Had coffee at “The Refuge“ at the Phoenix airport mid afternoon on 10-04-21. Tony and his co-worker understood customer service. Greeted you with a smile, kept conversation positive with all travelers. Both men knew how to connect on a personal level and made all customers feel special. I‘m writing this because my best friend and I spend 4 days in Sedona and customer service was hard to find. So HAT OFF to Tony and the young man ( sorry I don’t remember his name) ….THANK YOU

I love this place, it is by the B gates - American Airlines so its never crowded. You can get coffee, beer, wine, sandwiches and salads. Trust me, on weekends when its crowded, this is the place to get out of the crowded places. The owner is highly in lower and plays awesome funk music and is friendly and makes everyone feel welcome. Wine and food are good

Waited 10 minutes for my $9.00 drink. We are in an airport and there is no sense of urgency from the employees. I attempted to inform the person making my drink that I had about 1-2 minutes before they closed my gate and his response was I dont know what to tell you.Any other response could have been better. Unbelievably rude. Proceeded to move even slower. The gate attendants tried to get my drink after I was on the plane. No drink. No Fs given from your employee, $9.00 wasted from me. I will never try to get anything from your company and I will be vocal in advising others the same.

Everyone who works there is so friendly it almost catches you off guard when you’re in “airport” mode. Super refreshing interaction and equally as refreshing coffee. :) Thank you guys!

Its all been said before, yet, I will reiterate that Tony and his team have mastered the art of customer service. Besides the delicious breakfast burrito I got, I felt respected as a customer; which is unfortunately hard for some of us to come by, even when spending our hard earned money at businesses. Very friendly atmosphere. Best customer service I ever got anywhere. Youve earned yourself another regular that will make it a point to stop by anytime I go through phoenix.

Had a wonderful breakfast here. The cashier was incredibly friendly and sincere, making everyone feel at home. This location opened at 5:30 am on the Saturday that I was in Terminal 4. It is located near Gate B9. I got the Ultimate Breakfast Panini with a Late and it was delicious. Best part, there are charging stations in the seating area.

Best customer service and coffee ever! Before I even walked up to order, I told my bf “this guys seems like he’s super nice and friendly” and he was!! One of the nicest, most cheerful guy I’ve met ! I don’t remember his name but he was the brother of the owner.

This place was the hero of T4 gate B when I was there on April 29th. As many of the other food establishments started closing for the evening, Refuge stayed opened serving customers queuing up for good food, drinks and excellent customer service long after they should have closed. I will definitely stop in again when my travels take me through T4 Gate B. Refuge is not only in their name, its the environment they create❣

Do yourself a favor and get your morning coffee here. I was half asleep making my connection in PHX and it wasn’t the coffee (although it’s delicious) but the energy and thoughtfulness that these people have that gave me life! They work to the rhythm of joy and it’s absolutely contagious. Thank you guys for truly making my morning!

Every time I’m at the airport I drop by The Refuge for a coffee. The coffee is good but the people there are remarkable. Somehow, they find a way to connect authentically to every customer and make sure they leave happy and more positive than they arrived. This may sound simple but it’s so uncommon today. These people are doing something truly special and it makes a real difference. Thank you to the entire Refuge team, the caffeine is great but the positive energy is wonderful!!!!

OMG. Arrived on Saturday at 3:00pm wanting to try some food and maybe some coffee. This location was closed saying it would reopen at 4pm! That’s when my flight boarded. Why would you do this to your customers? 😭

Literally some of the best customer service we have EVER SEEN. The wonderful staff that works in this cafe is phenomenal. They are so kind, friendly, and genuine toward their customers and to each other despite being swarmed with so many customers- most of which are in a rush. I have never had such an amazing eating experience- especially in a busy airport! The food was amazing and the coffee was delicious. What a ray of light during one of our more hectic trips. Absolutely love this place. I could not recommend this more. Do yourself a favor and go to this cafe!!!!!!!

Stopped by The Refuge Coffee Food and Wine while waiting for a layover flight in Terminal 4 of Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. There was a very long line, and I had just gotten off a midnight flight from Anchorage, so I was very tired but desperate for caffeine. I decided to wait out the line since I was waiting for a flight anyway. To my surprise, I was at the front of this long line before I could even decide exactly what I wanted. I got my coffee very quickly, and was super impressed. More than anything else, I appreciated the friendliness and smiling face of the man behind the register. He even upgraded my coffee to a large when I told him Id been flying overnight for the past 8 hours. Five stars all the way!!!

The two young men at the counter who take your order are exceptional at what they do. Two of the most pleasant, and enthusiastic people I have ever encountered. They do an excellent job of upselling, and you are happy to give them your money at the end. If I owned a company that needed sales people, these are the first two guys I would recruit. The Refuge is worth the walk down to the end of Gate B. As a side note, the coffee is good too.

Let me first say that the people were very nice and helpful.Not sure how you can ruin a bagel but they were awful.I ordered 4 toasted everything with cream cheese and I got 4 PLAIN that were so rubbery it hurt to chew them. It was like they microwaved toasted bagels I don’t get it.So nice but terrible bagels. I hope they improve.

The customer service was amazing. The barrista took time with each customer in the if a busy airport and left the people waiting for coffee and food pleasantly entertained. He asked a level of passion for the role that goes beyond most. The food was also excellent. Well definitely make a point to return.

Tony and his team at Refuge coffee food and wine are awesome. We were delayed an hour so we enjoyed a glass of wine with our breakfast burrito before heading off to Cabo. Tony made our delay a lot more fun. Thanks Tony!! You helped get our vacation off to a great start!!!

Great food and awesome people the name fits. The workers all types great people if I am in section B even if not at the end closet I make the effort to go there. All the way at end but well worth good fresh food. I use a cane and I still go out of my way for them my 5th time will keep going with them. So much love to The Refuge ❤❤❤❤
