This was my first time visiting this place. The prickly pear hot tea with lemon caught my attention and I went for it. You probably think that I'm crazy to say this, but I'm so glad that the tea wasn't burning hot! This was when I only gave it a 5-minute steep time. I finally didn't burn my tongue! I was there for about 2 hours. While there were many groups there mingling and playing card games, I found a high top with solo seating and I didn't feel disturbed at all while reading. I had a great time reading there.I saw the other menus with food and alcohol, and I can't wait to go back already!

I came across this place on accident the other day when I was trying find a different coffee shop, and I'm so glad I did! It is located in the Newton plaza, which also has some other restaurants around. Parking is available, but it's not a huge lot. This book store had a wide variety of books as well as gifts, and other unique items. They also have a bar that serves coffee drinks and alcoholic drinks. There was a cooler with seltzers and beer for purchase too! I tried the Bluberry Matcha for Sal and it was delicious! They make their own syrups and the blueberry one was very tasty. Definitely on the sweeter side, I would probably ask for less syrup next time, but so delicious! Mia was very helpful, and also let me sample the White Mocha Latte Ale they had on draft. It was very unique and flavorful. I also talked to Peter at the Changing Hands area of the store and learned about their book buy back program. I'm thrilled to have learned about this spot and can't wait to come back soon! Highly highly recommend!

Been here twice visiting friends in the area ('m from another state) and feel in love with this place immediately. Great concept and will implemented. Affixed to the Changing Hands book store, this has a bar and other drinks and treats. A pleasure to enjoy a chat or a read while getting a beverage in this room seating area or at the bar. I'll be back every time I am in town!

Such a cool establishment with coffee shop, bookstore, restaurant, and cafe. White mocha latte was delicious. The Commons is a great study spot, but unfortunately we had to clear the space a little early on a Sunday so they could use the space for trivia.

Such a great place. It's an automatic like for me when a coffee shop exists within a bookstore, but especially one as awesome as Changing Hands. I cannot personally speak to their cocktails and beers, but their coffee and tea are phenomenal and their pastries are legit. I highly recommend the iced orange mocha and also their orange poppyseed muffin.

This place is amazing and perfect for every mood or occasion. Happy? Extend that feeling with shopping around like minded bookworms. Sad? Wear the hoodie, grab a drink, and shop for books that will life your spirits? First date? Trade off on ordering your favorite drinks then recommend books to each other. Every time I go to Phoenix I make it a point to come here for books, gifts, and food and wine and am so happy this place exists. The prices are fair, the workers are friendly, the selections are well curated and organized, local artists sell their wares for decent prices, and the food and drink selections are on point. I cannot say enough about this spot, go try it out and make today a good day!

Such a great environment to work and enjoy great food/snack and drinks. The staff is pretty friendly as well. The best part it's also connected to a bookstore so if you need a well needed break it's a great spot to look around and find trinkets.

The coffees great, the service is excellent and the ambience is perfect to read or work on your laptop. You can find a great book, buy it and read it right in the same spot. Been coming here a couple times and will always come back to hang out with a coffee and read my books.
