Mythical Coffee was co-founded in 2018 by Eric Hervey, Katjriana Marker, and Courtney Gifford, officially opening its first cafe in Gilbert, Arizona, in December 2019. The company initially utilized shared roasting equipment at a partner facility before transitioning to in-house roasting operations. The brand is documented for its commitment to specialty coffee and its distinctive naming conventions, which draw inspiration from world mythologies to make complex coffee origins more accessible to customers. Today, the roaster maintains a presence in the Phoenix metropolitan area with locations in both Gilbert and Scottsdale.

I was able to verify the brand's own physical cafe and online store, as well as one third-party local retailer; I could not find evidence of the brand being sold in major national grocery chains or other online marketplaces.

These references come from public store locators, retailer listings and brand materials. Last checked Nov 14, 2026. They are research links, not proof of current stock or a buying recommendation. Verify availability, price and location directly with the source.

Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-17. This company overview is not a tasting review. Original tasting reviews are labeled separately when they exist. Ownership, roasting and sourcing details are attributed to documented sources. While the brand is based in Gilbert, Arizona, the user prompt identified it as being in Tempe; I have verified the primary operations are in Gilbert with additional locations in the region.
