| - Cave Creek Coffee Company (aka C4) is screaming and I mean screaming with character. All it takes is a brief drive-by to notice the eclectic vibe from the outside and it's no different once you step inside.
I absolutely love this coffee shop and I wish I lived closer so I could become a regular here. The description says it's 1/2 coffee shop, 1/2 wine bar but it's so much more. To describe it in more detail, once you walk in, you are welcomed by a humble counter with menus and some pastries begging to be eaten. The staff is friendly and they make everything to order. Seat-yourself seating is all around you and ranges from tables for two, to tables for 10 and even couches and ottomans. It would be easy for me to get lost in translation and find myself still there hours later. Now as if all that isn't enough, just wait until you walk outside to the patio. When they say they have live music, they mean seriously live music with a stage, bleachers and plenty of additional seating. I will be coming back soon to experience a live concert because I could tell it would be fun.
I will call this next paragraph "Delicious:"
So I've described the excellent vibe but now let me move on to the coffee and food which is just as (if not more) important. Delicious. Absolutely delicious. I enjoyed a white chocolate peppermint latte which was as delectable as it sounds. It was the perfect combination of peppermint and chocolate with non-fat milky foam: truly perfect for a blustery fall day in the desert. For my meal, I ordered the delicious mozzarella sandwich and added turkey. It melted in my mouth and was so huge I was able to take half home with me. However, I will try to erase this tasty sandwich from my memory for I heard that they are replacing it with a new menu item soon. Tear. :( But, the menu is hearty and they even offer delicious breakfast options.
If I could, I would make this a daily visit and I would bring my computer here and work for an entire day. They have free wi-fi and it just feels like home (or home to a funky friend of yours with eclectic style).
This is a must-visit if you are in Cave Creek. At least stop in for a seasonl coffee!
