| - Loved this place. Out of all the five local coffee joints I stopped by during a trip to Phoenix, this one I'd have to say was the best of them. I drove past them while pursuing breakfast, but decided to stop by on my way back down 7th, to have a cup of coffee and figure out what to do with the rest of my day.
There isn't a ton of parking, but there is plenty of places to park on the street. It's a small, cozy, repurposed gas station as everyone else has pointed out, and the interior is simple, yet relaxing feeling. Parents with their kids sit outside of this kind of place. Older people relax with a cup of coffee with their dog on a leash at this kind of place. Younger hipsters hang out inside on their mobile devices at this kind of place. The garage door was open, so a cool morning in Arizona could be enjoyed by everyone. The couches inside were precariously cushy as they engulf you when you sit down.
The cookie I ordered as a dessert to breakfast was still warm when it was served to me. The chocolate chips were gooey and soft, and it was practically right out of a commercial, with a slow camera pan on my hands as I ripped a chunk off with a rivulet of milky chocolate stretching away. The coffee was not burnt-tasting or overly bitter, and was probably the best I had on my trip.
And everyone who worked there was polite and friendly. Several of them took the time to address my questions about the area, and if they had any suggestions of anything to do, whether it was in the city or out in Surprise where I was headed.
The experience as a whole was easily worth five stars. Convenient location, free parking, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and quality products. Easily a repeat trip next time I'm out in Phoenix.
