PHX Coffee (Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale: house, school, college)

[rogetsthesaurus]

Hey all -

Moved to north Central Phoenix this past July (7th St./Thunderbird). I'm enjoying it so far, but one aspect I miss of living in a college town is the abundance of coffee shops (chain and independent) that either stay open late and/or are open 24 hours. Does anyone know any good coffee shops in the Phoenix/Glendale area (not Tempe, Mesa, etc.) that are open late?

Unlimited Coffee on Glendale Avenue near 7th St. is open until midnight.

You're close enough to see if Crescendo is still in business (Coral Gables/7th St).
I haven't been in 10 years but they had live music most nights of the week, super comfy couches, a mini library and all sorts of table games - upscale.

Willow House (149 W Mcdowell Rd) was on the way home from shows (open til 12 or 1) and
Cabin Coffee (Happy Valley/67th Ave) was my after work or bike ride in the evening spot.

Willow House has been replaced by Hob Nobs. I don't know the hours of the new place.

Here's a list of late-night coffee places from the Arizona Coffee site, although it's geared mostly toward Tempe:

Xtreme Bean on Southern & McClintock is open 24 hours on Friday and Saturday night. Also live entertainment there some nights.

Not N Phx but try Mama Java's on E Indian School/36th St.

And there is Copper Star Coffee on 7th Ave. just N of Indian School; although I am not sure of their hours.

I would also add Gold Bar-- not 24/7 but a really cool coffee shop/bar in a strip mall, NE corner of Southern & McClintock, next to Bashas. Once they had a full blown outdoor jazz concert going on in the parking lot!

If you notice a lot of coffee shop places repeatedly coming up in Tempe-- it's because Tempe is the coffee shop mecca of greater Phoenix-- actually the whole southwest.

Yup especially the corner of McClintock and Southern there are 3 independents and even 2 Starbucks in the same shopping center(one in the Bashas and the other in the same strip mall).

Best coffee, hands down: Lux, on central, just north of Indian School.

My fave is Next Coffee Company. It's a little far for you at the 101 and 59th ave. But, I love their coffee and lattes! I believe it's the largest coffee house in the state or city, can't remember.
