| - King Coffee is my favorite spot to escape the daily stresses of school. It's right across the street from ASU School of Music (as well as the ASU Art Museum), so I'm there almost every day I go to school.
About the space:
Very cool ambience; I especially like that they have local artists on the walls of varying multimedia. The other biggie is that the place is seriously unpretentious (unlike a certain other nearby coffeeshop, no t no shade).
The coffee shop expanded in August 2016 and it's felt like home to me ever since (previously the space was just a little too intimate to be comfortable). They have two little nooks for those who want to study in peace as well as comfy chairs, couches, tables, and outdoor seating. Re: outdoor seating, I've seen plenty people park their dogs for a sec and enjoy a nice latte outside with their furry companions. Like most coffee shops, there is water that you can bring your pup as well.
About the food/drink:
My favorite drinks to get are: the cold brew (I would say this is a King Coffee favorite? It seems popular, from my exploits eavesdropping on others in front of me in line.), an iced lavender earl grey, and an iced rooibos tea latte.
The sandwiches are pretty good; they come pre-made daily and are grab-and go. If you buy them in the evening, usually they are discounted. I love their new veggie burritos; they come with salsa and are great slightly warmed. There's a vegan matcha cake they have occasionally that is to die for. Their cheese danishes are also super delish. Sometimes they have the most amazing and huge honeycrisp apples for a pretty affordable price.
About the service:
This is my favorite part of King Coffee. I'm friendly with most of the baristas/owners because they are such friendly and kind people. Even when I'm dead from lack of coffee, they help brighten my day. Quite often if I'm wearing a cute outfit for the day, for instance, one of the baristas will compliment me; these people are kind, hip, and easy to talk to. Having a friendly connection with the staff is a huge motivator to come in.
Some of my favorite events have happened at King Coffee as well. There used to be weekly poetry nights. Now a great poetry organization called Criss Cross Poetry uses the space as their monthly venue. They've also hosted benefit concerts for refugees and generally are great spaces for musicians.
Btw, they have a loyalty punch card system: if you get 10 punches, you get a free drink. If you get 10 cards each with 10 punches, they give you a free King Coffee t-shirt.
