Shibam Coffee of Tempe — Restaurant in Tempe

This coffee shop quickly became one of my favorites, and after three visits, I can confidently say it’s a gem. The owners’ passion for quality and attention to detail is evident in everything—from the hand-picked tiles imported from Spain to the cozy lighting that makes you feel at home. As a Mexican American with mixed ancestry, I felt an immediate connection to the space, which blends cultures seamlessly, creating an atmosphere that truly welcomes everyone.

The drinks are where this place really shines. Each one is carefully crafted, from the Yemeni Shai with its aromatic spices to the rich, nutty Sicilian Pistachio Latte with Almond Milk. The Matcha Latte with Almond Milk offers the perfect balance of earthy and smooth, while the Toot Shami Mojito is a refreshing, minty twist you won’t find anywhere else. And the Spanish Latte—a tribute to one of the owners’ heritage—is a sweet, comforting indulgence that stays with you long after the last sip. The honeycomb is sourced locally and is made fresh, this does contain cheese.

While some of the drinks do take a little time to prepare—because great coffee deserves care—it’s absolutely worth the wait. The staff is friendly and always happy to advise you on what to order if you’re in a rush.

Whether you’re here for a relaxing chat, a cozy study spot, or just to enjoy one of the many delicious drinks, this place is a must-visit. Every detail makes it a welcoming,...

The menu included different types of coffee, unique from anything you'd get at a Starbucks, with delicious flavors and spices. My favorite was the Spanish coffee, the pistachio latte with honey cold foam, and the caramel milk cake. The natural flavors of date, pistachio, and honey were delicious and could be added to any coffee. The seating was comfortable with pillow arm rests at the booths and window seating with large windows bringing in light to the cafe. The baristas were very friendly and walked you through the menu, full service bringing your coffee and food to the table in glass cups and wood plates. I absolutely loved this cafe! Worth the drive down from Scottsdale. The parking is a tad difficult because of the...
