I went back to Copper Star today. I ordered a vegan apple cinnamon muffin, which was much better than the pastry I had last time. The cinnamon was oozing out of it and I never would have guessed it was vegan!
The staff was also super friendly today, and they helped me choose an iced green tea (which came in a 7/11 Slurpee size cup...dang!). It took me an hour to sip the whole thing down but there's no rush here! It seems like a good place to hang out!Listed in: The ideal afternoon in Central…, The Vintage Thrift Crawl

Nice lil spot here...
Have walked past it many many times but never went in.
I don't drink coffee,have an interwebs connection at home,and really have no reason to go...
Until a friend checked in today so I walked over to socialize.It's comfy and cozy both inside and out.
I never know what to order on the rare occasion I do find myself in a coffee place like this,but I do know it'll be expensive.
So I ask about iced teas.The lady behind the counter who was uber friendly and nice recommeneded a few different things and I went with some herbal thingamajig.
Got a BIG cup full of light goodness.I was expecting to hear something like 5 bux,but it was only 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
would I go back?I might rabbit,I might.
Except some of of the denizens were of the hipster faux hippie persuasion,and well,I didn't care all too much for the great unwashed the first time around and I would prefer my tea hippieless here in the new millenium.
If my friend checks in again,I'd follow him over.
Just wouldn't go on my own. -

Went here on a recent Saturday afternoon with some family while we were in the area. I had looked for a local sandwich shop on yelp and was pleased to have found this spot... hell, it was close enough, so we gave it a shot.
The buildling is an old gas station I've driven by many times before ... never would I have thought that it would be creatively converted into a small sandwich and coffee shop... but I'm glad it did!
The small outdoor patio had a few people there (and some pets) and the indoor seating area was small but empty enough that we found quick seating. The table/chairs were a bit awkward (a bit wobbly), but we made do. We all had sandwiches (I the Curried Chicken Sandwich - how have I not had this before, it was outstanding in flavor!! and my sister's whose sam'ich I also tried was the Deviled Egg - also delicious) and afterwards we decided that, with the unique selection of alternative-ingredient baked goods they had on display, we'd try a few out.
When we had first walked in, this girl's big, FAT delicious looking cinnamon roll had caught my eye.. and after lusting after it throughout my meal, I decided I'd go back to the walk-up counter and get us one to split... waa! They were all out! Bummer... BUT, we tried their spice cake and their danish and they were excellent.
I will be back again for sure! -

Been in town for a few months now, when I go to have coffee with someone this is the place I pick. Nice and comfortable....coffee shops today don't give enough comfort, there are some nice big sofas to sit on. :)
place is decorated with "good" local art, unique setting and love the style of the place. -

I have mixed experiences here at Copper Star. Overall, it's a really nice, hipster coffee place where I can study a bit and surf the webs.
I can't offer feedback on the coffee because I'm a tea drinker. It's the monster, refillable iced teas that keep me coming back. They have several to choose from, and are very generous with the servings. This is a very good thing in the summer time.
The pastries are freakin' awesome. Love the baked goods, except maybe for the bagels. They're just ok. Otherwise, if you love a great muffin, they have 'em.
The lunch items are a weak point. I've eaten lunch here a few times, and I was never satisfied on any occasion. The first time, they didn't have the ingredients necessary to make the meal, and tried to concoct some frankenwich that was just odd. I ended up swapping it out for hummus plate that was just- meh. The second time, I ordered the turkey sub. Again- meh. Today, the veggie sandwich. It wasn't very good, and it didn't have the same ingredients listed on the menu. Also, the lunches don't come with chips or salads or any type of side. Go elsewhere for food.
Other than that, it's a great place to chill out and study. It's also a nice stop-in while I get my dog grooomed. -
Review from Michelle D.

