    Best local spot in town to get coffee. Not only top notch coffee but supporting small local businesses is what it's all about.

    The best chai tea I've ever had. I went here daily while in Sedona, it was that good!

Aside from the tea, they also sold all kinds of goodies--from traditional dresses to books to little trinkets--which I later found out that 70% of the products they sold here were handmade by their rural women & men. There was just so much to explore that my eyes and my heart were full and I haven't even had their teas yet. Another couple of things I found out later on while I indulged myself in more chai than I probably should have and scrolled through their website: (1) half of their profit goes to support women and children in Pakistan, and (2) this place is a "social-enterprise dedicated to peace-building and socio-economic empowerment of women and children in Pakistan." With that, truly, my heart and my belly could not be fuller and I'm so glad I made a point to visit this place at Tlaquepaque! There were some tables and chairs, as well as area rugs where groups sat crisscross applesauce, outside the store on the terrace since they're located on the second floor. They also had a few of these super charming balconies you can hang out and sip your drink at. If you're not in a rush, I think staying and having your tea there completes the whole experience. What we tried: Butter Chai - 5/5 Traditional Cardamom -4/5 Iced Black - 4/5 From the three drinks we got, my ultimate favorite was the Butter Chai. Apparently, they don't consider this as their best seller, but I have seen so many people rave about this particular drink and I couldn't be happier that I went for it. It was the perfect symphony of sweet and creamy with the spices not being too overwhelming. I didn't know that it came with some toppings of crushed pistachios too, but they make sure to ask if you're okay with that when you order. Overall, this one's quite a special place. If you get a chance to stroll around the Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, I highly recommend you stop by here!

    After looking at 5-6 ice cream gelato shops in town, I finally found a place in Sedona that served…read morehomemade prickly pear ice cream, which is an Arizona specialty! The natural color of the fruit is pink so the ice cream took that on. The taste is fruity, like a sweet berry. Would recommend!  A small cup was $7.45 after tax, and included two scoops that you can mix and match flavors!

    This place caught me by surprise. We weren't in too much of an ice cream mood that day because it…read morewas already quite chilly outside, but we wanted to try it so we just got their small cup. That size allows you to choose two flavors, so we had their Belgian Chocolate and Espresso Swirl. SO. INCREDIBLY. GOOD! Their ice cream is almost like a gelato because it was so lush and creamy and so flavorful without being overly sweet. It's not the kind of ice cream that has those little ice chip bits you get in every bite. Nope. This was just pure creamy bliss all throughout. Everything they had was homemade too--from cookies to brownies to pies, and of course their ice cream! They had coffee as well, so they truly have a lot to choose from when you stop by. The staff were super nice and friendly, and made our visit such a happy one. We also heard they usually have a long line that goes out the door, so we were pretty lucky when we found ourselves only with a few other people ahead of us when we visited. Although after we got our order, the stream of people that arrived seemed endless. If you find yourself in Uptown Sedona, please stop by and get some of their ice cream. I know I will when we go to Sedona again!

    Oh what an INCREDIBLE offering (all gluten-free, all vegetarian menu) in Sedona. Esp for those with…read moregluten sensitivities, it's a safe haven. Service was amazing too - attentive, friendly & joyous. Menu is innovative and while we didn't vibe with the taste of every item we tried, we enjoyed how healthy and gut friendly the food was. They say all their food is prepared in-house and is never from a can. Their dessert selection is amazing (tried the freshly baked vegan, GF scone which was soooo yum). The chocolates were good too but a tad overpriced imho. And omg, the seating in this restaurant is something else... there's PLENTY of inside and outdoor seating, incl their magical garden area.

Given that the burrito has two ingredients as of yesterday (menu says it has salsa, but upon ordering you're offered an up sell to pay extra for salsa or avocado), I was disappointed it didn't err on the side of extra chickpea chorizo. It was however seasoned incredibly well, sweet potatoes included. If you want a more quiet patio experience, then I would opt for the dog-friendly patio in the front as opposed to the one through the restaurant toward the back. There wasn't anyone there when I came at open.

