Tryst Cafe PHX - Lox Delight Breakfast on gluten free toast! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Bullseye win for brunch-lunch today at Tryst on Tatum in Desert Ridge. Cozy and comfortable inside as it was a bit hot mid June to enjoy their patio option (though maybe in future if they add a misting system). Fast friendly professional service and my GF Ahi Tuna salad included an ample layer of rare grilled ahi on top, and was fresh and delicious. Our second order was the fried fish tacos and they received a 5-star review too. As a Celiac, I highly value restaurants like Tryst that offer a GF option for the majority of their items. read more

Stopped in for breakfast mid morning on a Tuesday. It was fairly busy. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was very good. Really great to see so many gluten free options for my wife. She really enjoyed the avocado toast and the French toast was so good I didn't think it was gluten free. I also enjoyed my burrito and cappuccino. Would come back for sure. read more

Cute little café across the street from Desert Ridge. Met a friend for brunch. We had a sweet server named Sasha. My friend is gluten free and they were able to substitute my friend's order to accommodate her preferences and Sasha triple checked to make sure it was right. I had the standard Tryst breakfast with egg, toast and sausage. Neither of us finished our meal but we are both light eaters. Thankfully we got seated right away at 10am on a Sunday but others after us had a short wait. Service was a little slow, but certainly attentive most of the time. We will be back as the location is a good in between spot for my friend and I to meet. read more

Went in this morning. Not busy at all. More workers than guests, Was asked to wait outside. Will not return.

An absolutely amazing brunch spot! Been around for several years and will be around for several more! I used to go here with my best friends and her mom growing up when I was like 15, and now I go here with my boyfriend for brunches at 25! Absolutely amazing quality food and service. And the ambiance is cute & calming. It's a small little shop but quite cute! read more

We ate at Tryst yesterday. They did a great job in spite of being short-handed. The hostess filled in, bussing tables, setting up, and serving carry-out patrons. The single waiter on duty managed to handle all the tables, taking orders and serving drinks and meals and checking on us even though she had many diners to look after. It took a while for us to be seated, but the hostess managed our expectations. When we had unexpected members of our party show up after we were already at a table, the hostess and the waiter both came to move us to a larger table. Throughout it all, they kept their smiles and positive attitudes. read more

The gluten free brownie with vanilla ice cream was amazing! You would never know it was gluten free. Thanks for always delivering an amazing dining experience.

Tryst Cafe has been on my radar for a while. I can't believe I am only trying this place now, after living in the valley for 4 years. But I am so glad I did! I wanted to grab breakfast with my mom this morning and was looking for a more laid back relaxed vibe. Glad I remembered Tryst was right down the road from where we were coming from. We made great time and got a seat on the patio. (just before 11am). About 10 minutes after we arrived the place started filling up. I had the egg white spinach and kale omelet with fruit. Love that it doesn't come with bread since I usually skip the carbs. But today your girl wanted bread so I just added a side of marbled rye toast! My mom did an a la cart style breakfast with a pancake and egg. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was great. I can't wait to come back here with my sisters. read more

Tryst Cafe PHX - Breakfast with mom - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This review is strictly based on the level of customer service as we never got to try the food. We had a reservation for 3 people. Mins you she text you multiple times to confirm the reservation and requesting personal information such as birthday etc When we arrived today for our reservation on time today we were told they didn't have a table for us inside as requested we would have to go outside on the patio on 100 + temperature. I notified the hostess I had made a reservation for inside and she said SORRY! Then ahead proceeded to show me an empty table and tell me that she had a party of 6 and their reservation trumped mine. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! This is the worst kind of customer service. Obviously we went somewhere else for brunch. Luckily there are so many other great brunch places in the area that I have no need to ever return. I just hope the party of 6 showed up because they lost the party of 3. read more

Ok I love this place! Best mimosas you will ever find in Phoenix, good place to have brunch, nice staff, plenty food, just a vibe spot. Looking forward for more bottomless mimosas soon! read more

Tryst Cafe PHX - Veggie Omelet Breakfast + side bacon - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My sister and I stopped in for a quick lunch as I was in between doctor appointments. What a cute find? Service was great and we were seated immediately (11/30a on a Friday, place was really busy) As we walked to our table; I noticed someone had a bowl of what appeared to be butternut squash- so when the server came over I asked her what that was, she said it was sweet potato tots, Yum! My sister had a French dip and I had the buffalo chicken wrap, of course we both had to order the sweet potato tots. I asked for some type of siracha mayonnaise for dipping sauce and they brought me a chipotle ranch, which was super tasty Last note $5 Conundrum white blend wine?? Yes please!! I do wish restaurants would start to offer the low-carb tortilla shells as an option, I have yet to find it anywhere, but I am hoping some restaurant will take up the low-carb cause soon. They are super tasty and I wouldn't have felt as guilty eating the wrap. All in all, a great experience read more

