Flying in early that morning we had to kill time before checking into our lodging, and we were in desperate need of some coffee. This place had good reviews, so, we decided to stop Walking up there was plenty of outdoor seating, and it was a beautiful spring Arizona day. The lawn was beautifully manicured, and the ambiance outside was as appealing as the ambiance inside. As we walked in there was a bar and kitchen area that snaked along on wall and there were a couple coffee lounge areas for sitting, eating/drinking, studying, working, etc. the decor was trendy and unique. It felt like an artsy spot, and I could have sat there all day They have pastries as well as other hot food. Their panini's were delicious. I also really enjoyed their blueberry muffin. They also have all the signature coffee drinks as well as signature ones The staff were great. exceptionally friendly, efficient, professional, etc. This was a weekend and they were busy, but they still managed to get orders in and food out quickly and with a smile on their faces If you're a coffee lover and you want to support a local and exceptional coffee shop, you should stop by Some tips: Check their signs for any seasonal offerings. When we went they had several seasonal drinks to choose from If you like the Mythic Coffee you can take home some coffee or some merch Cheers!! read more

This is a cool spot. A friend recommended it so we met up here one weekend. Located in downtown Scottsdale, it's a little farther from the main area and there is regular street parking available. It's a busy cafe but we were able to find some seats together. Ordering at the counter was easy: I got a medium caramel cold brew with room to add cream. I added some cinnamon and sugar and it was a nice drink. It was a bit warm inside, maybe due to the amount of people. They have outdoor seating as well. read more

Been here a few times. The service is always friendly and helpful. This time we each got a cortado and my husband ordered a breakfast panini. The panini was delicious and the bread was soft. The egg was cooked perfectly. Our cortados were ok. The coffee tasted a little burnt. I don't know if the shot was pulled badly or if the roast they used was just super dark. Overall we were satisfied and we would give it a try again. Everyone has different preferences for what roast of coffee they like read more

Corner coffee shop in Old town. They have an outdoor area to bring along your pups and welcome dogs inside while ordering. The bagels were really fresh and fluffy, highly recommend. The staff was very friendly and quick with service. The reason for a 4 star is we felt the cold brew tasted more like iced coffee and was quite bitter. The espresso was bitter and robust in flavor. A bit bolder than we prefer. read more

Cute little coffee shop in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. You wouldn't even know it was there. You blink and you could easily miss it. I joined a friend of mine here for a quick cup of coffee this afternoon. I'm just a regular mocha pot/french press coffee kind of gal. So I don't really know the terminology of Americano latte frou frou boujee etc. lol But I told the girl that I'm just used to regular coffee and asked if they had heavy cream, which she said they did have on hand. A+ for that! My small cup of coffee with heavy cream came to $3.51 after tax. Not too bad I guess for Old Town prices. The coffee had a decent flavor and did not taste burned so that was a plus. So if you're ever an old town and want something different than your typical corporate coffee, check out Grounds on 2nd. read more

Grounds on 2nd is a local neighborhood coffee spot near Old Town Scottsdale that also serves alcohol/beer. Located in a residential area, it has funky vibes with indoor and outdoor seating, and pretty upbeat music. We ordered an Americano and iced white mocha drinks. The Americano (4/5) was nice and strong, with just the right amount of milk. The iced white mocha (3.5/5) was refreshing, but did have some hints of bitterness that are often masked in superior versions of the drink. While prices were a bit on the high side, service was friendly. While I probably wouldn't return as a visitor in Scottsdale, Grounds on 2nd would be a decent coffee option if I were a local. read more

S tier coffee shop, honestly can't say enough good things about it. Imagine your "ideal" coffee shop, what does it have? Fast WiFi, places to chat, places to work, great coffee, friendly baristas, this place has all of that and more!! It's often busy but there's somehow always a place to sit, there's food, wine, and grocery items, and it's super inviting. Any complaints? Hmmm... not really tbh. It does everything well and parking is never a problem. If you're looking for a third place, you'll probably find it here. read more

