About coffee shops in Prescott AZ

Downtown Prescott AZ has a tight cluster of independent coffee shops within a few blocks of the Courthouse Plaza, plus a few destinations a short drive out. Local roasters dominate - the chain coffee scene is mostly limited to Highway 69.

Downtown core picks

The Raven Cafe (142 N Cortez) opens at 7:30am with an all-organic espresso bar, food menu, and a deep craft-beer list later in the day. Founding Fathers Collective (218 N Granite) runs a coffee bar by morning that turns into a self-pour taproom by evening - the latest-open coffee in town. Cuppers, Wild Iris Coffeehouse, and a half-dozen smaller indie shops fill out the rotation.

What to order

Most local shops pour from regional Arizona roasters. Pour-overs and seasonal lattes are the consistent strengths across the indie set. Drip coffee is universally good and cheaper than the third-wave specialty options.
