    Many years later was back to try the Thai spice chicken wrap. Just thought that the wrap would be better with hot chicken breast, not deli chicken. Produce was good, but didn't go well in that wrap.

    Turkey Sandwich - close-up detail

    Probably one of the best sandwich places I've been to in a long time. Absolutely delicious, deadass. This sandwich shop was very clean, bright, with the staff being so welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere being so friendly, and the food came out so quickly. So fresh, so full of flavor, and it only left me wanting more, which is a great thing because it'll keep me coming back. if you are feeling like you want a deliciously-cold sandwich, on a hot Summer day, this is the place to go.

    Perfect spot for a quality hearty breakfast and a decent latte! The guy behind the counter was great too. He says he didn't squeeze the OJ, but someone certainly did because it was delicious!

    Had a business meeting here and it was perfect. Quiet, plenty of room and the sandwich was good and basic. Next time will branch out and order something bigger and interesting.

    Roasted turkey perfection

    I still stop by Bertha's when I'm in the area but it's under new ownership now so my beloved turkey sandwich isn't as good as it used to be. The turkey that they used to roast in-house with rosemary now tastes more like ordinary turkey lunch meat. The bacon now tends to have a lot of fat on it and they're not as liberal with the pesto mayo. On a final sad note, the complimentary chocolate cookie isn't the same: it's now dry and chalky. I'll keep my review at four stars for now, as the sandwich is still better than many, but they're going the wrong direction.

    Pesto pasta salad and potato salad
    Sara M.

    We stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered a few things. We got a club sandwich, Oreo bar, pesto pasta salad and potato salad. The sandwich was toasted and had plenty of fixings. It was simple but delicious. The pesto pasta salad was super tasty but the potato salad, while good tasted like it was from the grocery store. The Oreo cream bar was dreamy and delicious. This is a quick no frills spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was friendly and food was good!

    We're all too familiar with the Over Easy's and Hash Kitchens of the world, and while great, we expect them to be. Their ubiquitous nature, while not entirely fair to them, makes one take them for granted. That being said, maybe the scorn isn't entirely unearned, as the bigger a chain is, the less of a personal touch they potentially have. To that end, I'm more than a little fortunate to have found perhaps Phoenix's best kept breakfast secret, Bertha's Cafe! Bertha's has been here right under many of our unsuspecting noses for the better part of 20 years, surviving all the shenanigans of the aught years and more recently Covid. Bertha herself built up quite the reputation for the restaurant focusing on a customer forward and quality ingredient laden home cooking approach coupled with reasonable prices, and impeachable cooking expertise. My brother Steve and I, stumbled upon it doing a Google search upon finding out that they shuddered the doors of the Over Easy on Camelback and 24th St. of alternate breakfast spots. After agreeing to try it, and not expecting much, we were immediately and warmly greeted by Mary, whose family now owns the place after purchasing it from Bertha after she tapped out to enjoy other endeavors. Many folks would start casting side eyes after a sea change of management, but I'm happy to say the reputation that was built carries over into the new ownership through a redoubling down on all the core values that Bertha painstakingly implemented. Mary suggested the Chorizo burrito. Being no stranger to this at other places, I was pleasantly surprised by how refreshingly different in the best possible way, this one was, exuding such delicious flavor with it's perfect marriage of Chorizo, cheese and potatoes. Paired with a zesty but not overly spicy Salsa, you'll wonder where it went, you'll eat it so fast. With a large breakfast and lunch menu and a veritable goldmine of heavenly pastries, brownie and other dream bars, this diamond in the crowded breakfast rough is just begging to have it's untold treasures discovered by Phoenicians and weary tourists alike. So that hard earned cash you were going to give to the major breakfast chains? You would do very well to hand it to this hard working and well deserving family instead, whose sole purpose is to reacquaint you with homemade food prepared with that which is missing from the faceless giants. Care, comfort and quality customer service. All the staff is amazing, from the rarely seen, but hardest working cooks led by Joanna and James, to the front of house with our lovely hostess Mary and the dashing Douglas, who both welcome guests with the warmest of wishes and the biggest of smiles. Try Bertha's today. Arlen approved. 10/10

    TOP FAVE breakfast / lunch spot! Berthas Cafe is the best kept secret in Phoenix. If you know about it, ya know! If not, you need to hop on it!! Our favorites to order are the breakfast sandwich and the Turkey sandwich. So simple yet so delicious! If it's your first time you HAVE to try the turkey sandwich. The caramelized onions make it an easy 10/10 for me. Their lunch special is also a great deal! In addition to all their great breakfast / lunch options, they also have several baked goodies to choose from. Service is top notch every time. The manager is such a delight & everyone is always so welcoming. The space is actually great for groups large & small. Doesn't get too packed which is nice for days you want a nice place to dine in without having to wait long periods of time. Addthis to your list of places to try if you haven't already!! You won't regret it!

    Our DESSERT!

The perfect combination of meat, sauce, and cheesy goodness. The common denominator in both of the Sandi's was the incredibly fresh bread. It was crazy busy, and the service was excellent.
