Another stop on our coffee crawl of the valley. We stopped by Carefree Coffee on a Sunday morning…read moreand had a wonderful experience! It was definitely busy, which is always a good sign, but the atmosphere still felt welcoming and relaxed. We ordered a hot vanilla cappuccino, served in an awesome oversized mug, and a hot Americano. Both coffees were excellent and a perfect way to start the morning. We also tried the BBQ Chip burrito and bacon burrito, which were hearty, flavorful, and delicious. One of our favorite things was the covered, misted patio--such a great spot to sit and enjoy your coffee, especially in the Arizona heat.

We came for their latte art, and it was very pretty! Also ordered a lox bagel, a breakfast burrito,…read moreand a peach pie for dessert. The latte was very smooth. There were some pickled cucumbers in the burrito, which were special and I haven't had this before. The bagel was surprisingly fluffy and light, we liked it more than the burrito. The peach pie was not too sweet, it could be better if it's warm, but the crust was crispy and tasty. The environment was clean, and the staff was friendly.

Had a fabulous time last night at the Black Mountain Cafe -& Lounge. Originally called the Black…read moreMountain Coffee and one suite wide, they have expanded twice in the last five years or so and have a beautiful bar and restaurant area big enough for weekend bands. Their outside patio is super cozy and flanked with super tall and covered with wind sails equipped with misters to cool the area in the summer. Their Food is very reasonably priced and everything I've had has been nice n tasty . Last night I had their Chicken Piccata while sitting at the bar watching the band. I'd recommend it ... Check it out , you won't be disappointed. The whole Cave Creek / care free Arizona area is just great .

We both got breakfast. I got the 123 and he got the steak and eggs…read more Steak was cooked perfectly, as was my order. Bacon was like home cooking. Thick and chewy with just a little bit of crunch. The service was fantastic. This felt like a small town café with real home cooking. Would definitely come back.

Have had this place bookmarked for a while but didn't have anything to make my own coffee at home…read morebud now I do! It's really cool, kinda off on its own and neat architecture. Just a small place, they use the honor system and you can pay with Venmo/cash/zelle outside from the fridge, but I went inside to check it out. Got to see all the roasting equipment which was cool! I got a bag of decaf as my pregnancy craving currently is cold brew but I can't drink much caffeine! Can't wait to make it! Staff is nice and helpful as well! Would for sure come back. My son loved the little metal goat outside too haha.

I was under the impression that ROC 2 was a coffee house with brew and baked goods. I was…read moresurprised when the front door was locked. I could see people roaming around. One of the staff asked if they could help me. I explained I was looking for some treats. Staff apologized and said that this was a wholesale coffee house. Staff recommended the Grotto Cafe which I've been to many many times. Well, it was good to know what this place does. I've passed it at least 100 times. So if you are a coffeehouse, I need your supply, visit these nice people. Small parking lot available.

Cute place, yummy drinks. Clean and unique bathrooms. But, umbrellas were broken and the cushions…read moreon chairs were gross and stained. I can actually live with that. However, what' will keep us from going back is the no-personality service. Been there twice in the afternoon and both times the service was stoic. For us friendly service tops everything. Nobody wants to feel like you're inconveniencing the employees.

I took my daughter here for her birthday. She has Early Onset Alzheimer's. The staff was fantastic…read more They gave us a table outside where we would have less people and conversation around us. My daughter loved it and wants to go back. We will once the weather is cooler and we can sit outside again. We had tea so she was able to pick up the smaller sandwiches to eat without help. The food was great and so was the tea.

Such a fun experience!!! The tea selections are so vast and varied!!! Truly you will find choices…read morethat you enjoy!! The finger foods and baked goodies vs price, is really where they fall very short!! The baked goodies are so dry and unflavorful lol Totally will go again, as it's fun and the servers really try to keep everyone happy. I'll just go after we have already eaten to enjoy tea and the vibes!! I always make a reservation!

Their scones are so good; soft, moist and so many blueberries. Yum, yum. The scones flew out of the box. Shared parking lot.

Really disappointing experience at Grotto Cafe. The employee taking my order didn't even fully take…read moremy order or make sure I was finished before moving on. On top of that, every employee we interacted with came across as rude, cold, and unwelcoming. There was no friendliness or basic customer service, and it honestly felt like we were bothering them just by being there. I understand places can get busy and everyone can have an off day, but when the attitude seems to come from the entire staff, it really affects the experience. Unfortunately, based on the service alone, I wouldn't recommend this place and don't plan on returning.

Find The Village Coffee Shop in the Stagecoach Village. This coffee shop specializes in crêpes,…read moreboth savory and sweet. While I do like the savory ones, the sweet ones are really my desire. I ordered the red rose, a strawberry crêpe with Nutella. My friend got a savory crêpe with ham. We were so busy talking I forgot to get a photo of hers.

I will say the vegan chocolate cake for dinner was hands down my favorite dessert. If you've ever seen the movie Matilda and watched the scene of the kid eating that decedent chocolate cake, you'll definitely be reminded of that cake. If you've never seen Matilda, a quick YouTube search will catch you up to speed. In regard to service, I was very impressed with this restaurant and the individuals that provided service to us. They were very kind and accommodated all our needs.
