About Daydreamer Coffee
Daydreamer Coffee is a coffee shop in Phoenix, at 811 N 3rd St, with a compact menu that puts espresso drinks and matcha at the center.

Customer Review Summary
Daydreamer Coffee draws reviewers in with its spacious, light-filled interior and standout matcha drinks. The blueberry matcha and matcha latte come up repeatedly as highlights, with one calling the blueberry matcha one of the best they have ever had and another describing the matcha as phenomenal. The atmosphere earns consistent praise for being huge, gorgeous, and design-forward, with plenty of seating from booths to couches to patio space, plus abundant outlets that make it a go-to for solo work and group visits. The cappuccino and seasonal lattes also get positive mentions for good balance and solid preparation. Service, however, splits opinion sharply: while some reviewers describe an attentive, friendly team and always positive service, several others report counter staff who barely greet or acknowledge customers, with one noting a snapped response when they tried to double-check an order and another saying a dismissive interaction kept them from having a corrected drink remade. A few note the space gets busy during peak times, and one adds it suits students and solo visitors more than larger tourist groups.

“I have become an outside regular at this location in downtown phoenix and I can't see myself going anywhere else BECAUSE of the always positive service, chill music, and focused work spaces! Shout out to the two baristas I see the most, …”

“The matcha is decent, but the service has been consistently disappointing. The girl at the front doesn’t greet you or acknowledge you when you walk up just stares until you order, then only speaks to give the total. It’s happened multiple …”

“Great cafe with an attentive and friendly team. The space itself is larger than any other cafe I have been to in Phoenix, so it is suitable for group gatherings and solo visits. The amount of natural light is also nice, in addition to the plethora of outlets spread throughout. There is also an outdoor space off to the side. I can’t comment on the matcha blends, but those seem to be popular items. I generally go for the cappuccino, which is well made, and the seasonal lattes, which have a good balance of flavor.”

“This cafe is gorgeous! It is huge with many different seating areas. Booths, couches, and patio seating. The ambience is top notch. The blueberry matcha was one of the best matches I've ever had. A must try!”
- Jesús Joya
“Atmosphere is mainly for students and or studying, wouldn’t recommend to tourists of 5+ group or having a coffee date. Cute and modern aesthetic.”
