Apple Pie
Hannah C.

It was kismet that we came here when we did since we learned the cafe is usually closed for the winter and not open again until March. There was a special event in the town so the cafe was open for that. We stopped for lunch and it was superb. They had a limited menu but we wanted for nothing. My husband got the rueben, my daughter and I shared the turkey avocado croissant, both came with their homemade pickles...*pause for effect*...They. Were. AMAZING! This cafe is a gem! They also make their own dough for their homemade, out of this world, pies! I've never had a pie crust that I crave more than the actual filling. I will drive back to this city just for this pie. We shopped in their attached market which has a case full of their pies + other treats like strawberry cake, individual cherry tart cheesecakes, danishes, etc. They also have another case with homemade pizzas, pot pies, etc. Also, many more fridges, freezers, tables full of specialty gelato, honey, sauces, and accoutrements. They even have a meat counter and fresh produce. Whether you're visiting the town or just passing through, try to stop by here if you can.

Locally owned, they seem to miss the mark on what 'should' happen here, but I appreciate the 'fresh' designed meals over the American fried options everywhere. Recommend: Not really, but not against it either. Options in Oro Valley are slim and this is why I think they could certainly improve on what 'should' happen here. Clean up the grounds... Food selection was limited, flies literally everywhere so one hand is used to eat, the other for fanning flies. Be prepared. To get to the back patio seating, you go through a chain fence and immediately seen lots of broken items on the ground. Very unappealing visually and a deterrent in relative to a quaint, eating location. Signage is poor and seating limited to outdoors. As a plus, they have a few lattice awnings over you and an attempt at a water-fall center piece with exposed wiring. Eclectic in designs, I'd offer that they improve the visuals... There is a market attached but zero communication from Wait Staff towards recommending to stop in and sole restroom is inside past the kitchen Food was tasty if not and simple flavored, certainly not amazing nor bad... Refills on Iced-Tea was a challenge and napkins even more scarce. Very minor adjustments could really make this place pop. I hope they're listening...

Twice now I've shown up to eat breakfast only to find out the cafe is closed due to the air conditioning system being broken. Location is temporarily closed. Hours are 8-3 not 7-3 as listed on Yelp. Store next door is still open. We tried calling to make sure they were open but got no answer so we thought we take our chances but sadly they were closed.

Chocolate torte

This is a cute little patio cafe located in Oracle. Patio is dog friendly. Please note- there is no indoor seating and the patio can get warm during the summer. I ordered their chicken salad and it was fresh and good. The perfect meal for warm weather. However, the real treat was the market on the other side. I got their chocolate torte and it was amazing! You can find fresh Italian desserts homemade there. You should definitely drop in if you're in town.

Eggs w/ chile relleno - wonderful!

Great place for a stop after a visit to Oracle SP. Love their patio out back. Started with a cup of coffee which was very good. A group of bikers came in just after we did, so they got our order going in a hurry and it came out promptly. I had the chile rellenos with eggs over easy - a combo I have never had before, but it was truly excellent. Love their salsa (a little smokey flavor). My wife had the crepes with blueberry, and I am happy to report that I HAD to help her finish it. Really great. Stopped in their little market after our meal to see what they had and picked up some locally roasted coffee. Worth checking out! This was our first visit, but it will definitely be a destination for us after this!!

Birds bathing on the patio

The most vegan-friendly place in Oracle, AZ We drove two hours south of Phoenix to zipline at the Arizona Zipline Adventures and dropped by the Oracle Patio Cafe afterwards to grab brunch. Searched beforehand and Patio Cafe is the most vegan-friendly place in the area. Ordered the "chorizo" scrapple. Before this, I did not know what a scrapple was so did not have anything to compare it to. I thought the crimini mushrooms and squash were real nice; the microgreens was a nice touch. I also had a few bites of the hemp tamales that someone else ordered. The tamales are made from nearby Tuscon and a taste of the spicy one was probably the best bite of the meal. Patio Cafe is family owned and started in 2012 to also operate as a community hub. We were served by the matriarch who was super friendly and does the baking. There's a small market inside that offers local produce and an array of gluten free and vegan options. If you're in the area, definitely show some love and check this place out.

Excellent ambiance outside.

This cute little place is right off the highway and so worth the stop. In fact, it's only a half hour outside of Tucson (depending on where you live in town). We were hungry for lunch, having driven a loop over Redington Pass (you need 4-wheel drive to go that route, beware) but was I ever glad I found this cafe with its adorable patio (on Yelp). I ordered the Grinder with its house-made pickles and my guy got their filet mignon chili-both SO delicious! Homemade French bread for the Grinder that had ALL the fixings, and the corn tortilla, shredded cheese, sour cream and diced red onion were perfect with the chili. Nevermind the homemade (almost everything is in this place) Sangria and Scone of the Day. Yep, you heard right, they make a gorgeous scone every morning. This one was a cinnamon apple raisin - truly delicious. The waitress actually made the Sangria, which was refreshing and a perfect balance of fruit and wine. I loved our waitress too-so down to earth and helpful. Everything came out super fast from the kitchen. You could tell the cafe is like a well-oiled machine run by a happy family. They even sell their homemade pies, cinnamon rolls, and more in their shop at front of restaurant. I picked up a summer sausage and would've added locally grown mushrooms and steak to the mix but we didn't bring a cooler. Next time. We will be back.

Ultimate grilled cheese
Christina Z.

Stopped by for lunch takeout while hiking in Oracle State Park and am so happy that we did - the food was tasty, the pastries are homemade, and the market has a variety of organic and plant-based products. My only regret is not getting more pastries! For lunch, we had the ultimate grilled cheese and the pancetta guava grilled cheese. Both were pretty big sandwiches and filled with so much melted cheesy goodness and nicely balanced with the saltiness of the bacon/pancetta and freshness of tomato/guava jam. The pesto aioli on the ultimate added another creamy and salty element to the sandwich. Sandwiches come with a side of housemade pickles which my husband enjoyed, and I changed my side to housemade potato chips - not too oily and a good side portion. For pastries, we grabbed a pan au chocolat and the scone of the day (bacon, cheddar, green onion) which we enjoyed at home post-hike. The pan au chocolat was so buttery and good, and the scone was amazing! We will definitely be coming back here the next time we are hiking at the state park or are in the area!

We had the breakfast sandwiches this time and they came out piping hot and were on point. You would pay as much if not more by going to a soul less corporate restaurant that puts the profit out of your community. Here you are supporting two of the nicest local owners you could ever hope to meet. A nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating with a hiking trail out back. I recommend trying the Italian Beef only available on Tuesday. You get a choice of bread and cheese, and whether you want the bread toasted. I feel a need to repeat everything on the menu is affordable. We can't seem to leave without at least one of the chocolate chip cookies.

First time being back in Oracle AZ from Las Vegas and my wife wanted to try this place after…read morehearing about it from her sister's recommendation. Since it was breakfast time, she got a breakfast sandwich, which you can choose what you want on it from their list of ingredients. It comes on a croissant. She got ham, eggs, pepper jack cheese since that's her favorite lol. Eggs are seasoned pretty well. She liked the sandwich. She also wanted to try their pasta salad which you can add different veggies from their list. She was hoping for cheese in it but she said it was good. We will try this place again for lunch and I will post another review for that! Very nice people to talk to, it was easy to order. Has a very simple menu. Lots of beautiful outdoor space. It's a very cute, little place to eat. Excited to try more on the menu
