I discovered a hidden gem and I almost (focus on the word almost) don't want to share my find! But, I will with my Yelp friends. During a morning of discovering new businesses, I decided to drive up to Cave Creek and work from a coffee shop in the area. I turned to my trustee Yelp app and noticed the Grotto's listing. Just then, I saw the sign and it looked like it was right up my alley so I decided to check it out! This little coffee shops is filled with unique character. It's nestled off Cave Creek Road and trees hide it from plain site, but locals know just where to go! Inside, the walls are lined with different pictures and antiques and various tables and chairs fill the rooms. There's plenty of seating. My favorite area was the patio that felt like a little secret garden with several patio tables and chairs. When I first walked in, I looked around and could tell that this is a local hot spot and it was obvious that I was not a regular patron. The staff is friendly and seemed to know all the regular's orders. I decided to order the egg sandwich on a bagel along with an iced mocha. I then headed outside to the patio and set up my computer for a morning of work. Did I mention I love the patio? It's filled with character from both the atmosphere and the regulars who hang out there. In the midst of working, I look over and a huge great dane is staring at me face to face! Yes, this patio is also dog-friendly! While I enjoyed my delicious egg bagel sandwich and iced coffee, I worked using the free wi fi that the shop offers. It was a delightful morning and I will definitely be back to work from this adorable coffee shop in Cave Creek again in the future!

I enjoy eating at Grotto Cafe several times a week. I like the Iced Coffee. Their salads are very tasty and always look so good. i have tried the Monterey, the Southwestern and their new Eggless Cesar Salad which is my new favorite.The Grotto Cafe has great employees who work very hard to make their customers happy. .

Cool, hip atmosphere with a chill vibe. Great coffee, creative menu. Great place to hang out and use their Wifi or meet up with friends. Big outdoor space that allows dogs (woof!) and wonderful interior with more great places and separate little rooms for more privacy. I'll definitely come here again.

4 stars for the latte but I have to give 3 stars for the rest of the experience. The veggie sandwich was good in theory (all great ingredients) but it was SO greasy! Kinda defeats the purpose of a veggie sandwich. Idk if they dipped their veggies in lard before cooking but blech! The other thing that is really lacking on their menu is a half sandwich/cup of soup lunch deal. They really need to get with the deal here as this is one of the most popular things to order for a lunch.

I visited during lunch. The outside patio is so nice! I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It was DELICIOUS! Reasonably priced, and the staff was nice. I would love to come back and try other items on the menu.
(5)Michelle K.
Amazing lunch! Can't think of anything negative. Food was delicious, staff was so friendly and it was very clean. Free refills on all drinks including ice coffee. Portions were more than enough. If I could give it more stars I would.
(5)Jenna D.
One of my new favorite places! I love coming here for lunch and sitting outside in the patio area. The sandwiches are delicious, I especially recommend the grilled cheese with added bacon! The Grotto cafe has a great atmosphere, friendly staff and great food with very reasonable prices. I always recommend friends to come here for lunch or breakfast :) They have live music now too on weekends and I am very looking forward to it, I'm sure I won't be disappointed!

Out for a Saturday hike in Cave Creek, stopped into the Grotto Cafe for lunch, with two kids - ages 6 and 9 in tow. Just after we arrived, a bunch of people lined up behind us. I think this stressed out the woman taking our order, because she was really impatient and pressuring us to order quickly. We are far from a slow family, but hadn't really had a chance to look at the menu before ordering. With no kids menu, we requested a sandwich for them to split (they are quite large) with the fixins on the side (avo, lettuce, mayo, etc.). I felt so pressured that I ended up not even ordering drinks for two of us and the other stuff we wanted (smoothie, and dessert of some kind). The patio is quite nice, and they deliver the food to you. The guy dropped the food off and split - we had no silverware or napkins. None of the side fixins were included with the sandwich, so the kids ate dry turkey sandwiches. To Grotto's defense, I did go back in to get napkins (they were behind the counter, so we're supposed to reach back there and grab them?) and another server asked if we had everything. She apologized profusely when I said that none of the sides came with the sandwiches and offered to get us anything we needed. Problem was the kids were halfway through them, so it was kind of pointless to get the condiments at that point. I had egg salad sandwich & hubby had BLT. They were pretty good. Nothing to write home about, but totally acceptable for a nice lunch. Probably will visit again to see if our first drop in was just a bad moment for Grotto. The patio is so nice I would love to sit out there for breakfast & lunch with coffee and/or a beer and relax!
