    A total gem in a seemingly run down shopping plaza. This place is cozy, quaint and full of charm and character. I felt like I was in the middle of a trendy neighborhood district in San Francisco as opposed to the barren shopping plaza I actually parked in. My hubs and I arrived at 8:30am on Sunday morning for our monthly brunch and placed our orders also immediately. There were a handful of patrons but we managed to find a table easily. Plus, the patio outside has more tables where you can sit with your four-legged friend (bonus points!) and enjoy the weather.

    We waited about 10 minutes before our food arrived. I ordered The OMG sandwich which sounded so interesting I couldn't NOT try it. It included prosciutto, marscapone and figs on a tasty ciabatta bread. I was delighted with my sandwich. Yes, I said "delighted" because it was that great of an experience for me. I don't even like sandwiches usually....really, ask my husband! He had the Early Bird sandwich which he said was absolutely delicious. His only complaint was that it was small on the portion size and he could have eaten two more of those things. We were both quick to point out though that we could have gone to Denny's if we wanted quantity and mass production. This place has high quality ingredients and gourmet concoctions. We will definitely be going back!

    This place apparently is also great for some evening drinks so we look forward to seeing it in that type of setting too.

    I got a large Americano to go from this place. Price is about right, coffee was good. Better than Bucks, but to me, everything there is burnt.

    I didn't order food, but many things looked good and the pastries looked great. The service was good, a bit slow. But you know, they used espresso machines where you didn't just push buttons and stuff came out. So, that happens.

    My only complaint was that inside the cafe it was hot. I'm sure the air hadn't kicked in yet.

    I'll head back.

    Delicious food, delicious drinks, wonderful customer service, and reasonable prices. I've been through Phoenix twice and I must confess that 32 Shea is one of my two favorite restaurants in the greater Phoenix area.

    There was a chance that I would have to move to Phoenix for work in the next year or so, but I've been accepted elsewhere. 32 Shea was one of those places that made me slightly regret my decision. For anyone visiting Phoenix, it's a must-eat place. For anyone who lives in the Phoenix area, shame on you for not trying it sooner.

    It's not a rowdy place. It was relatively quiet and relaxing when we were there. There was a cute and charming ambiance. I'll probably be driving through Phoenix again in May and I will definitely stop by this place at least once.

    Hey all! I wanted to write in because my hubby and I moved close by 32 Shea and just love it - the food, wine, the dark but cozy atmosphere and even the service. I don't understand the reviews that go on about the servers having poor attitudes. We've never felt a negative vibe. On the contrary, the servers and owner know our names and even our baby's name. It's so great to have a place that's not the typical chain in your neighborhood. I recommend 32 for sure!

    Definitely a gem of a place, any Nutella fan would love their Mocha with Nutella (the iced is just as amazing as it is hot). I've eaten the Early Bird sandwich twice for breakfast and enjoy it (it's a great portion size). My friends and I ate on the patio and it's awesome for people who like to bring their dogs! A neighborhood friendly place, and it's one of my favorites. I like their bruschetta for dinner too... and of course the Nutella Marscapone Cheesecake for dessert... Mmmm. Their staff is super busy on Saturday mornings, and can get busy during dinner times too, but they are friendly and nice.

    Found this place on Yelp after searching for a light breakfast/lunch before heading over to Paradise Valley Mall. 32 Shea is located in the middle of a barren shopping center a few blocks off the 51.

    I went for the Early Bird Sandwich and a large cappuccino. The portion size was perfect, all of the ingredients tasted fresh, and it was priced well at $4.50. I loved the cappuccino, but next time I have to try the mocha with nutella.

    Attention tea-drinkers: there is no black iced-tea, only green. My mom wanted black iced-tea, and had them make one of the premium loose-leaf black teas and pour it over ice. I'm not sure what the brand was, but the tea tasted amazing! A little expensive if you're used to standard iced black tea.

