41 Best Cafes in Scottsdale

“Joe created a menu for my Life Coaching clients this weekend as they attended our Committed Retreat here in Scottsdale that was amazing! No hiccups on anything, very professional, easy to coordinate with & food was fire! Thank you brother! Will definitely be using you on my next retreat!“

“I windsurfed Maui for years. Honeymooned there. 16th birthday for my daughter. This place reminds me of Paia and Malawian. Such a friendly attitude. The food was awesome. It’s not like Mama’s fish house more quaint.“

“This Place Was Fantastic! Great Food & Quality Service!!!“

“A bit of a lineup on a Sunday afternoon but it moved quickly and we all commented about how hard the staff was working! They are so cheerful and friendly in a chaotic atmosphere.

My daughter had the avocado toast with burrata and truffles and chili and she said it was the absolute best thing she ate while visiting us. The drinks were delicious and came up quickly. Good atmosphere, even though it was busy we easily secured a table inside - it was noisy so beware if you get overstimulated. We will definitely be back! The strawberry milk we got for the kiddo was delicious!“

“First time visit to Butterfly Wonderland. A great place to visit. I so enjoyed the narrates, helping to understand the history of butterflies. There was so much to see and having direction and information hello to understand that which I was viewing. The price is reasonable and it helps to go on Groupon.“

“We love coming to MoJos. It’s a friendly atmosphere, & normal coffee drinks and yummy hot breakfast items. The baked goods have been quite dry each time I try one. It’s great to eat breakfast outside, however it’s filled with bird poo and it would be awesome if they could powerwash it regularly as it’s a bit unappetizing when it’s covered on almost each bench table or chair.“

“Enjoyed a delicious Sunday brunch al fresco in the beautiful courtyard while a DJ spun some great tunes. They had some really creative holiday dishes highlighting local ingredients. The espresso they service in their coffee drinks is top notch. Our server John was awesome and didn’t steer us wrong with any recommendations. We are already planning to go back for the wine bar and live music.“

“The setting was absolutely beautiful. We took my brother who is from out of town and he absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, in fact, they said it was the best enchiladas he ever had. Our waiter, Kevin was the best! We will definitely be going back!“

“Great experience! Javon, who was taking my order, was so friendly & welcoming. I ordered 2 iced oat milk lattes for me & my mom and I received exactly what I ordered. Hawa assisted me with offering a beverage carrier. I think the customer service here was top notch and I highly recommend coming in, getting a drink & checking out all the merch they have to offer! Thanks!“

“The atmosphere was great and the service and food exceptional !!!! Highly recommend!!!!!“

“Super convenient shop with a lot of options for a quick bite or a cup of coffee.

Went with Mike Truty who was in a rush on his way to some yodeling competition. Thankfully, he didn’t practice while we were ordering.

Great service from Carrie.“

“The staff were very friendly and courteous, ready to assist anytime. Love shopping here.“

“Visiting from Seattle, love the atmosphere ~ an affordable way to get out in the sun and enjoy yourself whether you want to have a nice meal or get a coffee and read a book, it’s perfect. You can tell they put a lot of work to make it nice. Feels like a secret garden outside.“

“Great service, delicious food“

“If you are lucky enough to get here when they have pistachio cannolis you should definitely get one for yourself, not to share. The most delicious little treat! Lightly sweet and a perfect filling wrapped in a nice crispy crust! Phenomenal! If you want to have a dance party on your taste buds get one!!“

“Great breakfast good service good coffee“

“Connor/Conner just made my day! At the drive-through window, he asked how my day was going, and I laughed and told him it was terrible because we had a rough day of delayed/canceled flights and it was honestly such a stressful 24 hours, with a toddler no less. He said oh no I’m so sorry, can I give you a soft drink or cookie or something? So he gave me a cookie and honestly it was the sweetest thing ever! Thank you!! 😊“

“The ambiance of Simply Shroom is gorgeous with pink flying mushrooms with a modern rustic décor. Whether you're a mushroom coffee enthusiast or just curious to explore new flavors, Simply Shroom is perfect. Highly recommended for a unique and delicious breakfast or lunch - try the Spicy Tunacado or Mushroom Portobello Melt.“

“Great service! Great food!“

“I tried this place out and wasn’t sure what to order. The guy behind the counter (I think his name was Spencer) was super helpful and friendly. He explained the menu and some of the items I was interested in and I decided on their “Best Drink Ever.” I can see why they call it that, it was delicious. Great place, great staff. Will be back.“

“Yummy food!! Breakfast Brunch/Lunch“

“I’m not a croissant fan at all, but holy sh**, this was good! I had the Avocado, Egg and Parm sandwich and my Mom had the Ham. Both delicious.“

“Amazing local cafe with high quality ingredients, kind service and genuine care.“

“We stayed two nights and found Hyatt Regency still retained its elegance despite missing pool and works . It was very quite , eerily in fact but they still kept the grounds impeccable. We had breakfast and it was excellent, I questioned server if fresh orange juice was ‘fresh orange juice’ he replied for the most part they grow their own ingredients at their own farm and orange juice was squeezed at their farm. Even with the work’s continuing I would recommend this elegant hotel if swimming pool is not critical to your stay. They have lowered their rates too to reflect missing service , Resort fee can be questioned.“

