Bak & Jo Bakery and Coffee
2820 E University Dr, Mesa, AZ
Crema's Take
“Bak & Jo is a locally owned gem where exceptional technique meets genuine warmth—their matcha latte hits the precise milk-to-powder ratio that most places bungle, and their cold brew and cortados are equally smooth and thoughtful. Beyond the stellar coffee and specialty drinks, this is a true community gathering spot that welcomes families, groups, and solo coffee lovers alike, with a team that actually engages with guests and a rotating menu of banh mi, pastries, and macarons that elevates the whole experience.”

Some of the best matcha I've had since visiting Uji. Most places mess up the ratio of milk to powder in a matcha latte, but you absolutely get what you pay for here. I also loved the banh mi burrito, Thai tea, and macarons! Everything save for the baked stuff was made to order. I'll have to go back to try their pastries some time. The staff were very chill and welcoming, and the vibe was great inside with board games, a Christmas tree decorated with hand-drawn ornaments from customers, and plenty of seating (including a very comfortable couch). Great food and drinks paired with a great atmosphere, absolutely something Mesa has long needed.
What a wonderful coffee shop. I really enjoyed having a nice conversation with the barista she was so kind and helpful. I really enjoyed how smooth and delicious the coffee was also the vegan blueberry muffin and the breakfast burrito was great. I will definitely be back soon.
Friendly and attentive service, locally owned place that aims to please and has lots of options. Kid friendly too, my daughter’s and I decorated ornaments, had a bite to eat and they played some video games. Great after school spot. My favorite part is that they offer a gluten free option for burritos, a GF tortilla wrap & it’s delicious. My favorite filling for the bahn mi is the pork belly, but all options I’ve tried are good. Love the Vietnamese coffee with a splash of cream. There’s also many gluten free and vegan options in the bakery case from Sweet Simon. Love visiting regularly!
Fabulous food, drinks, and a wonderful low key place to hang out and play games. We got a cold brew, a Thai tea, a cortado, three bahn mi sandwiches, two pastries, and several macarons. The prices are wonderful and everything was incredible. The ingredients are top notch. Customer service was lovely. Atmosphere really pulls you into a community feel. We will be back to try more!
The manager or owner that was working today when our group visited was amazing!! Our group was a mom’s group and we had a lot of little kids with us. He spent time entertaining the kids with a ball of yarn, set up Mario Kart for them, & even held my 14 month old to give me a chance to sit down and visit the other ladies. The food was great, coffee was great, and the service was exponential. Thank you so much!!
