So this place has been through the wringer. The whole daughter/mother fight and who is running the place played out all over the media. I didn't know any of that when I started going here. If it were still the way it was when I first started going there then I'd give it four or five stars for sure........sadly for them I didn't write my first review here until I had a bad experience.
I started going to Citizen Espresso Bar because they carried Jewel's Cupcakes baked goods. I am gluten free and they had an extensive line of Jewel's products along with their beverage choices. My husband and I would come in and grab some Joe and a little treat and I'd be SOOOOOOOOOOO happy that I could eat a cupcake or roll with my coffee. I can't do that at about 99 percent of coffee shops around Phoenix.
However, again this past fall, there is a switch up of who is in charge and now I cannot get any gluten free products now. Now I wait again until someone gets on the ball and offers all of us gf peeps a place to get our treat on WITH our java.
When I asked about it I was snubbed and told that they were making all of their products now and gf wasn't going to be an option. Well, I determine where we go for coffee and treats due to the fact that I need to be able to eat so...they lose all of our family business.
