Welcome to Charlie's Cafe, a beloved gem nestled in the heart of Tempe, AZ. This charming cafe is the perfect spot for coffee aficionados and casual diners alike, offering a range of delightful standard drinks that cater to diverse palates. Whether you're stopping by for a quick morning pick-me-up or settling in for an afternoon chill, Charlie's provides a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels like a second home.

Step inside and revel in the rich, aromatic scents wafting through the air as skilled baristas craft beautiful cups of espresso, espresso macchiatos, and cinnamony cappuccinos. The signature Caffe Mocha and Caffe Latte are well-loved choices here, perfect for that indulgent treat you deserve. For those seeking a cozy alternative, the drip coffee and organic tea selections are equally commendable, offering comforting sips that warm the soul.

But it’s not just about the drinks; make sure to try the cucumber mint lemonade, which one satisfied customer, Shelli Wright, described as "very refreshing." And if you’re looking for some solid bites, keep an eye out for their limited hot breakfast menu—the offerings may not be extensive, but they promise to satisfy your cravings with mouthwatering flavors. Just a heads-up from Nathan Hower, however: the photos of the scrambled eggs may not match your expectations. But don’t let that deter you from trying the fantastic sandwiches that have garnered rave reviews!

The atmosphere at Charlie's Cafe is undeniably friendly, with staff known for their welcoming demeanor that enhances your dining experience. The cafe is not just a place to eat; it's a community hub where students and locals mingle over delicious coffees and hearty bites. It's the kind of place that invites you to linger a little longer, catching up with friends or indulging in a good book.

Overall, Charlie's Cafe is more than just a stop for caffeine; it's a delightful experience enriched by friendly service and quality offerings. If you're in the area, make sure to drop by, grab a drink, and soak in the warm atmosphere that keeps patrons coming back for more!

Don’t tip here. The students working here don’t receive the money. Also the photos of scrambled eggs are misleading. Hot breakfast menu is limited.

Staff was very friendly. Sandwich was tasty, and the cucumber mint lemonade was very refreshing.
