Review The Newton - Phoenix

Super Cool Place to stop, shop and gather in Central Phoenix! Great place to pick up gifts... books... coffee.... or a beer... and then just kickback in their open space and enjoy a few moments relaxing.

Arizona Humane Society, which I am a member of, held an updated meeting there on the progress of the New 50 million dollar Papago park facility. The Newton so kindly hosts the meetings in their facility and they do an outstanding job. We are provided drinks and pastries, cookies, and breakfast breads. The staff at the Newton takes great care of us, and they have an outstanding book selection for sale. Check it out, there us something for everyone.

Interesting little kind of area. It's definitely worth stopping by and taking a look at the area is nice outside as well as inside parking's a little difficult but there's lots of extra around the side of the building.

Excellent. It has several departments. A library, for working with your laptop, and for eating and drinking. Beautiful

Great working space. The music is quiet, the tables are spread out nicely and there are many coffee and tea drinks to choose from. They have alternative milk options as well as vegan pastries

In the middle of the pandemic, our family had the heartbreaking task of farewelling a member of our family. We opted for a celebration of life ceremony. We chose the Newton, as it has: a cosy, inviting common room, with beautiful lighting (2 chandeliers & string lights); a fireplace and 2 large, well-placed TV screens for a slide show of photos; a speaker system to enable us to play our family member's favourite music; a remote mic for us to be able to share our memories and stories with all gathered; and the ability to support the celebration with a selection of appetizers, coffee/tea and bar service. Finally, their pricing was uncomplicated and sensible. The Newton's common room can be closed off for privacy. They supported a safe environment, with staff wearing masks and masks encouraged. The food was beautifully presented, good quality, and delicious. The celebration was well-supported by staff, and truly everything we hoped for. There was no additional charge for set-up time, and staff helped us with our nominated seating plan - providing the seating and table linens. There was no rush to have us exit at the end of our booked time, and we were able to ease into farewelling family and friends who attended. There was also no additional charge for the time we needed to clear the decorations we brought. Staff also helped with parcelling up any leftovers. In realizing our vision, the staff (particularly Kelsie our primary point-of-contact, Ryan their IT specialist, and the manager Van-Lam), were really there for us - respectful, entirely accommodating, and absolutely supportive. Other staff we spoke with when popping in prior to the celebration (Cameron comes to mind), were kind, fielded questions, and put us in touch with staff to facilitate our needs. I was able to visit the venue several times in advance; they enabled a dry-run of our music, the mic, and our photo slideshow; and they addressed my calls and emails in a timely way. Our family extends a deep, heartfelt thank you to The Newton, and especially their staff. We remain entirely grateful. Hard to wrap words around how much your support has meant to us at this time.

Has a very nice venue for small events, inside Changing Hands Bookstore,

Neat building. Wish it still had the garden shop but I'm sure another neat concept will be added

Really friendly staff. Good beer and wine selection. Great place for a midday stop to get away for a while.

Great space. Book store. Beer\coffee bar. And a nice restaurant. Good vibes.

My classical chamber ensemble, the Mill Ave Chamber Players, did a concert last week at the Newton. Not only is the space beautiful and adaptable to use in many different formations, but I can not say enough of how helpful Tanya and the staff were. It was a great space for our audience too: going to a concert, enjoying a glass of wine or beer AND browsing Changing Hands! We will definitely be back at the newton!

They have a wonderful event space at the Newton and the events contact, Tanya, is absolutely wonderful to work with. Everything was seamless, the food and drinks were great, plenty of parking, and the pricing is very reasonable. Would highly recommend!

The staff and space was exceptional! They made our event (Graduation) a beautiful and special experience. Staff were so helpful, professional, and thoughtful. I couldn't have been happier.

Awesome place to have a drink, enjoy the atmosphere, read a book, or grab a bite. I loved coming here to do my homework while having a glass of wine.

Our company highly recommends the Newton as a venue for your next event. Tanya's attentiveness and consideration made the food and space planning easy. The Newton on Camelback is at an easy-to-reach location from all over the valley, with plenty of parking, and it's clean and attractive. The food was yummy. You can't go wrong!

I always love your all of chili and macaroni and cheese they are to die for, the bomb. .... 💁🏻🙆🏻🙏🏼

Cool place for a special event, plus a great craft beer bar AND a Changing Hands bookstore too!

The food was good here. We had the roast beef poorboy and again it was good but not great. We ordered the fried green tomatoes as a side. They were $10 so they better have been good. They were good and they were sitting on a bed of spicy pimento cheese (excellent). My frustration was that there were only five thin slices of tomatoes. I thought we would have at least seven or eight based on the $10 price. After all, how much can a tomato cost? After tip my bill was $25 for a lunch that was good but not $25 worth. I won't be back. There are just too many other good places I can spend less money, especially for lunch, and have a better meal.

The best place, food and amazing fresh coffee, love the sea salt chocolate chips, and changing hands bookstore and gifts and restaurant.

The place is nice, the staff is friendly, but you needed a chain saw to cut through the pork tenderloin, which arrived stone cold, doubt I will eat there again

I love the beautiful view and the cool retro looking. We experience a great customer service, this establishment offers a restaurant, bookstore and venue. I loved it, We had a great time !!!

The ambiance was great. Our party was large, 16+ people, we were seated quickly, menu was explained, I had the gumbo it was delicious. My daughter had the ribs which she loved, my son had the chicken, it was okay

I was here for little festival type event. Different vendors were selling their items. Very tight space to have event, thought books at actual location were a bit over priced for a second hand type book store. Did not stay to try restaurant attached to store. We did try some pastries they were selling, those were excellent.

The Newton is a great addition to the neighborhood. So glad Changing Hands opened here, despite the fact that so many of the chain bookstores are struggling and closing branches. Have shopped at Southwest Gardener for years but am glad they are now closer to my home. Housing these proven retail stores with the new Southern Rail was a winning combination for each of them.

This is where my great uncle, Jay Newton, had his famous restaurant. Jay Newton was my grandmother's brother.

Hello friends & family. Please like The Newton if you want to keep up to date with progress on our 2nd location. BTW - We will release the name and concept next Wed, May 8th...stay tuned.

I like very interest enjoy the view the book store, hope to go again.
