This brunch spot offers generous portions and solid food quality that ultimately make the menu prices feel justified. While the ambience is fairly simple, the overall experience is a positive one, especially once the food arrives. I ordered the lox and bagel and was impressed by how substantial the portion was. The lox was generously layered, with a large amount of arugula on top. The arugula appeared to be lightly dressed with olive oil, which added great flavor. While it did not fully align with my personal dietary preferences, it was well executed, and I would be happy to return to see if it can be adjusted. The dirty chai was another highlight in terms of flavor. It was well spiced and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Although it was described as very hot when delivered, it arrived closer to lukewarm, but the taste itself was enjoyable. Service was efficient and attentive. The check was dropped off relatively early, which initially felt a bit quick, but our server continued to check in on us throughout the meal, creating a balanced and courteous experience. The fresh squeezed orange juice was excellent, and everything we ordered was well prepared. Parking in the area can be challenging, though the nearby parking structure behind Pedalhaus makes it more manageable. Overall, this is a reliable brunch option with strong portions, thoughtful flavors, and enough positives to make it a place I would gladly return to. read more

Decided to give morning squeeze another chance. My boyfriend ordered the butter cake French toast, and I had the BLTA with fries. The French toast was the star of it all. It was absolutely delicious and the best part of the dining experience. The BLTA (Bacon Lettuce Tomato Avacado) sandwich was way too heavy on the lettuce and the bread was quite hard, making it difficult to eat. It was moreso a handheld salad. Service was okay, though not especially attentive, as our water wasn't refilled. At the host stand there was some confusion when we arrived. She didnt realize we were standing there and then when my boyfriend asked a question about a menu item she didnt respond. Not sure if she was just not paying attention, the music was too loud, or didnt want to converse with us. Sort of awkward. Overall, the experience was mixed, but the butter cake French toast was delicious. read more

I got breakfast here on a Saturday morning and it was just okay. I ordered the bangin breakfast sammie with the chicken sausage and fruit as my side. The fruit cup was very small but had some berries at least. The bagel sandwich was SO dry - there was no sauce or condiments at all on it. Overall, the food here seems overpriced for the quality. The interior is nice enough and service was decent. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday morning and we were seated right away. They had a nice outdoor space, though we ended up sitting in a booth. Service was quick and friendly staff. I ordered the hangover bowl and it definitely hit the spot! Not sure about parking in this area but it's close to other spots, like the movie theater, so you could walk around the area if you wanted. read more

We came here on Mother's Day. Immediately at walking in it was SO HOT the AC was set at 75 in AZ summer heat & there's no fans in the building. They had the door to the patio open allowing flies in which were everywhere and extra heat. I asked once to have it closed and was told they keep it open to go in and out on the patio to access customers mind you there was only one party on the patio of two people . The server that I had asked, said she would let me know and go and ask someone else about that & never came back and let me know anything. I asked my server and he agreed as soon as I asked he closed it, you could tell there was a difference in how much cooler it got in the building it wasn't a lot, but it was a little bit to make us feel even a little cooler. I understand that it is In a college town, but to have no changing table in the bathrooms was an issue for me and it would be nice to have that. They should take into consideration holidays like Mother's Day or even just when family's eat there regarding the changing tables. Our server was super nice. I'd highly suggest investing in ceiling fans or adjusting the AC especially during AZ hot summers especially on days like today where there was a heat warning. Outside of that who seemed to be the manager was accommodating to our party given the before mentioned and even said herself it was hot so we were appreciative of that!! If there was changing tables and fans this review would've been better but THE FOOD WAS GREAT! Kids loved the Mickey Mouse pancakes, we loved the Ruben, big boy biscuits and gravy and the hangover bowl! No complaints on the food at all. So definitely try this place any time before May would be great! Or until they get fans either or. It wasn't unbearable but because we had kids we were limited on time capacity. Uncomfortable due to the heat but service and food was good. read more

What a hidden gem! Love this place. Food is outstanding- big, tasty portions. The juices are freshly squeezed and the side of fruit so tasty- not your typical. Service was spot on with Jasmine- sweet, knowledgeable and efficient. restaurant situated on a little cul de sac. 100% recommend read more

