I think this'll be the third time I've mentioned the first one on the
list in the last week! Sorry to be so repetitive. :-)

Wildflower Bread Company[1] has 802.11g (compatible with b and g).

Hava Java [no website?] and I'm unsure if it's b or g. Address is 3166
E Camelback Rd., in Phoenix.

A bunch of places listed for Arizona on WifiFreeSpot.com[2].

There's even a mapping site for finding wifi[3]. On the map, you'll
start with a wide view. An important thing to remember is that the
real background is white and areas with wifi have a grey background.
Just keep zooming in (left icon below the compass) and you'll
eventually see wifi.

Since you're probably new to wifi, I'll mention that WEP is "Wired
Equivalent Privacy" and is a protocol that requires a (usually long)
key to gain access to the router. So, if you see a WEP wifi hot spot
shown, you won't be able to use it.

Good luck!

I use wifi all the time at home and when clients want to take me out
somewhere and ask me where's a place with wireless, I recommend
Wildflower. Good food and good wireless! :)
