Peixoto Coffee Roasters – Chandler, Arizona, USA
Peixoto Coffee Roasters is one of the spots that made our list of the best coffee shops in the United States last year. And, it seems like people still can’t get enough of the beans here. Why? The coffee here comes from the owner’s family farm in Brazil, Fazenda Sao José da Boa Vista. At Peixoto (pronounced pay-sho-tow), they grow their own coffee, import it and roast it especially for the store. A true crop-to-cup experience that tastes incredible. It’s a sustainable family business that is an absolute delight.
