Lifeboat Coffee
536 E Dunlap Ave, Phoenix, AZ
Crema's Take
“Lifeboat Coffee is a genuine neighborhood gem where the owner's passion for single-origin coffees shines through genuine conversation at the espresso bar, creating the rare feeling of visiting a knowledgeable friend rather than a transaction. Their thoughtful approach to specialty drinks and pour overs, combined with an uncommonly welcoming atmosphere, makes it the kind of place where regulars become part of a tight-knit community rather than just customers passing through.”

John really went beyond the call of duty!!!!! I called and asked what the status of my shipment was and I told him that I brewed my last pot that morning and I was completely out. He asked me what my address was and I sent it to him and he personally delivered it to my mailbox!!!!!! That is amazing!!! Thank you 😊
Owner/roaster was extremely friendly and conversational. It's nice to sit at a bar and have a real conversation with a business owner from time to time. Had the Chiapas and the El Salvador single origins as pour over. Both were solid. Traditional vibe roasts with a little character popping through on each! Definitely the roaster for a traditional drinker or ones interested in getting a little more character out of their cup without going full send on Third Wave roasts. The baked goods look delicious and we are planning to go back to get a MASSIVE breakfast burrito!
Great place! Very friendly atmosphere that makes you feel like you are at a friends...and the food and coffee are better than the rest!! Hands down!! Be sure to check for specials because they occasionally have one day only specials like I had the other day...see picture Two eggs cheese breakfast potatoes slices of filet mignon across the top doused with Sunnyslope sauce....yummy yummy!!
Unbelievably nice owner. We went in for some coffee and started talking to the owner. He was very kind and knowledgeable on various coffees from around the world. Owner was able to help my wife pick out an amazing bag of beans to take home. We ordered the breakfast burrito and the calzone and it was out of this world. Some of the best breakfast we have ever had. Everything is homemade and we watched them rolling the dough in the back. Amazing coffee, food and staff. Don’t walk, run to this coffee shop!!
Lifeboat Coffee Co. is a quaint little mom and pop shop that’s definitely worth visiting. I go here all the time and it’s got a great feel to it. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable - it almost feels like someone’s living room (in a good way!). They serve more than just coffee too! I usually get a blended rebel and they’re delicious!
