🌵Andrew Kolikoff🌵September 24, 2014Converted and renovated old gas station to a coffee lounge. Hip and cozy inside beautiful outside w/ waterfall in the garden. Oh! And, the coffee is soooo good. 😉
- 🌵Andrew Kolikoff🌵September 24, 2014Convert old gas staton to coffee lounge. Hip and cozy inside, quite beautiful outside with all the plantings and water fountain. Oh! And, love the coffee too! 😉
Marisa LownOctober 29, 2016Unconventional drive thru; you drive over a gas station "door bell rope" and a barista comes out to your car. Bonus? Free pastry on your first visit!
While they don't sling the absolute best espresso in the city, this place is full of happy people drinking coffee that beats the socks off Starbucks. Come in once and feel like a regular.
Erik RowleySeptember 19, 2022Mention the name Donald Trump, and the look on the barista’s face will heat your latte to exactly the perfect temperature.

JABRIL YOUSEFDecember 31, 2022Top-notch neighborhood cafe complete with strong coffee, hot tea and strange characters. Only knock: last two times i’ve been there the internet has been down.
Totally chill environment, open late which is great for study sessions. They have vegan and gluten free food options as well. Oh, and great coffee!- Phoenix New TimesJanuary 25, 2012Best of Phoenix Winner 2011: Best Coffee House, Central Phoenix. Try some delicious brews from frozen treats like green tea smoothies and blended chocolate mochas to Americanos and chai lattes. Read more
Jon HernandezAugust 18, 2014Nice place! It's has a very rustic, hole in the wall kind of feel. Staff was very friendly also. Try the Peppermint Americano!- 🌵Andrew Kolikoff🌵August 29, 2014Converted OLD gas station into a true Phoenix gem. Great place to work, relax and sit outside. Oh, and the java... Yum!
Sensewhen.com Shawn ClarkDecember 27, 2010Typical coffee options pair nicely with the homemade baked goodness. Copper Star also offers a variety of lunch options, including smoothies, and the tasty lemon sesame Ginger tuna salad sandwich.
I love this place! The coffee is amazing, and the atmosphere is wonderful. The staff is so friendly too!
I'm not a vegan but the vegan muffins are delish! Less sweet and real fruit. Blackberry coconut is my fave.- The friendliest and most welcoming staff in Phoenix. Stop in and hang out. You'll feel like a regular on your first visit.
graphicologyMarch 23, 2014First time here. Gave me a card and a free muffin... Just to introduce themselves. Got an iced Cubano. Good stuff in an old gas station.
One of the better lattes I've had. Cousin's kids also love their cocoa.
Stop in and give the new menu a try...vegan sandwich items recently added!!!
Nuts: cranberry walnut scone (flakey, butter & heavy cream); banana walnut bread (nice crunchy crust). Neither are doughy.
If you fall in love with a girl who makes you laugh, tell her. Also the iced coffee is amazing here.
Almond milk latte is THE BEST in the city. And Bill's a great guy, too!
Seth GoodmanFebruary 10, 2013Nice selection of background music. You don't get 30 great songs in a row by accident.
Bret ThompsettJanuary 27, 2013White chocolate raspberry muffins are the business, great coffees and great people!- Jan StevensMay 23, 2011Locally owned neighborhood cafe with sort of secret drive up service, and they are dog friendly!! It's a winner!!
They typically have live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Good people there!
Watchtower SupportJanuary 20, 2012Got to love little hole in the wall places . You will have to wait but it is worth it- Its nice when one of the 'regulars' lights up a cozy fire on the patio when it's 43' (!) outside.
If there are rice krispy treats eat one. Or many, pure deliciousness!
Beatrice FloresOctober 29, 2014I haven't been here yet but does anyone know if they have anything vegan?
Sara PetersSeptember 29, 2010best hummus ever!! Have to get the Hummus plate and the staff there is awesome! :)
Skip lunch and have the iced (or hot) dulce de leche!
