Located in an unassuming red brick strip mall in Sunnyslope is Cultivate Coffee. Metal chairs with small tables line the front of the shop, and the door sits open at a 45-degree angle — just enough to hear the chattering buzz inside while still managing to keep the Arizona heat out. Smells of freshly ground Brazilian coffee and sweet treats pour out of the shop.
