I really like this tiny cafe. The owners also make it bright a friendly. This last visit I had the half Greek salad and the chili. All the soups are homemade and delicious. I highly recommend a visit and again support an independent and locally owned business. read more

OK, here's the deal. I didn't have a yelp account before today, although i use yelp everyday. i never have been inclined enough to take the time to open one because i am VERY hard to please and have VERY high expectations. I eat out for lunch everyday M-F. I cant persuade you enough to spend all of your money here. To me, food is only half of the lunchtime experience. The other half is customer service, and i have to say, personally i have never witnessed and better representation of that. The Food -- A+, heart, love and soul goes into every step and ingredient. I do not want to under sell this place. I have only written 1 review for food in my life and it was due to a pure disgusting experience at Pizza Hut. so for me to take the time to do this as my sandwich gets cold because i cant wait to share with everyone how great this place is, is a big deal. I Got a Chicken breast sandwich, and they threw it together in less than 2 minutes. Inside the perfectly toasted bread was freshly grilled onions (with spice), A generous and juicy warm high quality chicken breast topped with my choice cheese melted perfected to adhere the ingredients together. Fresh sliced tomato sat gently on the melted cheese and the chicken was being lifted from the bottom slice of bread by a layer of fresh and perfectly ripe avocado. This family run company ACTUALLY CARES about the food that leaves the building. When i got back to my office about 3 minutes later i anxiously unwrapped this little masterpiece. As i pulled this sub from the brown paper bag, there was white paper tightly wrapped around the sandwich like a tortilla. The paper was almost see- through from the fresh steam and grease of the grilled onions. To some, this may sound gross, but to me, being a sandwich buff from Chicago, it means it was done correctly. The flavor was a perfect marriage of spice, chicken and mayo and was just a perfect mouth experience. Staff -- What can i say? like watching ants trying to escape from a small jar. such precision and fast movement. Great system in place to serve fast and hot high quality food. That being said, its not what i noticed most about the staff. Apparently an 11yr old family run establishment that has no problem keeping the doors open. I would have to say one of the most happy and friendliest experiences of my life. It was like hanging out with a group of good buddies and getting food at the same time. Very pleasant and knowledgeable staff! A+ Guys, seriously. Price-- Better than subway. $5-$10 if you want soup and a drink. The sub is about a foot-long, for 5.99. Put that in your toaster and toast it subway! Thanks for reading. Now what are you waiting for? Go eat there. read more

Tried this 'hole in the wall' today a bit skeptical but the food and customer service did not disappoint! The homemade chili is delicious and worth trying along with the Reuben and turkey,ham,& bacon sandwich. The wait wasn't terribly long during lunch time but I do recommend calling ahead if you're ordering to go. I will definitely be back to try another hot sandwich and their chicken noodle soup. read more

Lunch Time Cafe - Greek salad with delicious chicken - Cafes Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I come here often for lunch. My go to order is always the BLT sandwich with multi grain bread. I usually call in and pick up the order since sometimes they may get busy. And they're very accurate with their time estimate as to when it'll be ready by. read more

Just want to update my review. Lunchtime Café Tuna Salad Plate still awesome. Crisp lettuce and fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, sliced radish. Ranch dressing(defeats the purpose of getting a salad) but worth the girth! I think they must grow their own tomatoes because they were delicious! read more

Some customers invited me to go along for lunch. They make sandwiches and soups and salads. I had a hot pastrami and Swiss on white. Good quality meat and bread. They turn over quite a few customers both inside and take out pretty quickly. They have Pepsi products! Their customer base is from the industrial area around them so they close weekends. As do most sandwich shops in similar surroundings. I only eat about 2-3 sub sandwiches a year but if that is what I want and I am in the area I would certainly pick this place over a chain. 3.4 stars. read more

Great for a quick bite to eat for a break during work. Lunch or breakfast. Great family spot!

Ambiance: A friendly, little, no frills lunch spot located in a industrial park of Phoenix. The owners and staff appear to know most of their patrons by first name. Patrons are mostly blue collars from the surrounding businesses. Food: I must admit they have an impressive selection of cold and hot subs/sandwiches (25!) as well as soups and salads for such a small place. Everyone seems to order the chili but I had the chicken cordon blue hot sub on wheat and it was great. Good sized portions as well. Price: all subs in the 6 dollar range. Service: Staff is super friendly, make you feel like you belong there even if it's your first time here. I could easily see why there's so many regulars here. Summary: A great lunch spot with a super friendly vibe! read more

