Leather and lattes: Designer coffee shop coming to Glendale

Cafes connected to department stores are nothing new. Shoppers have been stopping by Nordstrom’s Marketplace Cafes for a bite to eat between browsing for decades.

But a new wave of smaller retail stores opening food and drink concepts is hitting the Valley. At Scottsdale Fashion Square mall, the A-OK Cafe opened inside the brand new Aritzia store in January.

Soon, The Coach Coffee Shop will debut its first Arizona location in Glendale.

Glendale’s Tanger Outlets is already home to a Coach Outlet store, where shoppers can snag discounted purses, wallets, shoes and other leather goods. Soon, a Coach-branded cafe will join the mix.

It won’t be inside the Coach store, but it will be close by. The outlets are located just south of Glendale Avenue, sandwiched between Arizona Loop 101 and Westgate Entertainment District. The Coach Outlet is right at the center of the plaza.

Coach first debuted its cafe concept in New York before adding two cafes in New Jersey and one in Texas. Another is scheduled to open in California, along with Arizona’s first location in Glendale.

Coach Coffee Shops use beans from the Portland, Oregon-based Stumptown Coffee Roasters. Other locations serve a sculpted chocolate version of the iconic Coach Tabby Bag along with hot and cold espresso-based drinks, matcha, soft serve and pastries.

Everything, of course, features the Coach logo, including ice cream cones stamped with the Coach “C” and lattes topped with the logo stenciled in cocoa powder. Coach Coffee Shops also sell cafe-related merch, including pullovers and tote bags.