Morning Squeeze - Salmon Benedict & chicken waffles. So delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

We absolutely love my brunch at Morning Squeeze in Tempe! The vibe is super chill with a fun, retro feel, and the staff was genuinely friendly from the moment we walked in. I tried the breakfast platter, which was classic, and the fresh-squeezed OJ was a winner. The coffee smoothie was solid too, and my friend's gluten free pancakes were fluffy and delicious. I'd say 4.5/5 -- Only reason it's not a full 5 stars is it took a long while for the food to come out but honestly, that's part of the food being fresh. Highly recommend for a laid-back, tasty breakfast or brunch spot! read more

This little spot sits on a dead end road with the entrance all the way around the back. They offer plenty of outdoor sitting which we took full advantage of. The server was nice, very knowledgeable of the menu items. We ordered the Strawberry Banana Smoothie, water and a lemonade. Then we ordered the Fruit and Pastry Platter to share and that was enough to fill up the 3 of us. And the presentation was beautiful as well. The muffins and cinnamon roll came out hot. There was a side of butter and a side of lemon sauce. Don't skip that lemon sauce with the fruit. Perfect combination! They also sell shirts that are pretty cool. read more

I really expected this place to be good and I was disappointed. I got the hangover bowl and it was just okay. There was a lot going on in the bowl and I expected more flavor. The barbacoa was at least good. Now I got a side pancake....and it wasn't even cooked all the way through. I thought Jeremiah from Love Island was in the kitchen. I sent it back and they did remake it. The veggie omelette was good because how do you mess that up? The best part was the mimosa. The service was great but I will not be back. read more

My daughter chose this location to celebrate her 20th birthday with Sunday brunch on 3/29/2026. It took me calling everyday for a week to finally get a human on the phone to make a reservation as recommended from the website since our group was going to be 6 people originally. There ended up being 5 of us. We arrived right at our reservation time, 11am. Oddly enough there were only 3 other tables seated at that time, so it didn't appear as if I needed to reserve a table after all. Drink orders happened 10 minutes later, but took 10 more minutes for them to arrive. 2 of 3 drinks arrived and I had to remind the waitress of my ice tea. 5 minutes later, she returned with it and we put in our food order. This is approx 11:25am. 25 minutes after being seated. While we waited for food our waitress checked on us once, sloppily refilling our water. She left water spills all over the table with zero acknowledgment that she made a mess. Food finally arrived at 12:05. When I mentioned that the wait was disappointing considering this location was nearly empty upon arriving and the only parking nearby, is paid hourly parking. The waitress proceeded to send over a manger who didn't introduce herself, but simple said "I heard you had a problem." I proceed to quietly state that the situation was disappointing, recapping our wait, to which she blamed the kitchen and the size of our group (5). I even explained multiple tables arrived much later and got their food much quicker. I asked for nothing but was not even offered an apology. It's unfortunate because our meals were great. However, there are plenty of excellent restaurants in the area that serve great brunches with much better service. I've never seen a manager with such disregard for an honest issue. Blaming the kitchen and our group size of 5, despite the kitchen not getting our order until 25 minutes after seating, is simply a bad excuse and your kitchen staff deserve better. read more

Ordered the Cali Benedict and added a side muffin and sauce to go but didn't get it. And there was definitely not enough sauce on the Benedict. The avocado was turning dark. It was good but would have been better with more sauce and fresher avocado. Also got a pancake but it was a little too dry. read more

We really liked our meals here, they just weren't out of this world. I got the chicken chilaquiles. I really liked it when I first started eating it, but it got soggy wayyy too fast. It also made it so there was no way I was going to be able to reheat it. The flavor was really good and maybe if you were sharing it with your table it would be good, but I would not get it again. My boyfriend got the corned beef hash. It was pretty good, but not the best ever. He would get it again though. Our waitress was GREAT! I think her name was Red. Super attentive. She refilled my tea constantly! She was the best part of the visit. It is a pretty cute, lively environment which is nice! read more

Came to Arizona on a work trip and saw this gem while walking to our meeting spot and wow! I ordered the Chilaques. It was so amazing! The portion was pretty big and although I was full I took my time eating because it was so good! The service was quick and our waitress was great at recommendations. The freshly pressed juices were great too. My coworker had the burrito which looked amazing as well. Hoping to try this location again. read more

