Phoenix Alicia C.

This is such a cute place to have brunch. I love the decor and the chic ambiance. There wasn't a long wait to be seated or receive service. You feel like you're at an upscale lounge even though you are in a strip mall. Completely unexpected. We unfortunately did not get the chance to try the fusion food so we will be back!

new chicken sandwich
Cindy C.

A friend recommended Monae Fusion recently so we had to try it. I ordered their new chicken sandwich but forgot the name of it. It was so delicious and fresh. It's pretty large sandwich so I should've saved half for later but couldn't help myself from gobbling it all up. My friend ordered their pancake breakfast plate and she really enjoyed it too. The side salad was very fresh with incredible dressing. Service is excellent and the dining room is very cozy and beautifully decorated. Their drinks especially coffee look really good; we will try them next time.

I was delighted to invite my 86th year old friend to celebrate at Monae's; she had never been. She loved the atmosphere, the beautiful Christian music, and of course the food! We had the strawberry crepes breakfast, which were delicious; it is only served on Thursdays!

Lemon cupcake
Catharine M.

Cute cafe with friendly service and tasty food (and free wifi!) I came by during a workday with my laptop. I was almost immediately greeted by (I believe she is the owner based on responses I've seen on Yelp) and she stopped by my table to tell me that I didn't need to feel rushed. This was incredibly kind of her to say, because oftentimes when I do bring my laptop I am rushed by waitstaff even if I'm ordering food and eating a meal. Very nice! Wifi was pretty good, too. The food was very good! I had a turkey and pesto sandwich and it was fresh and delicious. I also had a dessert: ordered one of their cupcakes and got the lemon one. Cupcake was cold. Not my favorite way to enjoy a cupcake nor did I realize it was refrigerated or may not have gotten it. But nonetheless it was flavorful and baked well. I also enjoyed a cup of decaf coffee and they had a huge menu of drinks to choose from. Service was kind and attentive (but not *too* attentive) which is very appreciated! The atmosphere is well-decorated to what you would expect an Instagram-meets-Pinterest board. It's got faux greenery and jewel tones. They play music in there that's quite loud if the dining room is empty. The music is a mix of Christian rock and gospel music. Overall I am really glad I stopped in! I was disappointed they were sold out/not offering their whole menu, but I'd definitely recommend it!

Pancakes
Marva R.

I think I am to Texan sometimes because I look at portion sizes. The portions are a little small but the food was good. I also had great service. The pancakes someone called to heaven to make sure they were as fluffy as a cloud. I loved it!

Coconut lime refresher

I have never sat down at a restaurant and enjoyed everything on my plate like I have here. We visited for the first time today and decided we will most definitely be returning for more. The restaurant itself is beautiful and well lit. It was clean and well taken care of. Our party of several guests was seated immediately upon arrival. The menu features an impressive selection of handcrafted refreshments, including artisan smoothies, specialty coffees, and teas, eschewing traditional sodas and standard juices in favor of higher-quality offerings. I ordered the coconut lime refresher, which was exceptionally bright and refreshing. The chicken tacos were equally outstanding. My husband selected the "Goat Temptation," which proved so popular that our nine-year-old shared a significant portion of it. Every plate was cleared, and the quality of the meal was exemplary throughout. We were particularly impressed by the service provided by Monae, whose warmth and attentive care truly enhanced our dining experience. It is clear that she is deeply passionate about her craft. I would rate this experience higher than five stars if possible; it was truly exceptional.

Vanilla honey cream latte
Flor A.

Our first time trying this neighborhood cafe for breakfast and it was so delicious. We were surprised at the quality of the food and how presentable everything was. I love the decor with all the plants. The staff is very friendly, they checked on us to see how everything was. I tried their Ultimate breakfast and it was just the right balance of healthy and savory. Their iced coffees are great too! Obviously we will be visiting here often.

Creme a la fraise

Stumbled upon this brunch spot, the atmosphere was super relaxed and calming! The decor is so cute and the food was delicious as well! Our waitress was very accommodating, and she gave some great drink recommendations. I will definitely be stopping by again :)

Butter pecan latte
Sondra N.

My young daughter originally picked this place out for us to try as a start to our "girl's day" based on one of the photos someone posted of creme a la fraise (which is what she ended up ordering for herself). It was an unbelievably delicious meal. The ambiance was unlike anywhere else I've ever been. It is beautifully decorated, each table is super comfy but not difficult to eat in chairs, and a yummy display case for baked goods. Highly recommend the early riser frittata!

Kimberly T.

Overall this place is good!!! We were first customers on a Saturday morning. The coffee was good - lots of options. Took a while to make but I can appreciate that. We ordered our food and were told the chef hasn't shown up yet so it will be a while. Weird but okay -- I was prob 820 by this time. We saw the chef walk in at 830ish so we were happy we might get food. I tried the breakfast with eggs, bacon and 3 small pancakes. Let me say -- these pancakes were so fluffy and delicious!!!! Serious yum!! Took a lot of time, but a supporting a local Business with good coffee and food -- I'll be back again!

Shana W.

