Giant Coffee

I stopped by The Giant for a coffee and was really impressed with the overall experience. I ordered the Honey Vanilla Latte, and it was perfectly balanced—smooth, just the right amount of sweetness, and had a great depth of flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients and take their time crafting each drink. Beyond the coffee, the atmosphere is what really stood out to me. The open floor plan makes the space feel airy and inviting, and it’s a great spot to either get some work done or just relax. The vibe is warm, modern, and welcoming—exactly what you want in a coffee shop. If you’re looking for a solid coffee spot with great drinks and a comfortable ambiance, The Giant is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back for sure!

I visited Friday, June 27, 2025 at about 10am If there was an option for 2.5 stars, I would’ve put that down. This place is not for me, but works well with people who are looking for a comfortable place to work from home. I bought a honey vanilla latte and a breakfast burrito and paid $18.46. The honey vanilla latte was cloyingly sweet. I recommend it iced rather than hot, served as a double in the same size or to ask for less syrup if ordered hot. The breakfast burrito was wholly O.K. The sage breakfast sausage was actually very good, but all other elements of the burrito were entirely nondescript. It took 15 mins to heat from cold which the barista did warn me about so I have no problem with that. The atmosphere was very reminiscent of a corporate cafeteria. The entirety of the cafe is occupied by people who work from home which includes people taking meetings. The cafe seems geared towards this, hosting long individual bench seats with easy access to wall outlets and few sit and chat tables.

Popped into Giant Coffee Co. on a mission: one writer, one laptop (at 38% battery), and one emotionally charged memoir-in-progress about ex-lovers who shall not be named (but definitely will be written about). And let me tell you, this place delivered. From the outside, Giant gives off the kind of sleek, modern vibes you’d expect from an architecture magazine spread—complete with palm trees, crisp white lines, and a chic desert-modern aesthetic that says, “Yes, I journal AND I moisturize.” Inside? Total vibe. Think warm wood tones, industrial ceilings, and just enough green plants to say, “We care about oxygen.” There’s a retro guitar mounted on the wall like a piece of visual poetry (or perhaps a subtle reminder not to date musicians again). The seating is cozy without being too let’s-share-feelings close, and the people-watching is top-tier. The staff? Friendly, cool, and caffeinated—just like the espresso. My latte was strong (like the boundary I should’ve had with Chad), and the pastry I inhaled was flaky perfection. I did shed a small tear when I realized there were no power outlets, but honestly? Sometimes the universe says, “Just write, don’t scroll.” And I listened. Giant Coffee Co. is the kind of place that makes writer’s block feel like a temporary detour rather than a brick wall. I left a few pages lighter and a lot more caffeinated. Will I be back? Absolutely. Next time I’ll just bring a fully charged device—and maybe a first date to psychoanalyze over cortados.

Honey Latte is amazing! I took even two mugs. Breakfast burrito cooked about 20 minutes but it worth it! Best burrito I tried. For one coffee and burrito $19

We tried this place for the first time today. Kalia is a gem! So friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was so chill and inviting. Food was really good. Restrooms are super clean. Love the real plants they use as part of the decor.

Hadn't been here in YEARS. Love the architecture. Open air space when front bay doors are open. Kinda hidden, but a gem.

An amazing coffee shop both in quality of products (my americano was silky & flavorful & the beast burrito was flavorful) but in design and customer service. Was staying the area for work and found this gem. Ideal for a cup of coffee and go or to do some work and hang out. A must visit spot IMO!

Beautiful coffee shop and a nice place to sit, chat, read, people watch etc. but the coffee isn mediocre… got both a cold brew and a cappuccino and they were both meh

Loveee this coffee shop! The staff is super sweet and the coffee is always amazing!! Cute spot to relax or get some work done! I do wish they had more of a flavor variety or had rotating specialty drinks

I visited this coffee shop while I was out of town and working from home (WFH) here. It's very quiet, with plenty of space to work either alone or with friends. The shop is tucked away in a cozy spot that many people might miss while driving by. One of my favorite features is that the windows open, allowing you to sit inside while still enjoying a nice Arizona breeze, especially during the pleasant spring season. I ordered a chai tea but forgot to ask for a pump of vanilla. It wasn't my favorite, as I prefer a sweeter chai. Next time I visit, I'll be sure to ask for vanilla syrup. All in all, I absolutely LOVED this spot and will definitely be back!

