The Coffee Shop is unassuming at first approach. One you have a taste of the food and libations, you'll nod in agreement. The Coffee Shop is good.
Located in a small shopping destination, you'll enter through doors on either side and find the counter to grab a menu and place your order. A number will be handed to you and you'll find a variety of seating options.
Do you like patio seating? They've got it
Table for Two? Sure
Larger group, maybe studying or business meeting? They can accommodate.
Whatever your seating needs, I'd say they've got it.
What did I order?
- Cookie Butter Latte 4/5
- The Boss Panini on Sourdough 5/5
I had just finished a business meeting with a neighboring business and a hankering for a good latte and a bite. My client said, "I've got just the spot, order The Boss, and no matter which latte you have, you won't be disappointed"
Break it down:
- Cookie Butter Latte is something I've not yet seen on any other cafe menu and so I had to try it. The coffee shop baristas prepared it very well. Balanced and flavorful on all notes.
- The Boss. A simple sandwich of the most elementary of ingredients. Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, sourdough etc etc... all the more reason to give The Coffee Shop the highest praise. When you have something so straight forward, it's the assembly and the quality of the ingredients, also the balance. The bread was so nice, toasted just right, with each bite, holding together all the layers. No chance for a mess, and no chance for any bite to miss any opportunity for full flavor. Proportionately distributed turkey to bacon to cheddar and mayo. Either it was a luck of the draw or the kitchen is just that damn good . Possibly, the most impeccably prepared sandwich I've had all year.
Why only 4 stars? Well, the wait time was a little long. Talk about nearly 20 minutes from sitting down with my latte till the sandwich came out.
Would I come back? Absolutely. I highly recommend to anyone in Gilbert. In my book, when you talk about a coffee shop, The Coffee Shop is the best game in town.
