Always friendly folks and good food with a nice variety. They have specialty coffee, too

DA BREAKFAST I walked into this diner half asleep because my hotel had no breakfast or coffee. I placed my order, sipped my coffee and saw "Mike Ditka"! What? I'm in a Chicago diner in Arizona! Yes! I asked my waitress and she said the owners are originally from Chicago. I totally picked the right place to eat at. I'm a Benny Snob and I love old school eggs Benedict. I don't need pulled pork, crab cake or tofu. Just give me my Canadian bacon. I ordered the Eggs Benedict here with crispy hash browns. I will admit it was ham. I wish it was Canadian bacon which is just really fancy ham. The chef cooked a perfect runny yolk. It's been a while since I've had an egg cooked this perfect. Thanks chef. I also got my hash browns crispy and the chef made them perfectly. Wow! I'm so happy. As I was sitting there I realized everyone dining here had been here before. I was the only new guy. The waitress would ask people walking in, "The usual!" That's awesome customer service plus to remember what everyone orders. That's a gift. I can't wait to come back....okay I'm foreshadowing right to my second review. DA BREAKFAST TWO Yes it's Day 2 and I'm back again. I really wanted the Eggs Benedict but also wanted to try something new. I made a custom Omelette with ham, spinach, Swiss cheese and pico de gallo along with crispy hash browns and sour dough toast. I was really happy. The man who was sitting at the counter even said hello to me when I walked in. I think he recognized me from day 1. I might be a regular now. Ha. This place is a great breakfast. There's no fancy brunch items here and I'm very happy about that. This place keeps breakfast as breakfast...it should be simple. Breakfast doesn't need to be recreated. It's all about eggs, coffee, meat, pancakes, potatoes and bread. That's all you need to start your day. One of the owners waited on me today. She told me her husband was from Chicago. She was super nice and I told her how much I loved her diner. When I was leaving she said, "See you tomorrow!" I looked bad with a sad face and told her I'd be back in Chicago. She then said, "Make sure you visit us when your back in town!" I totally will! Thanks for a great breakfast. read more

Manager Reggie, served the best chicken fried steak breakfast with delicious favorable homemade gravy that he has ever had! I also had a delicious omelette! Everything was homemade and I would recommend swinging by for breakfast! read more

Owner was extremely rude. We had a group of 6 and asked to be seated outside. The owner insisted he set up a table and we said that wasn't necessary. Once done he got very upset we joined just for coffee and not food. At that point he started making snide comments and actively making us feel unwelcome. Never going back. read more

I've been eating here for years. A literal "Ma & Pa" family-run restaurant. I go twice a week, and sometimes stop just to pick up an excellent coffee/espresso drink. The BEST burgers, fries, breakfasts, quiche, soups and salads. Generous portions for reasonable prices. It's small, so you may have to wait for a table--but the counter is convenient. It's worth the wait. Nice outdoor patio, too! read more

Been coming to this location probably 5+ times over the last 2 months since moving to this area. The location is great for me and my friends or family that I continue to have join me. Customer service is top notch, my first time in I felt so comfortable with the staff and they were so friendly to my family. I knew it would be a great place to come back and they would recognize you. The food is awesome and fairly precise. Coffee is fantastic and unlimited refills and even a take out cup if you want it! Awesome place to stop in for the weekend and enjoy a good meal and coffee. read more

This place is a nice getaway from the generic fastfood places. A local mom and pop diner with great employees and delish food. Egg sandwich was soo good i had to order another one. Lots of Chicago memorabilia, assuming they are from chicago. Nice people great food. This will be my breakfast spot while in PHX read more

Was around the area for work, decided to give this place a shot for breakfast. I sat to eat at the bar. Karlee took excellent care of all the customers at the bar including myself. Very friendly and attentive. She was on top of it! She suggested the Country Fried Steak and it was amazing. I have tried many of that in different places and this one is in my top three now. I will be back for sure. read more

