About
Nestled in uptown Phoenix at 4802 N 16th St, Case Study Coffee Lounge began as a furniture showroom by Phoenix native William Douglas. When espresso met craftsmanship, a new idea brewed.
After developing a wood allergy, William shifted gears but not his attention to detail. He built out a cozy, artisan café that feels as handcrafted as the coffee it serves.
