Mill Ave/3rd St

Mill Ave, but worth it.

Editor's note

Yes it's the ASU strip. But the Tempe Marketplace side, the riverfront trails, and the brunch scene are all legitimately good. Go early on a Saturday — you'll beat the crowd and the heat.

Snooze A.M. Eatery

Sunny brunch spot on Mill Ave known for pancake flights and bloody marys. Expect a weekend wait.

Coffee · Roaster

Cartel Coffee Lab (Tempe)

Original Cartel location. Serious single-origin pour-overs, on-site roaster, and the soundtrack of ASU finals week.