No. No. No.
I want to like it. I tried to like it. The location is super convenient. It's in a restored gas station. The set up inside is cute. I could/should totally study and/or work here. I want to like it.... Really, I do. The staff is nice. I like the patio outside. Parking is easy...
But NO. I waited on reviewing Copper Star, each visit hoping that it would be different than the last, but I can't ignore things like....well, the drinks.
Two BIG things I don't like:
1. Fundamentally, the drinks are never very good. The milk is either scalded, as if someone didn't get the message that milk temperature rises after you turn the steam wand off. When you have to double cup a breve, that means you screwed up and should make it again - I should not have to feel the cup, knowing it will taste scalded only to take a sip and hand it back to you. Also, espresso shots need to be pulled accurately when you are using a manual machine - preferably between 18-24 seconds if your have things calibrated right. When a shot sits there forever while you get your shit together, steam the milk, or generally mess around - it loses its body and begins a quick descent into the realm of bitterness. That happens a lot here. You can't get an americano. No crema. It just looks burned out - because the shots sat there forever or were never pulled correctly in the first place.
2. The place looks fine at first glance, but the floors are always dirty, the counters and condiment bar have never been wiped down while I have been inside, and the steaming pitchers don't look like they get a thorough rinse after each usage. I notice these things and they bother me.
That being said, it's not awful. I would just rather go to Lux, Lola, Citizen, Giant, or even Starbucks. I want to love it here, but it's more like Urban Beans over on 7th Street - they both get your hopes up and don't deliver. -

Lets see five stars, Why, Coffee check, espresso machines check, really cool people working there, check. what else does a ma pa coffee shop need. Oh yeah they make their own tid bits to eat. I had a blueberry muffin because I just wanted something simple, but I did pass up the last strawberry hazel nut muffin that look great. Attention to detail is what makes this place one of a kind.
That place is just cool just like how you would expect a coffee shop to be. The outside looks like its a converted gas station.
So if your uptown and need a little caffeine, give this place a try, def worth it. -

Loved this place. Out of all the five local coffee joints I stopped by during a trip to Phoenix, this one I'd have to say was the best of them. I drove past them while pursuing breakfast, but decided to stop by on my way back down 7th, to have a cup of coffee and figure out what to do with the rest of my day.
There isn't a ton of parking, but there is plenty of places to park on the street. It's a small, cozy, repurposed gas station as everyone else has pointed out, and the interior is simple, yet relaxing feeling. Parents with their kids sit outside of this kind of place. Older people relax with a cup of coffee with their dog on a leash at this kind of place. Younger hipsters hang out inside on their mobile devices at this kind of place. The garage door was open, so a cool morning in Arizona could be enjoyed by everyone. The couches inside were precariously cushy as they engulf you when you sit down.
The cookie I ordered as a dessert to breakfast was still warm when it was served to me. The chocolate chips were gooey and soft, and it was practically right out of a commercial, with a slow camera pan on my hands as I ripped a chunk off with a rivulet of milky chocolate stretching away. The coffee was not burnt-tasting or overly bitter, and was probably the best I had on my trip.
And everyone who worked there was polite and friendly. Several of them took the time to address my questions about the area, and if they had any suggestions of anything to do, whether it was in the city or out in Surprise where I was headed.
The experience as a whole was easily worth five stars. Convenient location, free parking, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and quality products. Easily a repeat trip next time I'm out in Phoenix. -

We had a 2-for-1 print out, good for up to $6.00, so we decided to come here for lunch and get sandwiches last Saturday. On the menu board, there were 3 post-its on it saying "Out of Sandwiches". They told us that they stop serving sandwiches later in the day, so we ate some where else.
We decided to return the next day on Sunday, and the same 3 post-its were on the menu board again! We were not happy! We got there earlier than we did on Saturday. This time they told us that they are out of a lot of the items that are needed to make sandwiches, & they are awaiting their shipment. But they said that they could only make us Tuna Sandwiches...So we went ahead & got that.
This left us with a bad impression about this place & will most likely not return.
In the mean time, while we were in line....2 more customers walked in & noticed the post-its, too....They turned around & walked out. Apparently, they are losing business by not having there 'shipment'.
...The tuna sandwiches were quite dry, & not much flavor...
(....Hmmm, maybe they should just stick to coffee, cookies, & muffins.) -

Small coffee shop.
I only gave it 3 stars because I went here to get free WiFi because my condo's internet went out, to discover the WiFi here was in and out. I even told the employee there that the internet was down and he tried to reset the wireless, but still the WiFi did not work.
I got a chai latte here. It was good, but I was disappointed that it was my first time there and I wasn't offered a punch card, the "special offer" on Yelp. However, the customer after me got one, which kind of ticked me off.
There isn't much parking, so you have to find parking on the streets.
Overall, probably wouldn't come here again. -

