| - I stopped by this place after having went to Butters, which is in the same complex. Now I'll admit, my coffee tastes aren't sublime- I tend towards more Starbucks than not. Horribly mainstream, sad to say. And you'll find going in that the menu is quite spartan, without complicated descriptions, which leave you... having to ask the counter staff, gasp!
No fear. They're super nice. I actually did ask for a macchiato the first time I was there, and when the guy made sure it was what I wanted the clueless, blank look on my face prompted him to ask me a couple more questions. To which I ashamedly admitted that when I think macchiato it means I just want something like my skinny caramel one at Starbucks. But he just smiled, said no problem, and jumped right into it! And man it was delicious. He did say something about vanilla and caramel and whatnot, but really, it was just delicious, and that is that.
He also mentioned that they add 2 espresso shots in there, not just one. So voila! More bang for your buck.
The place is a really neat little joint. The decor is great, I love the art for sale on the walls and the teal velvet armchair by the front door. The outside is also dog friendly, which is very, very nice. Now I don't live anywhere south Scottsdale, unfortunately, but I do like this place enough that it warrants a stop in anytime I'm in the locale.
