Cartel Roasting Co - Phoenix, Arizona

Walked across the airport to get the potato burrito because it was one of the few things I could eat. Said it would take 10 min but that was just enough time to make it back to my gate. When I bit into it, it was the egg burrito which I cannot eat because I’m allergic to egg and dairy. Didn’t have time to make it back to try and get the right order so was out the money and the food. Giving an extra star just because they have the option of the potato burrito.

I had a layover in Phoenix recently and decided to stop by for a cup of coffee. Generally speaking, airport coffee leaves a lot to be desired, but as soon as I walked up and saw their menu and equipment, I knew I was in good hands.

Normally I wouldn’t order two drinks, but given the opportunity to try what looked like a high quality shop, I went ahead and ordered my usual iced oatmilk latte and an additional espresso tonic, as that drink is a bit of rarity in most shops, so I went for it.

Both drinks were fantastic. The espresso was made properly and they both had great balance in terms of flavors. This is a great shop to have access to in an airport, absolutely worth the stop.

Really well done coffee for an airport, I was genuinely surprised. At $7 for a agave sweetened latte, it was a bit pricey, but it tasted so much better than any artificially flavored drink that I might have gotten at the nearby Starbucks. Money well spent 👍🏽

I’ve always been a Cartel coffee fan, and I’m so glad to be able to find one inside the airport—great coffee and highly recommended.

Cartel Roasting Co are in my opinion the best coffee shops in the USA. The quality of the beans and the expertise of the baristas sets them above all other independent coffee shops. My go to drink is the mocha breve and it is the best. I normally go to their locations in Tucson and this location at the Phoenix Airport is 95% of the experience I get at their non-airport cafes. It does get a little busy at times, but their drinks are exactly the same. I love the consistency and quality even at this busy airport location. Bonus tip, if you buy some coffee beans you get a free drip coffee or cold brew for the road. Top class. 5 stars all around.

A bit pricey compared to other coffee shops (but it’s at the airport so). The poblano potato burrito I got was insanely delicious. I loved it!! So crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside, and the sauce provided was complementing it well too. I was told that the burrito would take 10 mins but was willing to wait. I got a lavender matcha on the side that I also enjoyed, not too sweet or bitter. Perfect. Kind staff, quick service.

Cartel coffee beans are some of my favorite all time flavors. For several years, I have purchased beans from the shop in the PHX Sky Harbor Airport to take home for grinding. Everything about his shop is fantastic--the service, the people, and the coffee. I'm glad to be a loyal customer!

Best coffee in the valley, no question. It isy favorite way to treat myself. It's so good that I will actually get to the airport early just so I can go to Cartel before my flight. Plus they always have at least one really great vegan treat!
