| - Phoenix Public Market: where Fresh, Local Conversation and food meet. While I have only been here a small handful of times, I can see this quickly becoming my go-to hangout AND chow down venue.
First, let me note that the atmosphere alone for those of us who like casual, urban settings - you will find great solice in this wonderful downtown gem. I sit here with my Iced Chai, and my Devils Mess (A fantastic mess of eggs, farm veg, local made chorizo, and a crunchy slab of home made 9 grain) and my trusty laptop, I have NEVER felt more relaxed in a Downtown cafe. While it is a very nice, hip feeling place chanalling what I'd like to call a slice of Portland in Phoenix, I do not feel the posh annoying stares of Hipsters, and Buisness men. I feel like I belong here, which I think is what they are going for. There is a lovely mix of community seating, and tables - the outdoor seating if truly beautiful - although I have yet to sit out there. Phoenix Public Market Cafe' has combined Urban, Industrial, and Classic Downtown Charm all into one place - AND I AM HOOKED.
I find myself invested in the sucess of this place. I really do hope downtown is good for them, I feel they will thrive in this location - being a very short half a block walk from ASU downtown campus.
Now to get to the part we all love - THE FOOD. Again as stated previous, I got a Iced Chai and The Devils Mess. The Chai was some of the best I have ever had, and I do consider myself a bit of a Chai snob - It's the only drink I ever buy from a coffee shop or restaurant. This was creamy, but not to sweet and did quench your thirst. PERFECT CHAI BLISS. The Eggs were really something special, fluffy, but the cilantro and hot peppers added the perfect complement. The 9 grain was fresh, you could tell it had been made this morning, and was crunchy from grilling on the flat-top. All around some of the BEST breakfast I've had in Downtown Phoenix.
I WILL BE BACK VERY VERY SOON!
