"Vovomeena, initially unassuming and nestled behind an array of large chain restaurants off of McDowell, is a charming counter-service establishment that has earned its place as a local favorite, and it’s easy to see why. If they can’t create something on-site, they source it locally. Vovomeena features an impressive coffee selection, partnering with the local Roastery of Cave Creek and showcasing a Japanese cold-brewed coffee technique. This method involves allowing cold water to slowly drip, one by one, over the coffee grounds, resulting in a stronger and less acidic flavor. Be prepared for parking challenges, and there is often a long line (though it moves quickly), so plan for some extra time." - Mcconnell Quinn, Jamie Killin
