Review from J C.

Grrrrreat coffee shop! Comfy couches. Good coffee. Great service. Yoga. Good breakfast bites. Lots of space indoor and outside. The beautiful landscaping with abundant flowers takes it far and beyond. My wife and I absolutely loved the ecclectic decor and architecture including the spiral chimney, china chandelier, and especially the Alice in Wonderland themed rooms. The sheet music tables were a nice touch too.
I spent all my college years lounging and studying in coffee shops around Seattle and SF. This place challenges, if not surpasses the best of them. Really quite astounded to find such a gem while here on vacation. Had to come every day while in Mesa!! -

The hours are now 6am-3pm M-F, they are closed on the weekends. Since the hours changed I can no longer hang out with a cup of tea and a yummy dessert. Such a bummer because the staff is super nice and welcoming.
Robin's Thursday evening restorative yoga class is the main reason I drive from central Phoenix out to Mesa once a week. She is an amazing soul and makes even the newbies feel at ease. She talks you through letting emotions and tensions go with each breathe and reminds you that you are there to restore not only your body but your mind. She teaches yoga at other studios and private too...I seriously would follow her anywhere.

Award winning Inside the Bungalow is an amazing place! Great people gather here! Great location! Walking distance to some great shops, lots of street sculptures, museums, and cafes nearby.
Co-owners Betty and Carrie have been running the show since 2005. They are two of the nicest people you'll have opportunity to meet in downtown Mesa! Betty and Carrie are positive, upbeat, and supportive of other businesses in the downtown area. Gift certificates are available. They are reasonably priced serving coffee, espresso, soda, tea, smoothies, sandwiches, salads and daily soups!
Stop by, get to know the owners, relax, have a cup (or two) of coffee or tea. Meet new people, enjoy the journey.
Inside the Bungalow is located at 48 North Robson, Mesa, AZ

I usually don't review after only one visit but since i won't be returning anytime soon I'll make an exception. I had been looking for a place besides the chains and burger joints my brother had take me to while visiting. After a quick yelp search i found this place. I got a delicious ice coffee and the "enlightened one" sandwich. The sandwich was very refreshing and light, yet filling. Exactly what i was looking for. The only thing lacking on the hummus, avacado, cucumber, tomato, and sprout sandwich was the bread. It tasted like packaged peppridge farm wheat bread, not bad. But, it could have been so much better, even if they just toasted it real quick. Mediocre bread can really drag down a sandwich in my opinion.
Besides that the service was great. The place itself is super nice and they even have yoga there. -

Extremely cozy to meet with friends and spacious enough to appreciate the surrounding area. Whether outside on the patio, or inside nuzzled with books and welcoming couches, you can enjoy your specially crafted teas, drinks & food.

I think I've exhausted every possible thing you can do at Inside the Bungalow- drink coffee, do yoga, go on a retreat, & have a wedding! I guess I'm well versed in what they have to offer! ;)
A couple of years ago I was searching out for a place to have my wedding. I had gone to Inside the Bungalow to drink coffee and enjoy their fabulous outside seating but never knew they did weddings. One Saturday I stumbled in early in the morning and saw them setting up for a wedding in the back. I knew immediately that I was having my wedding here.
I can't say enough good things about the owners, Carrie and her mother. From the minute I expressed interest in having a wedding, they were nothing but generous, thoughtful, and helpful from start to finish. They were so accommodating and easy going, it felt like I was planning a wedding with a best friend instead of a business owner I hardly knew. It made the process seamless and pretty much stress-free from start to finish.
In terms of their coffee and yoga, fantastic! Since I moved to the downtown Mesa area it's become my regular place to stop in, have a drink, and take a yoga class.Listed in: Valley Restaurants, Local businesses, Healthy Living

