    Its a nice spot, but to me feels more like they focus too much on the vibes than food and service. I got a breakfast Sammy and the bread was toasted but cold in the center like it was frozen and thawed. Had good flavor but that threw me off and I dont like sending food back. Coffee was decent. When we got there there was a small line but took a while to move since the cashier and a customer decided to have a full blown conversation after the customer ordered. Customer interaction is a great thing but not when you have a line. Just my opinion.

    I've been meaning to make a stop since I live in the neighborhood, and my close friend, who I found out was a regular, was able to give me just the push I needed-- and I am so happy I came in! I was in need of a strong caffeine fix on a Wednesday morning and the Iced Quad shot Honey Latte I ordered hit the spot. There was no line, and plenty of street parking this morning so that was nice (especially considering all the hype on social media!). After ordering, I sat at the bar with my friend and the ambience and vibes were top tier. The staff members I met were an absolute delight, and definitely added a sweetness to my morning! There's no question that I will be back, and definitely to try the food. The brunch here looks incredible and I can't wait!

    This tiny Roosevelt row place is located in an old house on a residential street. There is no big sign, so you strictly have to go by house number until you see the umbrellas in the front yard. It's so adorable surrounded by a white picket fence and honeysuckle bushes. There's a big front porch with tables as well. When you first walk in you'll see a sign telling you to order before you get a table. That kind of helps the flow of things. You order the counter and you're given a number. There is a staff member who helps you find a table, and you can wait outside in the back patio with misters while you wait for your table. The misters don't help at all and it's very hot out there - we ended up coming back in and waiting inside for a few minutes anyway. The menu is small, but it has a lot of good choices. My son got the veggie sandwich which was based around slices of roasted eggplant on the list delicious-looking bread. I ordered the BLT which had thick sliced bacon and a tomato habanero jam. Both were served with potato chips, and both were absolutely amazing. My son also got a Shaken Peanut Butter espresso, which was sooo yummy. This place is a real hidden gem. Our food was really, really good, and so was the coffee. When you come, keep in mind that it's a residential neighborhood with street parking. Timing is key--we got there around noon and we're third in line, but am hour later, the line was out the door. I think earlier is better. The breakfast menu and dinner menu look pretty good, so I'll be back to try that.

    I've been going to their First Place Coffee truck for years, and have been waiting to get down to their newer brick and mortar. I finally did today and boy was I pleased and also not surprised. You can tell the owner runs her business with love and dedication. She even assisted me with getting more to-go boxes. Her staff are also so friendly. The food and drink? Delicious and gorgeous. The inside, outside, patio, food, coffee, just the entire vibe is beautifully curated but so comfy. That's not an easy thing to do!

    Loved when they were a cute little coffee truck (first place coffee) so I was excited to see they moved here. We just came for coffee but they added breakfast. I tried the shaken mint latte and it was delicious! I've noticed with places like these they want you to get in line to order first and then sit. With only one register and a long line, it can take a while especially when the line is out the door in the heat. I wish they had a separate line for just coffee or maybe another register. Their breakfast looked good, just try and get here early. Parking: very limited residential street parking. Service: very friendly!

    Tucked inside a cute Roosevelt Historic District neighborhood sits Matilda's, a funky, retro, and hipster cafe that instantly feels like home. Instead of one large, open space, the cafe is split into several cozy, personal rooms. I grabbed a seat in a charming room featuring a yellow booth, red brick tables, and warm natural wood accents. (It was busy so I didn't take pics of every room. Didn't want to disturb other guests). Since it was my first time, a friendly staff member walked me through the entire menu. They serve drinks you won't find at standard coffee shops. I ordered the Caffe de Olla and enjoyed it. They also offer a full menu spanning breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Quick tip: Check their hours before you go. They close for an hour in the afternoon to prep for dinner service. As an all-day cafe, Matilda's was a fun find. I loved the vibe, and I will definitely be bringing friends next time.

    Super-cute spot in a beautiful historic home with different rooms, a back patio and a front porch. I hear you can also sit in the front lawn. Lots of cool decoration items to look at on the walls. We went around 8 am on a Friday morning and got in right away, but on weekends the wait can be really long. Similarly, parking can be really tricky. Staff was so sweet - the lady who took our order was super-friendly. We had a giant chocolate chip cookie. It's very tasty and we appreciated the hint of salt. My breakfast sandwich was yummy - I had the avocado inside, with egg, white cheddar cheese, aioli and chili spread. My friend had the Brioche Bread Pudding French Toast. It didn't take too long for the food to come out. And they have decaf if you're sensitive to caffeine!

