| - Cartel Coffee Lab has the three C's...coffee, cocktails (well beer but that doesn't start with a c) and cuisine. So with the three C's, I say, welcome to Scottsdale Cartel!
Although I frequented this location's former coffee shop many times during its existence, I had yet to visit the new Cartel Coffee Lab when it opened...until today. I realize what I've been missing and I won't make that mistake again. The location was cool before, but now with the Cartel touch, it's even cooler. The coffee is the delicious Cartel coffee blend and the vibe is eclectic and coffee shop'esque. But here's a nice twist courtesy of Cartel's elves. Besides basic baked goods, they also serve a simple breakfast and lunch menu.
The breakfast menu includes items such as breakfast sandwiches and oatmeal. The lunch menu includes items such as a turkey sandwich with a delicious pesto sauce, a ham sandwich and salads like tuna salad. It's a small menu but it's good. Plus you get chips, a salad or fruit with your lunch sandwich. Add a non-fat vanilla latte and you've got yourself a delicious lunch, or at least I did!
Seating is slightly limited but you should be able to find a seat on a basic work day. Plus, the vibe is comfortable and perfect to sit and work (as long as you're ok with community tables).
