It’s no surprise that Chandler is home to some of the best coffeehouses in Arizona. And sometimes—especially in Arizona—coffee is a drink best served cold. And even-though iced coffee may be your first pick, consider a cold brew coffee. Iced coffee is essentially hot coffee poured over ice, whereas cold brew is made by soaking coffee beans in cold water for 12 hours or more. The result is a sweeter and smoother coffee that tastes more flavorful and less bitter. For some of the best cold brews in town, check out these Chandler coffee shops.
Peixoto Coffee Roasters
In the time this Downtown Chandler roastery and coffee shop has been open, it has made an indelible mark on Arizona’s coffee scene while making Chandler a must-visit destination for true coffee aficionados. While their menu is extensive (espresso drinks, pour-overs, drip coffee, lattes, ciders, matcha drinks, tonics, and iced teas), their cold brews are just the thing to satisfy your caffeine craving on warm day. For something different, try one of their specialty cold brews including the coconut cold brew, made with house-made coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk syrup and topped with toasted coconut flakes, or the peach cardamom, a peach nectar infused with cardamom simple syrup and topped with cold brew and a sprinkle of cardamom.
