Title: "Pricey Java Fix" Rating: ⭐⭐ Review: I recently visited this coffee shop, and while the ambiance and quality of the coffee were good, but not exceptional. I couldn't help but feel a bit miffed by the prices. The coffee was good, no doubt, but the cost left a bitter taste in my mouth. Served in a wine glass, but not enough for $7+. I understand the importance of quality ingredients and a pleasant atmosphere, but this place took it a step too far. My wallet felt significantly lighter after a simple coffee outing, which made me question if it's worth the splurge. If you're willing to part with your hard-earned cash for a caffeine fix, it might be your cup of tea, but for those looking for a more budget-friendly option to get an actual to-go cup of coffee, you might want to explore other coffee joints in the area.

Hidden Track Cafe, conveniently located within walking distance of any part of Downtown Phoenix, is a must-visit spot. If you're looking for a quick and satisfying bite, I highly recommend trying their Chorizo España sandwich. The bread they use, sourced locally, is absolutely amazing and adds a delightful touch to the flavorful chorizo. While their coffee is fantastic, the true highlight of the cafe is the delicious selection of cheeses. Hidden Track Cafe is a perfect destination for those seeking a quick, delicious meal or a cheese lover's paradise. To top it off, next door they a wine store to pair with your cheeses.

We found this hidden gem on a whim and so very happy we did. Their knowledge of their products is backed by their passion for delighting the palate. From the moment we stepped in we were greeted with warmth and the service was above and beyond, even taking the time to preslice the purchased salami for our spontaneous date in the park. We were guided in our purchases to create the perfect impromptu picnic containing savory meats, the perfect variety of rich and flavorful cheeses, accompanied by a splash of acidity from pickles, and finished with a well balanced sweet and bitter dark chocolate. The delicious bites were paired with a lovely bottle of Julien Thurel Cidre from their sister company Hidden Track Bottle Shop.

Customer service is severely lacking. Yesterday I went in wanting a decaf coffee with soymilk. They were out of decaf coffee and said they could make it as an Americano instead. It's usually $2.50 but they charged me $4.50. If you're out of something you should charge for what the customer WANTED, not what you had to substitute. Then today I went in and they gave me steamed soymilk in a cup to add decaf to. Two squirts of the carafe and the decaf was empty. I told them and their response was "oh...sorry." I left with 2/3 of a cup of coffee, annoyed. I will not be back. I suggest just going to Starbucks down the street. At least they'll correct or re-make your order if it's not right!

The Hidden Track Café & Bodega is an adorable downtown cafe in Phoenix. I went with my mother, who enjoyed the Beatles covers and the slightly over-the-top posh atmosphere. She loved her lavender lemonade, while I enjoyed my very "lukewarm" coffee with bread and butter. Despite my coffee being cold, it had the right notes of complexity, reminding me of chocolate. The bread, while acceptable, tasted a little stale. A dollop of jam would've perked the bread up, but they do not offer jam with the bread, which is disappointing. The location also has an accompanying wine store one can purchase bottles from.

Every time that I come here I am happily surprised. There are often new, DELICIOUS, food items and always good coffee. To top it all off the folks behind the counter are real and provide witty and friendly convo. Today I had the green chili breakfast burrito which was outstanding and my usual cold brew, no sugar, no cream. The atmosphere was very pleasant and now there is a patio to sit an read on. I also like to utilize the adjacent lobby to relax and mentally prepare for my day. Thank you to the owners and staff for always being awesome. Keep up the good work. This this place and its peoples and wares definitely make ones day better. :)

I have to say this place is a hidden gem! The service here is immaculate and the coffee was as well. I got a dirty chai latte and it was absolutely the best i’ve ever had in town. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect spot. You won’t be disappointed! The owner and the baristas are amazing. Hands down the best local coffee I have tried in Phx.

3/26/22: Like all the reviews stated, this place is warm and charming. Greeted with the best smile and the cold brew was perfect. It got me through a night of filming with energy to spare. There’s a cute bar in the back with a wine selection and more. I’ll be back with friends in the future. Very cool spot with all the right design choices.

I stop by here several times a week and order coffee and breakfast. The baristas and workers here are all incredibly friendly, caring and helpful. I enjoy catching up with them each time I stop in and they all greet me and smile every time I walk through the door! Awesome people and they have the best local coffee and quick breakfast in the downtown area!

This is such a great cafe :) We stopped by for a quick espresso. We had our three kids with us but the employees didn’t give the disapproving look even when I couldn’t get my order out straight lol We had espresso, dirty chai teas and a blueberry muffin. So tasty, all of it. They had a great seating area outside, even though it was a little warm out, that corralled the kids in while we relaxed a minute. Just the kind of place we always search for. Thank You!!

Stopped in while walking the dogs for a delicious Mexican cold brew. I highly recommend it if you haven't tried it yet - chocolate and cinnamon notes always leave me craving for more. The young lady saw me attempting to tie up my 4 legged pack and came out offering to serve me on the patio. She later came out and brought some water for the dogs. What a great local business! Service and snacks are top notch. I highly recommend checking them out.

Quaint café with a great location. Small variety of high-quality teas and coffees. Large variety of breakfast and lunch dishes. The iced chai latte here is one of the best caffeinnated drinks I've ever tried. The chorizo espana was really good as well. Staff is charismatic and accommodating. You can rent out the patio space for events.

