The time has finally come to review Solo Cafe. I've been here quite a few times, and every time that I return I get a more and more positive feeling about it. I plan to update this review after another number of months and see if I can get it to five stars, but here's what got it to four so far:
* Lots of people studying - a great place to go if you're like me and prefer the communal suffering of a busy studying environment.
* As many people have mentioned - the wifi
* Grunge music - kind of random for a coffee shop but suits this one well
* Friendly, but not overly bubbly, barristas who know a ton not only about their own coffee, but the local importers and competitors
* Reasonable prices
* and last but not least - the cool murals on the wall
Solo Cafe is definitely the best coffee shop in that Southern Tempe area. If you work in the Autoplex or AZ Mills - stop by here for sure!
