Found this place on yelp and decided to stop by for some breakfast, walked in to a nice atmosphere with great decor, it was almost full but still nice and calm. We ordered our sandwich and a mocha and took a seat. When my coffee was done, nothing but better news as it tasted amazing and the barista was a nice and friendly guy. As was our breakfast sandwich on croissant! But the problems lies with the manager/server. At no point were we greeted or acknowledged in anyway, until he wanted our table! He got up from his empty 6 chair table where he was on Facebook to hover around our 2 chair table to talk loudly about how they are going to use our table, we got the point after hearing it indirectly three times and left, hopefully they take some courses in customer service so we can give it another shot read more

I went here today for my morning latte. I order a hot dirty chai latte and payed $4.80 for it. I left and started drinking my latte what was just lukewarm and had no espresso in it. Well a dirty chai latte is a chai latte with a espresso shot!!!! My drink went into the trash! What a waist of money and disappointment! read more

Have tried this place twice, probably won't return until they work out the kinks. The menu in the wall is big so you can't miss it. The problem is that it's only a part of what they offer. Their REAL menu is on the counter by the cash register and if you're lucky you'll notice it on your own because they don't draw your attention to it. There was only one counter menu and when I asked for another I was given an 'old' menu with different prices and food choices. What? It took way too long to get our food and it wasn't hot when it finally arrived. The owners seem not interested to correct these easily correctable situations. read more

This is slowly becoming my new favorite coffee shop. I have been here several times now and every time the service has been quick and friendly. I am always welcomed with a smile/greeting and a "have a nice day" as I'm leaving. On Sundays, they have open mic from 2-4pm. Normally, it's just a guy on guitar but once there was a man playing Pink Floyd on the piano. I have been back a few times in hopes of the piano man, but no luck. My go to drink is an iced vanilla latte. The vanilla, espresso, and milk all blend together to make an amazing drink. The espresso isn't bitter but smooth and stands out nicely. They blend their own beans, so be prepared to be impressed. My husband recently tried a blended peach black tea and it was delicious. It was both sweet and smooth with the tea flavor. It tasted really good on a hot day! They also have blended green tea, so I'll have to try that next time. They have a menu of items - both breakfast and lunch. They also have a pastry case filled with rotating items - cookies, muffins, cupcakes, etc. I'm not sure if the pastry items are made in house or not. I haven't asked and haven't seen a sign. One time, I split a blueberry muffin with my husband. It was delicious - it was moist with a good streusel crumble on top and had a lot of blueberries. Another time, I tried a chocolate cupcake with espresso cream cheese frosting. The cupcake itself was decadent - both moist and chocolatey. The frosting was good but I didn't really taste the espresso. The cream cheese really stuck out. However, I'd order it again. Finally, I've also tried a chocolate chip cookie. Which surprisingly, I did not like. It looked super puffy and inviting, but didn't deliver. The cookie itself was dry and kind of tasteless. Otherwise, all of their other pastry case items look delicious and I'll probably try one of everything eventually. In addition to their amazing drinks and pastries, they have a wonderful outside patio with plenty of shade and seating. The patio overlooks the nearby lake, where I've seen a lot of wildlife. I love coming here. My husband and I have made weekly dates to stop by, grab a drink, and sit on the patio. I would highly recommend this place as a date spot, a hangout with friends, or just a place to grab a quick coffee. I will definitely be back. read more

This roaster and coffee shop is a fantastic addition to the coffee scene in Scottsdale. As I write this I'm savoring a cup of Rwandan coffee from beans roasted just two days ago. Roast is much lighter than what is common these days and I appreciate the flavors that are brought out because of it. They roast their own beans on site and have a beautiful, newly built shop that is very bright with an abundance of natural light, very clean, and accompanied by warm & friendly service. Espresso is among the best in the valley, and I was happy that they accommodated me on my request for a ristretto shot. They're easy to see when going southbound on Hayden with their location behind Chipotle. Ample parking on the Chipotle side of the lot. Enjoy this gem before everyone else does and it starts to get crowded. read more

