Xolo Coffee

This was a great find. The owners/staff are very helpful and friendly. I was made a surprise custom drink when they were out of my original order and it was a wonderful substitute. The coffee tastes evenly rich with the slightest bit of texture. Mine was preferably very sweet, like a churro mocha. It was near closing hours when I visited and other than the music and some chatter, it was quite empty and quiet. The seats are comfortable and the environment feels a little rough/edgy (lots of harsh corners) and masculine. I like the simplicity and intricate art on the walls, which gave me a little inspiration to make my own. The area is also adorned with Mexican heritage decorations. There were a number of flies inside but none of them bothered me as they stayed in the center area. Even though I'm not familiar with this part of town, I felt safe inside.

If you are looking for a great coffee shop in Phoenix, Xolo Coffee is among the best options in the area. When I arrived there shortly before they opened, I waited patiently for them to open. The owner did not unlock the entrance until a few minutes after its listed opening time, but it was no big deal. He apologized for opening up late and explained what had happened, which I appreciated. Upon entering the shop, the first thing I noticed was the atmosphere. It features a nice, low-key interior, perfect for relaxing while enjoying your coffee. I ordered a simple cold brew, straight up black. It had a perfectly bold flavor. Based on what I saw on the menu, I will have to try their other items next time I stop by. The owner was friendly. Before I ordered the cold brew, he suggested some coffee drinks based on my preferences; next time, I will have to keep those suggestions in mind. Since I was the only one in the shop, I had a pleasant conversation with the owner. He mentioned that not only does he enjoy serving a nice cup of coffee, but he is also a tattoo artist and pointed out the tattoo shop next door. While I enjoyed my coffee, I appreciated how it made me feel right at home the entire time. Next time I am in the area, I will stop by and try some of the other coffee drinks on the menu. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a good cup of coffee.

Xolo quickly became one of my favorite coffee shops. I’ve been frequenting Xolo for nearly a year where Malice is a friendly and consistent presence that makes the shop feel more familiar and comforting. Malice takes pride in the origin and quality of the ingredients in his drinks. He shared that approximately 90% of their ingredients are imported from Mexico, which brings a taste of their community and hometown into Arizona. At Xolo, I’ve enjoyed the Cafe De Olla, Azucar Morena, Geo, Pistachio Espresso, El Tabuca, Matcha Latte, Toasted Maple, and their seasonal drinks such as the Honey Pumpkin Cinnamon Latte. This shop feels like a hidden gem where it’s not overpopulated making this ideal (in my opinion) for studying or working, especially with the available WiFi and seating. If you’re in the area, I would highly recommend stopping by!

The coffee is amazing, my go to is the Geo with dark chocolate. The barista Malice is amazing and knowledgeable, always happy to help when you don’t know what to get. The art and decor feels like a little piece of home.

Tried this place out for the first time this morning; It is such a cool vibe! We were immediately welcomed and assisted by Malice, who did a fantastic job at walking us through the best-sellers and his personal favorites. The coffee was naturally flavored, brewed to excellence, and wonderfully presented. The inside is decorated with a ton of local artwork, and does a great job of including the community, which is why this place is more-than-deserving of these 5 stars. Keep it up!

Amazing service and coffee. Come check out Xolo Coffee not just for great coffee and service but they also host great local art. You can enjoy your coffee alone or in great company while enjoying local art. They also have pastries and infused natural waters!

ALLLL of their flavors are homemade and they are AMAZING. You seriously cannot go wrong they all have the best rich deep flavor! ask the owner to make you something off the “secret” menu 10/10 worth it

Loved the vibe. The walls are covered in local artwork. The barista was very friendly, patient and attentive and you can tell he enjoys his craft. He explained the drinks when we asked since we were unfamiliar with the menu. Unique Mexican flavors. All of our drinks were excellent! We tried 3 of their specialty drinks.
