I was in downtown Phoenix headed for jury duty and missing my breakfast when my eye caught Cartel Coffee Lab. I stopped in and tried a scone with asiago cheese and zuccini, which was fabulous. Their coffee is excellent, too. However, the service was the best. The barista was very friendly and when he found out that I was doing jury duty and not 100% sure I knew where the courthouse was, he looked it up on a maps app and gave me great directions. I didn't get much of a chance to stay, but the clean lines of their decor still gave off a warm, homey vibe and I REALLY appreciated the fact that music was not blaring like at SOME coffee store franchises and their A/C was not designed to freeze people out.
