    Hatch Chile Omelet
    Stephen L.

    You can't find Alo Cafe easily. That may be a good thing helping preserve the character, charm, and specialness of this place. It's worth the hunt. Its foremost assets are its people and its recipes. A genuine, friendly waitress greats, seats, and serves you. You may find the genuine, friendly owner sitting at a table and ready to engage you in good conversation, too. The hatch chile omelette was wonderful. It had a unique caramelized, crunchy cheddar cheese crust. It came topped with tasty pico de gallo. Inside it had a creamy, yummy sauce. They provided wonderful hot sauce and other unique condiments to enhance to the omelette's flavor. You should try this place. Don't let the basic decor fool you. Alo's people and flavor make the place.

    Owner has to be a New Yorker!

    So glad we found this hidden gem while staying in Scottsdale. I had the chilequilas it was so good! My husband had the waffle christo which was exceptional. I had to get a few manhattan specials to go. Would love to try their lunch

    Croissant Cristo
    Nikolai T.

    Cute locally owned breakfast spot. The inside is small but it's definitely much appreciated if you're looking for a more intimate setting. I ordered the Croissant Cristo which was pretty good. Nice place to try out if visiting from out of town like I did.

    My wife said this was excellent

    My wife and I were staying about a block away at the Valley Ho Resort. We found Alo Cafe through Yelp. It was within walking distance, so we thought we would give it a try. We are so glad we did. We ended up having breakfast there for both mornings we were in town. It's a little out of the way and easy to miss because it's essentially in an alley. The original building obviously had new condos built all around it. It's literally across the street from Historic Scottsdale. They have inside dining, but the dining room is pretty small. They have a very pleasant and large patio dining area. Everything is made fresh. No microwaves. The menu is all original, not just the same stuff you find at brunch places all across the U.S.. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. We didn't have to wait very long to receive it. I'm a YouTube Creator and I liked this place so much, I made a video about it.

    Havana latte
    Colton G.

    Came here with my beautiful girlfriend on the morning of Parade del Sol which is the annual festival here in Old Town Scottsdale in which they block off part of Scottsdale Rd. and have a massive parade through the streets. This is far enough away from the crowded other end of Old town that I figured would suffice as a solid breakfast option for us for the morning, and they delivered, as I would've hoped. I've been here once before just to stop by and check it out and try their coffee, but this is a very small restaurant with a quiet little patio. It's nestled in behind the Cornish Pasty Co but it is an Old town Scottsdale gem. I ordered a Havana latte, iced, which was delicious and great option for those seeking a sweet coffee to start their morning. My girlfriend ordered the 2 scrambled eggs with potatoes and sub French toast, and I ordered the hatch chile omelet. My omelet was delicious and I really liked how well seasoned and cooked the potatoes were. They were delicious! So was the omelet but I thought the potatoes were the most delicious thing on the plate. The service here was nice and attentive and the server's recommendations were helpful. We did have 2 different ladies serving us but it all worked out. Very quiet spot though which is nice. Plenty of flowing conversations and some nice outside scenery. We'd come back!

    Monte Cristo with a side of Bacon
    Caroline E.

    Stopped here for brunch on a Sunday morning around 10:30, we had to wait about 15 mins for our table. We got a Monte Cristo and a side of bacon to share. I've never had a monte cristo before but this one was delicious especially with the jelly it comes with! The bacon was cooked perfectly. We sat outside because we had our dog (dog friendly patio) but we did have a lot of flies all around us the whole time which wasn't ideal.

    Alo Signature Corn Flake Crusted French Toast - incredible!!
    Becky W.

    We were greeted at the door with a friendly smile and welcome! Amazing start to a fantastic find on Yelp! Our first choice had over an hour wait so we picked Alo next. At first glance, you will think hmmmm kind of a small cafe but remember these are the gems! Service was excellent and fast. Ordered our drinks then food. Horchata iced coffee and orange juice were excellent! Our food was fresh and filling! Their house special French toast- was a homerun! Tender inside crispy and crunchy outside...where can I find this in Tucson???? Our side of eggs so fresh and perfectly cooked! My daughter had the tropical French toast and she said it was so filling and fruit was amazing! My son had the hatch green chili omelette. Opened up his sinuses nicely if you know what I mean! The crema inside was so flavorful, super special addition. He really enjoyed it! Thanks for a fantastic breakfast!

    TORTILLA ESPANOLA (signature dish of Spain),
    Michele G.

