Excellent family owned establishment. They sell both coffee and chocolate. They roast their own coffee, and make their own chocolate.At the front is the coffee bar where you can sample their coffees and chocolates. In the back, are the roasters, office, and areas where they make everything. They were kind enough to provide a tour. The Midge Coffee Spread was delicious (coffee + cocoa butter). You mix it into hot milk or hot water and it's lovely and smooth. I also got the Cortez Primo Coffee Drops which were like coffee chocolate bon bons, very delicious, and 1 = a cup of coffee.Thank you Ron & Judith for a lovely visit!

Our Southwest flight was canceled so I quickly Yelped a nearby coffee place after a quick trip to Papago Park. This place is awesome! Ron, the owner, was very knowledgeable about all things coffee. It was a great way to end our Arizona trip and make the drive back to California. We ended up buying 2 cups of coffee, the garbanzo bean spread, the coffee spread, and two kinds of cacao nibs LOL. The garbanzo bean spread was my favorite :) We were caffeinated for our drive thanks to Cortez Coffee :)

Custom Coffee Roaster Ron Cortez has been in the coffee business for some time! Very good wholesale and retail coffee. We chatted about chasing the perfect cup of coffee for hours. He has both coffee and Chocolate and some teas. Plus beautiful porcelain pour over coffee makers. A nice coffee/espresso bar, very enjoyable experience!

Patrick and his father run a great shop, featuring Costa Rican and many other varieties of beans. Patrick gave us a nice tour of the roasting facilities, followed by tasting of a few different coffees (as pourovers).The team here is passionate and incredibly talented - from roasting and brewing, to chocolate and even photo-magazines.Definitely check out some of their coffees, and see if you can spot the La Marzocco car. We'll be ordered their beans for delivery in the near future!

What can I say about this lovely place. It's not just some coffee stop to get a coffee fix then go about your day. There is more to it than that. It's a community surrounded by sweet people who love what they do. The owner and the people who work there put a smile on your face every sip you take. I enjoy a good cup of any sort of lattes, cold brews, hot teas, and many cups of coffee. I love the intoxicating aroma that fills a room on any type of day, I am having. Today, I was just my sleepy self exploring something new to try. I fell in love with the kindness I was received and the knowledge of how this cute place became to be. I enjoyed their free bananas I was offered. I will definitely put them to use. I also enjoyed their homemade chocolate. It's amazing!!! Just do yourself a favor and go try it for yourself.

Loved the charm of a little coffee shop but particularly love when the owners have a passion for coffee! This is a well kept secret!

This is the hole-in-the-wall of all hole-in-the-walls! It's the coziest little coffee roastery that's literally just a shelf of things they sell and a couple seats by the counter. There's some donated books you can check out (and add to), plus some super cool art all over the walls. Costa Rican father and son team, Ron and Patrick, were so cool and gave me an oat milk latte on the house. It was one of the finest lattes I've ever had - initially sour and rich and then smooth and bitter. They get their beans from Cameron and even showed me a magazine of photos of their farm there. They do free coffee tastings and roastery tours on Saturdays 10-4, so I'm going to return and check it out. They told me not to tell people about Cortez Coffee (maybe jokingly!) because they want to stay a hidden hole-in-the-wall, but I just had to give them five stars because they made my day!

I have purchased multiple roasts from Cortez; however, recently i purchased the Roaster Blend and it was the worst blend I have ever tried. I opened the bag and noticed the beans smelled burned. After grinding, the smell intensified. Brewed a few cups for my friends and myself... we all dumped the burned tasting coffee after a few sips.I will continue to purchase Cortez coffee, except for the Roaster blend. Total waste of money.
