This POS is closed. No mention of that and made a special trip bc reviews for tuna were good. I'll never come here. Owners that don't care about letting customers know they are closed are not people serving the community but rather themselves. It's also just a building cafe not a standalone restaurant. Very disappointed obviously read more

I was recently in the area and a friend suggested this place for a quick lunch .. it's located inside an office complex and caters to the employees in the various offices. They have a daily special and soup of the day on the screen and on the website, both change daily. On my visit they had a burger and fries. On Tuesday they have a taco special and albondigas soup. Menu consists of Burgers, wraps, sandwiches, hotdogs, breakfast burritos, quesadillas, salads. The staff here are super friendly, small indoor dining area and courtyard patio seating as well read more

Forum Cafe - Yummy tuna sandwhich - New American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Carmello & Oli are the best! I love a good omelette by Carmello with Oli's famous salsa!

Nice little place with very friendly owner. The food is good, but was a little surprised to see prices increase by as much as 35% from the menu I picked up right before Christmas. I understand that a small operator in a location not visible from the street has to do what he must to stay in business, but that seems like a big increase for the same menu offerings. UPDATE AFTER READING OWNER'S RESPONSE. I appreciated the well thought out response to my review although I was not seeking one. I don't see a reason to change my review as you requested. My review was succinct but addressed the food and the people involved in a positive way. I understand your obstacles to profitability, as I indicated in my original post, but unfortunately, pricing and value is also something that needs to be noted. I truly wish you nothing but success, but if I do return to your cafe, it will be far less frequently than before. I hope you find it better to actually get this type of feedback instead of people who stop coming and never tell you why. read more

My Husband and I found this spot on Yelp and immediately the owners were so welcoming and kind. They noticed we were new and we felt like fast friends. We sat on the patio. My hubby got a sandwich that he said was very tasty. I asked Oli to choose for me and I had a delicious Chinese chicken wrap. The different textures were perfect. Filling but not too heavy. We also got a side of fries that were perfectly crispy. We had already decided we would go back just for the people even if the food was just ok. We were elated that the food was delicious! Fresh, flavorful and made with love. We can't wait to go back. I had half eaten my wrap before I remembered to grab a photo. Highly recommend! read more

The food was delicious, the proprietor is friendly and helpful, the prices are very reasonable - everything was perfect. Can't wait to come again. read more

Forum Cafe had came to my apartment for a breakfast burrito event and I missed out! But I was told everyone loved the food, so I had to give them a try for myself. I did however have an Italian Wrap instead of a breakfast burrito, since it was about 1pm the time I went in. Everything tasted great. On top of that, Oli and Carmello are phenomenal people. They new almost everyone that walked through the door and introduced themselves to me and talked about how they make everything they sell. I highly recommend. read more

I absolutely love this place! This is my 3rd time here at this hidden gem with my husband. The forum club is probably the best club sandwich I have ever had. I have also tried & enjoyed their fried chicken wrap with a honey mustard sauce. But their breakfast burritos really hit the spot! We add jalapeño & avocado. We have always been greeted very warmly by the owner as if we were family coming home. If you are in the mood for a delicious & fresh breakfast/lunch, & want to leave with a happy tummy & spirit, then you MUST come here & experience the magic that is "The Forum Cafe". Oh & try the brownies! They are ridiculously moist & rich. read more

Forum Cafe - Breakfast burrito with ham! Mmmmm so good! - New American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

All the reviews are true! The best thing about this place is the love that the owners put into their food. It's almost all home made. We had the veggie hoagie and the French onion soup and potato salad and banana bread. All fresh and yummy! My wife and I were the only people they didn't know by name. It's not that hard to find, if you know to go into the courtyard and look on one end, where it says cafe. The husband and wife team have been here for 16+ years and it will make your tummy and your heart feel good to eat here or cater from them! I'm adding this that I just found out he is a 20 year of serving Veteran! How great is that! Share this place and spread the love! read more

We finally got around to getting lunch from the Forum Cafe! The sandwiches were very good. They just finished baking cookies so of course we got a couple of those too. We were a little worried about the location being inside the building, but it was very easy to get to the Cafe for pickup. read more

