Good day to you Yelpers! Now, if you want breakfast or a delicious lunch!!! This is the for sure spot to dine at. Great customer service. Great food and great place. Seating is a little tight but made it work... loved the bar set up. This is a for sure spot to check out and I will definitely be back! You must try those margaritas. Thank you 5th Ave!!!
My mom and I came here for breakfast last week. It's a decent place. Food was good. The girl was a good server. Our only thing was that this place was so cold it was uncomfortable.
This cozy restaurant/bar has decent breakfast fare. I enjoyed having the three french toast breakfast with eggs bacon and fruit. The service was decent and I had the coffee refilled. Overall decent place for a quick breakfast.
Came to this cafe, which is directly across the street from St. Joseph's hospital, to grab lunch. The parking lot in front is tight, but there is a sign saying there is more parking in the back. It's a cute little mom and pop place with a couple of tables for larger groups, and a couple of rows of booths. You can also sit at the counter. They have paintings by local artists that you can purchase, and a little shop (kind of just a big alcove) off to the side with some cute clothes, shoes, and purses. There is a jazz theme, with a collection of musical instruments used as decor. The people who work there were very nice. I did not order ahead, but it took less than 10 minutes to get my lunch. I ordered the pot roast sandwich with onion rings. By the time I got back to the hospital with my lunch, everything was kind of room temperature, but still good. The onion rings were breaded in the crumb kind of breading, rather than the tempura-style batter. They were good. My sandwich was huge--a hoagie roll with shredded beef in brown beef gravy, with lettuce and tomato on the side. It was also good, and enough food to carry over into dinner. Overall it was a pretty good lunch. It is a decent option if you need to be at St Joseph's and just can't have one more hospital cafeteria meal.
This was a super cute hole-in-the-wall diner and I really wanted to like it. The jazz music and cozy interior was really welcoming, and there was ample seating when we went on a Friday at 9AM. However, that's about as much allure as this place has to it. We were directed to sit wherever we wanted, so we picked one of many open, clean booths. It took maybe 10 minutes for us to even get a menu and initial drink order in (including for just water). We ordered: top of the morning omelette w/ sourdough and crispy hashbrowns, a smaller portion w/ chicken and eggs sunny side up, an avocado toast (special), and a caramel coffee latte. Listen. I get that we are in the desert--I really do!--but why was the food here SO DRY?!? The bread for the toast was clearly dry, and it tasted nothing like sourdough. My omelette was dry. The chicken filet my friend had looked like chicken jerky. And of all the things avocado toast can be...the one at 5th Avenue Cafe ended up being bland and underwhelming. If only we had a solid latte to wash down the disappointment. Unfortunately, the latte took 40 minutes to arrive at our table, and it wasn't until we were done eating. As I write this, we finally received our check. We have been done eating for 20 minutes now. In total, we have been stuck in this cafe for about 90 minutes. 2 stars for the cutesy decor and warm vibes--it's an okay spot if you have all day to waste away in a cafe, and if you are eating just to eat (not for enjoyment).
The environment is great. Clean and inviting. Unfortunately the Biscuits and gravy are scary bad. You can make your own by purchasing a bag of precooked Biscuits from a gas station and a packet of gravy mix, then take the gravy packet to the restroom and mix a little warm tap water in.
Had some out of town family staying nearby this place and wanted to get together for breakfast before they left, so we picked this place as it had decent reviews..... Fun atmosphere, VERY good service and the Food was too! I had the special, Chorizo Crepes, something that you would not normally think of doing, but it was excellent. And the 'regular fare' did not disappoint either. They even has raisin bread, which I had not had in a LONG time!! Stop by if you are anywhere near here!!!
Started by opening my bag to find a dirty napkin, yuck. Asked for cheese and onion in my eggs, got them dry. Small portion. Then I asked for salt and she wouldn't give me anymore than when came in the utensils, small thing but the bland food could've used it. Also updated menu upload as the prices are definitely higher than the old ones that have been previously posted.
Super cute cafe/diner. The staff is always so incredibly welcoming and attentive. They have tasty breakfast eats and an amazing menu for lunch and dinner. Its a neighborhood staple
Fairly good sized place that appeared clean. Upon entering, i was immediately greeted by the staff. It was still early (only 1/2 hour after opening for the day) so the place was not packed, but did start to fill up after about 8:30 AM. Our waitress was fairly attentive and took our orders. I opted for the vegetable omelet w/cottage cheese as my side and sourdough toast. They food was prepared fairly quickly. It was a good size portion and judging by my other friends' plates, you won't go away hungry. Generally, the staff is friendly and courteous.
Came in for the first time today to meet a new colleague for food. There's ample parking in back. It's a quaint restaurant & the music playing in the background is relaxing. Kind of like a low key soundtrack for life. LOL. I was able to grab a booth & then waited for my colleague & her hubby to join me. I ordered chicken chilaquiles with an extra egg since it "only" comes with 2. My dining companions ordered the French toast & a burrito of some sort. I forgot which one. It seemed like ages for our food to come. Like seriously, a long time for our food. I don't know if it was my food or theirs but it did seem as though a few people who were seated after us got their food before us. Maybe I'm wrong, but it was a while, I know for sure. The food arrived & it took a few times for the syrup to be requested for it to be delivered. Seemed odd since it's a standard French toast & the syrup should have come out before or at the same time. I won't speak to their food beyond the syrup because I forget to ask but I can speak to what I ordered. The eggs were scrambled a bit harder than I would have liked. Their wasn't as much cheese as I had hoped. Those things aside the verde sauce was good, a little baby kick but good. I did enjoy this dish & would come back & order it again. I'd probably be mindful & ask for the eggs to be cooked a little less hard & more cheese. I would say go on down & check it out.

