Hot Dog! It’s Almost Time To Play Ball

I love the way these holidays are celebrated in our “Camelot Corner” neighborhood in Tempe. […]

I hear an Echo…

Welcome to Echo Coffee in Scottsdale, AZ. The sweet sound of success. Some people hear it, some don’t. If you listen closely, you will hear my good friend Steve Belt talking about what a coffee shop should be. To be clear, I have no idea what it takes to make a great Scottsdale coffee shop but I have no doubt in my mind that Steve knows. You see, for several […]
