I discovered Yellow Spruce Roasters one day as I was walking around Old Town Scottsdale on my lunch hour. There are so many hidden gems in this area and Yellow Spruce is one of them! I have since gone in at least 3 more times and each visit has been pleasant. They offer some breakfast items as well as a variety of coffees, lattes and the like. I especially enJOYed their Chicken Salad Sandwich, as they stuff that thing until the filling oozes out! Oh yeahhh!! They also have some really good gelato!! The space inside is pretty small, but they do have some counter seating. There's limited seating outside as well. Prices are average and the parking situation isn't bad unless you go on a crazy busy day. Check out Yellow Spruce Roasters if you're in the area! read more

I had a chance to stop by the old town in Scottsdale and I decided to walk around and I found this unique coffee shop. I order Chai Latte and it was absolutely amazing and perfectly well balanced. The shop has offered both indoor and outdoor with limited sitting areas, however, I would not mind to get my coffee from this place and walk around town which it has so many things to see in the community. Their service is super friendly and warm welcome. I will definitely stopping by again whenever I come to old town Scottsdale. Come and try it yourself!! read more

This place is such a hidden gem! I had some time to kill before an appointment and noticed the sign outside with Fall Martinis listed!! Yellow Spruce does coffee, gelato, wine and cocktails! The inside is small but they have a bar area for seating and a few tables and chairs. I think there are two parts to this shop and I only went to the side with the bar area which was super cute with really beautiful wood and coffee beans inside. Skyler was very helpful and made me my Sweater Weather martini. It was delicious and strong. Just what I needed. I can't wait to come back to try the coffee and/or gelato. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. read more

Amazing coffee roasters! The beans are top-notch, freshly roasted, and full of flavor. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate about coffee, and the shop has a cozy, inviting vibe. Every cup I tried was excellent--definitely a 5-star experience for any coffee lover! read more

There is nothing unique or great about this place. You would think being located in downtown Scottsdale-a place where tourists fill the streets and with so many other coffee shps around, they would strive to be better. The coffee is subpar and the food offerings aree awful. They are not made on site and there is not one thing about the food that makes it stand out. If you are only going to have a limited menu, make it worth what you are charging. Furthermore, your employees, other than Noah, have limited knowledge of the beverages you serve. Very dissappointing and I will not be back. If you want better coffee and food, try the Experiment Coffee and Pastry, also located in downtown Scottsdale. read more

This review is for the Yellow Spruce cafe located inside of the Scottsdale Public Library. It's not the same physical location as the one in old town, however it's the same coffee, tea, and matcha they serve. It's great to be able to grab an iced coffee and then go sit in a nice chair in front of a large window looking at the park. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk and one pump of caramel + vanilla syrup. A simple coffee order that tastes great. My partner got the iced matcha. He wasn't expecting it to be sweetened but we didn't ask, I tasted it and I like it a bit sweet. Straight up matcha can be a bit too bitter for me. All in all, great cafe inside the library. read more

I had been wanting to try Yellow Spruce for a while and happened to be in the area. It's located in old town and parking can get crazy but it's easy to find. Customer service was welcoming and indoors is on the smaller side but there's a few spots inside and seating outside. They have teas, coffee, energy drinks, gelato and a few food items. I went with a caramel latte and it was perfect. No bitterness, not to sweet and good balance of flavor. The gelato looked great but wasn't hungry so I'll definitely plan to grab some next stop in! read more

Such a cute coffee shop with good coffee! My mom is a huge coffee person, so I took her here, and she was so satisfied. She's like "finally I am drinking a real cup of coffee"! I don't really know about coffee but I could taste the difference compared to coffee from big franchise, it was nutty, flavorful, strong, and creamy! This place is going to be my go-to coffee spot in this area! read more

Such a cute spot in Old Town! The inside gave small town coffee shop vibes for me. Coffee was smooth and the milk was not overly steamed. They have some pastries available as well as a limited breakfast menu. I appreciated that they also served gelato and had a wine bar next door. read more

I have had a couple different drinks from this Yellow Spruce location and the coffee/cold brew was just okay. I feel like I'm the odd man out when it comes to Yellow Spruce because it was voted best coffee and people seem to love it! I had a seasonal fall beverage and while it smelled amazing, it didn't taste like anything. I was disappointed! I'm not sure if the cold brew and flavors were just less than normal or weak, but I was underwhelmed. For a $7 drink, I probably wouldn't come back and I'd spend my money somewhere else. read more

I was on a tour of Scottsdale and one of our stops was Yellow Spruce Roasters. I either had the choice of a free small coffee or a free small gelato. I chose the free gelato and they had this delicious salted caramel flavor. It was really sweet, and salty, and had gooey chunks of caramel inside. I don't know how they could have the caramel inside the gelato without it being too hard but they found a way to make the texture and flavor of the caramel work. I also got a chance to talk to the manager of the cafe who was nice. I could tell that they put a lot of time, effort, and passion into the development and success of their cafe. I would definitely come here again and I would also go on that tour again because it was really fun. read more

On the hunt for some cold refreshments for two adults and two kids, I popped into Yellow Spruce Roasters on a recent weekday afternoon... It was understandably pretty quiet inside as it was a hot summer afternoon in Scottsdale. The barista was not the friendliest, but took my order for two iced green teas. Unfortunately, she confirmed that they don't currently have lemonade, so I had to go elsewhere to find something for the kids. I would have preferred an Arnold Palmer or a splash of lemonade in the iced tea, but that wasn't an option. My suggestion in this scenario is either to carry lemonade or perhaps offer to add a bit of sorbet to the iced tea?! Or perhaps a syrup of some sort to flavor it? (Trying to be creative here) ;). I know some coffee shops carry a frozen lemonade, which I have a feeling would be a popular item in our crazy hot weather lately! The two iced teas + tip cost me approximately $13, which I found pricey, but I am always happy to support a local business. read more

