I went back to Copper Star today. I ordered a vegan apple cinnamon muffin, which was much better than the pastry I had last time. The cinnamon was oozing out of it and I never would have guessed it was vegan!
The staff was also super friendly today, and they helped me choose an iced green tea (which came in a 7/11 Slurpee size cup...dang!). It took me an hour to sip the whole thing down but there's no rush here! It seems like a good place to hang out!Listed in: The ideal afternoon in Central…, The Vintage Thrift Crawl

Lets see five stars, Why, Coffee check, espresso machines check, really cool people working there, check. what else does a ma pa coffee shop need. Oh yeah they make their own tid bits to eat. I had a blueberry muffin because I just wanted something simple, but I did pass up the last strawberry hazel nut muffin that look great. Attention to detail is what makes this place one of a kind.
That place is just cool just like how you would expect a coffee shop to be. The outside looks like its a converted gas station.
So if your uptown and need a little caffeine, give this place a try, def worth it. -

I have been to this coffee shop before. The area and building are a beauty. The only thing I did not like abut the coffee shop was the regular coffee. Not sure what coffee bean they use, but like the regular coffee at Dutch Brothers (which I don't like either), I need to get something other that regular hot coffee.
My wife went over this Sunday, to go see the PF Chang's marathon. We rode our bikes (no place to lock our bikes, no big deal). I had a vanilla latte, my wife had a chi tea, extra strong. The pastries looked good, but looks do not tell the whole story. Anyway, my wife's chi tea was extra sweet not extra strong. My strawberry muffin was a little chewy and my wife's scone was somewhat not so sweet. My wife returned her chi tea, and got regular tea. By the time she was back, I had finished my latte and somewhat good muffin. We will try this place again, and hopefully with the four people they had working, they can minimize the waiting period. Very, very slow. I guess they need faster or more experienced barrister's.
P.S. My wife did like the prices. -

Great little coffee shop. I noticed it while driving down 7th Ave. the other day and it looked so quaint I decided to return for a drink. I recommend the black tea they have. It's delicious and pretty generous for $2. The atmosphere is relaxed with what sounds like the silversun pickup station playing in the background. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

We had a 2-for-1 print out, good for up to $6.00, so we decided to come here for lunch and get sandwiches last Saturday. On the menu board, there were 3 post-its on it saying "Out of Sandwiches". They told us that they stop serving sandwiches later in the day, so we ate some where else.
We decided to return the next day on Sunday, and the same 3 post-its were on the menu board again! We were not happy! We got there earlier than we did on Saturday. This time they told us that they are out of a lot of the items that are needed to make sandwiches, & they are awaiting their shipment. But they said that they could only make us Tuna Sandwiches...So we went ahead & got that.
This left us with a bad impression about this place & will most likely not return.
In the mean time, while we were in line....2 more customers walked in & noticed the post-its, too....They turned around & walked out. Apparently, they are losing business by not having there 'shipment'.
...The tuna sandwiches were quite dry, & not much flavor...
(....Hmmm, maybe they should just stick to coffee, cookies, & muffins.) -

I'm going to have to update this due to the new crowd that's in and out of this place. Man, what happened?!?! This place was really cool but now it's FULL of a weird crowd of old hipsters. weird. Now I feel underdressed when i go in here. Though the live music is still cool, it's impossible to sit down because you're squished in like sardines. We had to take the kids outside to sit down last time. They should have the band play outside rather than right next to the counter. It's all arranged very awkwardly. The drinks are just drinks. They're good, but just normal coffee shop drinks. All in all, I'm no longer impressed. Super bummer.. such a cool lookin spot.

