Cartel Coffee Lab and Sips Coffee and Beer

I may have turned into a coffee drinker. My brother’s girlfriend, Mackenzie, can’t go a few hours without coffee, so we’ve been getting up each morning to explore a new café.

The first place we tried was called the Cartel Coffee Lab which was in this cute and exciting area of Scottsdale. Unfortunately, they didn't have any inside seating or ordering, but nevertheless, the coffee was great.

I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk – my new favorite.

As my readers know, I always love to try a sweet treat at the coffee shop, so I tried the homemade cranberry pop tart. We all had a little bit of it and it was super tasty and had a unique flavor.

The next coffee shop Mackenzie and I tried was Sips Coffee & Beer.

Sips had a great vibe to it because there were many people sitting and working at their laptops. It was nice to have a crowded café with an indoor/outdoor space. I ordered the vanilla latte with caramel this time and Mackenzie got her usual vanilla coffee.

Since my brother and Mackenzie are moving to Scottsdale, it’s been nice trying to seek out some local coffee shops for them to have in their back pocket. I love finding different places wherever I go because you get to see the different crowds of people that each place attracts.
