    My pup: "is this really grass mom?!"
    Julie W.

    Great under-the-radar establishment! (at least for me) Ad a coffee worshiper, I felt very welcome in this congregation. Super cool outdoor sipping area with grass and super dog friendly too!

    @awakencafe.az is a laid-back, beautiful spot to sip a drink while you reflect and the kids play. Located at Valley Presbyterian Church on McDowell, the cafe is open to the public. It's finally cooled down enough where the accordion glass walls are wide open and the indoor/outdoor space flows freely together. The kids really enjoyed their bagels and cream cheese, but I savored the breakfast burrito. A local caterer provides them. It was a good size and filled with eggs, potatoes, cheese and caramelized onions. Perfectly light but flavorful. The outdoor space is large with tons of seating, a grass yard, and climbing toys for toddlers. It was so peaceful. Definitely a spot to return to for reading, studying or work. The barista was very friendly. For more local adventures check out @msbusyblonde on Instagram

    Place within a church that had a great modern touch with plants in all corners. Felt like a great place to work from including patio in cooler months. I bet it's packed after church but the coffee tasted great. Best part was the food as they just had two things but croissant was huge and fresh from a 3rd party partner restaurant and eggs breakfast burrito was juicy and fresh not dry. If you need a quiet place to work then this is a great spot near a church. Service was great as employee asked about us and where were from.

    I've been to Awaken Cafe a few times, and it's always a pleasant experience. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, good coffee and pastries from JL Patisserie, and wifi. It really is a pretty, peaceful space to get some work done or enjoy their huge patio during the beautiful weather. It is on church grounds but don't let that deter you. It can be a tad difficult to find after you park since it's in the center of the campus but there are signs to direct you and usually, people walking around you can ask. I definitely recommend checking them out.

    I've been on mission for over a year now to visit and review every coffee shop in the valley, and I'm always excited to cross another one off my list! This one is on the valley Presbyterian campus. Signage made it pretty easy to find thankfully! The seating area is nice, and baristas were nice! Now to what I didn't like so much. I got a desert matcha (I think that's what it was called? It was on the summer menu). It was very very sweet and had a weird aftertaste. And I usually don't mind sweet and LOVE matcha. Just kinda gross, I wouldn't recommend it, but other people's coffees looked tasty! One other minor thing I didn't like is that they had two songs playing at the same time for some reason? Like they had a vacation bible school video playing with sound on but also had their own music playing at the same time? I would go crazy if I had to listen to two different songs playing at once the whole day, like couldn't they just play the VBS video OR the cafe-type music? Why both? Overall, I think I just ordered the wrong thing, if you attend church here or live nearby I could definitely see it being a good option. I am glad that I tried it but don't plan to try again with all of the other amazing coffee shops nearby!

    Cake pops!

    Best coffee, best ambiance, the staff is incredibly friendly and the cake pops are AMAZING. Better than Starbucks!!

    This is the best coffee shop in town. There is such a beautiful vibe every time we stop in. It's a little off of the beaten path, but it's so worth it. Evan, the manager and the rest of the team, are so helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate, The service is amazing as well. I believe they have the best matcha in town. You must give this unique coffee shop a try. I promise you'll love it!

    Pistachio chocolate croissant and specialty drinks (Japanese grade match with oat milk and flower mocca). So good!

The event had just wrapped up, so I caught a bunch of beautiful cars zooming off as I arrived -- definitely a fun and different vibe for a coffee shop! It was a HOT summer day and the line was long. Long enough that a few people ended up giving up and leaving, but I decided to wait it out because I desperately wanted a cold coffee to beat the heat. Between waiting in line and getting my drink, it took roughly 25 minutes. I liked the simple, cool decor inside, and the cashier was friendly, but they were so busy that I ordered and moved along pretty quickly. I added maple flavor to my iced coffee to try something different, and it was good! They also have a cute outdoor setup with bar stools, a patio area, and scattered seating around the yard. Overall, FourTillFour is a cute and unique Scottsdale coffee spot, especially if you're into cars, but I'm not sure the coffee alone was worth a 25-minute wait. I'm guessing the Porsche event had a lot to do with the crowd, so I'd definitely give it another try on a quieter morning.

As soon as we walked in, we both said, "This isn't what we were expecting." It's a large open dining area with tables and about four or five booths with counter-style ordering. They have a water station set up where you grab your own waters and find a table to sit at, and then they will bring out your food. Based on the name, we assumed we would be seated by a hostess and the menu would be full of breads, different kinds of pastries, and country-style foods, but it's actually mostly Mexican dishes with a few country-style dishes thrown in. We ended up ordering the Crispy Chorizo & Potato tacos and the biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon to share. The tacos were good; they are filled with whipped potatoes and chorizo, but the biscuits and gravy were just basic biscuits and gravy. The scrambled eggs on both dishes were WAY overcooked and had zero flavor. Not sure if they misunderstood my husband when he ordered the side of bacon crispy; that also meant to cook the eggs that way too? Overall, it was a good experience. The espresso martini was good, and the staff were really friendly. I'm just not sure it was good enough to stop in again.
