"Light Heart Coffee in Scottsdale is such a gem! The shop is beautiful, cozy, and full of good vibes — the kind of place that just makes you want to sit down and stay awhile. Their coffee is amazing, and you really can’t go wrong with any of their unique specialty drinks. I highly recommend the Banana Pancakes drink (so good!), and Elenni’s favorite is the Pumpkin Muffin drink — trust me, you’ll love it. If you’re looking for your new go-to coffee spot in Scottsdale, this is definitely it. ☕💛🌵"

"As a coffee and matcha lover, this is a great spot! Stumbled across this spot midday on a Friday and it was packed, so be prepared to wait in a long line until they can expand staffing/machines. The wait was worth it for the great customer service and amazing coffees! We tried the NISU, Narnia, and berry cobbler, all were delicious! NISU was voted the favorite due to its unique rosemary and caramel flavors, will definitely be back."

"Stopped in for a matcha and fell in love with the vibe! The atmosphere is amazing, as is the design layout. Everyone is so kind & inviting. The matcha was divine. I’ll definitely be back again!"

"Matcha was delicious! I got the nisu and the combination with raspberry and cardamom was fantastic! Also got two chai's and they smelled and tasted like Christmas in a cup. There was a slight line but we were in and out of there within 5 minutes! The staff was super friendly and it was super cute in there! Found them on Instagram awhile ago and made sure I stopped when we were in Arizona for the short time! Definitely worth it!"

"As a barista in the Valley, trying new coffee shops is literally my hobby. After seeing Light Hearted Café all over TikTok, I expected warmth, good coffee, and at the bare minimum basic hospitality. What I got was the complete opposite. From the second I walked in, I wasn’t acknowledged or welcomed in any way. No hello, no smile, nothing. Huge red flag in hospitality. The barista taking my order moved with zero urgency, gave the fakest customer service voice imaginable, and slapped on a mediocre smile that didn’t reach the eyes. My drink was made while the barista sat down… which honestly told me everything I needed to know. Here’s where it got uncomfortable: the customer directly behind me who was CAUCASIAN was greeted warmly, chatted with, and treated like a HUMAN being. The contrast was impossible to ignore. As someone who works in this industry, I’m very aware of how service should look, and this felt less like coincidence and more like DISCRIMINATION. The coffee itself was mediocre, but bad coffee can be forgiven. Bad, cold, selective service cannot. People don’t come to cafés just for caffeine—they come to feel welcomed and appreciated as a customer I felt neither. For a place called Light Hearted, the energy was heavy, unwelcoming, and disappointing. If I were the owner, I’d seriously rethink staff expectations and training—because this experience was anything but light-hearted. Huge letdown."
