I don't give 5 stars often but for those of you who see my Check-in's via Yelp, you know this place is my coffee go-to! \n\n5 reasons YOU should get your coffee on at Cartel:\n1- Its local. Support your local business and PAHLEASE stop drinking corporate crap.\n2- They take their coffee seriously. Have you seen the way they cold drip coffee? or how they delicately stir lattes? Yeah, get to it.\n3- The vibe. LOVE the artsy interior and the fact they promote local artists by displaying their work through out the shop.\n4- They have two central locations for your coffee addiction convenience. One in Tempe on University and Ash. The other on 5th avenue in Scottsdale. \n5- They both offer delicious pastries and the Scottsdale location has breakfast and lunch options and just recently expanded their counter space to offer scrumptious beers.\n\nIt certainly doesn't hurt that the staff knows their stuff about coffee and that their service is courteous and real. If you don't enjoy your espresso here, you're only hurting yourself.\n\nI love you Cartel!
