Good food is often found in the most unexpected places. I found the best breakfast burrito 2 years ago at Bomberos Cafe and Wine Bar, but it had closed recently for reasons other then good food. 

Left to look for a replacement I tried breakfast burritos in many other places and most were good, but ordinary. Then I finally took to eating something at Cartel Coffee which I frequent for their truly amazing high quality coffee including the rich flavor and unique coffee from the Clover machine which I highly recommend and which you'll need to drink there, not from a paper cup.

This station is called Park Central due to the location next to Park Central, an old mall transformed into offices with a few restaurants.  Park Central Mall was finished in 1957 which was on the outskirts of town.  It replaced an old dairy farm.  Over time the mall died out as people headed to newer enclosed malls. 

Today Park Central has some bad opinions and it could be used better, but Phoenix has space and there is no need to increase density to this area while so many other lots remain empty.  Some of the current occupants include The Good Egg, one of the busiest Starbucks in the city, a wonderful delicious Thai Basil plus locations for Banner Health Systems and St. Joseph's Hospital.
