10 Best Coffee Shops Near The Downtown Phoenix Campus
Allison Gargaro

For all downtown campus students, you know hanging out at a coffee shop is the best place to get studying and relaxing done at the same time. Whether it is between classes or time for a study break, a coffee shop is the perfect place to go.

The downtown Phoenix campus at ASU is a very artsy and hipster place to live. No matter what street you walk, drive or bike down there are murals painted by local artists, hidden delicious restaurants and many coffee shops. Students on the Phoenix campus major in journalism, pre-med, event planning, non-profit and criminal justice. All of these majors require a lot of study breaks.

Here is my list of the top 10 coffee shops in Downtown Phoenix. I hope that this list will make your trip to Phoenix worthwhile. If you have any other recommendations, I would love to hear some more places to check out.

1. Songbird Coffee & Tea House, 812 N. Third St.
Songbird is my No. 1 choice because you can't beat their outside area with a porch swing (A PORCH SWING), and they also make a great thai iced tea.

2. Lux Central, 4402 N. Central Ave.
Lux has some of the best mac and cheese I have ever had. It is a definite must when you want a pick-me-up latte and a bite to eat.

3. Jobot Coffee & Diner, 918 N. Fifth St.
Jobot is open 24 hours for you night owls and is a great place to try out some crepes and stop by the local book store

4. Cartel Coffee Lab, 1 N. First St.

5. Phoenix Public Market Cafe, 14 E. Pierce St.

6. DeSoto Central Market, 915 N Central Ave.
Desoto Central Market just opened up on the corner of Central and Roosevelt. This is a one-stop destination for all of your wishes. Not only is there a coffee shop but a flower shop, meat market, wine bar and tons of restaurants. You can eat inside at one of bars or relax in a plush chair next to your best friend.

7. Lola Coffee Bar, 1001 N. Third Ave.

8. The Velo Bike Shop and Cafe, 828 N. Second St.

9. One Coffee Co., 1 N. Central Ave.

10. Fair Trade Cafe, 1020 N 1st. Ave.

Downtown Phoenix has so much to offer, and it's just a shuttle ride away from the main campus. I hope that my recommendations will make your next study break a little bit easier.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
