    Blueberry Latte
    Joy J.

    A coworker went here three times and told me I HAD TO GO, so we finally went during lunch yesterday. What a cute place!! Bright Side Cafe is located inside The Mercantile in Old Town Scottsdale, at the back of the store. Enter through the back if you stop by early in the morning before The Mercantile opens. While they don't offer a lot of drinks options, they offer the basics along with their own signature drinks like the Blueberry Latte I got. They also top off your drinks with a cute image that you choose when you pay for your order. I was about to get the cactus, but I saw Snoopy, so you already know I HAD to get him! The drink itself was delicious! It was just a tad too sweet for me, but not overly obnoxious sweet. At around $7/$8 for a drink, the prices are average. They even have some seating around the front of the register if you choose to enjoy your goodies there. They do also offer pastries if you go in early enough. When we arrived around 12:20 pm, I only saw 2 in the pastry case, but they might keep more behind the counter. Bright Side Cafe is a cute spot to get some morning joe, latte, or the like before you start your day. Drop in if you have a chance and support this sweet local small business!

    The strawberry latte was a 10/10! Cute little gem located in the back of The Merchantile.

    Cute cafe in a little mercantile area. This was my first time at this cafe and I wanted to try something matcha so I decided on the lychee matcha with a cold foam for the design to sit on top for $7.75. I chose a cute little pikachu. I also requested to add coconut milk for an additional $0.50. When I received the drink it was too cute to drink but I went for it. The cold foam was a nice thick enough layer for the design. I keep drinking and drinking and I didn't taste any hint of lychee nor did I taste any hint of coconut milk. Service was good but the I believe my drink order was a miss and just tasted like regular matcha with whole milk. I think I'll have to try a different drink for next time.

    This place has one of the friendliest crew I've ever met. Their chocolate chip sourdough muffin is definitely something you need to grab. You can taste high-quality ingredient they put in there, as well as as the softness of the dough. I love this place! The coffee shop is inside the store where you can shop and interesting memorabilia can be found all over the place. Super clean, super organized. Easy to find anything.. definitely must see location.

    Got a matcha after shopping for a bit. It's located inside the mercantile in the back. They still had valentines flavor options and have alternative dairy options. The iced matcha was good

    It's inside of a store. There is a back entrance. There's a parking lot in the back as well. I got the brown butter caramel latte. Also you get to choose your design. The cold foam was good and thick! The drink reminded me of an ice cream. It was good.

    What a cute hidden gem inside the Merchantile! How fun to look around at all of the small local businesses and find this cafe waiting for us at the end of it. The foam art was FUN! This is a great place to catch up with a girlfriend or have some solo Bible time :-)

    Pleasantly surprised! I walked in thinking I need a wake me up. But left without ordering anything. Came back with my son who just woke up. This place is the entrance of a mercantile that is not yet open. When you walk in, everything is clean and white, the baristas friendly. The biggest surprise was the choice of templates to add to the top of your beverage. I was pleased with the selections! Who doesn't love Hello Kitty?! The vibe and flavor was all there. Perhaps my new coffee spot for Scottsdale!

    My pistachio latte! Yummy and very sweet. Cold foam was rich and thiccccccc.

    Super super awesome service! They were LIFESAVERS when I forgot my computer charger oh a work trip. The kind lady there did not even hesitate to let me borrow their charger and insisted I use it for however long I needed!!!! Very very nice, kind gesture that I will hold dear to my heart for life. My pistachio latte was excellent as well! Better than Starbucks and Peet's. Cold foam with the design was a cute little touch! I am crowing this cafe the best coffee spot in all of old Scottsdale! Beautiful, clean, crisp, chill space to relax or work, and excellent, lovely staff!

    I stumbled upon this coffee shop while shopping at the Mercantile, and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, I loved the minimalist vibe, everything felt super clean, modern, and inviting. I tried both the pistachio latte and the cookie butter latte, and honestly, they were both amazing. You can really taste the quality, especially knowing all their coffee is organic. One of the coolest touches is that they let you choose images to print on your coffee, it's such a fun and unique experience. The baristas were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and they gave great recommendations when I wasn't sure what to order. Overall, the coffee tasted fantastic, the atmosphere was great, and the service was top-notch. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Ordered: Iced Blueberry Matcha Latte (~$8): organic ceremonial-grade matcha, organic blueberry puree, organic oat milk (+50¢), blueberry cold foam with blueberry flakes Aya's take: I was in the area looking for an afternoon pick me up and stumbled upon Bright Side Cafe located inside The Merchantile (which has tons of cool vendors and worth checking out)! The Iced Blueberry Matcha Latte caught my eye and I'm glad it did. Side note, I love that they have customizable latte art - I chose a cactus to represent my trip to AZ! The matcha was fresh and earthy and the blueberry was tart and sweet. I absolutely loved the blueberry cold foam which added a creamy texture and added sweetness to the drink. Super tasty and vibrant aesthetic!
