If I could add a few picks, from a former west valley person:

A Shot of Java - Newish coffee place with free wifi, open late, in
downtown Glendale. Sort of a small place compared to Next Coffee
though. Various restaurants and such nearby.

Coffee Plantation at Westgate - Free and open wifi, remember doing ftp
and ssh stuff while there once, accessible by Loop 101 and I-10 and
surrounded by other cool things, like places with beer and food.

PHX Public Library (Cholla Branch) at Ghettrocenter - Free wifi (no
card required, I think), mostly soundproof conference room available
for community use. Accessible via I-17. No food allowed, but the
mall has food and also free/open wifi.
