Unlimited Coffee on East Glendale Avenue is a Cheers without the alcohol
December 29, 2006 Posted by Chris Tingom Filed under Coffee
I saw this article in The Arizona Republic this morning. I haven’t been to Unlimited Coffee yet, despite driving past it dozens of times. It’s a coffee shop on Glendale near the 51 freeway that opened in May 2005.
Inside what used to be a Pizza Hut, there’s a 16-foot-long boardroom table that runs down the center of the old angular pizzeria.
There’s free Wi-Fi, enough electrical booster cables to wire a revolution and café lattes that regulars promise will taste better than any corporately owned coffeehouse.
The article continues:
The camaraderie is exactly the concept that Hans W. Mathiesen intended when he opened Unlimited Coffee in May 2005.
He pulled the boardroom table out of a warehouse to be the focal point of his coffeehouse.
“The whole goal was for people to interact and escape the frenetic pace.”

I went here on my way to work last week. Really mellow. A bunch of guys, mid-morning, hammering away on their laptops. Random 80’s music. Friendly service. My soy latte was ok, but I’ll go back to try it again. The fact that it used to be a Pizza Hut cracks me up.

[…] Because of the set up, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Unlimited Coffee is a daily hangout. In 2006 the Arizona Republic called it “Cheers without the alcohol.” Interesting. […]
