Boss had locked the office key in her office. We ended up sitting in bldg lobby for an hour, and I decided to make a breakfast run as we wait. Boss gave me money to buy if I fly. Found Lakeview On Yelp nearby, and decided to go there. Ordered 5 breakfast sandwiches for $5ea, but they were out of the sandwich bread, so was offered breakfast burrito $9ea, plus 5 small coffees (3 Caramel macchiato and 2 Americanos) came out to $71. Our company just moved in the area. This place is real cool. Great view of lake from outside patio, cool art hanging on walls. Dogs are allowed on back patio but not inside. read more

Delicious dirty chai, beautiful patio with cozy chairs and tables and pops of reddish seat cushions and umbrellas to enjoy the weather, great staff, personality. Large drip coffee for $2.75. Dirty chai latte 16oz is $4.45 and comes with a lovely design :) Large chocolate moist muffin is worth sharing. I'd come back for another latte!! read more

Cute little place in a great location. They have both indoor and outdoor seating plus they really are on the lake if you want to grab your coffee and go for a stroll. The staff is really friendly and very accommodating. It's pretty busy so I felt lucky to find a close parking space. My A-OK rating stems from two things. I ordered a large latte (they have a great selection of nondairy milk) and it was more like hot milk with a little bit of coffee. My son ordered a latte and felt the same way. I'd definitely ask for an additional shot next time. Also, I ordered a pound of coffee to go (you get a free drink with it!) and they had it ready in no time. I guess they do their own roasting but it was $19.99. Gulp! I love supporting small local businesses and this one has everything it takes to be really good so, I'll definitely go back and hopefully have given them a bit of feedback here so that they can amp up their game. read more

Delicious pastries and comforting atmosphere. Stopped here whilst on a run and enjoyed my tea and a lemon poppyseed muffin. The AC was greatly appreciated as well, ha ha! read more

Has been several months since my last time here during a Trek ride. Not it today however. Accidentally driving by and is open, so just came out with my favorite 6 shot Americano and honey. And I see they also have some wonderful food options here I'll want to try...another time however. Great staff and very nice seating outside and in both. read more

Place is adorable, loved the setting. Plants and design are great. Outdoor misters are available with a Great Lake view. Unfortunately the iced americanos tasted very bitter and unlike espresso and more like drip coffee with ice and water. read more

I just wanted to update my review real quick to say Oh em gee, the pastries! Wow. (I'm totally scarfing down a cinnamon scone and a chocolate chip cookie as I write this.) The scone is so flaky and crumbles like it should... so good! And the hint of cinnamon goodness is a little autumn tease (don't rush it though, I like summer!) The chocolate chip cookie was so good; didn't stand a chance. It was soft and chewy, and baked thick so it was almost half-baked, and ooey gooey. Exactly how I like my cookies... if they even make it to the oven. Haha! Moral of this post: Go get some delicious pastries at Altitude! NOW! Do it, go... read more

I'm seated alone at the small bar at Altitude Coffee Lab reading the handwritten chalkboard menu while I wait for my order of a V60 pour-over of El Salvadorian house-roasted beans. This is my second time here. It's been over a year since my last visit and I let my mind loose for a moment to wonder over how much has changed during the time that's passed between. Upon entering, I was helped by a polite & attentive barista named Max (I hope I've got that right, buddy...), who was quick to recommend the newest addition to their single origin coffee menu: the carefully sourced and freshly roasted bean from El Salvador. It was so new that it hadn't even made its way to their menu yet. I immediately agreed to give it a whirl. I look around me, taking in the interior seating options filled with happy customers, the old piano set against the back wall, the balancing architectural elements of red brick, reclaimed metal, and wood. I take a slow in-breath and open my ears to the ambient soundtrack playing softly behind the hum of conversation, coffee grinders, milk steamers, and passing traffic. When my coffee is delivered to me, it is without fanfare and I take a moment to breathe in the fragrance of its steam before taking a first sip. My eyes close and I can feel an unwitting smile tease the corner of my own lips. Max wasn't kidding. This really is wonderfully satisfying - flavorful and a little sweet without being too tart; complex with just a hint of nuttiness. My first thought is, "Well done, Max!" My second thought is, "This might be one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had." I look up and happen to catch Max's eye, offering him a smile and a thumbs-up. I ask one of the other baristas nearby if all of the single origin coffee options have been roasted here on site. She confirms that, yes, in fact - they have been. The large roaster that is to blame for all these delicious flavors sits not far from me to the left. Later, Max will tell me that he's in training to be an auxiliary roaster. His love of good coffee and process is evident. We talk about music for some time, too, and I learn that he's personally responsible for the soundtrack I've been vibing to this whole time. A friend joins me unexpectedly, asks me what he should order. I recommend the El Salvador through a V60. He is as impressed as I have been. The door behind us opens and closes as customers enter and leave, quietly trading places around us. The sound of a piano swells to fill the room - someone has decided to play, and it's absolutely beautiful. By the time I am gathering my things to leave, my entire being feels... settled. I wave goodbye to Max and the other baristas, swing my backpack across my right shoulder, and follow my friend out the door. Looking back through the window, I know it won't be long before I'm back for more of the same. I toss a silent thank-you to the coffee shop, the morning, the sun... CONCLUSION Featuring an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, adequate seating options (both indoor and out), a phenomenal drink menu, and outstanding service, Altitude Coffee Lab hits on all cylinders with utter efficiency. If you have yet to visit this little gem, you're missing out. I can't recommend it highly enough and know that I'll be a happy regular from now on. Altitude Team - thank you for caring about your work, about your brand, and about your guests. Don't ever stop doing what you do - it's noticed, and it's appreciated. More than you know. I'll look forward to seeing you all again soon. read more

