Oh boy. I really want to give this place more stars. I really do. I love the idea of Phoenix Public Market. Our city NEEDS hangouts like this. Ten years ago this would have been unthinkable...but I digress.\n\nThe awesome point about PPM are the employees. They are thoughtful, cheerful, caring and knowledgeable. Very impressed with the level of service from just a dessert and coffee bar. Another good point goes to cleanliness. Very clean indeed. Unfortunately...\n\nWhen you top a cupcake with a large dollop of butter frosting, you do NOT refrigerate it. The cake itself goes dry, and the frosting ends up tasting like and feeling like...you guessed it...eating a solid stick of butter. Very unpleasant. I tried the espresso and found myself dismayed by it. My espresso tasted as if the water was pushed through an orange rind. The heavy citrus suckerpunch was unexpected and unpleasant. \n\nThe cookies were fine, as were the candy bars for sale on the counter.\n\nThis is an AWESOME place to meet for a first date, etc. They just need to work out some kinks and they will have a goldmine. I will come back in a couple months. I have high hopes.
