I’m a big fan of every place here in Tempe you’ve listed, what a great resource and am looking forward to visiting your recommendations that are normally outside of my sphere of influence. I wanted to add that the Solo Cafe on Baseline/Mill is TOTALLY awesome..very good stuff. Second, the eXtreme bean needs to be mentioned due to the fact it’s probably the busiest independent coffee shop (consistantly) in phx. Keep spreading the good word,
Regards,

I know most people over 25 don’t like Mill ave, but if you can stomach it, E-Joy is another great local cafe.
