In the back of the flower shop, Rowan Tree lies a treasure. This coffee shop, Jasmine Jo, sports delicious caffeinated sips as well as pastries supplied locally.

Lez Get Baked
3801 S Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85040
This adult-based bakery caters to those who like Mary Jane in their desserts. We go here for our “special brownies” — and yes, even our “special banana bread”. Cue the entrance of the Panic Attack, the answer Lez Get Baked has to creating a delicious pastry from organic bananas and Ghirardelli chocolate. If you’re looking to get a little bit more out of your snacking, you can also opt to get the Panic Attack that’s infused with 20mg of hemp-based Nano CBD. In fact, various hemp-infused pastries can really change your day, so whether you need some banana in your life or not, you can trust Lez Get Baked to get it right!
MFG Coffee
522 N 7th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85007
Another java hut with much-loved banana bread, this drive-thru coffee shop should be known for their flavorful banana nut loaf by now. A slice of this comes cool, thick, and perfectly complements a drink like the Aztec Mocha. If you’re more into a non-coffee kind of beverage, MFG also does awesome lemonade concoctions like The Portland Pump or The Puget Punch — and if you’re exceptionally hungry, add that banana bread as well as one of their various paninis.
