So here is the deal with Echo,
Their coffee is great. However the baked goods are sparse and very overpriced just like the whole beans that he sales. Point is that yes, there are much superior beans offered here in AZ. My two favorites are Single Speed Roasters and Cortez Coffee , Cartel is awesome As well. The best part is they don't overcharge! Look, I love my whole beans from local roaster. I even buy beans from roasters in CA. When on surfing trips. Sorry to say the vibe can suck like most of the so called art on the wall. But, for a good cap and a random overpriced treat it fits the bill. FYI: don't bother asking the owner for much in the way of info. He thinks his place is a God send to us local coffee and treat lovers, however he misses the big picture of what it takes to be a true mecca for those who seek quality, flavor and culture all in the name of coffee. Perhaps a bit of focus on the culture that is catered to would render a "For Profit" establishment rather than scratching at the surface of identity and success.
