It's seat yourself, order and pay at the counter so be sure to grab a table first then order or you'll be forced to take out.
After you order it takes about 1hr for the food to arrive. RIDICULOUS. We went on the weekend and maybe it was just an anomaly being busy. No coffee available for a while. Only 2 workers taking orders and cleaning tables. Brought us someone else's order to begin and then took it back. Terrible operation and service at this place.
Would NEVER come back here.

Amazing, everyone here is so sweet. They were jammed packed today yet the staff didn't fail to impress and give the best service. I love this spot so much and the food never disappoints, definitely the best French toast and huevos ranchos we've ever had. If I could give it a higher rating I would, 1000/10.

I was visiting Phoenix from LA and came across this local joint. Ordered for pick up, and I had to go back twice because they forgot to add to my order. The food was not great, everything was dry and tasteless. My 8yr old son didn't even enjoy the pancakes. Denny's has better pancakes! The pictures on this Yelp are misleading. The sausage was hard and the eggs were like carton scrambled eggs. Pancakes were tasteless, topped with old frozen strawberries, not even fresh. I don't know how they have over 4 stars.

Whether you order sweet or savory this little restaurant is a great spot for breakfast and lunch not to mention the service was exceptional. They recently opened up this location and made it larger for more seating. So glad they are doing well and growing. I can't speak enough on the exceptional service!

We were looking for a place to meet up with our son for his birthday breakfast. He recently moved to Tempe and this place popped up as a recommendation. So glad we went! The best service was extended the moment we walked in. The food was delicious (especially the churro french toast)! Our son enjoyed his breakfast burrito and we enjoyed the time together as a family! Our daughter is ready for another visit and more French toast!

Owner personally takes orders and has been in everytime I've been there. We love this hidden gem, the coffee is AMAZING. My girlfriend also got the hot chocolate which was one of the best hot chocolates I've ever tasted in my life. The food is also unbelievable can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Highly recommend the breakfast burrito or a crepe!

Let me start off by saying, the music in this place is top tier. Whoever is in charge of the playlist deserves a raise. Another thing, the service it great. Friendly staff and it feels homey. We have only one complaint... the chips used for the chilaquiles is NOT it. Think of Mission brand triangle tortillas chips Please use real fried tortillas. The salsa used for the chilaquiles is REALLY good. But it's completely ruined by the fake tortilla chips they use. This place has potential. Just needs a few tweaks to the menu.

What a tremendous place, everything about it is charming. The staff was as wonderful as the food. Take your significant other, a family member, or just go yourself because this is the place for people who enjoy the indulgent.
Edit: I’ve now had the pleasure of enjoying this place multiple times and not only have they expanded to accommodate more but the service has continued to be nothing short of excellent. Officially my favorite breakfast place in Phoenix.

Had breakfast here the other day and had such a great time! The food is totally delicious, not to mention how nice the staff is and how quick and efficient the service is. I know I'm going to be back here, everything on the menu just looked so good that I want to go back and try everything. Definitely recommend this spot for some great breakfast here in Tempe!

Hole in the wall, almost didn't see it pulling up. But totally totally worth it. Very friendly owner, drinks are insanely good... new place for me even if it's just coffee or a smoothie.
Not a single complaint. Well priced, friendly and everything ordered was excellent. I got an iced espresso w/Carmel and it was fantastic. the chai smoothie was very different to other normal chai drinks but in a wonderful way.
I'll be coming back and you should be coming in!

I ordered the strawberry and cream french toast. It looked so good from the pictures other customers posted online that I had to give it a try. When my plate came to the table I was very pleased to see that mine looked just as good as the pictures I'd seen (maybe even better). I would definitely go back to order it again.

Great spot. Love the people, great atmosphere and hospitality. Came in for the first time with my family this morning. Had a waffle with mixed berries on top and a side of hash browns, both were delicious. My little sister got a shake and loved it. Great music playing, definitely check it out if you're looking for something unique and looking to support local business!

I am very satisfied with this restaurant. Let's start with the customer service. Above and beyond is a good summary. They were very attentive to all the tables and made sure we had what we needed. Each of us ordered something different and I'll tell you each item was cooked perfectly. I had the Nutella waffle with a side of hash browns and eggs. So perfectly cooked and full of flavor. If you are in the area give this place a try.

