Gold Bar Espresso

Such a cute coffee spot. Independently run, this place is quaint. The stain glass windows set it apart. It is kid friendly. The two girl's working were friendly and patient. They didn't even mind late additions to the order! The coffee and treats were a great afternoon snack

Sunday morning girls don't greet customers or make eye contact. I felt like I was disturbing them. Didn't say thank you. Heard them talking about how annoying it is when customers that order chai request light ice. Didn't repeat drink order back after the order was made. Felt like I was bothering them by being here.

Drinks are ok. Nothing to write home about. Not from here so I won't be back when I'm in town.

All I have to say is no bathroom. I don't know why, but there's no bathroom for customers. Couldn't focus on my drink because I had to pee.

My husband and I use to frequent this place about 6 years ago and really enjoyed their space and beverages! Today we decided for old times sake to ride our bikes here!

Still a quiet space with lots of tables to snag for studying, work or meeting friends. Quirky atmosphere with lots of art and mismatched decor.

We don't usually venture to much out of our realms for beverages and stick in the chai or cold brew range. Today, I opted for vanilla chai one of five chai options they have and my husband cold brew.

They have an extensive speciality menu, as well as rotating seasonal specials. Prices are pretty on point for cafe and obviously vary based on what your ordering!

Service is friendly and overall still great space from our first visit 6 years ago to today!

Cool little coffee shop tucked away in a shopping center. I could tell some of the customers there were regulars which was awesome! They had quite the variety of mochas and teas. I decided to get spring the spring cherry iced green tea and it was so refreshing! Super nice staff here too, I would recommend.

Flavorful drinks

Prompt and kindly service

Chill coffee shop vibe unlike the sterile, corporate Starbucks across the complex

Love this place.

Gold Bar has unfortunately gone the wrong direction over the last year. New employees are significantly less personable than previous, especially in later hours of the day for some reason. Steve's Espresso is right down the street though and deserve more love. Hate to see them go but Gold Bar just doesn't provide the cozy vibe anymore

The drinks are good and so is the food, although some of the food items come from costco so those ones aren't probably worth the price (to me). Love the atmosphere and the workers are usually nice.

Gold Bar Espresso has a nice inside and some great customer service. Unfortunately, this is the only thing that this coffee shop has to offer. If you are ordering any of the coffee itself I think you'll be disappointed by the lack of coffee or the extreme bitterness of the black coffee. I went here to enjoy a nice morning with my brothers and we ordered cold brew, latte with whole milk, and a mocha (something, I can't remember this name). I think the names of the drinks are the least important thing considering all three of us had some type of inconceivable drink in front of us. Suggesting that perhaps the whole menu suffers from what I'm going to tell you. The cold brew coffee was so bitter, I've never experienced coffee that taste so bitter and yet watered down at the same time. The latte wasn't a latte, it was milk and maybe some coffee in there? The mocha drink my brother got was just chocolate syrup and almost no recognizable coffee flavor at all. With the situation we found ourselves in we decided to try all three of them at once to see if it could make a decent mixture drink. To our surprise it was pretty decent.

With all that being said the ambiance and conversations with the people I was with made the morning a pleasant one. I think this coffee shop has real potential, but would love to see more emphasis on the quality of the coffee.

I was first introduced to this coffee shop when I first moved to Phoenix 11 years ago. I always forget about this place because we live downtown and it is a bit of a drive but so worth it. We came back today to have a nostalgic moment and let me tell you it has not changed. I wanted my partner to experience the uniqueness of this local coffee shop. It still has friendly staff and a huge selection of pastries and drinks. I love that none of the tables or chairs matches which is what makes this place one of a kind.

I ordered a vanilla, raspberry chai and my partner had an almond joy mocha. Both were very good. The staff worked as a team to make sure the customers did not wait long for their drinks. I remember I used to come on Fridays and they had a jazz band. I am hoping they are still around so we can come back and relax here on a Friday evening to enjoy the music and coffee.

Thank you guys for the great teamwork and for keeping this local spot alive. I highly recommend this location to meet up with friends, do some homework, or even just come read a book. I cannot wait to be back in the near future.
