Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo? In Gilbert, to be exact. And, therefore, so are many local foodies, who flock to Romeo's for a taste of Mediterranean cuisine that can't be found elsewhere in the Valley. One could make an entire meal of just the delicious and unusual appetizers, like the Baked Bleu Tomatoes (layers of fresh tomatoes and crumbled bleu cheese baked on an Italian roll), or the Spanaki Balls (spinach, rice, provolone and mozzarella, battered and deep-fried and served with chilled marinara). But one mustn't linger only on Rome's delicious appetizers, lest one miss out on the Corinthian Salad, a mélange of roasted red peppers, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and a grilled chicken breast. Or the Chicken Omega, a fan favorite that combines strips of grilled chicken with spinach, pine nuts, and garlic in a rich white wine cream sauce. More, please!

Shine Coffee on Vernon

Coffeehouse, Tea, Coffee Shops, Best Of

Shine started off as a retro trailer coffee shop that cropped up at different farmers markets and events in downtown Phoenix. Since then, it's expanded to include a permanent coffee stand just south of Thomas Road off of Central Avenue. Though the small outdoor shack still serves up some of the best pastries in town, like raspberry peach handpies and orange blossom shortbread, the best part is Shine's "Living Room" lounge in the neighboring building. It may seem intimidating to walk into a separate building with your wickedly delicious vanilla bean latte in tow, but once inside, you'll find a space that looks like a living room anyone would be happy to call their own, with lovely vintage furniture, great local art and mellow, ambient music — the perfect environment for reading a book or getting a boatload of work done.

Sip Coffee & Beer House

3617 N. Goldwater Rd. Central Scottsdale

602-625-3878

Bars and Clubs, Coffee Shops, Recommended

This slow-to-catch-on coffee house and eatery gets its caffeinated drinks from Cartel coffee and its menu from chef Payton Curry, who has created a small list of breakfast and lunch items as well as a daily selection of pastries. Sandwiches include a BLT, chicken salad, and an Italian grinder; a hummus plate and several salads (we like the lentil and kale combo) are good for lunch. Breakfast burritos and frittatas are good early-morning fare also available later in the day and are made with local eggs and homemade bacon. Connected to Curry’s nearby restaurant, Brat Haus, via a back patio area, Sip offers 22 taps, most of them dedicated to different craft beers and finer wine. Read our review.

Since its founding by a trio of aspiring coffee roasters in Seattle in 1971, Starbucks has grown to become the largest coffeehouse in the world, with upwards of 20,000 locations in Phoenix and around the world. Named for the chief mate on the whaling ship from Moby Dick, the company didn't begin chasing the Great White Whale of world java domination until the 1990s, by which time it was opening a new store every day. A turbulent economy has since forced it to retrench, but the chain remains a powerhouse both commercially and politically, thanks to its op-ed-penning chairman, Howard Schultz. A purveyor of whole foods, Starbucks typically farms out its secret recipes to a single, Starbucks-owned bakery in each city, and now sells a good deal of its coffee beans at grocery stores. Find any and all local locations on Voice Places.

Beyond the Tempe tourists know and love for its rowdy college bars there's a different Tempe, one that's all about neighborhood joint's like Steve's Espresso. You won't find anything pretentious here, just quality coffee and a great atmosphere. All their coffee is brewed French press style instead of drip and if you like what you taste you can buy it by the beans by the pound. They're locally roasted and delivered to the shop every week meaning you can also take pride in knowing you're helping support a local business. In addition to lattes, mochas and the usual espresso drinks they've got frozen granitas and an ever-expanding selection of loose leaf teas. If you're staying to read one of their newspapers or magazines you might also want to order a frittata or stuffed brioche, both of which come fresh from the kitchen. If you're on the go try a house made muffin, scone or cookie.

For nearly a quarter century, this family-owned breakfast and lunch shop has been serving up the best omelets and hot cakes around. Return customers head for the spacious patio, and are often heard ordering the signature Spinach Florentine, an Italian-inspired three-egg number with fresh spinach, mushrooms and bacon and topped with Monterey jack cheese and hollandaise sauce. Pretty much everything comes served with potatoes and an English muffin, and if it doesn't, we recommend ordering some-the muffins are baked-fresh yummy, and the potatoes are better than the ones Mom used to make.