(3)Leilani M.
Very charming atmosphere. Acceptable salad when in a pinch, nothing special about it. The music is loud, so I've found it's just not the place to do my telecommuting work. Don't buy the smoothies. What a sorry excuse for a smoothie. 6 bucks for ice and syrup? Go for the coffee and the atmosphere.
(3)Jason M.
Great coffee and the breakfast burritos were delicious. would've really liked to have red salsa as an option. Great outdoor seating area too!
(4)Ashley B.
Check out there passion tea and chicken salad sandwich! You will not be disappointed! Curtis, the owner is so sweet and runs a great business go see them!
(5)Sandy M.
Stumbled upon this place with my husband and son - what a find!!! Loved the ambiance to start with - such a unique place with a patio that is perfect if you are dining with dogs! I had the iced tea (best I have ever had at a restaurant) and my son and husband had the Arnold Palmer - also delicious!. I had the southwestern salad - not only was it beautifully presented, but it tasted fabulous! My son and husband had the roast beef sandwich which they raved about! We will be going back to try breakfast! Service was friendly and our food was brought to the table not long after we settled in to enjoy our beverages.

I had such a fabulous time with my friends last night that I just have to tell you about it. My very good friend David Sheehy got a new gig. He is now the House Musician at The Grotto Cafe in Cave Creek. I'd wax poetic about Dave, most of you know how much I enjoy his music, it's the place I have to tell you about. It was the most ...enjoyable venue I have been to in a very long time. The food was great with such reasonable prices that I feel like I could hang there all weekend instead of a big night out. The staff so friendly and helpful, the patio one of the most beautiful I've seen in the area and the atmosphere inside is the kind of eclectic feel I adore. David is now playing Friday, Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons. If there was ever a time to check out his great music, this is it. The Grotto is uniquely located in a consignment shop called The Red Truck Trading Company. I noticed that there is a review on here by a disgruntled consignment customer and I'd like to address that. I spent the evening sitting on a very comfortable dining chair that, had it with my decor, I would have come home with the set because I "test drove" it more so than in a normal furniture store. My husband felt the same way about the chairs AND the table we were at. So, Bob P., I have to tell you, you are getting a unique opportunity to have your consigned items marketed. I walk in and out of consignment stores all the time and the chair I was sitting on last night wouldn't even have crossed my radar, yet I found myself wondering if it would be worth refinishing to work in my home. Great way to market used furniture, but I stray. Come to The Grotto Cafe, Come to hear my good friend David Sheehy sing and stay for the food, the ambience and funky decor.

They serve the best value Latte's not only in Cave Creek but I would suggest in the North Scottsdale/Phoenix locale. The food is pretty good as well, not quiet Home Cooking quality but with a little more effort and real eggs - who knows.. Well worth the visit, go on, try it, you will be amazed at the wall art and their background music is excellent Look for the "Red Truck" parked just off Cave Creek Rd and head on in....
(5)Steve A.
Chicken salad sammich was good.. little heavy on mayo... enjoyed the surroundings.. I will be back
(4)Julie B.
