Coffee48 — Restaurant in Tempe

It's a small business with minimal seating - more of a grab and go. Bring cash to avoid cc fee. $6-7. Also expect late openings on the weekend (10am)

The lattes and Vietnamese coffee is phenomenal! It's unique and very pleasant to drink, and has a thickness/creaminess that I love. I've gone three days in a row now and I've liked every single thing...

I will say it's a bit difficult to know what to order based on photos alone, so I wish they had a menu that was more descriptive since most coffee shops don't add condensed milk or other ingredients they do here - which although I personally love, I can see someone being surprised, so a few line items per drink or a booklet with descriptions like you see at fancy cocktail places would be awesome!

I'm also not sure if they offer hot coffee which is not a problem for me but just fyi (should be confirmed).

Barista is kind and patient, and prices I would say are fair in comparison to other coffee shops.

The last thing are hours of operation. Of course a perk of owning your own business is doing what you want, but I can't get a coffee before work due to 830am opening time, and on the weekend im having to wait 3-4 hours for coffee when I'm used to drinking it within the first hour of waking up so I'm always torn on whether to wait, get coffee elsewhere of make coffee at home. I wish they were open sooner so I could drink it more!

Well...

First: the store was CLEAN. Not a space where you can sit in, but both sides of the counter looked very well-kept from what I could see. The service was amazing. I went in to order a Vietnamese coffee, as it was one of the few things on the menu I was familiar with. I was excited to try theirs, but the (very kind) woman who took my order helped me to better understand some of the options I was unfamiliar with. I ended up ordering the "young rice coffee" instead. The staff were all very kind and helped me with any questions I had. The drink itself was also phenomenal. The espresso was rich and smooth. The visual appeal of the coffee was beautiful, and it was clear they'd taken their care with it. I ordered mine with an extra shot and it was still very sweet, so if you order it the way it comes normally it may be a little too sweet. However, the way I had it was perfect to me and I will definitely be returning. 10/10 for sure, the only coffee shop in the valley I would say is on-par...

I'm not sure what's going on, but this hasn't been tasting as good as the first one I had. The coffee taste is bitter 😕

I also tried the milk tea, and I think the sweetener they're using is not very good.

🫶 OVERALL REVIEW The coffee is great! They recommended the Salted Caramel, very delicious. It even has the foam topping they put at some tea places.

I'm excited to try some of their other items on the menu!

🏘 SURROUNDING AREA It's along Broadway Road, where you have a complex with some restaurants, market, and small flower shops. Their location is in one of the suites in a commercial building, so keep your eyes open when you pull into the area.

💺SEATING It's not the kind of place you go to read a book or meet a friend to chat. Plan on walking in and out to get your coffee - think of it as an elevated...