    LOVEEEE Matilda's so much. My fiancé and I came to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary. We didn't have a reservation and were able to just walk in. It was our first time having dinner (we've been in for breakfast several times- yum!!) and it was incredible. The standout was the charred leek dip. We also got the handkerchief pasta and the bistro steak. Absolutely delightful!!!! I appreciated how the meal was paced and our server was on the same wavelength as us in terms of timing. In a world that's always 'go go go', it was nice to hang out for a while and enjoy our meal. I look forward to the next time we spend an evening in Matilda's and wish that I could have the charred leek dip everyday...

    Super cute converted home on 6th street in Phoenix. Seating on the big porch as well as seating in the back yard with misters going in the AZ heat. Inside a handful of tables and a nice tall bar. My daughter and I went in for coffee and it was very good. Service was fun. Everyone was so nice. I believe they close at 3 and reopen for dinner at 4. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner, great coffee selections, pastries too. Genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere.

    Cesar Salad

    Almost everybody has a Caesar salad on their menu, but you must try the Caesar salad at Matilda's. The presentation is bountiful! The careful manner of construction , I can only assume, as the mixture of totally separated Romaine leaves with dressing ensures even distribution and superb taste throughout. Don't believe me try? Head my words -so so good. BTW try the Irish Gin, I enjoyed a GT with my salad!

    Back patio

    Definitely a whole vibe! Pretty sure I dressed completely wrong for the front lawn - picnic baskets and tables and blankets splayed out like a novelist's dream, including the French style water carafes. I'll know for next time. We ordered at the front and I immediately realized I'd been here before - when it was the uber popular Garden Bar - also impossible to get a table for. Lucked out and got a table inside but had just missed the cut off for breakfast food (11am) so we got the only item left served all day for breakfast and a lunch item (turkey club) on a whim. I had been really excited to try the matcha beverages but was sorely disappointed when I got the Matcha Rose and it tasted like it was flavored with pickle juice of some sort. Definitely had me confused and I had to ask the waiter to shed some light. Ended up swapping it out for the Copa de Oro instead which was not my usual choice since I'm not a fan of orange but wanted an espresso bevy with a kick to match my sammy . I was much more impressed with this on but took the orange peel out. The foam at the top is still heavily orange flavored but I didn't mind this flavor much. It was smooth and presentation is very nice. To be expected, the inside was hard to find a table but we snagged one and had a hard time hearing each other so the community table out back seemed promising with the misters. The only problem were the flies. We were attacked by at least 2-3 at a time and there was a total of around 5-6 just around us. It was probably because we were the only ones left with food outside, but nevertheless very annoying - so please invest in table fans! After we ate, I waited for a box but that definitely took way too long so I just asked a different waitress and then we re-located to alongside the wall right under the misters. It was much better when I boxed the food. Relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a drink in an afternoon gardenscape people watching. :) Will dress in my picnic dress next time!

    Now if you're looking for a place to relax and enjoy the tranquility of a quiet neighborhood vibe...this is the spot!!!! So as you arrive. After finding street parking. You might miss it if you're not paying attention. It's snugged right into this lovely house. Indoor and outdoor seating. Tip top service and delicious food. A great assortment of drinks to choice from... A must try spot for anyone craving a bite and a drink in a, not in your everyday restaurant.... Thank you Matilda's. I will definitely be back!!!

    Breakfast sandwich
    Ziad M.

    I stopped by Matilda's for breakfast and really enjoyed the vibe. The atmosphere is fantastidefinitely the kind of place where you want to linger over a cup of coffee. The food itself was delicious. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and the potatoes, and both were hits. The sandwich was perfectly assembled with fresh ingredients, and the potatoes were seasoned well and had that ideal crispiness. My only slight hesitation is the cost. It felt a little pricy for a standard breakfast, even considering the high quality. That said, if you're looking for a great environment and a solid meal, it's worth a visit! The service was very respectful!

