Eden Tea & Coffee House — Restaurant in Tempe

Recently, my teammate and I decided to meet up at this spot for a team meeting, hoping for a good experience. The place had a great vibe, with a nice atmosphere that we thought would be perfect for getting some work done. However, things quickly took a turn when my friend was greeted with a disapproving, almost condemning look from one of the baristas. It was clear she wasn’t too welcoming, and it made him visibly uncomfortable. I was right next to him, and I could feel the tension too. We seriously considered leaving, but our other teammate was already waiting for us in one of the rooms at the back.

I’ve heard mixed things about this place before. Another customer shared her experience, saying that when she spoke to the same barista, Amie Pierone, the barista just turned around and acted like she didn’t hear her, leaving the customer standing there stunned. Another guest had to wait an unnecessarily long time just for a simple black coffee. It’s a shame, because the environment is nice, but that one person definitely leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Regular here. I brought my coffee-enthusiast friend and he was very impressed by the quality of the brew: the owners are very skilled baristas.

Pretty much everything is locally-sourced, actually: what pastries they don't make come from a local producer, their coffee is roasted locally, and their amazing tea selection is supplied by a local blender of teas (there are some excellent and unique blends in their repertoire, plus caffeine-free options for those avoiding it). The shop is located inside a century-old house, and the décor reflects this nicely, leaning toward a domestic and natural angle. To round everything off, the music playing in the background is hand-selected by the owners and succeeds in maintaining a good atmosphere for conversation and study, without ever getting distracting. An excellent spot for anyone wanting to...

Saw a story on my friend's snapchat and immediately needed to know where this place was! It was near summer break, so I couldn't go then... but worth the wait! I love this coffee and tea house and every element of it with all my heart 🥺 The coffee and tea here are absolutely delicious (I love ocean chai latte hehe), and the food options are quite the deal! Not to mention the environment and arrangement being super calming and soothing! The staff members are so so lovely to chat with- I find it absolutely admirable thay they take the time to chat with each individual and give everyone a sense of belonging! They make sure everyone is loved and cared...
