Guide to Tempe's best spots

Joe Johnston: Cappuccino for sure. Ashley or Seth are my favorite baristas.

Joe Johnston: Always ask for double sauce or "both" sauces when two are listed on the menu.

Joe Johnston: Best croissants in the Valley. The line is pretty convoluted so try to go during off times.

Joe Johnston: The "wings" are always good to share.

Joe Johnston: Very old school thai place around since the early 1980's. The owner "Oh" is super sweet.

Joe Johnston: Love the longevity of this place: great green sauce, beans, cotija cheese. A Tempe institution.

Joe Johnston: Falafel for sure, then go shopping. If you've never had Mikti Pickles, you should buy some (Cortas brand is best). Also get Rose Water and Orange Blossom Water.

Joe Johnston: Strangely good. They are proud of their stuff, but be willing to wait for the goodness.
