    Large decaf iced latte
    Josh F.

    The Inner Circle Cafe is a great little place to get a breakfast burrito, a large decaf iced latte or a cold or hot sandwich. Their avocado toast is so good! Great service and nice little ambiance. I'd come here all the time if I lived in the area for the coffee alone.

    Visiting Scottsdale for a bachelorette , and we decided to stop by here for breakfast and coffee to go ! The place is spacious and clean , the staff was very friendly and patient when we were all ordering ! I ordered the Mexican chocolate latte iced ! Which was good but honestly when I saw her make it I was extremely disappointed and upset. She put the expresso on top like a macchiato which is fine but then obviously put to much ice for the lid to close so she went to scoop it out and basically scooped out the express (the main ingredient of a latte) which was very very upsetting to see especially since that's the whole point of a latte!! Anyways then I got the sandwich which had egg, avocado , Arugula , and cheese which was definitely preeety yummy ! I would get that again but i wouldn't get the latte again being that the barista doesn't seem to care about how it's made !

    I love coming here after yoga for coffee or brunch! They recently started doing a mystery drink of the week. You get three tries to name what's in the drink. If you guess right, you get a free drink. My friend and I did not guess right, but it was still a really delicious drink that ended up having pumpkin and raspberry! The breakfast burrito is always incredible too! You gotta come by this place!

    Intimate coffee shop that is mom and pap. They serve salads, sandwiches, and typical coffee shop bakery. I only had a brew coffee and it was pretty good. They also give free refills on that. Price is reasonable. My business meeting had a tuna salad. It's seems very fresh and good. The tune does not smell from what I can tell. The service came out fast as well.

    I've been here several times and love this place! The first time I came here, I really enjoyed it and remember sitting outside and the woman next to our table had her food quickly eaten by a dog that was passing by! It was really kind of adorable that the dog did that but the owner was pretty embarrassed and bought the woman a second meal (as he should have), she wasn't too upset by it, I remember the dog was super friendly, big and well hungry haha. The several other times I have been here were to meet friends and it's always a nice time. The staff are always helpful and this is like a coffee shop where you can hang out for hours, love it. This time I was here I had one of their breakfast sandwiches with egg, cheese, arugula and your choice of protein, I chose sausage. I had the chipotle mayo on the side. And for the holidays, they have a peppermint bark latte and that was great! I love peppermint this time of year (and basically year round). They even have a fireplace going on a TV screen, I love that! The parking lot is always a situation, and often times hard to get a spot. I blame the hot yoga studio in this plaza, which seems to always be bustling. Once classes are over, the parking lot is empty! This is a great place to meet up with friends and unwind.

    Such great coffee and flavors! I love the breakfast sandwich! It is such a cute cafe and a great place to relax! I will be returning for another greatly crafted coffee.

    Best lunch/breakfast spot in the area. I am very picky when it comes to fresh, healthy food and inner circle does it right everytime. I'm also a coffee / chai connoisseur and they have the best! Never burnt espresso, always smooth and amazing. Everything on the menu is great, salads, burritos, sandwiches. I pick up a dirty chai and overnight oats on the daily and I have never had a bad experience with the food/drinks. I love the environment very chill, they take care of the beautiful plants soooo well! The staff is very kind, always makes a great start to my day. I really appreciate everything you guys do! I recommend this spot to anyone who loves tea/coffee and fresh, healthy food!

    I've been slacking on my yelps apparently lol. I come here all the time and never rated it... it's an awesome cafe next to my favorite hot yoga studio. Inner Circle has really tasty food and drinks. Today I tried the drink of the week, the Dulce De Leche latte which I would expect is pretty sweet. The friendly barista working agreed and suggested half sweet and we can always add more if needed. This is a very chill local spot. I've come post yoga, during a bike ride, and on many occasions to do a little work, as there is good amount of seating available. Highly recommend checking out this place for good, tasty and healthy foods. They make their dishes in house and it's most breakfast and lunch items given it's a cafe. I thought I had more pictures but I can't fine them, so I'll update my post with more during future visits :)

    This is one of my closest coffee shops so I keep finding myself back here. I've tried the avocado toast and the breakfast burrito as well as their coffee and Mexican coffee. It's just not my flavors. The burritos have a sweet potato bean mash that makes it more sweet. The avocado toast is good but more like an appetizer with no fried egg. The lattes are usually mostly milk little coffee. Inside it always smells like they are brewing some kind of herbal drink and it's a little humid. Overall just not my go to coffee place. It is the closest to discount tires, so it's a decent place to wait while your tires get fixed.

    Amazing! I have been looking for an affordable coffee spot with lots of seating options for a while now and I think Inner Circle might have just hit the spot. I tried the Vanilla Latte and it was the best latte yet (I like my drinks sweet). And for the size, the cost was perfect. The inside had a lot of seating options and 2 tables outside. A cute artsy vibe all around. Very clean and well kept. I will definitely be back :).

    First time trying this location, and I'll be back anytime I'm near! Super cute spot that also serves breakfast. Quick and friendly baristas working their butts off. The coffee is delicious. I got the vanilla rose latte and it was the perfect balance. Not too much rose. Just a hint so it's not like you're sucking on a bar of soap. You can tell the coffee is quality.

    Did you close down? I can't find it.

    Still here.. we are right between Markit Media and On the Rocks.

    Do they offer gluten free bread?

    Hi! We do not have gluten free bread at this time. We do offer many salads and hummus and brie plates. Those can be served with rice crackers or extra veggies upon request. Thank you so much for asking

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.

I also had a bite of the honey jalapeño chicken sandwich, juicy and spicy sweet. The overall aesthetic is very coastal Hamptons with a relaxed, beachy vibe that feels both stylish and comfortable. Service was great throughout, and a nice bonus is their all day happy hour on Mondays.

We kicked things off with a complimentary prickly pear vodka cocktail (delicious) paired with a comp app -- looks like they rotate these, and I got hummus with crudite and crackers. During the meal, there were 2 standout dishes that made this memorable. - Hamachi Crudo: THE BEST crudo I have ever had. They switch up the dressing regularly, but whatever they put on mine was unforgettable - 10 oz Wagyu Strip: solid steak, but nothing "Wagyu" tasting. It didn't have that melt-in-your-mouth fatty richness I was hoping for from wagyu and was slightly chewy. - Scallops: tender! - Asparagus: came with a creamy sauce which was a great touch - Chocolate Espresso Mousse Cake: MAGICAL. Layered, with crunchy pralines and vanilla ice cream. If you've had the chocolate hazelnut cake at Carbone, this gave me major similar vibes... that good! Will absolutely be back to try a different cut of steak and also the loaded baked potato. The ambience alone is worth the trip, but the crudo and that cake are what's going to stick with me.

If I had one minor critique, it would be the king crab legs. They are char-grilled, which gives them a smoky flavor that wasn't quite our personal preference. That said, the quality of the crab itself was excellent, and it's more a matter of taste than a criticism of the preparation. The atmosphere made for a perfect birthday dinner--upscale, energetic, and memorable without feeling stuffy. Combined with outstanding food and attentive service, it made for a special evening that my wife and I won't forget.
