My new favorite coffee shop is Winfield's. I've decided that it's my new "office away from office." Winfield's is a WOW Experience for several reasons. (1) The staff. Since Winfield's is non-profit, I believe the majority of the staff is volunteer. That's right. People who truly care about this place enough to make it a WOW experience. Friendly, personal, "go-out-of-their-way" helpful. (2) The menu. The coffee is a house blend which is great! I especially like the very fresh-brewed iced tea and the rasberry/vanilla italian soda. My sons love the smoothies. Baked goods are yummy. (3) Every Friday night they have live music playing, mostly jazz. Very fun and always crowded. (4) The vibe. Classy chrome, dark wood, artwork on the walls, comfortable seating. It's immaculately clean without being sterile & cold. Spotless floors. Non-sticky surfaces. Lots of great books on the shelves. Free WIFI. (5) Surprising location. It's located at an established church in south Scottsdale, really close to Old Town. There's a lot of history associated with this church. Winfield Scott was an inspirational founder of the church...he also happens to be the founding father of Scottsdale.
I'm headed there this morning. Thinking iced tea. Extra ice. Bring on the WIFI. Welcome to my office.
