We walked into Cafe Ted after spending a good portion of the afternoon at the hair salon. We happened to be in that neck of the woods when my friend suggested we go to her favorite cafe. We made the drive to Pinnacle Peak, and parked in the parking lot of the Citadel and made our way to have lunch.

The decor of Cafe Ted is very unique. The painting on the walls seemed to be hand done and very time consuming, as well as the furniture selection, showcasing some of the most unique pieces I've ever seen. Walking into this cafe, you feel like you're entering another world.

We received our menus and ice water very quickly. Not being able to make up our minds, the waitress indulged us with some suggestions, and was very accommodating to my overwhelming amount of pickiness. The food was home style, my sandwich being filled with thick cuts of tomato, turkey and cheese, along with delicious bacon and sourdough bread that seemed to be cut off of a fresh loaf.

Cafe Ted is a must stop if you're in the area. Heck, even if you're not, it's worth the trip. Go between 1-5, during quiet time.

Cafe Ted is located at 8700 E. Pinnacle Peak Rd. in Scottsdale.