    We ate on the patio with our pup. Nice ambience, you almost forget you're in the middle of a parking lot. If I lived closer, this place would become one of my regular breakfast spots.

    Fun little place!

    We went on a weeknight with our pooch and it was surprisingly busy. I love how they renovated and decorated the place. They have a beautiful patio area. It's nice inside but a bit cramped. A loooong time ago it used to be a coffee shack that I used to go to before I went to high school down the street. Definitely a nostalgic area!

    We started out with the bruschetta and some wine. Wine was decent and the bruschetta was awesome. I was a bit disappointed with the portion of the bruschetta though. I'm used to Postinos board of bruschetta with the same price but twice as big. Barely enough for 2 people to share.

    We both ordered the entree of the moment which was a shrimp pasta dish, sans shrimp for me. It was delicious. The sauce was so creamy and garlicky. The portion was perfect. However the price isn't listed on the menu and I didn't think to ask. It was a little pricey for a cafe type of environment.

    Service was warm and friendly. They were great with my dog which always wins brownie points for me. The food did take a very long time to come out though. The bruschetta took about 40 minutes, entree about an hour. Long time for a weeknight.

    Overall we had a great time. I can't wait to come back and have a leisurely brunch with my hubby and pooch. The breakfast items look amazing (reasonably priced too!) and they have mimosas!

    I absolutely love 32 Shea. I work and live in the area and have fallen in love. My coworkers and I come here at least once a week for lunch. It's simple, quaint, good service, nice atmosphere, and the price point isn't bad at all. We sit on the patio and enjoy the sunshine while we eat our O.M.G. sandwiches - to DIE FOR! Jeff is the guy behind the register most days when we go - he's awesome!

    You might be surprised to learn where 32 Shea is located. It's in the parking lot of a strip mall that appears run down and deserted at the corner of 32nd Street and Shea Blvd. Prior to the 51 highway, this little section of town got quite a bit of traffic. However, since building the 51 not much traffic gets down to that corner - causing many of the businesses in the area to struggle the past 8 or so years. I'm hopeful that with the success of 32 Shea other businesses will follow suit: great service, good food and good atmosphere creates a successful business.

    Can't wait to see what's in store for 32 Shea. They're doing their own marketing, creating their own vibe and successful in their efforts so far!

    The food is always top notch and the so are the drinks.  Come to think of it so is the vibe and the service, so I guess that makes it a no brainer.  It has some constants on the menu that are all good and everyday there is a new entree which has always been awesome.  Go check it out, you won't regret it.

    The tea was so-so. Come in wanting something to eat but it took about 10 minutes for the woman to get off the phone in order to even take our order. By than, our hunger was becoming a stale taste in our mouth and we just ordered the tea and left.

    It seems promising enough but the initial impression is the one that lasts and needless to say, this initial impression was not a positive one unfortunately.

    My husband and I did not have a good experience here. I saw on the menu online that they have bruschetta, and so I was craving it for about a week. When we walked in, the place was small and very dark.  We seated ourselves, ordered waters, and looked over the menu. The waitress had a bit of a 'tude, and kept asking what drinks we wanted to order. Um, sometimes people just don't want to order a drink. Sue me. So we ordered a plate of bruschetta and the chicken salad to split. The bruschetta was so-so; not quite what I wanted. We got the salami and pesto, goat cheese and cranberry relish and feta, olive and tomato. They were a bit sparse with the toppings. The salad was actually very good, but I wish they used chunk chicken instead of sliced deli meat. Overall I will not be back. I will stick with Postino's.

    Love this place!  Bonus points 'cause it's in my hood.

    What's not to love about a 32 Shea?  Not just anyone can turn a vacant fast food restaurant in a strip mall parking lot into a top notch coffee shop.  But the awesome doesn't end there.  By day, they are a coffee shop that serves delicious food, has a full bar and some of the coolest, most fun baristas in the city.  By night, 32 Shea is the perfect place to grab a glass of wine and some amazing bruschetta, or the dinner of the day with an delicious craft beer or even a lavosh pizza and a mint lemon drop martini (holy yumminess).

