Writing the next great American novel takes commitment, courage, and the ability to seamlessly splice together passages from Huckleberry Finn and Moby Dick. Start your next project in the ideal café setting with today’s deal: for $9, you get five 12-ounce flavored lattes and one slice of pie or cake upon first use of this Groupon at Blue Sky Java in Goodyear (a $21.74 value).

Blue Sky Java's baristas brew robust lattes brimming with nose-tickling foam and tantalizing flavor, handing cups to patrons in an aviation-themed lounge decorated with historical photos and populated by plush leather sofas. Caffeine enthusiasts can sip a flavor-infused beverage, such as hazelnut, dark chocolate, and blueberry, or opt for sugar-free liquid with an english toffee latte that quiets sweet teeth faster than a bouquet of sugar cubes. Stomachs can absorb a complimentary slice of cake slathered with frosting or crisp, fruit-stuffed pie when they use this Groupon for the first time. Not content to simply soothe the tongue, Blue Sky Java also treats the ears to shots of live music, with announced and unannounced sets by local musicians.
