Crema's Take

Tucked inside The Mercantile in Scottsdale, Bright Side Cafe pairs thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks with a warm, faith-centered atmosphere that feels genuinely welcoming to families and solo coffee seekers alike. Their signature creations like brown butter caramel lattes and creative cold foam designs are visually striking, and you can customize the uplifting message printed on your cup—a small touch that regular customers say sets their morning off right. Whether you're grabbing a specialty drink or browsing the locally-made goods around you, there's a palpable sense of community here that goes beyond the usual coffee shop experience.

I was so excited to find a Christian coffee shop near me! This is a super fun spot because it’s within The Mercantile so you can browse the locally made items they sell while enjoying your beverage. I also came here to do Bible study and found it to be a good environment for that as well. They have the basics as well as several speciality drinks and a small selection of locally made baked goods. I tried the Brown Butter latte and sourdough banana bread- both were delicious! I don’t use social media anymore, but they offer free cold foam designs which would make this a very Instagram-able spot as well. The staff is also very friendly. I would definitely recommend this spot and look forward to returning to try more of their drinks!

The drinks are certainly fun visually but sadly that’s where the enjoyment ended for me. I ordered a latte and couldn’t even drink it. The coffee preparation seemed largely automated, so I think the intent here is more like a quick-service stop rather than a hands-on coffee craft environment. If you’re looking for a more traditional barista-driven experience, this may not be the best fit.

Excellent beverage. Plus they were super nice. I had a raspberry matcha drink, which was much more of a dessert type beverage than a traditional matcha latte. I’d want to try other items on the menu to experience a more standard drink. But for what it was and what I ordered it was delicious! Plus they do like a printed thing on top (I’m assuming with laser because it wasnt powder) which is wicked cool… I got a cute little rabbit on mine.

It’s inside of a store. There is a back entrance. There’s a parking lot in the back as well. I got the brown butter caramel latte. Also you get to choose your design. The cold foam was good and thick! The drink reminded me of an ice cream. It was good.

Arguably one of the best good quality cups of coffee I’ve had here in the valley! Such an encouragement to me to have God’s Promises put on top off my coffee to start the morning. Go support this small business, you won’t be disappointed! Friendly staff, modern atmosphere, and organic, good quality coffee!