Press Coffee - McCormick - "Coffee Varietals" Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I came here to meet some coworkers for a morning meeting and to grab a quick bite. I absolutely LOVED their patio, especially the fact that it has a water view! :) I also brought my furry pooch and he had a blast relaxing on their patio while getting a ton of love from other guests. Their coffee was delicious, my latte had a pretty design, which always brightens my day! I also had a bagel with all of the fixins'! Great coffee, yummy/simple breakfast food, fabulous patio, water view, dog friendly, what could be better?? Oscar and I will definitely be back! :) read more

Press coffee is good and this location is special with the lakeside views and green lawns. HOWEVER, the music they're playing is horrible! It's sappy cheap pop Christian knockoff music. Just horrible, want to slit your wrist type music. If I come here again l'll bring sound blocking ear plugs... read more

Tried this place. Based off reviews I was cautious but hopeful. This place fell short. Baristas were friendly and helpful but seemed slightly annoyed when I asked them a question about their menu. They then took on the attitude that they knew more about coffee than I do. They don't. However the masked friendly customer service did continue until the end. You can tell they use a better quality coffee than some of the chain places but it's a total waste when you pair it with the cheapest flavor syrup that you can. In the end the price is way too high when you're peddling Monin syrup. I will continue my search for decent coffee in AZ. P.s. had to laugh when I saw the manager sitting doing work at the only 6 top table which seemed to be one of the top complaints by other yelpers... does he not check up on these reviews?? read more

I ordered a mocha from a tall slender woman. She very nicely made it, I left and returned a few minutes later and very quietly explained that the drink tasted sour and skunky. I was concerned the milk was bad, she very rudely looked her nose down at me and asked what she wanted me to do, I'm sorry but with the price of specialty coffee and the risk of illness I think she could have been nicer. TERRIBLE COFFEE read more

Went in with high expectations (pun intended) - lost altitude, though. Ordered a V60 pourover, and asked for the brightest coffee they had. They pulled some of the Kenyan coffee they use for their espresso to make the V60. It really wasn't that bright (bright finish, but immediate taste was dark). Not my cup of tea...err...coffee. Nice people, cool place, but not where I want to get my next pourover... read more

Press Coffee - McCormick - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I came in on a busy Sunday morning with a long line. The employees were so sweet and apologetic about waiting in line. I did not mind as I always expect long lines on a Sunday, but it was refreshing for them to not be stressed out and happy-go-lucky. I had the iced coffee, plain. It was delicious! Not too bitter but not too chocolate-tasting either. The man in front of me had a bagel with lox, herbs, and capers that looked delicious. Their breakfast menu was quite expensive but looked like a good quality, fancy meal for a coffee shop. I will definitely be back here next time with my dog. Their dog-friendly patio is very cute with comfy couches. It overlooks a gorgeous part of McCormick Ranch's lake. I highly recommend for family, holidays, or a date. read more

Very nice ambiance and cozy breakfast place. I had the salmon breakfast bagel. It was really good, I don't think anyone can really mess that up. I haven't tried their coffee since I am a tea person. But the tea was served nice and hot. I wish they brought the tea to you instead of a more "starbucks" routine since this place is a big step up from starbucks. The staff was really nice and simple. My only complaints: There was a piano inside and it was beautiful. HOWEVER, someone kept playing it and it was so loud right in my ear, they should have put the piano outside on the patio lounge area so you wouldn't be trapped by the noise. The music being played in the background was not appealing. It reminded me of a teenager who overused eyeliner with emotional issues. read more

The atmosphere is nice. Located right next to the lake. Dog friendly establishment. My friends bought their pumpkin spice latte, I got their Americano. They liked their latte. I thought my Americano had a rich, coffee taste- it was good. Free refills on the Americanos & the server was nice and gave my friends a free refill too. Will be there again for coffee & our morning walk! read more

Great coffee and a great patio! Everyone wears masks and social distances. I order the oat milk latte it is so good, it is our weekend spot!