I visited on a Sunday morning, and it was fairly quiet with only a few people there. There's street parking conveniently located right in front. The barista who helped me was friendly and quick to greet us. I tried the brown sugar cinnamon latte, and it was delicious--perfectly balanced and not too sweet. If you're a fan of cinnamon, I highly recommend it. I also had the maple matcha latte, which had just a hint of sweetness. While I would have preferred a stronger matcha flavor, it was still enjoyable. The interior is super cute, making it a great spot for studying or catching up with friends.

I have only gone in once and they won me over, staff is super friendly and when I asked the barista to make me her favorite sweet coffee she definitely delivered! It was so good I would definitely go again

What a beautiful place and vibe! Open concept, lots of seating, plants everywhere, and great music. Oh and the coffee is delicious. I got a seasonal offering of a thyme, lavender latte. I also tried their breakfast burrito as people recommended it online. It was tasty. Not my favorite in town, but a good size and the barista sent me home with a side salsa which was much appreciated. Super friendly service. I'll be back!

The bar-style seating is really unique and the whole place in general really cute. I went on a Sunday at noon and it wasn't busy but it started picking up around 1:30. They had free Wi-Fi and it was a great place to get some work done. I parked in the back lot, which was pretty ample but I think there's also parking in the front. The barista was also really nice and answered any questions I had. I didn't get her name but she was a blonde. I ordered an iced single-origin mocha and it was about $6.00, which is pretty typical for the coffee shops in the area.

Giant Coffee does not disappoint. We were immediately greeted with a smile at the counter and the service was quick. The interior of the shop is exquisite and provides a perfect, cozy spot for studying college students. The Americano I had was amazing and the pumpkin cheesecake is also a seasonal must. I hope to be back soon

Lovely little spot to grab a coffee/tea before the museum or a show at The Phoenix Theatre Company. Relaxing and mellow with a friendly staff and quick service. Highly recommend the House Recipe Chai!

Cute little place near the Phoenix Art Museum. It's very open, with high top booths and counter space for people to work and long tables with benches & small tables with a mix of chairs and booths for family/friends to catch up. I felt very comfortable bringing my toddler here due to all the open space. One man was working; he was polite and to the point. They had a whole convenient store type cart (candy, chips, etc) which I found a bit odd, but they also had baked goods, cereal (also odd) and a burrito of the day. I didn't try the burrito (it looked good), but opted for a blueberry muffin since I know my toddler loves them. It was a bit dry and kinda crumbled when we tried to use a fork, but the flavor was still there. I tried the brown sugar & rosemary latte special, it basically just ended up tasting like flavored milk. Overall atmosphere was 5 stars, but the food and drink were 2. Probably won't be back, but glad I gave it a try.

enjoyed a really good latte here that the barista was awesome enough to suggest to me on the spot. It was a honey vanilla lavender and wow did these simple ingredients blend so well together or whatever she did to make sure that each note was hit and had the right amount of sweetness. Loved the energy and the service provided. The space was big, clean, and earthy tones. I would stop by here again and catch up on some work or even have a cute coffee date!

Before heading out of Phoenix, I decided to stop by this coffee shop for a good cup of joe. After navigating to this area, I found parking easy to find. This was probably because it was early on a Sunday, so most people were either at church or hung over. The coffee shop was small, but popular. There were people working on their laptops, and others chatting away with friends. I got lucky, and came in when there was no line. After perusing their menu, I decided to stick with the cold brew. The barista added some almond milk for some flavor, which was decent with my drink. I also got a raspberry bar. And even though I don't normally get pastries, I can say that bar was pretty good. After getting my order, I made my way back to my car, and begun my 6-hour journey back home. Their cold brew kept me wired the whole way, which was perfect. This place is great coffee shop, I'd recommend them.

So I thoroughly enjoyed giant coffee. Actually went there to find a place to work and to get some things done, and I walked in it was surprised the fact that it was really cool and chill and everybody was super friendly and we're really communicative and a coffee bar. Have some really good conversations. The family who owned it was super duper nice! Even had a conversation outside of ordering for like 15 minutes just about other things in the area. I had the black tea and it was good, I mean it's tea lol but it was brewed very well. The spaces that they had or enough for me to go ahead and plug in and stretch out to get some work done as well so the facilities were good too. All the way around, really good spot to go to for people watching and people talking and for business.

Took a second but was able to find this spot next to CVS. I grabbed a cold brew. Didn't try any of the pastries but they looked decent. The highlight was the barista from what I can gather is part of the owning family. She was working on holiday decorating. For my laptop lifestyle friends, this could be a decent spot to take a zoom call or work out of but the music is a *touch* loud.