Loved this place. Out of all the five local coffee joints I stopped by during a trip to Phoenix, this one I'd have to say was the best of them. I drove past them while pursuing breakfast, but decided to stop by on my way back down 7th, to have a cup of coffee and figure out what to do with the rest of my day.
There isn't a ton of parking, but there is plenty of places to park on the street. It's a small, cozy, repurposed gas station as everyone else has pointed out, and the interior is simple, yet relaxing feeling. Parents with their kids sit outside of this kind of place. Older people relax with a cup of coffee with their dog on a leash at this kind of place. Younger hipsters hang out inside on their mobile devices at this kind of place. The garage door was open, so a cool morning in Arizona could be enjoyed by everyone. The couches inside were precariously cushy as they engulf you when you sit down.
The cookie I ordered as a dessert to breakfast was still warm when it was served to me. The chocolate chips were gooey and soft, and it was practically right out of a commercial, with a slow camera pan on my hands as I ripped a chunk off with a rivulet of milky chocolate stretching away. The coffee was not burnt-tasting or overly bitter, and was probably the best I had on my trip.
And everyone who worked there was polite and friendly. Several of them took the time to address my questions about the area, and if they had any suggestions of anything to do, whether it was in the city or out in Surprise where I was headed.
The experience as a whole was easily worth five stars. Convenient location, free parking, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and quality products. Easily a repeat trip next time I'm out in Phoenix. -

Awesome little coffee/tea joint. They have free wifi with tables and couches and is fun to chill out in. Parking is the only downside side for this place so you will have to park on the street which really is not all that bad. I have not tried the baked goods yet and will have too soon. Other reviews say the baked goods are really good.

Eeeeeeeee. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on me, yet again. I keep wanting to love Copper Star for many reasons, but just can't get over that one major issue I have each time.
Upon giving Copper Star another shot, met with the same results we were. I guess it should be a hint when a coffee shop gets awarded Best of Phoenix for their muffins and baked goods, but never a mention about the coffee? That's kind of how it feels here.
The baked goods are quite good. The cupcakes and muffins are very fresh, almost shockingly. The place itself is quaint, delightful and has a very neat look - great idea with the gas station theme. Coffee itself though, I could do without. Automatic pulled shots that were well over 40 seconds. Cappuccino that wavered between watery and milky, to a faint, faint background of burnt-roast-taste.
CSC is probably one of the better places to get a baked good in town. If coffee is really your thing though, head east a half mile. -

Small coffee shop.
I only gave it 3 stars because I went here to get free WiFi because my condo's internet went out, to discover the WiFi here was in and out. I even told the employee there that the internet was down and he tried to reset the wireless, but still the WiFi did not work.
I got a chai latte here. It was good, but I was disappointed that it was my first time there and I wasn't offered a punch card, the "special offer" on Yelp. However, the customer after me got one, which kind of ticked me off.
There isn't much parking, so you have to find parking on the streets.
Overall, probably wouldn't come here again. -

Copper Star is my go-to coffee joint. Their coffee is great, their iced tea is great, and their sweet treats are great.
The GIANT rice crispy treat is gooey and buttery and delicious - just like it should be.
Nice counter staff & baristas. The owner is super nice too.
Can't beat the location and the price - and the free Wi-Fi.
Also the band that plays on Sunday mornings is AWESOME! -

Moved to midtown Phx about 1 year ago. If I was to ever move out of the neigborhood, I would miss Copper Star Coffee the most. It's my favorite coffee shop I've been to in AZ. The staff is super friendly, there is plenty of room to lounge around and play on the internet (for free). The menu is awesome! I don't have much of a sweet tooth but all their pastries look delicious. I think they switch up the art on the walls like every two weeks or something like that so it's nice to see all the different art work. On Sunday mornings theres this 3 piece band that comes in around 10:30 or 11:00 and plays old country and rock tunes.
I love how I stop in every morning before work and Cindy or any of the other ladies know exactly what I want.
If you live in the neighborhood and haven't been to Copper Star yet, you are blowing it. -

Great little coffee shop made from an old gas station. Very old school, vintage appeal. Has a drive through and makes some tasty coffee! They usually have some entertainment during the weekend and are pretty quick. Great patio.
If you are hitting the Melrose district for some vintage shop exploration, start here. It sets an awesome tone for the neighborhood and coffee is great before walking to 7 or 8 stores. -

