| - Phoenix is a coffee cesspool, except for Songbird. Lux, you say? Check its health inspection results. Copper Star? Food's good, but after I watched a barista put a utensil in a cup from which a customer drank and then use the same utensil to make new drinks, that place dropped off the list. Plus, it's weirdly full of bees. Seriously. Bees. JoBot? Loud high schoolers and a guy looking at "animal erotica" (I'm not kidding).
The thing is, Songbird doesn't just win by process of elimination (though it could). The people who work here are universally friendly, they actually know about coffee, the space is nice, it has plenty of plugs, fast WPA2 secured wireless that always works (unlike, e.g., Lux), and decent food. Oh, and the coffee's great. Is there any place else in town doing pour-over? I just wish it had longer hours, but hey, it's Phoenix.