I love the selection of teas that they have here! I enjoy trying the various selections.They also make tasty almond milk lattes! Super cute patio area overlooking the lake, plus it's dog friendly! I haven't tried any of their foods, but it will give me another excuse to return. Great service & tasty drinks! read more

Excellent coffee! Also scrumptious chocolate croissant A little tough to find but worth the hunt within the shopping center parking lot read more

I frequently visit Scottsdale for business and I saw Altitude on yelp so I wanted to check them out. First off this review is almost purely based off of their coffee quality. (Which after all is the most important thing about a coffee shop.) I didn't try any food on the menu...so I can't say anything when it comes to that. Anyway, the cappuccino I ordered was very sour and almost had a bad lemon tang to it. I actually could not finish my drink because of the foul taste it left in my mouth. I usually don't like leaving bad reviews of a place, but truth is I just couldn't finish my drink...which shouldn't happen. I should be enjoying every sip. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon, as there are better options in the area. read more

Not many places you can get espresso, wine, bloody mary, breakfast, lunch, bruschetta, wifi, AND bring your dog!! Oh, and they have dog biscuits too! I LOVE this place. All of the staff and owners are really friendly. Some of my favorites are the salmon bruschetta, egg white breakfast wrap, and the caprese panini. I haven't tried the dog biscuits, but I have it on good authority that they are amazing! Right on the lake, so great pre/post walk/ride stop!! They do open mic night on Wednesdays too if you like to play! read more

The atmosphere here is tremendous. You feel at home as soon as you walk through the doors and are welcomed by friendly people who actually know something about coffee. The coffee? Excellent. Keep in mind, this is not a Starbucks. Be ready to wait a few minutes for your caffeinated beverage but it's worth the wait. I haven't tried and of the food yet but there was a quiche brought to a table nearby that looked delicious. I strongly suggest sitting on the patio while you have your coffee. There's lots of comfortable seating. Overall, this place is my new go to when I want a good cup of coffee. You should try it too. read more

This just may be my new coffee place! They toast their own coffee, great views from inside and out, and they have all local and organic foods. I had a lovely conversation with the owner--super nice! Love this place:; I think they will do great!! read more

I went because I knew that the Master Roaster and Barista extraordinaire would provide outstanding espresso and convivial interaction. What I didn't know was that the proprietor had created an ambiance much more akin to a European cafe than the fast food mega-chains selling coffee on every corner. I look forward to going back with my wife, child, friends...or just by myself for some quiet time with a newspaper and coffee. read more

Press Coffee - McCormick - Best 3 year old hot chocolate in town - as confirmed by local expert. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

A breath of fresh air for McCormick Ranch. Great coffee, panini's & scones! A very laid back atmosphere with a happy staff. The owners are great guys and really know their coffee. Ask them about the beans and roasting process and you will get an education! Alcohol & an evening small plates menu is coming soon...I can't wait! read more

Wanted to like this place. However, our first clue was the lack of ambiance both inside and on their patio. However, the true test of course is the coffee. I ordered a mocha. It seemed to have zero espresso in it. Just a strong hot cocoa. The blueberry muffin was decent. My wife's Americano was undrinkable. It did not taste like an espresso drink and was more like brown water. We threw it out. So, two lousy coffee drinks and a muffin was $14. AND, the gal making the drinks was rude to boot. We will not be back. There are better options out there. read more