The Copper Star Coffee shop has several reviews already and without being too verbose and periphrastic, I will keep my review short.
Coffee ~ very good, full bodied taste without bitterness and has a good aroma.
Coffee Accompaniments ~ good selection of cookies, pastries, tarts. I asked them to heat my brownie ; -) it was chocolicious X2!
Service ~ very friendly and happy and eager to please
Decor ~ it used to be much more comfy with more couches and big comfy chairs. I think they are trying to accommodate more people with the use of big wooden tables and hard chairs. It used to be much more comfy with more room to move and set up better to meet with friends.
All in all, it's a great place for a cup of joe if your in the area. They have a convenient drive through if you don't have time to stop.Listed in: Coffee & Caffeine

I'm originally from Phoenix's Encanto District. Whenever I'm back in town visiting my parents, it's a pleasure to come back to Copper Star Coffee.
Part of the reason to head to Copper Star is the ambiance: it's a converted vintage gas station with a quirky, welcoming feel. Light streams in through the glass-paneled garage door and, with the cafe's tall ceilings, the space feels at once very large and very cozy. I've come here to work the past, but unlike some coffee shops, Copper Star is never completely overrun by laptops. There are always pairs or groups of friends here having a good time. Nevertheless, if productivity is what you want, the shop is never too loud, there's free WiFi, and there are a couple plugs along the west wall. I've definitely had some productive afternoons tinkering away at one of their long communal tables.
The quality of service at Copper Star has consistently been excellent. The folks are nice, approachable, and ready to help, and interacting with them has always been a joy. The coffee is good -- I'm a no-fuss, black coffee girl, but trust them about the iced cappuccino on really hot days -- and, if you're more of a tea person, they're one of the few places nearby that stock Harney & Sons, one of my favorite tea blenders in the US. I've had a couple pastries and the veggie sandwich, and they were delicious.
In sum: If you're a Phoenician in need of a charming, quality coffee shop in your neighborhood to spend time with friends or solo, go to Copper Star. You're welcome. -

Copper Star is where I go to buy drip coffee to make at home. And where I meet up for coffee on weekends and evenings with friends. When you can find parking (though I prefer walking or biking), the atmosphere there is so relaxed you can't help but sit and unwind for a few.
Their non-coffee items are just as delicious, from the italian sodas (with choice of regular or heavy cream) to the delicious desserts and baked goods (which usually even have a vegan option), keep me coming back.
Parking is limited, and I've never been through the drive though as it looks awkward, but this is still a place you don't want to miss out on. -

I'm pretty happy with this place overall; drinks are good, service is friendly, atmosphere is enjoyable, and I delight in the immediate neighborhood, where I inevitably have to park.
My one complaint: though they do technically stock rice milk, they never actually have it. What gives! I'm tired of coffee places thinking it's adequate to offer soy as the only dairy alternative. I ask for it every time and every time they are still out. C'mon guys, this game is not difficult. -

Every time I visit this coffee shop, I wish I lived closer! The building is adorable (converted gas station), they have free wifi and they are vegan-friendly. I hear wonderful things about their cupcakes, but I haven't checked to see if they carry vegan cupcakes. I did have a vegan apple cinnamon muffin there a while back that was delicious.

i've been to copper star since it first opened, pre-yelp days for me and my locavore ways were still being established but eversince my first copper star experience I've been in love with this coffeehouse. I just love their place, the former gas station turned coffeehouse makes this place as one of the places i bring out of town guests to show them that Phoenix does have its little gems and 7th ave or "melrose" is just quaint. Anywho, I've had good chai here, and yummy creamy nonfat vanilla lattes but only recently did I try a pastry treat. The lady behind the counter was a sweetheart and she made me feel extra special when she liked my "human" shirt and asked who designed it... yes that day i was proud to be a Gay Black Woman... as my shirt starts off with. I bought myself the nonfat vanilla latte with carrot cake cupcake that had what seemed was an extra dollop of cream cheese frosting, DeLISH! it was truly carrotrific, and the cupcake provided a great sweetness kick to go with my extra caffeinated beverage. Copper Star may not be a Lux with it's urban chic interior, or the real bohemian interior of Lola on Roosevelt or the hipster cool of Cartel in Tempe, no, Copper Star is simply cool with its venue and hold its own with its great drinks, coffees and treats, so hence Copper Star is truly a coffeehouse star!

