I meant to try them before that, but everytime I was down there, they were either closed or dead (as in no people). This valley seems to kill independant coffee shops... and sometime it's because the owners keep funky hours, close too early and don't have comfortable seating -my biggest pet peeve! For any coffeeshop owners reading... For gosh sakes: Get some cooshy vinyl/leather (easily cleanable) couches and chairs people! I cannot enjoy a latte on some hard wooden stool. Also, offer free WiFi, and stay open LATE (yes, even on weekends!) and play some classy subdued music. The night owls, college kids, and all us 8-5 wage slaves will thank you with repeat business!!! (Am I off my rocker, or do other feel the same way?) Chris: Romancing the Bean (the one at the Pavillions off of Indian Bend & Pima) has been closed for several months now.

I would be interested in coffee shops that serve great food. The one that comes to mind is the old Romancing the Bean in Scottsdale. They had a wait staff and a full on menu. Maybe it's the same at the Tempe location. Oh, we’re talking about anything, Mike. I would be interested in coffee shops that serve great food.

There are a lot of really great recommendations here. I will have to give them all a try! I've never heard of The Orange Table or The Paisely Violin, but both sound great. Dang!

Although they use the brand-name Segafredo Zanetti beans, they make a really good cappuccino and offer daily specials of unique flavor combos.

They also have a very unique coffee soda. Yep, Coffee Soda! (www.orangetable.net) I also like the My Florist Cafe on McDowell and 7th Ave. in Phoenix for a good bite to eat and a cup of coffee over one of their chocolate deserts. Mmmm.

There is a distinct difference. It all depends on what they title themselves as or which is the most dominant product. Epic cafe serves an ok cup as well as sandwiches and pastries, they are a coffee shop that serves food.

Every now and again i try something somewhere but no dice. I am a big fan of the B-line though. I'll have to write this list down. I find its a rare thing to find good coffee at a resaurant.

You can't go wrong, the homemade pies go great with anything off their Faema E61. This is not a good week to start a diet. The B-Line Cafe, on 4th Ave, in Tucson.

And right next door you can get some wonderful sandwiches from Pane Bianco. And now that it's a bit cooler outside (at least, it feels that way being September), we can enjoy the patio seating. http://www.pizzeriabianco.com/pane/contact.html Amanda, that’s right!

But I much prefer Seattle Espresso (not to be confused with Seattle's Best the Starbucks spin-off). They use Illy coffee from Italy and they know how to do that perfectly-timed shot. In my book, Seattle Espresso makes the only latte that requires no sugar, honey, cinnamon, etc. It is always smooth and never, never bitter. They have a few locations: 1840 E Warner Rd #136, Tempe 710 West Elliot Rd, Tempe 891 N. Val Vista Dr #d-101, Gilbert 4722 E. Ray Rd.
