Serves 2-4. These shops will cure the coffee craving By Amanda Goossen Last year when I arrived in Phoenix there were two things I was looking for, coffee and cupcakes. The cupcakes were taken care of almost immediately when I discovered Urban Cookie and Ollie Cakes in Central Phoenix. The coffee took a bit longer. Fifteen months and hundreds of cups of coffee later, I have discovered some of the most delicious, fl avorful cups of java I’ve ever had the pleasure of sipping. To qualify as a supreme coffee joint, it not only needs a great coffee bean, but be a place where I want to hang out with a book or my computer and it absolutely, positively must have homemade baked goods and snacks. Terra Java 3619 E. Indian School Road This is that comfortable little coffee spot everyone loves and keeps in their back pocket for a study room, a meet-up with friends or quite simply just a great meal and cup of coffee. After renting out the Mama Java kitchen for 18 months for her catering and pastry business, Terra Bites, Omei Eaglerider bought Mama Java from longtime owner Patrick McKay. “Owning a place like this was a long- term goal,” Omei said. “It just happened ahead of schedule.” Turning neighborhood favorite Mama Java into Terra Java has been an ongoing Continued on page 44 a a l Garden • Arcadia High • Peo op p p p s o o • St. Theresa • Basketball • Ki id d ds i se e eu ums • Softball • Shemer Art • Ch hr r ri r Vo o o ol lleyball • Neighborhood News • Sp po o or N te e e er rtainment • Ingleside • Football • N N N a en n n nt ts • Squaw Peak • Recreation • Dram m m ma a d Da a an nce • Church News • Hopi • Arc ca a a n l lt t th & Fitness • Arts & Entertainme e en n a s s • Hopi • Football • Desert Botani ic c c ca S a ad d d dia High • People • Phoenix Zoo • S S le • Ph a as s sketball • Kids • Tavan • Museums s • Tav h h er A l w w w Peak • Recreation • Drama • Baseb ba a a hu u ur rch News • H i Follow the Titans.

Campbell placing his homemade mozzarella on a wood- fi red grill and infusing it with fl avor, then placing it on lightly grilled bread and serving it with fresh tomato, is out of this world. The Cotto (or Cooked) options range from mushroom with mozzarella, truf fl e and egg, a squid ink risotto, a dumpling with butternut squash and pork, and handmade gnocchi in a farmers-market Bolognese. For a main dish, the Grilled plates include pork belly, short rib, market fi sh and rolled veal breasts. Each is a work of art and an education in fl avor. Chef Campbell’s most incredible skill is his ability to establish an impressive level of fl avor without tainting his product. Each ingredient can stand on its own. Chef Campbell respects his food and his trade. That much is obvious. Crudo is a smashing success. It is open 5-10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. arcadiadaily.com arcadiadaily.com No-Bake Recovery Bars designed for everyone By Amanda Goossen Matt Hitzhusen can do it all. Growing up in Worcester, Mass. he played basketball, soccer, baseball and ran cross country. The oldest son of parents who are both family practitioners, Matt said there was never pressure to be an overachiever. Looking at his resume, that might be hard to believe. Hitzhusen went to Liberty College in Virginia where he studied history and Italian studies. After graduation, he enrolled with Literacy AmeriCorp, teaching basic education and GED-prep to young adults in South Florida. His students had faced learning or behavioral challenges in regular schools. In 2002, Hitzhusen moved to Tucson and began law school at the University of Arizona. After graduation in 2005, he moved to Phoenix. His passion, however, remained in something far from the courtroom. “Even while in law school,” Hitzhusen said, “I wasn’t convinced I’d be a lawyer.” Having become certi fi ed as a personal trainer in 2001, Hitzhusen enjoyed his time in the gym and saw a future in helping others discover his love for physical fi tness. He led a few personal training sessions at his gym, and soon what began as a hobby turned into a life path. In no time, Hitzhusen was a full-time personal trainer. Moving to the 2 Be Fit gym in Arcadia, he watched his client base quickly grow to more than 50. After fi ve years of growth, “I needed a new habitat,” he said. In August, Hitz Personal Training at 4290 E. Indian School Road opened. The facility is set up for one-on-one, tandem, small group (three-six people) and large group (12-15) personal training. Sports-speci fi c boot camps for high school students as well as daily boot camps for large groups are available. “My goal,” Hitzhusen said, “is to push the envelope with what your comfortable with, without making you not want to come back.” He has yet one more accomplishment.
