You can find lots of things at
Luci's Healthy Marketplace & Coffee Bar. They have organic cheeses, locally brewed beer, a delicious deli, and most importantly for us -- a great coffee bar.
The coffee bar part of Luci's is quaint and comfortable. There's an assortment of tables and chairs, plus a plush corner booth. It's always sunny inside because there are so many windows, so it's a great environment for those who might not be fully awake yet. And the perfect wake-up drink at Luci's is the iced toddy. We tried one this past Saturday morning, and it really peeled our eyes open.
The toddy packs a potent caffeine kick, too. We drank half of our 20 ounce cup and started talking like auctioneers. We really didn't need that much of a wake-up call, but the 20 ounce size is the smallest iced toddy Luci's serves.
If you have some time to kill, it's well worth nursing the toddy to look around Luci's Marketplace for a bit. And if you're in a hurry, the iced toddy makes great go-go-go fuel.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