“I’ve seen this cute place many times while walking in and out of the Holland Center and I’ve never had a solid opportunity to pay them a visit until today! I’m so glad I did and any time I see that they’re open from now on, I will be supporting them fully. Their chocolate bread loaf is absolutely PHENOMENAL, I can taste the craft and this is the kind of place you gotta keep around. Hot chocolate is also superb and the employee(s) were very kind and friendly and worked very hard to be prompt with fulfilling orders. Me and my brother HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“The restaurant's name perfectly describes the vibe. Laid back casual, with class. Outdoor sofas, all seating in fact, are so darn comfy, I never wanted to leave. Food is good, service is excellent--- fast, friendly & helpful. No pretentious attitudes here. Best of all, dogs are welcome in the huge outdoor patio area.“

“Heavenly Coffee House is a great local coffee bar when you want a well-made drink in a comfortable setting. The espresso is smooth and balanced, and the lattes are consistently crafted with care. The space feels warm and inviting, making it easy to sit and enjoy your coffee without feeling rushed. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall experience. It’s a dependable neighborhood spot for quality coffee and a relaxed vibe.“

“todo delicioso g el personal muy atento.“

“This is a great place to sit and enjoy a coffee. I only gave it 4 stars because its very limited food menu and the coffee was good not great. I ordered a filter coffee with an extra Expresso shot (very good) and my wife got an Americano and gave it an OK, she'd come back but would order what I had. The person at the counter was friendly and efficient. We will come back.“

“Panera Bread has become one of my go-to spots because it consistently delivers quality food in a comfortable, welcoming environment. The menu has a great balance of fresh salads, hearty soups, and sandwiches that actually feel thoughtfully made, not rushed or overly processed. I also appreciate the transparency around ingredients and nutrition, which makes it easier to find options that fit different dietary needs. Service has always been friendly and efficient, whether dining in or ordering ahead.“

“Having visited Nordstrom’s Marketplace Café multiple times over the years here at the Nordstrom Scottsdale Fashion Square and many, many times at their East Coast locations, I have never been dismayed at the quality, value, service and tastes offered. Especially at our last visit which included savoring one of my fave sammiches of all time – the French Dip (a close second to an Original Cuban Sammich). That’s not to say, everything else we’ve tried at this location was either excellent, or really darn close to it. The dishes served at Nordstrom’s Café may be considered by many as an afterthought to accommodate store customers, but in reality their food is more than above average. In many ways comparable, if not even better, than restaurants that either specialize in, or offer such similar delectables. Take for instance their Clam Chowder, or their Tomato Basil Soup… both of which are better than, or maybe even surpassing the taste and quality of many a restaurant in the Valley. Ordering any of these two soups you’ll never go wrong. Not only great, but consistently good. I have found very few places locally that can or will do better. When it comes to sandwich quality, ingredients and taste for a moderate or light lunch while at the store or mall, they more than outperform many of the shopping center’s eat shops! Their Roasted Turkey & Avocado Club with excellent, juicy and tasty slices of turkey, perfectly crisped bacon, fresh lettuce and tomato, along with a peppercorn aioli put into their country bread is well above average – or just plain great. As I mentioned earlier as one of my fave sandwiches, their rendition of the French Dip with their tender and tasty medium rare Angus beef, a tangy moderately sharp white cheddar cheese, and a parmesan coated French baguette and some fab Ojus is terrific. Everything we’ve had there has been very, very good to exceptional. The offerings are well worth a stop. Our experiences with the likes of Artichoke & Spinach Dip, Spicy Shrimp Pomodoro and more are equally delectable. And the prices are actually moderate in comparison to anywhere in the mall. Lunch at the café is a terrific value with moderate prices. And the service is impeccable… as good if not better than many upscale restos nearby – kudos to the staff. That’s why we keep coming back.“

“Yesterday, while doing a little damage at Scottsdale Fashion Square with friends, they casually suggested we pop into the Nespresso Boutique to sample a few of their new flavors.

And let me tell you… that was financially irresponsible advice. ☕️💸

Within approximately 60 seconds of walking in, I met Shannon, who immediately became both my espresso dealer and enabler. She guided me through the newest flavors, including the Coconut Vanilla and Yuzu Vanilla, plus a few classics like Pistachio Vanilla and the Chiaro. Somewhere between sipping tiny cups of caffeine and discussing flavor notes like I suddenly host an espresso podcast, I completely lost control of the situation.

One minute I was “just looking.”

The next? I was walking out with FIVE boxes of Nespresso pods… despite the small detail that I do not actually own a real Nespresso machine.

I currently own a single-shot, hand-pump travel Nespresso that I use exclusively while camping. That’s it. That’s the setup. I’ve basically been making luxury forest espresso like a caffeinated park ranger.

But after this visit? That little camping machine is about to become my full-time personality until I inevitably convince myself that purchasing the Creatista Pro is “self-care.”

The store itself was fantastic though; super welcoming, zero pressure, and honestly just a really fun experience. Shannon made the entire visit feel more like hanging out with a very knowledgeable coffee friend than shopping.

10/10 would recommend… And if anyone needs me, I’ll be aggressively frothing oat milk in the wilderness. ☕️“
