    Prickly pear lemonade
    Jenae W.

    Amazing cafe with even more amazing service! The prickly pear lemonade was so refreshing and had great flavor. We also got the egg sando, the eggs were so fluffy and we loved the sauce used on it! We took the sandwich to go since we were running around today but if it was THIS good at home I can only imagine how delicious it would be right out of the kitchen! Also, to our delight, they threw in an apple spice loaf and it was to die for! The flavor was perfect for fall and it was so soft and moist. 10/10! The cafe itself is so cute! It looks smaller from the outside but they made great use of their space. We will definitely be back and we will definitely be recommending this cafe to all of our friends out here.

    Latte

    Extremely polite, professional service- delicious latte and croissant. We'll absolutely be back.

    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.

    Soft scramble Sandi slaps!

    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!

    Soft scramble on brioche

    My wife and I visiting Scottsdale and we found Curate Cafe on yelp and picked for its high ratings. It did not disappoint! Everything about the food from the handmade pumpkin spice in the oat latte to the breakfast croissant and the soft scramble brioche were elevated "curated" experiences. The day before I came and had the green chilaquiles frittata which was an elevated take on the traditional breakfast favorite. The servers were all very kind and courteous and the service was quick and the food presentation was minimalistic and on point. The tables are imported live edge wood and add a nice touch to the leather comfortable chairs. Everything was clean and tasteful decorated - love the vibe. Best of all we met the owner and chef Joey who struck me as a humble guy who takes pride in his craft and it shines through in his food. Well done!!! We will be back!!

    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

    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!

    Mocha coffee and grilled ham & cheese with a touch of raspberry jam.
    Kristin E.

    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.

    SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS Butters Pancakes and Cafe…read more8300 N. Hayden Road Scottsdale, 85258 We were going to the Maricopa County Home Show at Westworld and needed to have some breakfast first. This is located about 3 miles from there. Other reviewers all noted that the place is usually packed, and today was no exception. However, the line to get in moves quite fast and we only waited about 10 minutes. When we were called for our table, we were given menus and fresh ice cold glasses of water were on the table. This restaurant is known for having fresh squeezed orange and/or grapefruit juice, so that was the first thing that was ordered. There is a machine loaded with oranges in the front, and the juice was a real treat. Companion ordered coffee, and I ordered a cappuccino, which came in a large (proper) cup with a lovely head of foamed milk on top. For the main courses, companion ordered steel cut oatmeal which came with little cups of brown sugar and raisins. Companion totally enjoyed the large bowl. For myself, I ordered french toast topped with apple/cinnamon glaze. It was delicious, but I could not possibly finish it. I felt so sorry for it to not be eaten, but I had to leave it! There are many servers on the floor and it became apparent that they all covered for each other. As for the food, they must have a dozen cooks in the back because as crowded as it was, our food came out quickly and really hot. I'm glad I don't get to this area often, because I'd blow up like a balloon with the quality of this food.

The six of us were seated across from the bar, and it was HOT . I started sweating and needed to use the menus as a fan and drink water to try and cool off. The restaurant had already been open for almost 2 hours, so I am not sure why it was so hot inside (others in our party were hot too, so I wasn't just me). Positives are the restaurant's beach decor and the hamburgers. Several people in our party ordered burgers, and they were cooked to perfection and the fries were really good! Negatives are very few seafood menu options and the fish tacos were terrible. They were drowning in a mayonnaise based slaw. The corn tortillas were really fresh and tasty, but when I bit into my taco I could mostly only taste mayonnaise and the pickled onions. Our friends even made an unsolicited comment that my tacos did not look good. Luckily, I selected fries as my side, because they were the best thing on my plate. With a name like Montauk, and the beach decor, I expected more fresh seafood options on the menu. More than half the menu was not seafood (Mediterranean platter, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, brussels sprouts, salads, etc.). Unfortunately, Montauk does not live up to the hype.

The place was buzzing with loud electronic music and tons of people dining -- I think because the ceiling is so high the noise is amplified. Because it was so busy it took a while for the server to come over but he did with waters which was nice but then the menus are all on QR codes -- which is annoying because it is hard to look at everything and because the menu is very confusing it would have been nice to see everything on paper. The menu is confusing because the selections are very odd -- I thought it was a mexican-asian/sushi fusion restaurant -- which I guess it is but it was still really hard to create the best food experience when I couldn't see everything available. My friend was hungry so she immediately put in an order for calamari and I was being called to order the blood orange margarita slushie. When the margarita came it was like nothing I have ever seen before. It looked more like a milkshake or like a creamsicle. I dove in thinking it would be too sweet but it was actually quite delicious and I sucked it back in a second! Also I put in an order for the edamame which sounded really good in the description -- "woodfired" and spicy miso butter -- but when they came they were really spicy and the woodfired element was making me cough, strangely enough -- I couldn't finish them! Finally after waiting forever we got the drinks and apps. It then took another 15 minutes to order our food. Again it was busy and my friend and I were catching up so it wasn't a big deal. We wanted a fairly light dinner so we just ordered one roll -- the Fuego, which had yellowtail and a whitefish, chili, cilantro and cucumber plus a pico de gallo on top -- it was very flavorful -- although a bit spicy for those who are spice wimps like me. Overall, thought it was a good meal but wasn't blown away.

I have tried the Pornstar Martini, Illicit Affair, and Smell the F*@king Roses (my favorite). The appetizers we tried were the tuna tartare and the hibachi crudo. Superb! The entrees are delicious although the lamb chops and the short rib bolognese were a bit salty. The bolognese is definitely different than the typical. The branzino and filet mignon were tasty. Sides including the whipped potatoes and Mac and cheese were also good. We also enjoyed the coconut cream pie with a birthday candle for dessert, but I will say for the price we paid for the entire meal, the dessert should have been comped for the birthday. They also charge an extra service fee that can be removed if requested. No reason to charge additional fees on top of everything you pay already.
