| - We came here today while visiting from out of town to see what Cave Creek had to offer on a Sunday morning. Boy, am I ever glad we did! The coffee was quite good. I had a cup of their Mexican drip, and my wife had the latte. Both were excellent. Lattes are easy to sell, but difficult to really pull off well. This place does both. What really stood out to me (and much to my surprise), however, was how absolutely excellent the breakfast burrito was.
I've had my fair share of burritos - breakfast, lunch, and dinner - and this one will go down in the Top 3 all time and definitely #1 in the breakfast category. While it's not a massive brick like at some chain burrito joints, the ingredients (3 cheeses, sausage, pico de gallo, and a delicious green onion garnish) are top notch, the assembly was perfect, and presentation was exactly what I was hoping for. The salsa with corn kernels and a few scant beans was really nice, and definitely not like anything I'd had out of a jar before. When split between my wife and I, the burrito and our coffees left us feeling satisfied without being disgustingly over-full.
The staff here were all exceedingly friendly, accomodating, and made us feel like we were already regulars. Extra kudos go out to the girls at the counter who put up with my odd requests for items (flourescent orange straw, empty cup, etc.) to keep our 1-year-old son occupied and happy. We'll definitely be back, be it later this week, or on our next visit to the Valley of the Sun. I'd love to try some other offerings from their food and drink menu, as well as take in the atmosphere on the patio.
Top notch, all the way!
