    Was looking for a good spot for a coffee date with a friend in Uptown and found Cartel Roasting. The shop itself is very small, it can maybe set no more than 8 people inside, but also has seating outside. The space is clean and well maintained with a easy to read menu. I ordered their Autumn Matcha and loved the unique flavoring. Prices were reasonable, the staff were kind and service was speedy.

    I was not very impressed by this coffee shop. It's tucked next to Lylo Swim Club so you park in the back and then walk towards the street. It's a little tricky to find the first time. I got a small iced americano and a French toast muffin - both cost $5 each which felt a little on the higher end for the size and quality. The texture and flavor of the muffin really fell flat for me; I can bake a better muffin. The aesthetic inside the coffee shop is cute and modern, but there's very limited searing and there is not a bathroom inside. The service was ok.

    Lovely little shop. I love their dirty chai. Yes it is a quaint space but the product is worth it.

    Nestled by the Lylo Swin Club is this cute and quaint Cartel Roasting location. This is more of a grab and go location as there is minimal seating. They had some delicious looking pastries, but my Yelp bestie and I stuck to coffee as we had just eaten at Lylo Swim Club. Loved the cortado for a pick me up. If you need to use the restroom, you will need to let the barista know as they share the bathroom located in the pool area. The barista will open the gate for you to walk in.

    Stopped in for a quick pick me up after lounging at the bar next door. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered a small iced vanilla latte ($6.00 + $0.75 for vanilla). It was good but not my favorite tasting latte. Love the vibes of the coffee shop. Comfortable seating and good tunes. Prepackaged food items as well as beans for purchase. Parking is a little tricky as it appears it's shared with the hotel and surrounding businesses and the parking lot is quite tight. The coffee shop is tucked away but has clear signs to show where to go to get your caffeine fix!

    Cartel Roasting Company has a relaxing, cool vibe. Very friendly staff. And I enjoyed an artful and delicious cappuccino and espresso. Who could ask for anything more?

    Cartel is my favorite coffee shop in the valley. This shop is one of the closest to me so I frequent this one the most, although there are many more around the valley. I will only buy my beans from Cartel. They have a wide variety of roast flavors and all are great. Their coffees are delicious and they have pastries and burritos available too. This specific location is a bit smaller and harder to get to as its next to Rise Uptown and on a main street but always worth a stop in. Quick, friendly service and cute shop!

    I was staying at Rise and wanted to get coffee since they do not offer coffee. A few things to note: only 1 size of coffee, they only pull double shots, and limited seating. My first impression was that it was small but nice vibe. The menu on the wall does not provide a lot of detail but they do have a paper menu. No smiles, unwelcoming, and just rude when I ordered incorrectly or miscommunication. I will not be going back. I'll find another place. I didn't even feel comfortable enough to take pictures inside. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere. Also the coffee was biter. I'm from PNW and I know coffee. (Danish was not warm & stale)

    Good service but the coffee was a big disappointment. Tasted more like mushroom tea than coffee. Prices are high and sizes are small. Overall, skip this stop

    Tasty. But too PRICEY. Two potato small burritos, two lattes and it was 35$ The only reason I come here is because I stay at Rise Uptown Hotel often and they are connected. You can enter this coffee shop from the rooms at the hotel, the hotel pool, or off the main road. Staff is not very helpful when it comes to suggestions and they seem snobby to a degree, prob because they are a little bougie compared to other coffee shops, lots of different types of drip coffee and items to purchase. They have a cute little bar seating inside the pool area for the hotel with a large window to pick up coffee order. Overall the coffee is tasty. Burritos not so much. I'll only go when I stay at the hotel. I took 2 stars because it was OVERPRICED.

    I loved that this cute little coffee spot was by my hotel. I loved waking up early to grab my coffee and enjoy the early mornings. My vanilla latte was pretty good but the other coffee options were not good quality. I do however love the caramel banana bread So delicious. If they had better beans I think it would taste so much better but overall it was okay.

    Lara C.

    Not my favorite flavor of beans, their coffee is a bit bitter but conveniently located near the hotel. It's a tiny shop and clean with limited seating but employees aren't very welcoming or friendly.

    The cost of a Latte with Almond milk. I didn't even tip the girl because it was ridiculously expensive.

