I was…read moregreeted by Angelica from behind the counter who was extremely nice and explained everything to me, answering questions that I had. I asked about ordering a whole cake and she said this was done easily online and just give them 48 hours to prepare. They have a sale on day-old bread for 20% off, as well as fresh pastries, cakes, cookies, and other treats. Most breads and baguettes are made with a sourdough base. There's a large working kitchen off to the side and back. There are no restrooms in the bakery. The bakery is kind of tucked away in a secluded strip mall with a large private parking lot. Angelica says there is a farmers market here every Sunday and every weekend, a coffee cart is brought into the bakery so that you can enjoy hot drinks with your pastries. There are a few small patio tables in front of the store if you'd like to sit and enjoy your treats. I mentioned I needed something for lunch and Angelica recommended the ham and cheese pastry. I chose that and she asked if I'd like it heated. I took my pastry warmed up to go and also picked up an individual coffee cake and a four- pack of gourmet salt topped chocolate chip cookies for hubs, and a cheese danish for me for later. Angelica says the cheese danish is a very popular item here. I was very tempted to get the vanilla almond pastry as Angelica described the huckleberry sauce used. I'll have to come back next time to try that. There is a refrigerated grab and go case by the door with cake slices and cold beverages. I had such a pleasant first visit here. I found a spot near work to enjoy my ham and cheese pastry and oh my goodness, it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious with paper-thin, flaky, glazed pastry sheets, covered in melted cheese and rosemary, and stuffed with warmed diced ham slices. Nom nommm.

And the snacks and bread? Simply amazing! From flaky Persian bread to homemade cookies that taste like they came straight from grandma's kitchen, it's a real treat. The spice aisle is a dream for any home cook. Plus, they even have halal meat, including lamb head and lamb legs, for those adventurous enough to explore traditional recipes. On the flip side, the store could use a bit of sprucing up. Some shelves are a bit dusty, and a bit more organization would go a long way. And yes, the prices are a bit higher than what you'd find at other supermarkets, sometimes even double, especially for snacks and baked goods. Staff were very welcoming and friendly.

**July 2026: Thursday Afternoon Visit**…read more My friend and I were visiting Phoenix during a 110-degree heat wave and desperately needed something to cool us down, so I went searching and came across Sphinx Date Co Palm & Pantry. The date milkshake sounded too good to pass up, so my friend and I made the drive out to Scottsdale for a little afternoon treat--and it was absolutely worth it. As soon as we walked in, the shop owner was incredibly warm and welcoming. She offered us a sample of a Medjool date, and wow--it was plump, rich, and had this deep caramel-like sweetness that instantly sold me. You can really taste the quality. We each ordered a large date milkshake, and it was everything I hoped for. It tasted clean and simple in the best way--like it's made with just dates, milk, and ice cream (which is typically what a classic date shake includes). It was creamy, naturally sweet, and super refreshing in the Arizona heat. I also loved that the store carries a variety of Arizona-made local products, which made souvenir shopping so easy. They had everything from BBQ sauce and hot sauce to wines and cactus candy. I ended up picking up a few sauces and some jumbo Medjool dates to bring home as gifts. The owner also shared that they carry different types of dates depending on the season. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try their Sphinx dates, which she described as having a thinner skin and a more honey-like flavor--apparently available in late summer. Overall, I really loved this shop, its mission, and the quality of its products. This is definitely a spot you'll want to bookmark for your next Phoenix trip.

It was held at the Scottsdale Civic Center, which, if you have been to the area, you know there isn't that much shade. On a warm 93°F day, this could be a problem. Wear a hat, slather on some sunblock, and bring some water! The Merchantile Market is a free event, and there are more than 100 local vendors you can support. The full list is on their website, and you can see when their next event is. Last month's theme was Boots & Blossoms. This is a fun event, but I do wish they had more beverage vendors. It would have made the event a little more bearable. It's dog-friendly, family-friendly, and don't forget to bring your appetite and wallet. There are so many great things for you to buy!

Yeah I think your security guard either lying about a tow truck or actually calling one is actually a big deal. Holy crap. Way too over priced to deal with this hassle. They also have no idea what a nicoise salad is. And the manager was gossiping with an employee about me which made it so obvious because she was staring me down from over the counter. I'm literally just trying to grab a meal to go. Absolutely insane. Burger was okay. Truly not worth the experience.
