| - I was totally hoping to give Cartel a 5 star review, because the service, vibe, and concept are AMAZING. Unfortunately, I wasn't particularly impressed with my coffee. I ordered one of the dark roast single brews, and just like every other locally owned/operated coffee house it was weak, and sour... not much better than Pike's Place from Starbucks.. so sad! I don't consider myself an expert on coffee, but I've had some incredible stuff in SF, and can't find anything that comes close, locally.
Also, when I see all of these super high reviews, I come to wonder how much of the product judgement is placed on fluffy drinks, like mochas, or lattes. I judge a coffee house on dark roast with cream.. no sugar.. no choco yum yum.. no hazelnut delights.. just.. coffee.. and good basic coffee in Phoenix doesn't seem to exist. :(