Wonderfully unique atmosphere. Good coffee, fresh & very TASTY food. Comfy cozy to stop in for a bite or hang out all day. Free Wifi. Yoga in the back cottage. Very attentive and friendly staff. Multiple rooms to choose.
I will become a regular here. ...And I've been searching high and low for the perfect reading spot with food and coffee. After multiple weeks of testing various shops all over the East Valley...my coffee cup will rest here. -
Review from Maggie F.
Not sure why, but I feel a bit like I'm in a fairytale land when I walk into this place :) Surely the 7 dwarfs or the mad hatter are sipping tea in one of the many nooks & cozy corners!
The loose leaf tea is great. Take a moment to open up the containers & take a nice big ol' whiff before you decide on 'the one'. The best one as of now in my opinion also doubles as aromatherapy, lol! It's black tea & coconut, yum!
The food is all made from scratch & so far I know that the Bungalow Salad, Curry Chicken sandwich & the Enlightened One sandwich are all FANTASTIC :)
Add to all of this that you are in a lovely historic home & that the owners & employees make you feel like you are a wanted & welcomed guest & it all adds up to a truly relaxing & delightful experience.
P.S. they offer yoga if you want to work off your food OR make room for more ;) -

I LOVE THIS PLACE! First off, it's like walking into a book when you walk through the door. It's so cozy and homey...... sigh. I wish I could be there now.
They have great coffee, tea, meals, and little snack/desert bars. TRY THE MAGIC BAR!!! SO GOOD!!!
There yoga classes are also great!

In a half hours time I searched yelp for mesa wifi spots, drove to "The Bungalow" and am now enjoying an egg bake with a pomegranate ice tea. Couldn't be happier to put off working a few minutes to give this lovely little place 4 stars. I may upgrade my rating after trying the sweets!! Peace
Ok, I've now tried the brownie... It's ridiculous. I ate the whole thing save 2 bits just to kid myself. It was good! -

My first time was last night - I went with a few friends, one of which raved about this place. No wonder! The decor is eclectic filled with antiques of coffee art, books and some gems from the Victorian era.
I ordered the Americano with a shot of fat-free vanilla syrup. They use Monin here, which if you're up to date on quality syrups, Monin is superior over Torani. So that impressed me. However, I thought their coffee roast was a bit too weak for me. {I prefer a robust coffee roast over anything weak or bitter.} Don't get me wrong; the Americano was delicious.
Also I had the Magic Bar, and my husband had a slice of apple pie. We found out that they bake their own goods here from scratch. Both were delicious.
I'll be coming back, but this time I'll be taking a book and settling myself in one of their comfortable, eclectic corners. Pretty convenient since this place is close to Mesa Library.
By the way, I've read the other reviews and it seems some were complaining about "rude" customer service. I saw no evidence of that. The staff was nice and friendly. What more could I want... well, except for a stronger roast. -

Sorry, I can't help still calling this Coffee Talk, but no matter; everything but the name is the same. Coffee Talk, ahem, I mean The Bungalow is a funky arts-and-crafts inspired coffeehouse. Try the Green Tea smoothie or a cinnamon and pepper-spiced Mexican Hot Cocoa. Mmm!
I love this little gem, and really have nothing else to add to Mike W.'s exquisite review, except Amen Brutha!Listed in: Mesa revealed

Fantastic environment and friendly staff. It's quite a large location. Plenty of rooms with wood floors and nice carpeting in some of the quieter areas. Classic novels and encyclopedias line the bookshelves and old advertisements for food and entertainment can be found in frames along the walls. Often there will be freshly baked goods; I typically see cookies, breads, and pies. Free refills on my iced tea. I could spend hours there. So nice. You can sit indoors or outdoors. It's very tranquil. Quiet spots can be found, or you can sit near the fountain and enjoy conversation with the many folks around you.
As a final note, credit card charge on purchases under $4.00. Enjoy! -

I absolutely love this yoga studio. There isn't a teacher there I don't like. The ambiance is fantastic and the price is just right. If you don't live in the area it's still worth the drive.
After class enjoy a latte or snack in the cafe. Bring a book and sit on the patio it's gorgeous there. -

