Pleasantly surprised by this spot! We came here for brunch before we left back to Phoenix. It is located in an unassuming location with questionable interior design choices but offers pretty great food and plenty of options! I ordered the Breakfast Montini -- a pressed sandwich with ham, turkey, Havarti cheese, scrambled eggs and cranberry compote on the side. What an amazing conglomeration of ingredients! Everything went so well together and the flavors were super tasty. My partner devoured his breakfast burrito and let me know it was also delicious. It's tough to please him so kudos to you, Delicious Cafe! My daughter also enjoyed her pancakes as well. Great place! Will be back when we are in town again. read more

With a name like Delicious Cafe, the place is either going to great and live up to it, or a tragic comedy of poor naming convention. I'm very happy to report it was in fact delicious! I came in about an hour before closing. Decided to do a last minute trip to Payson to hike. But I needed lunch, was pretty hungry. I had not looked at the menu before arrival as I sometimes do so I felt a bit rushed with my decision making cause I had my fur baby Flynn waiting outside, but I fully enjoyed what I had. Lunch menu was available, I would like to come back for breakfast next time. I opted for the Dipper sandwich (roast beef, Swiss, onion and au jus). Served with seasoned potato wedges. It was very tasty. I would have liked the potatoes a bit more cooked and crispy, but still good. I ate about half of it and had it for leftovers where I toasted the wedges to my liking. Really good leftover as well. They have a bunch of teas! So I had what is sort of strange, an earl grey iced tea. They can make any tea iced. It was good. I love earl grey. The weather was nice, it was drizzling a tiny, bit and they were kind to bring water bowl for Flynn as we sat outside on the small front patio area. I'll definitely be back! Great random find! Also, their menu says gluten free options for my GF friends :) read more

WHAT A TREASURE! We dropped in here on the way from Phoenix to Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. Unlike the other greasy spoons everywhere around, this place had an excellent menu with diverse choices - including several healthy ones. I got a really good Greek Salad. The sandwiches were great too. Another little highlight was all the teas the place offered - they have a really really good lavender one that we liked so much, we bought loose leaf so we could make our own. The team here was super friendly as well, and while they had only 2 people serving a full house, they made everyone feel welcomed and happy. What a little GEM of a place!! read more

Sandwich tasteless and the potatoes were limp. The portions were small. No ambience. The bread reminded me of old things sandwich bread. 1

Food is good. I had mine replaced since it had hair in the wrap. They were terribly apologetic and I can understand a genuine mistake. However, the coffee is weak af and wouldn't recommend a house coffee even for free read more

We were driving back to Nebraska from Scottsdale and stopped in Payson for breakfast, my wife saw the word Cafe on the road sign so we pulled in. We found this place at random but Im glad we did. We just got a couple of Grab'n Go breakfast sandwiches and they were excellent and reasonably priced. Wish we lived nearby because if they can do something a simple breakfast sandwich that well, Id really like to try the rest of the menu read more

Coffee was terrible, they gave me my coffee in a big plastic water cup. Ordered the cowboy burrito and it had zero flavor. Their country potatoes were also flavorless. Service was OK but we were the only ones there. read more

This is an unassuming place from the outside but I was greeted with such warmth and hospitality when I walked in, so I knew it would be good. The menu has a wide variety-- from all day breakfast, to sandwiches, to pizzas. Even the desserts looked yummy although we didn't try any. I saw someone order the lemonberry pancakes and let me just say, I will be getting these next time I come back. They looked heavenly. My omelette was so nourishing after a long day of travel and my daughter's breakfast quesadilla was the perfect meal for a 6 year old (pro tip- order a half size so no food goes to waste). I also ordered a seasonal strawberry shortcake latte which was scrumpdiddlyumptios.Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick but nourishing bite along their travels. read more

What a fantastic spot we found! The service was top notch, just what you would expect from a little local restaurant. The food was served up quickly and the amount we got for the price was incredible. We weren't expecting leftovers, but the wrap was so filling. A few tables outside of you have a pet with you or just want to enjoy the weather, but inside decor was minimal. Again, it was just what you would expect and we loved it! read more

We stopped for breakfast on a Sunday, and it was really good! There was a bit of a wait, which is expected considering there's not many options around. The food was really well seasoned, and everything I ordered was correct. The waitress was really friendly, and attentive. I really appreciated all of the options on the menu as well! I would definitely stop by again when visiting Payson. read more

Made sure to return as I drove through Payson two months back. I had a friend join me. He was okay about his sandwich but loved the spicy sauce that was recommended to him. I had my beloved Montini. This time the whole sandwich and no soup. Couldn't stop my self and ate the whole thing. No road snack. Iced jasmine tea was enjoyed by both of us. read more

