| - What a nice experience for my first time up in North Phoenix. Janelle H pointed out that City North may be negatively impacted by the depressed economy in searching for leasees for this new shopping center, but I have to say that the concept is charming and makes me want to stroll up and down High Street, possibly with a parasol.
Uh anyway, PCFW is also a charming little coffee shop that utilizes its space well and feels at once airy and cozy. The huge table at the back seems tailor-made for Yelp gatherings and I got to meet some great yelpers, sip coffee, eat a cupcake and get a super secret ceviche tip that I will cherish forever. I ordered a regular old coffee, because anyone can fancy up coffee drinks with syrups, foams and loads of milk, but the test of a coffee shop should be its pure unadulterated drip/press. I went for a half-decaf and thought the taste was still rich and not at all bitter (which happens when the machines aren't cleaned, yuck!). I also didn't vibrate home so it wasn't overly steeped and I very much appreciated that.
PCFW had a tasty-looking menu, namely the red pepper and smoked gouda soup and in the bakery case, a slice of chocolate cake that looked like pure fudge. I would go back for both items...but I didn't order either because Sarah G bewitched me with carrot cake cupcakes.
The outdoor seating is made that much more pleasant because of the corner unit location as you don't have to wave away exhaust fumes whilst enjoying friends and a good coffee.
