Stopped in after enjoying some gelato next door. Immediately I felt like I wasn't in Phoenix at all, but Olympia.. except the whole local-coffee-shop thing was done better at Hava Java. Dim lighting and the slim layout keep it cozy, and there are tables outside as well.
I didn't have the coffee, but ordered an italian soda and FOR ONCE it was made the proper way: fizzy, not loaded with half and half, and hardly sweet. Very refreshing!
Also I should add our barista was pretty cute.. a cafe is ten times better when you have some eye-candy in there.
I'll review it again after I have the coffee and sit and enjoy it a bit.. until then though, it doesn't feel fair to get five stars.
