| The Village Coffee Roastery | |
| The Village Coffee Roastery has been around for about eight years sells great coffee drinks and provides a rich atmosphere, but they even roast their own coffee beans, seriously. You can also try a delicious assortment of sandwiches and salads (Monday through Friday). The coffee house takes advantage of the natural
light from outdoors which creates a nice warm effect inside. Central
in the shop is a nice round bar tiled with square blue tiles. You
can sit and watch the barista make drinks while you wait and if
you’re interested, watch, learn, and ask questions about the
coffee business. They’re pretty nice. Don’t worry, we tried their traditional coffee drinks and found everything to be flavorful and delicious. Especially considering the freshness of their coffee. In fact, if you are looking for fresh coffee for home use, we suggest you ask the barista when the next batch of coffee beans will be roasted. Unlike most coffee houses that make coffee drinks
the American way, Coffee Roastery makes coffees the Italian way
which is a creamier and smoother taste (almost a velvety layer).
When you’re sitting around the “Bar” ask them
to tell you why this is important. Where: On the North-West corner of Hayden and Via De Ventura (DoubleTree Rd) inside the Village at Hayden complex… 8120 N Hayden Rd # E104, Scottsdale, AZ 85258. Hours: Weekdays they open at 6:30 am and close at 6:30 pm and on weekends 7:30 – 4:00 pm Reviewer: Chris Tingom Date reviewed: 2/23/2004 |

One
of my favorite drinks isn’t actually a coffee. It’s
their Chai Tea Latte. They make it with all of the normal spices
you’d find in a normal coffee house, except this one has a
milk base rather than water. So it makes a world of difference.
The drink is creamy and the spices just blend together with the
milk to create this incredible blend of spices. We vote it BEST
CHAI LATTE OF PHOENIX 2004.
