A Coffee-Lover's Guide To Phoenix: 3 Best Coffee Shops In The Area

Coffee shops are a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and Phoenix features some java jives with serious game.

Whether you're looking for locally-roasted beans, a sip of espresso, or the perfect dark-roast, Phoenix definitely delivers on the quality and quantity of great local coffee shops.

Here are three noteworthy coffeehouses in the Phoenix area:

Peixoto Coffee Roasters

Peixoto is a family-owned coffee shop that serves customers "from crop to cup." The family farms the coffee in Brazil and imports it to Arizona for roasting and serving. The shop has curbside pickup and serves some seriously delicious coffee. If you're looking for something sweet, try a Nitro Float. You can't go wrong with a cup of cold brew with a scoop of creamy gelato inside.

The Royal Coffee Bar & Roasting Company

Royal Coffee Bar is a coffee shop and roastery that was founded in 2006. This family-owned coffee bar serves coffee and espresso drinks in a "classic European café style." If you're looking to try something new, go for a Lavender Latte.

Cartel Coffee Lab

Cartel Coffee Lab is a "seed to cup" coffee experience. You can grab a bag of locally-roasted coffee beans to brew at home or pick up a cup of coffee to enjoy right away. Try the new Desert City Dark Roast. The website suggests pairing it with a Neapolitan Shortbread Cookie.