    Breakfast yummy and roasted potatoes

If it's your first visit, the AZ Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich is an absolute must. It's perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat and packed with flavor in every bite. One of my favorite traditions is stopping by after work on Thursdays to take advantage of the $5 IPA special. It's the perfect way to unwind, catch up with friends, and enjoy some of Arizona's finest locally crafted beer. Whether you're there for the food, the beer, or the lively patio atmosphere, Arizona Wilderness never disappoints. If you're in the neighborhood--or even if you're not--it's well worth the visit. Highly recommended!

I have seen people comment that they were too strong (I don't see the problem or maybe some people don't really like tequila) but mine was perfect! Not strong at all. The only reason I didn't give this updated review a 5-I ordered the banh mi sando and the sandwich was so dry. Chicken was dry. The cilantro wasn't chopped I had to pick out long stems. Also I got the AZ frosè and the rosemary syrup was just way too pungent to enjoy the whole beverage. I wished it had been more balanced. Especially when the French fries are heavily seasoned with rosemary--a bit too much.

    I'm absolutely OBSESSED with this place!…read more We went here to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday, and it did not disappoint! I've never been to a bar/speakeasy that was so immersive from start to finish! The vibe was very 70s flight , funky, fun, and totally unique. They give you a boarding pass and a pin, and the flight we were on was from New York to Tokyo! You get a welcome drink with your ticket, along with some peanuts, which was such a nice touch. The welcome drink was light and refreshing, and the peanuts had a nice salty and spicy kick. The service was prompt and attentive, and the flight attendants had some great recommendations. You even experience turbulence during the experience, which really adds to the immersion. You honestly feel like you're on an actual plane! The drinks are themed around New York and Tokyo, so there's a nice variety to choose from. Overall, this was such a fun and unique experience. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun way to grab drinks with friends or even for a date!

    Want an amazingly unique themed cocktail session with great food (Captain's table only) & some…read morelight entertainment? Get on board with Carry On! Lets cover how you get there... as tickets & seats are limited release, Monday mornings at 10am AZ time, for the following Friday to Thursday only. Midweek tickets are available for seating & buying drinks only so spur of the moment bookings. But seriously recommend the Captain's table seats (which you can read below) 1) sign up for Sunday email blasts of the booking link (didnt work in my experience, but read on) 2) either get email link or wait for Monday 10am & next week of tickets (should) be released). Now in my first experience, neither the Sunday email or Monday morning release happened, maybe because they had plenty of tickets left for the midweek? Not an issue previously Yelped about so thought I'd add their customer service was absolutely wonderful & responsive to send the ticket link & helpful with allergies & setting up a birthday surprise. The ticket options are the following. $25 to get in, sit & buy cocktails & watch the other +-18 people get free cocktails & absolutely wonderful 4 plate small bites. As you can see from all the pics the food is fantastic & themed for the trip. The Captain's table tickets either come in 2 pack or 4 pack (seater tables) & well worth the experience. Now the website has a lot of info to read, one of the things it lists is a 20% "service charge" & that gratuity isn't included. Dont be concerned with this, ill mention it at the end. My advice to the management is to reword this sentence or it could be very misleading & a put off in this day & age as now I'm thinking i need to add 30-40% to the bill for service charge & gratuity... & believe me all the staff worked hard & are well deserving. About 5-10 mins before take off, head to the welcome desk at the Wren & Wolf, pick up your boarding passes & walk outside about 30 seconds around the corner to stand in line. Previous review talked about long waiting, didnt experience that as our doors opened bang on time & one of the Captain's checked out ID & boarding passes. We moved through a rather small beautifully decorated check in counter with period 70s time zone clock & boarded, to be shown our table. The interior is extremely comfortable, other than the 3x 4 seater Captain's tables, the rest was wrap around bench sofas & 70s low swivel soft chairs. As your eyes adjust to the dim lighting, the interior is all 70s wood, at one end is a full sized bar decorated with some chrome & lots of unique matching 70s style cocktail shakers. After the doors close, the stewardesses, dressed in 70s style single piece uniforms, run through a quick preflight take on the safety talk, while you sip on a welcome complimentary cocktail & nuts. Whilst at this point, our stewardess brings us our first course of absolutely delicious, mini NY style bagel, lox, lashings of cream cheese & topped with caviar; all whilst explaining we get 2 cocktail choices each included with our price. The announcement is made to depart, a rumble is felt below your feet & the LED screens (which you've not noticed all over, looking like large airplane windows) light up & the curtains are raised to reveal the Carry On terminal.... we taxi as the LED windows display a HD video of take off, all synchronised to the various angles & sides of the plane, meaning each window has a unique & different perspective of the take off. Our theme night was NY to Tokyo, so we took off, flew over Manhattan with the Twin Towers & carried on into the clouds. The whole time these windows are their own entertainment, finally circling Japan & landing. Next, 2 Japanese pot stickers with King Crab. Empty plates are swiftly cleared & its not long until our next course Next up, Japanese Waygu skewers eated around a shitso leaf. Then finally one of the best NY cheesecakes I've had, using crushed up Heath bars. Cocktail menu is large, all kinds of unusual selections & half way through the trip, the Captain announces, Its Martini time & the Martini cart is rolled out to all. After we thought we were done, my wife is presented with a beautiful Happy Birthday Cocktail & signed napkin. We'll if my wife is having a 4th drink, so must I. I was advised this would be at my own cost, which is nice to remind folks, but even looking at their alacarte menu, prices were extremely reasonable.. & we've just had 7 cocktails between us included. As the plane comes to land, you feel the landing gear extending & the bill is handed out. Tere is where you pay the taxes & service charge, but the bill lists "gratuity" & believe me, everyone & the experience deserves 20% here. Theres a chance to add a very small additional 3-7%, for me 7% was $6 & yes the entire experience & service, including making my wife feel special on her birthday was amazing.

