Seeking a fresh sip and scene in Scottsdale? Little Snitch Brunch & Cocktails has recently unfurled its outdoor umbrellas on the northwest corner of Pima and Pinnacle Peak, the newest addition to the North Scottsdale brunch scene that promises more than just your average java jolt.
With doors open to patrons from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, this spot—located at 8700 E. Pinnacle Peak Road #106, brands itself as an upscale coffee hangout complete with a bakery counter chock-full of tantalizing treats and a bar ready to serve up some liquid levity. According to a Mouth by Southwest report, patrons can expect to indulge in an assortment of confections from scones and macarons to "rustic pies," akin to quiches, and when the clock strikes 11 a.m., a lunch spread takes over flaunting sandwiches and salads.
The venue, which comes to life in a space formerly occupied by Pravda EuroKitchen, isn't just about the eats; it's Little Snitch's cocktail curation that has been stirring up local buzz, as per the Phoenix New Times. Although the food might not be taking home any culinary medals anytime soon, the liquid concoctions, particularly 'The Empress,' a gin-based aromatic beverage garnished with a delicate sprig of dried baby's breath, are a clear winner.
But before you plan a mid-morning meet-up with the expectation of being swept away by an unforgettable brunch spread, understand that while the cocktails might score high, the food might just miss the mark. The peach-filled pop-tart, often a staple of sweet breakfast delights, reportedly tasted bland, and the Knife and Fork Egg Open-faced Sandwich presented a challenge, with the dry bread making for a frustrating eating experience. Additionally, the Sausage Bowl, although fitting of its description, failed to leave a significant impression on the taste buds. These critiques from the Phoenix New Times reflect the potential shortcomings in the culinary offerings.
As for the spirit-forward sips? They might just be the elixir needed after a less-than-stellar meal, with offerings like the Fruit Loop—a sugar rush in a glass that hearkens back to Saturday morning cartoons—proving the highlight of many a patron's visit. So, if the idea of a cheeky cocktail in picturesque surroundings tickles your fancy, Little Snitch may just be your new haunt. Remember, it's the kid sister to the popular Soul Cafe, which sits a mere mile away, a fact that suggests their drink-smithing prowess may well run in the family.
