Pair Cupworks - Mesa — Restaurant in Mesa

If you appreciate true artisan coffee made by people who take pride and joy in their craft, this is the coffee for you. But if you're like me and want to be able to sit and sip that coffee in an actual mug, and enjoy it with a good book or a friend...this is not the vibe....or maybe wait until it cools off and you can go out on the patio?

No knock to Cider Corps, it's a bar and I get that. But I do wish Pair would move out of the small dark corner tucked in the back between the storage area and the pizza place, and finally move into their own digs. I always feel awkward going in there to order coffee, there is no good place to stand and wait for your order without being in the way and the tables are usually full during the only time I can go on the weekends.

Maybe it's a me problem, and maybe this is just their business model, but I feel that coffee of this caliber deserves it's own spot for all to enjoy and feel comfortable...

Paircup is the custom coffee/tea boutique in the Valley. Run by a humble but expert barista/owner Kimhak in the shared location on South Robson with Cider Corps, this coffee/tea experience is not an ad hoc mashup, but a gracious liquid learning room where new tastes are always ready to greet you.

My son brought me to paircup to hang out and I've returned 4 times to enjoy Kimhak's creations. I love tea, but know very little about boutique brews. I've learned a lot visiting here. My son enjoys both coffee pours and teas, so he often has both and we sit and chat. If you love expert boutique coffees and/or insightful steeps of tea, you must visit Paircup.

Not to be too corny, the room is spacious and the attitude is gracious. You feel like you could linger all morning just talking with a friend or reading a book, all while enjoying the wisdom of expert pours and brews.

I do not live in the area, but I love to order coffee beans from Pair Cupworks to the state I life in. I started last year with a coffee subscription to figure out what roasts/flavors I liked, and since then have placed larger orders of different roasts.

I can confidently say that this coffee shop values ALL of its customers, no matter where they are located. They take great care in packing their shipments and communicating about the status of all orders. Service has always been top notch, and I love that they keep you informed of the roasting process so you know your order is FRESH!

As a bonus, the artwork is so cute and fun, and the descriptions of the beans is great for learning about your personal preference of coffee! I hope to visit in person one day, but until then, I will continue to order my coffee...