What a hidden gem for breakfast! Delicious Cafe is tucked into a quaint strip mall, but don't be fooled by its lack of advertising. The service and food were very good. If you want a hole-in-the-wall experience where the food's made from scratch, this is it! The interior is cozy and clean, something most hole-in-the-wall establishments lack. The service was phenomenal, our waiter was so informative and friendly. Everything is house-made, including the delicious Snickerdoodle Coffee I had. The food was really good. I tried the Breakfast Montini, their version of a Monte Cristo Sandwich. It was a little too heavy but the house-made cranberry compote helped tone it down. My Dad loved his "Delicious" Breakfast, a yummy traditional breakfast. The service was so kind and you can really tell they put a lot of effort into this establishment. I'd consider coming back next time I'm in Payson! read more

A delicious breakfast stop in Rim Country! We enjoyed the breakfast bowl (eggs, potatoes, cheese, sausage, pico de gallo) and the breakfast burrito! Nice service too. read more

Like 3 1/2 stars because we came in 15 minutes before they were closed but potato soup tasted a little water down and could've been warmer the French dip sandwich good good not great French tip could be amazing if you added a little horseradish and maybe some green or red pepper in it.. potato I just tasted very fresh service was great super sweet and the place was clean. It's in a little strip mall. We will come back and try breakfast. They have a ton of different teas and coffees which absolutely amazing. read more

Came here on a whim. Location was hidden and the decor was interesting but they did the best they can to make it nice. What matters is the food and that did not disappoint. My Cowboy Burrito was flavorful and so good! Will be back for sure! read more

The cute diner is tucked in a plaza and can be driven past. But I'm telling you to stop! You will not be disappointed!! We have been here once before and the food was amazing. Spent our anniversary in Strawberry and had to grab breakfast here on our way out of town. We recognized the same waitress and she is so sweet and great service! My husband ordered The Breakfast Club and I ordered The Breakfast Montini w/ cranberry compote. Both were absolutely delicious!! However the Breakfast Montini was out of this world! The different flavors this sandwich had, had me doing my happy yummy food dance. Give this cafe a shot, you will not regret it! read more

Delicious Cafe - The Breakfast Club - A white square plate holds two small croissant sandwiches, each with lettuce, cheese, and meats, secured with toothpicks. Accompanying the sandwiches are roasted diced potatoes, seasoned and cooked to a golden brown. The presentation suggests a casual meal or appetizer, with the focus on the sandwiches and roasted potatoes. - Soup Near Me - Payson, Arizona

We stopped in payson for some brunch on our way back home. The restaurant was pretty small, but I did really think there needed to be more than one server. The waitress working was fantastic but you could tell that she was spread thinly. The cinnamon roll latte was pretty standard and tasted pretty good. I got an omelette and it was big enough for another meal!!! The eggs were fluffy and filled with lots of toppings!! The potato wedges were flavorful and crispy. Overall, the meal was pretty standard but nothing too special. Would maybe come back for lunch and try a tea - that seems to be their specialty. read more

This place makes everything fresh... from coffee to sandwiches. They are very accommodating of dietary restrictions! Their menu has something for everyone - from breakfast burritos to yogurt parfaits. They also have an impressive tea assortment for the tea lovers out there! IMO, their coffee is hand down the best in Payson. Each cup is made to order & worth the brief wait. This place is perfect for a casual brunch & has become a regular spot for us! read more

Great choice for a lunch stop in Payson on a Sunday. Had to call to make sure they were open as Google said Closed, their website said "by appointment only" (?), and Yelp said Open. I had the Applini which was a turkey panini with Swiss cheese, apple slices, cucumber, and honey mustard. I was stuck on whether to order the whole or half. Ended up ordering the whole as the panini I saw on another plate didn't look excessively huge. I ate the whole thing as it was delicious. I was full but not too full. Also the honey mustard did not have a horseradish taste that some do (very thankful for that - can totally ruin it for me). I didn't bother to eat the side salad as it was just romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, cucumber, and more cheese (the panini met my cheese quota for one meal ha). Balsamic vinaigrette dressing was thin and mostly balsamic vinegar so just nothing special here. On a next visit I might try the half of this same panini with the potato wedges, those looked good and no surcharge like the salad. Or there were brunch items and a couple other sandwiches that appealed. One thing I really did not like was the frosted designed glass in place of standard windows so the lighting was weird and kind of bothered me really (felt almost fluorescent / windowless). It was probably to block the sun but some sort of shade would be better. Despite this the food was good enough I do hope to return. Pricing seemed fair overall. read more

This is a cute little privately owned cafe and a good stop en route to or from camping. The food was pretty good, but needed more salt in my opinion. I'd recommend the potato soup. I thought my latte was good but that the coffee was weak. I prefer a stronger taste of coffee, personally. Our server was quick and friendly. Overall, it was a good experience and solid quality for a small town. read more

We stopped here on the way home based on the reviews and we were so glad we did! We didn't stay, but the inside was quaint and cozy. The women running/working the place were really professional and friendly. Our food was ready when we arrived and they made us excellent coffee drinks to leave with. Our sandwiches were delicious and the potatoes wedges were tasty and crispy on the outside. We will return when in town for sure! read more

