With so many great coffee places in Phoenix, each coffee joint increasingly must have an angle in order to stand or for the rest, and I personally like Sip's.
Came here during brunch hours on Saturday. With gorgeous weather, the converted garage had a wonderful breeze flowing through the venue so it felt as if we were sitting outside without being outside, and with a live artist singing and strumming acoustic it was hard not to enjoy a perfect weekend afternoon. Boasting $5 drink specials during brunch hours, including Bloody Mary's and selected beers, the craft beer menu includes a number of IPA's and light fruity ales to enjoy, and their coffee menu has reliable coffee you can count on (average strength with nice flavor, I specifically ordered an iced Macchiato with soy). I didn't get a chance to try the food menu, but will come here if I need a place to hang out with friends. I felt comfortable working on my laptop but wouldn't recommend coming here during a weekend to work solo if that's what you're seeking, during busy hours the parking gets filled pretty quickly.
