Love, love, love this (not so) little coffee shop! If you are walking South on Scottsdale Road and looking for a cool place to just "hang" a bit, keep walking until you get to SIP (at the corner of Goldwater and Scottsdale Roads). I love it for so many reasons, mostly because it is cool, but not modern, and hip, but not hipster. The Staff is friendly and genuine. And to be very frank, I was completely surprised that I loved the Iced Cartel Americano. OK, I 've had Americano at Cartel, and I SWEAR it doesn't taste nearly as good! And the vibe is much, much better. It's "homier" than the "I'm-so-creative-I-don't-even-have-an-office" coffee shop crowd. And I love that I can bring my dog! :-)
