Noci Cafe

Fantastic little breakfast/​lunch spot in Scottsdale. Family owned, GREAT food, outstanding service, quint and friendly atmosphere, great pastries and very reasonable prices. A true gem!

Absolutely delicious! I had a ham, egg and cheese croissant with hash browns and coffee. Truly a family owned business.

Nice, Nice, Nice…
Small, quaint, hidden gem in Scottsdale.
Simple menu.
Great food.
Great coffee options!
Nice, family run, small business with nice people looking after you with just the right amount of attention :)
I’m coming back with my wife on a sunny Sunday very soon… she will love this place!

Good food, quaint spot. Menu was a little small, but service was great and it was a nice little café.

Want some delicious breakfast? Of course you do!
Noci Café hits the spot in a big way.
My wife and I have been there 3 times already, and have loved it each time.
The family that runs Noci is incredibly sweet.
It is a small restaurant. We’ve never waited for seats, but it’s never been empty either.
There have been «regulars» there each time we’ve been in, so clearly the community of McCormick Ranch loves Noci Café.
I love their Breakfast Sandwiches. My wife loves their Eggs and their Fruit.
Everything tastes very fresh.
I’m getting hungry just thinking about going back to Noci, for breakfast or lunch.
Enjoy!

Some reviews are just pleasurable to write. Noci Café is a small family run restaurant/​bakery/​coffee shop that is simply exceptional. A perfect spot for brunch.
Noci is small. Perhaps eight tables indoors and a similar number outside. There can be a problem finding a table at peak times or if a large group shows up, but most hours it’s not an issue, especially if you don’t have a preference whether you sit indoors or out. The outdoor seating is shaded and on the north side of the building, making it quite comfortable most of the year or just requiring a sweater if it’s the cool season.
The menu features breakfast and lunch items, served all day. Additional menu items are posted on a chalk board behind the counter. Noci is open from 7:00 a.m. — 3:00 p.m. weekdays and 7:00 a.m. — 2:00 p.m. on weekends. You may just stop in for a coffee or bakery item to go if you’d like. On this early afternoon visit, our party opted for breakfast, lunch and baked goods. And why not? All were exceptional. The panini? Great! The burger? Great? The breakfast platter? Great! The muffin? Great! You get the idea. If there is a weakness in the menu, we have yet to find it. One of our young ones didn’t care for the fruit and granola yogurt concoction she ordered from the kids menu. The yogurt was too tart for her young taste buds. Our waitress/​wife/​co-​owner noticed the predicament and suggested adding honey. Problem solved. Not a speck left in the bowl. Even lowly potatoes, hash browns and French fries, were amazing. When have you ever eaten hash browns as a finger food? We did today at Noci.
The family vibe of the establishment makes dining at Noci a real pleasure. Service is always friendly and accommodating. Midway through this meal our soon to be seven year old floated the idea of having her birthday party at Noci. Don’t think we’ll do that, out of respect to the owners and other diners, but we will definitely be back to enjoy Noci again and again.

My cousin and I found this place via Unilocal,and gave it a try. Waking in at first was not what I was expecting, very small café with no booths, and seated ourselves. Ordered a omelet and breakfast croissant… Omg so good! The omelet had the perfect amount of toppings and THE HASH BROWNS were thin & crispy to perfection! The croissant was buttery and delicious. This place was owed by a married couple who cooked all the food fresh themselves and you can tell they LOVE FOOD! So good we had to grab a few things from the display to go, of which the apple Danish was my favorite. My cousin loved the homemade jelly so much with her meal, she got a jar to go. This place is worth the wait! I just hope I can get a table again next time!

I am always trying to find new places to eat, and when I do, I usually leave the restaurant saying to myself … «I would have rather eaten at home» … THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AFTER EATING AT NOCI CAFE!
Quaint, yummy breads, homemade jams, blueberry pancakes with real blueberries oozing out of them, omelets filled with every fresh vegetable imaginable … it does not get better than this.
I hesitate sending this review, in fear that they will become so popular, I won’t be able to find a table … but they deserve even more than 5 stars.
This is family run by charming people, using every moment to please their customers!

