    Irish Cold Brew
    Grant W.

    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.

    Came here for breakfast and a coffee before going to the airport and I really loved this spot! Super cute indoor and outdoor seating tucked just inside of a neighborhood. The coffee and food here was great and I would love to come back for their wine happy hour.

    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.

    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.

    Cute neighborhood.

    Pumpkin spice was nice and my matcha latte was a lotta. Tasty cream cheese pumpkin muffin. We enjoyed the pleasant outdoorsy neighborhood vibe as we sipped on the patio. Barista was kind.

    Just as good as I remember it! The croissant sandwich sauce on the side is SO good! Got an iced mocha light milk and half sweet. Perfect!

    I came here for a pick me up afternoon fix , I found this place had good reviews so wanted to check them out ! The atmosphere was nice and relaxed ! The lady who took my order was very nice and helpful when ordering ! I ordered my usual ice mocha latte, I got a large . It was definitely more pricey than I thought it was a gonna be but it was good.

    This is exactly what a local coffee shop should be. For lunch I got the Caprese panini no meat and a latte with 2% milk. Located in a cute mid century neighborhood and plenty of seating outside. I'll definitely be back to try some of the fall specials. There is also a small selection of wine for sale and a wine tasting Thursday 4-7pm.

    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.

    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. I ordered a dirty chai latte and their breakfast bagel panini, which was surprisingly delicious. Definitely recommend checking this place out, and I'll be back soon to try more of their menu!

    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

    Cute, local coffee shop down the street from our hotel. I got an iced latte, and my husband got an Americano - both were delicious. We also ordered a couple to-go breakfast items that were made fresh and quickly. Quick and friendly service - would highly recommend this shop.

The hostess was very friendly and led us back to the community table near the bar. Our server/bartender was busy at the bar and taking orders. No smile, a no- nonsense personality which is fine, just not friendly at all. My husband and friend decided to do beer flights. They enjoyed except for one of the beers they said had no flavor. I opted for a Tito's dirty martini which is my favorite drink. They enjoyed the beer flights but unfortunately when my martini was delivered, I swore the glass hadn't been properly washed as it had a sweet, coffee taste. I let our server know and she immediately took it and said she would make another which was great. I did see her grab a new glass. Unfortunately the new martini tasted exactly the same. Almost like a terrible espresso martini with olive juice. It was not drinkable. Either she didn't know how to make a dirty martini or the olive juice or vermouth went bad. I couldn't stomach the drink and felt nauseous so left it. We ordered a Chef's Board. Cheese selections, plus pepperoni, salami, prosciutto, mixed nuts & fruits, olives and fig jam. They missed the nuts, fruit and olives. The meat and cheese were good but it was a basic board. We should have ordered the pizza instead as everyone around us had a pizza and it smelled delicious. Our first visit was not the best experience, however, we may give it another try and check out the pizza instead.

    I'm so glad I finally got to check this place out, it was such a vibe!…read more I came around 530 pm on a Tuesday and it was busy. There is a small parking lot that they share with the coffee shop next door, but it was full and I had to park on the street. Indoor/outdoor seating is available, and it was the perfect night for being outside. I loved the string lights and the sunset was awesome. They offer beer, cider and white claw here. The person working let me sample a few beers before I decided on the Birthday Suit beer. It was delicious! There are food trucks/tents throughout the week, and on this day there was a pizza place. I didn't order one but they did smell and look delicious. There was even a small brick oven! Goldwater also puts on Bend and Brew events with Hot Yoga University when the weather is nice. It is a lot of fun! I can't wait to check this place out again.

    Goldwater Brewing is a great find!…read more We had family in town who love visiting local breweries so we found Goldwater on Yelp and decided to give it a try! Goldwater has indoor and outdoor seating options. It was a warm day so we sat inside at the hi-top. I didn't see food options available but it is located next to a few restaurants. My husband and friend enjoyed their beer flights and since I don't drink beer, I was happy to see a cooler with wine and other options such as white claw, etc. the beer was poured directly from the fermenter tank. The staff were very friendly and explained they had to open the wine bottle and make the first pour which was fine with me. We look forward to coming back in the near future.

We enjoyed our visit so much we decided to stop at their Arcadia location today, since it is much closer to our home neighborhood. What a lovely day to sit at the bar off the patio and enjoy the weather, beer and food. Our bartender/server was the lovely Katie (not sure about her name spelling). But she was delightful and explained some options for us and let us sample a few beers. We stuck with the Park Ranger beer which is what we tried on Sunday. For food my husband enjoyed the excellent fish tacos, plump and flavorful. He decided he also needed an order of the french fries. They are delicious and are served with two sauces. I had the queso dip with chips and it was wonderful as well. We also joined their diner club since we plan on visiting this place on a regular basis. If you live in Arcadia you're probably aware of this little gem. If not, plan on stopping in. The food and prices are very reasonable and so is the beer; especially if you dine during Happy Hour times.

Honestly, I have no idea how it got those reviews. Maybe they're paid, I'm not sure, but based on my experience I would not go back. The biggest issue was the service. We arrived and were told to sit anywhere we wanted. After sitting down, we waited about 20 minutes and no one ever came to our table. No greeting, no water, nothing. Eventually I had to walk up to the bar and ask what the procedure was. Do we order at the bar? Do you have table service? No one could give a clear answer. They just kept saying, "If you want, you can order here." That's not the point. If I sit down at a restaurant, I expect someone to come to the table and explain how things work or take our order. If the system is that you order at the bar, just say that clearly so people know what to do. The drinks were also very mediocre. Nothing special at all. Honestly, they tasted like something you could throw together at home with soda, alcohol, and ice. The surprising part is that the food was actually phenomenal. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. The dishes were delicious and probably the best part of the entire experience. But great food alone isn't enough to make me return somewhere with poor service and forgettable drinks. My recommendation is don't waste your time on a Sunday brunch. There are plenty of other brunch spots with good food and good service.