I don't get out of town much, but when I do I want to try as many local coffee shops as possible. This gem located on a quiet suburban Scottsdale road was just what I needed to finish up my recent trip to the Phoenix metro area. Everything about Altitude spelled success - sharp employees, outstanding coffee (latte and black drip), and great food (both pastry and kitchen made). Great patio area off the main door and lots of items to choose from inside. While we were there, an employee was packing up coffee to ship - I'll definitely be purchasing some blends to make at home. Overall, an outstanding experience with everything I was looking for in a "off the beaten path" non-touristy coffee location. read more

Just a great casual coffee place. Helpful staff - I ordered an extra shot in my latte. The woman helping me mentioned that they pull all shots as doubles, so I could get two extra shots for the same price if I wanted it. Just a nice, helpful suggestion. Baked goods looked amazing but I didn't try anything. Really cute, good sized patio. Nice, laid back ambiance. read more

Press Coffee - McCormick - Tasty latte - none of that burnt, bitter Starbucks taste. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Good coffee, scrumptious vegan pastries and a great location. The only negative is it's very pricey.

I really wanted to like this shop. I have seen a lot of people coming in and out of it. However I found it really overpriced and the coffee severely lacking. My Americano was very bitter and had a bad after taste. The staff seemed new or just not trained well. They had a limit menu due to Covid-19. I ordered egg bites...and when I opened the container there were 4 tiny shriveled bites maybe the size of silver dollars. Uhhhhh wth! Not worth it for the over $5 price. The redeeming thing for this cafe was the blueberry scone. It was delicious and basically the reason for my 3 star review. Maybe I will venture back after this pandemic has come to an end and give them the benefit of the doubt. However you should at least know how to make espresso as a coffee place at the very least. read more

We just happened upon this place on this the 4th day of July 2018 and I'm glad we did. The coffee wasn't just pretty good it was pretty and good (see the picture). In today's day and age an independent coffee shop is somewhat of a novelty and I was too embarrassed to order a vanilla latte so I skipped the vanilla and just got a straight latte. I also enjoyed a Tartine with butter and Jam that was excellent. I sat and sipped my Latte licking the foam from my hipster beard (more mountain man than hipster) and listened to the Jazz playing thinking coffee shops don't play jazz anymore and that it was nice for a change. A few minutes later the same top 40 hits started playing but for the 5 minutes prior it was perfect and after it was still very good. If you are ever in the neighborhood check this place out. read more

The coffee is superior. The staff are sweet. The food selection, though limited, is prepared with care and fines. Yummy! I wish they would open another location at my studio in Paradise Valley!! Until now I was horribly disappointed with the coffee places around Arizona. Thankfully I found Altitude Coffee Lab! I'm new to the Phoenix Scottsdale area coming from San Francisco and New York habitations so I've had abundance of the best. The coffee here is however fantastic - actually superior to most coffee cafes everywhere. Did I mention the folks are sweet and friendly? The outdoor seating is comfy and relaxing. The coffee and pastries delicious. A little slice of heaven. And the music is also great! read more

Press Coffee - McCormick - Snap of patio at Altitude Coffee Lab - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

It's nice, but when your there you can't help but get the feeling they could be doing it a little better. Breakfast could be a little larger portions (even if it costs a bit more), patio could be a little cleaner, tables could be spaced a little more comfortably, coffee could be a little more interesting, etc... Love that it's near the lake and close to our house. Great stop while your on the green belt and good quality was good. Four stars is a bit aggressive for my experience but I don't want to deter anyone from coming here. Support local businesses. Too many Starbucks out there... Step it up guys. I'm happy to give you five stars if you do. Your not too far from it. read more

Great little spot for coffee, breakfast and pastries. I had a decaf latte with oat milk and the breakfast burrito. Loved both.

Lastly, really clean bathrooms. Always a nice bonus in my book. read more

Press Coffee - McCormick - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I really wish I could give this place 5 stars. We love coming to this lake, and the patio is the perfect place to enjoy a coffee and a lite bite to eat while enjoying the view or bringing your dog with. However, they are soooo overpriced. I am not opposed to paying for good coffee drinks, but the large iced drink is the size of a small at most coffee places. and costs more! Also, the food selection is always changing and whole that can be a good thing, it can also be bad if you are expecting to get something to eat that they don't have. My main problem here is the pricing and the sizes. I hope they can figure that out because I want them to make it! read more

Super friendly staff who are attentive to your coffee needs. The honey spice latte was incredible and they made it with every little nuance i asked for. Highly recommend this spot to any coffee lover. read more

This place has become my office away from home. The outdoor patio is relaxing to say the least and dog friendly. My 10 year old English Bulldog loves it and they have free dog treats. My only complaint about the outdoor patio is that is that there are no outlets. The inside is quaint with beautiful artwork and plenty of seating space. They have a coffee roaster and on a typical day you can watch them roast the beans. I have tried several of their beans and have been impressed but make no mistake, this is no Peixoto. The staff is awesome. Always smiling and friendly and the music they choose to play is dope. Prolly my favorite roin Scottsdale. UPDATE: 9/1/2018 Ownership changed and so has quality. read more
