OK, I didn't want to have to do this, but there are some idiots who don't have brains to blow out, though they should try (was that too harsh?)
I lived the last 4 years in Seattle. I *KNOW* what good coffee is. In Seattle, I lived across the street from Cafe Vivace and worked a block from Cafe Vita, and walked my poodle past Stumptown. I probably drank enough coffee to kill a herd of hipster buffalo during that time, and I don't remember sleeping much. My point: I'VE GOT COFFEE CRED.
I've tried some other indie coffee joints around, but the Village Coffee Roastery makes THE BEST in AZ. in my not-so-humble opinion.
The service is GREAT, the place is clean. I haven't eaten any of the baked stuff or sandwiches, so I can't vouch for that. Seems other people I observed like it well enough. But, that's all just window-dressing to the main attraction : COFFEE.
So if you are expecting Mc.Crappy coffee or StarCrap's coffee, you may be disappointed because your tastebuds are on ass-backwards.
But, if your mouth is not paralyzed and you know what good coffee actually is and tastes like, then you will love this place.
Just tell Kent I sent you, and he'll serve you up just right.
