    Best local spot in town to get coffee. Not only top notch coffee but supporting small local businesses is what it's all about.

    The best chai tea I've ever had. I went here daily while in Sedona, it was that good!

    Absolutely delicious Chai. We ordered a traditional with no sugar and a couple of dirty. If I…read morelived here, I would have one every day! Space is also very near to explore. Please come and create your own adventure.

    This was such a unique, lively and colorful place! It fully showcased Pakistani culture and I loved…read moreit. I felt like I was transported to Pakistan the moment I stepped into The Chai Spot. Aside from the tea, they also sold all kinds of goodies--from traditional dresses to books to little trinkets--which I later found out that 70% of the products they sold here were handmade by their rural women & men. There was just so much to explore that my eyes and my heart were full and I haven't even had their teas yet. Another couple of things I found out later on while I indulged myself in more chai than I probably should have and scrolled through their website: (1) half of their profit goes to support women and children in Pakistan, and (2) this place is a "social-enterprise dedicated to peace-building and socio-economic empowerment of women and children in Pakistan." With that, truly, my heart and my belly could not be fuller and I'm so glad I made a point to visit this place at Tlaquepaque! There were some tables and chairs, as well as area rugs where groups sat crisscross applesauce, outside the store on the terrace since they're located on the second floor. They also had a few of these super charming balconies you can hang out and sip your drink at. If you're not in a rush, I think staying and having your tea there completes the whole experience. What we tried: Butter Chai - 5/5 Traditional Cardamom -4/5 Iced Black - 4/5 From the three drinks we got, my ultimate favorite was the Butter Chai. Apparently, they don't consider this as their best seller, but I have seen so many people rave about this particular drink and I couldn't be happier that I went for it. It was the perfect symphony of sweet and creamy with the spices not being too overwhelming. I didn't know that it came with some toppings of crushed pistachios too, but they make sure to ask if you're okay with that when you order. Overall, this one's quite a special place. If you get a chance to stroll around the Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, I highly recommend you stop by here!

    Just finished two scoops of their ice cream. What a positive experience from start to finish…read more The service was delivered with smiles, and the ice cream was creamy and delicious. Will go again before we leave. Many thanks!!

    I was really excited to finally try Rocky Rd's Ice Cream Parlor after driving by it several times…read more I'm a big fan of local creameries, especially when traveling, and I always enjoy sampling flavors before deciding which will be the winning scoops. I ended up choosing the rocky road. It was good overall, with a generous amount of marshmallows and chopped almonds, but the texture was a bit too soft for my liking. The small bits of chopped almonds just added to my dissatisfaction of the texture. While the taste was enjoyable, it wasn't something I'd go out of my way to get again especially since I was treated rudely. Unfortunately, what really turned me off was the service. While I was waiting for my waffle cone, my son was trying a few flavors and really liked one with Butterfinger bits. He asked me to get a sample so I can try how good it is. The young woman helping us (with blondish-red hair) clearly noticed we had already ordered and responded with a rude, dismissive look. She handed me the sample and said, "I need to take care of these other customers," in a tone that made us feel like we were an inconvenience. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary. Sampling is a normal part of the experience at ice cream shops, and the interaction felt unwelcoming. Because of that experience, I didn't recommend this place to others in my group, and I wouldn't return. I would have been happier with a soft serve cone at the Sedona McDonald's!

    What a rude service!! Never coming back here again…read more The lady working came after me outside after I told her I was done talking to her. She has customers waiting and came outside . Wow Here is what happened Last year we had a great experience coming to this ice cream shop. And the reason why we came back is because they had this delicious vegan option. So we made this trip special to come to the shop. So the only two vegan options they had today was two different types of sorbets. And then I asked that last time I was here I was given a chocolate option. She said no these are the only two options and then the owner was there. She said I've never made anything else here. So then I thought about it and I looked through my pictures and I saw that in my cup I had a dark chocolate in my cup. So I went back inside and I said oh my gosh I'm so sorry I made a mistake. You're right I didn't have a vegan ice cream that was not a sorbet. It was like a chocolate cake because I remember someone offered me that the only vegan thing that they have here is a chocolate cake and then this lady that's working here totally cut me off and said "no!! The owner has only made these two vegan options! There is no other option!" She didn't let me talk and she was so rude ! So I left as this lady was not going to have a normal conversation with me so I told her why do you have to rude and went outside . She then ran outside and yelled at mez That is SO UNPROFESSIONAL and rude.

    This place is phenomenal. I'm gluten-free and lactose intolerant and I couldn't believe I found…read morethis hidden gem. They don't only have some of the most delicious, moist gluten-free 'bagels,' (which are more like whole wheat buns and are delicious, so good toasted or fresh) but they also fresh bake a ridiculously broad range of sweet cakes and pastries, including this divine peanut butter pie, which, straight out of the fridge tastes like creamed peanut butter fudge atop an almost chewy, lightly crunchy, chocolate biscuit base. They also make amazing cakes to order and carry great trail snacks like maple sweetened cookies and picnic favorites like their delicious vegan GF quiche (which even has my mum's stamp of approval and she is the quiche queen), Service is personal and friendly, there are seats there both indooor and out, but it's a very popular take out spot. Get there in the morning for the bagels, they have cakes and delicacies available all day long. This is a great 'small business' to support, we are lucky to have it in West Sedona. I absolutely LOVE this place.

    I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile and just never hit it when it was open…read more Yesterday was my lucky day. My husband and I both got a cupcake. He got the hostess chocolate one and I got carrot cake. I love how everything is gluten free and most everything was also dairy free. The cupcakes were delicious and not dry. Only downside is the cupcakes were pretty pricey especially for the size (I think part of this is just Sedona in general). The decor could use an upgrade as it was quite cluttered and just looked messy and not professional. Otherwise, great place!
