Driving around scottsdale, early, on Saturday morning. What time at, what to eat! The world is a smorgasbord!! I was doing a search and was hungry so I didn’t want to wait at a traditional Breakfast space. The Inner Circle came up next to one of my old haunts and I had to try.The atmosphere was simple. The menu loooked delicious. I couldn’t decide because everything looked so bombtastic. I was salivating then as I am now thinking of the avocado with curry chicken salad.We ordered the Avocado w/ Curry Chicken, the breakfast burrito with avocado, the deviled eggs and the Nutella / banana toast. The coffees came out right away and that filled my hunger a bit while I waited for the feast! IT. WAS. AWESOME. I loved every minute of every bite. The kids likes the burrito and toast.The kids enjoyed the space and moved around the room. The tables are spaced for social distancing and everyone is wearing masks. The tables were clean as well as the main area. The staff was very nice but overworked. They better get a raise!!! They kept it cool be em though they were bombarded with customers.
My wife and i visited this place gor the first time and we fell in love with it. The food was tasty 😋 and my Expresso was just right. Staff was very friendly and the environment is very relaxed. Customers on laptops and reading books. Quiet but with nice music in the background great place for breakfast!
This place always makes me smile. Lots of seating options if you’re working and great vegan options. Love the vibe.
☕☕☕Really love this great little neighborhood coffee spot! they are extremely friendly every time I come in and their drink menu has some unique great flavors for coffee. Do not sleep on the pistachio latte It could change your life this morning! Also a great place to sit down and have a cup as the artwork inside is usually eye-catching. Support local check this place out!💪
This is one of those hidden treasures you imagine when thinking of a morning coffee-restaurant.The menu has a good selection for brunch time. I ordered the chicken sandwich, that came with a side salad. Both were scrumptious!Of course had a house coffee, it was enjoyable (im not the biggest coffee head).Ill be back!
This place is highly underrated!We had the breakfast burrito and the avocado toast and they were SO good. Great price, good portion sizes and fresh ingredients.I wish more people knew about Inner Circle Cafe. Its so good! And they have a lot of indoor seating. It would be a great place to get some work done.
Asked for cappuccino with almond milk, but it wasnt really my taste, so changed for regular coffee, which was good, and they didnt charge for it. Breakfast burrito was ok. Give 5 starts for the nice ambiance, quiet and chill atmosphere, with good music, comfortable couches, great to read. Staff super friendly and free coffee refills! :)
I LOVE THIS PLACE! I am from Michigan and EVERY TIME I come here (every few months) I must go see Sue (owner) at Inner Circle.My favorites are the goat cheese and jam toast, the deviled eggs, avocado boats with the curry chicken salad is out of this world!! Add bacon 🥓.I get the avocado toast with hard-boiled eggs, the hummus toast with fresh cucumbers. And the pistachio mocha coffee. All of her food is made to order and farm fresh. YumYou can dine in they have some comfortable chairs and couches and some tables. A little outside seating as well. I can’t say enough good things about Inner Circle!
I have thought about stopping by Inner Circle Cafe many times after my morning yoga class at HYU and so glad I finally did! I definitely agree with another reviewer that it is totally underrated. I had the Pickled Piper burrito as well as an iced Pistachio Mocha. Both items were SO good! The woman who helped me (I think it may have been the owner since it seems like a small, family-owned business) was very friendly and welcoming. The prices are great for the quality and I love that they use fresh, locally sourced and organic ingredients! I will definitely be making this a regular stop after my yoga practice :)
Cute little neighborhood café very nice and friendly staff.. Real homey and comfy atmosphere they have a couch and coffee tables but they have a nice mix of actual dining tables they also have a few tables outside the menu and food are awesome especially the avocado toast definitely will be coming back for that because I know I will be craving it!! also the coffee And breakfast burrito We’re amazing and the price point is very affordable for the quality of food that you get.
Overpriced food. Good but expensive.
Such an amazing little coffee shop. Its a bit hard to find, go to the end of the parking lot and youll see a sign that says were open. ABSOLUTELY loved OVERNIGHT OATS!! we also loved avocado toast with a boiled egg. I took a couple of sandwiches to go as well. The atmosphere is cozy with a lot of couches. Overall pleasant experience
Great food, delicious drinks!! Much more worth it than any chain coffee shop, very nice staff and cute shop.
My favorite coffee shop! Food and drinks are great. The owners and staff are all awesome!
Great neighborhood cafe charm, ample seating considering how tucked away it is, and fantastic burritos! The Mexican chocolate latte and Lavender latte were also delightful, and the lemon poppyseed bread was oh so good!They were quite busy with to-go orders, dine-in service, and online orders.. and still seemed to provide great service and delicious food!They also focus on being locally sourced, which I love! Their salsa choice is 100%👍🏼, and they both sell raw and use in their menu locally grown tepary beans!!