Food was super yummy! The strawberry pancakes were scarfed down by our 13 year old, bacon was good! We'll ordered 4 sides of it. Waffles were good too! They made me EGG free French toast that was Sooo Amazing! As were the egg free waffles. Super kind server and cooks! We will be back to try their egg free pancakes with more bacon! Thank u! read more

This was a really great place to go on my trip in Payson. I loved the portion sizes and how fresh the food tasted. You could really tell that it was all homemade. I love that they have vegan options, but I do wish they offered a couple more all vegan options. read more

I've been back 2 times and both times the food was delicious. Everything tastes fresh and is prepared well. The service was slow because there is only 1 server so it's best if you aren't in a rush. But overall it was worth it. read more

Delicious Cafe is a cute little locally owned restaurant and the quality is in the name!! The staff is always so sweet and friendly and are always ready to answer any questions or try to accommodate dietary restrictions. Their variety of teas and sauces in my opinion are their strongest suit, and the crispy cheese on their potato wedges are a favorite! Today I ordered an iced Summer Rose Tea with agave, the Bacon Ranch Clucker, with a side of potato wedges with their pesto aioli sauce! The combination of the jerk chicken patty with the sauces and ciabatta bun is a brilliant flavor, it was hard not to eat the whole thing in one setting but it was enough food to save some for later! read more

5 Stars - A Must-Visit in Payson! Absolutely loved this charming little cafe in Payson! I ordered the Rise and Grind burrito, and it was hands-down one of the most delicious breakfast burritos I've ever had. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the sausage was incredibly flavorful--truly some of the best I've had in a burrito. I also ordered a side of their sun-dried tomato spread, and wow--it was the perfect addition. So good! The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm, cozy, and super welcoming. Christian rock music was playing gently in the background, adding to the peaceful and uplifting vibe. The restaurant itself was spotless, and the gentleman who greeted and served us was kind, attentive, and took the time to walk us through the menu. I had the pineapple iced tea and loved it so much I ended up buying four different loose-leaf tea blends to take home: piña colada, pineapple, apricot, and the whimsically named Wibbly Wobbly. Each one is fragrant, flavorful, and clearly made with care. They also had a cute little selection of jewelry at the counter--I picked up three adorable pairs of earrings and a fun donut pin. It's such a nice touch and makes the place feel even more special. The cafe offers excellent gluten-free options too, which was a big plus for one of my family members who needs to eat gluten-free--everything was clearly marked and available. We loved this spot so much that we actually went back the very next day to grab a to-go order before heading down the 87 back to the Valley. It was the perfect road trip meal! Highly, highly recommend this gem whether you're passing through Payson, living in town, or heading up to Flagstaff. We'll definitely be back next time we're visiting family or traveling through. read more

Started off a bit rocky as there was a confusion over our drink order but owner was very sweet about fixing it. I had the Breakfast Montini and boy was it good! Would have that again. Wouldn't do the potatoes again or at least not ask for them to be extra crispy. They are diced and that doesn't go well with too much crisp. read more

Stopped for quick snack on way to Strawberry. They have some tables outside which is why we stopped because our pups were with us. We shared the chicken clucker wrap without onion and bacon. Came with some delicious wedge fries that were nicely seasoned and had just a bit of melted cheese on it. Comes with dipping sauce, we got the tziyaki which was so good and garlicky. I ended up putting some of the sauce on my half of the wrap which pushed it over the top. We met and talked with Daniel who co-owns the cafe with her daughter. Everything is house made, fresh, and made to order. They have lots of gluten free options to offer as well. And the most epic part of our experience was their teas! Wife ordered a dragonfruit ice tea which was steeped and made to order. That tea!!! Not sweetened and was so fresh, clean tasting. Cannot say enough how highly I recommend this little cafe. read more

Customer service eggs were supposed to be over medium white well done and yolk runny they were overcooked I as for pancakes to be done later after we ate the eggs and potatoes she said she couldn't they were very cool and the French toast was very hard. We asked for them to be my and they said that they didn't have one. read more

It tasted good but one of the many things that put me off was they asked if we would like lemon with our water but didn't let us know they charge you for lemon in your water which I find sneaky and ridiculous. Their fruit bowl is absolutely tiny for what they charge for it. Plus my club sandwich only had one slice of turkey, one slice of ham and only one slice of cheese! For the cost it was an absolute rip off!The ambience is not great. Will not be going back. read more

This place is AMAZING! Stopped by on a whim during a roadtrip. I wish I had pictures of my salad but I ate it too fast. Chicken, strawberries, goat cheese, nuts and a vinaigrette to die for! My boyfriend got a sandwich and he said it was so heart and delicious. We liked it so much we have come back from phoenix! Every time we go through Payson it's a must now! Service was amazing, and it's very cute inside feels very much like an old school breakfast cafe. read more
