Best Brunch Spots in Scottsdale

Scottsdale, Arizona is a happening place with a plethora of amazing restaurants.  Whether you’re in town for a Bachelorette party (did you know it’s one of the country’s top destinations for them??) or a cozy romantic getaway: chances are, you’ll probably want a great brunch at some point during your stay.  Here, I’m breaking down the “Best Brunch Spots in Scottsdale,” & distinguishing between breakfast places in Old Town vs. North Scottsdale ~ which are really two totally different vibes.  Old Town puts you closer to Camelback Mountain & resorts like The Phoenician, while North Scottsdale is a little more residential. 

But there are great brunch spots in both places sooo….we’re off to Scottsdale!