I only had a chance to try a couple cups of coffee. The habanero mocha which was great and a drip coffee. Both of which came with great service. The environment is welcoming and friendly. There are couches and chairs, great for meeting with friends but also traditional work stations with chargers at bay. They have a food menu that I didn’t get a chance to try but seems diverse and fair priced. I’m looking forward to coming back here in the future.
Really good coffee, and breakfast. The atmosphere is very unique. Im glad we tried it.
Cutest local coffee shop with awesome food. I was in town for a work trip and ended up stopping here every morning for breakfast and an iced chai tea. The overnight oats were rich and indulgent. The avocado toast was fresh and delicious. Healthy menu items, amazing atmosphere and great service!
Very good food, very good coffee & a very nice atmosphere.The best avocado toast & mocha latte I have ever had.
Ive been coming here for a while now. Sometimes right after hiking camelback and enjoying the sunset. And Ill say, its always impressed me. From the quality of service to the quality of products. The place feels comfy, unlike all the corporate coffee brands that file you through. Its small, easy to miss, but you shouldnt miss out! Give it a try!
Really relaxed coffee shop feel! There was a lot of unique art and photographs decorating the walls and plenty of seating. The chairs are super cool! The coffee is fantastic. I ordered an iced lavender latte and it did not disappoint. They also have a bunch of wholesome bakery items making it a good place for breakfast too! Highly recommend.
It was an amazing experience. My salad was delicious. My drink Pistaccio Moka was good. I just loved this place. And the service is 100% friendly and efficient. I invite everybody to come and enjoy it!!!!
It’s 9:30 am on a beautiful Saturday morning in Scottsdale. We have to be somewhere at 11:00, and we are hungry. We don’t want to drive (we prefer riding our bikes). We want something quick, but healthy. Fortunately, Inner Circle Cafe has just opened. Sue brings her prior coffee shop and restaurant experience to an exciting new venture, and she does not disappoint! This is my new favorite, local place. So glad it’s open!!
Super cute coffee shop. Staff is super friendly and the coffee drinks are excellent! They actually use big mugs instead of those little ones when you get a drink while sitting there! Highly recommend this place for a small local and quaint coffee shop. Support small!!
Been coming here for a few months and I’m just in love. They have an amazing chai tea that I pick up. Their pastries are to die and the staff are all so polite, kind and sweet. Definitely a must if you’re over the chain coffee shops.
This adorable little cafe is right around the corner from me and I just now found it! Highly recommend the egg and cheese and bacon burrito. Friendly staff and comfortable dining area. I will definitely be back!
Have tried the breakfast burrito and tuna melt. Both were really yummy and would recommend. Never had sweet potatoes in a breakfast burrito, found it super tasty! The tuna melt is different from other places too which was a nice surprise.
Great coffees and service, delish fresh sweet breads, cozy atmosphere
The stuffed avocado is awesome!
The coffee is amazing! Pastries are always fresh and tasty! During every visit, the service has always Been great, everyone is genuine and super welcoming. Also have to mention how clean and well kept the cafe is, impressed!
Sue is so nice and amazing. This is a cozy and cute. Coffee is superb. Ethan is funny and has a friendly face. Have not tried the food yet, just love the coffee. I will try the food soon.
I love this place...such good coffee, friendly people and good,tasty food.
Was in town for work and prefer local coffee places over the chains, Inner Circle was close to my hotel. I am a coffee connoisseur, prefer medium roast and drink it black. Their coffee is insanely delicious, Ive travelled all over the world and this is some of the best coffee I ever had. Best part is, free refills. I had 4 large cups each morning, they will even give you a to go cup filled if you ask.I also had the Brie Toast each morning, this too was fantastic. Unfortunately I am flying home tomorrow morning, but I did buy a bag to bring home and enjoy.If you are in the Scottsdale area, love good, quality coffee, you need to try Inner Circle! The owner and the workers are friendly and welcoming as well.
The food preparation is not done with the man wearing a mask but a chin guard! Hope he is Covid free!
Love hanging out here! Came one early morning to do some drawing and the vibe was cozy and perfect! Don’t sleep on this cute local spot!!
Great little coffee shop.
This is a lovely little local spot. My boyfriend and I come here regularly for breakfast/brunch and have always had a great time. The service is always awesome. It has a calm atmosphere with a variety of seating options and WiFi. The coffee is amazing; especially the pistachio mocha. The breakfast burrito is my favorite and all the roasts have been delicious. The fact that a lot of the food is local is a great bonus.
Cute coffee shop! And great coffee 😁
Great breakfast burritos and awesome coffee with free refills.