Tried this new coffee shop today in Scottsdale area. Loved it. Beer, wine, coffee, pastries and some other food options. Very nice patio in shade. My coffee and scone brought out to me on patio. Love this kinda service from a coffee shop. Scone had been heated up for me without even asking !!!! 20 oz Americano and cranberry orange scone. Great stop, glad I found this location. Quiet neighborhood, good tunes on entertainment system. Parking a bit dicey. Didn't see parking lot. Think it's street parking only. I was lucky to find 1 handicap spot off to side. Not sure it was even dedicated to Grounds. Despite this, place is so pleasant, Will be back. read more

I love that this shop is pretty unassuming on a corner in the middle of a neighborhood. A short walk from where live. The staff is always friendly and welcoming and can recognize you after a couple months away. This day I tried the seasonal drink, Irish cold brew. I wanted a cold drink and this fit the bill. I joked with Olivia that I could've used some Baileys in the drink. She laughed and mentioned they don't have the license for that. I did get my favorite breakfast sandwich, the Smoked Salmon bagel sandwich. I love the big stack of salmon with the capers, pickled red onion and dill mayo (I think). This place also has a little market for daily food and beverage needs with a nice selection of wines with wine tasting on certain nights. read more

I was looking for a quick cappuccino this morning and was curious to try out somewhere I hadn't been to before. I was able to find a parking spot right away tucked in from the street. There were several other customers in the cafe. I ordered and then perused the shelves to see the other merchandise. The cappuccino was very good. They use a brand of coffee called Mythic Goat. There is a fair amount of outdoor seating if you want to take your drink outside. There are some seats indoors, but the cafe is on the smaller side. read more

Awesome little neighborhood joint. Part coffee shop, part bar, part market, totally awesome.

The coffee was tasty, they have seasonal menus, and the barista was very nice. They even have a little coffee bar station to touch up your drink with cinnamon, sugar, creamer, etc . Inside is a little store front too which is cool, but when I went it was pretty crowded and full of people studying so we didn't shop much. Tucked away in a corner-ish building, so parking is kind of interesting but not terrible. Worth a shot, their brew tasted great! read more

This spot is a hidden gem in Old Town Scottsdale, tucked away in a neighborhood off 2nd Street. It's a cozy little coffee and beer shop with a welcoming vibe.

Checked out Grounds on 2nd for the first time this week. I had a work meeting here and this was relatively central for both of us and had been on my list - win/win! First thoughts, it was super easy to snag a free parking spot and the shop itself had ample outdoor and indoor seating. They had an impressive line up of cases filled with specialty brews, wines and bevvies galore. They also have a food menu with sandwiches, bagels, pastries and frittatas. They have lots of plants and overall just a cool vibe. They have all the classic coffee items and a specials list, which included a cinnamon cold brew and honey lavender matcha that was speaking to me! We asked the barista about them and he couldn't provide any insight, on if it was good or how it was made and sort of just shrugged when we asked his opinion. I figured the cinnamon cold brew may be a cinnamon cold foam or something of that nature, but he just told me they have real cinnamon or pump syrup. I opted for plain cold brew - can't really go wrong and did the trick! I prefer homemade syrups if I am going to order a specialty type of drink, which I think should be the standard for most coffee shapes these days, at least on their staples or special'. Next time I may give their matcha a shot, as i love a good matcha. Definitely a cool spot and great place to meet up with someone for work, or just to catch up and easily ble to transition from afternoon caffeine to evening beer or wine. read more

Nice location. Super cute & really enjoyed the options and wine selection. No food to sample, but definitely worth trying again.

I've stopped by Grounds on 2nd several times while on vacation, and it has yet to disappoint. The coffee is consistently good, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the customer service is always friendly. The only thing I wish is that they had a few pre-made breakfast sandwiches available after they stop serving breakfast at 11:00 AM. I arrived a little too late, and that would have been a nice option. The blueberry muffin was delicious and definitely worth trying. Overall, this has become one of my favorite coffee shops to visit when I'm in town, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

Great cafe, super reasonably priced, good options, the bagel and lox's is well dressed, the matcha has good flavor, they had vegan cream cheese! The staff is super nice and helpful. The patio area is great, perfect for a stop midway through my dog's daily walk. They provide pup cups which he is a huge fan of. Very dog friendly place. There is sufficient seating outside with generously spaced tables. I haven't sat inside but it looks comfy when I go in to order. read more

