On a leisurely walk through Old Town Scottsdale (looking for coffee), I became captivated by the beautiful flowers pictured above. All of a sudden a lady came through these rod iron gates with what looked to be an iced coffee beverage in her hand. I curiously asked, “Where did you get that coffee?  I am looking for a coffee house” She replied, “right through those gates.”  I counted it as a blessing and moved through the gates quickly. What I found was nothing short of beautiful. It was a courtyard; a sanctuary of sorts. It was filled with more flowers and a lovely fountain with beautiful seating for all to enjoy.  The excitement I felt was overwhelming because I knew a great coffee treat would be on the other side!

So, with great expectation I perused the menu and spoke with the barista regarding iced beverages. I decided to order the cold brew, lightly sweetened with agave and a splash of half and half. My, my, my, it was amazing! Perfectly brewed. Perfectly balanced. Perfectly smooth!

My experience here was extraordinary.  If you are ever in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, check out Schmooze in Old Town Scottsdale.  It was one of the best coffee venues I have visited.

Schmooze on in,
