May I just say: this is what DOWNTOWN PHX needed! Friendly and welcoming staff who always greet with a smile that doesnt seem fake or plastered by their bosses.
The atmosphere is like out of an Almodovar or Woody Allen movie with windows with great views of its surrounding space, NYT and AZ Republic always available to read free of charge, free Wi-Fi that works extremely fast and well, cool couches that create a 'lets hang at the coffeeshop Friends style" vibe, but in the end, their coffee is what really got me going back to visit.
The Matador is a drink that seems to be unbeaten by any other place in town, its a delicious mixture of cocoa and cinammon that is to die for. Either iced or hot, its guaranteed to make you a fan. I am usually a soy latte type of guy with no whip but here, YOU WILL WANT to get the whip since its homemade and extremely delicious and I have to say, it tastes like whip cream made in another country, it tastes almost natural and not processed.
I hope they take over that whole plaza now that the pet store next door closed because they need more space! Its hard to hang out there when its really packed and some people need to stop taking up an entire table just so they can use their laptops.
