The drinks, service and atmosphere at Lo Fi are about the best around. Sam will pour you a perfect cup of whatever you want with a smile and some friendly banter.
The prices are very reasonable, especially when you consider the quality of the drinks.
As for food, I've only had an amazing cookie. I've heard great things from those around me, though. -

This is a nice coffee shop, pretty calm here considering i been here all day and the biggest rush has been 4 people.
I got the iced coffee / toddy. To be honest the iced coffee was pretty good. Not diluted and not overpowering. It is a very standard coffee shop layout. It has a good study layout, but the room sound travels too easily and if you are a study in the quiet type person it isn't going to work for you.
To address the price, it is about the same as other places, their prices include tax so that is always nice. You only need quarters when you go here. Very convenient
The staff is chill, definitely a nice place to come by if you live around here. (which i dont)
The only thing which is dumb is the parking time limits, but that is the cities fault.
Why doesn't this place get 5 stars you ask?
They really don't have anything to make this a unique destination, it is just plainly a coffee shop with out a specialty type drink they overly excel at.
I went in and asked if they had a specialty type drink they are known for...i was told the toddy with soy. Needless to say, it was good but didnt blow me away to be a specialty of theirs.
Nothing special, but a solid place to frequent if you are looking for a standard coffee drink. -

Great coffee, friendly people, and the yummiest monkey bread cupcake I've ever eaten. This little coffee shop is just what downtown Mesa needed. It's got a relaxed vibe and the coolest exposed brick walls. Plenty of places to sit and things to read. The baristas are always nice and talkative and make a mean iced latte(no burnt tasting espresso here, unlike that place that starts with an S).
Great place for people watching, conversation with a friend, and the surfing the interwebs. The iPad cash register is pretty cool too.
The only thing is it can get kinda crazy whenever there is a show at the venue it's attached to. Not too bad inside but lots of teens hanging around outside. Don't be an old fuddy duddy and you'll be fine. -

I love this place! I just moved here about four months ago and got to play a show here. I had a great time. Always talented bands, always good coffee, and now selling local produce from ChowLocally. Can't beat it. Hands down, coolest coffee shop in Mesa.

If you are looking for a great coffee experience in Mesa, this is your place! I just had the best soy latte I've had in years, the guy making drinks is friendly and really knows his stuff, and there is plenty of seating in this very clean and relaxing cafe. You should definitely check it out!!

Came here on a chilly night in December and was warmed up by a delicious cappuccino! This place has a really nice atmosphere. My sister got a cup of coffee and I loved the way they brewed it by cup. I want one for home!

Popped in here because Inside the Bungalow was closed and this was the first coffee shop on Main St. we spotted. It did not disappoint!
It's a very large space with great art and furniture, but was rather empty - given, we went in on a Friday afternoon. I hope they get more business in during the evenings and weekends so it doesn't disappear like so many other local businesses.
The owner was the only one working and was very nice and talkative, you felt very welcome and not looked down on like at some other coffee places. He used a very robust, woodsy coffee for my latte which surprised me - coffee used in mixed drinks usually doesn't stand out so much other than simple coffee flavour. It was very good! There were also plenty of gluten-free and/or vegan baked goods available for those who like that sort of thing. The prices were competitive, too - $3.25 for a 16oz. latte with pumpkin spice flavour added.
If this was closer to my house, I would definitely frequent it. I want to go back and try some of the other coffees and the banana chocolate chip muffins I spotted in the case. -

So cool! Great space! Super stylish! Guy who slings the brew really seems passionate about his craft. I'm serious about my Iced Americanos, and Lo-Fi did *not* disappoint! My only gripe is that they do not have decaf, however the owner did have a good reason.. he just can't seem to find decaf worth serving.. I'm really glad to have something this cool and stylin' in Downtown Mesa... worth a trip just to check it out! :3

Seriously, the owner, Sam, makes the best traditional macchiato in town. OH, and he's a seriously nice guy too. I did see vegan cupcakes in the display case as well as gluten-free cookies. Win.

I am all about supporting great local businesses and Lo-Fi didn't disappoint!!! Love when the owner is working and you see him everytime, Sam is a great guy and easy to talk to. Serves I think the best coffee in town. Very cool decor, very relaxing. We love stopping in when we are in the downtown Mesa area and even when we are heading in a different direction. I am telling you, the Coffee is worth it. Good quality stuff!!!! The prices are very reasonable, I was surprised for such a great cup of coffee. Keep up the GREAT WORK SAM!!!!

I love Lo-Fi! This is definitely my new favorite place to hang out in Mesa.
Plenty of seating for me and my friends, and you don't feel rushed or uncomfortable or that you're giving money to the devil for sub-par drinks, like at *bux.
They had a special- lattes for $2 the other night... I can't remember the last time i got coffee so cheap. The iced teas are my favorite though. Plus the guy who's always working there, Sam, once brought my friend a cup of ice water when he noticed she didn't order a drink... how thoughtful!
Thanks for keeping us all hydrated :)
Also - Vegan baked goods = thumbs up.. I'm not vegan but this chocolate cookie with peanut butter inside was so awesome!
My friend said the biscotti is great as well.
