Old Town Scottsdale has so many great coffee spots, plus amazing shopping (most open after 10am), everything from souvenirs to clothing. It’s right by Fashion Square and surrounded by tons of great food options, making it an easy place to spend a morning or afternoon.
A little favorite of ours in Old Town, perfect for a quick, fresh lunch. Salads, wraps, and easy, casual bites in a really great spot close to everything. It’s one of those places we always come back to, and we’d highly recommend it if you’re looking for something light and delicious between wedding plans.
A go-to dinner spot for us, Blanco Cocina + Cantina is perfect for a fun, relaxed night out. Lots of Mexican favorites, great margaritas, and amazing shrimp tacos. It’s an easy choice for dinner and always a good time.
Butters Pancakes & Café is our favorite for brunch—so many great gluten-free options (which we love), with a cozy, classic feel. The Whole Hog is our favorite.
The Montauk is one of our favorite spots for cocktails, easy, fun, and always a great atmosphere. They’re known for their frosé (so good) and have a full drink menu, plus it works just as well for brunch or lunch. It can get busy, so reservations are recommended.
Camelback Mountain is a great spot for hiking with beautiful desert views. Be sure to check the weather ahead of time and bring plenty of water, it can get hot quickly!