    I was really excited to finally try Rocky Rd's Ice Cream Parlor after driving by it several times…read more I'm a big fan of local creameries, especially when traveling, and I always enjoy sampling flavors before deciding which will be the winning scoops. I ended up choosing the rocky road. It was good overall, with a generous amount of marshmallows and chopped almonds, but the texture was a bit too soft for my liking. The small bits of chopped almonds just added to my dissatisfaction of the texture. While the taste was enjoyable, it wasn't something I'd go out of my way to get again especially since I was treated rudely. Unfortunately, what really turned me off was the service. While I was waiting for my waffle cone, my son was trying a few flavors and really liked one with Butterfinger bits. He asked me to get a sample so I can try how good it is. The young woman helping us (with blondish-red hair) clearly noticed we had already ordered and responded with a rude, dismissive look. She handed me the sample and said, "I need to take care of these other customers," in a tone that made us feel like we were an inconvenience. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary. Sampling is a normal part of the experience at ice cream shops, and the interaction felt unwelcoming. Because of that experience, I didn't recommend this place to others in my group, and I wouldn't return. I would have been happier with a soft serve cone at the Sedona McDonald's!

    Good quality of ice cream. Went here when there was nobody. We got served the ice cream right away…read more This is absolutely one of the best sorbet I have tried in Sedona. The lady (whom I suspect the owner) based on other reviews was rude. Based on my comment, it is her personality, besides it is Sedona, where people just comfortable being themselves and not fake. She was treating us good though during our visit.

    What a rude service!! Never coming back here again…read more The lady working came after me outside after I told her I was done talking to her. She has customers waiting and came outside . Wow Here is what happened Last year we had a great experience coming to this ice cream shop. And the reason why we came back is because they had this delicious vegan option. So we made this trip special to come to the shop. So the only two vegan options they had today was two different types of sorbets. And then I asked that last time I was here I was given a chocolate option. She said no these are the only two options and then the owner was there. She said I've never made anything else here. So then I thought about it and I looked through my pictures and I saw that in my cup I had a dark chocolate in my cup. So I went back inside and I said oh my gosh I'm so sorry I made a mistake. You're right I didn't have a vegan ice cream that was not a sorbet. It was like a chocolate cake because I remember someone offered me that the only vegan thing that they have here is a chocolate cake and then this lady that's working here totally cut me off and said "no!! The owner has only made these two vegan options! There is no other option!" She didn't let me talk and she was so rude ! So I left as this lady was not going to have a normal conversation with me so I told her why do you have to rude and went outside . She then ran outside and yelled at mez That is SO UNPROFESSIONAL and rude.

    I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile and just never hit it when it was open…read more Yesterday was my lucky day. My husband and I both got a cupcake. He got the hostess chocolate one and I got carrot cake. I love how everything is gluten free and most everything was also dairy free. The cupcakes were delicious and not dry. Only downside is the cupcakes were pretty pricey especially for the size (I think part of this is just Sedona in general). The decor could use an upgrade as it was quite cluttered and just looked messy and not professional. Otherwise, great place!

They don't only have some of the most delicious, moist gluten-free 'bagels,' (which are more like whole wheat buns and are delicious, so good toasted or fresh) but they also fresh bake a ridiculously broad range of sweet cakes and pastries, including this divine peanut butter pie, which, straight out of the fridge tastes like creamed peanut butter fudge atop an almost chewy, lightly crunchy, chocolate biscuit base. They also make amazing cakes to order and carry great trail snacks like maple sweetened cookies and picnic favorites like their delicious vegan GF quiche (which even has my mum's stamp of approval and she is the quiche queen), Service is personal and friendly, there are seats there both indooor and out, but it's a very popular take out spot. Get there in the morning for the bagels, they have cakes and delicacies available all day long. This is a great 'small business' to support, we are lucky to have it in West Sedona. I absolutely LOVE this place.
