From the Mailbag:

I am going to be coming down to the area at the end of March and i was wondering if you could tell me if there are any drive through espresso stands that I should hit when I am in the area? I am from Seattle and I always love to go to the independent coffee stands whenever possible. I haven’t seen any mention of them on this web site. — Brian

Sorry Brian, but I can’t think of a single espresso joint that is only drive through. There are a few shops that include drive through, but I’ve got two legs so I always go inside.

  1. I might be wrong, but doesn’t Starbucks have a walk-up/drive-thru at University and Hardy in Tempe? Otherwise, I second Chris on this one.

  2. Weather & Coffee is your best bet, frankly. It’s on Bell Rd. and the 51 freeway. On the southwest corner. They have a drive thru.

  3. We have a coffee hut in almost every large parking lot in Bozeman and I know they are getting more popular in Nashville and on the West Coast.

    I’m surprized there are not any kiosks or huts in AZ!

    They do pretty good business..

    ..be bold

    If we had a drivethrough i would suggest it. Though at that point it would probably be more environmentally healthy to walk into one of the shops more centrally located to the Phoenix-Metropolitain area. But then again, what did the environment ever do for us.

    Coffee Cabana in Mesa has a drive through, as does the little coffee shop in Papago Plaza in Scottsdale.

    The Daily Rush (Scottsdale) is also drive-thru, as is the Xtreme Bean in Tempe. But most of the good places in this area are walk-in and sit-down. I’m a firm believer that paper cups ruin coffee.
