The food was excellent, the staff was friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance was relaxed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm not much for iced tea but the peach/raspberry tea was fine...but not really my thing. 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![[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is not great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will not be going back. 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

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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was amazing, and it's very cute inside feels very much like an old school breakfast cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

A nice light lunch menu and great tasting food. The soup was delicious with Gouda and bacon. Bread was fresh and soft. Staff was friendly and helpful. A delightful to be with read more

Breakfast bowl was amazingly good and the service was excellent!! We will definitely be back!

Four of us went for lunch yesterday and I don't know why it took us so long to try this little restaurant. Every one of us thought our food was delicious. Three of us had sandwiches and one had pancakes and potatoes. Highly recommend Delicious Cafe! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Sweet little place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was hoping this would be a little gem when coming into town. Owner was the only waitstaff and maybe was a little overwhelmed. She didn't get our order correct and wasn't super attentive. She was kind though. Food and beverages were very average lacking flavor and my hot breakfast was served cold. Again, maybe if the owner had more help the experience may have been better. read more

We popped in after a long hike on the Horton Springs Trail just outside of Payson. We had a very lovely and enthusiastic greeting and service was wonderful throughout our dining experience. LOVE the gluten free options and opportunities... it made it a no brainer for where to stop before heading home to PHX. They specialize in sauces... enjoyed the jalapeño ranch and pesto aioli. Plenty of seating throughout! Will be back next hike. read more

We stopped off for what we hoped would be a quick lunch. There were three other occupied tables when we were seated. After a brief wait, the waitress took our sandwich order and then the wait began. After about 30-40 minutes, we asked to take our order to go. My chicken salad sandwich on a croissant was mediocre. My son gave his custom grilled cheese sandwich with ham, bacon, and Swiss cheese three stars as well. We did enjoy the indoor decor and the prices were decent. Overall, it was a 3-star experience. We likely won't return. read more

Had a great lunch on our way through town on a road trip. Damon was genuinely friendly and our sandwiches were indeed delicious. Thanks!

Small cozy place. Very large selection of teas and coffee. We came here for lunch. I had half berry salad and chikini sandwich on a pita bread. My husband had 'delicious club' with Cole slaw. Generous portions and the food was delicious! read more

Lovely mom & pop cafe. Very friendly service, nice menu w/whimsically named items. Even w/modest menu size - deciding which item to choose was daunting!! PLUS an extensive tea & coffee menu. Just wonderful!!! read more

Food was not good. Home fries potatoes was awful. Coffee was lukewarm. Slow Services. Wouldn't cone back

We love, love, love this restaurant! We go there every Friday for an outstanding breakfast and tea, followed by a quiet and productive business meeting that lasts until time for dessert :) The owners and wait people are wonderful -- attentive and yet they stay out of your way once you don't need anything more. They could charge twice the price for the quality and abundance of the food they prepare, but they genuinely love people and want to give everyone a chance to afford healthy and scrumptious food! The window coverings are gorgeous rainbow reflections that make just the right amount of brilliance but don't detract from the upbeat and people-centered presentation. We simply can't say enough kudos about this restaurant. We recommend it to anyone who is looking for gourmet tastes and quality in a friendly, casual and fun atmosphere! read more

The food was amazing as always, made with care and good taste! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pet friendly with outside sitting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check the jewelry at the cashier. A must to check every time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]happy to see they expanded the inside to accommodate more guests.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer service is a 5 stars experience . read more

After eating here id say im never coming back service was horrible and the food came out cold and took way to long i do not recommend.

My wife and I were in Payson for a few days for some hiking. We found this great little café that has awesome food and a huge selection of different teas and coffees. Everything we tried was awesome. We had several sandwiches and the coffee was to die for. Great place to stop if you're looking for a place in Payson. The owners are really personable and the staff is very accommodating. read more

Good news: they have a ton of gluten free options on their menu. Bad news: it's not great. My mom and my sister both ordered the tomato soup. It came out and both of them said it was cold. They asked the waiter to heat it up and he said he could only heat it to a certain point legally so he would do that but not any hotter. Strange but ok. Soup came back. Cold. Still cold. The soup was still so cold the cheese hadn't melted in it. It was inedible. No one offered to take it off the bill and the waiter once again said he legally couldn't heat it up any further. The host had terribly dirty fingernails. The water/ice tasted awful. read more

Cute little place with great food, don't let the outside fool you. I had the turkey panini and my wife had the grilled cheese, both delicious and the people working there were super friendly. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a wonderful place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My family stumbled upon this location for breakfast and we were blown away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Tea party (Papaya Berry) was delicious and the food was perfect. Staff was kind and took great care of us. Can't wait to come back. read more

What a great place! Both the sandwich and the wrap that my wife and I had was delicious. The potato wedges especially were probably the best potato wedges we've ever had. Everyone was so friendly. Pretty sure it was a family owned business. They gave us recommendations for dinner in the area. They even gave us free raspberry mousse for our anniversary since we were on our anniversary trip. Oh yeah, the raspberry mousse was homemade, fantastic! Highly recommend and next time we are up in Payson it will be our first stop for lunch. read more

