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.

Janey's Coffee Co & Bodega is truly a treasure. Set back from the main road (Cave Creek), I was…read moremildly surprised at how busy it was on a late Sunday Afternoon. I say "mildly suprised" because once we walked up to the actual coffee house we heard the live music on the large back patio. One of our absolutely favorite local artist, Aaron Howard was performing, and he definitely brings in a crowd. It was busy, as I mentioned, but not too crowded, and we found a good table towards the back. As it was the begging of the hot weather this spring, we were very grateful for the generous-sized table umbrellas. But first, we went inside the Bodega to order a Beer and a snack. They have a great selection of Beer and wine! And since we were still 2 hours or so away from dinner, we decided to grab a veggie & cheese board, which had a nice variety of cruditè and humas. It was very satisfying for 2 adults. We spent.a total of about 2 hours there and left there knowing we would be coming back to Janey's. Side note: For those of you who need accessibility, I myself am on an electric scooter for ambulating. The parking lot is dirt and only has a couple of handicap parking spots. But no space is more than approximately 150 ft from the entrance to Janey's. Once you get to the building, it is very easy to get in and out of the main bodega, with wide, level doorways. The doors were propped open when we visited. I did not utilize the restroom on this visit.

I was meeting a friend and that's when it was recommended to me…read more Great place for coffee at least and maybe work from home type of set up. Didn't try the food but someday. Lots of space inside and out, and staff is friendly. As it's in Cave Creek, you will always meet some friendly locals or visitors but loved the place. I will definitely visit again.

As I entered the café, I saw a regular who hangs out there all the time. After I ordered, I joined him. I ordered a blueberry smoothie and a blueberry muffin. I do enjoy the taste of blueberries. Both orders were very good. Their homemade muffins have a strudel top. Yum! They also make a nice moist scone. Very relaxing to sit in there. They have regular tables and chairs or high tops. There is also a couch if you prefer that. Of course they have their outdoor seating and many people were doing that as well. Even for a Sunday it was fairly crowded. Free refills on their regular drinks. Shared parking lot.

Stopped by Bull & Brew and ordered a hot matcha latte, and it was exactly what I was hoping for…read more Smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. You can actually taste the matcha instead of it being drowned out by syrup. It had that clean, earthy flavor with a nice creamy finish. Temperature was perfect, and the texture was velvety with a good foam on top. It felt fresh and well made, not rushed. Great option if you're looking for something warm without going the coffee route. The atmosphere made it even better. Solid spot to get some work done, meet up with someone, or just sit and enjoy a quality drink. I'll definitely be ordering this again.

Little Snitch is located in The Citadel plaza. I visited this cute restaurant on the…read morerecommendation of a friend. It's very pink in this restaurant! Faux pink flowers decorate the walls. It has an English feel about it. Staff are very nice and welcoming. I decided to try one of their homemade blueberry muffins. The muffin had a streusel top. The inside was soft, moist and full of blueberries. We might have a new contender for best muffin around. Guess I will have to try it again to determine the winner. LOL! I helped myself to one of the containers of lemon water. Tap water is also available. I sat in the nice plaza full of pomegranate trees. It was a bit warm as the fan missed where I sat. I would definitely return and try something else. Their pastries looked very tempting. Shared parking lot.

I LOVE this place! The inside is super cute with flowers everywhere and tons of pink. The outside…read moreis lovely and is pretty tolerable even on the hottest days with plenty of shade and cool air blasting. You walk up and order, get a number, grab a table, and they bring you everything. The coffee drinks are amazing. The lavender honey latte, the cookie butter cold brew, and the red velvet latte are downright addicting. The veggie wrap is awesome, as are the scones with brie. The butternut squash omelet is also a favorite. I don't know if they make their sourdough bread there, but I've never had better. We grabbed some pastries to go this time as well, so I can't wait to try them. It gets busy but they really hustle to keep everyone happy.

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.

The beautiful and talented young woman behind the counter warmly took our drink order and made me a specialty coffee she had never heard of--and she made it perfectly!

By the time we were seated, our drinks were ready and we felt genuinely welcomed. She made an already wonderful morning even better!
