Rattlenhum — Restaurant in Sedona

I am a firm believer in supporting local and always look for great little coffee shops, this one missed the mark for me and my family. We love coffee and always order extra shots. After my 62 year old mother ordered a carmel macchiato and was swiftly scolded for assuming she was ordering something like Starbucks we should have turned around and walked away. Instead she changed her order to an iced vanilla latte which my 65 year old Aunt also order. Myself and my friend each ordered large 4 shot black and white mochas and were promptly corrected that we most likely wanted lattes. Listen, I can be snooty about coffee, but this was just rude. If you don't want our business just say so. I informed the barista I didn't care what he called it, I just want 4 shots. He made me a 4 shot iced latte sans any sweetener. I went with this as it was drinkable but I could barely taste coffee. The 2 vanilla lattes however tasted of sweet vanilla milk at best, not coffee flavor at all. I did go back in and the barista did add 2 more shots to both of the vanilla lattes which was nice, but they still barely had a hunt of coffee. I did watch the shots be pulled and they were for sure much smaller than one I'm used to. Bottom line skip this place. However the Italian restaurant across the parking lot was delicious the night before and I would highly recommend the...

Overall: I give this place three stars, there's nothing special about their coffee or their service. I debated adding an extra star but only for the rustic aesthetic of their patio and the view!

Customer service: The time it took to get to the front of the line was a bit excessive. There were only three people in front of us who ordered one drink each, and one ordered a pastry with their iced tea. It took about 10 minutes. The baristas weren't very warm and came off a bit unsure of their POS system.

Food: We didn't order any food, but the pastries looked delicious! I'm pretty well-versed in coffees all over the Phoenix valley and work in the coffee industry. This caramel almond milk latte...well, it tasted as if I had gotten steamed almond milk with caramel coffee-flavored syrup. The black iced tea was super cloudy and tasted like water.

Environment: As I said, gorgeous view of the creek and mountains! They had some wonderful seating and movie theatre-style seats which really made the view all the more enjoyable.

Can't say I'd go here again. But it was a nice place to visit to enjoy the...

Fantastic views. Fantastic food. Friendly and informative staff. Reasonable prices. Must. Check. Out! I had the crumble cake and a cordata. Absolutely recommend the quiche and iced chai latte which I tried from another plate. The cordata was an espresso with just enough milk to stabilize it. Apparently straight espresso is only ‘good’ for the first 15 or so seconds after pulling it. Again, informative staff. My preference was for the iced chai latte I tried which was slightly sweet and spicy while providing a much needed cool in the Sedona heat. The quiche had a light, flaky crust and smooth egg filling with spinach and feta layered on top. Served hot, it was one of the best quiches I’ve had. Crumble cake was too cakey - not enough crumble. Overall, Creekside Coffee is a must stop by for breakfast establishment for their affordability, great food, friendly staff, and gorgeous views from the...
