Cave Creek has quite a number of gems and one new one is Firecreek Coffee Roastery. It opened in February and the day I visited had quite a steady stream of customers.

The shop is divided into four sections: Coffee house, coffee roastery, espresso machine repair / parts shop, and offices. It also has an impressive outdoor patio surrounded by a great desert garden. The surrounding buildings house art galleries, so the whole area is sophisticated in nature.

The machine is from Australia and is very rare. Mike was telling me how they had to add some of the dials themselves. They do all of their own machine repair and maintenance and had a number of machines in the back.

    I love this place! I visited for the first time a couple of weeks ago and have been telling all of my friends about them! Best coffee in AZ!

    By far the finest coffee I’ve ever had and I’ve sampled espresso all over the west/northwest. The shop, its staff, and its incredible patio absolutely rock. Stop in to meet Joe (roaster extroadinaire) and Mike (an owner who really cares about roasting and presenting a truly quality product). They will gladly share their expertise and enthusiasm for their product and your enjoyment of it). Bob