Egg salad is always a scary yet tempting food. Some places it is good and some places you are taking fate by the hand. Lunch time cafe is both fresh and delicious from there sold fresh bread , there fresh supplies to their happy cheerful demeanor. Highly recommend read more

Lunch Time Cafe - Italian Sausage - Cafes Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

See all

We were making a run down to Marjon's Pottery Shop and planned to have lunch somewhere nearby. Not wanting Mexican again, we did a quick search of nearby eateries and found The Lunch Time Cafe. When we walked in, we were greeted by very friendly folks behind the counter and an enthusiastic thumbs up from a customer when he realized this was our first time. He told us they make the best sandwiches and we'd love it. It took us awhile to decide what we wanted and the place started to get busy but they were mostly "to go" people and were in and out quickly. I noticed that a lot of the people were ordering the Albondigas soup so we figured we would try it. That SOUP!....was so good. Lots of little flavorful meatballs in a chunky soup. We loved it and even went back to get a "to go" for dinner. They should sell it by the Quart. My husband ordered the Pastrami, Cheese and Sauerkraut on Marble Rye...delicious and loaded with pastrami. No skimping on the meat and my husband loved it. The owner recommended to me a Chicken Sandwich with Avocado and it too was just wonderful. We also bought some of their bread to go...because really...the bread is key. I love small places like this where the food is wonderful and the workers really take pride in their business and appreciate your patronage. This will be our go to place when in that area from now on. ...i'm thinking about their food right now...mmmm. read more

Best chef salad and egg salad sandwiches in the valley. I use to work in the area and would stop frequently for lunch. Now that I work so far away I can only get on occasion and it take me my whole lunch hour just to drive to pick it up. Hope they open another location near the airport. read more

I don't normally give five stars but this is one of the better lunch places I've been to while traveling for work in Phoenix. They have so many options to pick from and multiple breads to choose when you order a sandwich. The pastrami on rye is probably my favorite. The service is always consistent and awesome. The hours are kind of funny as it really only caters to lunch through the weekday so make sure you arrive right before noon . I highly recommend this place. read more

Phoenix' best kept secret! Found out about this place from my fellow teachers when I taught nearby. This is a GREAT little place for lunch, and I would assume for breakfast as well. The food is fresh and they are generous with the portions. Good variety on the menu, and good value. Owner and employees are SUPER FRIENDLY and they work at LIGHTNING SPEED to get you your order quickly, so even when it's busy the line moves fast! OR you can phone ahead! :) I no longer work near there, but I'm excited when I happen to be in the vicinity and I can stop in for lunch. read more

Quality quality. I just came in for bfast and everything was good AND cheap. Eggs, bacon , ham , toast and fruit for $6 THATS IT! I'm sure the sammies are good but il have to update that. read more

Good, simple food. Fresh, well priced. Very busy at lunch time! Variety of traditional American sandwiches, hot and cold. Both the BLT and the Italian sausage were really delicious. read more

Got introduced to this place by an old coworker of mine back in 2010! Their breakfast burritos are my favorite! They cook them right then and there so you know you're getting a fresh meal! Their green sauce!!! To die for! I just love everything about this place. Will always continue to go back! read more

Just moved into the neighborhood and wanted to find a good place to grab a quick lunch. Bingo! Lunch Time Cafe came up on our search with a great variety of choices. Ordered the BBQ/mushrooms/onions spicy on wheat and it was DELICIOUS!! Husband had the Chicken Cordon bleu and put a customer on hold just to yell out that he loved it! We're foodies so we have an above average expectation every time we eat food so we are thrilled to have found LTC. Next test to make us loyal was the service which was genuinely friendly like they wanted to do business (go figure). Last is price which was reasonable especially since the portions were good ingredients. You're our new favorite and can't wait to try everything you have on your menu because I'm quite confident each will be delightful! read more

Amazing sandwiches and soup. Today I had the albondigas soup and the roast beef sandwich. They were both so good. The wait staff was friendly and helpful as well!This is the second time I have eaten here and I am truly impressed! read more

Was looking for a change of pace recently. I love hidden treasures in the valley and figured I'd try this one. After all, it was rated 5 stars. I tried the chicken filet sandwich just like the picture. The first half was good until I noticed it was precooked frozen chicken, like the bags that Costco sells. Because of that I don't think I'll be coming here again. I feel that there are better sandwich shops around the area. 3/5 stars I feel is more than generous of a rating. read more

Breakfast burrito, spicy chicken soup (fresh every Tuesday) are amazing!!! Plus the owners a sweethearts!! Best breakfast burrito!
