I love the atmosphere at Janey's. If you're in the town of Cave Creek for a visit you need to stop here. Great service, good food and fun live music. My besties and I love popping in for lunch. We can socialize inside or outside in the beautiful AZ weather. read more

I honestly didn't eat or drink here so the 4 Stars are kinda based on all the happy people around me but this place in Cave Creek was jumpin'. There was a live band playing acoustic rock out in the packed desert patio. The weather was perfect for the end of August. I will have to head back up here, eat & drink and do a proper review read more

It was my first time here. I came for a show. The local band, Fillabusta, performed there. Good News: The band was great! The atmosphere is a cool - vibe mix of Coffeehouse/bar/restaraunt, the bathrooms are clean, stocked, & nice. The location is beautiful. Bad news: Slightly understaffed for a busy Friday night. No waitresses outside, you have to go to the bar to order/get refills... Customer Service lacking. The girls are so busy they can't focus on a good customer experience. The pizza was terrible. Too much bad quality cheese, doughy & chewy yet still burned on the bottom. Also, no plates or silverware for your pizza, you're at a bar, not a restaurant...wait? Isn't this a ... Which is it? read more

I fell in love the first time I came to Janey's. It is down-to-earth and so friendly that when you come back they remember you and if you're a repeat customer, they know your name and ask how you're doing! I've experienced Janey's from all three angles; I've come in the morning for coffee, in the afternoon to work, and in the evening to listen to their live music which is ALWAYS good! The inside is intimate and casual and the outside patio has a wonderful atmosphere with attractive, desert landscaping. Don't deprive yourself of the best coffee house and bar in the Cave Creek/North Phoenix area! read more

AWESOME live music spot. Great pizza and unexpectedly great wine selection for reasonable prices. Bands every night.

Wonderful place for a great breakfast made fresh and tasty as well as some fantastic local musicians sharing their talents. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and will certainly be back! read more

took an hour to even get our drinks (orange juice and a iced coffee) and 1.5 hrs to receive our food. honestly that's ridiculous !!

I highly recommend Janey's for local beers on tap, food and live music! It has a picturesque outside patio with natural desert & saguaros in the background. Outdoor seating, lighting & heaters just in case. Friendly staff and a great vibe. Look for your favorite local musicians playing there also...they're all excellent. read more

I love this place for am after hike drink and relaxing music and a small sharable bite to eat. This atmosphere is so darling

Janey's is our favorite spot in Cave Creek ... always wonderful music ... great local talent and they work hard to provide great entertainment ! Good food , awesome patio ! read more

A hidden gem! From the road you can't see the beauty of this place. Drive in and take a look - you won't be disappointed. Local beers on tap and live music. The outside patio is really neat with outdoor seating, lights, and heaters just in case. The live music stage has big saguaros in the background that adds to the cool scenery. Very friendly staff as well! read more

Janey's Bodega - Outside patio getting ready for live music! - Bars Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

What happened to all the good bartenders ??? The young lady today was more concerned with eating her pizza then helping customers. We tried ordering a drink from the bar and she told us we need to order at the coffee bar. Then she ignored us for a few minutes. Very confusing experience. We miss Anna!!!! And the other original bartenders... the ones that care about their customers read more

It was a mediocre Monday until we pulled into Janeys Coffee. We were looking for lunch and coffee. So delighted we happened upon this place! I knew I liked it as soon as we walked through the doors. The European craft espresso machine, alongside the bar, was a sight for tired eyes. We ordered lunch (fresh, yummy, enough for a take-away box), espresso with coconut milk (thank you for having coconut milk!), iced green tea (my 80-year-old mother was impressed which doesn't happen very often), and a fruit bowl (so many blackberries! yippee! - restaurants usually skimp on the berries). We had a lovely and leisurely lunch. I want to go back. I noticed the wine selection, so I am going to put this place on my "Return ASAP" list. The coffee was perfect; another reason to go back. Live music in the evening? My perfect trifecta! read more

I drove about 30 minutes to stop in for a coffee and a bite to eat after taking my dog to the dog park. I'd been before and knew you had to walk inside to order before taking a seat on the patio. I walked in the open door and was just about to order when a man came out of nowhere and said he'd take my dog outside while I ordered. Who the heck are you, I thought and I don't just hand over my Corgi to anybody. He insisted and I should've just left but I'd driven all that way. I reluctantly handed over my dog and the cashier informed me he is the owner and rolled her eyes at his rude behavior. I placed my order and went outside to retrieve my dog who had been upset the entire time at being snatched away from his mom. The wait for my chicken caesar wrap was quite long as there was only one single slow-moving server. I watched other tables waiting longer than me for their orders. There was entertainment in the form of a man with a guitar who was quite full of himself calling everyone 'man'. I doubt I'll make the drive again. read more

It's amazing! Fun for everyone! Great music! Fabulous outdoor venue in CaveCreek! The variety of music is always changing, so it's fun and new a bunch. If you see someone you like, they'll be back so you can create a following! Worth a try for sure! read more

Just went to visit family in Cave Creek, had to get a Lavender Latte and I'm a happy lady read more

Love this place. Awesome service and staff. Food is fantastic as well. Get there to see some live music!!