So glad I tried this place! Had to have a meet-up with my boss. She suggested this place that was between the distance of our homes. What a great little place. We walked into a super-clean cafe with awesome chalk art and menu boards. The gentleman who was there greeted us and treated us like royalty. He let us look over the menu and we went up to give our orders.
He took our orders and repeated them back to us perfectly. Then he delivered everything super-quick. And it tasted very good. Nice clean flavors with perfect temperatures. He closed at 2 but let us stay and chat while he quietly cleaned

We've been here 3x and they continue to impress me. The crepes are amazing. The pancakes and waffles are to die for. I haven't had chilaquiles like that since I was last in Mexico City. The coffee and teas are delicious and their boba teas are a nice compliment as well.
The owner is so professional and very kind. He runs a tight ship. The menu has such a great mix of all different types of foods. They get really creative with all of the different flavors and mixes you can get for your sweets. Cake batter crepes. Horchata smoothie. Churro French toast. Need I say more?! Give them a try

Food: 3/5 Very nice selection of sweet options. We ordered banana nut pancakes, churro French toast, eggs, bacon, and hash browns. Presentation was very good for the main dishes but no so much for the sides. Main dishes were good along with the hash browns, the other sides were average. Coffee was too bitter for my taste and temperature was not consistent (Luke warm and then burning hot)
Service: 3.5/5 Counter service (order at counter, food brought to table) Friendly and great overall service! Coffee was quite strong but there was no hesitation to make us a new batch. Self serve coffee and soft

The food was delicious! My only qualm is that the French toast leaves you wanting to spend more and if you did you probably would not regret it. I loved my chai latte that also had boba at the bottom of it. My entire meal was so flavorful. The place is like a hidden gem because it’s tucked away in this little plaza by it is well kept and very clean. You will enjoy your dining experience!

First of all, the name is just too great! This place was full of people when we came and yet we were served quickly and the food was excellent. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito which came with a heaping side of salsa and a side of hash browns. He loved it (and we have especially high standards when it comes to burritos haha). I had the banana nut pancakes and they were so sweet that I didn't even need to add syrup! They were drizzled with sweet cream and a hardy amount of nuts. We also ordered the peppermint mocha blended and it tasted great!

This should be your go-to brunch spot.
So many brunch places don't need to do a good job because brunch is so trendy right now (see hours long wait at Snooze AM which is just a glorified Denny's). Sweet Dessert Cafe (SDC) has great food made and served by the owners and they care that you're having a good experience.
I ordered the Churro Heaven Waffle. It's a plate sized fresh waffle. Not at all soggy or freezer burned like you get at some industrial kitchens. It comes with a cinnamon churro glaze and whipped cream. Very tasty. I would order it again. The cinnamon flavor could

I returned thinking it was the same food and the same owners. However it was not the experience I remember. I did not enjoy my chilaquiles , they were made with tortilla chips and red salsa. When I took my plate back because I had ordered my chilaquiles without eggs and my plate has sunny side eggs.
I don't like sunny side eggs. The owner or supervisor treated me so unruly and ill-mannered. The taste of the food was dull and the bacon was very dry. Not to mention my caramel latte had no taste. I am not sure what happened.

Found the cutest little breakfast joint that had everything my little heart desired on their menu! Chilaquiles, crepes, french toast, eggs benedict, pancakes, boba drinks and more Coffee and fountain drinks are unlimited and self serve. The chilaquiles had an amazing salsa and I asked for both red and green. I want to throw out there that I had never seen a more perfect over easy egg Their churro french toast was thee best I have ever had with their artisan bread and wonderful cinnamon. My mango crepes were light and divine! Service was great and friendly. Definetly might become part of their

The eggs are... boring. Very boring. They were barely seasoned and even the circular shape and lack of color (they looked like egg whites) made them unappetizing. It really felt like a boring side dish.
However, EVERYTHING else we had was delicious. I loved the chilaquiles, although the dish could have used more color. I loved the crepes even more- I could eat them every day!

My friend and I came on a Sunday afternoon, just a little before 3 (an hour before they close). We were immediately greeted and instructed to sit wherever we felt comfortable, and to come up and order when ready.
We were the only ones dining in, except for a couple that came in a little later. The owner's sons(?) were playing on their iPads/phones at a loud volume, although we did not mind. As we were the only ones dining in, we overheard the owners briefly started arguing about the new way to make smoothies..awkward and tense. The owner taking orders was not wearing a mask (and she later