    The homemade green salsa and bloody mary mix are not to be missed!

    **Friend 32 Shea on Facebook or follow them on Twitter to make sure you never miss out on the awesome daily deals they offer.  Another bonus is that you will always know what the dinner of the day is!

    The New Mexico bfast burrito w/o cheese, add basil - not bad for $5, although it's a bit on the small side.  The homemade green salsa is very good.  I'd love an option for more veggies.

    The espresso leaves a LOT to be desired, however.  It's an unusually light espresso roast, nothing memorable, a tad bitter.

    Very helpful and friendly servers/barista.  

    They were running a music class for toddlers on their patio on a Wed morning.  Cool.

    The drinks were pretty good; I had the dirty chai. The service, was the worst I've ever received.

    I felt extremely unwelcome and it took 10 minutes to make a couple drinks. During that time, the two people working behind the counter never looked at us and took their sweet time making the drinks.

    We considered leaving several times.

    I will not be going back.

    After driving past this place so many times and not even noticing it.  A  friend invited me to join them for a cup of joe, stating "you have to try 32 Shea, they have the best coffee ever!!"  

    I'm glad to say I found it and I've been back a couple of times since.  I'm not a fan of how they are set up with the order counter right at the front door, so when a lot of people are wanting a caffeinated beverage they have to squeeze in or wait outside.  

    The place is nicely decorated in everything IKEA, if you like that their stuff.  The service is OK, a bit stretched a times and could use more help to handle the rushes but they are very friendly bunch of baristas.

    The coffee is A-OK.  Better than at most "chain type" of places but not at the 4 or 5 star level.

    I have given this place two chances now. It has a great feel and is close to my home so I was hoping that it would be my new place for business and friend meetings. It has a bistro feel to it but doesn't want to be a friendly, hang out, bistro type of place. The staff is inattentive and rude. The food is decent but nothing special and I have to pay full price for an iced tea each time I want a refill. I try not to be cheap but that's $2.25 each time I fill up with plain old green tea. Perhaps the last straw was sitting in the patio area and watching the owner ask two people who had settled in with their two beautiful and well behaved dogs to move from a table with four chairs to a table with two when the place was nowhere near full. Then watching as she moved the umbrella that was shading our table back to another table almost knocking people and drinks over in the process.  This could be a great place but it needs a major attitude adjustment.

    I am in love with this place! It is small but has so much character. The menu is small but the items on it are done very well. The staff is very friendly and I noticed that they knew several customers by name. It is very comfortable with seating at the bar, table or on the patio. It is a great place to swing by after work for a quick drink and convo or dinner. I could see riding my beach cruiser here on the weekends with my dog in tow for an app and drink in the patio. This is a great place and much needed in this area. Well done!!!

    Coffee, Tea, Soda Pop, vodka PLEASE!  Yes, it is true; Josh is a rock star behind the bar and is super sweet to-boot. I was in the mood for something muddled and citrusy and his recommendations were spot on.  I really dig the vibe this little gem has to offer. It's intimate with a punch of coolness and although not an unfamiliar concept, they definitely deliver it in their own unique style. Great menu, various drink options, dog friendly, great staff and a drive up window....I like it. I like it a lot.

    Will return- Most def!

    I really liked 32 Shea! Kinda wish there was a place like this in my neighborhood. It's a really cute place in a pretty random location - smackdab in the middle of the parking lot of a strip mall (it used to be a drive through coffee shop). They've remade it into a cool, hip little spot and managed to fit quite a lot into a small space. There's an outdoor patio that they've surrounded with trees, which, once the weather cools off, will give the outside area a little more ambiance. Inside, there is a small bar and maybe eight 2 top tables (not the type of place to take large groups). Luckily we were able to get a table right away.