Inside the Bungalow (Formerly "Coffee Talk") represents the most unique cafe environment to be found anywhere in the greater Mesa area. It's an island of alternative funkiness mired amongst a surrounding sea of strip-mall monotony and pervasively vapid decor.
Nestled amongst Mesa's historical district, Coffee Talk occupies two adjoining bungalow-style houses. Walls and structural supports have been left intact, creating a homey ambiance with a different feel in each room. Two outdoor brick patios are complimented by picket fences, gurgling fountains, and lush vegetation.
The service counter boasts a far-better-than-average selection of coffees, teas, and espressos along with a sizable assortment of baked snacks and high-end pastries. Free wireless internet gives laptop users a link to the outside world, and a varying array of talent brings in live music during select nights.
But wait! There's more! It's sizable layout allows Coffee Talk to double as a Yoga Studio. One of my friends (a yoga aficionado) described it to me as a "lovely space" that features large French-glass windows and hardwood floors. This friend once lived amongst a virtual sea of Yoga studios in San Francisco. While she's had dreadful experiences with surrounding gyms and yoga instructors, she's referred to the on-site instructor as "One of the Best" and "World Class".
If you're holed up in Mesa, in search of a casual spot to hang, and tired of driving to Scottsdale or Tempe, pop by Old Town Mesa to check out tastes, places, and spaces like you've never seen in the surrounding area. The word is getting out, a crowd is beginning to form, and it won't be long before Inside The Bungalow becomes a prime hangout for Mesa, it's surrounding communities, and quite possibly the ASU crowd.Listed in: Life within Mesa

I only go here for coffee.
This place is in a very different, very hip, and very old building. This is a truly unique atmosphere - not your daddy's starbucks!
The coffee is excellent and the way the former home is divided into dozens of different sitting areas is really cool. They have a HUGE patio in front AND in back.
Only wish they served coffee after 3pm. -

I stopped in here yesterday while I was working out in Mesa. I was confused at first cause my GPS said it was called Coffee Talk, but the sign out front told me otherwise. Now, reading the reviews, I understand.
Anyways, I didn't stay too terribly long at this place but I loved the expansive front patio with lots of furniture. And I didn't venture out back but it looked like there was also seating on the back patio. The house and the surrounding area is exquisite.
I had an Iced Americano which was really good although I didn't like that it was in a styrofoam/styrolean/whatever cup...it kind of reminded me of cafeteria coffee...but I think I can get over the enviro/bougie/green thirst in me and let that one go. The barista was super friendly and told me that they do yoga there as well...which made all the 30something, spandex sporting, blond women out front make a whole lot more sense.
All in all, good coffee and beautiful atmosphere to read or chat with a friend in. -

I was by myself, traveling for work, and wanted to go someplace that had Wi-Fi and a quiet place to get some work done and kill time before heading to the airport. I get so sick of the cookie-cutter, same-everywhere-you-go cafes. I saw this place on Yelp and thought it looked interesting.
I wish I lived nearby so that I could frequent this place often. I love the kitschy decor throughout and beautiful outdoor patio seating. Even the bathroom had an eclectic motif going. As I write, I'm sitting at a dining room table, working. I feel like I'm home, but with better coffee!
The decor aside, the food and drinks were very good, too. I had an iced mocha and an iced tea (I had a long time to wait.) I also had a turkey sandwich with raspberry chipotle dressing that was fresh and tasty.
The gentleman who served me was also very friendly.
All in all, next time I'm back in Mesa, I know where I'll be heading back here! -

As an update to my previous review, I have since learned that the staff here was extremely rude to my wedding coordinator and the caterers on the day of the event. Very sad to learn that as I loved the place.
Additionally, I had to contact them weeks later to determine the status of my security deposit. At the time they explained to me the reasons why I was not receiving any of it back, and I won't argue that with them, it was in the contract; however, send me a letter or call me and let me know. I shouldn't have to track you down to find this out.Listed in: Nuptial Bliss

Review from Jerrod K.
Tempe, AZ
Inside the Bungalow really does things right. The building itself is a large, old house, renovated with happy colors, artistic painting, and hardwood floors. It's fun to explore the different rooms inside. Outside, the patio is huge and beautifully landscaped.
The place has a very family-run feel to it (for good reason), and the food reflects that; eating there almost feels like you're having lunch at a friend's house. The menu mostly features sandwiches and breakfast items, and there are always tasty homemade pastries in their display case. Many items are vegetarian. Occasionally they offer chef's specials that don't appear on the menu, and are always fantastic.
But there's more to do than just eat, relax, and make use of their free wifi; behind the main building is a first-class yoga studio and massage facility. And taking a yoga class entitles you to a free cup of tea! Their selection is amazing, with loose-leaf and bagged varieties.
Their hours are a little strange, so check online before making plans to visit. As they grow, no doubt they'll stay open longer. -