I have been going here on and off for the past 3 years. It is just a 2 minute bike ride for me from home, or 6 minutes when walking Jack my dog. Everyone here is friendly and attentive. It has a cozy family atmosphere and they actually remember your name after your first 2 or 3 times coming in. I usually just have a drip coffee but have to admit that it is always tasty, never too strong or too weak. The pastry case always looks awesome!. They have a variety of coffee drinks from hot, cold, to frozen. They also have sub sandwiches and artisan sandwiches as well. I highly recommend the curried chicken salad sandwich, the recipe is actually Bill's mothers. You gotta check this place out!!!! I give all of my 10 thumbs up...

Eeeeeeeee. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on me, yet again. I keep wanting to love Copper Star for many reasons, but just can't get over that one major issue I have each time.
Upon giving Copper Star another shot, met with the same results we were. I guess it should be a hint when a coffee shop gets awarded Best of Phoenix for their muffins and baked goods, but never a mention about the coffee? That's kind of how it feels here.
The baked goods are quite good. The cupcakes and muffins are very fresh, almost shockingly. The place itself is quaint, delightful and has a very neat look - great idea with the gas station theme. Coffee itself though, I could do without. Automatic pulled shots that were well over 40 seconds. Cappuccino that wavered between watery and milky, to a faint, faint background of burnt-roast-taste.
CSC is probably one of the better places to get a baked good in town. If coffee is really your thing though, head east a half mile. -

Great little coffee shop. I noticed it while driving down 7th Ave. the other day and it looked so quaint I decided to return for a drink. I recommend the black tea they have. It's delicious and pretty generous for $2. The atmosphere is relaxed with what sounds like the silversun pickup station playing in the background. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

I'm going to have to update this due to the new crowd that's in and out of this place. Man, what happened?!?! This place was really cool but now it's FULL of a weird crowd of old hipsters. weird. Now I feel underdressed when i go in here. Though the live music is still cool, it's impossible to sit down because you're squished in like sardines. We had to take the kids outside to sit down last time. They should have the band play outside rather than right next to the counter. It's all arranged very awkwardly. The drinks are just drinks. They're good, but just normal coffee shop drinks. All in all, I'm no longer impressed. Super bummer.. such a cool lookin spot.

Copper Star is my go-to coffee joint. Their coffee is great, their iced tea is great, and their sweet treats are great.
The GIANT rice crispy treat is gooey and buttery and delicious - just like it should be.
Nice counter staff & baristas. The owner is super nice too.
Can't beat the location and the price - and the free Wi-Fi.
Also the band that plays on Sunday mornings is AWESOME! -

The Copper Star Coffee shop has several reviews already and without being too verbose and periphrastic, I will keep my review short.
Coffee ~ very good, full bodied taste without bitterness and has a good aroma.
Coffee Accompaniments ~ good selection of cookies, pastries, tarts. I asked them to heat my brownie ; -) it was chocolicious X2!
Service ~ very friendly and happy and eager to please
Decor ~ it used to be much more comfy with more couches and big comfy chairs. I think they are trying to accommodate more people with the use of big wooden tables and hard chairs. It used to be much more comfy with more room to move and set up better to meet with friends.
All in all, it's a great place for a cup of joe if your in the area. They have a convenient drive through if you don't have time to stop.Listed in: Coffee & Caffeine

Moved to midtown Phx about 1 year ago. If I was to ever move out of the neigborhood, I would miss Copper Star Coffee the most. It's my favorite coffee shop I've been to in AZ. The staff is super friendly, there is plenty of room to lounge around and play on the internet (for free). The menu is awesome! I don't have much of a sweet tooth but all their pastries look delicious. I think they switch up the art on the walls like every two weeks or something like that so it's nice to see all the different art work. On Sunday mornings theres this 3 piece band that comes in around 10:30 or 11:00 and plays old country and rock tunes.
I love how I stop in every morning before work and Cindy or any of the other ladies know exactly what I want.
If you live in the neighborhood and haven't been to Copper Star yet, you are blowing it. -

Great little coffee shop made from an old gas station. Very old school, vintage appeal. Has a drive through and makes some tasty coffee! They usually have some entertainment during the weekend and are pretty quick. Great patio.
If you are hitting the Melrose district for some vintage shop exploration, start here. It sets an awesome tone for the neighborhood and coffee is great before walking to 7 or 8 stores. -

Awesome little coffee/tea joint. They have free wifi with tables and couches and is fun to chill out in. Parking is the only downside side for this place so you will have to park on the street which really is not all that bad. I have not tried the baked goods yet and will have too soon. Other reviews say the baked goods are really good.

