| - Best coffee I've had in the Phoenix area. The first time we went, we had 2 cappuccinos (for here--they won't make them to go, understandably, as it ruins the foam). One of the owners made them for us, then told us the next time we came they were on him as they were rather wet. Certainly weren't the best-prepared cappuccinos, but at least he knows what a cappuccino is supposed to be. And any way, the coffee itself made up for the poor foam--just delicious. I wouldn't say that I'm a coffee expert by any means, but the flavor of the coffee just really stood out above any other I have had in a long time. That's probably because the owners get the beans from fair-trade farms in Guatemala (which they have visited), and then roast them themselves in the ware-housey shop. We later bought 2 bags of coffee to give as gifts, a dark Guatemala roast and the Black Market Espresso (tasted the first, which was good at home but not as good as when made at the Lab). You can also purchase cool coffee equipment in the front. The only downside would be a small amount of food available. I like to have something to eat with my morning coffee, and they have a few cookies (locally made and very tasty) and some other treats, but not much in the way of a breakfast. But in terms of coffee, this place is the top!