It's my first time here and the only thing I was impressed about what that the establishment is located in an old gas station.
The people working here are not too personable when talking with customers. I understand they might get tired of doing that for 5 hours, but if their friends come in leaning and hanging out on the counter while talking to the employees for half hour or more. Then it's time to get re-train some of these workers to be more customer oriented because they're losing focus. They're talking loud on the phone while on shift - pretty much everyone in the place could hear her business.
The coffee was "ok" nothing too special - I like that bitter/sweet taste in my drink, but that wasn't present.
The custom art on the walls are neat and makes the atmosphere of the place more welcoming, but there's a disconnect between that and the worker's attitude. I wouldn't mind coming back to this place and giving them another try... I'll re-review until then. -

I love their scones. I'm not a huge coffee drinker and I'll admit that I often review coffee houses based on their baked good offerings. I enjoy supportin glocal businesses which is what is important to me. The location is cute and they have free wifi. Lots of people are seen working here with their laptops open with a scone before them. Seriously, you need to get the cranberry scone. Crumbling and crunchy on the outside. Tender and perfectly balanced sweetness/tartness on the inside. I'm hungry again ....

I loved the environment (quiet and sleek) and the coffee was good enough, but Copper Star's free wireless internet was completely maddening. I'd hoped to do some work, but an endless parade of disconnects drove me to more friendly internet confines at Lola's, which was a shame, because I wanted a sandwich.

Cute indie coffee shop. Nice staff. Usually get a drink to go but today decided to sit and take it in. Comfy place overall, but very weird use of space? There are two huge couches in the middle of the seating area- which essentially makes it so there is less seating overall. I'm not sure about you- but it exceeded my comfort level to sit on a couch in the middle of two strangers. Also- the purple couch has A LOT of city miles on it. Might be time

Cute and affordable. Finally an alternative that I actually want to go to!
Every time I try to break away from the corporate coffee chains, I get burned because their lattes taste like dirt, or they act like they've never heard of soy milk. Come on people!
That's what I loved about this place, the staff actually knew what they were doing, and the menu included all the necessities, plus a few of their own creations! Try the mint mocha...uh, YUM! They make a great soy vanilla latte too.Listed in: Liquid Consciousness

Copper Star Coffee is super-adorable with a nice, mellow atmosphere and quiet ambience. I don't normally drink coffee so they served me up an enormous glass of iced green tea and a huge cupcake from the case. The cupcake tasted a little boxy but the iced tea was light and refreshing, and their small advertising section with flyers for local bands and other extracurricular activities just might point you in the direction of an excellent show or an interesting new hobby... it did for me. :)

In the interest of full disclosure--my hubby worked here when it was a Texaco station way back "in the day." Not that that has anything to do with Coffee Star's current life, but you know what they say...
That said, I have to confess: I've never actually had coffee here. You see, I'm a Trader Joe's gal. I buy my Trader Joe's roast [well, actually Ken buys it, I don't do grocery shopping any more], bring it home, set up the timed Mr. Coffee [well, actually Ken does that for me too--don't all you chicks out there wish you had MY husband???] and it turns on at 6 am. By the time I'm done with my health walk, it's brewed and waiting for me.
So you all are no doubt wondering just why is this crazy NDN woman reviewing a coffee shop where she's never had the coffee? Because, amigos...it's because Coffee Star is one of my favorite lunch spots. It's in the Melrose District, also one of my faves [I have a biggg article coming out in Valley Guide Quarterly to prove it!], their sandwiches are OK [not 100 percent, more like 80 percent but that's ok], the building is just the coolest old gas station-cum-coffee shop EVER and did this, kemosabes...
THEY HAVE REAL COKE!! That's right, caballeros, they have Mexican Coca-Cola, the old recipe with real sugar instead of the corn syrup that Coke so-calls sweetens their colas with. That along is worth driving over for...
And it's a great spot to hang and watch the world go by. One of these days I'll try out the wi-fi and try to resolve that issue....Listed in: Top Restaurants, The Places I Go Out, My Neighborhood