This place is so cute!! My husband and I love to try new coffee shops and decided to go here today. There was a line but it went quick. We got a cherry almond latte and a strawberry white mocha both were 10/10. We also got the cinnamon crumble muffin which was yummy and warmed up. I would love to come back to try more breakfast items/ lunch and some wine! We also had our dog and they have signs that say your dog can wait with you in line but then enjoy our patio with them and we loved that! We usually have to switch off going inside and then waiting with our pup but I thought this was a really nice touch and is appreciated by someone who has a dog! Super cute coffee place in old town will be back read more

Visiting Grounds on 2nd was a win on Wednesday morning this week. Friendly staff, great setting. We enjoyed our coffees on the patio. Also tried the frittata. Its ingredients may vary based on whats on hand. Ours had fresh vegetables and mozzarella cheese. We ordered one to share, not realizing the size, and quickly ordered a second. Ingredients were fresh and it was properly cooked. We hope to make it back on a Th evening to partake in the weekly wine tasting event. Very chill and comfortable place to hang out either indoors or outside. read more

I feel like I won the lotto, stumbling across this cafe, market and wine bar on my way home from work in Scottsdale. As I'm sure most of you know, South Scottsdale and Old Town have a lot of touristy and/or pricey spots and difficult-to-find parking areas, so it's been tough finding a cafe that's easy to get to and open after 3 pm with a chill, friendly atmosphere and good food and coffee. Well, this spot has it all! I almost didn't want to review it because I wanted to keep my own private cafe paradise. Alas, here I am blabbing away. Grounds on 2nd is located in a residential area surrounded by old or "vintage" '50's apartments as well as new builds, and cross streets with available parking spots. It's quiet and away from the downtown hubbub. There's a walled patio at the front entrance and picnic tables on grass along the side entrance and wall. Inside there are three distinct seating areas, and a couch with a chess board at the entrance. This spot is good for working and had a few wfh gents when I arrived. There's a long refrigerated wall of beer and drinks and a half wall of wines for purchase. Bagged locally-roasted coffee is for sale on a wall display. There's a full cafe, a grab-n-go case with food and drink, and a full deli for breakfast and lunch items, made with quality, locally ingredients like Mythic Goat Coffee and Noble Bread. There's a gender neutral restroom near the entrance for customers. Good, mellow music is playing inside the cafe. The baristas here are extremely welcoming and friendly. They made me feel instantly comfortable and welcome to stay while I had my lunch, though it was my first time here. I ordered: - Hot 12 oz. Latte (2 shots espresso) - Roast Beef Panini - Roast Beef, Horseradish, Havarti Cheese, Caramelized Onion Jam, Roasted Red Pepper, Arugula, Horseradish Cream, Pressed on Sourdough Bread, Comes with a bag of Chips - So delicious!! I must get this again I sat at the high long table along the window facing outside to the retro swimming pool scene of the apartment next door. The doors were propped open on this perfect day. I couldn't have asked for a better lunch break. read more

Cute, hidden gem of a coffee bar in a residential area literally a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of Old Town Scottsdale. I needed to get some work done and initially tried to go to Sips but they were closed today at 4pm! I fired up my Yelp app and checked Google also and this place seemed legit so I gave it a try. This is right off 69th St and tucked slightly into a residential area. I parked on the street and walked in. Once inside, it's a community oasis. Lots of people inside having coffee, beer, working. Barista was very nice and welcoming. I ordered a 12 oz iced latte with oat milk with some caramel. Total came to under $10 with tip. I sat outside and batista brought me my drink. Wifi available and lots of neighbors definitely come here. Dogs are also allowed and there were some really adorable ones here. I'd definitely come back to this spot as it is low key, friendly, chill and a great spot! read more

Friendly people , good ice coffee and fun vibes while inside and outside also close to hotel valley ho if you're staying there.

The cups and lids for the ice coffee are terrible! The coffee seeps out the sides and drips on your clothes and if you have anything that is light colored, you have coffee spots all over it! Him to get better cups! read more
