“This is specifically about the 5th St location: The Coffee and atmosphere is still great, but they changed the pastries selection, it's not as good as before.”

What customers say

Vibey low key chill coffee spot with good beats and good coffee. Friendly crew working and made some killer espresso. Great spot in Scottsdale to hit before the crowds get going on a quiet slow morning. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Cartel Coffee in Old Town Scottsdale is a hidden gem for coffee enthusiasts. The iced vanilla lattes are a perfect blend of smooth espresso and creamy sweetness, ideal for Arizona’s warm days. The baristas are friendly and efficient, creating a welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger.

Update: this has been completely resolved! Updating from 4 to 5 stars! I've been coming here since 2012. Cartel is always in my top 2-3 in all of AZ. Please, please, please - MAKE YOUR SPARKLING WATER FRESH DAILY. You can tell they just use the bottle of sodastream until it runs out even if it's from a day or two ago.

Cartel feels more like a hipster hangout than what you think of as a quintessential coffee shop. Lots of young professionals working away and beautiful art work throughout. The menu is fantastic and has drink that you will not find anywhere else. I got the iconic tonic.
