1. Cafe Carumba - CLOSED
It didn't even take longer than 3 minutes into our meal before everyone was thanking me for recommending Cafe Carumba as our lunch venue on Friday. How could I recommend anything else though? It was close to the office, I hadn't been there before,…More »
2. Caffe Boa

Sit down and prepare yourself as I tell you something that will change your life.
Ready?
Caffe Boa's brunch is the best in Phoenix. Hands down. I'm also making this claim without having ever been past the patio. If you don't believe me, check out the…More »

Until recently I was the duchess of d'lish and it's about time I updated my review to reflect how amazing of a place it truly is.. a diamond in the rough.
Once I first tried the food menu I was insanely hooked. I now have a goal of trying every…More »

This place definitely has potential.... especially considering it's near my office, open early, and… Read more »
4. Hinkley's Lighting
For a long time I heard from various people that the lights are phenomenal at Hinkley's but that I would pay for it dearly. I'd just like to state that in no way is that true.
I went in needing something different, something fun to change up some…More »

Dear FEZ,
We have courted on several occasions. At first I thought maybe we were destined to be casual flings forever. I loved your eclectic style mixed with your sensuality. I've always loved that you filled your delicious martinis to the brim, but…More »

6. Four Peaks Brewing Co
I have to say I have been to Four Peaks probably at least 15 times in the past 10 months I've lived in Phoenix. That's pretty bad. But also shows how awesome Four Peaks is.
First off, the beer is fantastic. I love several of their brews, specifically…More »
7. Hana Japanese Eatery
In today's episode of I Can't Believe I Haven't Yelped That Yet, I get to tell you about my GO TO sushi joint, Hana.
Yes. There's no liquor license. Yes it's BYOB. Most of the time I don't even bring liquor with me and still have the time of my life.…More »
8. Hirschi Law Group
I realized when I was preparing to deploy overseas for several months that while it sounded morbid, I should probably do some estate planning in case anything happened to me, or in case something came up in my personal affairs while I was gone that I…More »
9. JoBot Coffee
Oh. Mygod. Ohmygod.
I thought the first time I came here and only enjoyed coffee that it was spectacular. Then I came back for the crepes. Consider my mind blown.
Not only does the outside have major curb appeal (LOVE the use of color), but you can…More »

Categories:

I know.. an update with the same rating, but I just cannot get over how amazing of an experience it is every time I walk into this store. I was in there most recently a few days ago, hoping to find a bit of good luck in the clothes department, as I…More »

11. Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe
The topic of Mrs Whites would frequently come up in the office place by a coworker who used to work near there, at the New Times. This past week though it came up quite often, often enough that on Monday, when we were planning our lunch out together…More »
12. Phoenix Improv Festival
I heart the Phoenix improv community. The fact that they can be organized enough to run this festival every year is crazy awesome too!!
I've been at the festival every year since it opened, mostly due to having friends that are performing. And every…More »
13. Phoenix Neutrino Project
I heart the Phoenix Neutrino Project. I think I go so often I should have a lifetime free membership. Seriously. You all thought I was joking, but I wasn't. Someone should work on that.
Think of it this way. It's improv *and* a movie. The crowd gets…More »
14. Sakana Sushi & Grill
I love sushi. I love Sakana. First off, their sushi is typically on point. I've only ever had one item I disliked and that's the seabass. Not a fan. One item that's a must have is their house smoked salmon nigiri. Holy effing awesome. I always want…More »
15. Sauce
San Francisco, CA 94102

Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Hayes Valley
If this establishment existed in my hometown, I'd be in some serious trouble. Not only would I be spending way too much money going out to eat, but special doorways would need to be created to roll me out.
Sauce was spectacular!
I headed to Sauce…More »
16. Snapdragon Salon
Really? I could've sworn I had reviewed Snapdragon already. Shame on me. I wasn't looking too much for a new salon when I moved, but after hearing about Snapdragon and passing it several times, I had to give it a try. I clearly remember the day I…More »
17. Sole Sports Running Zone
I'm not a runner. I only run to keep in shape for other sports. Or when someone challenges me to a half marathon. I don't turn down challenges often.
So when I noticed my shoes were not doing the trick, I decided to head into Sole Sports to see what…More »
18. Solo Café Gourmet Coffee and Tea House
I'm sure those that know me are not surprised my first review is of Solo Cafe. I can say without a doubt that it's pretty much my second home.
I first stumbled across Solo due to it being connected to Altered Ego Salon & Spa, where i was able to…More »
19. Sweet Republic
Where do you even start with Sweet Republic. This was also one of the first places I found upon moving to the valley with the help of a flyer I received at an event. It is quite a drive for me, but *always* worth it.
First things first. The ice cream…More »
20. Tempe Bicycle
I am not sure how this place has so few ratings that are kinda terrible. I had the best experience here when I was looking for the perfect first bicycle (of my adult life.. huffy's don't count).
After going to a few other shops and feeling like a…More »
21. Ticoz Resto-Bar
Why the hell did no one drag me to Ticoz before now? Seriously, you all call yourselves my friends? I'm disappointed and saddened everyone kept this secret to themselves.
As usual I was craving breakfast this morning and was able to convince the…More »
22. Tottie's Asian Fusion
Every single thing, down to the smallest detail was so wonderful at Totties that I could give nothing less than 5 stars. I was in the area with a friend to see a band play and remembered someone mentioning they liked Totties. After the show, we…More »
23. Viking Vineyards and Winery
This was hands down my favorite hangout when I lived in Akron. It was a few miles from my house and down an old back road, smack dab in the middle of gorgeous scenery. There is a very large indoor area to sit as well as a large outdoor area as well,…More »
24. WhiteAugust Tea Company - CLOSED
If White August was closer to my home, I'd be broke.
One of my friends mentioned it as a place I'd like to check out a couple weeks ago. Today another friend and I decided to meet up there to check it out and see if it was as amazing as described.