I have been searching for a coffee shop that stands out since moving down to AZ from Minneapolis. I've found a ton of average spots that feel run-of the mill and when I came across altitude I was pleasantly surprised! The shop itself is a little small and could use some extra space but it has everything a classic coffee shop should have. A friendly staff (complete with fantastic mustache on the man who roasts the beans), a bean roasting machine there in the store, cozy tables, perfect lighting, a light food menu that is done well rather than just "done", a beautiful old piano, an outdoor patio that is cozy and welcoming and misters that spray while you sir under the shade of a beautiful tall tree overlooking a fountain across the way. I was very impressed that they carried more dairy free milk options than just soy! The wonderful man with the mustache even shared that they were careful about the almond milk they selected to ensure it would support the latte art they enjoy sharing with their customers. As a girl who LOVES both almond milk and latte art it made my day to know I could get both. (Typically almond milk doesn't hold the design as well.) After sitting outside enjoying my coffee I decided to order a salad. I trusted the barista with her suggestion of the strawberry salad and was pleasantly surprised by the portion! Typically salads from these types of places are small and leave me hungry. This came out massive and tasting amazing! I recommend Altitude to anyone who is looking for an experience to go with a great cup of coffee. read more

This new place is great and overlooking the Scottsdale Greenbelt it fits so nicely into its location...calling it a coffee shop would be selling it short...yes that have great coffee and roast their own beans but the food is also great!...just had one of the best egg white, spinach and feta omelette a ever...they also just got their liquor license and are expanding their menu and hours... read more

Yesss!!! - Delicious espresso - Non-annoying internet music channels keep me feeling groovy - Nice view (patio AND lake) - There's a piano! - It's not Starbucks read more

We ordered a latte and an americano, both were so awful we threw them out at the gas station down the street. The weakest latte I've ever had, I'm not sure anyone taught the barista how to make a proper espresso. read more

Went here for breakfast with the girlfriend last weekend and we were both very happy with our experience at Altitude. We both wanted breakfast but were dreading the portion sizes at Butter's (one of our favorite spots,) I suggested Altitude as we've wanted to go but hadn't make it happen yet. The location is great and we really liked the decor/ambiance of the place. It's low key, clean and feels inviting. We were both greeted by who I'm assuming was one of the owners and went to order. A Cappuccino, Latte, and 2 of their egg white, bacon sandwiches and everything was great. The food tasted fresh, the bacon wasn't a dried out piece of bark but a thick cut with a lot of flavor, and we both enjoyed our coffees. We both like that we now have a new place to go have breakfast when we are looking for something lighter and more low key. We are planning on going for dinner/happy hour soon as the menu features meat and cheese boards, bruschetta, and an appealing drink list. You can absolutely tell the owners really care about what they do and while they are clearly still fine tuning everything I absolutely recommend checking this place out. read more

Pros- cute location, nice patio Cons- service was slow, didn't ask what kind of milk I wanted so made it full fat, chi tea was just ok. read more

Coffee=amazing. Roasted on sight. Talented staff Food=memorable. I've tried two different paninis so far. Prep, presentation of the salad and panini were so perfect. The chef even came out to check on us. That's what makes it memorable. Atmosphere=unique. They have contemporary feeling mixed with recycling wood for displays and art. It has an old antique piano and a brand new state of the art roaster which, to be honest, is a piece of art in itself. I will be a regular st this coffee lab read more

Loved the coffee, the atmosphere, the View of the lake, everything about this place honestly. The guy at the counter was patient considering how long I was taking since this was my first time here. I got the caramel cappuccino and it had the right amount of sweetness. Will return here! read more

I had a wonderful relaxing morning listening to some videos and spending time with the dog. The latte was very yummy and they made it perfect to my specification. The coffee was of very good quality as I did not get a headache or the jitters. All the other people around me looked like they were also having a great time! I really enjoyed the people that stopped by to say hi and pet the pup. The staff was very friendly and even brought my dog a bowl of water. How cool was that. So definitely a dog friendly place and I look forward to my next visit! Thanks, Jim Kreisman read more

I just discovered this gem and I will be back soon! First and most importantly, the coffee is great and so are the lattes! Second, I have never met a nicer staff at a coffee place. They are super friendly and accommodating to all of their customers needs. We wanted to take pictures there and they had no problem with it and even helped us out. They really go above and beyond. Third, it is right on the water and it is so beautiful and relaxing to sit outside here and drink coffee. They inside is decorated perfectly and is just adorable. Finally, not only do they have coffee, but they do wine and cheese. What more can you ask for!? read more