3/28/26: overall, a solid four-star rating. Drinks: nothing fancy, just went with Cokes & waters. Food: mushroom Swiss burger w/ fries, cowboy breakfast, and a cinnamon roll. The tortilla w/ the breakfast was hot & so delicious, as was the other food items. The exception was the cinnamon roll; it was a bit too dry. Service: it was good, had a couple different gals help us out with drinks & the food. The cafe was not overly crowded while we were there. Oh, they had a gentleman there playing the guitar. That was a nice touch. Parking: if you're brave, there's parking on the north side, backing out onto Thomas Rd. Yikes. We won't do that again. Otherwise, there's a large lot on the south side of the building, way safer to exit. :-) read more

Errol and Dawn White shifted Upton's/5th Ave to the jazz format. When Anna took over, she kept the menu, and added specialties rooted in foods from the Southern Americas. Her roots are Peruvian, her training classical, and she's the Sunday Chef. Anna and family upgraded the sound system, upgraded to a more contemporary jazz, rehung the posters and art while bringing more of their sensibilities. Food is very good, pricing is excellent. read more

I ordered from 5th avenue cafe about a week ago and was so excited to see chile en nogada on the menu just to be saddened when I opened my to-go container. This is not at all what a chile en nogada is supposed to look like. Where is the ground meat? But most importantly where is the pomegranate? That's essential in this dish! The rice was very bland and the food, well.. the picture speaks for itself. It was a waste of $18 but my own fault for ordering Mexican food at an American diner. read more

Oh man... If you haven't heard of this place you are missing out! This place is so cozy. The decor is simple and the music playing is relaxing. The you ladies that took care of us were super sweet. And of course the food was like being at home. I would have taken more pics but but I was having breakfast with my dad. Try it! read more

If you're not eating here you're missing out. Great food! The skillet scrambles, the waffles, pancakes, and chicken fried steak are just amazing. The staff is soooo friendly and the owners are always working hard. The place is set up for social distance and the table smelled so lean when we sat down. Seriously I wish I could eat here everyday. Please go support this wonderful eatery! read more

I will definitely comeback!!! The service was fast and friendly. Has an old school diner feel which was cool. read more

JUST HORRIBLE!!!! If I could give 0 stars I would my son was over and ordered us breakfast, if I had known he was ordering from this awful place we would probably have had a great breakfast instead we were only delivered 1 of our meals and that wasn't right-hot-good. I'm saying DINERS BEWARE DON'T GO or ORDER from this place YOU WILL be disappointed!!! PLEASE NOTE: apparently this is under new ownership and unlike past owners these do not care to respond to the reviews so shows how little they care about customer services SHAME!! read more

This is my second time eating at 5th Ave. I had the Cochinita Pibil, it is beef cooked in a banana leaf with a side of mashed potatoes. They have a different side you can substitute for the potatoes but I am a sucker for mashed. Savory and delicious! The dish cost $15.99, worth every penny! They even have a kid's menu. Give it a try! read more

I didn't have any concerns during this visit which was great. The wheat toast was a multi grain variety which was a nice surprise. This cafe reminded me of some of the cafes back home in Minnesota. There are so many great choices it's so difficult to choose. I'll definitely have to come back. I settled on the one egg with meat choice. It came with hash browns and toast for a reasonable price. Everything tasted great and it wasn't over seasoned which allowed me to salt and pepper my items to my liking. I really recommend this place and by the looks of it, it seems the locals really enjoy the food as well. read more
