    Desert Pear Lemonade w/ Pink Lotus Flower
    Helene D.

    I'm struggling to come up with words to explain just how tasty this place is! The tuna sandwich & lemonade 1 got is made in house, you can't beat that! They were in their slow hours so the gentlemen behind the counter placed my order for me on the tablet which I appreciated. The store is small & gives off a modern Mom & Popshop feel, comfortable.

    Tuna Melt Sandwich
    Jason H.

    Fun little sandwich spot . We loved the variety of sandwich's . My daughter loved the spicy Italian and her lemonade . The tuna melt was good . Also this is a self order spot . Be prepared to enter you order yourself. Be sure to stop and give this spot a try .

    Queen Club and The Italian Lover Sandwich
    Todd P.

    It's a bit confusing to locate. It's in the middle of a large parking area surrounded by office buildings. When we got there for lunch, it wasn't busy at all but it got busier around noon. We shared a Queen Club and their Italian. As a meal with chips and a small drink, our bill was over $24. Both sandwiches were good but the Queen Club was the better one. Lots of meat and easy to eat. The Italian was a little disappointing. We were expecting it to be warm. That's probably part our fault for not asking. It was nicely dressed but even the bun was cold. The staff were friendly and the place was very clean.

    I LOVE the Lunch Lounge this place is amazing! I go here almost every day I'm in my office. The coffee is phenomenal, they have so many choices for flavors and milks. Their sandwich selection is amazing too, I've tried almost every sandwich on the menu because of how often I go and have found my favorite. In addition to amazing coffee, they have lemonades, teas, smoothies and energy drinks, so there's something for everyone! The service is always fast and super great and friendly. This place is packed around lunch time and for good reason, HIGHLY RECOMMEN

    First time in Arizona. This was about two blocks from our hotel and the food here was worth the walk in the heat. I got the Southwest Chipotle Panini. Hands down the best thing I have had during our stay here. We came back two days in a row because it was so good. The service was quick! The staff was incredibly nice. You order on a tablet which made things move quickly. It wasn't too busy either of the days we visited. It's a bit on the smaller size but it was cute and clean! There is a restroom as well. Highly recommend!

    Order twice through UberEats. Food tastes good. Then third times a charm. I just found two long hair stuffed in the sandwich. How does the place get a health score A? So gross.

    Hot Pastrami Sandwich
    Syd G.

    Amazing food, and the Hot Pastrami sandwich hit the spot! The place is super cute, and has lots of seating both inside and out. Service was fast as well.

    The menu is so varied!

    Fantastic food with great portions (tuna melt was spectacular) with unique, house made drinks (prickly pear tea = chef's kiss) with a cozy, big city cafe feel and a friendly welcoming wholesome family running it with fast service! Supporting local business is extremely easy when it's this good!

    The Albuquerque Turkey Panini. If I could give a panini 6 stars, I would. Green chili mayo makes it amazing.

    I finally made it to a Zooks! The young woman at the front was welcoming and helpful despite me…read morebeing a little indecisive. 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)

We ordered the Biltmore and the BLT and both had such great flavor, with an immaculate combination of ingredients to go inside of it. We also LOVED the potato salad. I'd go for that alone. Service was great. We were approached by a woman who answered any questions we had and even gave recommendations. This place rocked!

    Came here for lunch with a friend on a Saturday, had a good time! (Drinks in photo not from here)…read more I enjoyed my Cast Iron Egg dish, the shallot (or scallion) cream sauce was the secret winner, but I may want to try something new next time. My friend enjoyed the Pork Chili Verde dish. Portions are decent. We sat outside, which at noon in May is a bit warm, but we eventually moved to a shaded table and that was enjoyable. They have lots of fans and misters outside too. I also picked up a strawberry rhubarb and coconut rum cake for my parents. They loved the strawberry rhubarb, but they said the coconut rum cake was a bit strong on the rum (it tastes exactly like Malibu if you like that). Overall had a good time and would go back, staff was friendly despite it being busy.

    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.
