So Scottsdale! July ‘22
Local coffee brand Press Coffee has been serving the community since 2008 and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. The roaster recently opened a shop in McCormick Ranch at the Mercado Del Lago Plaza. Press took over the space that previously housed Lakeview Coffee, renovating the 1,300-square-foot space for a modern look and feel. It features comfortable seating, outlets and a patio. Press sources its beans from coffee farmers around the world, then roasts those beans at its roastery in Phoenix. Press will also soon open a another location at the new Axis Raintree office building. www.presscoffee.com.
ROSÉ ALL DAY
Change is a good thing at Old Town Scottsdale’s Pop Up Bar. The new experiential establishment will continuously change its concept throughout the year, with each theme featuring original art installations, a curated bar and a scratch kitchen with a seasonal menu. The first concept, 50 Shades of Rosé, opened in late June and showcases a blush bar, a flower wall and green booths. In addition to an extensive beer and wine list, the full bar offers unique cocktails and interesting spins on rosé beverages. www.popupbaraz.com.