Found this fabulous hidden gem on Yelp a year ago and the forgot about it somehow. Boy am I glad I found it again! Casual little cafe in the courtyard of the Forum Office building. Just drive around the back and enter the courtyard through the northeast doors. What a sweet pleasant place for a meal. Friendly owners and wonderful food. Last time I went I had the build your own salad and a cup of onion soup sitting on the sunny patio and couldn't have been happier. Today I had wonderful tuna salad along with the most delicious tomato basil soup. Take the time to find this delicious little lunch spot for a quick yummy lunch. You will be so glad you did! read more

I am always looking for something a little off the beaten path, so when I saw this place on Yelp, we had to give it a try. It is a little tricky to find as it is in the courtyard area of an office building, but you need to go. The service here is amazing. They know everyone by name and what they like to order. Immediately knew that we weren't regulars and wanted to know our story. If that wasn't impressive enough, the food was just that as amazing. We had the grilled turkey & cheese sandwich, grilled cheese, fries, and the brownies (because everyone else was getting them). Everything was homemade and fresh. Sandwiches, salads, desserts...everything looked great. Sounds like it is a popular spot to cater from as well. read more

My husband and I wanted to try something new. We came across this place on Yelp and boy are we glad we did! I had the tuna melt on sourdough and clam chowder. I am not kidding when I say both were the best I've had, EVER. My husband had the club on sourdough and was equally happy with his. If you haven't had the chance to stop by this place for lunch, you should definitely try it out. You will not be disappointed. If the food wasn't enough to come back for, the owners are so warm and inviting. Next time we are trying the breakfast.... or maybe that melt again! read more

This place is an awesome little cafe. My wife and I came to Scottsdale for a little vacation and decided to check this place out. I had the sirloin burger and she had the BLT. The BLT was absolutely delicious, the bacon was perfectly crisp and there is a TON of bacon on the sandwich, not like other places where you bite into the sandwich and it's all bread, lettuce and tomato. The burger was delicious, but let me tell you about these French fries......... perfect combination of crisp on the outside and fluff on the inside. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Also, treated ourselves to a hazelnut latte, which didn't disappoint. Forum Cafe is run by a husband and wife (support local business) with lots of personality and zaz! We were thoroughly happy with our visit, and will definitely be back again! read more

Forum Cafe - Crispy and delicious - New American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Little hard to find, but so worth it! So good!! Owners are very nice and the food is super delicious. They greeted me by name the second day I came in. I had a conference next door at the Hilton, very short walk. They also make a delectable almond milk latte. Ridiculously reasonable prices. The outside eating area is nice and relaxing, the inside one is spacious and inviting. read more

Hard to find, but worth every step! The tuna melt was delicious - the bread was toasted perfectly and the tuna was tasty, not fishy. We also had the Italian Grinder which was spiced just right. Thanks Carmello! read more

A very quaint, clean, cafe. The people running the place are very sweet - watched a lot of regulars come in known by name. Homemade, straight up food. Prices are great. read more

Nice! Quality food (got the Italian wrap) made by the owner. Great value. Nice quiet dining area in the courtyard, with a relaxing fountain.

What a great find this cafe was!! Food was fantastic and service was terrific. The atmosphere was so welcoming and friendly. We were there twice and will be back again. You won't be disappointed! The homemade meatball soup was superb! read more

Great food, stopped in on a whim and was very glad. The owner is the nicest which is a good perk.

Olli and Carmello treat each customer like family. You can count on them knowing your name and what you like by your 2nd or 3rd visit. Great homemade food at great prices (especially for Scottsdale). It's a little hard to find, but well worth it. Literally everything on the menu is good. read more

Honestly, this was absolutely fantastic. Parents and I needed a good sammie/salad spot, read about Forum Cafe on Yelp, took a chance and so glad we did. Everything they offer is made to order, they have fresh ingredients and breads, and an amazing assortment of desserts - try the lemon bundt cake, to die for! So glad we found this place, we'll definitely be back, probably for breakfast. read more

Fantastic little place!! The owners are super sweet and helpful especially if you have specific dietary needs. And the food is made with so much love!! Super delicious!! We will definitely be back! read more

I work for Dignity Health and used FC for catering. Oh my! Just fantastic. FC catered our 3 day event and did a magnificent job. We surveyed our participants after the event and the ratings were 4.5 out of 5. The cookies are yummy yummy and they are homemade! Our menu included wraps, salads, and desserts. Something for everyone, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free. The fresh water with lemon and basil was also a huge hit. I work in our San Francisco office but would not hesitate to hire FC again. Phoenix participants will definitely use FC in the future. Thank you Oli for doing an amazing job! read more

Amazing quality for very reasonable price. Food is fresh, simple, delicious. Wonderful service to boot!

