this place is impressive at first glance. the design is stunning and uses lots of rough materials - wood,concrete, steel & even some sort of lava-rock substance on one of the walls. clean lines, lots of seating. quite a contrast from the homey breakfast joint up the road.
the big open window space at the front is quite alluring (although i'm not sure how practical seeing as this is phoenix after all..)
we had an americano & a quad latte.. both were fantastic & smooth. we also had some toast with butter & local preserves (can't really go wrong here).. it was nice because one of the baristas came to ask us if we would like the ends of the bread toasted as an added bonus!
i HATE that it is cash only. i NEVER have cash on me and this will be a huge deterrent when i am racing to work in the morning and have so many great coffee shops to choose from in the area.
also, i'm not sure how he parking sitch will play out yet.. ?
