Staff - friendly, helpful, very kind to children. Always a smiling greeting. Ambiance - they keep improving it. Conversation area, low or tall tables, lots of natural lighting. Pleasant. Food - I really really wish the menu had seasonal or monthly "special items" but everything they offer is tasty & fresh. Not their fault that I crave excessive choices and get "bored" with static menus. We appreciate this onsite service!

This evening was my first night back to lifetime cafe in several years …read more.. First impression: a bit confused I asked the gentleman working behind the counter if breakfast was served all day, and he responded by telling me they had already shut down the ovens for the day (and this was @ 6:30, and they didn't close till 7:00) so you say the cafe is open until 7:00, but people can't order food? The worker told me that I could only order a shake or a prepackaged food to go ... I am also not a huge fan of all the changes that have been made to the menu - I prefer some consistency, especially regarding some of my favorite items that used to be offered here. I ended up trying the bodybuilder shake with chocolate flavoring and peanut butter & banana ... It was good, but I wa disappointed that I was not able to order actual food, and last time I talked to a manger about this very same issue he explained to me that they are not supposed to shut down the grill/oven early (they are supposed to wait until close) .... Sooooo ???? I used to like coming here, but not if things close down early and I can't rely on the listed open hours ... I have seen this issue with lifetime workers before ... trying to close down the cafe early and refusing to make members food during the open hours. This has seriously got to stop. I hope the management sees this review and takes care of this issue because the cafe not only loses out on sales, but it's frustrating/annoying as a member to deal with lazy workers who just want to get out of work right on time instead of doing their job. The prices here are moderate, and as I mentioned in this post ... Staff here can be hit or miss. Sometimes they are good and great, other times they are nice, but slackers deep down ... The facility itself is very nice - clean, comfortable, and offers plenty of options when workers aren't claiming that its policy to turn off ovens/grills waaay prior to closing time ... I will try it out again to see if this issue has been resolved ... Be on the look out for my update ;)

It was a holiday weekend so probably a factor but we were fine because we didn't have to wait and got seated immediately. Our server, Brittany, was quick to come over and ask for drink orders. We both just had water today as we had already had our coffee for the day! I ordered the Farmhouse Hash, which is (from the menu): Two cage-free eggs any style atop fresh, seasoned potatoes, bacon, avocado, house-roasted onions and tomatoes, Cheddar and Monterey Jack. Served with our whole-grain artisan toast. I had to ask for some other avocado as the slices I got were brown and yucky. Brittany apologized and brought a small plate of additional slices but they really weren't much better. Avocados are such tricky little things and when they have brown spots, I pass on them. Overall the dish was good and didn't miss the avocado. Wife got her favorite Million Dollar Back and the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Both were great and perfect and if you like lemon...try these pancakes. They are so good! Overall a good breakfast experience.

Their breakfast menu is delicious and they have a great assortment of baked goods. Just know though that they always seem to be running out of something, whether it's the croissant or the bacon, or just bread! I've been in 2 times in a row and the last time they halted my pick up order because they were out of the croissants to make the sandwich. It was a 7:45am pick up though so I'm not sure if they hadn't made any yet or they didn't make enough and happened to sell out within an hour... Either way, if you DO happen to get what you ordered with the ingredients it's supposed to come with, the flavor is absolutely there! The staff is nice but just expect to hear that they are out of something when you order in person...

My review is from before they made drastic changes to their food options…read more My wife and I had a summer tradition going. Every other week we were coming in to get a big fresh salad made for her and a wrap with bacon for me. Both were so filling and delicious and we loved our pattern. The last time we visited, however, they completely changed their menus - getting rid of all of their big salads and their wraps and sandwiches. Everything is a pizza now. Totally different vibe and we will likely not be back except to check and see if they have re-added the items which we were accustomed to. We have been to several Scheels and eaten in their Ginna's as well. We were saddened to hear that the menu changes were across all of their stores. We are hoping it is a temporary or seasonal change. If not, we will still shop at Scheels, but we will take our food dollars elsewhere.

We've brought our little niece and family several times, I should have reviewed ages ago. Great service, will return!

Service, is friendly, everybody moving quick. It should be noted the restaurant is not the largest and they have managed to squeeze every square inch out of this restaurant as possible. Tables are close together so if you're not ok with that, this isn't the place. The coffee is hot and they leave a pitcher table side which I like. Ordered the Corned beef Hash which was delicious and includes two eggs, hash browns and english muffin. Very simple order, but they did it right so I can't complain. There are plenty of misters outside the restaurant in the waiting area to keep cool while waiting and also if you want to dine outside. During non-summer months, their outdoor dining is quite popular. Overall, it's a great choice for a traditional breakfast in Tempe.

During the week the egg masters Matt & Kennedy always whip up the most delicious meals I have ever had, seriously. I could go on and on about this location, definitely the best in the valley!

The French Dip had great flavor without being overly salty like some places, and the au jus complemented it well. The Dutch Crunch bread definitely lived up to its name--it had a nice crunch--but it was a little harder than I personally prefer. If you like a really crunchy roll, you'll probably enjoy it. The meal also came with a small chocolate cookie, which was a nice bonus and surprisingly tasty. The employees were very friendly. Even though they have self-checkout kiosks, they offered to check us out themselves instead of making us use them, which I appreciated. The dining area was clean, and there was plenty of seating inside.

There are so many good options to choose from but I just love French dips too much! The only issue was the kiosk didn't have a working scanner for the rewards QR code but that's ok, I ended up being helped at the counter by Luke who was friendly and had great customer service. I will also say the dining area is nice, clean, and has nice visual signs to look at while enjoying your meal.

The employees change over quite often but they are always friendly so the managers must do a good job of hiring and training their employees. The location is one of the better ones as there's good natural lighting out the eastern windows and they have ample seating inside and a larger patio with tables on the east, SE and south side of the building...so you can normally find share or sun pending your preference. The subs here are above average. They have steamers for their meats and cheeses so they melt together and have enhanced flavor. The bread is average and sometimes will be under toasted or over toasted. They have the standard add-on toppings, and also have a hot sauce bar with different brands and Scoville levels of sauce. For drink selections, they have a large Coke Freestyle machine, but they more often than not have some or all the flavorings out of stock. What's the point of this machine if there's no vanilla peach Coke? They brew their own unsweet and sweet tea as well. Overall, this is one of the better Firehouse chain locations to visit and I'm happy I have this option close to work. Thanks Firehouse Subs!
