  It was good. The matcha seemed to be good quality and the banana cream flavor was soo tasty but it didn't mix too well so part of it was bitter and then sweet separately but still worth it. The pumpkin bread and churro muffin heated up was great.

  My husband and I came in because we were craving matcha. We tried the banana matcha latte and the strawberry matcha latte, and both drinks were very good. It’s a very pretty coffee shop, though the space felt a bit tight inside. Overall, the service was great and I would definitely go back again

  Incredibly cool gourmet drinks. Matcha flights! There's outdoor seating in the back for cooler months.

  Located right in the heart of Downtown Phoenix, Fair Trade Cafe is one of those urban escapes. It’s got that perfect "Roosevelt Row" energy—eclectic local art on the walls, high ceilings, and a vibe that feels like a community living room. Here is a look at the experience of grabbing a classic morning fuel-up there. The first thing you notice is the relaxed, unpretentious soul of the place. It’s a favorite for ASU students and downtown professionals alike. Whether you're sitting at a window stool watching the light rail pass by or tucked into a corner sofa, it’s the kind of spot where you can actually hear yourself think. The Breakfast Burrito at Fair Trade isn't your standard greasy-spoon fare; it feels more "house-made" and intentional. It’s a hearty mix of fluffy scrambled eggs, jack cheese, and black beans. What sets it apart is the use of organic rosemary potatoes and grilled vegetables, which give it an earthy, savory depth you don't find in a typical fast-food version. It’s wrapped in a toasted flour tortilla and dressed with a subtle house aioli that ties the ingredients together. It’s filling without being a "food coma" inducer, though it’s definitely large enough to be a full meal. The black coffee is remarkably smooth with low acidity. It has a clean, nutty finish that acts as a perfect palate cleanser between bites of the savory, cheese-laden burrito. It’s a "no-frills" pairing that lets the quality of the roast speak for itself. If you want a breakfast that feels local, sustainable, and satisfying, this is the spot. It’s not a "hidden gem" anymore—the locals know it well—but it still feels like a discovery every time you walk in. Approximately $10–$13 for the burrito and black coffee
