We hear from customers every day about what Cartel Roasting Co. means to them. Reading through recent reviews reminded me why we built this company in the first place.

People talk about the coffee first. One customer described their latte as “nice and strong with the perfect amount of foam – so smooth and satisfying.” Another chose a dark roast pour over, describing it as “very smooth flavor,” and noted that after visiting four coffee shops in Tempe, Cartel Roasting Co. was the best.

What strikes me most is how often people mention the experience beyond the cup…. 

  • The friendly baristas who don’t rush you
  • The inspiring spaces to spread out
  • The fact that we make our locations feature handmade touches and interesting material choices like hot rolled steel and dark walnut.

One regular wrote something that captures what we’re building:

“Cartel Roasting Co. is one of my go-to spots, and I find myself stopping by often. Each location has its own vibe while still feeling consistent.”

That consistency matters. Whether someone visits our Ash Ave location or stops by Scottsdale, they know what to expect. Great coffee, welcoming spaces, and an atmosphere where they can work, meet friends, or just sit with their thoughts.

When you invest in Cartel Roasting Co., you’re supporting cafés that people genuinely love and return to regularly. Coffee brings people in. The experience keeps them coming back.