    What an unexpectedly fun night!…read more I honestly had no idea what I was walking into when a friend told me I had to check out Bikini Lounge because they know I'm drawn to all things eclectic. They were absolutely right. From the moment the friendly bouncer smiled and said, "Step right on in," I was hooked. Yoooow!! The first DJ was incredible. He was spinning all kinds of trip-hop, indie, electronic, and remix-style tracks that had everybody partyin'. It wasn't your typical dance music, but every song seemed to connect with somebody in the room. The crowd was incredibly diverse, and it was so much fun watching people of every age and style dancing and nobody cared. The second DJ, a younger woman, shifted the vibe a bit and leaned more toward a younger crowd. It wasn't quite my style, so I took that opportunity to grab a seat at the bar and do what I apparently do best... chat with complete strangers. I'm a talker, and thankfully they seemed just as happy to strike up a conversation. This isn't some fancy cocktail lounge, and that's exactly the point. It's authentic. There were people dancing at the bar, grooving in their booths, bouncing in their seats, and filling the dance floor with great energy. I came by myself, and within minutes a cool group of strangers invited me to squeeze into their booth like we'd all come together. That's the kind of place this is. At one point they even offered me a glass of beer from their pitcher. I politely declined (look at me making responsible life choices... sometimes), but then I realized almost everyone had pitchers! So I sauntered over to the bar. I did have to wait a bit; apparently chivalry doesn't extend to letting a woman cut the line, but once I reached the bartender, the service was fast and friendly. Every trip back to the bar was the same. No complaints there. As the night went on, the energy just kept building. Before I knew it, I was on the dance floor sweating, smiling, and dancing with complete strangers. After a while, I had to retreat to the patio just to catch my breath before heading back in for more. My ankles are still sore... and the glutes? Fuhgetabouttit! The best part of the night wasn't the music or even the drinks. It was the people. Every generation was represented. Every fashion style imaginable. Every personality. And somehow it all worked. There was this genuine sense of joy and community that you just don't find everywhere. If you're looking for polished and upscale, this probably isn't your spot. But if you want great music, a welcoming crowd, zero pretension, and one of those nights where you leave happier than you arrived... give Bikini Lounge a shot. I went in not knowing what to expect. I left wondering why I'd waited so long to go.

    I have lived in AZ my entire life and never have I ever been here! So when my husband, my parents…read moreand I were on a mission to day drink we decided to visit! It's such a vibe! Our amazing bartender Eddie gave us a little history lesson, very friendly, super hospitable and made great drinks! It was a very warm day and their AC didn't seem to be working, but we made the most of it! It's a great location just west of the main attractions downtown if you want a more chill, local spot-this is it!