We visited Arizona from Maine a couple of weeks ago, and were in the Scottsdale area looking for a spot to eat lunch. The Forum Café came up on my Google search, and the menu looked great. We had a little difficulty finding it, but it's definitely worth the extra effort. When we went in, we were greeted by one of the owners, who gave us a menu and asked if we had any questions. As we sat at a table waiting for our order, we watched the owners greet almost all of the customers by name as they came in. It is obviously a place with a lot of regulars and return customers. Our meal was delicious, and the portions were huge! My husband had the Chicken Bacon Wrap and I had the Oriental Chicken Wrap. We easily could have shared one sandwich, but they were so good, we both ate our whole sandwiches. Our kids had a grilled cheese and a BLT. My son said it was the best BLT he ever had! Oli (the owner) also brought out a couple chicken fingers for him to try because he couldn't decide between those and the BLT. At the end of our meal, we were the last ones in the Café and Oli and Carmello (the owners) came out to chat with us to hear about where we would be travelling in AZ. They gave us some suggestions of places to visit, and they were so nice to chat with. A couple hours after we left the Café, I got a call from a friend in Tucson who said "Your daughter left her sweater in a Café in Scottsdale." My daughter had left her sweater behind, and Oli and Carmello tracked us down based on our conversation about our next stop in Tucson and the friend we would be visiting - we talked about my friend's business and they contacted him there. They insisted on mailing my daughter's sweater back to our home, and would not let me pay for the postage. We would all return to this Café for the food only, but we would love to stop in to visit Oli and Carmello again too. Meeting wonderful people like them made our trip to Arizona very special. It is easy to see why they have such a great connection to their community and why so many people are regular customers at their Café. Definitely give it a try if you are in the Scottsdale area! read more

Got into town a little early and stopped off here to have lunch. Was extremely surprised with the excellent service and then wonderful wrap. Very good! We'll be back! Price was great as well! read more

Carmelo and OLI, the owners of the Forum are amazing. They catered for us, and we couldn't be happier. Not only are they the most loving kind people, their love for people and food make them go above and beyond what is expected. We had the best chicken Marsala I have ever eaten. The bruschetta was outstanding!!! Their attention to detail and making sure we were taken care of, there just aren't enough kind words I could say about these two. I 150% recommend OLI and Carmelo to cater any event you have. read more

This is a little cafe with big personality. We were greeted with warmth and a smile. The beef vegetable soup was delicious. As we sat there we saw everyone walking in being greeted by name. The cook came out to talk to us and made us feel very welcomed. Great food and service. read more

Diamond in the rough! I love the atmosphere of this little cafe and simple delicious menu. Its run by very inviting and friendly husband and wife who have been there for several years. Excellent is an understatement! read more

Reuben sandwich was a joke. Guy was friendly.

Wow! Kudos to Oli and team for catering our Mardi Gras party last night. The food was delicious and the menu was perfect. We had over 130 people at our party and so many compliments on the fantastic food! A first class operation, and we will be calling you again real soon! read more

This place always has good food, great prices and excellent customer service. I am here often because I work in the building and both their lunch and breakfast are tasty and quick. Highly recommend. read more

This place is amazing these people are the sweetest and really good food and company.

I must say I have not eaten IN the restaurant but I have worked with them to cater 2 events. Oli is great to work with and very accomodating. Even more important is the food....... You must try the chicken alfredo with penne pasta and the red meat sauce with penne.They are outstanding for any event when you need to feed a room full of hungry guys. Great friendly service too. I will have to try a meal in the restaurant sometime...... read more

The only thing more awesome than the food, is the stellar customer service. The ladies at the forum cafe were so sweet and helpful even though they were completely inundated with orders. Highly recommend this place for a great and truly inexpensive breakfast. read more