I absolutely ADORE this cafe. I dont come in as often as I would like to but their coffee is one of the best in town and I love their creative cuisine! Super cute inside, love the atmosphere. I definitely recommend this cafe.
Inner Circle is so chill and wonderful, really beautiful. We came in today for a late breakfast, right when you walk in you can tell the coffee is great. Cool art on the walls, theres a seating area with a coffee table, knit throws. The tables are comfortable, too. I had a stuffed avocado with egg salad, they include some nice greens, a little coarse salt. My boyfriend had a breakfast burrito, it was really good too. We just had regular coffees, nothing fancy, but it was super good. I recommend this place, and will be back.
This cafe is a hidden gem. The decor is eclectic and cozy, and the staff are welcoming and warm. They have strong coffee, and source ingredients locally. The bread they use for toasts and sandwiches is especially good!
Great food and coffee drinks and awesome customer service! Place is kind of hidden but worth it. We had the avocado toast, the goat cheese toast and the Mexican chocolate latte (YUM!!) and everything was good. Would definitely order those items again and of course come back and try some other stuff!!!
A cute little gem along Scottsdale road that is perfect for grabbing coffee or breakfast on the go or dine in, and a place to study from. Not to mention, their breakfast burrito and habanero mocha are a must have. :)
Extremely slow service. Staff does not follow basic covid practices. Either not wearing masks properly, or not wearing them at all. Watched an employee walk right in for start of shift, not wearing a mask, and started making a drink without washing hands or putting on a mask. Would only recommend to be shut down.
The best coffee, atmosphere, and friendliness!! Deviled eggs and oatmeal cookies are amazing!
I accidentally stumbled across this place and I enjoyed it. While it wasnt the best food or coffee Ive ever had, it was certainly a step up from average. Really, its the setup of this place that makes it. With tables, cozy chairs, and two couches, its an easy place to come sit (or lay) and read a book with some coffee and a snack. Ill definitely be coming back.
Great local coffee shop! Very eclectic and the feel is easy and welcoming. Its similar to small town coffee shops where students and locals gather for good conversation and great coffee. I highly recommend the iced habanero mocha.
Amazing breakfast burrito and the prices are fantastic!! Sweet little hidden gem of a cafe, next time I’m in Phoenix I will definitely be visiting again.
We love this place, especially they Blended coffee drinks that they make. I have to be prevented from drinking 3 matcha lattes when I am there. The sandwiches are very well made. They have a choice of chicken, tuna, and egg salads. The tuna melt as my favorite. The staff is friendly and the music is usually retro. The only change I would make is to leave the dogs outside.
Love this place so much! Sue is the best, she is always friendly and helpful. The coffee is awesome, and so well priced. Best avocado toast ever too!!! Just adore this place, we go there every chance we get!
I absolutely love this place! Sue is always so accommodating and lovely to talk to. The food is made with many local ingredients (which I’m a huge fan of!), and it’s also delicious.I recommend the lavender latte and the breakfast burrito!Thanks for being around, guys. ❤️
Love this place. Great for congregating and enjoy some cold kitchen food and coffee. Talk about the best service ever. Thanks Courtney, Sue and all other staff there. You rock!!! 🤘
I love this place so much. This is just what the area needed. Lots of seating. Great parking situation. Drinks are awesome. Management is incredible!I always say this is like central perk from friends. I often go here to work on my computer. Love this spot!
Great food, friendly staff, reminds me of the coffee shops I am used to back East but didnt think existed in the Valley. I would highly recommend this place and the prices were great too! 💚
Cute little spot, good fro groups, small meetings coffee and light food fare. curry chicken salad was delicious. Only wish they had a gluten free bread option for sandwiches.
What a find! The avocado toast & oat chai tea were both amazing, as was the vibe and service. Thank you Inner Circle Cafe for making my morning an exceptional one!
Fabulously interesting menu...well thought, unique combinations that are sure to please! The overnight oatmeal exceeded my expectations as did the chicken breast sandwich - greens & tomatoes were quite lovely & tasty. Great, attentive service to boot!
Looking for a cheerful place to grab a healthy bite or a coffee/tea? Search no more! Inner Circle Cafe is a great place to go if you are just trying to grab something quick or stay a while! Sue and her staff are great and I always feel so welcome when I come. It’s definitely a place I look forward to visiting regularly! Come down and see me at the ICC!!
Organic food and service is great!!
Such a great place for coffee and conversation. Not to mention great, healthy food choices.Check it out, you won’t be sorry. 😊
It’s so great to have a coffee shop like this in south Scottsdale! Sue, the owner, was so friendly and sweet! Great, quiet spot if you need to get some work done. WiFi is available! The coffee was delicious. Can’t wait to go back!
Omg this place is cute and the fact that they use real coffee mugs instead of the cardboard cups, is great! Service was friendly, environment was welcoming and plenty of seating.
