I saw this article in The Arizona Republic this morning. I haven’t been to Unlimited Coffee yet, despite driving past it dozens of times. It’s a coffee shop on Glendale near the 51 freeway that opened in May 2005. Inside what used to be a Pizza Hut, there’s a 16-foot-long boardroom table that runs down the center of the old angular pizzeria. There’s free Wi-Fi, enough electrical booster cables to wire a revolution and café lattes that regulars promise will taste better than any corporately owned coffeehouse. The article continues: The camaraderie is exactly the concept that Hans W. Mathiesen intended when he opened Unlimited Coffee in May 2005. He pulled the boardroom table out of a warehouse to be the focal point of his coffeehouse. “The whole goal was for people to interact and escape the frenetic pace.” Unlimited Coffee 741 E Glendale Ave Phoenix, AZ 85020 (602) 252-1200 www.unlimitedcoffee.com
O I went here on my way to work last week. Really mellow. A bunch of guys, mid-morning, hammering away on their laptops. Random 80’s music. Friendly service. My soy latte was ok, but I’ll go back to try it again. The fact that it used to be a Pizza Hut cracks me up. 0 Reply January 5, 2007
