    Chef owned neighborhood coffee shop in a popular plaza. Grab a coffee & pastry or stay for cafe breakfast or lunch. Chill and friendly.

    I stopped by for a quick coffee and snack. It was delicious and the girl working was super friendly. It was the perfect place to sit for a bit before exploring.

    That's the tagline for @curate_cafe in North Scottsdale. Joseph Lerner is an award winning private chef who is now the chef and owner of this cafe located on Scottsdale and Grayhawk. They roast their coffee right in-house and serve up scratch kitchen deliciousness. Even the beautiful wood-top tables are all handmade by curate! So, you can pick up a court and pastry and even order a custom table or charcuterie board. That's a great local small business.

    Soft scramble on brioche

    My wife and I visiting Scottsdale and we found Curate Cafe on yelp and picked for its high ratings. It did not disappoint! Everything about the food from the handmade pumpkin spice in the oat latte to the breakfast croissant and the soft scramble brioche were elevated "curated" experiences. The day before I came and had the green chilaquiles frittata which was an elevated take on the traditional breakfast favorite. The servers were all very kind and courteous and the service was quick and the food presentation was minimalistic and on point. The tables are imported live edge wood and add a nice touch to the leather comfortable chairs. Everything was clean and tasteful decorated - love the vibe. Best of all we met the owner and chef Joey who struck me as a humble guy who takes pride in his craft and it shines through in his food. Well done!!! We will be back!!

    Curate Cafe just might be my new go-to coffee spot in North Scottsdale! Coffee roasted in-house - check Aesthetic on point - check Phenomenal unique breakfast - check Lattes much better than I can make - check What's not to love? Curate Cafe is one of the newer coffee spots in North Scottsdale. After seeing them mentioned on TikTok I had to stop in. I got an iced vanilla latte and breakfast sandwich and was very pleased! They have a variety of breakfast options (fresh pastries, breakfast sandos, and more). Customer service was incredible. Everyone was friendly and they even brought us water to our table as we waited for coffee and food. We met the Chef/Owner Joseph who genuinely was nice and asked us for feedback. He told us a bit more about how they roast in-house and how he built the tables and worked on decorations. Give Curate Cafe a visit! You won't be disappointed!

    Beautiful hand hewn tables

    This is a great place to grab a coffee and relax. It is tucked between Chipotle and Pei Wei. Joe the owner is hands on taking order and present. Upon entry we were warmly greeted and provided info to counter order and food would delivered to our selected tables. Tables were created by the owner and are gorgeous! We tried a caramel macchiato- perfect and a Latte. There were several options on milk beyond the usual almond and soy. We had the kale chicken soup. It was full of veggies in a rich chicken broth. We tried the bruschetta- it was wonderful with the arugula tossed in a vinegarette with a sprinkle of orange olive oil ... really great flavors. Next we tried the Merica sandwich. Lightly grilled with turkey and sliced cheese. The pastries are made in house. The coffee is roasted and ground in house.

    vanilla oat milk matcha

    Tried Curate Cafe out today, and this might become a new matcha lunch break stop! I got the vanilla oat milk matcha which was DELICIOUS and my friend got the peaches matcha and said great things about it! Super cute on the inside and is perfect for hanging out and catching up with a friend.

    What an amazing spot! Just got coffee and a little treat! The cupcake was great and the coffee was delicious too! They have a whole food menu too and catering available I believe! Definitely will come back, the employees were extremely friendly and the service was great! Also the cafe was super clean and had such a great modern look! Definitely will be back

    Mocha coffee and grilled ham & cheese with a touch of raspberry jam.

    No wonder it's so highly rated. Stopped here for lunch when working near by, and it was so delicious. A bit hard to find between Pei Wei and Chipotle, but well worth going around the building twice to find it. A gem.

    Chorizo quesadilla
    Abigail V.

    Finally a relaxing original coffee place in north Scottsdale!. I had the egg chorizo quesadilla and it was delicious. The coffee as well exceeded my expectations. I prefer more light sweetened drinks. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to be back.

    I've seen so many businesses come and go from this spot, hope this one sticks around! Came here this morning for a coffee, it is super cute and clean. Would be an awesome place to come do some work. I got a cold brew with coconut and oat milk for me and a chocolate chip cookie for my husband. The cold brew was good but next time I'd ask for a little less milk! It's on the expensive side too, but nothing extreme for the north Scottsdale area. Would stop by again! No complaints with service, barista was nice and got my drink out quickly!

I am very gluten sensitive and wasn't sure what would be safe to order and it's very rare to begin with finding a place that advertises catering to such dietary restrictions. But Michelle -- the owner -- personally came over and took the time to guide me through the menu. Her warmth, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm for accommodating gluten sensitivities immediately put me at ease. We both decided on the cinnamon roll, and honestly, it was the best pastry we've ever had. You can truly taste the difference in baked goods that are made fresh daily and never left sitting around -- the quality and care shine through in every bite. What meant the most to us was how Michelle came back to our table just to connect and chat. That kind of personal attention makes you feel less like a customer and more like part of the community. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Beg Bakery. This is the kind of small business that deserves to be celebrated and supported. We'll absolutely be back again and again as well as send all of our family and friends here!

When we got there they were freshly loading the cupcakes into the display area. The cupcakes are very dense. Great for sharing. It did cost about $6 a cupcake.

The staff didn't make excuses. They owned it immediately, were incredibly genuine, attentive, and went above and beyond to turn things around. By the end of the meal, not only were we glad we stayed, but it became one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had in a long time. The biggest reason for that was our waiter, Cru. Absolute professional. Personable, attentive, thoughtful, and somehow managed to make us feel like we were the only table in the restaurant despite how busy things were. Great service is easy when everything runs perfectly, but it's worth acknowledging that what Cru did was much harder. He completely changed the energy of the night through pure hospitality and effort. On top of that, his recommendations for food were spot on and exceeded our expectations. The food was outstanding, atmosphere was great, but the way the team handled adversity and recovered is what deserves recognition. Mistakes happen anywhere. The response is what matters, and this restaurant absolutely delivered. Cru deserves all the credit in the world. As well as the entire staff and management. I will be back, without a doubt.
