I am looking for a place I can go to late nights – 11PM or later in the east valley/south Scottsdale area. Wanted to check out Contraband but cannot find an address. On Ash in Tempe south of University. I phoned Jamaican Blue and the phone number was disconnected.
Melissa Wow. I have not been there in years, but I spent many, many nights there when I was a youngin’. It’s got to be one of the oldest coffee shops in the Valley. I think it opened around 1993 or so. 0 Reply April 25, 2008

Jen Melozky Why? How come? Who’s got an explanation? I don’t get it… Are we going to be witnesses of the extinction of ALL the best independent coffee houses in town? Come on PEOPLE! Let’s support LOCAL non-chain Coffee Houses! I try to vary my visits between INZA, Lux, Next, Jamaican, MamaJava and The Village; depending on the area where I’m at… I will hate to see those places close! Come on!! I have put my two cents… And YES! I am frustrated! Sorry! 0 Reply April 28, 2008
lisa If you’re looking for a better alternative out there try the Village Coffee Roastery on Hayden and Via De Ventura. 0 Reply May 4, 2008
