Cartel Roasting Co.

Excellent coffee shop. Their coffee is quite good and they have lots of pastries to choose from; including vegan and gluten free options. Their prickly pear donut is delicious 🤤. Friendly staff and good service. There are a few seats and tables just outside.

I'm in Phoenix for just 4 days but this is, hands down, the best little coffee shop in the downtown area. The flavor of the coffee is fantastic and if you're also a fan of cortado, they are great here. Not much in terms of food but this is a mighty little coffee shop.

Good coffee, friendly staff. Great doughnuts. Also happy to report they passed the American Flat White test! Well worth a visit!

Best espresso in downtown Phoenix I’ve had after six or so coffee shops. Good pull, served with sparkling water. There is a small seating area outside or seats in an office lobby the coffee shop opens up into. Bakery case had a dozen or so items, including some that are vegan and/or GF.

Title: Cappuccino Bliss at Cartel Roasting

My recent cappuccino experience at Cartel Roasting was simply divine. From the moment I walked in, the aroma of freshly roasted beans set the stage for a delightful coffee journey. The cappuccino was a masterpiece, with a perfect balance of robust espresso and velvety milk foam, showcasing the barista's skill. The high-quality beans delivered distinct caramel and nutty notes, and the cozy ambiance added to the overall enjoyment. If you're a coffee lover seeking a top-notch cappuccino, Cartel Roasting is a must-visit.

They make an outstanding latte, the service impeccable and the seating area works in a uniquely Phoenician fashion.
Perfect stop after being in the convention centre or on the way to the Suns.

Great coffee! American cappuccino by barista Maddy! Beautiful coffee art and great vibe in the city! I ordered overnight oats -- they were a tad too sweet for me ( choc chips) but texture was perfect. Baristas were so sweet, friendly & hard working!

Great service, cool spot, good coffee. What else can you ask for!
Staff was warm and welcoming at 7am in the morning. Batch brew coffee was hot and had some character!
Excited to try their pour overs on menu.
Tons of bean options to buy as well!

I ordered a pour over, which takes a bit of time, so the barista poured me a drip while I waited. It was an early day for me so I really appreciated that. It was also really nice to compare and contrast the drip with the pour over.

Stopped in for some coffee in breakfast since our hotel was nearby and wow! I had one of the best cappuccinos I’ve had in quite some time, and my breakfast burrito was fantastic. Very glad we were able to stop by. Highly recommend!

Delicious lattes and probably the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had! I ordered an iced honey lavender latte and it was delicious. The burrito was toasted on all sides and the cheese was melty and wonderful. We came twice on our weekend getaway.

4-29-22 Casa Isabel Guatemala pour over - very smooth. Staff was friendly and helpful on how they brew and suggesting a grinder.

The coffee was great! Also inside its super cute and they have good seating area to do some work on you computer. Also the menu is pretty cool has portions of how much coffee each drink has.

Holy cow. Just had one of the pop tarts. I’ve always loved Cartel, the service and drinks are always great. This pop tart though took it to a new level; a new dimension. This pop tart moved me and set up the rest of my day for success. I now no longer believe I can kick start a day in the office without one. Thank you for changing my life you pop tart aficionados.

Being cheeky, I told the barista in this serious coffee place that I was from Melbourne, and hadn't found good coffee in Phoenix yet. It wasn't strictly true, but a great conversation starter with baristas! He made me an excellent latte with pretty free pour art. The lady working the cash register had to explain some of the offerings for me. I forget now what a one and one is, it involves two shots, one as espresso and one as macchiato? She ran through the cookies, and this was a good idea. I chose an espresso, chocolate, cashew and sea salt cookie, so satisfying to this hungry traveller. There's heaps of room at big tables here, they are expecting you to bring your laptop.

The coffee continues to be next level. And the friendly and sincere service is greatly appreciated. Always a great experience.

Another must-do in Phoenix. Phenomenal vegan lemon poppyseed cake and outstanding coffee and espresso. Love the spare interior and friendly service. It's just steps from the Hyatt and the convention center and situated near a beautiful street art alley.

Amazing espresso roast! Lots of mediocre coffees out there but this roast is rich and decadently smooth. If you love coffee you’ll love their roast.

Coffee shop is simple modern decor with plenty of places to sit and a window to order outside. My new favorite coffee shop when I visit Phoenix!

PS- I ordered a 16oz soy latte (pictured)

Best coffee in Phoenix, perfect latte art, great taste and natural sweetness.

A hidden gem. Great selection of hot or cold coffees, a couple of breakfast burritos, delicious fresh pastries and friedly service. There is an air conditioned area to sit and enjoy your purchases with an immaculately clean public restroom. I strongly recommend stopping in here while wandering downtown.
