Whether you like your coffee black or prefer a sweet espresso beverage with all the fixings, a cup of joe is a sure way to kick off your morning and power you through your day. We’ve searched throughout Chandler, AZ to find the best coffee shops and cafes, and we can confidently assure you that these spots are the best of the best.

1. Downtown Chandler Cafe and Bakery

Downtown Chandler Cafe and Bakery is our go-to downtown spot for top-quality baked goods and breakfast treats to pair with your coffee drink. Try a traditional cappuccino or a dirty chai if you’re an espresso fan, or enjoy a Mango Mania or Extreme Peach smoothie for fruit-filled flavor. Frappe lovers should go for the Cookies ‘N Cream, Peppermint Mocha, Latte Freeze, or Coffee Toffee frozen and blended beverage.

Pair your morning drink with a treat from the pastry section such as a cinnamon twist, chocolate croissant, cheese danish, fresh fruit tart, or strawberry chocolate tart. If you prefer dessert, grab a slice of the cheesecake topped with mixed berries or a cupcake that comes in flavors including vanilla, strawberry, mocha, red velvet, and carrot cake. Stop by during breakfast for delicious Peach Cobbler Pancakes!

2. Wildflower

Wildflower is the ideal place for lovers of bread and baked goods to go with their a.m. coffee break. Hot coffee lovers should try the Wildflower Cappuccino with vanilla, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream, while fans of cold coffee will enjoy the Mocha Mania with espresso and chocolate milk. Be sure to check the seasonal menu for specialty breakfasts such as the Spicy Sausage & Swiss Frittata and various pies like the Blueberry Apple Crumb with brown sugar.

All bread is baked on-site daily using handcrafted ingredients, and regular slice choices include Caraway Rye, Friday Challah, Pasilla Chili Rye, Pretzel, and Sesame Paysanne Baguette. Treat yourself to a Blueberry Sour Cream or Pumpkin Chocolate muffin to accompany your coffee, or ask for a danish such as the Chocolate & Custard or the Maple Pecan. A Wildflower Dessert is a must, and we love both the Sea Salt Brownie and the Ultimate Chocolate Cake equally.

3. Black Rock Coffee Bar

Black Rock Coffee Bar has mastered the art of all forms of coffee drink, and they now offer a subscription service so you can enjoy top-quality espresso beans delivered directly to your doorstep. Choose between the citrusy Pearl Blend, the full-bodied Old Town Blend, or the smoky Steel Bridge Blend for your in-store or at-home drink. If you’re not a coffee drinker, go with a shaken iced tea or a hot chocolate.

You can’t go wrong with one of the premium espresso drinks such as the Caramel Blondie white mocha, the Blackout hazelnut mocha, the Jackhammer vanilla mocha, or the Mexican Mocha with cinnamon and almond. For customers who prefer to customize their drink, Black Rock offers blackberry, blueberry, banana, blue raspberry, cherry, coconut, grapefruit, kiwi, lavender, mango, peach, and pomegranate syrups along with alternative milk such as oat, soy, and coconut.

An espresso break, pastry stop, or morning meal at any of these coffee spots is sure to lift your mood and brighten your day. After you’ve savored your treat, stop by Earnhardt Chevrolet for vehicles, services, parts, and more!
