I stumbled upon Altitude after looking for a coffee shop close to my house (this one is literally a minute away). The baristas really take their time and make quality drinks. I used to work at Starbucks and I can tell you that they sacrifice quality for speed all the time. And when you're paying almost $5 for a drink, I would personally rather wait for a good drink. This is definitely the best coffee shop I've been to in Scottsdale.
