No matter what kind of 'human bean' you are, we love you, and our home at the end of the rainbow is yours as well.

If you've asked Alexa or Siri "Find the best coffee shop near me," relax. You've found us!

About Us:

We are a locally owned coffee shop in Tempe, Arizona serving artisanal coffee, pastries and pizzas. At Brick Road, everyone is welcome. We are LGBTQA and sober-community friendly. In fact, "community," is very important to us.

Our Mission:

We all travel our own paths in life, laying one brick at a time and taking each turn as it comes.

Whatever direction your own Brick Road takes you, some things remain constant. We all hope to find acceptance, community, and maybe a great cup of coffee to warm us on our journey. Our mission is to be more than just a fabulous little coffee shop. We are working hard to create a place where the community intersects, connects, and supports each other in their individual goals.

About Us / Meet the Owners:

Raised in small towns of the rural Midwest, owners Gabe and Jesse were somehow lucky enough to meet in Southern California fourteen years ago and proudly call each other “husband” today. Their careers in finance brought them to Arizona, where they’ve been blessed to call Tempe home.

For many, the recent global pandemic has been a time to reflect on how time and energy are spent and what marks an individual will leave on their family and neighbors. Gabe and Jesse knew it was time to leave the corporate world and create a legacy born out of the desire to create and cultivate community.

“I want to be known for how I treat my employees and my community. I want to be known for my coffee, sure, but I want to be known for those two things more. I just want to be a really good person that treats their employees well.” - Gabe Hagen

In their early years together in Southern California, they realized just how much coffee shops are centers of the communities they serve. They are a gathering place for sharing and exchanging ideas, coming together in common endeavors, and building networks and relationships. Their hope is that the community born at Brick Road Coffee can help to elevate their neighbors and make a small yet meaningful impact on their lives. After all, we are all sharing this journey through life, and every road traveled is better with more love & caffeine!
