A new kind of coffee shop has stirred up a buzz in Old Town Scottsdale, nestled off Fifth Avenue and Scottsdale Road. Three Beans Cafe specializes in coffee-inspired cocktails and aims to bring new life to the classic coffee house experience with nostalgic decor, unique drink combinations and classic non-alcoholic coffee favorites.
Co-owners Eric Ferrone and Ed Oakes have worked together for over two decades, working their way up from barbacks to bartenders, then security and management roles and eventually operating partners of other restaurant groups. Their leap into entrepreneurship began about two and a half years ago and culminated with the opening of Three Beans Cafe on Dec. 11, 2024.
Thanks to their extensive professional experience and guidance from industry peers, they’ve confidently avoided challenges typical of a first-time restaurateur.
“Having a good foundation of people that we've met along the way, and slowly piecing that together to be prepared for this opportunity, has provided us a pretty good safety net,” Ferrone says.
"Some think of it as present, past, and future. And the idea behind that is you eat just two of the beans, present and future, and you leave the past behind,” Feronne says. “For others, they think of it as health, wellness and happiness.”
