Great post. I was looking at this while on the light rail planning my day. Thanks.

David, I consider Dutch Bros. fair game. It all changes once they have a ton of locations. It’s not worth indexing Coffee Bean and Tea locations for example.

If chains are fair game, it occurs to me that Dutch Brothers has a location near the University / Rural station and another coming soon near the Central / Camelback station. I won’t even attempt to count the number of Starbucks near light rail stations.

You know, I always used to go to eJoy back when I worked on Mill Ave (back in the day). I wish Cartel was there five years ago!

Chris you could add eJoy and Cupz, and Seattles Best to the Tempe walk. eJoy is probably the most decent out of the group. Cartel excluded naturally.

Wow, thanks to everybody for remembering all of the shops I missed. To be completely accurate, you could argue that Coffee Plantation is also down the street from Mills End.

Cafe Istambul just purchased a three group copper domed Electra (0ne of those very old style machines) and they are serving espresso drinks right on the Lemon and Apache stop, Also Mills end is located at the main stop on mill avenue.

Fair Trade and Lux are located directly next to stations. Daily Grind, Royal Coffee Bar, and Hob Nobs are just a few blocks away from stations. Cartel, Drip, and Copper Star are little farther (approx. 1/2 mile) from stations but still walkable in mild weather.

I caught the very first westbound train yesterday in Tempe.

Fair Trade Cafe on Central/Roosevelt should be close to the Light Rail Route