Just had a cup of coffee from this place. I tried the dark roast. I found it to be of excellent quality without the need to sweeten or add anything to it. The environment is pretty nice. It looks like they also serve hard alcohol and wine there. It would be a good place to hang out and read a book without feeling like your selling your soul to the trendy hipster gods. They also sell their coffee beans which I really like seeing in a coffee business. Definitely intend on visiting again and will probably pick up some of their house blend coffee beans on that visit. My only encouragement for the business is that I felt the price of the coffee was a bit high. Then again it was a premium cup of coffee in Scottsdale which I suppose comes with the territory. read more

Love this little coffee shop. When the weather is cool their patio is a great little escape to just enjoy some coffee and relax. My favorite chai tea latte that I've had. read more

Press Coffee - McCormick - Chai tea latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I met some friends here and wow, the first thing that happened is the counter girl came over with homemade shortbread cookies and said, we baked too many, would you like some? Yes, of course! They were perfect, not too sweet, yet buttery and yummy. The tea selection was good and we shared this crazy dessert called a Kurtosh since it was a birthday celebration. Incredible. They warmed it first and then we all tore off pieces like pull apart monkey bread only this was so much better! (Wish we'd snapped a pic but look at the pics on yelp and you'll see it.) what a wonderful place! read more

I'm here every single morning before heading to work, staff is great and friendly. They have the cuties patio setup. Great food and service. Love this place. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in Scottsdale. Their coffee, desserts and breakfast/lunch menus are good. The environment is amazing. Relaxing and inviting. The management and the service is superb. I totally recommend it to everybody! They also have a beautiful Saturday events with a live band and drinks. I always enjoy the elegant evening event with my family and friends or reserve it for a private party. read more

We love to ride bikes to this little place. The food is good too of you're hungry. We enjoy that it's on the lake too.

This place serves the WORST coffee I've ever had in my life. I took one sip and threw it away. It was literally brown water. The service was rude, which is the first time I have had poor service in the year that I've lived in Arizona. There is also no ambiance in this place. Very disappointing. My husband did enjoy his baked good. read more

Excellent. Everything, Excellent . Right off the greenbelt, quiet enough for meetings but not stuffy. Great food, great coffee. read more

A beautiful place. Almost like being in Europe at a Cafe in a small town. Coffee is good, food is good, I highly recommend this place! read more

What a beautiful spot! The staff was friendly, amazing coffee and these unique delicious kurtosh pastries. When in Scottsdale it's my favorite place to relax and get some work done on the big patio with coffee. read more

I love this coffee shop! The coffee is decent, the chai is good, the vibe is great! One of the best coffee shops to work out off. Great seating, outlet plugs, and quiet atmosphere.

Really helpful staff and welcoming atmosphere. The best thing is the dog friendly patio. Try the Chai Latte (strong); milk was steamed just right and coz I was out on the patio with my pooch, they brought it out for me. Food looked good but I'd just had brunch and was only in for Tea. Will definitely be goin back so lookin forward to trying some, the next time I visit. All around AWE-SOME (they even had dog treats and water put out, for their K-9 visitors) read more

Great spot to people watch but honestyl the ice coffee was amazing.. nicely roasted and the bean already had a hint of sweetness that I didnt even need sugar, Just a little creamy. I also got the smoke salmon bagel and that was really good too and just gave me a great start to my morning. read more

One of my favorite neighborhood spots! Best coffee in town in my opinion. It's great for coffee on the go or if you need a chill place to sit down with your laptop or tablet to get a little work done while getting out of the office. Been coming here for over a year and get my fresh ground coffee beans so that I can make at home. Highly recommended the house blend! read more

Nice cafe, cool atmosphere, good coffee. Prices are a bit high (that's the one star dock), but I guess you pay for what you get! Outdoor seating area is really quite nice and next to a small lake! read more