Amazing coffee. Amazing vibes. Perfect place to study and get work done. 10/10 would recommend. Can walk there from the museum!

Stopped in on Presidents Day and loved the open space and minimal customers on the holiday. Typically-priced coffee and delicious food offerings (try the daily breakfast burrito!). I enjoyed an Americano and the specialty lattes for the day were super creative and tasty looking. Came here with a friend in town and will re eturn soon!

I've visited this spot for years. I love the honey vanilla latte! Stopped by today and Kalia (sp?) was the barista. She was quick, helpful, and honestly, just a beautiful presence with great vibes.

Their seasonal ICED LAVENDER THYME OAT LATTE & it was $6.24. It was good but I don't I would pay that much for it again. Phoenix has a great coffee shop scene & I'm glad to check this one off the list but it didn't quite do it for me. Ask for the key to use the bathroom. You can either pay for the metered parking in front or do street parking & walk a little. I opted to sit at their bar-style tables which were cute but the leather/vinyl on their seats are cracked so if you're wearing shorts it scratches you & gets uncomfortable. I moved to their longer communal table in the middle. I think the outlets are only under the bar seating area

If it's Organic Coffee you're looking for, you've found the right place! They serve organic milk in their lattes, which is totally appreciated! Everything is very reasonably priced, except for the Soda. It is organic and low-sugar, but it was over $3.00 a can. I tried the Lavender Thyme Latte that was featured. I must say, I really enjoyed every sip! It wasn't too sweet, just right! I also got a Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin and was extremely happy with that choice as well. The cafe is clean and has a cool downtown feel. Lots of natural light, plants and wood elements make it a very comfortable hang out. The only downside I experienced was that my coffee took almost 20 minutes. It wasn't for lack of effort; the barista was the only one working and the line was almost to the door. He really did a good job of juggling the register and the espresso machine, but one person can only do so much.

How many recent one-star reviews need to mention the rude girl behind the counter before they do something about it? Or is nothing done because it could be referring to any number of rude people they keep in their employee? Not just, like, bad and rude, but combative, unapologetic, and awful. Sometimes, the only thing you can do is check your surroundings and wonder if you're on a hidden camera show. It was unreal. It was like an alien body snatcher's first day of being human was spent trying to study human nature by trying, and failing, to take basic orders.

This coffee shop has stunning desert-modern architecture. It's sleek and polished with a hipster vibe (I mean, can't most coffee joints be described that way)? I was passing through Phoenix and did a quick search for local coffee spots and decided to pop in and try Giant Coffee. It was a busy weekend morning, and plenty of neighborhood folks were already swarming with their dogs and bicycles and designer sunglasses. There was a bit of a wait, but I got a cappuccino to sip first, and an iced tea to enjoy on my drive back to Nevada. The prices are in line with most gourmet espresso places: $3.75 for my cappuccino, $3.00 for the iced tea. The cappucino was high quality and tasty, but the foam was a little lacking. I did add a sprinkle of cocoa powder because I couldn't resist. The iced tea was brewed fresh just for me, and it was STRONG! I love strong tea, but I had to add some water to it. It was very good but slightly bitter due to its strength. The barista seemed frazzled from the huge crowd, and service was slow. But Giant Coffee cranks out a terrific product, and it's a great stop for my fellow coffee snobs.

My go to place whenever I need to get work done, read a book or even if I just want to enjoy my cup of coffee with the sun shining thru! My personal favorite is the lavender latte with any of their pastries!

Super cute atmosphere and I LOVE the organic milk added in. Syrup I had was homemade and coffees were same price/cheaper than big chain names anyway, so why wouldn't you go?! Sweet lady working that helped us order

I can't believe that I do not have a review of Giant coffee! I have been going to this coffee shop for at least seven years. I love the ambience. On a good weather day, they open the front glass windows and you feel like you were sitting outdoors while having your coffee. The pour over that they have is amongst the best I've ever tasted. That said, it takes time to do a pour over correctly, so do not be in a hurry. They also have some tasty treats that go on sale late in the afternoon. The only downside, is that the coffee shop is right behind the Arizona School for the Arts and the kids flood the place in the afternoon. Fortunately, I like kids. They have good Wi-Fi and it's a nice place to knock out your email while you're sipping one of their drinks.

Everything was just perfect and the young man who made my peppermint latte was so sweet!