A lazy morning in Phoenix found me at Morning Squeeze looking for a fill up. First, a damn good cup of Lavazza - hot, smooth, and bitter. Then an order of the Phat Country Boy Benedict: two scratch biscuits with pork sausage, poached eggs and gravy. Flaky, tasty and filling - exactly what I needed to refuel for the day. The side of fruit was also super fresh, sweet and tart. A few more fills of coffee and I was set for the day. Friendly staff and a bright atmosphere, Morning Squeeze is a great way to start the day. read more

I can't comment on the food because I wasn't there long enough to try it. The service was well below average. They had only two people working the entire restaurant. After a long wait, we were finally served two lukewarm coffees. We continued waiting for a server so we could mention the coffee and place our food order, but the server kept walking around and never took our order. Maybe I'll have better luck next time. read more

A solid choice. We were downtown for a local event on a Saturday around 11am and it was busy but we had to wait only 20 minutes which seemed reasonable. Patio seating allowing dogs which is really nice. Pretty extensive menu. Even the food others had around us looked great. I got the Hangover Bowl and it was tasty. Not amazing, but hit the spot I was looking for. Super cute ambience and friendly staff. read more

Incompetent? Maybe. We ordered takeout. Big mistake. I guess because they weee busy they were unable to comprehend the orders. Anyways we ordered biscuits and gravy and received wheat toast and gravy. Who would eat that? Them when we called the host said it was because they ran out of biscuits, then we asked how they could fix it they hung up. We called back several times and were repeatedly hung up on. The customer service was terrible here, the restaurant took no accountability and well the food was trash because it wasn't what I ordered. Do not order from here. Learn from me. read more

Food and drinks were good but the service was bad. They sat us down outside, the hostess had no personality whatsoever, she never smiled and waked away while we tried to ask a question. The table felt dirty like they never wiped it. There was 6 of us, and only brought four table settings, we had to ask several times for the other two. We waited close to 15 minutes before they asked if we wanted anything to drink. Truly disappointed! read more

Had such an amazing experience trying the morning squeeze for the first time! Birdie was an amazing server and checked in on us multiple times. We got the crunch French toast and the stuffed french toast and they were delicious also! read more

Pretty good chicken and waffles. Not the best I've ever had but was good. But has a good combination of sweet and savory. Sitting outside in December is a nice treat. Had heaters for outdoor seating. Took a while to get our order /drinks placed. But once the server starting serving us, the service was pretty good. read more

Some of the worst service I've had. Burger was a hockey puck. Got 1 star for being open.

Extremely slow service. Servers socialize with each other and ignore customers. Food is good but it's cold by the time it reaches you.

This experience was WAY better than our last trip here. The hostess actually acknowledged us this time. In fact, everyone we encountered was pleasant and attentive! We arrived around 9:30 on a Sunday morning and chose to sit inside since it was a bit nippy outside. No wait; we love to see it. As we were finishing our meal an hour later, that's when the place started filling up. I ordered the overnight oats again because why is everything so darn expensive? This was the cheapest thing and it was still over $10 for some oats and fruit. My friend got breakfast tacos and they were unlike any breakfast tacos she'd ever gotten. The tortillas came in individually wrapped foil - she basically had to make her own tacos. Now, I can understand how some people would like this, as you get to prepare your food how you like it. But when you're paying close to $20 for some tiny tacos, the kitchen couldn't construct them themselves? My friend thought it was bizarre and didn't enjoy the experience to be honest. At least they gave her a decent amount of each topping though, which was nice. She also ordered a hot chocolate, which she reported was a tasty hot chocolate. My oats were better than last time - and look nicer too. The fruit was ripe, the seeds had flavor, and the oats were creamy. Kept me satiated for a while. Also, the food came out in under 15 minutes. read more

The foods good, we had corned beef hash and carne asada steak frites frittata, the green chile was a little bitter for us but the steak was seasoned and cooked well.

