Billy B.

We stopped in for Filipino breakfast! We tried everything and it was great! My favorite is the steak and eggs as well as the lechon. The rice and pickles veg that came with complimented the dishes perfectly. With a couple cups of coffee I found myself pretty stuffed but couldn't resist ordering some pastries to go. The ube cheesecake with warm halaya on top was angelic when paired with coffee. The owners and staff were the nicest and sweetest, and overall had that small diner feel. I will definitely come back for more!

Club sandwich w/fries
Greg P.

My lady and I were on an errand up in Scottsdale and decided to pop in for an early lunch and to say hi to owner Reggie. My lady enjoyed the homemade quiche so much on a prior visit, she ordered it again and thoroughly enjoyed it as much as the first time. I had my usual club sandwich, but this time Reggie served it with battered fries which were hot, crispy and very good! Had another great experience at Temptations Cafe, thanks Reggie!

French Toast
Ligia D.

Good spot no wait when we went. Very small but can tell it's mostly locals which we loved. My wife and I ordered breakfast and it was good just wish the bacon was better and they came around more for coffee refills besides that amazing ambiance, great people, great atmosphere.

Country fried steak
Pete S.

Pleasantly surprised at this diner. We chose this location not only because it was close to our hotel but they serve country fried steak and corn beef hash. Let me tell ya, both did not disappoint. Both came out just slightly crispy on the outside and the portion sizes were perfect. Their home style potatoes were also just slightly crispy too. We had a large group and they were able to sort the tables inside to fit our party of 10. I would say maybe the inside could fit 30 which includes the counter seating. They also have an outdoor patio. We ordered some drinks but they recommended us the Coffee Jelly. Think of a Boba drink but with iced coffee and coffee like jelly. To pair with that, they make these Silvanas, a cashew meringue cookie with buttercream in the middle. It was delicious. Reggie, the owner was classically trained in Europe and all of his desserts was made in house. Let me tell ya, he was super friendly and we chatted a bit. I was given a slice of his pumpkin cheesecake. OM Gee , so good and so light! There is a UBE flan on the menu for pre-order. I would've totally gotten that if I was staying the week! So to sum, excellent service and wonderful desserts with classic diner food made perfectly. They have a outside patio seating as well and parking is on the shared lot. Will be back when I'm in town again!

Scotch Eggs, delicious!
Justine S.

Unbelievably good, cooked perfectly. Very crispy hash browns, tasty and tender pork chops and the Scotch eggs and cheesecake and silbanas were absolutely delicious. Save room for dessert. Great friendly service too!

Avocado scramble
Greg S.

Really nice (broad selection) menu Portion sizes are generous Service was friendly and quick Prices reasonable Definitely coming back!!

a variety of items displayed on shelves

This place is so welcoming. The owners are amazing individuals. We don't come here as often as we'd like because we live so far, but when we do make the journey, Temptations Cafe never disappoints! From the decor, to the ambiance, the food, and the conversation. Their desserts are my favorite! All baked in-house from scratch and super fresh! My favorites from here are the carrot and ginger soup, ube flan, and the tuna melt. Also, the chai latte and iced pecan latte are EPIC. This place makes you feel at home. 5 stars, well deserved! Note: This is a small diner. If you plan to sit in here for long with just coffee, it's probably wise to be mindful of the establishment and not take up seats for those that are dining in. Just food for thought. ‍

Loved this place! What a gem! Service was great, and food was amazing. Worth coming on Sundays to have their Philipino breakfast special. Excellent experience. I'll be back again.

Cassandra M.

We enjoyed ourselves here. Very welcoming and friendly. The food was yummy! The silvanas dessert was delicious!

Country Breakfast

Hands down best coffee in the city! The food was amazing, and the service was top notch. Check out their authentic Filipino pastries while you're there!

The employee overcharged me then was very rude when I called him out. The coffee is not good, either.

Happy to be leaving a better review this time around- I took a break from Infusion after my last…read moreexperience to explore some other local coffee places, but the beautiful interior, great music, and the delicious coffee keeps me coming back. I had their regular cold brew with a splash of cream and a Sunrise Sandwich- both were so good! The cold brew had a lovely aftertaste that in my opinion, reminded me of dark chocolate and whiskey. Service was also fantastic- the lovely barista was thorough in her explanations of each cold coffee option to help me find what I was looking for! My sandwich was also lovely- the Sunrise Sandwich on an Everything Bagel is easily my favorite breakfast sandwich in Tempe. The Basil Pesto adds a bit of freshness to an otherwise very rich sandwich. Also stopped in a few more times on my evening walks for a Lavender Haze (seasonal earl grey sage honey drink: EXCELLENT!) and their seasonal energy drink- it was a Sunset Spritz (energy with grapefruit pink cordial): both delicious. Happy to say service has improved greatly. Employees are on task and happy to answer my questions. The drinks on the seasonal menu are very good, and their classics are also great. If you're going to go soon, I'm a big fan of the Sage honey and a big fan of the cordial syrup on the 2026 Spring Menu. Will definitely be hitting Infusion up for some future study sessions. Glad to see Infusion takes customer feedback seriously.

There is plenty of seating that can accommodate different size groups. I went with a pour-over, Brazil at the recommendation of the barista. It did not disappoint, great flavor. The rest of our group were happy with their drink selections. The pastries were a good accompaniment. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. I will be visiting again.

I want to give 5 stars for the amazing dinner experience at Filthy Animal. I've been a few times…read morenow, and the food and service during dinner have always been incredible. The oysters are a must, the steak is cooked perfectly, and everything is plated so thoughtfully it really feels like a full experience, not just a meal. The dinner staff has also always been attentive, friendly, and on point. That said, I recently came in for brunch and had a very different experience. I'm a huge pancake person, so I was excited to try the strawberry pancakes, but they were honestly disappointing. They were soggy, lacked any fluff, and had more of a cornbread texture than a pancake. The strawberry topping also wasn't very appetizing--it seemed like it was meant to be more of a sauce, but it didn't quite work. I completely understand that higher-end restaurants like to get creative with their dishes, but I think some basics like pancakes should still be done really well. I'll definitely be back for dinner, but I'd probably skip brunch next time.

Stopped in on a busy Mother's Day afternoon after a long walk to get some drinks. Place was…read moreabsolutely crowded but room at the bar. Inside is truly unique blend of African safari, Aussie chefs complete with hats wood grilling tomahawks and tons of meat right in the middle of the restaurant. Decor is again rather unique with a mix of wood, soft furnishings, drapes, brass and stuffed exotic animals (which im sure are clever fakes) Josh at the bar was awesome, not just for me but extremely attentive and quick at delivery. Remembered drink preferences, even an unusual order i made which he delivered perfectly after serving 2 others who joined me. Everyone behind the bar kept my water topped up and the bar free of soiled napkins and empty glasses. Prices were extremely reasonable. Few drafts on tap and am extensive bar and cocktail selection. Definitely going to return back to enjoy the food, smelled wonderful.