Nice little place. The best coffee shop in Mesa. Note that the place was formerly called coffee talk. And that yelp has coffee talk marked near brown and center but there is nothing there.
Anyway the atmosphere at this place is cozy and comfortable. The only faults (and they r in short supply) are few outlets and the bathroom light switch is on the off side of the door which made it difficult to find.
Awesome little place, with fantastic outdoor seating! -

This is a pretty kick-ass coffee shop. I had to stop in town for a few hours, and needed a place to relax after driving six hours. The place is cheap, the staff very friendly and helpful, and their iced green tea (w. free refill) is refreshing.
What isn't emphasized enough is the vast space this place covers. There's several rooms on the inside, there's a fountain area in the front off to the left, another seated area to the right, and a back area for smoking. This is easily the hugest coffee place I'd ever been to.
The only thing that was a little unusual about the place was the clientele. I know soccer moms who practice yoga are very important people in the community, but it does bring the "cool factor" down a bit in a bohemian coffee place. But I suppose someone's gotta buy all the chai tea in a place like this. -

Very unique atmosphere- though already mentioned, it bears repeating.
Yeah- the coffee and espresso are good- they also have Chai, herbal teas, and some smoothies- but honestly, the lunch menu is worthy of a visit, and the Curried Chicken Salad sandwich is clearly the star pick.
The "Cafe" is a L-A-R-G-E Craftsmen style home, originally built over 75 years ago, with an expanse of patios, fountains, and intimate outdoor spaces. It has a flavor likened to Alice in wonderland meets northern California-- Not sure why, but just feels that way. Inside is a kind of romantic kluttered kitsch, but without the manufactured feel of a Buca Di Beppo.
Overall, the feel is very nice- about as whimsycal and earthy as you're going to get in the big PHX- I personally love it, and would spend alot more time there if they were more flexible in their hours, and served a cold beer.Listed in: West Mesa ' Hood

Great yoga. Tasty coffee. Beautiful patio. Cozy indoor seating. And (I hear) awesome soups. Sounds to me like a perfect combination!
The wife and I liked the yoga so much we bought a package and plan to attend every Saturday. It's a great workout and a perfect start to the weekend.
I'm really looking forward to hanging out on the patio once it warms up a bit. Overall the place is very inviting -- so much you just want to hang out there all day.
Oh, and the people there are wonderful! All very nice, almost as if you're family. (Come to think of it, I think they're nicer than my family.) -

Do you know why there are zero stars checked? BECAUSE THIS PLACE IS NOT OPEN ON THE WEEKENDS
My life plan: "vacation" studying at new and exciting coffee shops and bars with the BDF (best drink friend, which is not the same as bast food friend) while we work on the weekends. Two times I tried to go her, and two times I was denied. I thought the closure was temporary the first time I went. It was Historic Homes tour day... so I thought the private event was the reason it was closed on a saturday. But this weekend, low and behold.... I still could not go! Closed! Every weekend! No people in the old town componenet of Mesa -- which it too bad because it has a kickass yarn store and tons of potential.
Will add stars if my impending weekday visit really knowcks my socks off. A penalty for th no weekend service will remain. -

chatty staff interact with all patrons. You folks in mesa are lucky to have a place with good coffee AND good service. I live in Seattle, and while we have good coffee, we don't always have good service. the food looks amazing! I will have to come here when I am actually hungry sometime. -

Quaint place. The coffee here has skyrocketed in the last year with the hiring of some better baristas and the use of better coffee. This was our place to frequent in the Mesa area, and left something to be desired in the past - now it's little less than a go-to place, worth the trip. Great eats here too. The owners are incredibly friendly and are always open to a good conversation.

I found this wonderful place when I first moved to the Mesa area 3 years ago. It is just the kind of garden oasis and groovy coffee shop you want to find in the desert...and much more.
The gals running the show, Carrie and Betty, and their staff, add their flare to the neighborhoody warm feeling of this really great spot tucked in downtown Mesa...and I hear they help throw one heck of a party for those special occasions. -

I've never really been a coffee house kind of guy, but then I'd never been to Inside the Bungalow before yesterday, when I found myself in Mesa with some time to kill. What a seriously cool place. It's an old house - a really big old house - with lots of little private corners to sit and eat/drink, chat, read, compute (apparently they got free wi-fi, but I didn't have my laptop with me), just chill, whatever. If I lived a little closer, I would totally hang out here. They've also got a giant patio with a fountain out front - a little hot in the afternoon this time of year, but only for another month or so..

