Best Pastries in Tempe Town Lake

"We had a hard time picking a favorite Cartel Coffee location — after all, the roaster has built a small empire in metro Phoenix and Tucson, and each of the shops has a unique feel to fit its neighborhood and surroundings. Each of Cartel’s locations are great in their own way, but we’re particularly partial to the downtown Phoenix locale, and we've always been thrilled with our coffee drinks here. Fun decorations, including a wall partition made of bicycle wheels and a colorful, low-hanging chandelier, make the space’s open design and sleek, industrial interior a bit more welcoming."

"A post shared by Cartel Coffee Lab (@cartelcoffeelab) on Jul 1, 2020 at 12:35pm PDT. Cartel Coffee Lab is a coffee roasters and cafe chain with seven branches altogether, five of which are in the greater Phoenix area. Their flagship coffee shop in Tempe, at 810 S Ash Ave, is Cartel’s first branch and is also their roastery."

"You’ll know that your drink was carefully curated at Cartel — with each roast hand-selected by a green buyer. Grab a fresh-baked pastry or grab-and-go lunch at the coffee shop on the corner of Washington and First streets next to Kaleidoscope Juice."

"Located on 5th Ave. in Scottsdale, Cartel Coffee Lab is one of Arizona’s most respected coffee companies. They boast 5 or 6 locations around the state, and roast their own coffee. They don’t roast coffee at this location, but instead roast at their Tempe shop."