Have had a great Southwest salad here before (highly recommend) and a yummy gazpacho. The atmosphere is great. Made the mistake of ordering the veggie panini today and I now cannot believe I paid $10 for this. Hardly anything on it, just thick bread, but what is on it is overly salty and greasy mushrooms, a little spinach and hardly a roasted pepper in sight. You want to charge $10 for this? Then you might think about adding some pesto and losing the grease. I had to add my own avocado to even eat it. Did I mention salty? If you read this please consider putting some love into crafting a REAL veggie sandwich for your menu, then I will return again and again..
(2)Robert D.
What a neat place tucked in off the Main Street here in Cave Creek. Very good espresso.
(5)Julie R.
Yummy bruschetta, great entertainment, welcoming staff and good service
(5)Jerome F.
While menu maybe limited, food is flavorful. Hot food arrives hot. And that's a good sign. Staff is pleasant and efficient and aims to please. You'd be depriving yourself of a pleasant experience, if and when you're in the surrounding environs, if you don't stop in. You'll be glad you did.
(5)Dee R.
I took my grandson to one of my favorite places , the grotto, for lattes. I'd never had their coffee yet so I decided on a mocha and as I was telling the lady at the counter that the one drink I'm familiar with is carmel macchiato she said Michael could make me a drink like it. So of course I changed my order and said go for it. He made a great carmel latte. Loved it. Good job Michael !!
(5)Patrice S.
Great coffee, as close to a New York Bagel you will get outside of NY. Very good breads. All staff are friendly and helpful. A good way to start the day.
(4)Frank R.
Lox and bagel - bagel was average and lox was a bit tasteless. Big upgrade opportunity. Burrito - chicken sausage was good. Potatoes seasoned well but could have been cooked a bit longer. Coffee was good. Iced Americano was on the weak side. Worst part of experience - they don't take American Express!! That's just ridiculous. Tend to not go back to places that don't want to take my money. Best part - if you can get by the part with the grown men wearing leather pants (fancy motorcycle outfits), the outside atmosphere is great to hang out.
(3)VB L.
I enjoyed a delicious mango smoothie and chicken salad sandwich. Everything was delicious and fresh. The indoor cafe is spacious with some pretty cool funky decor and the outside was very pleasant. Customer service was great and I would definitely come back for their food.
(4)Sarah L.
First time at Grotto's Cafe. Love the atmosphere as they have a collection of paintings and signs that decorate the walls of this overall western themed place. They have indoor and outdoor seating. You will order at the front and they will bring you your meal. Being it was my first time, I asked the cashier for any recommendations and she gave me more than just 1 which I liked. I went with the Bowl with avocado and chicken sausage. It came fairly quick and it was a lot more filling then I would have thought. Not overly blown away by the food, but would come back!
(4)Jim W.
A solid average ... only because I loved how someone else's salad looked. Had brunch ... breakfast burrito. Small-ish ... very little of the sausage in it. The fruit cup was a little "aged" - not bad .. but I had visions of the fruit having been chopped yesterday and sat in the fridge being sad all night. Service was great. Just not the 5 star experience I was expecting based on the reviews I had seen. Perhaps lunch would have been a better choice than breakfast?
(3)Don S.
Great locals place for breakfast and lunch. Good food prepared to order. Both inside and outside dining. Order food at counter and they bring it to you.
(5)Zion B.
I cannot understand why this place is rated so high. Portions are small, and the food was insanely bland. I had the breakfast bowl and a side of bacon. And my partner had the breakfast burrito. Neither had any flavor, including the strips of bacon. How do you ruin bacon? I don't get it. The staff is very friendly, and the dining room very well decorated and nice. But the food, omg!
(2)Amy G.
5 stars for ambiance, customer service, food and coffee. Ambiance: the patio is amazing. Charming, eclectic, and totally Cave Creek. Fascinated at all the little unique details. Inside you sit on furniture for sale by Red Truck Trading. Free wifi (yay) Customer Service: friendly staff! They are so genuinely nice, cheery. You do stand in line to order, and sometimes the line can be long, but the food is almost delivered before you sit down. FOOD: pulled pork tacos. Chicken salad sandwich. Salads. We have not had anything we don't like. And they serve beer and wine. A great place to stop when strolling through Cave Creek, and often where we go after hiking Black Mountain. Coffee: they use Roastery of Cave Creek beans. It's prob a combo of the quality beans and skilled brewing technique, but whatever it is, their coffee is damned delicious. And THE BEST iced coffee anywhere.
