Elevate Coffee has won me over ,i have been to a few coffee house across the valley and this place by far rocks .This was my first time here as i was exploring the area to check out the new Pulte home sites at Norterra .
Had a delicious 16 oz coffee with half and half ,a super good cup of coffee.
And i do recommend the lemon zest scone .
Nice vibe here ,comfy seating and seriously nice employees I liked the place so much, i actually sat inside to enjoy my coffee and scone .
They have a variety of lattes ,and coffees of the day ,a couple of breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos on the menu ,and sweet treats .
Clean bathroom too.
There was going to be music tonight ,they have music every weekend i believe .
Worth the drive for me .
Thank You!Listed in: Beans and Leaves

This place ROCKS! Very cool shop, large and roomy, lots of seats, nicely decorated, good vibe, decent outdoor area with additional seating.
They carry soy, almond and rice milk, which is totally awesome for a vegan like me that has a soy milk intolerance.
They've got some vegan packaged bars and oatmeal options, which is pretty cool.
They've got a loyalty discount program, which is cool and you can even place your order via text message in advance! r0x0r!
I'd give em 5 stars if they started carrying at least one vegan baked good. Their entire baked goods case has zero vegan options. -

This is just a great place to get a cup of coffee, some food, and get some work done. Plenty of seating, including comfortable chairs at the tables, and nice furniture to kick back on.
They make a pretty decent breakfast burrito too. -

This is a great coffee house. I work next door and am there every weekday.
The staff is always friendly.
They have text ahead ordering and you can even get curbside delivery. How cool is that?!!?
They have delicious pastries, including gluten free options. My favorite is the cinnamon roll (not gluten free).
They also have live entertainment in the evenings. -

One of my favorite coffee spots and worth the 20 minute drive. They have a great selection of non-dairy milks ( almond, rice, soy) and gluten free baked goods. Great, comfortable place to work, read, or meet a friend.

This is a great coffee shop for anytime of any day. During the evenings they have live artists come in and play, and it just has a really positive atmosphere.
There are tons of comfy chairs to sit and relax in, AND it's close to the parking lot, so its so easy to get to if you're in a hurry & just need coffee or if you want to stay and hang out. -

Great atmosphere! It's next to the movie theater. I love the lounge area, the live band, and other events that goes on in this place. I love how it's always pack with people of all ages every night.
Great staff! Keenan, you're awesome! Thanks for my cappuccino and croissant. The cappuccino was perfect! -

I've recently become a regular here. Every wednesday night they have an open mic. You never know what to expect because it's always something different!
The Baristas are exquisite. Always in a great mood and they make everything perfect!
Everything I've had here has been great. Also, the pizza is pretty good too.
A great way to spend a wednesday night if you want a little entertainment and coffee! -

This review is a reflection of the coffee itself compared against the atmosphere and environment. As has been stated on numerous other reviews, the environment is great: open areas to study, scheduled live music, ample lighting, and friendly barista's. 5 stars for atmosphere.
However, where this shop loses points is in the coffee itself. The baristas know their process, but not the nuances of espresso. The coffee beans are freshly roasted (usually within a week or two from the roast date) and shipped from a company on seattle, but the roasts are dark and the taste is flat and smoky. In a world hooked on Starbucks, the freshness and consistance (they use a combination grind and tamp machine for consistant dose and tamp pressure) of Elevate give them a leg up on their monopolizing competition. However, for the coffee connoisseur, known to most as the "coffee snob," the espresso offers little more in flavor complexity or depth than a slight caramel sweetness overpowered by a spicy, smoky roast flavor. This flavor cuts through milk and provides a strong, smoky cappuccino, latte, or americano with little balanced sweetness. On the other hand, flavored drinks such as white mochas cover up the over-roasted taste and balance the sweetness.
Conclusion: Perfect place to meet, study, hang-out and curb your caffeine addiction, but the espresso has much to be desired by anyone who's drink of choice isn't laced with sweeteners and ounces of creamer. -
Review from Kyle U.

The atmosphere is very inviting, they have plenty of seating both inside and out. The coffee is great, they make their mocha with Ghirardelli chocolate and they also sell a variety of pastries, some of which are even gluten-free. Artwork from a local elementary school decorates the walls which gives this place a very comfortable and community oriented vibe. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking it out, this is a great place to relax and listen to live local artists every Friday and Saturday night!

