There isn't a day that I want a latte in Columbus that I don't miss Phoenix on Coventry. I love that it's locally owned and the beans are roasted right in town. Every time I pass through Cleveland, I stop at one of the Phoenix locations to buy a couple of bags of beans to take home to Columbus, where I feel like home brews and Starbucks are my only drinkable coffee options.
The baristas are wonderful. I visited yesterday after months of being away, and I was greeting with a big smile and a "I've missed seeing you!" It put me in the best mood to be treated like a regular, even though I haven't been around regularly in a year and a half.
Sure, Phoenix isn't perfect, but, as I've stated in previous ratings, I live in Columbus now, so "as good as it gets" has taken on a new meaning for me.