(5)Jeff M.
Went here for an early morning coffee and I was not disappointed. The coffee was hot and delicious and the outdoor patio was just so serene. If I were a local, I'd be a daily regular.
(4)HoyMay P.
A great place for salads and sandwiches. Very casual and food is always good for a meal with friends. You can stay as long as you like. Refills are free. Nice staff, prices reasonable and close to home. Calming atmosphere.
(4)Andrew W.
This cafe got off the ground 3-5 years ago. It had a change in ownership I believe. Since then, they have been going strong, and for a good reason. Their coffee is VERY good, not to mention they have a large selection of various beverages (beer, wine, tea & smoothies) and quality food options. The Grotto is a great place for breakfast & lunch. They offer some fantastic menu items, some healthy, some not so healthy, but definitely a good balance of both. Wi-Fi is free, so you are welcome to make it your "comfort space" if you have the option of working outside of your home. For a more detailed look at the menu options, see their menu posted in the Yelp photo section of this business.
(5)John R.
Chicken salad was great. The French dip fell a little short. We had a hard time getting our drinks refill. Atmosphere is very good the place has an excellent vibe. Too bad they close at 6 PM would be a great evening place .
(3)Joe M.
Great place for breakfast. I had the breakfast burrito and my girlfriend and son split one. Very filling and decent prices. They had bacon in theirs while mine had the chicken sausage. Comes with a side of fruit (strawberries, blueberries, and mango)-very fresh. We ate outside in the courtyard which is very cool, inside looks good too and is deceiving huge inside so you will not be cramped. Plenty of small tables as well as larger five person or more sized tables. Ample parking on the side as well as in the back. Other shops are right in the same area as well. Definitely a place worth checking out while in the cave creek/carefree area. Just look for the old (but perfectly restored) red pickup truck and the cafe is towards the back.
(5)Lauren L.
Love this place! Dog friendly patio, great simple food, lovely lattes. The service can be a tad forgetful but always pleasant.
(5)Jamie F.
Only had time to get a coffee, and it was darn good. Got an almond milk mocha after hiking Black Mountain. This place was incredible. Looks like they opened fairly recently and are doing a really great job. The food smelled fantastic and the venue was ridiculous! It went on and on with several rooms, conference rooms and outdoor seating. It's a well-known place with the locals and the ginormous Great Dane- Diva is the mascot. Like I said, I can't wait to go back and eat!
(5)Brittany M.
Great coffee, even better food! The staff here was awesome, Cassie was so nice and made sure I had a great time. She seems to enjoy her job and working a big crowd. One of the best vanilla lattes I've had in a while. Pretty seating outside, nice place to sit and enjoy. A little on the older crowd, but still fun for a 30 something year old ;)
(4)Sheena S.
Ventured here for some Sunday brunch. While a little busy, still found a place to sit easily. I had the breakfast burrito with chorizo and my husband had the grilled cheese with bacon. The burritos eggs were nice and fluffy, chorizo cooked perfectly and potatoes were good. Even came with a side of house made salsa verde with avocado in it, really tasty, and a side of seasonal fruit. The best part is their bottomless drink section which included my favorite iced coffee. Had alcohol and espresso drinks as well. Cute shaded patio areas all throughout. Not dog friendly patio due to health code according to a sign I read. Staff was friendly and laid back vibe with bob Marley playing softly in the background.
(5)Olivia M.
Best bloody Mary ive had in a while! It was only missing green olives. The red truck burrito with the apple chicken sausage was delicious! And the patio environment was perfect for a Sunday brunch! Staff was delightful as well. We will be back for sure!
