Come in and enjoy one of few coffee shops that face fine art. I’ve been trying to come visit this place for sometime however the hours don’t help. Most great coffee spots close super early. I was lucky to make some time to visit on a Sunday. Arrived 45 mints before closing and was able to enjoy a iced coffee, and a cinnamon cake. Very enjoyable. Will make sometime to come early to enjoy the seating area.

A wonderful little nook. Minimalist yet cozy and inviting. Perhaps my new favorite study stop. I had a marzipan latte and it was absolutely delicious! I will be showing my friends next time I visit

Fast service, 5 minutes to order and to get my drink. Looked at the art for a few minutes while the drink was made. I ordered the abeja which comes with honey and it is very tasty! Just sweet enough but not overwhelming… would definitely come back to try More!

If you dont like coffee, go for the vibes. As the name says, its very futuristic themed. This is such an interesting coffee shop, and I love that their coffee shares a message. I got the lechera & it was really bitter, but it was interesting. I probably wouldnt get it again, but she warned me before I got it. Check it out!

This place is awesome. A friend that owns a coffee shop in Seattle told me about it. Coffee is great and definitely not your regular. Go there to be mind-blown! Didnt rate as full stars because its takeout only!

Quick help, 5 minutes to arrange and to get my beverage. Taken a gander at the workmanship for a couple of moments while the beverage was made. I requested the abeja which accompanies nectar and it is exceptionally delicious! Sufficiently sweet however not overpowering… would return to attempt More!

Pretty unimpressed with the quality of the drinks and the staff. Flavor profiles were pretty off and it took 20min or so. No, the line wasn’t out the door, they were just occupied with other things. Hard pass.

I don’t think coffee should be fast, but I also don’t think it should take over 15 minutes for one drink when there isn’t a soul in the place. It’s very pretentious which I was surprised to see here in Phoenix. Also, pretty hilarious considering they try and go for this Mexican aesthetic, which if you’re going for the hostile vibes you get at the border they nailed it. Coffee was good just good, but when there are rude workers who couldn’t care less about you and give you attitude when you ask questions and even answered them wrong, why deal with it? There are waayy better places in the area than this. By the way I am Latino in case you think this is disparaging. Also forget not wearing a mask if you’re fully vaccinated they don’t care.

My girlfriend and I shared the frijole dish and it seriously took me back to Mexico with all of its vibrant, fresh flavors and well-balanced salsa. The coffee is always great no matter what you get. It’s not a sugar packed frappe—if you want some handcrafted lattes, this place will never disappoint. Hope this place stays for a long time.

Great coffee shop with a modern clean feel. I saw the pictures online and immediately knew I had to go. White everywhere, concrete floors and counters; your modern coffee vibe. Something I like about this spot is they serve Heart coffee which is quality. Oat, coconut, and Almond milks available, and a very well made menu of mixed coffees. I’d definitely recommend going here and I’ll for sure be back. Plenty of seating to work as well!

Review №19

Listen, this isn’t a place where you drop by just to grab coffee. This is a place where you enjoy a hand-crafted, delicious little masterpiece. If Starbucks has the gall to charge you $5 or $6 for a burnt, poorly-extracted espresso doused in sugary syrups and milk, then by all means this place is a steal. Come and enlighten yourself.

Review №22

The espresso they utilise has a tart taste. That’s probably because they use coffee beans that are not fully toasted. The food is delicious, but overpriced. The other beverages are savoury as well, but again overpriced. If you want coffee with a more robust complexity, go to Fair Trade.

Hip definitely describes this place. They sell 49th Parallel coffee so you know youre getting high quality artisan coffee. And the barista knows what shes doing which is always nice.

What more can you ask for, a studio, cafe, hair salon, and art exhibit all rolled into a silent movie case... I mean the only thing that would make it better is Jessica Alba making your espresso... And I could actually see this as a place shed go 📸👌

Ive turned my girlfriend into a strict espresso drinker, almost. The espresso tonic they serve is great! It sounds a little odd and it is, but its delicious! The barista was friendly and didnt mind nerding out with me about coffee, espresso, and the local coffee and barista scene. Also, the ONLY place that has served two sparkling waters for my girlfriend and myself. It sounds so little but speaks bounds regarding service. The space is minimalist, which I love, and not your typical coffee shop. Its a small shared space which seems to be the status quo of some of the coffee establishments around the greater PHX area.

The unique atmosphere definitely makes you feel like you’re drinking coffee in a futuristic spaceship museum. I enjoyed their specially crafted espresso-based drinks. I had the Abeja which has an enjoyable honey and coffee combination.

Unique coffee shop with 80s modern design. Does a good job of pulling espresso and has some original and well executed coffee beverage recipes. Got the goat caramel and salt drink - definitely recommend and I rarely get sweetened coffee beverages.

My friends and I always hang out here either to do a group study or to just simply chit-chat. The staff is welcoming and considerate. What I like about their coffee shop is the ambiance it brings whenever you enter it. It makes us feel awake and at the same time, enjoy ourselves with a cup of well-prepared coffee and desserts.

Very interesting place to have coffee in Phoenix, in a good way! Its a combination of cafe, gallery, and hair salon. I really liked the atmosphere. The music is kinda funky, but it matches the atmosphere. In my last visit, they played some kind of art video about North Korea on the wall. Well, I am from South Korea so it was kinda strange and funny :) Highly recommend if you are in town.

If and when I open a coffee shop I would want it to look like Futuro. Its worth a visit just for a tour of the space. While youre there enjoy some coffee. I got an Americano and it was simply wonderful! The space is really cool but the coffee is what will get you to come back. I think its perfect.

Review №48

The of opposite of cozy, average coffee. An uncool (and cold) minimalistic space that is unwelcoming to relax and enjoy a coup of coffee. Coffee was average considering this is supposed to be a specialty coffee store. If you are going to ONLY offer coffee to your customers (in addition to toast with butter and jam), please be sure it is top quality!

Review №52

Location was a bit hard to find, the building had a sign that was easy to miss. Inside is an odd vibe, lots of white everywhere, it felt uncomfortable. There is no area to place sweetner or cream, the server does it for you, I prefer to set my coffee myself. Aside from that, the coffee was very nice. Im not a straight black coffee drinker but it was very flavorful.

Clean, minimalist interior (all white). Amazing coffee from 49th Parallel. Attached to a wonderful gallery and the best hair salon in Phoenix. Lifestyle in a box.

Review №57

The coffee was very good, but I wasnt a fan of the shop itself. There was very little space for people to sit, I would guess maybe twenty people could sit comfortably in the store.It is also very hard to find the first time you visit. The coffee shop shares a building (and I believe is affiliated with) a hair salon. While the coffee shop is called FUTURO, the hair salon is called PALABRA. PALABRA is what the building is labeled with, so it is very easy to walk past without realizing.Essentially, if you want to stop in a place for extremely good coffee with talented baristas, this is the place. But I personally wouldnt stay long.

Review №63

I usually only go to coffee shops with pour over because its so much better tasting than drip. However, Futuros drip is excellent. I think they use a special drip machine. Ive tried their unique Tónico drink (tonic water + espresso). I wasnt a fan but its mostly because I just have to drink my coffee hot. Also, they sometimes have Le Dinersaur pastries (local baker and caterer who makes super creative food).

I like the design of the place very different from what we are accustomed to, the coffee was fine, it did not surprise me, their prepared drinks I like that they are very different, especially the marzipan, the statue of Malverde was very surprising hehe, well there 🤟🏽, the guys are very friendly and that makes it still a great place for coffee.I love that they have super rich and delicious options to eat.
