Inside the Bungalow

Inside the Bungalow is the coolest place for strong, tasty coffee in Mesa. The java here is robust and potent, with house blends strong enough to put a spring in one's step without leaving a bitter taste in the mouth. But Inside the Bungalow's appeal doesn't end with the coffee — the building itself is a renovated historic home just off Robson and Main streets, with a quaint little tower jutting up above the shingled roof. There's a spacious patio with umbrella tables to shield patrons from the sun, and plenty of room for coffee talk inside, too — three rooms with hardwood floors, one including a cozy fireplace. With the homey, old-world charm and heady roasts at Inside the Bungalow, who needs a drive-thru? Not us.