Stopped here on our way back to Phoenix. Ordered the dipper and montini both with potato wedges. It was perfect for lunch portions and flavor was spot on. Service was great. Attentive but not in your face. Cute little place, clean and we'll kept. Definitely on our stop again when going to or through Payson. read more

They're not kidding - the food is DELICIOUS! The staff was super friendly & accommodating (my daughter & I are both dairy free - it's not everywhere that it happens), the place is cute & clean, & the blackberry pie tea latte I will definitely be getting again! Great spot for my brunch with my 6 year old read more

This quaint family place rates 5 stars on friendliness, attentiveness and their "aim to please" attitude and philosophy. Have I had better food elsewhere? Yes. Have I had better service? Not likely. What was most impressive is how this place caters to those with dietary needs. I am gluten/sugar free and there were several items for me to chose from. And they were willing to customize my meal to my dietary needs. Any restaurant that will try and accommodate special diets deserves a shout out and thanks. (A server at a fancy restaurant once asked me if my diet was 'necessary' or just something I did). These people listened, understood, and worked with me. Thanks! Oh, and the tea and coffee selections were top notch and plentiful! read more

Made an order to go, so I can't speak to a sit-down experience, but the kind woman who took my order over the phone was so helpful and even listed off all of their available desserts because I didn't look before I ordered. I got the "dream of chicken" croissant, and raspberry mouse. Both were delicious! I loved that the croissant was made healthier with Greek yogurt. read more

10/10 experience! So much variety and attention to detail for gluten free diets. We had the dipper and the rodeo. Both were amazing. Damon's service was excellent as well read more

Driving through Payson after a long camping trip and looking for healthier food to grab for lunch. Found Delicious Cafe on Google with 4.8 stars so had high expectations. The people were super nice and we were given a plethora of beverage options. I ordered a Carmel latte which was so bad I couldn't drink it. For my meal I had "That's a Wrap" which was fresh but I was confused with the plain yogurt since they sell several flavorful sauces. It definitely could have used some flavor. My son ordered The Dipper which he liked but he asked for honey mustard and it was a yellow mustard base (gross! Please use a Dijon base!). Cute little place with plenty of space. Overall just okay but probably won't be back. read more

Must've caught them on a bad day based on all the positive reviews, oh well, it happens. When walking in, a customer walking out mentioned something about a "3-ring circus...", looking back now, totally made sense. I won't go into all the details, but service was very slow and food was bland/tasteless - my wife's sandwiche even came out on a hoagie type roll with 2 bottoms and not a top (ha!). They wouldn't let us order even though we were more than ready, instead telling us the food will come out quicker if we wait a while to order...hmmm, ok? Needless to say, I doubt we'll ever be back, but I'm confident they'll continue to be a punchline within our family for years to come read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was amazing here....the food, the service, the great prices, the friendly atmosphere.....just everything![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I could give it 10 stars (out of 5!)....I would!! The coffee was always made and served fresh....piping hot! The eggs were SO fresh and fluffy and delicious! The country potatoes were nice and crusty on the outside and moist in the middle! Or....you can order just the way you want! The fruit was VERY fresh and juicy and delicious! Everything came out perfect and great portions! One of the best breakfast places I've ever eaten at while on a roadtrip....and we've taken many! The waiter and host and pretty much a "do everything" in the dining room....Damon....was awesome! Probably one of the nicest and kindest and most "attentive to our needs" waiter we've ever come upon in a very long time! He was definitely one of the very BEST....and makes the Delicious Cafe what it is...with, I'm sure, LOTS of support from the chefs and all the others who join in to make this cafe the very best....probably on the West coast!! Many blessings to the staff and just everyone that works here! Keep up the good work, Damon and staff!!! Thanks for an AWESOME and simply AMAZING dining experience!!! read more

We eat there very frequently. one of the servers by the name of Damon is beyond outstanding. He takes very very good care of people and makes sure all of their needs are met. You don't even have to ask to have your drink refilled he does it before you ask first class service first class Food the chef Adam Makes things that are above and beyond normal. It's not standard fair at all it's exceptional read more

We were there today. I wish we had an extra half star available to give to them Mostly because they are a hard working and very genuine family that cares- great service and smiles and no fluff. My opinion only- I like seeing outside the windows, the windows are covered with a vinyl like lining, can't see outside. I ordered the French dip- my take the aujus could have had more flavor and been hotter (temp), it was a bit bland, the sandwich could have had a bit more cheese, a bit toastier and hotter - the meat could have been shaved thinner and been hotter - would I order that again - probably not. The other order we had was a chicken hot sandwich with some chipotle ranch, bacon etc. that was better and tastier. All in all, I think they have the service dialed in, location is great, but absolutely lack that "mhmm" moment in their finish touches and detail in their food, flavor etc. Would I come back again, yes probably for breakfast but that is it. Thanks for reading! read more

Excellent quality food. Our party of five were very pleased. Great sandwiches and soups. The tomato soup is very good made from scratch. I had breakfast which was awesome and they serve wonderful French press coffee!!!! So hard ti find a place like this!!! read more

We were passing through Payson on our road trip and found this veggie-friendly lunch spot. Friendly staff, cute vibe, and we really appreciated that they could accommodate us with vegetarian swaps for our selections. The half sandwich & half soup meal deal was exactly what I was in the mood for. Fun find! read more
