| - My search for a non-chain coffee bar in Old Town Scottsdale may FINALLY be over!! I don't know how many times I've passed Sola without going inside, but I'm glad I did this morning.
I'm a residential real estate agent, and was going to meet clients of mine for coffee. We all agreed Starbucks was out of the question, so I suggested we try Sola, since I had heard good things about it and haven't been very impressed by any of the other coffee bars in Old Town. Sola did not disappoint!
The interior is minimalist, but I appreciate that. I don't really want my coffee bar to be loaded with kitch and merchandise for sale. Sola had a little bit of art on the walls, comfortable places to sit (could be more, though), and good, quiet music playing on the record player - yes, record player!! The coffee was incredibly tasty, but the time it took to be prepared was the ONLY MINOR reason for my review being reduced from 5 stars to 4.
Sola is still new, though, so I'm going to assume the good people behind the bar will get their coffee prep times down quickly. Just be patient, and your delicious coffee will be served with a smile. Oh, and while you wait, have one of the pastries they serve (made by Scratch)!!!