Pancakes were not good. Food was okay at best. Asked for an Arnold Palmer- given a can of lemonade and a splash of iced tea. Charged for both but no one came back to give me a glass of iced tea. Benedict was supposed to have corned beef, there was a couple tiny shreds. There are many delicious breakfast/brunch places. This just doesn't happen to be one of them. read more

Small Family Owned Business so please support local. We're visiting from Hawai'i & really enjoyed eating at this place. Gives a very home like vibe. The staff, Faye (the daughter) & Reggie (the owner) are AMAZING!!! The Eggs Benedict was bomb!!! read more

good food, best desserts, place is clean, friend staff. Family owned business. Always has the best service. I would recommend to friends and family. read more

I adored but despise this place now. 1. My food didn't arrive for 30 minutes. 2. The food was so cold (why do I have to wait for my food to be cold?) 3. The server paid no attention to us. I even raised my hand to attract her attention. 4. Coffee was not even refilled once. 5. We had to wait another 30 minutes to check, but the server ignored, so I had to go to the counter to check myself. It's ridiculous that I had to pay a tip for them. When I checked today, I expressed my disappointment, and they informed me that they had abruptly refused to serve me. Horrible service!! read more

Amazing hash browns cooked perfectly!!! Great service very friendly and kind my omelet was great too every bite you can tell they really put there heart into it! Definitely coming back for more!! read more

Average cafe fare. With few reviews and not enough detail, there was not much to go on for making our food choices. The reuben was ok. Not great. The breakfast burrito the same. Nothing wrong but nothing that I will remember tomorrow either. If I wasn't in Phoenix Scottsdale area but rather a small town, I would be thankful. It felt small town good. Unfortunately I will be tempted to go elsewhere. read more

A small cafe with great service and delicious food. Came from California to visit the grandkids. Decided to try this place and it didn't disappoint. The grandkids had chocolate chip pancakes and eggs. I had a meat lovers omelette and no lie that omelette melted in my mouth. My husband and son had the eggs Benedict and they loved it also. Note my grandkids chocolate chip pancakes were fluffy and the chocolate chips gave these pancakes an even better taste! Love this place! Give it try you won't be disappointed! read more

Temptations Cafe - Avocado scramble- already started eating before taking pic (it's delicious!) - American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

My husband and I tried this cafe this morning since it's right by our house, it has a very homey feel and was really great. It's a small location, but they accommodate by making sure if there's no room at the moment, the second something opens up whoever was first gets it. We walked in and it was crowded, which tells you this is this place to go! A lot of regulars which it great to see, I've read someone's review that said the decorations where a little all over and I disagree. It feels like grandma's!! Yes theres a little bit of everything but it's fun to look at and see where this family has been. The prices are reasonable and you get a ton of food, they have multiple options for sides and add on's, my husband tried their southwest scramble which was amazing, and I had their eggs benedict (which comes with paprika on top - I didn't know, wish I did so I could've asked for it without but still delicious). Would recommend for a breakfast date, especially if you're on a budget. On the super plus side, the restaurant is SUPER clean and got an "A" rating from the health inspector! read more

The food is high quality 5 star french restaurant at reasonable prices. The expresso bar is also excellent. .The baked goods are all homemade and not sugary sweet but with excellent unique flavors . I highly recommend this hidden gem . The service is excellent & personable. The atmosphere is that of a small diner rather unremarkable but these small business owners make a point of connecting with their Patrons in a welcoming way . It's refreshing to find a cafe that serves both great expresso/ Lattes with delicious food as in Europe or Australian restaurants . In the USA it is difficult to find a restaurant with Expresso coffee drinks other than those that serve just sweets and expresso coffee drinks . read more

Food was awful corn beef hash browns was prison quality and overcooked burnt onion bad bad bad pancakes from a outdated pancake box no taste. Sausage my dog would not eat when I got home overpriced for lack of quality. I feel bad for anyone eating here. read more

