    Fast friendly service, great food! Really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend it! Hadn't eaten there in awhile, and it was still great!

    Had the best apple pie I've ever had here. Flaky, flaky crust and perfect amount of sweet. Thanks!

    I've been stopping in at The Grotto for almost 10 years. Walking through the patio and into the…read morerestaurant is like walking into a joint in Laurel Canyon circa 1969. There's something comfortably out of time about the place. The Grotto is a model of consistency. Nice, energetic staff, a good overall vibe, vintage concert posters lining the walls, and a playlist that is basically the Great American Pop/Rock Songbook. Nothing particularly complicated here. They just know what works. My go-to is the "Famous Chicken Salad Sandwich." I've had one hundred of these sandwiches by now (lol), and not one has ever been off. The menu is expansive, and in nearly a decade I've never had anything that missed. That kind of consistency is harder to find than it should be. The menu is priced accordingly, too, which makes The Grotto one of those increasingly rare joints that doesn't seem hell-bent on robbery. If you happen to run into the owner, Mike, he's a fun guy, a music historian, a Barry Goldwater geek, and apparently has no problem hitting on your woman right in front of you. (lol) The Grotto is a nice respite from the cowboy, biker, gift-shop vibe that has become the town of Cave Creek. It's a little bit of Laurel Canyon hiding out in the middle of Yeehaw country.

    Food was fresh and seasoned well. The latte was delicious too…read more The layout of the tables and seating is well thought out and the decor on the walls is fun to check out.

    Janey's Coffee Co & Bodega is truly a treasure. Set back from the main road (Cave Creek), I was…read moremildly surprised at how busy it was on a late Sunday Afternoon. I say "mildly suprised" because once we walked up to the actual coffee house we heard the live music on the large back patio. One of our absolutely favorite local artist, Aaron Howard was performing, and he definitely brings in a crowd. It was busy, as I mentioned, but not too crowded, and we found a good table towards the back. As it was the begging of the hot weather this spring, we were very grateful for the generous-sized table umbrellas. But first, we went inside the Bodega to order a Beer and a snack. They have a great selection of Beer and wine! And since we were still 2 hours or so away from dinner, we decided to grab a veggie & cheese board, which had a nice variety of cruditè and humas. It was very satisfying for 2 adults. We spent.a total of about 2 hours there and left there knowing we would be coming back to Janey's. Side note: For those of you who need accessibility, I myself am on an electric scooter for ambulating. The parking lot is dirt and only has a couple of handicap parking spots. But no space is more than approximately 150 ft from the entrance to Janey's. Once you get to the building, it is very easy to get in and out of the main bodega, with wide, level doorways. The doors were propped open when we visited. I did not utilize the restroom on this visit.

    Cute place, yummy drinks. Clean and unique bathrooms. But, umbrellas were broken and the cushions…read moreon chairs were gross and stained. I can actually live with that. However, what' will keep us from going back is the no-personality service. Been there twice in the afternoon and both times the service was stoic. For us friendly service tops everything. Nobody wants to feel like you're inconveniencing the employees.
