"Dugout Coffee in Mesa, Arizona, is the kind of place that makes you do a double take. Step inside, and you’d swear you just walked into a Starbucks—same setup, same menu, but with one key difference: it’s got a baseball soul. Coffee & Service If you like Starbucks, you’ll feel right at home here. The drinks are just what you’d expect, and the barista—though flying solo—kept things moving with impressive speed. The only thing slowing things down was the people in line debating their orders like it was Game 7, but that’s no fault of the staff. One thing to note: while the space looks like it should have food options, there’s no food menu. So if you were hoping for a breakfast sandwich to go with your latte, you’ll have to grab that elsewhere. Baseball Atmosphere Even though we visited in the off-season, Dugout Coffee didn’t let the spring training spirit fade. Thoughtfully decked out in Cubs gear, the place still carried that pregame buzz. For baseball fans, it’s a fun touch—kind of like a hidden gem for those making their way to Sloan Park when the season is in full swing. Final Thoughts Dugout Coffee delivers exactly what you expect: solid coffee, fast service (aside from indecisive customers), and a fun baseball theme that makes it feel a little different from your typical chain coffee stop. If you’re in Mesa and craving Starbucks without the green siren on the cup, this place hits the spot."
