Gold Bar Espresso

The staff has been friendly and attentive every time I've been, and the drinks are tasty and decently priced, especially for an independent shop competing with a Starbucks. The atmosphere is cozy and quirky (mismatched chairs and local art galore), which is something I think a lot of coffee shops are sadly moving away from. One of my favorite haunts!

The staff are friendly and helpful. It's a cute coffee shop with an historic legacy in Tempe. We love coming here! However their punch cards aren't "get your 11th one free" but rather "your 11th drink is just $1" or "$1.50 for Uber size".

Love Gold Bar. Cool little place. Great coffee and snacks!

Great vibes. Comfy and cozy place to get coffee or tea.

Fantastic place to get your caffeine fix!! The staff are super friendly. The owners are around fairly often and are a nice older couple.

I'm a loyal customer since (a long time)

One of the best coffee places in Tempe. The coffee is great, the atmosphere is awsome, and the staff are so kind and lovely. Simply, the best there is.

Great coffee and goodies, nice atmosphere and the staff was friendly and fast!

We went for live music they had on a Friday night. Enjoyed the music and the atmosphere was nice. They have games and comfy chairs as well. The tea I had was just ok and the coffee my partner had was pretty good. I would definitely lean toward getting coffee here instead of tea (this was the second time I had tea here and was unimpressed). We got a cookie too which was pretty tasty.

For local coffee this is a great spot. The coffee they use has a good smooth flavor and the menu options are great. It can get full at times, but it is always worth a stop before Starbucks for sure. I have been a few times in the afternoon and weekend mornings when they had some live music, which was a great break from the norm.

Best coffee shop out there. Always friendly, and no distracting music - except for the great live performances.

Love this place! The coffee, and pastries are wonderful. I found the folks running the joint to be wonderful, as well. I don't do iced coffee. My order was mistakenly made as an iced coffee, stuff happens. I was going to give my iced coffee, to my wife, and have another one made, no problem. The owner, or manager, sitting at a near-by table, wasn't having it. He insisted the order be made correctly, no charge. I stayed a bit longer, to enjoy the music.

Adorable & cozy little coffee shop that has live music on weekends. Great desserts & coffee.

Best coffee in the valley that I've found so far. Chill big city coffee shop vibe on the inside, the coffee is worth it, usually take every lunch break here. Highly recommend.

Awesome local coffee shop! I happened to be here on a Sunday morning when a gentleman was playing an acoustic guitar set and it set a great vibe. They serve a delicious vanilla dirty chai!
