La Taza

While exploring new coffee spots near Santan Village, I discovered this hidden gem. If you're driving around trying to find it, you won't spot it right away. Park your car, take a short walk near the Forever 21 store, and you'll see the entrance.I tried their matcha latte with a touch of sweetness, and it was perfectly balanced. The service is superb friendly and the drink was fast and delicious.The shop itself is small, with only a few tables and chairs to sit at while waiting. The interior is styled a barbershop, giving it a unique vibe that's different from the typical coffee shop, yet still warm and inviting.

A Latin inspired coffee shop?! Say less. Since it was Mexican Independence Day, I was looking for well- a Mexican owned coffee shop to support & I'm so happy I decided to give this place a try.Situated inside The Collab salon suites, this place is hidden & may be tricky for some to find. Upon entry, I was immediately greeted by the male employee-possibly owner? who was very friendly. I decided on the Tres Leches Latte large iced w/ oat milk. And LET ME TELL YOU!! This coffee was incredibly delicious and offered all the flavors I would expect in this drink.My latte had flavors of Ibarra- an authentic Mexican chocolate similar to "Abuelita" chocolatè. Topped with whip cream & cinnamon this drink was IT. I typically have to travel out of my way to Phoenix to get coffee like this...but not anymore! Everything on the menu sounded great and deciding what to get is the hard part! This drink was part of their summer menu offerings but I really hope they add it to their fall menu. I can't wait to come back & try out more of their specialty drinks.

La Taza is the cutest little shop! It's tucked away inside the collab (visible from the walkway!!) the waiting area is adorable and very clean. The menu has some really creative options. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner while I was there. Extremely polite & you could just tell he was passionate about the business. We talked about upcoming exciting events at the shop & I can't wait to attend!!I requested his favorite latte and I was NOT disappointed!! He made a blue agave iced latte - I've never had this flavoring. It was a sweet honey/simple syrup type flavoring. Extremely tasty!!I also got a brownie & it was so soft and tasty. I'm literally dreaming about getting. Another one. Thanks for the coffee suggestion & can't wait to come back to try some fall drinks!!

Stopped in here to grab a coffee when I was shopping with some friends while visiting Gilbert. Such a cute little spot to grab a coffee! Love that it's a local spot.There's not much to this spot, just basically would say it's a coffee bar so you can grab a drink and make your way out. The guy that took our order was super nice and friendly. I loved the little backdrop they had in here with the neon sign so of course had to take a photo. I think my friend even took one of her little girl in front of it. So cute!I ordered a vanilla iced latte with sugar free vanilla, which I was so glad they had. It was delicious and refreshing and did the trick to power me through the rest of the shopping trip and my day!Definitely recommend stopping in here to grab a coffee or tea!

I finally made it in to this coffee shop and I am so glad I did. I stopped by around 2:30pm with my sister and there was a small line forming with one barista working. She handled the line well and it was finally our turn to order after a few minutes of waiting in line. She kindly greeted us and thanked us for being patient.I had originally wanted to try out the "El Jefe" latte but when she told me it could only be made hot I decided to pass. I ended up settling for an iced Sugar Cookie latte with oatmilk and my sister tried out the iced Dos Leches latte with oatmilk. Total spent was $18, including a tip. We sat down and waited a few minutes for our lattes. When ready, the barista very nicely brought them out to our table. My latte had whip on top so I made sure to mix it in before taking a sip. The whip cream gave it a nice creamy texture, which I love. It was not too sweet, just right. My sister said her dos leches latte was ok but she wished it would've been a little more milkier as it was very strong. Overall we had a pleasant visit. I would come again.

Located in a strip mall, nice space. I ordered the dirty abuelita which was good. Not exactly what I expected, but good. I thought they may have actual food items, but was disappointed. They did have muffins and cupcakes though. I can't lie. I had higher expectations and was disappointed. The staff was great though! I suppose my expectations were higher than the reality.

Such a cute and aesthetic coffee shop. It is located between Forever 21 and Wetzel's Pretzel's.Order: Iced / Salted Caramel Latte. Had to have a substitution for the milk since I'm lactose intolerant lol but since they don't have Soy milk, I went with Almond milk instead. It was either that or Oat milk. Def recommend stopping by to get some coffee.

I absolutely love their menu. And the quality of the coffee is also top tier.Definitely try any of their lattes. And their pastries!The only thing is, you'll need to park nearby and walk a bit as it's located inside a shared space of this shopping center. Also, plenty of Instagram-worthy backdrops for coffee/food pictures.

Stopped by La Taza while shopping at San Tan Village. La Taza is location in the lobby of The Collab, an upscale salon suite collaborative. The Collab is situated right next to Forever 21, near Harkins Theatre.I was greeted by a lovely barista upon entering. I asked a few questions about their offerings, but ultimately decided on my go-to, oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon powder. Though the delectable looking pastries were tempting, I resisted. My latte was ready in about five minutes and tasted wonderful. No complaints.There's a few tables as well as bar seating in the lobby. Seems like a good spot to take a break from shopping.

We stopped here because of the impressive yelp reviews and might have missed it had I not read the reviews. It is near the theaters and tucked into an area by a hair salon. The day we were here they had a cute black bike with "La Taza" printed on it out front. They have a few tables and chairs to sit at as well as chairs at the bar which is cute. It was very clean and bright inside and Andre greeted us warmly when we walked in. Prices are clearly posted at the front. They have a few snack options as well- big cookies and pastries. They offer multiple milk choices like almond, oat, and 2% and I really appreciated that they have lavender syrup. We all loved our drinks as they came out exactly as we wanted. My lavender latte was smooth and delicious. La Taza is a winner.
