The Coffee Shop at Agritopia

The Coffee Shop at Agritopia in Gilbert, AZ

I was sorting through my photos last night and came across some of Agritopia (www.agritopia.com).  It’s an interesting little community concept in Gilbert, Arizona, near Phoenix. 

I stumbled upon The Coffee Shop and fell in love with it.  I could go there in the early morning, set up my laptop, have a cuppa, and watch the sun come up.  It’s heaven there.  The bakery is also to die for – or was a couple years ago.

Agritopia is a community created by the Johnson family of Johnson Farms.  The idea was to bring people closer together in a small neighborhood-like setting…to have restaurants, shops, and services in the neighborhood. 

Located in the same plot as The Coffee Shop is a wonderful little Farm Stand, which is open now.  There’s also a little family friendly restaurant with the best onion rings – Joe’s.  On the weekends families flock there, dining outside, with their children enjoying the fresh air, burgers, and fries.  Agritopia has dining, coffee, fresh produce, and excellent bakery. 

All of this is located in a beautifully designed neighborhood where cotton was once planted and harvested.   The land and has a rich history to share with you, if you are willing to sit and listen.