Came by at 1:30 PM to get some food and was approached at the door before opening it. asked if I was coming in? Of course I am She said they were closing and I wouldn't be able to order. Then proceeded to ask me if I wanted to order to go I asked if we could just order really quickly and eat before they closed and she said no. She told me they close at 2. I suggest you guys change your hours to 130 if you don't want people coming in at 1:30. Very poor customer service. read more

Been going to temptations Cafe for years. Now they have a new ownership and I'm not particularly liking what they cook with their hash browns and eggs. It feels like I'm eating strictly oil. They used to taste buttery not oily. Otherwise they have great customer service but you need to change what you're cooking your food in. I ordered crispy bacon, all I got was bacon fat hardly even cooked. I was very disappointed this time around, hopefully they'll change a few things. read more

Milo & Nancy's cafe is a cute little gem. it's a family owned business and we were served by Milo himself. Most people inside were regulars. ~ Iced Coffee $2.75 ~ Heaven Sent $9.25 Cream Cheese Herb Blend with Spinach & Mushrooms. Served with country potatoes and Choice of Toast ~ Custom Omelette $9.25 Hash Brown, Choice of Toast, three eggs with onions, peppers, and mushrooms Both omelettes were delicious as were the country potatoes and hash browns. In house cream cheese herb blend was exceptional. The food is hands down 4 stars but the service is slow and relaxed. Patio is dog friendly. Cheers! read more

This was a great hole in the wall diner find! We originally chose this place because it was close to where we were staying. However, it exceeded our expectations. Our server was delightful. She clearly enjoys her job, which makes the whole experience better! The menu was perfect for what we were looking for - classic, simple breakfast! I thoroughly enjoyed a scramble with sourdough bread. We spent most of our time in Old Town in Scottsdale, so it was nice to get out of that craziness for a meal. It was cost effective as well. read more

Wonderful! Fantastic Service! We only had coffee, food coffee! We had an online meeting. Our server provided a full cup of creamer and a hot carafe of coffee for our small group of 3. Worked great we all had fresh coffee with the right amount of cream. read more

A small group of us came in to get coffee and tea and the man working was extremely rude. He was upset we were not ordering food and made comments about this. He told us we needed to leave if it got busy, even though we were only sitting there for about 10 minutes. He had a lot of animosity and anger and even raised his voice to our group. I had never been treated so poorly at a business. Our whole group was in shock. I would not return or recommend. read more

I went there on a Sunday at 9:00 a.m. they were open the place was full.

Temptations Cafe - Well, This was A loaded scramble. This place doesn't disappoint. It's food and coffee are delicious! - American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

This place is under new management and we met the new owner before the holidays when in for breakfast. He mentioned he was revamping some of the menu and making soups from scratch and getting his meat from a local butcher. We normally go for breakfast or salads on the patio but were out later than usual and my husband was wanting a sandwich. We thought we'd give it a shot. I ordered a delicious scramble which had large portions and was tasty, but pretty traditional. At first my husband ordered a Philly Cheesesteak but they were out (not surprising because they were near closing). He remember the owner's discussion about the burger and decided to go there. He is a huge burger lover and his favorites are normally STK or AZ88. He wasn't expecting this to hit that mark. As he pushed his plate away with almost the entire burger gone, he said he was so stuffed (the sandwich is huge) but he also was so pleasantly surprised at the quality. It easily lives up to his favorites! Well cooked, high-quality ingredients and a huge portion. He said the fries were also good but he hardly ate any because he didn't want to waste the burger. The wife came out to check on us and brought our check. She and our server were very friendly and accommodating considering we chose to be the only people on the patio on this chilly day just before closing. read more

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Very friendly staff, the cafe was very clean, and the food was fresh. Perfect place to get breakfast!

Nice diner style breakfast with a counter to sit at if you wish. Person working was nice and we received good service.

The food was good, traditional breakfast food, but what made the experience at temp cafe exceptional was our server, Carole. From the moment we walked in the door to leaving, Carole was attentive, positive, gracious and happy. There's a skill involved to not being over the top, and she has it down to a science. Our party of four left with a smile on our face because of her! read more
