Randomly I thought about them and was shocked they had gluten free bread now. My kids were difficult, saying nothing sounded good, acting all picky over everything but they gave in trying something new. Apples and cranberries on a sandwich, the horror! And she hates mustard but left it on, guess what, it's her favorite! Everything was just as we remember. It will be back on our regular rotation. My only complaint is the sides. I have never been a fan of the sides and they haven't changed lol. I wish there was a less adventurous side option, like fruit or a simple salad. But I think I am alone in the complaint lol. Can someone please open one in Tucson!

I went with the bang bang burger and kale salad -- a side comes with the lunch sandwiches. I was hesitant on kale but she mentioned it gets great feedback and I am glad I tried it! The kale salad has citrus and other goodies in it (sorry, I forget what!) and the kale wasn't tough at all. The dressing is lightly sweet and refreshing. Definitely recommend! The bang bang burger was delicious and filling without being overly heavy. They also had cans of local beer - Huss Blonde and Papago Orange Blossom - and a couple of speciality cocktails, along with various canned and bottled non-alcoholic drinks and fountain drinks. Its a cute shop with a patio and one side was open to the nice weather. A woman stopped to check in - I think she was the manager - who was really nice. Looking forward to coming back for a breakfast sandwich! (And more kale salad)

Grabbed a spot on the patio and it was truly a great place to enjoy lunch with a friend. There is a small market/store inside and staff is super friendly Few notes: - Parking is limited; lots of parking nearby but not available for restaurant parking - You order at the counter. Since the menu is a lot, not in length but customizable options, line can be a bit long to order.

We got the Zinger and Here Comes the Sun breakfast sandwiches, the potato sidekick, kale salad, and botanical drinks. I love that they have 2 caffeine free "tea" options! The eggs in the sandwiches were the perfect level of just slightly runny. And I don't know what magic bread they use but it never feels overly heavy. The potato sidekick is amazing! I would order that again to take home and serve with dinner. I love the kale salad and it never disappoints. Cool and sweet and getting your greens in is a win! Huge fan of Zooks and hope someday they can open a central Tempe location!

To get here, there are parking lots nearby where you have to pay to park or street parking around the area. Inside, they have a nice setup with some seating and then an additional patio with more seating. Wifey and I ended up getting a spread consisting of the Sunny Burrito, Ham & Cheese Croissant, Lemon Bar, and a Strawberry Matcha. Everything we had was amazing and it was great fuel to start our day. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming.

A friend of mine suggested this spot for a mid-morning breakfast, and I hadn't been here in years…read moreso I agreed. I read that their parking lot fills up quickly but that there's a public lot across the street, so I parked there and crossed over. This cozy restaurant was fairly busy and we perused the pastry case while waiting in line, lots of tempting treats. My friend ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes which are topped with blueberries. A lot of their menu items have pork in it, but they were good about substituting. The burrito usually has schreiners chorizo, hash browns, cheddar, sunny egg and chili oil with side of salsa verde. I asked for avocado instead of the chorizo. We brought our own drinks so didn't order any. We grabbed a table on their patio since the sun wasn't over our heads yet. It's nice out there and I think they have some fans going to keep the air flowing, and there was also a natural breeze. Our food came out and they were plated beautifully. My burrito looked good, but it had too much hashbrowns and also there wasn't any chili oil, which was a bummer. Maybe they normally put it on the chorizo so they forgot to add it to my avocado. The egg was runny which I like: The salsa verde was delicious; I love cilantro and it had great flavors. I tried the pancakes and they were fairly rich but I liked the tart lemon flavor and the blueberries, one of my favorite fruits. This is a nice place to meet up (small groups) and I'm glad I visited again.

***EDIT*** I appreciate the response from the business. I…read morewanted to clarify specifically what I was disappointed in and it was just the texture of the broccoli It did not match the rest of the texture of the meat and sweet potatoes. My guess is that your spec is al dente which is more crunchy than fork tender. If that is truly how it is to be presented, I will bypass the roasted veggies in the future. Like I said it was my very first time doing a Yelp review and ever ordering from the original Chop Shop. Also FYI my name is Amalia, not Amelia. Thanks for the response. I ordered thru door dash the spicy Korean bowl with roasted veggies and sweet potatoes. 2/3 of the bowl was obnoxious pieces of broccoli that were basically raw. I pulled out 99% of the broccoli and I was left with very little to enjoy. The beef was very tender and flavorful and the sauce was amazing with the sweet potatoes. Just disappointing about the roasted veggies because I believe there was some kale in there and some matchstick carrots but the ratio was uneven and the broccoli was inedible. Just passing it along as someone who's worked in the food service industry for over 40 years. . I have never liked Yelp because people abuse it. I'm just leaving constructive criticism.

I recently ordered myself the turkey avocado sandwich - skinny size with double protein and a lot of other toppings including lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo, mustard, peppers.

I can't speak to the service or ambiance since I did order delivery but from past experience, I'd say it's fast casual and fine. Potbelly is not necessarily a destination place but if you find yourself in the area, you can't go wrong. Enjoy!