Stopped by to get some things for my dad and I on my way to get him from the airport! Parking is not great over here but it's downtown Phoenix so that's expected. There wasn't a line and not a ton of people in here! It's very spacious I was surprised how big it was. Clean aesthetic too, which was cool! I got a small iced cinnamon honey latte with almond milk, and got my dad an iced black tea with agave. My dad enjoyed his tea! My latte was good too. I've had some watery lattes lately and this one wasn't. It was still flavorful, even after the ice melted. The baristas were super nice too! Would definitely come back.

This small coffee shop is located on N 1st Street right behind Basilic Vietnamese Kitchen. There's a surprisingly spacious interior for seating, which makes it a nice space to work in. There is some street parking next to the shop and a private lot next to Basilic Vietnamese, so it's not super hard to get to the store itself. I ordered an iced honey vanilla latte with oat milk, which came out promptly. Service was great, and the barista was sweet and helpful. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the drinks. The coffee itself is fine, but I believe they add a tad too much syrup so the drink is a little too sweet. The drink also doesn't have a very good mouthfeel and it's on the watery side (maybe it's the milk they use -- I chose oat milk). Additionally, I wish their pastries were of higher quality -- I've tried the coffee cake in the past, and it was dry and quite average. In general, not my favorite spot for coffee in the neighborhood, but fine for a caffeine fix.

Phoenix has some outstanding choices in coffee shops. A favorite haunt of mine as you can tell from my reviews. We were driving around the area near Giant on business and spotted Giant. Needing a break we decided to stop in. We got a banana nut muffin, a latte, a cold brew, and a cinnamon crumb muffin. The coffee was brewed to perfection. The cold brew was likely one of the best I've had in months. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The pastry selection and food selection were typical for the area. A breakfast burrito being a standard item in most of the area. The building has a very industrial look with bare concrete slab ceilings and exposed conduit. Plywood is used for paneling behind the counter. It's a great little place to check out.

Got through security quickly so decided to treat myself to a latte and muffin while waiting for my flight to board. Cinnamon muffin was tasty but would have been better if it was warmed up. Latte was delicious extra hot and not overly sweet. This coffee counter was in a shop area but had no line compared to the Starbucks down the terminal. Not a ton of seating there but it's easy enough to find seating at one of the gates not far.

THE best lattes in Phoenix! The cafe is charming and cozy, a great place to hang with friends, meet colleagues, and simply enjoy a great cup of Java. The service is always outstanding.

The coffee was GREAT! But sadly I was mislead based on their google search. If you look them up on google they have posted that they are pet friendly when they do not in fact have anywhere to sit and enjoy with your furry pet. So just make sure to leave your pets at home!

Really cute and quiet place! Sweet service by Rebecca, who was holding it down solo on a Sunday. I adored the art and decorations, too. I got the honey lavender latte with almond milk, and it wasn't too great, unfortunately. I was really excited about it, but it lacked any honey lavender taste, and it was very thin in body and "mouthfeel," at the risk of sounding fancy. It was just fine, and it was certainly better than any Starbucks latte, but I'm sorry to say that it wasn't anything special or luxurious.

During COVID-19: Delicious breakfast burritos? They got it! Pair it with a delicious cold brew to boot? They also got it! They're open during COVID-19 with masks mandatory when entering in. The cold brews are a great pick-me-up along with a breakfast burrito... with a crunch! I didn't even reheat it and the wrap had a crispiness. They also have latte specials like lavender lattes and various pour overs. Merch and coffee beans are available for purchase at the right of the counter. They also have some pastries like croissants and cookies up front behind the counter. Service was quick and easy. The shop is shared with a boutique next door. If the coffeeshop was open for dine-in, they have a lot of space and seating to work with. Love the hipster wood vibe and interior. Accepts cash and card. Mask up! Take out and delivery only. Bon appetit!

been here a few times definitely need to go again, coffee is actually good and their treats are delicious great area to sit and do some schoolwork or work in general !!

Honey latte is just kind of watery (as someone else mentioned), same with the chai; I've been here a few times but i've not really had anything that makes it a better pick than another shop. The pastries and sodas are a good pick though. Basically anything besides the coffee isn't too bad. I think service is a little slower than other places, but I understand these drinks take time to make. It's very clean and has nice decoration though!

