The Gold Bar Expresso cafe is a true gold nugget find and is an indie. It is one of the few places that can accommodate the whole family listening to excellent live jazz music on Friday and Sunday evenings without any cover charge. KJZZ jazz program personality Paul Anderson often sits in to join the group which features an excellent vibes player (very rare to hear in Arizona). The Gold Bar doesn't do French Press coffee (bummer) and their brew isn't exceptional but their pastries are excellent (especially the Apple Pie with whipped cream atop without additional charge. Check the place out if you like java and jazz as well as a drop in place with plenty of outlets for using your laptop as many ASU students and others do. Parking is plentiful.
