    Thin bacon, ordered over easy eggs they were not as easy as id have liked
    Edward B.

    Went to my very trusty Yelp to find a good quick breakfast spot, one I hadn't tried before, decided to cross the 1-17 heading west‍ ‍. despite having a hard time finding real time up to date pricing. It's in a rough neighborhood. Started out ok ordered the Cecillia special, brought out in a timely manner, immediately noticed razor thin bacon ( as shown in pic.) As a huge carnivore kinda disappointed, however the Green salsa made up for it. Was going to give them a solid 4, until the owner out of the blue started in on politics loudly espousing very radical liberal rhetoric. Completely uncalled for and inappropriate. After retiring from Union Ironworks 28 yrs, and miltary disability, so 2 pensions i still supplement my income by doing gig work, so i understand about customer service. Rule mumber 1# don't bring up politics in front of customers/riders/clients. And thats why i have 5 ratings across multiple platforms I don't assume everybody shares my views. Especially when you are charging 14$ for a breakfast plate that used to go for 8$ in alot of places 3-4 yrs ago throughout the valley. I retired 3 yrs ago with no expectation of ever working again, but with inflation and higher cost im forced back into the workforce. So last thing i want to hear about while dining out is politics. I've reviewed many times over several platforms in different cities and countrys over the yrs, rarely do i ever leave bad reviews, i normally just leave it alone and skip the review entirely. This left a bad taste in my mouth. Its inappropriate even if he supported conservatives.

    Best place in the desert to have a sandwich. Fuck yeah

    Holy shit get your ass in there and order a sandwich fuck all those franchise bullshit get in here and get you some soup and get you some friendly people get you some customer service get you somebody that can actually talk to another human being. Holy fuck was it good?

    Classic BLT with avocado
    Varina R.

    This is only my second time coming here but once again, Lunch Time exceeds my expectations. I ordered the classic BLT with avocado toasted, and it was amazing. There was an abundance of bacon, the bread was soft but toasty, the amount of each ingredient was perfect. Best BLT I've ever had. I also had the broccoli cheddar soup and it was pretty good. My kids had hot dogs which were huge! They loved them. The service was amazing. They made us feel at home and like family. The cafe was very clean and comfy. It's a little pricey but absolutely worth every bit of it.

    Pastrami and sauerkraut
    Donald C.

    One of Phoenix's hidden treasures. So good that I have already tried 25% of the menu. I must give two thumbs up for everything I have tried. The breakfast item Cecelia Special is one of the best breakfast items that I have ever had. The Pastrami and sauerkraut sandwiches are amazing. The Reubens rock. I could go on, but you get the idea. Find the place and it will be a new favorite. Tonight the BBQ chicken and mushroom. Next week the world!

    Roast beef and cheese #14
    Kyle K.

    Very friendly staff and high quality food 5 stars +. I stopped here on a Friday morning while waiting for my cars windows to be tinted. The cashier greeted me and answered a couple questions about the menu I decided on the #14. Roast Beef and cheese. It is fantastic. A good amount of roast beef with all quality and fresh ingredients. The bread is excellent too. I also got a soda both for under $10. I had enough to bring some home. They even boxed it up for me. This is a very cool place with high quality tasty food. The service is quick and super friendly. It is decorated nicely and very clean. I don't end up in this part of Phoenix often but if I do I will certainly return.

Very welcoming space in an enormous lobby, and easy to access. Chairs, sofas, bartops, tables... the seating choices are endless. Well lit, with a security guard tucked away to keep watch. The menu is straightforward, all the expected coffee choices, and a more extensive food selection than I'd anticipated. I chose to combine the avocado toast and substitute the toast for an everything bagel. They asked if I'd like chili flakes on that and... of course! The cappuccino was excellent, with dense, stiff foam, deep flavor, and perfectly portioned. The avocado bagel was phenomenal, with good, chunky avocado, spread thick on a buttered and toasted bagel. Plenty enough to spread along both sides and have a bit left over. The flow of customers was steady and they worked through all of the orders quickly and efficiently... really could not ask for a better quick coffee breakfast experience.

