Lucky for my colleagues and I, an adorable little coffee shop opened up down the street: Sonoma Coffee Cafe & Drive Thru. (It happens to be right off the 101 at Via de Ventura–and have a drive thru–so the location is actually quite convenient for anyone commuting in Scottsdale.) The atmosphere is cute and cozy, with large leather sofas and a European-inspired mural on the wall. My favorite drink so far is one of the “Sonoma Specialties,” the Sonoma chai latte with raspberry and vanilla. The specialties menu also includes a spiced mocha with Ghiradelli chocolate (can’t go wrong there, can you?) and a handful of tea lattes. My co-workers heart the the vanilla latte. There’s also a selection of blended ice drinks offered at Sonoma Coffee Cafe like a White Russian Frappe with espresso, white chocolate and coffee royale and a Matcha green tea frappe with peppermint. The latter sounds especially cooling come summer.
Hungry? Sonoma Coffee Cafe also had a selection of breakfast items like egg-and-cheese sandwiches, Belgian waffles, fruit parfaits, muffins, oatmeal and bagels, as well as paninis, salads and a soup of the day for lunchtime visitors. For dessert, avert your eyes to the gelato case where you can get a cupful of cool, creamy peanut butter cup or raspberry tiramisu, among other flavors. Ooh, and I spied a carrot cake slice that looked heavenly. Next time. 480.278.8228, www.sonomacoffeecafe.com.
Sonoma Coffee Cafe
Why have i never seen this place? i drive by there everyday and could certainly use a drive through coffee spot.
You are sooo right. I stumbled upon this place yesterday. Definitely try there Vanilla Latte. I often grab a latte from Starbucks and notice that soon after my coffee has a bitter aftertaste. This drink does not. Halfway through it was still as creamy and flavorful as the first sip. So all you Scottsdale socialites grab a cup of Joe from our city’s newest hidden treasure.
I JUST found this place; can’t believe you guys have it on here!!! I LOVE THE DRIVE THRU!!!!!
Yep! I like this place too; and it’s super cute inside as well
Ooooh, that’s right on my way to work. I’ll have to check it out!
LOVE SONOMA COFFEE CAFE!
When I bopped into Sonoma Coffee Cafe to use a triple meal deal coupon my grandma gave me i didnt expect to find my new favorite coffee and lunch spot here in the valley! Im obsessed!!
Definitely go try this place. Convenient, cozy, cute and the most important “c” — COFFEE.
Great quality brew in a clean environment.
This place is the best. The service is so friendly, they play good music and the coffee is great. I would go here rather than Starbucks any day!
Oh my goodness, those drinks sound divine! I can’t wait to try some and breakfast! I will have to make a visit soon. Can’t wait!!!
Geez those are some big coffee beans! hehe
