| - There is so much to say about Cortez I don't even know where to start! Definitely one of the best coffee shops/roasteries in the area. I've tried to many coffee shops that use Cortez beans, so it only made sense to try it from the origin!
Cortez Coffee actually just had a street market this past Saturday. It was small this week - a food truck with killer tacos, a stand with a raffle, and amazing coffee inside. The owner, Ron Cortez, was there, and he is such a funny, genuine guy and you can just tell how much he cares about coffee. One of the baristas told us that they're trying to make the street fair a bigger and more regular event, so I'll definitely be back to see what else they have in store!
I tried the nitro cold brew and I can honestly say it's the best I've had. Personally, I generally need coffee to be sweet to drink it, but this cold brew was different - it's naturally smooth and flavorful in a way that tastes amazing with or without anything added! I was lucky on timing and got to try a bit of their new chocolate sauce before it ran out, which was absolutely wonderful. Amanda, a super friendly barista working there, told us about how they've been experimenting with making chocolate sauce for drinks right here in Phoenix, so it's all-natural without any fillers.
The coffee is amazing and the staff are kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about their trade. Highly, highly recommend Cortez, and I'm looking forward to coming back in the future!
