Need a pick-me-up? Ahwatukee's cafes and shops are serving up seriously good drinks—from creamy milkshakes to perfectly crafted lattes. Whether you're fueling up morning or afternoon, treating the kids or simply craving something satisfying, these six spots deliver every time and any time of day.
Wonderift Coffee
The latest edition to Ahwatukee’s coffee scene, Wonderift Coffee is locally owned and operated by Lauren Topor and Kyle Reichert. Their signature drink takes the flavors of Topor’s signature house-baked banana bread and transforms it into a latte, featuring house banana bread syrup and a banana coin.

Cotta Nostra
New coffee shop on the block, Cotta Nostra is serving up deliciousness, from lattes to matchas. If you think you don’t like matcha, then try the Fresh Strawberry Matcha featuring layers of strawberry puree, creamy milk, and earthy—not bitter—matcha that is brighter, fresher and sweeter in flavor.

Stella’s Ice Cream
We all scream for…milkshakes! Especially those from Stella’s Ice Cream. Why? We love that they offer gluten-free and dairy-free options for ice creams and treats, so everyone can enjoy a thick, cold and creamy milkshake whenever the craving hits.

Best known for their coffee drinks, The Buzzed Goat breaks from the bean with their variety of Italian sodas. The refreshingly fizzy drink is a mix of carbonated water, flavored syrup and ice. Add cream and whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
