Let’s Meet for Coffee

by Mike Hunter

Coffee_0514Doing the quick morning (or afternoon) meeting at a local coffee house has become a standard in doing business. With Wi-Fi, small food offerings and convenience to nearly every business hub in the Valley, these make our list of some top local “business-friendly” coffee spots.

Copper Star Coffee
Housed in an old gas station, this spot has been rigged to appeal to the small, impromptu meeting. Great service and plenty of indoor and outdoor space make this unique coffee house a hub in the Melrose district. Its locally roasted coffee and baked-fresh pastries may make this a better morning meeting option.
4220 N. 7th Ave., Phoenix
(602) 266-2136

Lux Coffee Bar
This is a quaint coffee spot that gets crowded but serves up amazing coffee, treats and small meals. The living room-style urban modern appeal has made this a comfort zone for downtowners and a great meeting space (mostly in the off hours).
4402 N. Central Ave., Phoenix
(602) 327-1396

Urban Beans
Living up to its name, this urban coffee house serves up incredibly flavorful, rich coffee and has a very nice breakfast and lunch “small plates” menu. It has both indoor and outdoor seating; meetings here are not too private, but are rich in atmosphere and flavor.
3508 N. 7th St., Phoenix