Dropped in here one morning to get a latte and a sparkly blueberry muffin at about 8am on a week day and it was DEAD.
But I bet this place is happenin' at night on the weekends. There are a ton of seats, checkers games, books, magazines, comfy chairs... and it's huge so there's plenty of room so you aren't in someone else's space when you just want to friggen write a report.
I got the toasted marshmallow latte... yummy. I kinda wanted it to be a little creamier, but it was still tasty.
I also had a sparkly blueberry muffin. They get their muffins from someplace in Tempe who puts sparkles on their baked goods... and it really was good. -
Review from Arlin B.
Elevate is one of the best coffee places in North Phoenix. It's tucked in away in the Norterra Shops next to the Harkins Theater.
I'm not a coffee expert but I think a good espresso requires the right ingredients, good equipment, and people who know what they are doing with both. I'm SO glad I came across this place. It has a great atmosphere ~ great seating everywhere both inside and out, uplifting interior designs, cool tunes give a good vibe, and awesome baristas make delicious intelligentsia coffee. They use Arabic beans from the world's premier growing regions and equipment that seems fancy enough. Best of all~ they are giving 10 cents per cup of coffee they sell goes to provide clean water for a child in Africa!
They have very friendly and knowledgeable staff that doesn't completely change by the day. They consistently produce perfect tasting drinks far beyond the quality you will find the large coffee chains in the neighborhood.
They also offer a variety of pastries, deserts, sandwiches and soups. They offer live entertainment on certain nights and weekends. It's a great place to rest, relax, build relationships with your friends!Listed in: Breakfast, the Meal of…, Coffee & Caffeine

I stopped in here on my way back up to Flagstaff. My doggie needed a bathroom break and I desperately needed a coffee. I pulled in not knowing what to expect but was delighted with the outcome. I ordered a Java Chip frappe and a banana loaf, both of which were delicious. The staff wasn't overly friendly but not rude. And I always appreciate a place with a clean bathroom.

Love Elevate! Great place with a great cup of joe :) What I truly love is that they have tons of options that are great for non-milk drinkers (not just soy milk like some competitors).
Perfect place to grab a cup, study or even listen to live music on a weekend evening. -

Met my friend Jackie to grab a cup of coffee and ended up staying for hours! It is a great place to relax with comfy seats and a great vibe. We plan to go there one night after a movie to sit and relax while listening to the live music. Very cool. They have delicious sandwiches and their baked goods looked amazing!
The baristas are so nice and helpful and very friendly. The place is modern and inviting. They offer so many organic healthy choices. It is located in Norterra close to the Harkins Theater.
Glad she suggested this place ~ we will definitely be back. -

I love that Elevate Coffee Co is a christian based coffee house! The atmosphere is relaxing and homey. Whether you're there to relax and enjoy time with friends or to get homework (or in my case, blogging) done, Elevate has something for everyone. Live music featuring local artists can be heart every Friday and Saturday night.
They have a wide selection of coffees, teas, and smoothies. Elevate also offers pastries and desserts. I even heard they serve breakfast! The baristas are always smiling and ready to serve.
For anybody looking for a local coffee place to hang out, Elevate is the place to be! -

Nice place to get work done when you're out. All the drinks are good. One star deduction because the counter help runs hot and cold. Sometimes the service is great, other times they are more interested in talking to each other.

Simple, cozy, modern design for a coffee shop. Plenty of loungy and plush couches and chairs. Open stage for live music. Staff was really friendly and upbeat on opening weekend (aug 20th-22nd) . . Plus free expresso drinks.
I wish I lived closer to this place - - because I know I would be a regular -
Review from Justin v.

I like coffee because I like caffeine, I like caffeine because I like to feel strung out but without the stigma associated with illegal narcotics. Due to this fact of my life I always am trying new coffee places all over the country, even in New Zealand where if you order an iced coffee they assume you want ice, cream and on top of the ice and cream actual ice cream, that's just crazy to me. Anyway back to Elevate, 1st off the place is huge, lots of seating that's really comfortable (couches and such) they also have a great menu of food items which all things considered could be good or bad. Ive been to many a coffee shop with terrible food but Elevate ironically "raises the bar" (GET IT HAHAHAHAH OH MAN THAT'S HILARIOUS, GOOD GOD I CANT STOP LAUGHING HOW ABOUT YOU? OH ITS NOT THAT FUNNY? yeah your right) and actually puts together some delicious food. All their baked items appear to be made there and are spectacular as well as their sandwiches. I had the french dip with blueberry coleslaw for the side. What the hell is blueberry coleslaw? I don't know but its F'ing amazing, so was the sandwich (ill post a picture in a minute). Obviously the coffee is good too, I mean thats how they got me to go check out the place, its to me the level of coffee bean, really good not bitter like the hell that Starbucks serves *HATE STARBUCKS BTW*. And they have a nice menu of different coffee options to satisfy any coffee lover, Elevate = Great :)

