Last week Aaron and I went to Scottsdale, Arizona for a good friend’s wedding. Other than Aaron coming down with a bug while there, we had a wonderful time. We stayed in Old Town Scottsdale, which meant that we were surrounded by shops and restaurants, all just a walk (or a scooter!) away.
We didn’t do a lot of sightseeing, but we did do a lot of good eating, so I thought I’d share a few places we enjoyed and would recommend.

{eating} in Scottsdale
- Barrio Queen – their tacos were delicious (yes, there was one with an egg on it)
- Hula’s Modern Tiki – I loved the Jerk Pork and also enjoyed a blood orange martini
- Morning Squeeze for brunch – Probably my favorite spot, my breakfast burrito (with green sauce) was outstanding, and the mimosa flights–in cute little mason jars–couldn’t be beat.
- Shakes and Cones – a cute little organic soft serve spot, I had the “Vanutzel” but with chocolate ice cream… so the “Chocnutzel” I guess? Chocolate ice cream, Nutella, and pretzels. Yum.
- The Daily Dose – This was our first stop for breakfast after our early morning plane trip, and I had Eggs Benedict Tostadas. They were excellent.
- Brat Haus – I didn’t get a photo, but I recommend this one for great sausages, the biggest pretzel I’ve ever seen, and good beer.
- Sip Coffee and Beer – After breakfast, we treated ourselves to an arrival brew at Sip (although their coffee looked tasty as well)
Have you been to Scottsdale? I hope to go back again!
