For months friends have been encouraging me to visit Conspire and today the weather was nice so I stopped in for a visit. Since Conspire has very limited indoor seating it isn’t a good choice for a large group, unless the weather is nice. If the weather is nice, you have your choice of about 3 park benches in the yard. That’s where I sat (along with some friends). The inside of the shop is small and cozy, with bar seating. It’s a single room with a variety of grocery / art products. Along the front wall is a counter with an espresso machine. The barista on hand today made my drink and asked me if I wanted my drink “for here.” My cappuccino was $2.75 and they did a great job with it, as you can see in my photo. I’ll definitely be back for more. The exterior of the building is painted with a mural. There are images of sharks, contraptions, and other shapes on the side of the building. While seated on the park benches you’ll be able to strike up a conversation with the people walking past. Conspire 901 N. 5th St. Phoenix, AZ 85004 Phone: (602) 237-5446 Twitter: @conspirephoenix
Yuri Artibise Conspire is my favorite meeting place downtown. Great coffee and baked goods, especially for vegans. 0 Reply October 29, 2009
Matthew Petro Glad you made it over there! I love their coffee and their vegan donuts are great. I really think they have the best espresso in CenPho. 0 Reply October 30, 2009
Chris Tingom Dave, it is North 5th St. Sorry about that, I updated the address in the post. 0 Reply October 30, 2009
Chris Tingom Glad to see so many of you love Conspire! I will definitely be back. Curious: How do you all feel about the theme? They have a rebel kind of a purpose and it appears to work. I’m just curious how many of their customers would equate themselves with this lifestyle? 0 Reply October 31, 2009
Minor League Rocker Me, not so much. I’m a pretty regular sort of character – not a fregan, serial protester or activist. Aside from the coffee, what I like about Conspire is that it’s a great place to go and talk to people you know, and run into people you met before. It’s a pretty inviting place. 0 Reply November 1, 2009
Minor League Rocker Luis, they get it from Cartel Coffee Lab. At least the beans for the espresso. Not sure about the drip. 0 Reply November 2, 2009
Jane X hey they started doing a drip a few weeks ago so don’t let that deter you! 0 Reply November 18, 2009
