between serious coffee culture and the comfort of traditional Mexican treats.

I wish there was more seating. But great delicious tasting coffee and Mexican treats! I am not all familiar with their treats and I have to research which pastry I want. I love happy hour and loyalty program!!

I’m a regular customer at Tres Leches Café, and I have to say that Ashley is an outstanding store manager. Every time I come in, she greets me with genuine warmth and professionalism that makes the experience feel personal. She keeps the place running smoothly, the atmosphere welcoming, and the customer service top-tier. Ashley always goes above and beyond—whether it’s remembering my usual order, making sure everything is perfect, or simply creating a positive vibe in the café. You can tell she truly cares about her customers and her team. Tres Leches Café is already a great spot, but Ashley makes it even better. Highly recommend stopping by and experiencing her excellent service!

My husband and I always stop at Tres Leches Cafe when we visit family from PHX. We usually spend a lot because we truly enjoy the drinks and the pan dulce. Unfortunately, the customer service this morning was disappointing. The girls working kept slinging the food extremely hard, and when I was speaking with the girl at the register to confirm our drinks were iced, she ignored me. I know everyone can have an off day, and every other time we have visited the service has been excellent. I hope next time is back to the warm experience we are used to.

Always a good time, love to drop by when I can especially since the other location closed. Always delicious drinks, I love all of their empanadas, the pumpkin empanadas especially, but sometimes (maybe one in every 5 times) the filling of the pumpkin ones specifically tastes so chemical-y I can't finish them. The horchata and refrescas make up for it tho. I also love when they have the little plush keychains (very rare)

Ramón was super friendly and gave me a free concha I almost didn’t try but it was delicious! Great service and super convenient since it’s drive-thru only. You must stop by and try this place if you haven’t!