This place is super cozy, it has the family appeal all over and that consist of the best customer service, and home cooked food. I had the Egg and Cheese Crossiant, with a slice of carrot cake. The crossiant was fresh, non fluffy and moist perfect when you make it in house versus having it ordered from a supplier. The Carrot cake was great it had all of the appeal of what needs to be inside carrots, cream cheese icing, and a mixture of seeds. I highly recommend this place if you desire amazing food, service, and a friendly atmosphere.

After looking for a good place to have a regular weekly breakfast on way to work, I found Noci with so many 5-​star reviews. I can attest that all the great comments are true. This is a fantastic gem with an owner who treats the customers as good as his attention to the food. A definite place to try.

I loved this place! First off the FoH team was composed of a lovely smiling mom, super nice dad handsome 13 year old brother and Emily,(who’s about put me out of a job with her level of hospitality) age 10. All were Super genuine and friendly… &Good at running a restaurant.
The basics: came into a packed house with 1 clean table open. Still got service
friend ordered a cappuccino and it was so good, perfect amount of foam (I tried it, before it was ruined by a sugar Avalanche)… She ordered a a fried egg, soft bacon and substituted her side of hash brown for a chocolate chip pancake but the order came out perfect and all hot. I had three wheat blueberry pancakes and a hearty bowl of blueberry strawberry banana oatmeal which was so good. The entire meal we were just in awe of the dynamics here and the food was really good and impressive, even though we ordered simple breakfast items… Don’t worry, I’ll tell you more about Emily. She walked by us a few times smiling and enter acting with other tables. And then suddenly came over to fill our recently empty water (ya she’s good!) and politely looked me in the eye and inquired if I would like more water… Then turned to my friend and asked the exact same thing but it was so genuine. I’d hire Emily tomorrow, but it turns out her and her brother have it pretty good, as they get to collect on the tips :) Good job! Great success!

Finding a good place to eat lunch on a Sunday is always challenging but I found this café on Unilocal rated 5star so it caught my interest. This is the only business open on a Sunday in this shopping center so it was pretty easy to find the café.
Walking in I was a little confused cause no one really said anything so we just found a table and hoped for the best. It’s a small little café with a good ten table inside and a few table outside. Very modern looking with a mirror wall next to the tables. Interesting. All their specials are on the huge chalkboard.
The waitress came pretty quickly with the menu and took our drink orders. I started off with an iced latte. Which was really good. I ordered the three egg omelette with sausage and cheese with potatoes and sour dough toast. I wasn’t expecting too much cause it’s just an omelette but man was that good. Loved the sausage. Very flavorful and really enjoyed it. First time I could really say I was impressed with an omelette. It came with some shoestring potatoes which were really crisp and flavorful. They were pretty good but the toast. Really Doug. The toast. It came with their homemade jelly. Cherry jelly. Do I have to say anymore. I love cherry. It was so good. Chunks of cherries. It was so good. I finished the toast but just ate the rest of the jelly plain. It was that good.
My wife ordered spaghetti and meatballs. Wow. The meatballs were just the right size. Juicy. Tender. Really really good. My wife keep asking me to try the spaghetti but I declined but she kept on pushing it so I took a little Twirl and it was so good. I loved the marinara sauce. Never had a sauce like this. It was so good. My wife said that she could eat this every day. I would have to agree with her. It was outstanding. Her meal came with a side salad with Italian dressing. Really good dressing. Usually Italian always has a little too much vinegar for me but not this one. Perfect spices. Really enjoyed the salad.
So the service was outstanding. It took a little while for the kitchen to bring our food out but that’s okay. This is a mom and pop shop and I love to support these places. The mom is the waitress. Dad is at the counter and their son (8^th grade) is there to help clean tables and deliver food to the tables. Very cool family. Very friendly. Always kept tabs on us. Really enjoyed our meal. Outstanding.
At the end, we ordered a cherry turnover to go and I got home and couldn’t stand it and had to eat it. As you know I love cherries. It was so flaky. So good. Then I got to the cherry filling. So my gosh. Better than the cherry jelly. Yum yum good. Gosh darn it was so good.
So what’s not to like about this place. Good food. Good coffee. Good service. Mom and pop shop and such a warm and friendly atmosphere. I’ve got to come back again and try more of their food. I’m hooked. Loved it.