My partner and I were visiting Old Town Scottsdale. During our adventure, we stumbled upon Yellow Spruce Roasters. We ended up getting some gelato! The team at Yellow Spruce Roasters are amazing! All of the team members were super helpful! We ended up getting a scoop of gelato - caramel and the banana dulce de leche. The flavors were so good! The caramel gelato had chocolate caramel chunks that were super scrumptious! My partner enjoyed the banana dulce de leche. The banana flavor wasn't too overpowering. We also picked up a Belgian waffle for breakfast the next morning. The prices weren't too expensive, approximately $17.00 for the scoops of gelato and the Belgian waffle. There are table seating inside and outside the Yellow Spruce Roasters. If you're looking for a drink, such as a latte, or a cool treat during the warm summer, you should stop by Yellow Spruce Roasters! read more

We stopped in and had just a coffee (latte) one cold and one hot. Both made to perfection. The ambiance was so comfortable the service was extremely friendly and the price was extremely reasonable. We also tried their gelato which was amazing! We will definitely return here. More than anything the service and employees were noticeably friendly and welcoming. Thats big to us! read more

Really good, creamy, smooth coffee! My favorite is an americano with cream. Their gelato is good, I tried the banana dulce de leche and it was sweet and refreshing. If you come on a Saturday morning it will be packed due to being right next to the old town farmers market. read more

Found this adorable place today! We were looking for coffee and ended up ordering expresso martinis! The barista/bartender was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We tried the Classic Expresso Martini which was not very sweet, which my friend enjoyed. The Amore Latte could be a dessert drink! I ordered the Dirty Chai-Tini. I was nervous about this one as I do not enjoy a "strong spice" chai. The server explained that he did not think it had a strong Chai flavor and I agree! I enjoyed it! I also sampled the Red Sled wine! I would love to come back and enjoy a glass of that another time! read more

Delicious peppermint mocha cold brew! The barista was very friendly and happy- even early on New Years Day!

This cute shop is conveniently located near all the fun shops. Popped in for a nice lavender chai / coffee latte with oat milk. It was good, staff was friendly and they keep their small shop tidy. I like the vibe, and it's clear this is a popular destination, as the line was out the door when we first arrived. The espresso machines are top notch, and they even had a vintage machine on display along with some merch. Worth a stop for a quick caffeine fix ! read more

The coffee beans are roasted to perfection. The employees are helpful and polite. I honestly have never had a bad latte here. My most recent visit I bought a couple of bags of green tea (mixed leaves). Both were very good. This place will not disappoint you and will not serve you "bitter/burnt" coffee drinks. Yellow spruce is my number 1 choice for non-corporate coffee shops. read more

I'm not hip or even cool anymore. I know very little of the coffee scene and really not interested either. Over $5 for 16 oz. I think that's a bit much...but is it? It was definitely delicious. Super polite service, that's worth something right. Really great location and very convenient, that's worth a lot right? So yeah, $5. Last word...sure. read more

Yellow Spruce was one of my first coffee stops while in Scottsdale this week. Solid coffee and service in this small shop! I tried out an iced vanilla latte with oat milk, and it was definitely a good drink. Nothing extraordinary, but definitely worth trying or swinging over if you're in a pinch for a caffeine fix! read more

I never write reviews - especially not about coffee, but here we are. The service was as bitter as the espresso, and the coffee wasn't much better. I was the only customer in the shop, yet somehow my order still got botched. The barista seemed new and under supervision, which might explain why I ended up with a plain latte instead of the add-ons I actually paid for. The end result? A cup of pure disappointment. Honestly, I've had gas station coffee that made me feel more loved. read more

Yellow Spruce is a local coffee shop founded and operated by retired Veterans and local Police Officers. Jackelyn was patient with me as I decided my order, she also recommended me the dirty chai with oat milk and it was divine, extra creamy, and super smooth. I hope to come back to try the gelato sometime. read more

This was such a lovely place. Taking a morning stroll through old town Scottsdale, when we are hit with a beautiful aroma of espresso fragrance! We came upon this little gem. My first time trying an affogato (a scoop of vanilla bean gelato with espresso poured over the top). It was soooo good! The gelato alone was smooth, not too sweet, great texture, along with the espresso. If you can imagine, once I was down to that final sip, it was heavenly! My husband got an iced mocha which really hit the spot as it was already pretty warm outside. It had the perfect hint of chocolate! All in all, great place! read more

Love this cute little coffee shop on the corner in Old Town. Great spot to walk to if you are walking around near the Scottsdale Civic Center. They have tasty coffee and gelato. Tons of flavor options. It is a little pricey for any type of speciality latte here so i'd stick to the basics. It's small inside so it can get crowded quick. There is some bar seating inside and a few tables outside. Parking right outside can be tricky as there are only a few spots but there are a few parking lots nearby across the street. read more

Pretty new local coffee spot. Got a vanilla iced latte. It was okay but next time I will probably add caramel cause it was to plain. Also it like stings the aftertaste kinda weird. Will definitely come back to try a different drink. They also have gelato and blended drinks. read more
