I'm a big fan of anything the Plus Minus Studio guys do. That includes Royal at the Market. When I heard Royal was opening a second location at the new Urban Grocery (the first has since closed), I was excited to have it just a few blocks away.
The space doesn't disappoint. Although small, it is an excellent example of urban reuse. The wood features are recycled from old flatbed trucks. Some of Plus Minus' beautiful furniture is also on hand, really giving this little cove in the back of the market some character.
Hayes and Co. brew strong yet smooth espresso drinks and Phoenix's best iced coffee. (I said it! Take that, Fair Trade!) The adjacent room is a nice spot to hang out. I'm excited to see what additions they come up with for this room, as I feel it can be a nice co-working spot for some of the downtown coffee faithful.
