Bergies Coffee Roast House
Gilbert, AZ
Share a cuppa (stories about the owner, building, history, name)
More than two years ago, when I met my friend Cherie Scott for tea here, she suggested I write a positive blog about coffee and tea shops. The idea for “Coffee CommuniTea” started brewing at Bergies!
Perks (what I really like!)
- Its location. Brothers Brian and Bruce Bergeson opened the doors to Bergie’s in Gilbert’s historic Heritage District in early 2009. It earned a New Times “Best of Phoenix” award that year.
I enjoyed the comfy seating in intimate rooms.
Photo: @2013 CScott - Cottage environment with comfy, private sections
- Two shady patios
- Knowledgeable baristas
- Delicious tea. Even though the menu focuses on coffee, I was pleasantly surprised at the knowledge of the barista who helped Cherie and I on our return visit. She introduced me to a special “Celebration” blend of teas, which was fruity and delightful when brewed later at home.
What’s Brewing (coffee, tea, food)
- Quality coffee, custom roasted by the brothers themselves
- A limited number of teas
- Online ordering available
- Pastries and desserts

The Grind (what I would change)
Our visit was delightful. Why it’s taken me so long to feature this charming place, I’m not sure. But, I highly recommend you check it out.
Percolation Factor (activity/ environment/energy/service)
- Local musicians on Saturday evenings
- The brothers chat every Tuesday from 11:15 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. on “Culinary Confessions” on AM Radio 1440