I’ve been here twice now and this is such a cute place. Small, family run business that seems to take great pride in their food and service.
Great coffee and the breakfast was fresh and yummy — especially the hash browns, which were finely shredded and crispy.
The only reason I’m rating 4 not 5 stars is because their pastries are a little more soft and doughy than I like. I prefer my croissants more buttery crisp on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside… you know, the kind that has a slight crunch when you bite in, but then almost melts in your mouth.
Love supporting small business so I’ll definitely return! I was impressed with their service and breakfast so I’m interested in giving their muffins and lunch items a try too.

Totally agree with the reviews saying this is a cute little hidden gem. Had this bookmarked on Unilocal due to all of the five star reviews and I am glad I finally checked it out today!
It is smaller than I anticipated and isn’t really near anything, just in a random strip mall. But it’s a good location! Was not crowded at all and I could tell a few people there were regulars there which was awesome. The people working there were welcoming. Had a good neighborhood coffee shop type feel. I decided on the veggie omelet without cheese and a side of the potatoes and rye toast. It also came with homemade jam! My boyfriend got an egg sandwich with bacon and cheese with hash browns on the side. My omelette was good, and there was the perfect amount of veggies in it! The toast was good, jam wasn’t really my thing but I thought it was cool it was made there. I just don’t like jam much in general. Potatoes were pretty good. My boyfriend pretty much inhaled his food and finished way before me which is rare! He loved the sandwich and hash browns. I actually tried his hash browns and liked them more than my potatoes surprisingly! Best part? It was super reasonable! Definitely one of the more affordable breakfasts him and I have had together! We were pleased and look forward to coming back to this cute place!

Wow! Been here many times and the service and food are a true first class experience! I love the breakfast croissants and the hash browns are so airy and light… the owner tells me he cuts them by hand into these strips! Labor intensive but wow what a unique texture. Love this place, let’s spread the word!

Great sandwiches 1^st time and had the chicken cutlet and ziti 2^nd trip. Both stellar like home in Boston’s north end were Benny learned his skills. Oh yea had a homemade cannoli to awesome
Don’t miss this place closes at 4 during week and 3 on weekend.

Since moving from Minneapolis (over a year and a half ago) I have been searching for a fantastic coffee shop that also serves snacks. The coffee had to be amazing, the staff had to be friendly and the food had to blow me away.
Noci is my place!
We had coffee, a waffle and a pesto and prosciutto panini. It was fantastic! The waffle came out a beautiful golden brown and include a large helping of fresh fruit. But don’t be alarmed it was the nasty stuff like cheap melon. It was fresh berries. The panini came with a massive helping of hearty fries. A perfect blend of euro meets american.
The best part of all was the coffee. We had iced coffee and the ice it was served over rivals sonics iconic ice! The coffee was brewed to absolute perfection. Bold and flavorful.
The staff was so sweet. It was the owner and his wife who were in there and they took the best care of us. I can’t wait to go back!

Their fresh cut Hash are my favorite and Im an avid bruncher!!!
Such a friendly service, everything is super fresh, starting with their salads, homemade Jelly… maybe the best!!!
(Very clean place)
you leave with smile on your face and a full belly! Also the prices are incredibly affordable.
Love this place! Definitely I’ll keep coming back for more!
P. S. For those bad reviews There is no waiter or hostess by the door waiting for you, and also is not a fast food restaurant. The 2 owners with their son teenager are the one always taking care of us, extremely friendly! they call almost everybody by their name, that is awesome!

Wonderful! My boyfriend and I ate here on an early Monday morning. Awesome food!!! Fresh fruit bowl was amazing. Normal sides of fruit are melons with maybe a berry of some sort but this fruit bowl was loaded with blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, kiwi, banana, and melons.
Thanks Unilocal for helping us find this gem! GREAT service too!

FINALLY — great espresso AND it’s affordable!!! Having been born and raised in Seattle, my «good coffee is life» mentality has ensured I seek out the best. I’ve tried all the local coffee places in a 10 mile radius (and of course the Starbucks chain) and this is bar-​none the best. Robust but not burnt, a hint of tang but not sour, just the right amount of water for that perfect flavor balance. If you love great espresso you MUST support this local gem — definitely my go-​to now! FYI: I got an iced double espresso (Americano) for $ 2.
They have a great selection of breakfast and lunch items — also reasonably priced — and delicious looking baked goodies too.