Reminds me of the early days of the original Postino... Lovely wines. Some nice bites and a chill relaxed experience. Will definitely be back. Great spot to beat the heat.

Amazing coffee and atmosphere! Some of the employees were a little short and aggitated with me but it could've been a bad day for them or something. My mocha was fantastic and their espresso is great! If you are in search of outlets you'll have a hard time as well though so beware if you're trying to do homework!

This place was overpriced and you are treated as if you are going to steal the condiments or sneak a refill of coffee. You must pay for regular coffee refills. It was crazy! I do not recommend this cafe... unfortunately, I did have hope that it was going to be a great new spot. Didn't turn out that way at all!

A downtown anchor. Lots of effort is put into their craft. Straight traditional coffee offerings and sizes. Excellent house chai and flavor infused cold brews. Don't sleep on the food! Sandwiches, burritos, pastries and even unique coconut spheres that seem made for the keto kids. Hope they never go away.

Hidden Track Cafe is everything you would expect from the good people who brought you Hidden Track Bottle Shop right next door. Quality wares and the most impeccable customer service imaginable. Grab a cup of the Cafe Mexicana while you're there, and say hello to Craig and Danielle for me!

Get a cappuccino and cuban. Sit outside. Sweat. Enjoy your meal. Look at tall buildings and other hot people. Don't care, because your meal is so good.

Best coffee in Phoenix. I love their cold brew and lattes. They do something will a slow drop process that removes the bitterness. Also love their green chili burrito. Love this spot. And for a city spot, the parkings not bad. Spots right out front. Also love their cheese plate.

Cozy place. Outdoor seating. Cashier was okay. Server was friendly. Chai wasn't bad and wasn't great either. Really like all the tin food options.

Not only a cafe but they sell amazing cheeses and next door an incredible wine shop. Buy a bottle and some cheese they will make u a plate. They also have great coffee no doubt. I prefer the wine myself. Pastrys great all the food amazing great place anytime of day.

Stellar find, with great local smiles running the place. Quaint, yet somehow upscale just enough to be enjoyed but not snobby. A nice n warm Grilled cheese sandwich, w/hot tomato soup on this chilly winter day (has dropped into the 50's today), hit the spot!

Very cute coffee shop and great sandwiches!

I came here while visiting Phoenix. I pick this because of great reviews but I feel disappointed when I arrive. It is a tiny area. Also I ordered croissants and cinnamon roll and they reheated in the microwave which made the bread hard …

The food was delicious and fresh. The staff was friendly and the Cafe was very clean. Cute dine in area!

Most Amazing coffee in Phx, and the service is out of this world!! Beth, Sydney and Jeffery are so fun and friendly, they are by far the best ingredient in the perfectly brewed cup that they call Hidden Track Cafe

My new favorite coffee house in downtown Phx! Very good cold brew coffee and selection of flavors. In the lobby of cool building. Didn't try the food yet but was eyeing the black bean burrito with quinoa

This was my first time coming here. Upon me coming in the door I was greated right away. The staff here is very nice and professional indeed. I will be coming back here on a regular bases.

This is my work coffee shop and it's always perfect. Good coffee, delicious food, friendly staff.

Kinda cliche but this place introduced me to the world of craft coffee and the idea that black coffee can taste really, really good. Their wine shop is also worth checking out

It is very nice! The server was friendly and knowledgeable and most importantly the coffee was great. I only had a drip coffee but they seemed to have many options available

I’d give more starts for service. Great patio, great coffee, great ambience and our server was super kind and friendly.

I visit this place Monday-Friday. In short, all the staff members are engaging and excellent in the preparation of espresso beverages. Special props to Liz, Reed, and Nick.

Great place to treat yourself to some wine and cheese. Great local selection of local beer wine. Off the beaten path too. Owners are amazing and love supporting this gem

I love this tucked away coffee shop. From tasty "Coco cocoballs" a delightful mocha coconut treat to well roasted beans and a friendly staff, this joint rocks

The chai latte is really good, very neat spot in downtown to get coffee

Very cool coffee shop in the heart of downtown. Staff are SUPER nice and welcoming. Amazing baked goods and coffee. Very chill spot to hang out in.

Been there a few times now and the food and service has been awesome. Totally recommend the grilled cheese with avacodo and chorizo . …

Excellent cold brew coffee, using a one-drop-at-a-time brewing method. Pleasant and comfortable patio in mid-day shade. Friendly baristas.

Best little chill spot in downtown Phoenix,,,super nice staff,,,great wine and foodtry their coffee also,,i love this place …

Wonderful cafe where they are super knowledgeable about food, wine, and coffee. They also have a bunch of great specialty foods for sale.

Great little local shop. Staff is friendly and service was decent. They were out of most things. But what they did have was great

I’m obsessed with the food and coffee at this place . Get the Mexicana coffee and a chocolate croissant. You can thank me later

Fantastic little cafe..1st time visit definitely will be back. The Ethiopian coffee is the best. Nice peeps and great service..

Great coffee and treats. Friendly and welcoming workers. Makes me want to go more often and I don't even really drink coffee.

Excellent coffee! One of the best I have tried in Pheonix. Also, the staff is very warm and friendly. It was an easy 5 star.

Love stopping by to pick up some cool cheeses to go with my wine from Hidden Track's wine club.

Great selection of natural wine. Ask for Craig. Grab a bottle and get a cheese plate at the cafe.

Excellent coffee and food and the best Barristas in the business. It is a great hang out.
