Great coffee is hard enough to find amongst the national brands that spring up around central and north Scottsdale. These local hangouts with great coffee are typical around Phoenix. There are even a couple that have sprung up around old town (D'lish, etc..). Despite how busy they always are, the service is fast with a genuine kindness. In other words, it didn't feel forced like the over zealous and obnoxious teenagers that you find at Coffee Bean and Starbucks. We need more independently owned spots like this up north!!
