    Chef owned neighborhood coffee shop in a popular plaza. Grab a coffee & pastry or stay for cafe breakfast or lunch. Chill and friendly.

    I stopped by for a quick coffee and snack. It was delicious and the girl working was super friendly. It was the perfect place to sit for a bit before exploring.

    That's the tagline for @curate_cafe in North Scottsdale. Joseph Lerner is an award winning private chef who is now the chef and owner of this cafe located on Scottsdale and Grayhawk. They roast their coffee right in-house and serve up scratch kitchen deliciousness. Even the beautiful wood-top tables are all handmade by curate! So, you can pick up a court and pastry and even order a custom table or charcuterie board. That's a great local small business.

    Curate Cafe just might be my new go-to coffee spot in North Scottsdale! Coffee roasted in-house - check Aesthetic on point - check Phenomenal unique breakfast - check Lattes much better than I can make - check What's not to love? Curate Cafe is one of the newer coffee spots in North Scottsdale. After seeing them mentioned on TikTok I had to stop in. I got an iced vanilla latte and breakfast sandwich and was very pleased! They have a variety of breakfast options (fresh pastries, breakfast sandos, and more). Customer service was incredible. Everyone was friendly and they even brought us water to our table as we waited for coffee and food. We met the Chef/Owner Joseph who genuinely was nice and asked us for feedback. He told us a bit more about how they roast in-house and how he built the tables and worked on decorations. Give Curate Cafe a visit! You won't be disappointed!

    Beautiful hand hewn tables

    This is a great place to grab a coffee and relax. It is tucked between Chipotle and Pei Wei. Joe the owner is hands on taking order and present. Upon entry we were warmly greeted and provided info to counter order and food would delivered to our selected tables. Tables were created by the owner and are gorgeous! We tried a caramel macchiato- perfect and a Latte. There were several options on milk beyond the usual almond and soy. We had the kale chicken soup. It was full of veggies in a rich chicken broth. We tried the bruschetta- it was wonderful with the arugula tossed in a vinegarette with a sprinkle of orange olive oil ... really great flavors. Next we tried the Merica sandwich. Lightly grilled with turkey and sliced cheese. The pastries are made in house. The coffee is roasted and ground in house.

    vanilla oat milk matcha

    Tried Curate Cafe out today, and this might become a new matcha lunch break stop! I got the vanilla oat milk matcha which was DELICIOUS and my friend got the peaches matcha and said great things about it! Super cute on the inside and is perfect for hanging out and catching up with a friend.

    What an amazing spot! Just got coffee and a little treat! The cupcake was great and the coffee was delicious too! They have a whole food menu too and catering available I believe! Definitely will come back, the employees were extremely friendly and the service was great! Also the cafe was super clean and had such a great modern look! Definitely will be back

    No wonder it's so highly rated. Stopped here for lunch when working near by, and it was so delicious. A bit hard to find between Pei Wei and Chipotle, but well worth going around the building twice to find it. A gem.

    Chorizo quesadilla
    Abigail V.

    Finally a relaxing original coffee place in north Scottsdale!. I had the egg chorizo quesadilla and it was delicious. The coffee as well exceeded my expectations. I prefer more light sweetened drinks. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to be back.

    I've seen so many businesses come and go from this spot, hope this one sticks around! Came here this morning for a coffee, it is super cute and clean. Would be an awesome place to come do some work. I got a cold brew with coconut and oat milk for me and a chocolate chip cookie for my husband. The cold brew was good but next time I'd ask for a little less milk! It's on the expensive side too, but nothing extreme for the north Scottsdale area. Would stop by again! No complaints with service, barista was nice and got my drink out quickly!

    No complaints! I came here on a Saturday evening with a friend to catch up over drinks. I ordered…read morethe non-alcoholic coconut drink and found it was really tasty! The bar staff was friendly and attentive, and I quite liked the ambience of the bar itself. It is located within a hotel, but it feels like its own little restaraunt with mood lighting and good music. I was even more surprised that the bar had plenty of seating given that a wedding party was dining there, so I wasn't expecting to find any seating, but I was pleasantly surprised. I would come again. On a logistical note, we did have to find street parking because we didn't want to pay for the hotel valet. But I didn't mind the location because we got to walk around the Scottsdale area and see other places along the way.

    Delicious Chilean Sea Bass serve here! I was stunned when I received my dinner (after having the…read moreworst cocktail the dark side) that fish just melted in your month like butter. It was cooked perfectly!! Overall our party of 14 agreed that their cocktail drinks were weak / diluted and on the sweet side. I would stick with beer or wine. The food was good! We will be back to try more items. One thing to mention if you have a large party please check your bill. They charged us an extra entree and we had to call them out.
