My husband and I recently become foster "parents" for the Great Dane Rescue Alliance. Our first…read moregreat dane came in the form of a 10 month old puppy - weighing 126lbs! He had a rough past, but came to us healthy and needing to be neutered before he was available for adoption. The Rescue Alliance uses Healing Hearts Mobile Vet Unit, which services animals from rescue groups and in low income areas. After calling several times I was able to take our great dane to their Mobile Vet Unit when they were in the East Valley to get neutered. I brought him in around 9:00am to a staff of 4 friendly women! They made me feel at ease. I got a call several hours later, letting me know he was ready to be picked up at noon. They helped me load him up and gave me plenty of instruction on his post surgical care. I really appreciate people that are able to help animals in need - so 5 stars for Healing Hearts!

I first discovered this incredible group back in January during one of their desert tours. I was so impressed by the enthusiasm, depth of knowledge, and the fascinating discoveries shared along the way that I knew I wanted more--so signing up for Talk & Taste was an easy decision. And it did not disappoint. What stood out most was how beautifully organized the entire experience was. At each stop, passionate volunteers shared unique edible desert delights--perfectly paired with just the right amount of information to spark curiosity and leave you wanting more. A heartfelt thank you to Mimi, Diane, Abby, and the many dedicated volunteers who make this "best kept secret" so special. If you're visiting the Valley--or even if you live here--make the trip to beautiful Cave Creek and experience the desert in a way you never have before. It's an experience you'll truly cherish.

This is the first time…read moreI had visited this location and similar to other outstanding locations in the valley, this location is very well organized, clean, and well lit. I mostly focus on men's clothing, including suits, shirts, ties, and belts, and this was a excellent location for those items. This Location had an abundance of really nice suits by some really top line brands. I'm talking about finding not one but two brand new 100% cashmere suits. They also had a top notch selection of sports coats including a seersucker that I was really torn about not taking with me. I've been looking for a full seersucker suit for a while and just haven't found it yet. They have the full array of both men's and women's clothing, housewares, sporting goods, kitchen wars, etc.. They also had some furniture items, including a couple of love seats and couches. This location also had more bikes and sporting equipment then I am used to seeing. I also did some shopping for my Lady and she joined me vía FaceTime. She found the shoe section to be really lacking. But again I think their inventory was pretty depleted from the 50% off sale. Also, I noticed that this location separates women's suits into blazers and pants vs other locations in the city group women's suits together where there are full sets available. This made it near impossible for me to shop for my significant other, but the women's clothing section is 2X, the men's clothing section. So ladies definitely will enjoy this one. Also, shout out to the management at this location, especially the Homie Rick. He helped me out by correcting a suit price that was initially priced as two separate pieces. I have had this happened to me quite a bit and I'm not complaining because I understand how hard it probably used to sort it through donated clothing and matchup suit pants with suit jackets but it is definitely appreciated when management goes the extra mile after I have already spent good time sorting through the pants to find the matching jacket!

Super glad that we stumbled upon 'The Joy Bus Diner'!!! Founded and operated by 'Chopped' champion…read moreChef Jennifer Caraway, this place lives up to her esteemed reputation! Since 2016, this non-profit diner has been directly supporting homebound cancer patients through sponsored meals. The menu is deep, and the food is incredible! And honestly, I feel confident with all of their options. The place was packed and everyone looked satisfied. I ordered the chilaquiles which were a delightful offering of crispy tortilla chips covered in earthy red chili, topped with a velvety poached egg, on a bed of hearty pinto beans that had a hint of cumin, all which was drizzled with a rich crema and crumbled queso fresco. My dad had the Rueben and he said it was in his top-three he's ever had! Even during the Saturday brunch rush we were seated promptly, the kitchen was swift and our waitress was kindly attentive to our needs. We will definitely be adding this fine establishment to our short list, and can see why this is a community staple.

A few years ago, we heard about The Joy Bus Diner and the amazing cause behind it. As my wife is a…read morecancer survivor, the idea of a charitable organization that provides food to cancer patients and their caregivers was of great interest to us. We finally decided to try the diner, and oh my goodness--this is no substandard food kitchen. This is top-notch food at reasonable prices and for a great cause. You can't go wrong! We arrived on a Sunday at their new location, which is super nice, VW bus and all. :) While relatively small, it is many times larger than their old location around the corner. You can sit inside at a table, at the bar, or at one of the few patio tables on a nice day. We sat inside for this first visit, and a friendly server took our order. We chose to order from the breakfast menu, and I ordered The Camper: Crispy double-dipped fried chicken thigh smothered in savory gravy and topped with cheese, three slices of Nueske's peppered bacon, and an over-easy egg, served on a housemade butter biscuit. My wife ordered the CSA Scramble: Farm-fresh veggies from Crooked Sky Farms CSA basket scrambled with three eggs, served with fruit, sliced tomato, and 9-grain toast. Needless to say, we were both impressed. The Camper was absolutely perfect. I would not change a thing. The gravy was just special, and there was so much food, I took some home. My wife's dish was fresh and perfect for what she was looking for. Do consider donating to this worthy cause. We chose to, and you can even donate right on your bill so that it goes right on your credit card if you so choose. But even if you just pay for your meal, you are helping out, which is so great about eating at this place. Do yourself a favor and stop in to see the friendly people at The Joy Bus Diner!