    32 Shea serves breakfast, lunch, drinks, and coffee (they have a drivethrough). I heard the coffee is excellent. We went there for happy hour and I ordered the Mint Lemon Drop Martini which might be one of my favorite drinks around! Very fresh and lemony. I also had the Shea Breeze (muddled pineapple, vodka, cranberry, soda, and lime). It was good, but I had already fallen for that lemon martini. My boyfriend enjoyed a couple of their local beers.

    We also had a few bruschettas: the salami/pesto/tomato, the proscuitto/marscarpone/figs/honey, and the mozzarella/tomato/basil. I'd say they're on par with the likes of postino's and I'd definitely order all three again. We also really enjoyed the roast beef sliders. A little horseradish and some good au jus.

    This place is a cute little cube in the middle of a sad, thrift store parking lot with a drive-thru liquor store. However, they've created a nice atmosphere that is somehow enjoyable.

    I went for "Happy Hour" and was shocked that their happy hour menu pricing was $9-$10 for a glass of wine! Made me wonder what their prices were normally? Yikes. There were no appetizers or food specials either. However, the place was packed, so apprently they don't need to offer attractive deals to get the after-work crowd.

    The service was completely overwhelmed and uninformed, but geniuine and sweet and I wasn't in a hurry so it was fine.

    This is likely a great place for coffee, lunch, etc. But I definitely won't be back for happy hour. There are just too many other places where I can get enjoy a drink after work without going into debt.

    A work associate asked to meet at this place - I had never heard of it.  It's located in a somewhat deserted strip mall. It definitely stands out though, with it's vibrant colors and proximity to 32nd Street. It has a quaint patio, although you do get a bit of street noise.

    So... I met my associate and to my delight, they also had a full bar (including a great selection of vino). I think the coffee / bar concept is a great and unique one - definitely worth a visit.  The staff and owners were very friendly too.

    Not sure about the food - only because I didn't order any.

    REVIEW UPDATE:

    Ok, I've been here many, many times since I first wrote my review, and the place just gets better and better.  Dinner is now regularly served, the outdoor patio is open, and the Baristas and Bartenders have clearly hit their stride.  Let us hope that Barista Jeff and Bartender Josh continue to rule the beans and the booze for many years to come.  These fellas are seriously at the top of their game, and extraordinarily personable.

    I originally complained a bit about my lattes being a tad too "wet" with milk, but those concerns have completely evaporated.   In fact, all coffee drinks (save one) are downright splendid, and I really appreciate the uniformity of quality I get from one day to the next.  The one and only coffee drink that lies south of perfection for me is the frozen/blended mocha-ish one.   I taste some granulation in there.  Its not unpleasant at all, but detracts from the smooth "blendiness" that one hopes to experience when buying a drink to stave off the imperial Phoenix summer sunshine.

    The place continues to avoid pretentiousness, trendiness, kitsch and gimmicks,  and that "institutional confidence" in their atmosphere and product is reflected in both their staff and service.  Now THAT is rare, and worth a trip from wherever you may be in the Valley!

    The prosciutto-fig-marscapone sandwich?  Yeah, that's really good.  Where's the button for 6 stars for that?

    Had an "A-OK" breakfast here after a charity walk a few weeks ago.  After all the rave reviews on yelp, and since we were in the area, we gave it a whirl.  Can't say I was wowed by anything, but it wasn't bad either.  I can see how sitting on the patio having some breakfast when the weather is nice would be cool, but for me, not worth the drive it would take to get here.

    I sampled the breakfast burrito and the croissant sandwich... both were good, but I like the sandwich more.  I had an iced chai tea, which was pretty darn good.  The Hubs had a coffee with no complaints.   All in all everything was "A-OK," but nothing life shattering...

    My wife and I just moved into the neighborhood west of 32 Shea. We have already been there 3 times in two weeks and it has become one of our staples. Excellent selection of wine and beer plus a 6a-6p Happy Hour. The food and desserts are delicious. I really like the bruschetta, roast beef sliders and Nutella cheesecake. Rebecca (sp?), the owner, is very friendly and fun. Highly recommended!