We tried Morning Squeeze while we were in town. Loved it! The food was delicious, and the service was awesome. Very cute place! It was a weekday, so there was no wait for anything. Definitely recommend! read more

Food was pretty good! My sister got a yogurt parfait and it was huge! Our server was very friendly but was also handling a larger party next to us so I could tell she was struggling trying to balance that and her other tables. She was still great! I think management should have assisted as needed with her parties to help take the stress off her. The ambiance is very casual no need to dress up. It's a great spot to stroll over to with friends or family. read more

Our last breakfast on our trip and we couldn't be more pleased. Christian, our server was the perfect blend of chipper, happy and efficiency. He met us with a smile that made our morning. The vibe was cheerful and welcoming with nice '80-'90 style music. It's a freaking happy place and what struck us most were the customers! My word, some didn't even speak to Christian as he poured their water. THEN I came to reviews and saw the one stars and it all became clear. It's busy on the weekend so be patient, friendly and you will have an amazing meal and a great time. Thanks Christian for a pleasant breakfast. read more

Great service. We were able to get a table in less than 15 min for a Sunday morning. Food was good as was the coffee. Friendly staff

I've been here before and it was good, but my most recent visit was disappointing. I called ahead to ask about the wait and was told there wasn't one. When we arrived, we were seated right away, not in the best spot but that was fine. We waited for probably 15 minutes or so, but no one came to take our order or even check on us. After waving to the host and still getting no response, we decided to leave and go somewhere else for brunch. The food and ambience are good, nothing to complain about, but the service this time really missed the mark. read more

After checking out of the Sonesta Select this morning, I found myself at Morning Squeeze, and I'm so glad I did! I kicked off my day with a wonderful cappuccino and their fruit and pastry platter, which was a delightful spread of fresh berries, two fluffy muffins, a delicious cinnamon roll, and some heavenly lemon curd. I opted to sit at the bar, which turned out to be the best seat in the house -- great service from a sweet girl who made the experience even better. It was the perfect way to wrap up my trip to Tempe. Can't wait to come back and squeeze in another visit! read more

Been one of my all time favorites. Good staff. Good food. No complaints. Good coffee and vibes. The music is good and it's not annoying or too loud. Parker is a next level bartender and host.

From start to finish, our experience was amazing, we got here just before the morning rush, and the first thing I noticed was the adorable decor!! Was here me, my sister and our auntie! Every member of staff was so friendly and helpful, but especially Ms Birdi!!! She was so attentive, and before I could even think about asking for more of anything, she came over, checked up on us and offered! She anticipated needs, she helped us from start to finish and engaged in some hilarious conversation, i know i'm going on about one employee, but she truly made our visit memorable... on top of the food which was ssoooooo yummy and yes we will definitely be back!! read more

My husband and I had breakfast here once while visiting Tempe. I like this place. It has a pleasant ambiance and the food is good. We shared the overnight oats, which I rate 5. It was topped with fresh berries and peanut butter. We shared tacos with chorizo and egg, which I also rate 5. My latte had too much strong coffee and too little milk, and I rate it 1. The service was not very good and I rate it 2. Overall I rate this restaurant a 4, almost a 5. read more

Morning Squeeze should be called Slow Morning. We were told it would be a 15-20 min wait for a table - no problem, but it ended up being 50 minutes. Tried to order drinks while we waited, but had to wait 20 minutes to even place the order. Once we were seated, no one came to greet us. After another 20 minute wait, we had to get up to ask the hostess if we had a server. She said she would get us water and send someone over right away. The server apologized for the delay and took our order for drinks and food. Only 3 of 4 drinks were served, we never did get water and again had to get up to ask about the 4th drink. Finally that came followed by only 3 of the 4 meals. Two of the side dishes were missing and no silverware was provided. Again, we had to get up to ask for silverware, and then again for hot sauce. When the 4th meal didn't come after 15 minutes, we again had to get up and ask the status. Throughout this ordeal we remained calm and polite with the employees, recognizing they were understaffed. When we asked to speak to the manager, he acknowledged all the issues we'd experienced and said he was watching it happen - yet never stepped in to help or apologize or take measures to correct anything. This business is horribly mismanaged from planning and staffing to ensuring a good customer experience. If you value your time, pick another breakfast spot! read more
