| - Any place that periodically offers Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies gets 5 stars in my book! While doing some heavy studying I decided I needed a coffee place to go to besides Starbucks because I was getting so sick of it. So, I was in Tempe one day and searched for coffee places and decided to give Coffee Cartel a try. Let's just say....I'm now addicted! I want it everyday! They have the best mochas ever, hands down. And their cookies are to die for. mmmm...
I was a bit intimidated before I walked in because I had no idea what to expect. The building is in the back of the parking lot, no windows really and is just very inconspicuous. I walked in and the place was pretty packed. There are tables for people to sit at in groups of 4, some random chairs, even a hair dryer chair you see at the salon, and then two long tables with lots of outlets for computers. I love outlets!!!! The decor is very urban, concrete floors, open ceiling, garage door in the back. I loved it. Music is definitely not 'coffee-shop' music, but contemporary and up beat. Loved it as well!
In the days I spent there studying I got mochas, a few cookies and their dirty chai. I had no complaints about any of them. The mochas were actually pretty amazing and so were the cookies.
If you haven't been here, give it a try. It just has an awesome atmosphere and equally awesome coffee and snacks.