One of the nicest owners I’ve met, she was so accommodating and welcoming she made sure I was satisfied with everything for it being my first experience there. You NEED to try the stuffed avocado with the egg salad it’s so delicious! I will definitely be back!
Everything is made with love here. Favorite coffee shop in Scottsdale ♡
Its a neat little place. Good drinks. Beware the chairs are a bit weird though.
Best coffee place their overnight oats are amazing..their coffee is amazing..I definitely recommend this place
The owner is super sweet and the atmosphere is great for working. Not to mention the drinks are always amazing with such great and differing flavors.
I went here for the first time and loved it! Clean, big lobby and friendly staff. Good quality food. Ill definitely recommend this place to my friends!
I was circling the parking lot like a vulture in my car because they have no visible signage unless you’re walking on the sidewalk within the plaza. (It’s right next to the “On The Rocks” bar, btw.) Then as soon as I walked in, I had to walk right out because the stuffy air and heavy smell of food was overwhelming. I’m sure the menu items are great, but I’ll never know.
Outstanding coffee and food! So happy to have this addition to the local community. The service is super friendly, the sandwiches are delicious and I always seem to bump into a friend. What more could you ask for?!
Great local spot, cozy and great for work or study. Good coffee AND good food! Finally a spot thats not another trendy copy of Cartel, but a homey spot to bring your kids or your laptop.
I really love the food they serve. It is prepared with such care, wonderful ingredients, and imagination! Their coffees and teas are delicious!
Hippie refugees from Detroit open interesting coffee house. Jerry Garcia would love this place with the weird music coming from computer. Inner circle is perfect name since owners kept to themselves. Not the friendliest, but they are from the rudest city in the Midwest.
I love this little local spot! If youre looking for a great cup of coffee, delicious healthy homemade food (my fav avocado toast with boiled eggs) and an environment with a really cool vibe then this is the place for you. Sue (the owner) got a great team, Kayla is awesome, friendly and has a great personality.
As an Uber driver I deal with all walks of life of owners and businesses and I have to say this is one of very few that treats me as a person not only that they go out of their way to show appreciation to customers that come through. I couldnt say enough good about this place and if youre looking for a good cup of coffee or a snack in the Scottsdale area youd be doing yourself a disservice to not come here.
Hands down the best espresso Ive had, bar none. Fantastic atmosphere with comfortable seating and fun, nostalgic music. An awesome coffee shop, free of pretense, with an extremely personable owner. If youre looking for great coffee AND food in South Scottsdale, youve found it at Inner Circle.
Wonderful gem of a place. My favorite thing during my spare time is to go around trying new coffee shops, and this place does not disappoint. Its spacious, comfortable, and friendly with a laid-back atmosphere. Decor is very cute. I ordered an almond-milk latte and it was delicious and well-priced. Avocado toast was also delicious (and beautifully presented!)Overall, the price cant be beat and its a great coffee shop to stop by, grab a bite and a drink, and do some studying or reading :)
This is a great place; it is well kept and friendly. The food was delicious and very fresh. I also enjoy the iced green tea and espresso, all top notch.
Yummy food and fabulous coffee! The place is just as tastefully decorated with excellent service and attention to detail. Its the perfect meet up spot for my co-workers and I, with ample sized tables and spot-on WiFi!
The seating area is very nice and spacious. Staff is very friendly. The coffee is good. Better than most places.
I couldnt decide what to eat so I ordered two small plates, the avocado toast and the brie toast. Both were ridiculously good, and a bit unique. My coffee was delicious!
Sue is fantastic at what she does.I run a writers group here every Sunday and theyve been more than accommodating and encouraging ever since we started a few months ago.And the food is fantastic. The bread served with the egg salad sandwich, for example, makes me wanna shoop!Id highly recommend Inner Circle for a laid back coffee sipping experience youll be coming back for more of.
Friendly, very personable, and delicious coffee and food. I wish all coffeeshops had this warmth and welcome when you walked in the door. Love the avocado toast!! If you get the burrito, try it with the locally sourced salsa verde.
Thanks for the wonderful espresso. Love your atmosphere and positive energy. Will have to come back when im off the clock :)
Great small cafe vibes. Locally owned and a bunch of their menu items are sourced in the Phoenix area. The Avocado Toast is a 5 star plate!
The quality of the food and service is exceptional. Don’t let the exterior fool you.
This cozy place is like a warm hug. Try their Lavender mocha, its delicious!
Nice little coffee lounge with delicious small meals. The bread used for the avocado toast is soooo good, really makes a difference. Prices are reasonable. Couches and lounge area is comfortable.
I work from home and finally have found my cafe to work at! Sue is fantastic, and makes the space feel so welcoming. A true local, community space! Oh and the food is great.
