| - I grew up around my hometown coffee house where I practically lived, so I was pretty stoked to find this place 2 miles from my house in AZ. I've stopped by here and there over the years, but now I come more often. I'd love to be here all of the time but alas I can't.
I teach and write online and many of the times, the wifi here is so slow. I've talked to the owner and he explains that PCs with viruses pound their routers with packets and it slows everything down. He said everyone should buy MACs. This sounded odd to me, but, in his defense, every time I convince the barsita to reboot the router, it's faster for a little bit. Still not as fast as other places with similar number of customers. This is why it doesn't get 5 stars from me.
I love their drinks. I get a 32oz (no idea why Joe A. said their ice teas come in only 16oz) black passion fruit tea. Totally yummy. I always buy a refill up front for when I leave. If I need a kick, I grab a large hot black and white frost, too. No idea what's in it, but it gets me flying until they close at midnight.
Ah yes, they're open until midnight, and NO where (coffeehouse) else around here is open that late. They're also on a lake where ducks are known to walk under your feet and people bring their dogs. If you don't mind the smoking, sit outside. That's the best place to sit.
And yes, parking is a challenge but well worth it.
