UPDATE 2/8/06

Well, I had to take a star off because the Spanish Latte at LGO (Le Grande Orange) seriously kicks ass. I hate to say it, but Hava Java just can't hold a candle to it. But I still really like Hava Java for coffee and it is a nice place to sit. It also had the bonus of being connected to a genuine gelatoria.

++++++++++++++

The best coffee I have had in Phoenix. I wouldn't give it 5 stars in the greater coffee universe, but it is way better than what you will find at Starbucks or Coffee Plantation (which hardly qualifies as coffee in my book). Until I find better in Phoenix/Scottsdale I will let the rating stand. Bonus points for being connected to a gelato shop. Baked goods/pasteries are average. Pleasant atmosphere.
