So, I moved to Arizona for grad school a few months ago. I love working/studying/etc. in a cafe environment, and the closest approximation to my haunts in San Francisco or Shanghai has been Starbucks. Today I discovered an indie cafe in Glendale that is comparable, if not better, than many cafes in San Francisco. With nice and soft music, a laidback staff, free wifi and a cool environment I have found my new home in Glendale.
