  • I love this place! When we lived in the neighborhood we were regulars. Located in the Historic Melrose Neighborhood, Copper Star opened around 2006 when the neighborhood was barely gentrifying. Businesses were slowly beginning to open and the 7th Ave corridor between Indian School and Camelback was changing. Now it is a thriving neighborhood. Owner Bill Sandweg, who brought a range of experience with him such as, TGI Friday's Pizza Uno, Oregano's, & Starbucks, opened a coffee shop in an old Service station. He found local coffee roasters, got quality teas and slowly built his business with changes and additions every year, making what it is today. I just spoke with Bill a couple days ago who said 2014 was a terrific year for Copper Star, their best. That is thanks to the growing loyal customers as well as Copper Stars success. As businesses began to open Bill joined and his board members help grow small business association for that neighborhood. He is a committee member on the HTJ (Hotter Than July) Chili cook-off & salsa fest. During the Melrose Street Fair you can always stop in for a Iced Coffee or Iced Tea. Basically Bill is just an all-around good guy. He cares about the neighborhood and the quality of his business. He has hired a lot of young folks as baristas. I am sure he has help put a few through college while working there. I have never had a bad cup of coffee there. At one point they had punch cards you could redeem for a free drink. There were so many people named Mark in the rolodex box, I had Bill change my name to Zeus so they could find my card with less hassle. This is a people, pet, and neighborhood friendly place. They do have a unique drive-thru, however, I never use the drive through. I hold a firm opinion that if you intend to visit any coffee shop you should step inside the business. Most quality coffee shops are more than just coffee, they each hold a unique atmosphere or experience. Take time out of your busy day, step inside, you'll get the entire coffee making experience. Beyond the coffee they have breakfast sandwiches and pastries or light food menu. They have art installations and on some occasions live music. If you attend First Fridays on Melrose, you can stop in for a drink. Kudos to Copper Star for creating a successful local small business that everyone can enjoy and feel welcome.
