Anyone who’s serious about their “gram” game knows that half the reason to drink coffee or visit an establishment that brews it is to get killer, double tap inducing pics. Here are our five photogenic faves for epic Instagram captures.
The Henry
Whimsical wallpaper, a mix of modern and vintage decor, and luminous natural light make this locale a grammer’s dream. The Henry Coffee Bar XV serves up a variety of caffeinated beverages alongside healthy smoothies and juices for those not jonesing for a buzz. Ask the barista for a signature drink like ‘The Wildflower’ with vanilla, espresso, steamed milk and a splash of chai and then shoot away.
La Grande Orange
This Arcadia neighborhood favorite boasts a bright namesake mural at the entry, which makes for perfect Insta background material that will ensure max likes. We recommend the Havana latte and a mouthwatering pastry from the LGO Bake Shop to make your photo complete. Not feeling a bev? You’re in luck because La Grande also scoops up gorgeous Grateful Spoon gelato that is fitting of any feed.

Fame Caffe
Rustic in all the right ways, this mid-town establishment’s interior has pallet board paneling on the walls, egg cartons on the ceiling, and a railroad trestle for a chandelier. Not to mention various art-covered exteriors around the building including a massive Chef rooster. The cold brew means business, so get ready for a serious caffeine high to help you power through an in pour of photo comments.
The Coffee Shop at Agritopia
Nestled in the urban farm of Agritopia, the adorable Gilbert café describes itself as SoHo chic. The shop is chockfull of charming picturesque settings including a rose garden patio and cactus grove placed perfectly in front of the shops entry sign. While you’re there, snag a super cute cupcake in creative flavors like Bubble Gum, Horchata, and the award-winning Coffee & Cigarettes.

Lux Central
Located on Central Avenue, Lux is a hipster’s paradise. The open concept space is decorated with a mish-mosh of mid-century modern furniture while food is served up on dishware that looks like it came straight out of grandma’s cupboard. Of course the simple brick exteriors are perfect for a minimalists feed. If you’re looking to nosh on something with your latte, the banana bread is bomb and the mac and cheese irresistible.
BONUS: Ruze Cake House
While Ruze doesn’t technically serve coffee, they do offer beverages from local darling Teaspressa, coined as ‘tea made like coffee’. The recently opened Scottsdale store seems like it was literally made just for Instagram with crisp white walls, clean marble counter tops, rose gold accents, fresh florals, and an adorable “Stop & Taste the Roses” light up wall sign. Seriously, the place is stunning from head-to-toe…we dare you to find anything unsightly anywhere. Oh, and did we mention the to-die-for cupcakes, cookies and macaroons. Let’s just say if you don’t post something from here, are you even a real Instagrammer?