Cool place with lots of charm, this ain't no chain coffee house.
I just had an iced coffee which was very good and the red cupcake.
-----I'm gonna get kicked in the nads and/or have several drinks thrown on me at the next Yelp event for sure for this next comment.---
The cupcake was just average, and the frosting was even a bit grainy.
I'm gonna go buy a "cup" now so it doesn't hurt when I get kicked in the nads by everyone who loves their cupcakes. -

Can you give extra stars for cute barristas? That's probably unfair. Plus, it's unnecessary because Copper Star earns five stars on its own merit.
Phoenix has yet to turn me on. Now, I am sure there are many hidden oases of awesome out here in the desert, but I haven't found many. Thank you, Copper Star for not being a mirage. I enjoyed your coffee. I'm glad you have free wi-fi and I really like the feel of your cafe. I'd say it's crisp. That's the term I'd give to Apple products if I didn't dislike Apple. Crisp: you've got it, Copper Star. Next time I'm in Phoenix...let that not be soon, I'm going to linger at one of your tables and savor another cup of joe and be content.Listed in: Jittery Purity

Copper Star Coffee was the perfect venue for Yelpy Office Hours today... we had a great turnout, and a lot of fun! I also got to see yelpers enjoying all kinds of CS drinks and treats. (The green tea chiller that Kelly had looked especially refreshing!)
Their soy latte was pretty damn good, and I ended up eating lunch at Copper Star also... who knew that they have fresh sandwiches and salads? I wanted the egg salad but they were out of it. Bummer! I went with the curry chicken salad instead and it was tasty - as long as you like curry. Not the best I've had, but it was convenient and edible.
Bill, Natalie, and Mindy took great care of our group... and since I ended up spending over 5 hours at the place, I was able to observe many of the other customers that came in and out as well. It was a diverse group, and all friendly and cool. Great for people watching and working - the day flew by!
Thanks again to all of you that came out today, and to Copper Star for accommodating us. See you soon, Copper Star!Listed in: Downtown Diva Destinations...

Sometimes, I wish I were a coffee drinker. I'm not. I'll have what I call a "bitch coffee drink" a couple times a year, but that's it.
Copper Star is right across the street from my house and I just ventured there for the first time with Nathan S today.
I like the simple menu for drinks. There are a few different categories and not a million different variations, which I think is cool. If only other places would "K.I.S.S."
I had the toffee coffee drink, and it was pretty good. Not great. Good. I also had an apple croissant. BARELY tasted the apples. The croissant itself was light, buttery and flaky. But, where were the apples?????????????
I love the atmosphere here.
I am seriously thinking of becoming a coffee drinker. That's a key product here and MAYBE the stars would go up if I could taste the quality of the coffee.Listed in: My favorite Do/CenPho things…

Copper Star is totally the type of place I would like, despite the fact that I'd much rather meet someone for an adult beverage than a coffee. The times that I do go to coffee shops is when I want to buckle down and get some work done for my graduate classes or lesson plan for work. For very obvious reasons, the free WIFI is KEY when I want to spend hours at a coffee shop getting work done.
I've been to Copper Star a few times, and noticed that their Internet is very slow. This past Saturday, however, it was beyond frustrating. I asked the girl working the counter and she replied "Our Internet is sucky." Needless to say, a pretty pathetic and frustrating response. I had already ordered a tea and breakfast sandwich (nothing special there) so I had to stick around to finish those up. The Internet (after a half hour) starting working but went in and out.
Coffee shops without consistently working WIFI are useless to me, and despite how adorable the actual spot is, I don't see myself returning here again. If you need reliable Internet, I don't think you should, either (unless they fix the problem).Listed in: CenPho
