Coffee in Cottonwood

Coffee in Cottonwood comes in two shapes. Knowing which one you want will save you a drive.

The drive-throughs sit on SR 89A, and they open early. The earliest opening we have on record here is 5 AM, and 7 AM is the common one across town. If you’re heading over Mingus to Prescott, or down I-17 before daylight, the highway is where the lights are on. The sit-down cafes are in Old Town and on the side streets near Main. They keep later, shorter days, and most of them close in the early afternoon, at 1, 2 or 3 PM, though one stays open until 8 PM.

Check the day before you go. Four of the seven places we list are open on Sunday, one is closed Sunday, one is closed both Saturday and Sunday, and one has no hours on record. One is closed Tuesday and Wednesday, which is the sort of mid-week closure that catches people out. All seven have a website and a phone number on record, so the listing page will tell you.

Want a table and a power socket instead of a window and a cup holder? Head for Old Town. Want speed? Head for the highway. A couple of the cafes also serve food, so a coffee stop and a light breakfast can be the same stop.

Hours in this category move around more than most, and they move most in summer, when afternoon closings come earlier. We record hours from each business and we re-check them. Still, a handwritten sign on the door beats anything on this page. If you find one of ours is wrong, use the correction link on the listing.

Coffee is served at Jerona Quality Coffee, 677 E Mingus Ave in Cottonwood. Hours are 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with Sunday closed. Two things listed here do not line up, and we would rather say so than hide them. The email address on file, info@firecreekcoffee.com, and the website we checked both belong to Firecreek Coffee, a separate roaster whose listed cafes are in Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Village of Oak Creek. The phone number on that site, (928) 774-2266, also differs from the (928) 639-1234 listed. Call before you drive over, and use the correction link if you can set the record straight.

Coffee

Wild Tonic brews at 285 Justin Dr in Cottonwood, and this page file it under coffee, which does not fit. The company's own site says the drink is made with organic honey, green tea, and a jun culture, and sells it in several lines, including a sparkling version, a hard version, and a non-alcoholic mocktail range. Pages cover recipes, a shop, wholesale, and a commercial program. The site makes claims about health that we cannot check, so we leave them out. No visiting hours are listed, so call (928) 634-5434 or email info@wildtonic.com before going.
