Phoenix Coffee Shop Makes Food And Wine's Best In America List

PHOENIX, AZ — After a process that took more than two years, Food & Wine Magazine has rounded up nearly 100 of the best cafes, coffee shops and espresso bars in the United States and one of them is in Phoenix.

Writer David Landsel visited thousands of different coffee shops over the past two years, describing his experience as a "wild, highly-caffeinated road trip across the country."

Here is the coffee mecca that made the list in Phoenix.

Futuro: 999 N. 1st Street

Immediately upon entering Futuro, you realize the space is much more than your average coffee shop. The cafe could double as an art gallery, as the little shop is one of the most modern and proficient on the list.

Futuro also shares a space with an equally fashionable hair salon.

Landsel compiled the list for Food & Wine by completing anonymous visits to each shop, with no offers of free samples or "undue influence over the process." He did, though, consult with a collection of the best and brightest in the coffee industry.

Sey Coffee, in Brooklyn, New York, took home the award for the best coffee shop in the country.

The overall top 10 included locations in seven different states.

1. Sey Coffee, Brooklyn, NY
2. Dayglow, Los Angeles, CA
3. Cat & Cloud, Santa Cruz, CA
4. Orchard Coffee, Waynesville, NC
