Dark Hall Coffee

2243 N. 12th St.

Nothing is scarier than a coffee fiend without caffeine (or so we've been told). Fear not, because Dark Hall Coffee is open from 7 a.m to 5 p.m. in the Coronado Historic District. The interior features a dark-floral elegance, and the menu is simplistic, with special touches such as a Pentagram foam art latte and skull-shaped cakes. All drinks and fresh-baked pastries are entirely plant-based.

Evil Izzy’s Haunted Emporium

4239 W. Thunderbird Road, Suite B

New to the Valley is Evil Izzy’s Haunted Emporium, a year-round costume and horror collectibles shop. It’s Halloween every day of the year at Evil Izzy's, so if you need anything from makeup and accessories to cosplay outfits and decor for parties or themed events, this is a go-to option.
