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.

Prettiest hot chocolate ever!

Look for the storefront called Lazy Lizard on Cave Creek Road and turn down that street. There is a small parking lot. You will find the coffee house at the end. The coffee house has a nice feel to it. It is very welcoming. Staff are friendly. There are several tables and chairs and two couches. The feel is casual. It's a good place to hang out with your laptop, have a snack and or cup of coffee. Stay as long as you like. Their specialty is their cinnamon rolls. I tried their pumpkin muffin. It was fresh and soft. I enjoyed my time there.

I ordered a small coffee and just a touch of creamer. I sat down until it was ready. They called for me so I picked it up and sat down and tasted the coffee. It was Luke warm almost cold. I took it back up to the counter to see if they could heat it up for me. Instead of putting it in the microwave, they just added hot water. ????? So now it was a little hotter but very very weak. I didn't say anything but my wife thought it odd they would add hot water as well. I forgave this because they were just getting started. Months later now and Second trip in today- I ordered small coffee and a burrito. She asked if I would like cream with that? I said yes please just a touch of cream. 3 to 5 min later my coffee was ready. I sat down and tasted it and it was so weak and Luke warm again. I pulled the top off and the coffee was white with so much cream it cooled and diluted the coffee again. At this time my burrito was ready, I sat down and opened the box it was in and it was burnt crispy black all around the outside of the burrito. So much for a warm soft tortilla. The egg and bacon filling was sparse at best. At this point I was hungry and we needed to get to the car show in cave creek so I at what I could as the tortilla shattered in my mouth from being burnt and a few more sips of weak lukewarm warm coffee, I tossed it all in the trash. And lastly while my wife and sat at the table trying to enjoy this, a customer's dog was roaming from table to table begging me for food. If I could give B and B a zero I would.

Honestly, the best Starbucks ever…read more What can you say? Prices are uniform, so what's the difference? The people here ARE the difference! Not just very easy to work with, pleasant, courteous... but genuinely exceptional. The location is very nice: one of the things I look for anywhere I want to eat is checking the floor, counters, tables, pickup area -- and everything here is immaculate. Spotless. I don't think I've ever seen such a well-coordinated team outside of the cockpit, and they operate precisely, smoothly... great to watch them move, shift around without stumbling over each other. A fun group -- seriously, great ambassadors for Starbucks.

I have been a loyal Starbucks customer for years, and I order a Venti Iced Brown Sugar Shaken…read moreEspresso with whole milk from this location almost every day. Today, I picked up my drink and immediately noticed a large number of white curds floating throughout it. I had never seen anything like that in this drink before, but I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe it was harmless. Then I took one sip. This was not a coffee that tasted slightly off, poorly mixed, or incorrectly prepared. This was genuinely one of the most disgusting things I have ever tasted. When I say the milk was spoiled, I do not mean it was a little past its best quality. Even ordinary expired milk does not taste this horrific. It tasted as though the milk had been left sitting at room temperature since the previous day, possibly overnight, and then used to make drinks anyway. The taste was so intensely rotten that I immediately had to spit it out. I honestly cannot understand how milk could become that spoiled without anyone noticing the smell, appearance, texture, or taste. The drink had visible curds throughout it. How does something in that condition get poured, shaken, handed to a customer, and treated as acceptable? This was not a small mistake. It was a complete failure to pay attention to basic food quality and safety. What made the experience even worse was how the situation was handled. When I brought the drink inside and showed it to the employee, he responded with a completely indifferent demeanor and told me it was probably just not shaken enough. I shook the drink directly in front of him to show that the curds were still there and that shaking obviously had nothing to do with it. I even told him he was welcome to taste it himself if he did not believe me. There was no apology, no concern, and no acknowledgment that they had just served a customer a drink containing severely spoiled milk. He simply asked whether I wanted another one. Serving milk that tasted this rotten was bad enough. Responding with a negative attitude and trying to dismiss your customer is what completely destroyed my trust for this brand. After years of being a regular customer and spending a significant amount of money at Starbucks, I am done with this location and most likely the brand entirely.

