Best Roadside Coffee Planet Coffee
736 E. Ft. Lowell Road STAFF PICK: Driving north on First Avenue near Fort Lowell
Road used to be enough to send a java junkie into involuntary
detox. The territory between Speedway and River Road was a veritable
coffee wasteland. So it was with real jittery anticipation that
we watched Planet Coffee lay down roots at 736 E. Ft. Lowell
Road. One can zip in and out for a fix, or sit a spell and enjoy
the aroma of fresh-roasted beans. The barristas are knowledgeable
and pay attention to detail in mixing the extensive fare of coffee
offerings. Take your laundry--there's a 'mat next door--and make
a day of it. Also, Planet Coffee has the best coffee signage in
town, a further guarantee that you can't miss it.