    If you have ever been to NY, you will certainly recognize the umbrellas. My son ordered the Sabrett hot dogs with sauerkraut and mustard. They were perfect. The rest of ate regular breakfast items. Portions were large, food was fresh and tasty and service was excellent. An added bonus- it was cool enough to sit on the patio.

When we arrived, it was a bit confusing, as there wasn't really any signage or staff who were willing to assist in directing us to the the place - the hostess at the elements restaurant was snippy and was just rude for no reason! The setup at jade bar was fine; sitting by the windows is your best bet to get a nicer view; however, there was a wedding that was taking place outside, so we couldn't access to have the option to do an al fresco experience. There was no hostess, and the waitstaff seemed to be limited; we didn't know this was just a 'walk-in and grab a seat at any table' type of a setup - We ordered: +the Truffle Tots - did not expect what this dish was; the romesco sauce was just not good +a California maki roll - the imitation crab meat had an off taste to them, and it wasn't tightly rolled so everything fell apart +and, the Chicken Wings - this was covered in some type of a sticky/hoisin type of a sauce; the chicken was NOT cooked through, and we thought we were going to get sick We ordered the Blueberry Dreams (prepared with buffalo trace bourbon, lillet rouge, blueberry lemon, honey, and ginger) and the Spicy Margarita (prepared with deleon blanco tequila, cucumber, jalapeno, and lime) - both were made very strong and were aesthetically pleasing. The seating area and the chairs could have been wiped down and cleaned better; we noticed stains on the furniture. We weren't checked-in often throughout our experience; we would have liked refills, ordered additional drinks, etc., but it wasn't hapepning. You can pop out through the doors at the back of elements for a better view of the mountains, if you wish. We're glad to try this place out, but not worth going out of your way for it. +underwhelming HH options +inattentive/rude staff +located at the Sanctuary

The hotel provides 10$ valet service which I was blown away by the cost because many other fancy locations charge a lot more in my area. We dropped off our vehicle then walked towards the beautiful door with the name of the restaurant illuminated. As we entered we were greeted by a beautiful wine display and a beautiful host check-in area. The place had lots of neon lights that complemented the stone and wood. We approached the bar and sat on some very comfortable barstools. The bathrooms were incredibly clean and had a very modern look. Everything was beautiful! We had the pleasure of meeting Caleb who was new to the restaurant and he gave us a rundown of the menu. He recommended a few items and was very patient with us because brunch is a ritual and can take a while to decide especially when everything looked so amazing on the menu. We finally decided on Eggs Benedict and as we were looking for other options Anthony who was extremely knowledgeable, judging by how well he knew the menu and talked about the items, was a veteran and very skilled. He went over the menu in detail and helped us narrow down our options and we chose the frittata. The eggs Benedict was a work of art and the flavors were beautiful. The eggs were perfectly poached and the sauce was better than any sauce I have had in a while. It was rich and creamy and had the perfect texture. The ciabatta that everything was on was perfectly toasted and had that beautiful char flavor. The spinach was fresh and green and still had a crunch to it. The frittata was perfectly made and was fluffy and had fresh arugula on top. It was very soft and not dry and had a perfect shape. The chef blended the flavors perfectly allowing you to taste every ingredient in it. No ingredient overpowered the other and everything was in perfect harmony to excite the taste buds. Anthony and Caleb came back to check on us and we tried their refreshing spritz that was highly recommended. While sipping on our spritz we spoke to Anthony and he gave us some fabulous ideas about where to go and things to do and we decided to go to the civic center and old town area that he recommended and it was amazing. We then asked Anthony and Caleb for a menu. We were full but the food was so good we wanted to try more and they recommended the calamari. The calamari practically made me cry. It was not oily like you get it at most restaurants and the breading was perfect it was light and fluffy and appeared to be floating like clouds on each other. It was not chewy but perfectly tender with the right amount of zesty that brought back memories of being in Sicily. We ordered some prosecco and enjoyed it as Caleb gave us some recommendations on other restaurants we should try while we were in town, which we added to our list. Calobe and Anthony were very helpful and a prime example of what makes a business prosper. Taking care of the people is not only serving food and making drinks. It is about connecting with them even beyond what the restaurant has to offer. We were so sad we were not able to go back for dinner but because of the amazing staff, we will be coming back to sexy roman again. Thank you, Chef, for your amazing food, and thank you Anthony and Caleb for your level of professionalism and the fantastic customer service!
