Ravenheart of Sedona: Smoothies with a Twist

We recently picked up a couple of smoothies and a muffin at the one Sedona's main coffee shops, Ravenheart. Located next to New Frontiers natural foods store along 89A, Ravenheart generally has a lot of foot traffic and coffee sippers throughout the day, great for people watching and connecting with locals here in town.

As for the smoothies, we ordered strawberry, peach and candy apple (seasonal) varieties, all topped with whipping cream. The candy apple was true to its name, including its color (green) and caramel around the inside of the cup, which makes for a nice touch and added flavor. The strawberry and peach flavors are quite good. All are made with ice and a syrup that makes all the types pretty sweet to taste. If you prefer something not quite as sweet, I'd recommend the smoothies at New Frontiers which are made sans syrup and with organic fruit.

Ravenheart muffins tend to be very good as well. Our double-chocolate muffin (chocolate cake with chocolate chips) -- after all muffins are just bald cup cakes. We've also regularly have the raspberry chocolate chip version, which is really tasty.



In an upcoming review, we'll compare and contrast various coffees from shops in Sedona, including Ravenheart, Java Love Cafe, and Starbucks (within Safeway).