I got the peach cobbler cupcake, which was almost $7, and for that price I was definitely expecting more. The texture was honestly so strange. The outside was dry and crumbly, while the inside had this really dense, gummy/doughy texture. Somehow it was dry and doughy at the same time. There were actual pieces of peach in it, but I could barely taste any peach flavor. Overall, it just didn't have much flavor at all. I'm not sure if it was specifically the flavor I chose or if it's because I'm not really used to vegan baked goods. I can definitely appreciate that they offer options for people who are vegan, have allergies, or have certain dietary restrictions and still want to satisfy their sweet tooth. But for me personally, the taste and quality just didn't justify paying almost $7 for one cupcake. The customer service didn't really help the experience either. Since it was my first time, I asked the girl at the front what their best sellers were and what she recommended. I was genuinely trying to make conversation and get some guidance on what I should try, but she wasn't very helpful or engaging. It honestly felt like I was talking to a wall. Overall, it's a cute spot and I appreciate what they offer for people with dietary restrictions, but between the price, texture, lack of flavor, and customer service, it just wasn't for me.

In our day's Sunnyslope business, our niece took us to Kris Frybread. Arriving we saw Dawn's. She said Dawn's gets high ratings too. After our excellent Kris meal I made my way to Dawn's. I am infamous in the family for my dessert rxtravagance. But I share with all at our table. Take your choice! Our niece got cannoli, I got lidded shortbread custard cups, vanilla and almond. Sweet D got a cherry and an apple turnover delivered into the box. It is five days later. My sugar intake has dropped a lot. In our home baking we cut sugar ingredients by half. Older Hopi bakers put in enough sugar for a hint of sweet in their cookies. Modern bakers glaze them. I'll take those traditional ones. When I say the shortbread cup with custard was too sweet for me, that's my 21st century palate speaking. The almond cup was a buy-again item for me, still sweet, very almond. The cherry turnover was flaky, the filling tart, oozing fillng and cherries. The gold medal, blue ribbon "I'd buy this again, for sure is the apple turnover. We will return for some more flaky, apple-y goodness. The webpage makes mymouth water. I see many items are normal and mini sized. Great idea Dawn.

The aroma alone is worth the visit; it wraps around you the second you step through the door and feels like a warm welcome.

A true neighborhood gem that makes indulgence feel justified.

    After a wonderful meal next door at The Sicilian Butcher, our waiter suggested some dessert, but…read morelittle did I know they had a whole bakery connected to the restaurant. I can't speak on the customer service as we never left our table and our waited just walked over and got what we needed. We were pretty stuffed from our massive meal, but we decided on sharing a cup of gelato just to satisfy our sweet tooth. I peeked inside as our table was right at a little walkway from the restaurant to the bakery. Gelato is just one of many things they serve here. They also have all your typical Italian desserts. Cakes like tiramisu, pastries like Italian flag cookies, cookies like Italian wedding cookies, cannolis of different varieties, and of course gelato. What was suggested to us if we wanted gelato was the hazelnut flavor. I was expecting a little cup for the 6 of us just to get a taste, but what he brought over was a massive serving. I don't know how many scoops it was or even how much we even paid, but we all got plenty with some even left behind. Now this gelato was life changing. Probably the best I've had in the states. I know it's gotta be way better in Italy, but I'll take what I can when I can. Think of a Ferrero Rocher but in gelato form. It was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a little crunch with bits of chocolate and hazelnuts. My sweet tooth was extremely satisfied after having dessert here. I have literally been thinking about that gelato since I left Phoenix. Luckily this company has locations in Texas so I will definitely be seeking out this gelato soon.

We've worked our way through what feels like almost the entire dessert case over the years, and I can honestly say I've yet to find something I didn't love. Every pastry is beautifully crafted, incredibly fresh, and tastes like it was made with so much care. This visit was all about the cannoli, and let me just say... craving officially satisfied! The shell had that perfect crisp snap, while the filling was silky, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. It was everything I had been dreaming about and then some. Walking into The Sicilian Baker always feels like stepping into a little slice of Italy. Between the gorgeous display of desserts and the irresistible aroma of fresh pastries, it's nearly impossible to leave with just one treat (don't say I didn't warn you! ). Whether you're stopping in for a post-dinner dessert, celebrating something special, or simply giving in to a sweet tooth like I did, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Every dessert we've tried has been phenomenal, and this cannoli was another delicious reminder of why we keep coming back. Sweet craving? Check. Happiness? Double check.