The drinks are great along with the atmosphere, however, the food needs a lot of improvement.

Enjoying a great L Mother's Day Cavecreek. A Musician is setting up to play his guitar's. Wha great way to spend the afternoon relaxing in the desert. read more

Janey's Bodega - Great place to relax have a great coffee and kick back. We got the caramel vanilla latte which is fun nominal very light not bitter. - Bars Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

Stopped by with some friends because we were staying in Cave Creek at another friends house. And I have to tell you that this place is the best. The food is crazy. The scenery is awesome. And the people are awesome too because the service with some of the best I've had. I think this is the best cup of coffee I've had in a long time and on a real coffee person. But most of all it's a real relaxed hangout where you can just enjoy some good food and the friends that you're with. 5 stars for sure. read more

This has been one of our go-to cafes for years. We love the casual rustic atmosphere, both inside and out on the patio. The food is really good. Try the breakfast burritos, the Reuben, the chicken salad sandwich, the oatmeal... and so many more good options. They have a great variety of delicious teas, hot or iced and if an adult beverage is what you have a hankering for, they've got you well covered. They offer live music. The service is friendly. It's a great place to relax. In other words, what are you waiting for?!? Put Janeys on your short list of small businesses truly worth supporting. read more

New local favorite- great outdoor patio and good music every night. See you again next time!

Love Janeys...awesome that they have music daily. Coffee and margaritas are excellent. Food is good and fresh, but can sometimes take a bit long to get it. Love, love the atmosphere! read more

This place is under different ownership from when we came 3yrs ago. They have made it even better than it already was. The live music every night is fantastic. And the Dirty Chai with Coconut Milk was the BEST I've ever had in my life. I wish that I lived locally (one day) read more

We have lived here for years and have never tried Janey's, it just doesn't look like much from the outside to be honest. We went the night the Sugar Thieves were playing and there was a $10 cover, but Mark let us in and we told him if we stayed for the band we would pay. We STAYED for the band. Lovely customers and staff, and good drinks. We did not eat (already dined at another location) but we will be back (the pizzas looked great!) I think we have been missing out, and plan to become regulars! read more

Really cool atmosphere here at Janey's. If you want drinks and live music, this place is great. Nice outside seating and some good options. Stay away from the food at all costs! Really terrible. read more

Wow. I'll be back. Amazing outdoor patio with saguaro cactus backdrop all lit up at night. Came here with friends and had a blast. Was chilly night but they took they chill out of the air. Heater lamps and blankets provided to stay warm. Absolutely love cave creek and it's hidden gems. Look forward to my next visit and who I show this off to. read more

Cool, laid back breakfast place (and bar with music later in the day) with The Best oatmeal I've had. The oatmeal itself was tasty, but it also had blueberries, almonds, pecans, cranberries, strawberries and bananas loaded on it. Extremely good! Add great service and coffee to the mix and you have a real hidden gem!! read more

Janey's Bodega - Back patio view - Bars Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

We love Janey's!! Locally owned, fun, and friendly atmosphere. Coffees are wonderful, great breakfast sandwich, and the best oatmeal with fresh fruit. Evenings are a perfect night out with craft cocktails, local musicians every night, and beautiful patios. When in Cave Creek, Janey's is a must! read more

There are a remarkable number of indie coffeehouses in Cave Creek/Carefree for such a small area, but Janey's is hands down my absolute favorite. The coffee is superb - beans are supplied by The Roastery of Cave Creek - and always hand-crafted perfectly to your specifications. The food is delish, always fresh and made when you order, not before. They have a lovely, well-edited wine selection, including a Riesling I was pleasantly surprised to also see offered at Zinc Bistro, and some great beer on tap. Stop by Thursday nights for local music, or weekend mornings to enjoy chats with the locals around the outdoor fire (in the winter, of course!). It is important to me to spend my money in locally-owned, family-operated business whenever possible, and that's another reason why I love this place. It is truly a family labor of love - all of them work here, and you'll see them all circle through if you sit there long enough. You're apt to be there all day if you sink into one of the overstuffed leather armchairs... Free wifi so you can work if you're so inclined. The highlight of Janey's, other than the great coffee, food and bar, are their two affable Afghan hounds, Moses and Ghandi. While some people come by just to play with the dogs, I suggest you at least enjoy a cup of coffee while you do so : ) Bring your own pooch too - Janey's patio is a great doggy hangout! Yoga Breeze was doing a full moon yoga session on the patio in warmer weather, and hopefully that will resume when this Arctic freeze we're experiencing ends. And by the way, if you can't handle a little dust on your car a la the dude from Glendale below, you probably shouldn't be coming to Cave Creek. But I think if dirt parking lots don't bother the owners of the multi-million dollar homes in town with vehicles to match, you could probably let it slide, too. If not, there's a $5 car wash up the road. read more

I stopped here at 6:30 AM so I was the only one there while I had my coffee and pastry. Such a pleasant environment. Strong coffee and plenty of seating inside and out. If I found myself in the area for an extended period of time, I'd visit often. read more

Janey's Bodega - Inside Janey's Cave Creek. - Bars Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

Beautiful venue. I go when there is live music in the evening. Basic selection of craft beer. Almost all of the seating is outside. They do have heaters when it's cool out. I was there last Friday night. Friend and I ordered a pizza. I asked for it to be well done.....well, it was totally burnt; unedible. They did take it off the bill. You order inside for food and drinks. They bring out the food to you. If you are unlucky enough to get Candice as your bartender, be prepared. She is totally unhelpful and rude. When my friend and I asked about the beers on tap, she couldn't be bothered to tell us about them. She just said, "do you know what you want or not?" Seriously? She seems to have that attitude every time I am there. I continue to go back because I love the music and venue. read more

Have to take a moment to reflect on the evening last night at Janey's. Found the location in my search to see Chuck Hall. A quick look at yelp indicated all the strengths I look for - excellent coffee, open patio, light fare, and full bar - combined with the musical styling of one of my favorite local guitar players and we had the makings for a memorable night. While enroute, encountered a moderate thunderstorm right over cave creek. Not sure how are evening might be impacted. Found the location and arrived as a local yoga class was ending under light rain - nice people. Met Jake behind the bar who quickly greeted us and helped with food and cocktail choices. Pub board was great - loved the olives, the warm pretzel and fresh fruit. Build your own sandwich was fresh and tasty. Rain cleared, friends arrived, and blessed with a temperature drop of about 25 degrees, we settled into the patio for drinks, cigars, and fantastic music. Sitting on the patio with the Sonoran desert backdrop, full moon, ideal weather - I did not want it to end. Later met Mitch and Sam. Outstanding hosts. Sam is an alchemist with the lattes - I believe our group finished off six of them - the two "spiked" versions were my favorite. The coffee was fresh and flavorful and went down like butter. Mitch and Jake helped out our ambitious crew with a round of tequila shots and provided friendly and gracious service all night. This was my first night at Janey's, but it won't be my last. Looking forward to catching Hans Olsen here the next time he is on the schedule. read more

Great place. Their draft beers are awesome with great choice. The live music is free and is nice. Julian, the owner, welcomed us very well. Go to place in cave creek after 7 pm read more

I stopped here while visiting Cave Creek and found it to be a very nice place, it's a coffeehouse but they sell spirits too. I only had coffee but found that the inside and especially the outside seating options were nicely appointed. Outside was tranquil and bordered by saguaros and I could see jack rabbits and birds having a jolly time in the Sonoran brush. read more

This place is a little tricky to find but definitely worth the effort. Their sandwiches are made with Boar's Head meat and generous fixings. The side of fruit actually includes berries. The drinks are high quality; I prefer the fresh brewed ice tea. The decor is boldly rustic with a strange mix of heavy materials harvested from the wreckage of a late 1800's southwestern mining town, and well balanced with the feel of a high class bodega from that same time period. A garage-sized door behind the bar opens up into the landscape of our beautiful Sonoran desert. They also offer live music performances at night. Check 'em out! read more

Janey's is simply the best. We walked in and felt like we could relax here all day - and then we did. The coffee drinks are all delicious not to mention all the beers on tap. We enjoyed personalizing our oatmeal and yogurt at breakfast and later our paninis from the amazing lists of options. Everything is fresh and made to order. The decor is very authentic Cave Creek. We will be back. read more

One of my absolute favorite places to go for coffee, or a beer or glass of wine and lots of chilled, rustic but classy atmosphere. Great meeting spot for me and my motorcycle buddies before a ride. Beer and wine selection is excellent (I'm a proud beer and wine snob). The coffee is great (also a coffee snob) The wait staff is not only awesome - but they're also a bunch of cowgirl hotties. Janey's is ALL about atmosphere and top quality food and drink. The food menu is definitely limited - as their kitchen is extremely small - but everything is fresh. I'm not a big review guy - at all. More prone to give a bad review than a good one, but Janey's is a special place. read more

Too bad ...beautiful morning, meeting friends, great seating area outdoors and so disappointing... Took 45 minutes for cold food no flavor and the bell pepper and mushrooms that we thought would be cooked in the eggs were raw and thrown on top. Waitress was sorry very apologetic and refunded for food. Was a bummer because it could've been great with just a cooking staff. read more

What a nasty experience. I popped in for a tea, careful to respect distance between myself and others. A man who appeared to be in charge told me that I would have to wear a mask or leave. I explained to him that I have a medical exemption but he did not respect that. Also note that this man who was demanding that I put on a mask was not wearing a mask himself. Where is the logic? This nonsense ends when we all say no. read more
