A Guide to Yuma Coffee Shops

Cafecito

Located a short stroll from the scenic banks of the Colorado River, Cafecito is one of the most aesthetically gifted coffee shops in Yuma, given its enchanting bohemian ambiance, plush couches, touches of greenery, framed portraits, and picturesque outdoor patio graced with vibrant desert flora, chic furnishings, a water fountain, shading, and the occasional musician or art vendor. In addition to cold-brewed draft coffee and locally roasted espresso, the menu features tasty breakfast bites like gram-worthy avocado toasts, oats, and acai bowls.

North End Coffeehouse

Near and dear to the heart of downtown, North End Coffeehouse treats visitors to a wholesome atmosphere underscored by exposed brick walls, a variety of seating arrangements, earnestly stocked bookshelves, art pieces speckled throughout, open mic nights, live music performances, and the tantalizing aroma of diligently roasted java. The attention to detail that has gone into designing this snug abode with a delightful balance of charm and utility makes it an easy go-to for daytime meetings with colleagues, long overdue coffee dates, and solo study sessions.

Sunshine Cafe

Nestled in the Foothills, this gem among Yuma coffee shops offers guests a dreamy desert oasis complete with rustic Americana vibes, license plates on the ceiling, comfy armchairs, accommodations for remote work, and an expansive outdoor courtyard accentuated by park benches set beneath lush green trees, the soothing sounds of water flowing through a creek bed, and gorgeous wall murals depicting local landmarks. Sunshine Cafe’s scenic grounds serve as an accomplice to thoughtfully crafted, rewardingly delicious coffee beverages like the Match Latte and cinnamon and brown sugar-sweetened Cafe De La Oya.

Sunkissed Coffeehouse

Snuggled amongst the storefronts lining an unassuming strip mall on 24th Street, Sunkissed is an intimately sized, relaxed hangout with several cute seating arrangements, photos of iconic artists, and potted plants. The staff maintains a tempting selection of signature creations like the Chagaccino and Como La Flor Latte, loose-leaf teas, lotus energy drinks, fruit smoothies, nutritious bowls, toasts, and Chilaquiles made using a cherished family recipe.

The Coffee Bean

The Coffee Bean embodies that quaint, no-frills neighborhood establishment dedicated to turning out the highest quality goods, from coffee to breakfast sandwiches to acai bowls and smoothies. It’s no wonder they’ve been in business for nearly three decades and are still goin’ strong! Whether you’d like to settle into a cozy corner and appreciate the company of loved ones over a steamy cup of joe or grab a quick pick-me-up before exploring the area, whichever the case may be, The Coffee Bean has got you covered.

Dutch Bros Coffee

Founded in Southern Oregon in 1992 by dairy farmer brothers Dane and Travis Boersma, Dutch Bros. Coffee is the country’s largest privately held, drive-thru coffee company. For those java purists bewildered that I could include as large a chain as Dutch on this list of Yuma coffee shops, please remember, they’re not very common elsewhere in the United States, so for visitors or newcomers, this energy-rich oasis in the sun will undoubtedly prove a sweet treat.

From early mornings to late nights, some heavenly beverages you may spot being served out of their pull-up window include specialty coffee drinks, smoothies, freezes, teas, and Blue Rebel energy drinks that customers can infuse with their favorite flavors.

Every cup of Dutch Bros. coffee is handcrafted – roasted by hand in the Pacific Northwest, blended by hand, and then ground and pulled by hand, ristretto-style. One more observation worth noting, their employees are relentlessly kind, attentive, and cheerful, at all times, never failing to look like they’re having the moment of their lives while on shift; super fun vibes.
