I went here last week for the first time. I had high hopes because North Scottsdale is devoid of coffee shops with character. The atmosphere was nice but most everything else was mediocre including the coffee.
I got a salmon BLT which was $9.00 and had much more tomato on it than anything else. The latte was nothing special and both of the baristas didn't have much personality or weren't on their game the day I was there.
The coffee cake was very good, but it's harder to get a good cup of coffee than good baked goods.
I am generally a very positive person but I think there were enough strikes against this place to recommend going elsewhere.