Categories:

While I didn't buy my first mac here, I definitely frequent this store most to feed my Apple addiction. Luckily my trusty little macbook has never needed a trip yet, nor has an iPod, but most of its accessories and my drooling happens here, which I…More »
26. Copper Star Coffee
Copper Star is where I go to buy drip coffee to make at home. And where I meet up for coffee on weekends and evenings with friends. When you can find parking (though I prefer walking or biking), the atmosphere there is so relaxed you can't help but…More »

Top things to know about DD:

** Breakfast til 4. Yes folks.. 4pm.
I ended up at DD on a day when I was going to make my first visit to Orange Table but running out of time we decided to…More »
28. Devil's Martini North - CLOSED
Dear Devil's Martini North, Thank you for playing Beyonce and Pitbull throughout the night last night. Because of you the jeans I bought the same day are loose and I've lost 2 more lbs.
Seriously, I can see the cougar potential here, but I am…More »
29. Farm At South Mountain
Phoenix, AZ 85042
(602) 276-6360
One of the most relaxing places that's within biking distance from my house. I, am indeed, one lucky gal!
While it's not huge, the farm can keep me occupied for hours on end. I just love the serenity and beauty of it all, and taking time to breathe…More »
30. Grand Canyon National Park
How fantastical is the Grand Canyon south rim? So fantastical that I am pretty close to getting a membership after one trip and already training for a strenuous trek down the canyon and across to the north rim and back.
Every viewpoint is different…More »
31. Herberger Theater Center
Yay for small theaters!!!! Seriously. All you people that love those huge grandiose things need to experience the intimacy and power that comes with a small theater, and a nice one on top of that.
The Herberger is in a great location and is a great…More »
32. Lingba Lounge - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94107
(415) 355-0001
What a great establishment to visit my first day in San Fran. I met up with a friend and local my first day of vacation and was craving me some Thai. As fortune would have it, there was Lingba, ready to deliver.
The dim lighting suits the place well…More »

If you ask my friends how long it took me to decide on just one breakfast item the day we visited Local Breeze for Smunch, you will understand why I will try this place again. The menu looked fantastic. In the end I had to go with the local breeze…More »
34. Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles
How can you not seriously love this place? For real. I dare any of you to tell me otherwise, and then I will make fun of you and call you lame. I've been to Lo-Lo's several times, and it's about time I inform everyone of their amazing treat of…More »
35. Lux
Okay Lux, I can move you up a star. I'm still not a fan that most of the time it's hard to find a seat and have it be quiet enough to focus on anything. Additionally, I am sad that my favorite shoe chair that was an important part of an evening I had…More »

36. Moto Sushi
I will begin by saying that I've been wanting to try this place for months now, simply because they have a salad that bears my name. Which reminds me of my high school days, when the internet was new and I spent an afternoon with a friend visiting…More »
37. My Florist Cafe - CLOSED
I have to admit that reading the vast range of reviews for My Florist made me debate giving them a 3 for inconsistency, but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and rounded my 3.5 up to a 4. It's almost hard to believe we all ate at the…More »
38. Portland's Restaurant & Wine Bar
This past weekend I had my staycation in Phoenix for a little downtime. Saturday a few friends and I wanted to go somewhere delicious no one had been and one of them suggested Portlands. I had only been there for drinks a couple times, and loved the…More »
39. REI
How can you not love REI? I'm not really sure what type of personality that would be. Probably insanely boring. REI has great gear for hiking, camping, all sorts of sports and you can't beat being a member.
The store in Tempe is pretty clean and…More »
40. School House Winery
Another new winery in Dover I discovered when heading back to the good ol' T-County to visit family. I was ecstatic to hear that not only did someone decide to do something with the old school house, but that it turned into a winery.
The inside is…More »