I understand recipes and measurements exist, but it's frustrating to pay $10-15 for a drink and realize a large portion of what you're buying is apparently ice. If removing the ice leaves the cup half empty, that doesn't feel like a customization--it feels like you're paying the same price for less product. I'm sure I'm not the only customer who finds this frustrating. Most people ordering "no ice" aren't expecting extra product; they're expecting the drink size they paid for. The interaction itself was disappointing, but the policy and lack of customer service from the tween staff is what really missed the mark.

It's a big space and clean, with plenty of parking, even a few spots specifically dedicated to the shop. I visited one weekend morning and there was only one group inside, and a few cars in their drive-thru. I had some coupons and wanted to use one, so I ordered a small Thai tea with boba and added a chocolate croissant (one of my favorite pastries). The man ringing me up was friendly and made my transaction easy. He asked if I wanted my croissant heated up, and I said yes. My items were prepared quickly and I was on my way. My drink hit the spot and the boba wasn't super fresh, but it was fine. The croissant was very chocolaty, chewy and delicious; really enjoyed it.

A Turkey Croissant + A Bagel That Passed the Squish Test…read more Okay, let me tell y'all about this breakfast because I was having a whole conversation with myself I ordered the turkey croissant sandwich with jalapeños, lettuce, tomatoes, turkey, and cheese... and BABY, it was GOOD! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well put together. My husband got a breakfast sandwich on a bagel, and when he offered me a bite, I said, "Nope, that bagel probably hard." He said, "No, it's REALLY soft." So I squished it... and y'all... HE WAS RIGHT. That bagel was SO soft! My only little suggestion would be to spread the mayo directly on the bread instead of just having it between the egg and sausage, but honestly, that's a small thing because the food was delicious. Now let's talk about the service because WOW It was so prompt that I could barely get my thoughts together before the gentleman helping us was already answering my questions and getting us taken care of! He was very informative, friendly, and clearly knew the menu. And I LOVE the bright yellow uniforms the staff wear! You definitely can't miss them! The atmosphere is also super clean, bright, and inviting. There's a TV, a cute little bookshelf, and plenty of little touches that make the space feel welcoming. I did notice the sign about table games, though, so just a heads-up: don't bring your whole game night setup expecting this to be the spot. This feels much more like a place to grab some delicious food, enjoy the clean atmosphere, and relax for a bit. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend giving them a try! Great food, prompt and friendly service, a clean environment, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a spot worth supporting!

We stocked up (though I no longer seem to have a taste for the salted caramel flavor). I instead chose chocolate, vanilla, and cake batter frozen yogurt with chocolate chips, yogurt chips, chocolate sauce, chocolate turtles (no nuts), and crunched up chocolate candies. It was plenty and apparently healthy as it was frozen yogurt and not ice cream (or so I was told). The service was good. We really enjoyed learning about the promotions and the way that Zoyo engages within the community. For instance, Zoyo has been recognized with the Phoenix Magazine Best of the Valley for several years in a row. Every Zoyo app purchase gets you a chance to win a pair of tickets to a Diamondbacks game. Every Wednesday night is Pajama Wednesdays where you get 50% off your frozen yogurt when you come in wearing your PJs from 7 p.m. to close. This last one got my wife very excited! Yogurts include regular flavors (like Dutch Chocolate, Vanilla, Cake Batter, and Salted Caramel), seasonal flavors (like Pumpkin, Strawberry Lemonada Sorbet, and Apple Pie), flavors of the month (like Keylime Cheesecake and Shamrock Shake), and no sugar added flavors (like Strawberry no sugar added, Cheese Cake no sugar added, and Strawberry Banana no sugar added). Toppings include nuts, fruits, brownies, gummies, chocolate chips, sprinkles, cookies, cheesecake bites, candy, and much more. Grab-N-Go options include 12 prepackaged frozen yogurt options. The website is a great resource (https://zoyogurt.com). You can order online on the app or website or order catering. You can find the link for the app, where you earn points for every purchase redeemable for discounts on future purchases starting at 100 points. You earn 50 points just for signing up. The cashier told my wife and I that points earned previously from our phone number can carry over to the new program though that doesn't seem to be the case, which is disappointing.
