"Today I found myself at Brick Road Coffee in Mesa. This is one of two Brick Road locations, sharing space with Empower Roasters. I ordered my customary cappuccino, a bit dry, in a mug, and Brick Road delivered as promised. The roast was earthy and smooth, with hints of nut, and spice. I don’t believe the bean was arabica, as it lacked the bold flavor forward I would expect. Regardless, the roasting was on point. When seated, you can’t help but notice Brick Road is all about community. I sincerely appreciated their willingness to lead with their social conscious in an increasingly polarized society. While the cappuccino was fine, I was pleasantly surprised by my next option, a sugar cookie chi latte, which I ordered dirty. This was simply delish, and I tip my hat to the barista. Should you find yourself in Mesa AZ, I suggest you make a stop at Brick Road Coffee, pick up a LB of dark roast, have a seat and enjoy."

"We really don’t hope to offend your location, we are fans! This was our first time ever trying and visiting. The coffees we cherish, although we’re asking to be contacted in regard to the two Bagel Sandwiches we purchased today. We don’t want a refund for the coffees, but the sandwiches are not edible- we truly believe it’s just a mishap and not a reflection on your business!!! Happy to update to 5 Stars or remove the review upon reading and responding. Thank you so much for your understanding"

"Great selection of coffee and amazing staff. Lots of space to study and chill with friends at the tables in both rooms. It’s awesome to see the coffee beans being roasted while studying. I really like the syrup choices to customize your coffee!"

"Very cute and inclusive. Lots of tables and space for many people. It seems they hold events here as well, would definitely come back. They offer pastries or fruit/parfaits and a variety of coffees, teas, lemonade and energy drink mixes. Background music playing the entire time but not too loud at all. Staff was very inviting"

"Empower hosted our Toastmasters club in their meeting room and the entire experience was fantastic. We were unable to meet in our regular spot so we reached out to the leadership at Empower and they were more than willing to let nearly 40 of us use their community room for our meeting. Special thanks to Zach for staying open later than normal. They truly walk the walk when it comes to empowering people! Cannot recommend this business enough. Their drinks are amazing, their service is impeccable and the staff is nothing short of incredible. Thank you! 🙏"