My new favorite coffee shop! The baristas are friendly and really seem to enjoy their work. The shop has comfy couch and chair seating, as well as tables for eating or working.
The coffee is the perfect blend of strong and smooth...none of the bitterness that sometimes comes with bold coffee house blends. Both times that I have gone in during the evening they have brewed a fresh pot for me without my having to ask.
The dessert treats are in perfect portions for a little taste of sweetness. Loved the pumpkin buttercake!
Elevate offers live music on select nights, which I look forward to experiencing soon. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and a separate area which can be closed of and reserved for meetings and other events.
Overall, this is a great coffee place with a casual vibe. -

I've been looking for a nice place to study for a while now and I'm glad I've found elevate. The atmosphere is relaxing and other than the chairs being relaxing, their marshmellow whipped makes for a pleasant surprise.

This is one of my coffee haunts. It's a good place to meet and talk through all the pressing issues of the world. I am confident that the cure for cancer will not be found in an obscure medical lab somewhere, but will be realized by a group of people meeting at a coffee house and talking about it over the third cup of tripple shot espresso. Who knows, it may be right here.

GREAT coffee shop! plenty of comfy chairs/sofas/ tables and outlets. also free wifi is awesome! coffee was pretty good, i got a 20oz americano for $2 and change. Cheaper than Starbucks and the food looked pretty good too. I knew I'd love the place when i first walked in and James Taylor was playing on the radio. Also liked all the children's artwork on display around the shop. A bit tough to find from the website, it's tucked to the right of the harkins movie theater and not directly accessible to the street. you have to park and walk past the movie theater or park behind the movie theater to get to the coffee shop. My iphone routed me 2 miles past the shop initially, but a quick friendly phone call got me right to the store :) enjoy this independent NON Starbucks coffee house!

This is a fantastic coffee shop. There are tons of comfy couches and chairs, as well as tables to choose from. The live music on Friday and Saturday nights is great. The staff is very friendly and super accommodating. Plus, they have worked out a deal with Harkins to allow patrons to take their Elevate beverage into the theater!

Wow what a place!! nice decor and the staff was pleasant and had great suggestions. Took the time to explain their menu and unlike damn strbks I could actually hear what she said and didn't have to YELL my order!! So relaxing this place. The whole experience is better than any and their macadamia, walnut I think muffins are to die for!! My wife had the cinnamon roll and it was enough for a family. Hurry and go there or better yet right next to the theatre before the movie.

So perfect. The atmosphere is just spot on. I love going whether it's just to grab coffee and leave or if I am there studying or just want to chill. I love their Apple Harvest (?) salad. So delicious and beautifully prepared. Baristas are always very nice (especially Brianna!). Can't wait to hopefully become a regular and attend some of the live music events they put on every week!!

Not just for 20-something hipsters worrying about their hair. We just took our 4 year old daughter out for breakfast and a show at this wonderful coffee shop. She and 30 of her kind (plus moms, dads and grands) enjoyed a full breakfast of turkey sausages, French toast sticks, fresh sliced green apples and a juice pouch. Plus a small goodie bag with some candy, stickers and fruit gummies. Then the Anthem Youth Theater cast of Peter Pan came in full costume and sang two numbers. In between songs and after the show the singers strolled the cafe, met the kids and posed for hundreds of pictures.. Awesome fun for just $7. I was happy to see the owner helped out one of his "regulars" who was behind me in a busy line. The guy was obviously in there often and was bemused by his little cafe being overrun by toddlers and all he wanted was a cuppa' Joe! The owner snuck him over to the side and the guy just left his $2 on the counter. The grandma in front of me and I both thought that was great. We didn't want the regulars to be put off by all the kids being welcomed. Great summer activity during the week in the AM before it's too hot.
