I often receive emails from people who will be in Phoenix for a few days while visiting a convention. Typically, they are looking for a good coffee shop near the Phoenix Convention Center. So, what are the options? Good question. Hopefully, this post will help out with the ones within walking-distance. Probably within walking distance: Fair Trade Cafe on Roosevelt Website Google Map Fair Trade Cafe at Civic Space Park Website Google Map Cartel Coffee Lab on 1st Street Website Google Map One Coffee Company Yelp Listing Google Map Jobot Coffee Website Google Map Songbird Coffee Website Google Map Giant Coffee Yelp Listing Google Map Lola Coffee Bar Website Google Map And, if you have a car or take the light rail… A little further away are: Lux Coffee, Copper Star Coffee, Urban Beans, and many more! Also! If you are visiting Arizona, and flying out of Sky Harbor Airport… don’t miss 3 great coffee shops who have extensions at the airport… all in Terminal 4: Press Coffee, Lola Coffee, and Cartel Coffee (coming soon).
David Bickford Lola is no more distant from the PCC than Giant, so I’d classify it within walking distance — unless you mean the old Lola Uptown, which is now Citizen Espresso. One addition to your list: Eighth Day, which recently opened at 2nd Street and Roosevelt. Finally, for a place like Lux, “if you take the train” can easily substitute for “if you have a car.” 0 Reply October 1, 2012
Chris Tingom David: Thanks, I’ve updated the post to include Lola as a main entry. I left out Citizen Espresso, since it’s a little further north and realistically outside of the zone. But, it’s just south of Camelback if anybody wants to get there (on Central). 0 Reply October 1, 2012
Zabe7 Yup, 8th Day just opened and Shine Coffee (formally just a food truck) has done a soft opening of their first shop over on West Vernon. I heard they will have a grad opening in December. 0 Reply November 11, 2012
