There are many places to get your caffeine fix in Scottsdale to help you wake up early in the morning, stay up late at night to hit the town, or get a midday pick me up so you can continue walking around the beautiful city. We know that traveling can be tiring, but we think stopping at cute cafes and coffee shops is the best way to stay energetic and ready to see even more.
Not sure where to start? We have included a list of the top coffee shops in Scottsdale that you may or may not have heard of before. This comprehensive list includes laid-back cafes, cool coffee stores, and shops with outdoor seating that lets you soak in the beautiful Arizona sunshine all year round.
Berdena’s
If you haven’t heard of Berdena’s, then you haven’t talked to locals in Scottsdale yet. This coffee shop in Old Town Scottsdale is located on Missouri Avenue. It features tons of coffee drinks, chai beverages, cold brew coffee, matcha lattes, and much more. Even if you are not in the mood for a coffee drink, the extensive menu is sure to have something that meets your fancy.
We love the typical drinks, like the tasty drip coffee for a simple option, cappuccino for a frothy milk beverage, cold brew to help you wake up early in the morning, and a matcha latte that gives you clean energy with grown tea leaves. Pair any of these hot or cold beverages with a breakfast plate to get your day started on the right foot.
Personally, we love the avocado toast with lemon, flaky sea salt, and red pepper flakes on crunchy sourdough bread. Or try the filling breakfast sandwich with hand-carved ham, fried egg, cheddar, arugula, tomato, avocado, and house-made aioli on a buttery brioche bun. If you are heading out for a tiring hike, grab one of the pastries, like the cinnamon roll or scone, to put in your backpack.
Mythical Coffee
As soon as you walk into this charming and minimalist coffee shop, you will love the industrial vibes, cool coffee drinks, and unique roastery in the heart of Scottsdale. We love the different drinks, like the vanilla mint nitro coffee or the bourbon caramel latte that makes you feel slightly naughty as you sip on this in the morning.
When you see the rest of the menu, you will understand why this is a must-visit for most people who are visiting Scottsdale in the summer or winter. The winter menu includes sugary and sweet drinks that are great for a midday treat, like the banana pudding latte, sage honey latte, or the sugar cookie latte with sprinkles on top.
To cool off on a hot summer day, we love the minty mocha with sprinkles on the side, orange ginger espresso tonic to feel a little bit healthy, or the chai latte in a tall cup with tons of ice. Pair any of these drinks with one of their breakfast dishes or to-go options, like the chocolate cherry overnight oats, classic avocado toast with red pepper flakes, or maple donuts.
Fourtillfour
Fourtillfour is well-known across Arizona for its dedication to bringing the old-school vibe of making coffee back to the mainstream. Since they opened almost 20 years ago, the owners here have really focused on combining car culture with old-school coffee methods, community events, and social media.
Not only can you get great coffee here, but coming here is more of an experience. You can visit their shop and purchase cool t-shirts to bring home as souvenirs, find tote bags to purchase your groceries, or buy one of their snapback hats to keep the strong sunshine off your face.
And when it is finally time to order your drink and food, you will be blown away by the simplicity of the menu coupled with top-tier ingredients. We recommend ordering one of the typical coffee drinks, like a macchiato, cappuccino, latte, or mocha, with your choice of whole, half, and half, almond, or oat milk.
Pair any one of these hot or iced drinks with a daily assorted pastry to create a filling and easy breakfast. There are also dozens of gluten-free baked goods available for your celiac friends who want to enjoy a chocolate croissant or muffin!
Regroup Coffee + Bicycles
Arizona has dozens of outdoor activities that bring the community together. We love how there are coffee shops, restaurants, and bars that focus on community events and fun things to do. One of the leaders of the pack is the Regroup Coffee + Bicycles shop that churns out some of the top bikes in the world – along with some of the best coffee in the city.
Head here any time of the day to go shopping in the store and find some items for your bike, apparel to bring back home as a gift, or stylish clothing to wear during your vacation in Scottsdale.
It is time to get a coffee after shopping around in the store and the bike shop. Not sure what to get? We love the small cortado with your choice of milk for a strong, espresso-filled drink to help you wake up early in the morning. Or try the Slayer shake with almond butter, banana, cold brew, organic plant-based protein, and collagen peptides for a healthy snack during the day.
Other popular items sold here include toast with noble country bread, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a balsamic drizzle for something a little bit savory. Pair the avo toast with a macchiato or drip coffee for a filling and healthy breakfast that will give you tons of energy for the rest of the day.