I'm originally from Phoenix's Encanto District. Whenever I'm back in town visiting my parents, it's a pleasure to come back to Copper Star Coffee.
Part of the reason to head to Copper Star is the ambiance: it's a converted vintage gas station with a quirky, welcoming feel. Light streams in through the glass-paneled garage door and, with the cafe's tall ceilings, the space feels at once very large and very cozy. I've come here to work the past, but unlike some coffee shops, Copper Star is never completely overrun by laptops. There are always pairs or groups of friends here having a good time. Nevertheless, if productivity is what you want, the shop is never too loud, there's free WiFi, and there are a couple plugs along the west wall. I've definitely had some productive afternoons tinkering away at one of their long communal tables.
The quality of service at Copper Star has consistently been excellent. The folks are nice, approachable, and ready to help, and interacting with them has always been a joy. The coffee is good -- I'm a no-fuss, black coffee girl, but trust them about the iced cappuccino on really hot days -- and, if you're more of a tea person, they're one of the few places nearby that stock Harney & Sons, one of my favorite tea blenders in the US. I've had a couple pastries and the veggie sandwich, and they were delicious.
In sum: If you're a Phoenician in need of a charming, quality coffee shop in your neighborhood to spend time with friends or solo, go to Copper Star. You're welcome. -

Copper Star is where I go to buy drip coffee to make at home. And where I meet up for coffee on weekends and evenings with friends. When you can find parking (though I prefer walking or biking), the atmosphere there is so relaxed you can't help but sit and unwind for a few.
Their non-coffee items are just as delicious, from the italian sodas (with choice of regular or heavy cream) to the delicious desserts and baked goods (which usually even have a vegan option), keep me coming back.
Parking is limited, and I've never been through the drive though as it looks awkward, but this is still a place you don't want to miss out on. -

I'm pretty happy with this place overall; drinks are good, service is friendly, atmosphere is enjoyable, and I delight in the immediate neighborhood, where I inevitably have to park.
My one complaint: though they do technically stock rice milk, they never actually have it. What gives! I'm tired of coffee places thinking it's adequate to offer soy as the only dairy alternative. I ask for it every time and every time they are still out. C'mon guys, this game is not difficult. -
Review from Earl C.

It's my first time here and the only thing I was impressed about what that the establishment is located in an old gas station.
The people working here are not too personable when talking with customers. I understand they might get tired of doing that for 5 hours, but if their friends come in leaning and hanging out on the counter while talking to the employees for half hour or more. Then it's time to get re-train some of these workers to be more customer oriented because they're losing focus. They're talking loud on the phone while on shift - pretty much everyone in the place could hear her business.
The coffee was "ok" nothing too special - I like that bitter/sweet taste in my drink, but that wasn't present.
The custom art on the walls are neat and makes the atmosphere of the place more welcoming, but there's a disconnect between that and the worker's attitude. I wouldn't mind coming back to this place and giving them another try... I'll re-review until then. -

In the interest of full disclosure--my hubby worked here when it was a Texaco station way back "in the day." Not that that has anything to do with Coffee Star's current life, but you know what they say...
That said, I have to confess: I've never actually had coffee here. You see, I'm a Trader Joe's gal. I buy my Trader Joe's roast [well, actually Ken buys it, I don't do grocery shopping any more], bring it home, set up the timed Mr. Coffee [well, actually Ken does that for me too--don't all you chicks out there wish you had MY husband???] and it turns on at 6 am. By the time I'm done with my health walk, it's brewed and waiting for me.
So you all are no doubt wondering just why is this crazy NDN woman reviewing a coffee shop where she's never had the coffee? Because, amigos...it's because Coffee Star is one of my favorite lunch spots. It's in the Melrose District, also one of my faves [I have a biggg article coming out in Valley Guide Quarterly to prove it!], their sandwiches are OK [not 100 percent, more like 80 percent but that's ok], the building is just the coolest old gas station-cum-coffee shop EVER and did this, kemosabes...
THEY HAVE REAL COKE!! That's right, caballeros, they have Mexican Coca-Cola, the old recipe with real sugar instead of the corn syrup that Coke so-calls sweetens their colas with. That along is worth driving over for...
And it's a great spot to hang and watch the world go by. One of these days I'll try out the wi-fi and try to resolve that issue....Listed in: Top Restaurants, The Places I Go Out, My Neighborhood

