While visiting my parents who retired in the Phoenix metro area in April, I was able to visit a lot of super cute coffee shops, restaurants, and cafes! I thought I would share the spots I visited for others who may be planning a trip to Phoenix or even moving there. Trust me, these spots are super fun and have amazing aesthetics! I hope this post is helpful for all of my foodie/coffee/interior lovers. Be sure to check back for my other upcoming Phoenix guides!

Cafes

Freak Brothers Pizza at The Churchill

We had lunch at an open air food court called The Churchill on our first day in downtown Phoenix. The space is very industrial chic and such a fun spot to hang out with friends or family! They have a range of restaurants to dine from and even boutiques like Gather PHX. We had a gluten free pizza from Freak Brothers with cashew cheese and it was delicious! But we really loved the setting and the games, it’s a fun spot for sure and close to tons.

Prep & Pastry

Located in Scottsdale’s Fashion Square, this popular cafe Prep & Pastry, is the perfect spot for brunch or a quick coffee + pastry combo while shopping! We popped in for a late lunch before heading to Old Town Scottsdale for the afternoon. My mom, sister, and I split a grilled cheese, omelette, and a cocktail! We also shared an iced vanilla latte and a rose vanilla latte.

Address: 7025 E Via Soleri Dr #175, Scottsdale, AZ 85251

Berdena’s

Another adorable cafe located in Scottsdale, Berdena’s offers specialty coffee drinks and delicious bites! This location is a little smaller but offers bench seating along the large front windows and table seating to the right of the coffee bar. I love the chic, modern farmhouse feel and the peg board plant/coffee displays around the shop were adorable! They have a new location opening soon in The Frederick, another collective space you must check out in Phoenix.

Address: 7051 E 5th Ave suite i, Scottsdale, AZ 85251

Coffee Shops

Mythical Coffee

This new coffee shop in Gilbert, AZ, located in the Phoenix metro, is super cute! I love the terrazzo coffee bar and that teal subway tile backsplash makes for a fun combo. This industrial space with indoor and outdoor seating, definitely looked like a popular spot when we were visiting! We picked up vanilla lattes from Mythical Coffee on our way in to downtown Phoenix.

Address: 1090 S Gilbert Rd #102, Gilbert, AZ 85296

Kream Coffee

This adorable coffee spot is located in the same building as For The People, a modern home goods and furniture store. The space is perfectly curated, you can browse the shop, or lounge with your Kream Coffee order! We ordered a delicious iced vanilla latte and cold brew for fuel on our busy day of exploring in Phoenix. Be sure to check out Local Nomad just minutes away! Such a cute boutique.

Address: 5102 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85012

Futuro Coffee

This modern cafe is located in the Palabra buildling, a collective space near The Churchill. Futuro Coffee has a very contemporary feel with clean, sleak interiors, vibrant art installations, and even a film projector! They serve specialty coffee drinks and pastries. It’s definitely a unique spot worth visiting in the heart of downtown Phoenix! Be sure to check out all the shops and restaurants next door at The Churchill too. We loved that spot too!

Address: 909 N 1st St, Phoenix, AZ 85004

Cocktail Bars

The Canal Club at The Scott Resort

I had seen so many photos of The Canal Club and The Scott Resort & Spa so I really wanted to check it out during my trip! My mom and sister and I were able to explore the grounds a bit which were so beautiful. The resort is stunning and I’m obsessed with the design of the hotel! The Canal Club is a cocktail bar with drinks and bites and there is a restaurant next door for those that want to dine in and plenty of beautiful seating areas in the main lobby. I would love to go back and stay the resort next visit!
