Red Canyon Cafe is a small and intimate spot tucked into Old Town Scottsdale with an interior that feels like someone merged an Arizona trading post with a modern coffee bar. Reclaimed wood planks cover the accent wall in varying shades of brown. Desert themed art fills the gaps. Dark wood tables sit next to gunmetal gray bistro chairs. Outside, heavy timber pillars and black metal patio furniture give it an Old West feel that fits right into the Old Town neighborhood. The seating is limited but that is what makes the place feel cozy.
The espresso comes from Alchemy Roast in MesaΒ and the house bean is the Red Canyon, a single origin from the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala roasted just above medium. I had a straight shot. Smooth and lightly chocolaty with no bitterness. It leans darker than my personal preference but it is a well made cup and the La Marzocco Linea behind the counter means the extraction is in good hands.
The crepes looked incredible, for what it is worth. I was not hungry but I am already thinking about going back for that reason alone.
If you are exploring Old Town Scottsdale and need a quick stop for a solid espresso drink in a space that actually has some character, Red Canyon Cafe is worth ducking into.