We were staying in an airbnb close by, and I walked out alone one morning to look for coffee. This place was really cute. I liked the indoor/outdoor ambiance and plants everywhere. There was a lot of ample work space and people with laptops. I ordered the honey lavender latte, and an iced americano, then impulsively bought a coffee cake loaf. My late was good, just VERY sweet. I wasn't able to finish it. The coffee cake wasn't as cinnamony or flavorful as I'd hoped. But the baristas were very nice. I tried hanging out for a bit while waiting for my fiancé to wake up, but there was an overpowering smell of some kind of incense or essential oils, or something. A little would have been perfect, but the scent was SO suffocatingly strong that I couldn't stay long and really wanted to breathe fresh air (even with all of the front doors and windows completely open). I hope it was just an off day but I couldn't deal with it for too long.

Came in here looking for a place to sit down and work, couldn't have made a better decision. They had outlets pretty much everywhere to plug your computer in & the whole vibe in there is 5/5. Super dope how they have plants all throughout the place too. Will def come back, parking was hard to find but it's in the back by the empty parking lot (see attached picture)

I love this place! The lavender thyme is the best seasonal drink they have right now! Service is always 10/10 and I love all the plants the ambiance is so relaxing.

They recently hired a very knowledgeable barista who also provides excellent customer service, I believe her name is Rebecca and she is consistenly excellent at what she does. I wanted a Latte with half-half and honey (since a Breve is not on the menu) and she made a proper Breve for me with honey. I keep coming back for it because she makes it so well. Lately, the desserts have been better than previous visits as well! Particularly the Nut Bar which is akin to a Pecan Bar, except their nut bar has a varied assortment of nuts on it which is delicious and the bar itself is very soft and huge, I actually got it for around $1.50 because after 3pm all the sweets are half off! Well worth it, I wish I bought all the Nut Bars they had that day, because that's a great price. Another large, soft, and perfect dessert I had here recently was the Orange Meringue Bar which had a moist graham layer, orange custard filling, and fluffy meringue topping! With the half off after 3pm sale, and their new barista Rebecca, I'm most definitely a loyal customer.

Locally owned coffee shop with great ambiance - music, seating, vibe - and some of the best coffee and lattes we've ever had.

This is one of my favorite coffee places in Phoenix. The coffee is great in my opinion. It's a cute shop, light-filled, lots of plants. Very friendly staff.

The best vanilla honey latte in phoenix. Prices are the best for what you get, and the service I have received is warm, welcoming and very inviting. Great seating, plants everywhere, and its nice and cold. 10/10 would recommend. 12 or 16 oz drinks, and the espresso is quality.

Fun location and good study spot. Kind baristas and good coffee and pastry selection. One time, we had a chat with a barista who talked to us about the Superstition Mountains and gave us advice that saved our lives. Thank you, Giant Coffee!

My friend and I stumbled upon this cute little local coffee shop when we were trying to find coffee shops that were walking distance from the art museum! It was a super close 5-minute walk. The inside was really aesthetic and cute! There were little plants on the tables. The barista was super nice, so I'm definitely giving points for good customer service! I ordered an iced honey vanilla latte. It was honestly just sweet enough to where I like it but not too sweet! There's plenty of seating inside, and it looks like it'd be a good place to study.

I will never come here again. The service from the one barista working was so incredibly rude. It explains why there was hardly anybody here on a weekend.

Almost reluctant to write this because this is my secret spot. Beautiful building with fantastic coffee and just a great place to relax. I would go everyday if my bank account would allow it. Keep up the great work Giant you are a godsend to the neighborhood!

love love love this place! not only is the ambiance perfect, but the coffee is amazing! The barista is super friendly and gave us all the info we needed to feel right at home. We got two honey vanilla lattes and they are the best lattes I've ever had! just the right amount of coffee to sweetness ratio. Can't wait to come back next week!

Been here 3x and have never been satisfied. First time Espresso machine was down (understandable) but these most recent 2 visits were unacceptable. Not only is the coffee just alright AT BEST, the service is always terrible. I have seen several other reviews mentioning rude baristas and I've had the same experience... no greeting, preparing 3 orders before mine for people who walked in after me, monotoned / short replied answers. Honestly disgusted that we spent $17 on 2 mediocre latte's and bs service, hopefully they make some changes as the location itself is actually really nice.

Cute, quiet spot to grab a cup of coffee and get some studying done with parking in the back. Always love coming here!

Amazing space I love the dark wall where there's a guitar hanging. I came on a rainy afternoon and I got a hot chocolate - it tasted perfect! The music is very calm. I will be back for sure.