So, when I walked into the building entrance with intentions to see an art exhibit & I was punched in the face with the intoxicating smell of coffee I HAD to try it, obviously. & they didn't disappoint. The person that took my order made some helpful & honest recommendations, which I appreciate! Considering I don't want to commit to an $8 coffee I'm not going to enjoy, no thanks. I ordered something off the seasonal menu...I think? To be honest I can't recall exactly what drink I ordered but it was iced & about $8 & I asked for light on the caramel. I had to be quick since I was meeting someone & we had limited time. Coffee came out pretty quick & it was a good choice! Great balance of flavor, not too sweet, coffee was smooth. Not too much ice either. I would definitely order again. The space was cool too, lots of natural light, lots of people working. It is located inside of a giant brick building shared with other spaces, parking is limited unless you have handicap parking then no worries there. They also have reserve spots for Coffee Drunk although limited. Or street parking. Now I'll definitely have to check out the LB location!!

    If I could give a place 10*s, Lux has more than earned the title…read more Cool space coffee shops are definitely a thing in Phoenix lately--but Lux was the "design-genius-with-a-latte-machine" long before coffee shops were even a thing here. I've been frequenting this architectural marvel for over 10 years. While so many new shops try to mimic this vibe, none of them are Lux. Lux is King! The 11-Year Flashback: I looked back at my review from 11 years ago when I docked them a star for the "nightmare parking." Back then, I was a "to-go" only person who never envisioned myself as a laptop-hipster hanging out. Well, times change! I'm bumping them up to 5 stars now. Maybe it's the new competition nearby or my better timing, but the parking is a breeze, and I've officially embraced the "comfy chair" lifestyle. The "Cheers" Factor: What really sets this place apart is the people. After a decade of visits, it truly feels like Cheers--where everybody knows my name! Getting to know the folks behind the counter makes every visit feel like coming home. The Sip of the Night: I shifted from my usual plain Cappuccino as my target drink to include in a review to feature their Espresso Martini. I went with a Reposado base instead of the typical vodka, and it was stellar. With two full bars in addition to the coffee and pastry bar, craft drinks truly abound here! (Note: they have an amazing cappuccino too) The Comfort Classics: You cannot leave without the food. My go-to favorites? The Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese and the legendary Chocolate Chip or Red Velvet cookies. Return Factor: 100% I've been coming here for a decade, and it's still the gold standard. As I said in my review 11 years ago: "I see a book, comfy chair and cocktail in my future! Stumble home... Repeat."

The ambiance, drinks, and service were all great! There is an entrance to Lola Coffee from Roosevelt and another from the back near parking spaces. There is a restroom near the back entrance, and the start to the line to place an order is right near the front entrance. I saw in one of the comfy chairs while I waited for my former student to arrive. At that point, we moved to a regular table and then went and ordered drinks. She ordered a coffee, and I ordered a lemonade. We both enjoyed our drinks which were ready very quickly. There were smaller and larger tables, and there were also countertops along with business cards and marketing items at the back of the room on a thin table. Lola Coffee began with humble beginnings going back to 1992 with a cart, then Lux Coffee, and eventually Lola Coffee downtown. Now, there is even a second Lola Coffee location in Arcadia near 40th Street and Indian School. Today, they serve coffee, pastries, and breakfast. The Downtown Phoenix location hours are weekdays from 6:30 AM to 7 PM and weekends from 7 AM to 7 PM. You can see their menu, history, photos, and more on their website (https://lolacoffeebarphx.com). While I had trouble choosing between a lemonade for a cold beverage or hot chocolate for a warm beverage, it's great they have so many options. Again, try them for drinks, breakfast, or pastries. Their staff is so helpful and the actual restaurant is quite welcoming to everyone.
