Eeeeeeeee.  Fool me once, shame on me.  Fool me twice, shame on me, yet again.  I keep wanting to love Copper Star for many reasons, but just can't get over that one major issue I have each time.\n\nUpon giving Copper Star another shot, met with the same results we were.  I guess it should be a hint when a coffee shop gets awarded Best of Phoenix for their muffins and baked goods, but never a mention about the coffee?  That's kind of how it feels here.\n\nThe baked goods are quite good.  The cupcakes and muffins are very fresh, almost shockingly.  The place itself is quaint, delightful and has a very neat look - great idea with the gas station theme.  Coffee itself though, I could do without.  Automatic pulled shots that were well over 40 seconds.  Cappuccino that wavered between watery and milky, to a faint, faint background of burnt-roast-taste.\n\nCSC is probably one of the better places to get a baked good in town.  If coffee is really your thing though, head east a half mile.
