Buddha's Brew Coffee Cafe — Restaurant in Mesa

Ordered the vegan frittata to go. Got chicken eggs. Gross. Kinda ruined my day. I have OCD and haven't eaten eggs on 13 years. I literally only ordered from this place because they have plant based eggs. I ordered the vegan frittata, on GrubHub, so it wasn't even a miscommunication. Saturday, Feb 27, approx 8:10AM. Also, I ordered GrubHub, because I had somewhere to go. So I got there, 5-10 minutes after I received the "your order is ready" text, my order was not ready. The food (wrong order) was. But the drink wasn't. Barista is chilling in there, no customers, sitting on the couch on her phone. Says she will make the coffee, give her a few minutes, I declined and took the food to go to get to my tournament, I was already 4 minutes behind schedule. If I had a few minutes and was having a leisurely morning (as I did Thursday, where I ordered there, and chilled and read my book for 45 minutes), I would have ordered there and not payed extra for feed and pick up fees. What do you think that option is for? If people wanted their stuff prepared on arrival, they would order on arrival and pay $3 less for a latte with no fees. I payed for the convenience to grab and go, and got sick and anxious. I am not even mad about the coffee, I had an yerba mate in my car, but it should be noted. But I am so upset about the eggs. That could...

Buddha's Brew Coffee Cafe is a gem!

I’m so glad I stopped by. The 5-star reviews and photos initially caught my attention, and they were spot on! The cafe is incredibly clean, with a relaxed, zen atmosphere that flows from the beautiful furniture and artwork to the soft lighting.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a smiling and super friendly staff. The welcoming energy made me feel right at home. As someone who loves breakfast for dinner, I was thrilled to see that they serve breakfast all day! On top of that, they have fantastic vegan and plant-based options, which is perfect since I don’t eat meat or dairy.

I ordered their Buddha Tot Breakfast Bowl, which was absolutely delicious, and a hot Lavender Honey Latte that was made to perfection. Both were incredibly flavorful, and I savored every bite and sip!

As a new small business owner in the area, I also appreciated their support when I asked if I could leave some of my business cards—they were so kind and accommodating.

If you’re looking for a cozy, welcoming spot with amazing food, excellent coffee, and great vibes, I highly recommend stopping by Buddha's Brew Coffee Cafe. They truly deserve their...

I have been here twice and both times they haven't honored my dietary restrictions. The first time I ordered a hemp milk chai and vegan breakfast bowl. They originally wanted to give me earl grey tea with Cinnamon, before deciding on using chai syrup. It was good! Not my #1 chai, but good! They gave me the non-vegan breakfast bowl though.

The second time, I had someone bring me back food. I ordered a soy chai and a vegan quesadilla. The quesadilla was vegan, but I ended up with an iced coffee with regular milk. I don't like coffee.

More important, I am dairy free because it makes me very sick. So I was super excited to see a place with so many dairy-free options. Unfortunately, both times I was served dairy, and both times I got sick because of it. It is so important to respect a person's dietary choices because there is no way of knowing if it's an allergy or a preference. I do feel like this was just them not fully paying attention to customer orders, so hopefully this feedback will help them grow and do better in the future.

I will say the food is really good when it isn't...