(5)Paul N.
Impressive outdoor dining area greets you as you walk in. But the magic stops there. The coffee was acceptable but not much better than gas station quality brew. Our drink order was completely messed up and nobody seemed to care. All egg dishes are cooked with a microwave. Completely unacceptable unless you've got the Golden Arches out front. The worm in our side bowl of fruit was the icing on the cake. Based on the owners's response, I will try this place again. Maybe it was a fluke. I will report back shortly.
(1)David R.
Good food, chill indoor/outdoor vibe, dog-friendly (outdoors unless you have a service dog). You order at the counter and then they give you a number and bring it to your table. Very casual and cool. Tucked in amongst shade trees, little running water sculptures around and away from the street provides an oasis-like quality. Simple menu, but fresh, quality food and a friendly and efficient staff. Easy parking. This place keeps drawing me back for Cave Creek chilling.
(4)Mike F.
Very friendly staff, great coffee from roc2 . And the tea is great. Atmosphere both inside and outside is great . Never have eaten here but ... Other regulars do so will take it as good sign. . Absolutely dog friendly on outside seating . Did I say the staff is great ??? Because they are. And the coffee comes from local ROC 2 . Wouldn't go anywhere else . Mike F
(5)Kenneth v.
I just love this place. The food and drinks are very well prepared. The atmosphere is inviting and everything is for sale. That is that it is a store too. You are encouraged to try out the tables and chairs with a meal before you buy them. Great for groups, very accommodating and the prices are very fair. Free WiFi and outside seating too. Wonderful office away from office...
(5)J W.
Local, not a chain, that's what I look for. Never disappointed at the Grotto Cafe. Food is delicious and service is fast and friendly. Nice atmosphere. Great patio. Fortunately inside is air conditioned! So glad they are close by. Have brought friends and they love it, too. Try it, bet you love it, too.
(5)Anna H.
Love this place! The coffee is really good, the sandwiches are amazing and the staff - especially Lindsay - are the best. I would definitely recommend this place. The decor inside is really fun too- check it out!
(5)M L.
This place is nice for meeting a friend for lunch or treating your mother! Nice shady patio in a calm, laid back atmosphere. Dog friendly patio with doggy water bowls. Interior is clean with quaint decor. The menu has some good offerings. Friendly service. Will go back for breakfast sometime. Pretty location!
(4)Ann B.
Great food and drinks! Really enjoyed my first time there. Will be back!
(5)Christopher Dailey J.
Love love love the Grotto cafe. Always loved this place, great atmosphere and unique vibe! Check it out !
(5)Aimee N.
This was our first and last time at Grotto. We were new to the restaurant so didn't know the menu, the cashier taking the order was not too friendly. There were no seats available on the patio so had to eat inside. The table was located near the bathroom, which was not pleasant at all. Once the food came the experience did not get much better. The eggs tasted microwaved and there was a live inch worm in my sons fruit. Needless to say we do not have very good things to say.
(1)Kenneth v.
Wonderful food and drinks. Great for meetings of many sizes. With wifi available it is the perfect office between meetings.
(5)Blair S.
Decent coffee and an interesting menu... plus, if you are an avid people and doggy watcher... it is the place to be,
(4)Sia F.
I love the endless iced coffee refills! I have been there twice now. Once to relax and read in their sitting area, and this week we went for lunch. We shared a turkey panini sandwich, and a southwest salad with jicama. It was delicious! It was a great experience, and a nice change from the cowboy or western theme that you would expect in Cave Creek.
(5)Robby P.
Great atmosphere! The roast beef panini was delicious. Nice outside seating, good for kids, funky artwork.
(4)Megan H.
Great relaxing atmosphere to kickstart any day
(5)Cheryl R.
Tasty food and unique, comfy atmosphere. Yes and yes! We had a sandwich and the Monterey salad. Both were very good. Service was very friendly.