The space was absolutely beautiful. The hostess was extremely sweet and the waitress was attentive. The food was good. I ordered the salmon toast which came on one slice of sourdough bread with salmon, cucumber, cream cheese , tomatoes, and capers. It was good but for $20 I expected something that was filling. I was shocked to have only gotten one slice of toast. Had I not shared with my friend and ate some of her flatbread, I would have been pretty disappointed at the price of the food and it didn't fill me up at all. I also had a spritzer that was tasty but after drinking that, a glass of water, and my $20 slice of toast, I was still hungry. For the price of a slice of toast, I think adding a small cup of fruit would sufficient so a customer would feel spending $20 for one slice was worth it. My friend said the food was underwhelming for her but she enjoyed the meal overall. The flatbread was good , I should have ordered that as it was filling but I had no idea my chosen meal would not be. Lastly, the environment was giving blessed. I do love that worship music was playing during our meal and it just made the scene more calm and serene.

This place was SO good I want to break my review into categories…read more Service: From the second we walked into the building we were helped by the hostess. We sat down and looked at the menu, we were greeted by our waitress shortly after and got our drinks right away. We took a minute and she came back around and took our order. The wait for our food was maybe 20? minutes or so, even with big crowds of 6+ families already seated and eating before us. Food: The food was the kicker for me. I woke up craving a chicken fried steak and that is exactly what I got. Finished every bit of it and was so happy with it that i'm thinking about the next day! My partner got a 5 egg omelette and was very satisfied with it as well. The biggest and best part of the dishes though were the crispy potatoes!!! I would go back for the potatoes alone because of how great they were. This breakfast was exactly what I wanted. Ambiance: Everyone who worked there seemed so cohesive and friendly. Operating like a well oiled machine! I noticed during being seated that one of the chairs was wobbly and told our waitress and she fixed it right away. We also asked if there was a military discount at check out, which there was not but they do serve free breakfast on 9/11! I would recommend this to anyone who is craving a hearty, locally owned restaurant in north/west phoenix. I'm located centrally and the drive was only about 14ish minutes or so.

Definitely a local neighborhood spot. You could tell there were a bunch of regulars hanging out, eating breakfast, talking with the staff, and just enjoying the morning. The service was awesome. Our server was super friendly, sociable, and made you feel welcome. I'd give her a 10/10 just for the service and personality. Now the food... I ordered one of the big breakfast plates, and when it came out, I was like, damn, that's a lot of food! But it was really good and definitely worth the money. You're not leaving this place hungry. Next time, unless I'm starving, I'll probably go with one of the smaller breakfast plates. But for a good old-school breakfast, good portions, fair prices, and great service, you really can't beat it. Good little local find. Go check them out!

Annoying, honestly. But we walked around Home Depot next door to kill the time. We sat outside and were disappointed most of the chairs had not been cleaned (almost all of them had some bird poop on them), but we managed to find two chairs that were clean. The chairs themselves are not comfortable, though, and I would be remiss if I didn't warn my thick thigh/bigger hipped girlies to let you know they have wire bucket chairs that can be very uncomfortable to sit in. All that said, the food was good! The service was also good. We enjoyed our coffees which were very good, shared an apple pastry warmed up that was very flavorful and fresh, and shared a high protein egg white plate all very tasty. Would we come back? Maybe. Also: how are you called the black and white cafe and don't have a black and white cookie?! Seems like a huge missed opportunity there! Overall, the dining experience outside was less than desirable with the dirty tables and chairs. Also them not serving food when they opened seems like a mismanagement issue. But the food was good (so perhaps we would recommend sitting inside rather than outside).

The patio is shaded and they have very powerful misters, which made the Arizona heat much more comfortable. I did notice that a few of the tables toward the edge of the patio were wet from the misting system, though. The restaurant was extremely busy, so the service was on the slower side. The staff was friendly and working hard, but it definitely felt like they could use a few more people during peak brunch hours. The menu is fantastic. There are so many great options that I honestly had a hard time deciding what to order. I chose the red chicken chilaquiles. The tortilla chips had a great texture, but by the time they reached the table they had absorbed almost all of the sauce. I'm not sure if that's just their style of chilaquiles or if my plate had been sitting in the kitchen for a bit. The red sauce itself was good, but it tasted more tomato-forward than the traditional red chile flavor I usually expect from chilaquiles. The matcha was to sweet and creamy: not of my liking. It didn't taste like matcha. The matcha pancakes were good. The atmosphere is definitely part of the experience. They had a DJ playing music, giving the restaurant more of a fun nightclub vibe than a typical breakfast spot. It was unexpected, but I actually enjoyed it. They also have an impressive Bloody Mary bar with lots of toppings and garnishes. The only thing that gave me pause was that the topping containers are open and located right by the entrance, which made me wonder how much dust or debris they might be exposed to throughout the day. One thing to be aware of is that there was an additional service charge added to the bill, which may be related to paying with a credit card. The manager was very nice and attentive. The server was ok and the hostess could be more friendly. Parking lot is limited Overall, Hash Kitchen is a fun brunch spot with a lively atmosphere, a menu full of tempting choices, and food I'd happily come back to try again. I just wish the service moved a little faster during the busy brunch hours and that a couple of the small details were improved.
