鈥淲e鈥檙e not just another coffee shop; we鈥檙e a piece of Flagstaff鈥檚 heart, serving up quality brews and building connections one cup at a time,鈥� reads Wicked AZ Coffee鈥檚 website. Opened in 2001, Wicked AZ Coffee is owned by Shawn Reed, who took his passion for great coffee from Grants Pass, Oregon to Flagstaff where it has become a community staple.
鈥淲hen I think back, I love our beginning story,鈥� says Reed. 鈥淸I love] the direction and growth of the company but that all started changing around 2015/2016 when the city moved in a different direction and we saw a lot more growth and many coffee shops approved within our city.鈥�
Wicked AZ Coffee鈥檚 unique and locally owned drive-thru is an iconic site to see, passing by either of their locations in Downtown Flagstaff or the Westside off of Historic Route 66 you鈥檒l witness kind baristas serving up cars every day of the week. Wicked AZ Coffee is one, if not the only, coffee spot in town that serves Flagstaff鈥檚 community every day of the week, both early and late.
鈥淢y favorite drink is a wicked coffee with caramel sauce, nonfat milk, or nonfat chocolate,鈥� says Reed. 鈥淢y recommendation is to ask the Wicked customer whether they have a sweet tooth or not, and then I'll recommend a drink from there accordingly.鈥�
The menu consists of coffees, smoothies, iced, hot, or frozen drinks, hot chocolate, Italian sodas, and small bites like muffins and donuts. Their signature Wicked Freeze is a mainstay staple, and their seasonal menus are carefully crafted for Flagstaff鈥檚 four seasons. Their 鈥淪ecret鈥� menu can be found on their website, featuring creative mixed beverages such as the Bob Marley鈥攁 Coconut and Banana Mocha, the Grasshopper鈥攁 Cr猫me de Menthe Mocha or the Love Potion鈥攁 Rockstar with Lime, Strawberry and Passion Fruit.
鈥淚'm extremely excited and happy that we won,鈥� says Reed. 鈥淚t's taken years to win this honor. I just want people to know that we have more than just coffee beverages, we have the best smoothies in town too.鈥�
