    I just moved to the area and was looking for a new breakfast spot and I am so glad I found this place ! I'm glad I took the reviews with a grain of salt because we were not treated any differently because of the color of our skin. We got seated pretty quickly for a Saturday morning and we had 6 in our party. From the moment we walked in we felt the homey vibe we had been searching for! Everybody we came across was super sweet and helpful. You can definitely taste the quality of the food and the pancakes were just what I was looking for ! They were big and nice and fluffy. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious , we already can't wait to go back !

    Love it! Really cute old school local place, cozy seating with homey decor & good service. Simple menu brings back a better time, variety of choices without over load of dishes. K.I.S.S Keep it simple stupid... The menu is what you need & they do it will. The huevos rancheros with fried potatoes is delicious ! The place is out there at the end of city limits (feels like it),I don't travel this way much. I have work out here & the place was suggested by a coworker, glad he did, really good homemade hearty food.

    Breakfast Sliders with hashbrowns

    Unassuming cafe at the end of a strip mall with country decor and, frankly, terrible lighting but soooo worth the visit! You're not visiting this place for the atmosphere but you are here for the delicious food! The restaurant is clean and our service was great. I picked a unique breakfast I found on the menu...Breakfast Sliders. I was VERY happy with my choice and the rest of the table envied my dish. Three sliders with chicken fried steak, onions and Swiss cheese on a biscuit. Served with your choice of potatoes and gravy. I chose the hashbrowns. We had never been to the San Tan Cafe but we will definitely be back again, soon!

    We finally got a chance to check this place out on a Thursday at 8:30am. They have a good following of locals. It's a cute place with friendly servers. The coffee is average for a Diner. We got the pancake plate and two eggs with hashbrowns, bacon and toast. The eggs were cooked nicely. The toast and the hashbrowns could've been cooked a little more but I guess we just need to ask for well done next time. Pancakes were good. The sausage had a nice flavor. They keep the coffee coming if you want extra. It's a solid breakfast diner.

    Omelet and hash browns
    Jeremy C.

    Wanted to try a new place by the house. Found this place and will say the food was amazing. I had an omelette and hash browns. So filling. The service was great. Sat us down quickly and immediately asked about drinks. Was always stopping by and checking on us. The place has a great family feel to it, but will say. It was packed and stayed packed the entire time we were there. Great place to eat.

I will definitely be returning with friends and family.. The owner is amazing along with all her staff. Love the decor lil on the country side very cute... oh and let me tell you about the COUNTRY FRIED STEAK..... www.superbomb.com. it is amazing

The gravy tasted burnt for some reason. Maybe they used bacon grease that was left on the burner too long? It wasn't burnt but tasted like it. They also didn't give nearly enough gravy. So it was quite dry. Crackers & Co off the 60 & country club is still the hands down winner of biscuits and gravy in the east valley. Fresh squeezed OJ was good. Pricy. But you can taste that they for sure were squeezing their oranges fresh in the back. Pancake dog was pretty good nothing to run home about though. Scrambled eggs were really tasty - not liquid fake egg or powder. We sat outside and even though we were in the shade now I was concerned that the sun may of been hitting the area we were sitting earlier in the day. And this concerned me because they don't mind having the cholula and ketchup baking in the sun. So be aware of you use their condiments they may of been outside baking in the az sun (as shown in my pic). The service was respectful and nice. Don't think I'll be back especially if I want biscuits and gravy... may try something else in take out in the future.