My boyfriend and I went an hour before close on 1/8/23 and were skeptical. We only wanted something quick so we didn't overstay. But, Sophia was the best server and delivered such amazing food. Everything was hot, the drinks were ice cold (per how we ordered) and she was attentive. She made me feel like we were longtime friends and was very friendly. She is knowledgeable and offered suggestions after we asked for opinions. 10/10 would visit just for her again. The cafe itself was adorable and very fun to sit and look around. Looking forward to coming back to sit at the bar or patio. Wish I got pictures! Also, if you like spicy, the riblets are to die for. And the French frys are probably the best I've ever had. read more

We tried after getting a promo on FB this morning. Our waitress seemed new (not a big deal); she asked another woman how to redeem promo offer (free coffee); the woman that she asked was very loud and advised waitress from across the room that promo cannot be used same day and that it would be sent via email which made my husband uncomfortable... lol. I tried to show/explain that promo displayed a redeem option via text/messenger when our waitress returned to our table but she was just to inexperienced to understand how to assist so we ordered our food and I just waited for someone else to walk by to ask/assist. The next waitress I asked about promo went back to the same woman for assistance -- once again she indicated from across the room, loudly -- promo cannot be used same day (no one asked me when I opted in for their promo) so I got up and walked over to both waitresses to show the "redeem" now option sent via text/messenger. ** Sure seemed like alot of effort to use their promo (end result... I got the promo on my way out, coffee to go). Our food was good -- shrimp tacos would have been more enjoyable with less sauce (sauce on the side may be a better option). Also, I had to ask at the end of our meal for drink that comes with kids meal (server was not accessible and never checked back in after we received our food). My rating is based on overall experience -- wait time (25 minutes), push back on their promo, customer service, and food. I'd go back for another try although my hubby may not go with me if he knows that I've got a promo or coupon.. read more

We always have a great experience when we go. Food and service is on point. Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

As you walk up to Tryst Cafe, they have a sign right out front that says, "OPEN". Then you walk to the door and the restaurant is closed. Why set the sign out front if the restaurant is closed? I am willing to overlook this frustration because I enjoy the Tryst Benedict. read more

Tryst Cafe is setback across the street from Desert Ridge and would be hard to see from Tatum if you didn't know what and where you were looking for. The interior is hip and up to date and there is a nice patio outside that will fit maybe 50 people. The food is for a healthy lifestyle but doesn't lack any taste. I had the Kailua Pork bowl and a cup of the Chicken Tortilla soup. The bowl was good and plentiful but I feel it was missing something. I added some hot sauce and it improved it. The chicken tortilla soup was great and I had wished I ordered a bowl of it. I didn't drink any alcohol but there were others at table around me with cocktails that looked really good. I had the green tea and it was good. They even offered me some to go. read more

Food is always amazing and the service impeccable. Rachel was great. she makes a great Lemon drop martini. aske for the 360 lemon vodka

Ordered online, got to the location on time & had to wait an additional 10ish mins. Got home - wrong order and cold. Ate it because not worth the aggravation to get it fixed. The Ruben sandwich was bland and bread tastes stale. Do better. read more

Service is impeccable in all respects - friendly, informative, and quick. Food is delicious with many vegan options. Smoothies are delicious and healthy. read more

It's a busy place for basic breakfast with a lot of variety. A trio of high schoolers running around seating folks and clearing tables. 2 ladies taking food orders. The food was good. We stuck with the breakfast burrito and the breakfast sandwich. I can't have potatoes anymore so I paid the $1.75 to substitute for fruit. Attaching a photo with perspective. We think this place is a local independent owner which is why we didn't eat at the Mimi's Cafe across the street and this review is being kind. They are busy and the food came out as fast as they can, but they need more wait staff as well to make the lapse in time a lot less noticeable. read more

We don't come to Tryst nearly enough, but it's somewhere we're going to frequent more often! We had the Chorizo Benedict and it was perfect...just enough spice. Tons of flavor. Our server, Mercedes was great, friendly and attentive. The "almost bottomless" mimosas are the way to go, only $23! Also, how can you not like a place that plays Stevie Nicks on the radio and has an open patio. Perfection. read more
