Andrew Swangler: Great peaceful escape from the grind of the city
Nancy Conk: It was a very relaxed atmosphere to sit and regain some peace, but please listen when they say stay on the paths...stop climbing on the waterfall to take pictures and selfies, very disrespectful
Desiree Gaston: Enjoy the peaceful, serene landscape with a stroll through the Japanese Garden. Attend a tea ceremony on the 3rd Sat of each month. The garden is closed from July through the beginning of Oct.
🌵Andrew Kolikoff🌵: Smaller, cozy, quiet and intimate. Beautiful downtown vibe. Chai latte unusually delicious.
Aaaa Bbbb: It is a tiny cute cafe with a nice view, a black cat and swing. A very pleasant quiet place to sit. The coffee is fine, but not the best in Phoenix.
kudlaone: Beautiful city view while studying, and relaxing modern environment to take in.

🌵Andrew Kolikoff🌵: Quiet, cozy spot in the heart of Ahwatukee. Homemade desserts (yes, they make them at home) made with love.
Mugdho Debnath: The iced mocha is really good. Has a far more delicate taste of chocolate than Starbucks with a strong expresso
Dan Sturm: Finally, I can stop wasting my time with Starbucks. Really glad this place is around.
