Cartel Roasting Co.

Cartel Coffee in Tempe is a nice, cozy spot that clearly has a loyal local following. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and a good place to sit for a while or catch up with friends. The staff seemed friendly, and the shop has a cool, relaxed vibe that fits the Tempe area well. That said, the coffee itself was disappointing. I ordered a honey lavender Americano with a splash of milk, but it had no flavor at all. I could not taste any honey or lavender, and it just felt like a regular cup of coffee with nothing special about it. The drink was fine enough to finish, but definitely not worth the price or the hype. Overall, it is a nice place to hang out, but the coffee needs more flavor and attention to detail. I got the caffeine fix that I needed I guess

Wow is all I could say. I always get a breve latte and most of the time they are mediocre at best. This was excellent and had to go 5 stars on it. I will return for sure. Highly recommend!

Super chill vibes for this coffee shop : atmosphere is low key with some cool music . Lots of people in the front working so you get your order pretty quick . We just started off with a Cappuccino- they know how to make a ☕️ coffee . It was delicious !

I had a latte there it was perfect. Served in a proper coffee cup in house- right balance of flavor. The ambience and service was on point

Vibey low key chill coffee spot with good beats and good coffee. Friendly crew working and made some killer espresso. Great spot in Scottsdale to hit before the crowds get going on a quiet slow morning. Would go back in a heartbeat.
