Coffee shops are taking over downtown Phoenix, and they're not all Starbucks
The Republic Reporter Kellie Hwang reached out to Professor of Real Estate Mark Stapp to find out why the Valley is considered the java capital of the Southwest.

Carey Master of Real Estate Development (MRED) program Mark Stapp to find out why the Valley is considered a mini Seattle for its high concentration of places that serve brew.
