Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
It’s a coffee Renaissance in downtown.
Just got the lowdown from the guys at Tempe’s Cartel Coffee Lab that they’re opening a second location in the heart of Downtown, at 1st Street and Washington (right across the street from the new CityScape development). The timing is hazy, because they have some construction to do to get the space ready, but hopefully they’ll set up shop by the end of the year.
Cartel joins an ever-growing roster of hip coffee hangouts in the area — two Royal Coffee Bars, two Fair Trade Cafes, Conspire, the soon-to-open Giant Coffee, and the also soon-to-open second location of Lola Coffee.
People, we are gonna be wired for the 21st Century.