The seating hostess asked, "Patio is okay?" I answered, "Yes, that is fine. We don't mind." And at this time, there was NO ONE seated outside, so she said it would be about 10-15 minutes. I said that was fine and went to wait with my family. About 10 minutes later my app said that we had been checked in and our new wait time was 0-5 minutes. It was not. We waited until 11:31am to be seated, and were seated INSIDE? No one was outside. We figured there must not be anyone available to work patio. We ordered our drinks and food right away as we had time to think about it during our wait, and knew what we wanted. Our food came out, but we didn't have silverware or our drinks (Morning Meditation and Blazing Dragon). My husband had to get up, go to the bar, and ask for silverware. We had water and my daughter had her apple juice so we went ahead and started eating. Our waitress came by and asked if we needed anything else, we asked, "Can we please get our drinks?" She went to get them and they were fairly watered down from the melted ice by that point, but they were still good. My food was okay. The pumpkin pancakes were a bit mushy in the middle, but otherwise tasted fine. Chicken apple sausage is always good. My over medium eggs that I gave to my husband were hard. And while eating his pancake he said, "Why does it taste burnt?" His top pancake looked fine, but when we picked it up, the second pancake was burnt. We told our waitress and she said she would have it redone. The second pancake showed up and again, it was burnt, not as bad as the first but still enough for it to taste burnt. Our waitress took it away. The pumpkin donuts were exceptional. My daughter liked her pumpkin pancakes, but she didn't understand why they put chives on her eggs. I told her probably because pumpkin pancakes were not on the kids menu, but we can let them know no chives next time. We were about to leave when we looked outside and they were seating a family of 6ish people. Maybe they got someone to come in? Overall, it was busy, there were some kinks... the food was alright. The place is clean and you can tell everyone is trying their best during the rush, we were just the unfortunate ones who got the domino effect of things not working out.

Though, the wait was quite long but I tried to be understanding since not many locations are open on holidays. It's counter service so some delay was that the staff couldn't find us (example: croissant arrived after our meal and 10-15 minutes after the cappuccino ordered with it). The patio looks nice for cooler days, and we enjoyed sitting in the little nook that had paintings and small crafts for sale. Recently purchased by new owners from France, I knew I had to try as I love French cuisine. They have a French Specials Board and a Croissant Menu, which my boyfriend both ordered from. We both said we wished there were more French items to choose from. What We Ordered: ~ Coke: served as a can with a mason jar of ice. ~ Goat Cheese Croque Monsieur: My boyfriend loved it, but wished there was more béchamel sauce. The goat cheese compliments the ham really well, and he throughly enjoyed. ~ French Quiche (Chicken, bell pepper, cheddar): I really enjoyed this quiche as it's not something you can find done well in a lot of places. The combination of ingredients work well together. ~ Cappuccino: This was crafted well and I enjoyed the light dusting of topping (believe cinnamon sugar). The espresso paired nicely with the frothed milk and velvety foam. ~ Croissant & Butter: Sadly, this was like any croissant you can get. A skip for us next time, but probably great for a sandwich. Overall, we enjoyed our meal though I'm not a fan of counter service. We'd return again, and pick a table more in the open so it's easily to deliver food to us.

The woman who gave me my food talked up the jam but it was really tart & we didn't like it. In addition, I paid $6 for coffee. I went up for a refill & there was only decaf. The bartenders said they were brewing more but kinda blew me off. They were way more concerned with the alcohol buying/tipping customers. After 10+ mins I went back up to just wait. After all the bar customers left, a bartender finally acknowledged me & she took my cup & filled it up behind the bar. Supposedly, they'll have a dedicated coffee area ready at the end of August. But, at this point I feel that you shouldn't go to the Olive Mill for hot food, especially at breakfast. They're soo popular that they've stopped caring about flavor. Sad really. Olives & salads your best bet. Nice live music was outside but it was so hot our group decided to go inside.

The burrito was huge, definitely big enough to share, and they were happy to cut it in half for us. The chipotle aioli took it straight to flavor town and made taking a break between bites a challenge. Wash it down with a dirty chai and your Saturday morning is pretty much complete. I also liked that the burritos are listed in order of popularity, which makes choosing a little easier if it's your first visit. They have free WiFi too, so it's a nice spot to hang out for a bit after breakfast. My only small gripe is that extra salsa will cost you 80 cents. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing if you like a little extra with your burrito. Morning Kick started as a food truck, and luckily for us, they decided to level things up with a permanent spot. You still get that fun, casual feel, but now you can order at the counter, grab a seat, and enjoy everything in a bright, uplifting atmosphere. Great food, great energy, and a place that just feels good to hang out in. We'll be back. Over and over again.
