    In the corner, where I prefer
    Jessica C.

    Tucked away like a little secret in Old Town, Red Canyon Café is adorable. It's not right on Main Street, you've got to wander down a quiet little courtyard (right next to the hat bar) to find it. Totally worth the mini treasure hunt. Teeny tiny, cozy vibes, just two sweet baristas working when I popped in. I ordered a decaf latte and... wow. Smooth, absolutely zero bitterness, just rich, velvety deliciousness. It's kind of blowing my mind, honestly. They had some tempting treats, but I stuck with coffee this time. Quiet, friendly, and full of charm. If you like finding hidden gems, put this one on your list.

    Such a cute coffee and ice cream shop! We walked in and were helped immediately. The coffees were delicious. The art work was entertaining and it was worth the trip just to see the art, especially in the bathroom .

    Full monte crepe

    We ate a full monte crepe. It was stuffed with plentiful fresh ingredients including mushrooms, spinach, bacon, onions, and cheese. A satisfying snack! But was too thick to be a crepe - more like a tortilla.

    This is a cute little cafe we stumbled upon because we were staying in the area. We came in for the gelato but they also had coffee, sandwiches, and crepes. The gelato was delicious. The atmosphere was cute and cozy and the service was great. The gelato that we had was delicious and fairly priced. We had eaten gelato at Pomo the night before. We will definitely drop by again on this trip.

    Hot oat latte

    Charming little café serving drinks, breakfast food, gelato, and sandwiches, giving that old town, Scottsdale Western vibe in the heart of old town on Main Street. This café is tucked into a wood planked alley along with some tourist shops and restaurants. There is a shaded patio that gives a sense of privacy from the main road to enjoy lunch or drinks. I stopped in for a coffee and late lunch after work and enjoyed very friendly and attentive service. I ordered: - Hot Oat Latte (nice, strong latte) - #9-Turkey, Mozzarella, Pesto Panini There are trivia cards in espresso cups on each table for entertainment, and there is a gender neutral restroom for customers.

    This is a cute little cafe tucked in the corner of Scottsdale old town. They have holiday themed drinks! The inside of the shop is a little small, but there is seating inside and outside. I ordered the iced caramel macchiato which was $5.95 without tax or any substituted milk. I ordered it with oat milk so it was over $7 for the coffee, which is pretty expensive in my opinion, but... it's also Scottsdale so makes sense. The coffee itself was good, no complaints there. My friend ordered the "Mrs. Claus" coffee which is a white mocha that came with whipped cream and peppermint sprinkles which was cute. However, the baristas forgot to make her drink so it took like 10 minutes to get both of our drinks. We sat outside and had a great time talking. I like the location of this coffee shop because it is in the corner of some shops, so it feels semi-private but you can still sit next to the neighboring restaurant. I also like the this cafe has stickers for their coffee and they offer "stoppers" for when you don't want your drink to spill. I like that they are made out of wood instead of plastic as well, along with their drink trays. I can tell that they care about the environment which is always a plus. Overall, I think this is a good coffee shop to catch up with a friend (but not a large group), and I could come back again.

    One great breakfast bagel!

    We looked in Yelp for a breakfast recommendation and the Red Canyon Cafe popped up with a 4.8 star rating. I had a coffee with bacon, egg and cheese. The coffee comes H O T!!! Very tasty and satisfying. Actually some of the best coffee we've had in a while! The plain bagel was delicious, perfectly toasted. The eggs are farm fresh and bacon with the cheese was excellent. Together they made a truly homemade tasting breakfast bite! Quinton and Sophia are excellent servers, with great smiles and personalities to match. Five stars from me!

    We had a Nutella strawberry crepe, croissant, bagel and some drinks. The lemonades were overly sour, to the point they weren't drinkable. We told the lady and she gladly remade them and it was much better! Not sure what it was, just maybe the last of the container? The everything bagel wasn't anything spectacular-your everyday bagel. The best part was the strawberry Nutella crepe. It was delicious! Honey chai latte was also very tasty. Cappuccino was nice and strong espresso.

    We found Red Canyon while walking around Old Town and are so glad we did! It's a little tucked away but an absolute gem! Our first time trying it but we will definitely be back. The inside is small but they have a good sized menu for coffee, food, and gelato! The staff is extremely nice and very helpful. Since it was our first time in we had some questions about the menu and they answered them all for us. We tried a couple of their seasonal Fall drinks, including their Pumpkin Pie Chai. Highly recommend! It was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! It's definitely worth the find and is a nice, quiet break to hustle of Old Town. Plus, the coffee is fantastic!

    Got an iced dirty chai, so good sweet but not to sweet. The service was amazing and super chill atmosphere

I love that they let you sample as many as you'd like before deciding! Service was quick, but we never felt rushed while trying flavors and figuring out what we wanted. The waffle cones taste SO fresh because they literally are!! Someone was making them right there while we picked our ice cream. Such a nice touch! We shared a Double Dough and Darkest Chocolate together in a fresh waffle cone and it was so, so good. Did not get a picture because we ate it so fast! Easy parking, great service, delicious ice cream, and fresh waffle cones. Definitely 5 stars!

I sampled at least 4 flavors and they didn't seem too annoyed with me. My issue with Jeni's is primarily I think all of their ice cream across the board is too sweet (I know, it's dessert... I just really feel that dialing the sugar to 2/3 the amount would be perfect). All of the flavors I sampled would have been great. I ultimately ordered Buttercream Birthday Cake and Milkiest Chocolate, with the Buttercream Birthday Cake really pushing my boundary. Nonetheless enjoyable outing on a really hot July day. I'd go back to this location, bearing in mind it's not my favorite ice cream in the world. Also I must add, it's quite expensive. Buying for me individually, doesn't do too much damage, but for say a family of 4, this would be a pricey outing.

The food was very yummy! A little on the pricier side but nothing too crazy. I must say the Chicken Parm was a huge hit. Very mouthwatering good and crispy outer layer. The bacon wrap dates were also delicious. The tuna crudo could use a little more flavor with the sauces, but the chips were an interesting touch. The cannoli cake was perfectly executed. I would take a whole cake home if I could. The only item that was a fail was the short rib pasta, it tasted like chorizo and was flavorless. The pasta also kinda came out room temp, kinda cold. The pesto Arancini balls were also an eh and same with the chocolate moose cake. We did the restaurant week menu, hence why everything is a smaller portion size. Except the tuna crudo was ordered off the regular menu since I'm a huge Crudo fan, I figured I wanted more. The chicken parm was huge considering it was off the restaurant week menu, definitely worth it! For parking, there is valet, a parking lot and a parking garage. I didn't see anyone working the valet when I drive by and the parking lot was packed so I ended up parking in the free parking garage which is a short distance of a walk. I would visit again but on someone else's dime

    A Nostalgic, Must-Visit Dessert Destination in Old Town Scottsdale…read more Our party of six visited the Sugar Bowl for dessert following a friend's birthday dinner. Upon our arrival, we were accommodated immediately and seated without any delay. The parlor features a wonderful, nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of the late 1900s. Its menu is remarkably expansive, offering an impressive variety of options that goes well beyond what one might typically expect from a traditional dessert establishment. The service we received was patient and polite. While one of our table's orders was initially overlooked, the staff corrected the mistake instantly as soon as we brought it to our server's attention. As the name implies, the menu leans heavily into decadent, sweet treats; those looking for lighter or tart options like yogurt variations will find limited choices, but the indulgent selections are perfect for traditional dessert lovers. The surrounding neighborhood adds significantly to the appeal, offering an excellent Old Town atmosphere filled with art galleries, historic shops, and artifacts. If you are visiting the nearby Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA), enjoying dinner in the area, or simply taking an evening walk, I highly recommend stopping by the Sugar Bowl for its unique historical charm and experience.

I considered several options in Phoenix area to review, but I decided to go with the iconic Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale. It's been in business since the 1950's and has been a staple for 7 decades in Old Town. The inside is 1890's decor of pink & white wallpaper/decor like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. They have a bar area and standard seating. I remember I first went here when I was in high school in late 90's/early 2000's. Ice cream was always top notch. I used to get the Buster Brownie, which was this big brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, goeey marshmallow topping, whipped cream, & cherry on top. It was awesome! I loved that way back then. I got lunch there once or twice; pretty good sandwiches, but the real highlight is the ice cream. My most recent visit was in Jan. 2022 with my dad. We decided to pop in for ice cream. It was as delicious as I remembered.
