Tres Leches Cafe

It’s bittersweet, indeed, as Tres Leches Cafe, a beloved Mexican coffee shop in Phoenix, prepares to close its doors for good. This last location, situated on Central Avenue just north of Southern Avenue, has been a staple for locals, serving up their favorite Mexican-inspired lattes, licuados, and aguas frescas. Marina Gaspar, who worked there for about a year as a barista, expressed her feelings: 'I loved working here. I’m super bummed.' The community has shown its support, with lines stretching out the door as loyal customers bid farewell, taking home a piece of the shop's history.

While Tres Leches Cafe is closing, its legacy lives on in the hearts of those who frequented the place. The final days saw a flood of customers, many of whom came in crying, cherishing their routine and the memories created within its walls. For those looking to relive some of those moments, the cafe’s final days offer a last chance to buy some memories, making this a place worth visiting if you're in the area.
