When we say Phoenix coffee, you say Cartel. Phoenix coffee, Cartel. Seriously, though, you might have your favorite spot to relax or get work done, but this is about the roast. All ambiance arguments aside, there's a reason that celebrities hit up the roaster when they're in town. With a strong focus on natural, unwashed beans and bright, acidic flavors, Cartel-roasted coffee is a unique experience, regardless of the bean you choose. You must be made of stone if can resist grabbing a cup after passing by the Tempe Cartel during roasting hours and smelling the intoxicating coffee aroma wafting from the building. Though you can buy the beans and take them home, feel free to let the highly trained barista staff show you how it's done if you're not a confident home brewer, and don't be afraid to ask questions.