    This place is intimate and has a cute trendy vibe that adds a lot of flare to the neighborhood. We came here on a date night and had fantastic bruschetta, salad with awesome (pink) balsamic dressing and the dish of the day which was an enchilada. Large beer and wine selection as well as fun drinks. We ordered espresso with our gelato dessert and loved it so much we came back in the morning for coffee.
    I will be back here for sure!

    This has been consistently one of my favorite restaurants in the valley. They always have a consistant fresh menu - "The entre of the Moment".  Everything on the menu is good. I would recommend the "OMG" and any of their coffee's with Nutella.

    Love this place. I get my morning coffee here almost every day. The staff is wonderful. They remember my name every time I come and I have established a great relationship with all the employees. I highly recommend 32 Shea!

    I love locals.  I love anyone who will go through the trouble, and hard work, to open a place of business.  Let me tell you, seeing the condition of this building when my wife and I first moved into the neighborhood; the owners wanted to REALLY open this place because they had to put A LOT of work into it.  But, no surprise, it has paid off.

    First off, I am more of a tea (Chai, yum!) than a coffee person, so I can't speak to the taste of their coffee drinks, but they smell fantastic!

    My hot chai from here, is ALWAYS great.  Always hot, without being too hot, and has a consistent flavor each time.  

    The food (sandwiches, salads, and coming soon, soups) always look and smell very fresh.

    I have had the:

    Early Bird (Egg, Tomato, Avocado and Mayo on English muffin (with your choice of bacon or turkey)

    New Mexico Burrito (Egg, Potatoes, Cheese, Avocado, Bacon) and a side of homemade Green Salsa (not a lot of heat, which I like, but still very taste),

    Stacked Turkey (Tomato, Lettuce, Avocado, Provolone, Mustard+Mayo)

    I would recommend all three, and will recommend other foods too, as soon as I tear myself away from the above. :)

    I am looking forward to when they get to have beer/wine dinner events, and I don't want to forget to mention the retro Pepsi (in glass bottles!).

    Please visit this place, you will enjoy the pleasant interior, or gorgeous outdoor seating and the very reasonable prices too!

    I was very excited to discover this new coffee shop last Saturday!  A friend had suggested meeting there, and I mistakenly assumed it would be nested into the strip mall (in typical Phoenix fashion).  Instead, I was surprised to find this stand-alone structure in the parking lot of the NW corner of 32nd St. and Shea.  

    You can tell just by pulling up that this place is cool:  contemporary and fun signage, an intimate little patio, and bowls of water set out for dogs to enjoy.  Further indoor signals of this place's cool factor and unique character:  coffee drinks with Nutella (file that under "why didn't I think of that??"), a fantastic music playlist that reminded me of the Garden State soundtrack, day-old scones discounted to 50-cents each (love how unpretentious that felt), and boxes of matzoh displayed on top of the espresso machine (when I inquired about what they use the matzoh with, she explained that it was Passover so she thought her Jewish customers might enjoy the matzoh options for sandwiches -- so fun and sweet!).

    My iced coffee was fantastic, and I definitely intend to come back and explore their "Wichcraft," AKA, Sandwich, menu.  The description of the OMG sandwich will be enough to get me to come back -- fig, marscapone and prosciutto!

    Overall, this independent little shop has potential written all over it, and I can't wait to increase my cool factor by adding it into my portfolio.  Watch out, Luci's Marketplace -- you have some new competition!

    I am writing this for my son and husband.  They don't have Yelp accounts so I am yelping for them.  

    My husband had a sandwich that he said was delicious.  He even noticed how cool the place is!  This is saying something, from a guy who rarely notices his surroundings when chowing down.

    My son walks to 32 a few times per week.  He's really into good coffee and claims this is the best!  Loves the outdoor seating and the fact dogs are allowed.  Yay!

    There you have it, a review from a couple of my loved ones.  You can bet I'll be going there soon.
