Super cool place. My wife was shooting a wedding nearby, and I had to get some work done and coffee in my system. I checked Yelp for a nearby shop, and Elevate piqued my interest.
1st off: I'm a major coffee geek. This coffee doesn't scratch my itch at all. But that's okay, because every shop has different goals, which brings me to the rest of the place.
Atmosphere: Beautiful shop. Somewhat commercial feeling, but they did great considering they're in a mall. Love the custom table tops, local art, smart branding, comfortable chairs and good meeting spaces.
They have live music events. I might have to drive up from Tempe just to check it out.
10 cents from every purchases goes towards a water mission. Great!
I would love to learn more about what's behind this business, but it's definitely off to a good start for me.
