| - I feel it is my duty living out here in the middle of nowhere to review local businesses to:
A) Convince my friends that there is life and non-touristy stuff in far northeast Scottsdale...
and B) Have a good excuse to eat at new places and use the excuse of "I'm doing research for Yelp".
My latest venture was The Spoon Cafe which is nestled in to a small shopping area off of Pinnacle Peak Rd. and Pima. I stumbled across this place while making a quick Starbucks run a few doors down.
We came in around brunch time...and it was a beautiful day out. They had all of the doors open and the cozy patio was a perfect place to sit. So here's the skinny on the place:
Ambiance: Relaxed, great for Sat/Sun breakfast. Nice selection of music playing...a little jazz, contemporary fare.
Food: Good breakfast fare, giant french toast, pancakes, lots of omelets to choose from and great bagels. Hummus plate is yummy with a very generous serving. I was a little disappointed with a salad that we ordered, which is where the 4 stars come in. The salad had scrumptious goat cheese, toasted almonds, and strawberry vinaigrette, but then....the whole rest of the salad was iceberg lettuce. Eewww! Come on folks...you could at least splurge for a little romaine!
Besides the lettuce situation, the staff was efficient, friendly and I would definitely go back to eat here again!