My early morning savior - a large, ice cafe mocha with a straw. I work in the neighborhood and love taking a little break to walk over to Inside the Bungalow. Everyone there is friendly and cares about their customers. Funky and relaxing, there are little private areas to sip your beverage and nibble on a little nosh. Stop in and get to know them and their coffee & tea selections. Ask about their yoga classes. But don't take the last apple danish...that's mine. ;)

I am updating my previous review after recently attending the Farm Sanctuary charity event. Inside the Bungalow generously donated their beautiful backyard facilities and yoga studio for this benefit. There appeared to be more than ~100 people there and the staff remained incredibly laid back and warm while having two functions going on at once (Oktoberfest out front and Farm Sanctuary benefit in the back). I am a fan of the shop for food, yoga, and massage and now I can see why people come here for events. It is charming and the people are wonderful to work with!

Inside the Bungalow or what I will always refer it as Coffee Talk is a nice surprise nestled in the hum drum downtown of Mesa. I have been enjoying their coffee and live talent since I was fifteen. When I was in High School it was a ritual to hit the local dollar movie and then end the night with some coffee at coffee talk. I think the best part was hitting on boys and trying to pass as being at least eighteen years old. My reasons for going to Coffee Talk have changed over the past decade, but the atmosphere and quality drinks and pastries have not changed. There is nothing better than sitting on their back patio and enjoying the cool breeze of the fall. There is something about that place that brings me a sense of relaxation. If you enjoy artistic ambiance, coffee, and live performance's then I would recommend Coffee Talk.

I visited Mesa from Southern CA about a month ago and was pleased to discover this gem my first night in town and I made a point of visiting every day of my trip. If I lived in Mesa, or anywhere near it I would be here every day! The coffee is excellent, they have an organic colombian, a good selection of veggie friendly foods, wi-fi, a large outdoor patio, and there is an extremely reasonably priced yoga studio on the premises, which I visited for one of their intro classes and removed the kinks of several days of driving from my back. The owner is a total sweetheart and the employees (and everyone else I ran into there) are friendly. They just don't make them like this anymore!

Oh man, this is really one of those cases that I wish they had half stars. I really loved this place and wanted to give it the 5-star badge-of-awesome, but I can't bring myself to do that at a place where the food doesn't absolutely blow me away. Now, that isn't to say that the food wasn't great, it just wasn't that 5-star level that you have dreams about when you get home. None-the-less, I will be returning. This place uses organic, local, fresh ingredients for all their food. That is a rare find, my friends. The fresh, organic thing was the main reason I really wanted to give it a 5, but the flavors just didn't knock my socks off. I had the Gobble it Up Sandwich, a Chicken Waldorf salad, and Ginseng Soother smoothie. The sandwich, in my opinion, had one big thing going for it; the havarti cheese. I LOVE havarti cheese and not many places carry it. All in all, the food is good, but the only part that really wowed me me was the smoothie. It's labeled as their stress-reducer smoothie, so I thought I would give it a whirl seeing as a could use a little relaxation before heading back to work. I drank most of the smoothie before the food came, and I really did feel less stressed by then, but I'm not sure how much of that was due to the smoothie.
That brings us to the ambiance of the bungalow. It's a very quiet, peaceful place. The sitting areas are pulled off the street a little so you aren't right next to all the noise of the passing cars (not that there are many on that street anyway) and it has this cafe setup. No, not that Starbuck's always-on-speed-everyone-wants-to-kill-eachother-c ould-there-be-more-noise-in-here? cafe, but a cafe ambiance like they should be. It was quiet, free internet access, and very relaxed. Even the employees of the bungalow seemed relaxed and at ease.
This brings me to my third and final point, the staff. The staff here are excellent and they really add to the environment. I was greeted immediately by multiple, geniunely happy employees. Not that fake-smile BS happy that you get at most places, but that I-geniunely-enjoy-my-job happy smile that makes everyone feel better. The only other place I've met people who I knew were that genuinely happy while working was Pittsburgh Willy's, but check their page for that info.
Anyways, I really love this place and I will be back. Fresh, organic meals at these prices and sizes just don't exist anywhere else that I know of. Plus, this is one of the bets places to just sit, relax, and completely forget about work while on your lunch break. I'll just have to head back soon!
