Review №1

My husband is from France and we thought we would stop in this European inspired cafe. 4 tables, 2 dirty. One occupied. No Gelato. The crepes were outrageously expensive. The was nothing European about this Cafe. One crepe with sugar is over $10. We turned around and walked out without ordering...we knew walking and seeing there was nothing remotely European about this Cafe. Charging $10 for one crepe is likened to asking for an additional flour tortilla at a Mexican restaurant and being charged $10. This Cafe is a hard no.I stand by my review regarding the cleanliness and response from the owners. Still a pass for me.

Top Marks Cafe definitely deserves my top marks! As recommended by the barista, I had an exceptionally tasty cafe cubano and a delectable #7 crepe (chicken, mushroom, spinach, and cheese). The gelato flavors are wonderfully unexpected. The staff were incredibly hospitable even when I stayed a while to work/study! The location is unique as well and is nestled in a quaint alley that is worth the walk if you’re in Old Town Scottsdale. 5/5, I would highly recommend this cafe!

This is such a hidden gem! Crepes are their speciality and I understand why!! I had a savory crepe - egg cheese bacon & it was AMAZING! Getting hungry just thinking about it! The coffee was also amazing. And a cute atmosphere! I only wish I had room to try the gelato! Will definitely be back & I highly recommend!

Best crêpes and panini in Scottsdale on the most adorable corner just off off Main Street in historic Old Town Scottsdale. Super casual and cozy inside and lovely outside seating on the western style wooden floors. Pretty lights are strung up and shine over the terrace, giving a romantic feel. Fast service and you can eat a fresh crêpe or panini in a minute or linger and enjoy a nice breakfast, lunch or snack anytime during the day. On my visit I was personally served a delicious savory crêpe by the owner. She is from England and so charming. Everything is made to order. Great gelato and a full range of coffee drinks (super lattes and my cafe cubano was amazing ) and teas, too.

The most delicious GLUTEN FREE savory and sweet crepes Ive ever eaten. The first savory crepe was so amazing, I had to try the sweet version. I thought I would never be able to enjoy one of my favorite dishes again until I tried Top Marks GF crepes. Theyre truly better than the original. And the expert service is warm and friendly, Jane, the owner makes you feel right at home. One of my favorite local hangouts!

Top Marks Cafe truly deserves top marks. The food is incredible, satiating and unique, and the hospitality is unparalleled. My friends and I (eight exhausted college students on a long choir tour) found the perfect location for our rest and relaxation in Top Marks Cafe. The cafe’s owner, Jane, indulged us in gossip about British current events and even promised to try to come to our concert this evening. I couldn’t recommend it more!!

This hidden gem is owned by Jane, who keeps me coming back. Not only does she have an infectious personality, but the Gelato and Crepes are unreal. The Salted butterscotch Affogato is not on the menu, but needs to be in your life. Ask her to make you one! So amazing.

Hands down, best smoked salmon I have ever had. I guess there are only a few places in the entire country you can actually get it. Top Marks Cafe is one of them. I would also highly recommend the Cafe Cubano if you are into coffee, it was perfect. Cant wait to go back and try a few more things on the menu. The owner truly makes you feel like one of the family. For sure a hidden gem in Old Town Scottsdsle.

Best of the best! Delicious food and extremely warm and friendly owner here. You cannot go wrong at this charming little cafe in Old Town! The food is terrific and the owner of the cafe is simply a gem, who cares about one thing and one thing only is that you are delighted. Everything from the crepes to the gelato, panini and handcrafted espresso drinks are first rate. All the products are either local such as the produce and gelato or imported like the finest Scottish smoked salmon. A must stop visit when in Old Town Scottsdale for the finest hospitality! The new pan bagnat sandwich (new for the season starting Fall 2020) is to die for and made with the very finest ingredients! It was so good that I bought two!

This afternoon, I ordered the Gluten-free Strawberry, Banana Nutella Crepe. Then for my drink I had Dirty Chai Latte with coconut milk. My husband had the Cubano and a coffee cake. They were delish!Also if you have Celiac Disease or some digestive issues, this is where you can eat safely. They also have non-dairy options for coffee drinks too.Besides for their delicious food, drinks and gelato, what make us keep coming back is the kind hospitality of the owner and the friendly atmosphere. So if ever you are in Scottsdale, stop by this place.To top it all, their ingredients are natural and antibiotic free.Top Marks Cafe, you live up by your name!See you again in a few weeks 😊