Cool place with lots of charm, this ain't no chain coffee house.
I just had an iced coffee which was very good and the red cupcake.
-----I'm gonna get kicked in the nads and/or have several drinks thrown on me at the next Yelp event for sure for this next comment.---
The cupcake was just average, and the frosting was even a bit grainy.
I'm gonna go buy a "cup" now so it doesn't hurt when I get kicked in the nads by everyone who loves their cupcakes. -

Can you give extra stars for cute barristas? That's probably unfair. Plus, it's unnecessary because Copper Star earns five stars on its own merit.
Phoenix has yet to turn me on. Now, I am sure there are many hidden oases of awesome out here in the desert, but I haven't found many. Thank you, Copper Star for not being a mirage. I enjoyed your coffee. I'm glad you have free wi-fi and I really like the feel of your cafe. I'd say it's crisp. That's the term I'd give to Apple products if I didn't dislike Apple. Crisp: you've got it, Copper Star. Next time I'm in Phoenix...let that not be soon, I'm going to linger at one of your tables and savor another cup of joe and be content.Listed in: Jittery Purity

Sometimes, I wish I were a coffee drinker. I'm not. I'll have what I call a "bitch coffee drink" a couple times a year, but that's it.
Copper Star is right across the street from my house and I just ventured there for the first time with Nathan S today.
I like the simple menu for drinks. There are a few different categories and not a million different variations, which I think is cool. If only other places would "K.I.S.S."
I had the toffee coffee drink, and it was pretty good. Not great. Good. I also had an apple croissant. BARELY tasted the apples. The croissant itself was light, buttery and flaky. But, where were the apples?????????????
I love the atmosphere here.
I am seriously thinking of becoming a coffee drinker. That's a key product here and MAYBE the stars would go up if I could taste the quality of the coffee.Listed in: My favorite Do/CenPho things…

Copper Star Coffee was the perfect venue for Yelpy Office Hours today... we had a great turnout, and a lot of fun! I also got to see yelpers enjoying all kinds of CS drinks and treats. (The green tea chiller that Kelly had looked especially refreshing!)
Their soy latte was pretty damn good, and I ended up eating lunch at Copper Star also... who knew that they have fresh sandwiches and salads? I wanted the egg salad but they were out of it. Bummer! I went with the curry chicken salad instead and it was tasty - as long as you like curry. Not the best I've had, but it was convenient and edible.
Bill, Natalie, and Mindy took great care of our group... and since I ended up spending over 5 hours at the place, I was able to observe many of the other customers that came in and out as well. It was a diverse group, and all friendly and cool. Great for people watching and working - the day flew by!
Thanks again to all of you that came out today, and to Copper Star for accommodating us. See you soon, Copper Star!Listed in: Downtown Diva Destinations...

Copper Star is totally the type of place I would like, despite the fact that I'd much rather meet someone for an adult beverage than a coffee. The times that I do go to coffee shops is when I want to buckle down and get some work done for my graduate classes or lesson plan for work. For very obvious reasons, the free WIFI is KEY when I want to spend hours at a coffee shop getting work done.
I've been to Copper Star a few times, and noticed that their Internet is very slow. This past Saturday, however, it was beyond frustrating. I asked the girl working the counter and she replied "Our Internet is sucky." Needless to say, a pretty pathetic and frustrating response. I had already ordered a tea and breakfast sandwich (nothing special there) so I had to stick around to finish those up. The Internet (after a half hour) starting working but went in and out.
Coffee shops without consistently working WIFI are useless to me, and despite how adorable the actual spot is, I don't see myself returning here again. If you need reliable Internet, I don't think you should, either (unless they fix the problem).Listed in: CenPho
