I always wondered what was the secret behind people"s smiles and their eyes. I think TUK Kafe tapped into it. Nestled next to a senior facility/assisted living center, this was the best happenstance for me. Incredible service, happiest of faces sitting around, quaint and cheerful environment inside and outside (including a bicycle converted to a stand) and pretty yummy food at an astonishingly affordable price. They serve coffee and tea, along with happy hour specials. I loved the blueberry muffin, slider trio and turkey chipotle wrap. Service is sit down while you order at the front. Bring cash for tipping since it is cashless and takes cards. Come here. Sit awhile. Then you'll thank life for its beauty. You'll be reminded of how lucky you are to be a part of it. read more

This is a 3.5. Very cute place. Lots of seating inside and out. Great concept. The food was pretty good. Not a fan of the iced tea, it did not taste super fresh. I had the sliders and onion rings and my friend had a breakfast bowl and side salad. read more

This is a great spot for a quiet gathering in a beautiful space. The breakfast offered is limited, but sounded great. I went for a simple blueberry muffin and a tea. Friendly service although it seems understaffed. Take notice that they close at 2:00 pm. read more

Always great food. I like the changing menu. I like all the omelet selections I get over time. Always nice and clean. Staff is friendly, the new staff is even more friendly. There is a cubano being offered this month. Going to have to come back for that one. Now that the weather has cooled outdoor dining is great on the patio. Love this place and still a hidden gem in Ahwatukee. Great in the morning. read more

I sooooo wanted to love this cute place.. found it on Yelp. The inside is adorable but the food is terrible. You know it's bad when they are out of several items and they already have a small menu. The fries my daughter and husband ordered were cold and they didn't make my burger like I asked and my sweet potato fries were burnt. Service was sub par. It was busy with the families coming in from next doors assisted living facility. 1 worker at the front and she was overwhelmed. On the upside they look like they have a nice variety of coffee selections. Good Luck read more

Meh. Food was bland and the drinks were mostly ice. Interesting location, kind of a cafeteria.

We hiked on South Mountain with our grand dog, Vicky, so we looked for a place that allowed dogs. We decided to try Tuk on a whim. I'm glad we did because, unlike other places on a Saturday Tuk was empty. We were the only customers when we got there. Other places can be an hour wait on a weekend. They have a limited menu but great choices. The steak salad was really good. I would eat that every day. I think I would have it with a balsamic vinegar and oil type dressing over the blue cheese dressing. Our son described the Summer omelet as light, and the fresh vegetables were tasty. My husband dug into his quesadilla so fast the picture is missing a slice. He said it was good too. If you're looking for a nice quiet place to eat with good food, I highly recommend this place. read more

Read about this place on our way back to Tucson from Phoenix. We're seniors so we thought "sounds perfect". It is adjacent to a senior living facility. The staff couldn't have been more friendly. They only take credit, no cash except tips are cash only. You order at the counter and they bring your order to you. We ordered a couple salads, which we both enjoyed. While reading the signs, like bloody mary - $5, we saw the milkshake machine and the menu for the choices. Chocolate, strawberry, chocolate mint with malt as an option - $4.50. Real milk shakes made with ice cream and milk. How could we pass on that? Delicious! read more

Super cute secluded breakfast and lunch joint! Don't let the location and lack of curbside appeal change your mind, this is a hidden gem. Free WiFi, friendly staff and great "but limited" food options. read more

This place is very well decorated and great for groups!! There are lots of seating downstairs and upstairs! Very causal environment and not too loud. They were serving breakfast and lunch. I went with the breakfast option and it was really yummy, but I saw some lunch items that were brought out to other tables and it looked delicious!! Denver Omelet: The omelet was perfectly cooked! They had lots of protein in the omelet. The has brown was not as crispy though. I love the environment here and the decorations. I will definitely come back and try out the other menu items. I would try the outside seating area next time. The customer service was great!! They were very good with recommendations and what they think we will like to try out. Come with friends and family! read more

This little gem is just a perfect hideaway for Brunch! So it's a little confusing as you will need to pull into what looks like your going visit the Seniors Apartments, well it's connected, so you will need to use their visitor parking lot. I'm sorry I didn't take a photo of my food, once it was served at our table, I immediately dove in! But I ordered the Denver Omelette, YUM! read more

The reviews were terrific and I'd never heard of this place before. You order and pay at the counter before hand. The presentation of the eggs Benedict was very nice. the potatoes were somewhat undercooked so the texture wasn't good, but the taste was ok. I ate one of the egg, ham and English muffin towers and although the egg was pretty runny, it wasn't until I accidentally over turned the second egg that I saw it was waaaaayyyyy undercooked. No way I was going to heighten my risk food poisoning from consuming a second undercooked egg. Since I had already paid, I just left. read more

I've stopped by several times now. Coffee is just okay. I think the main draw of this place is the atmosphere. Definitely PLENTY of seating if you plan on getting some serious work done here. My favorite thing about this place is that there is a lot of natural light and great air flow. I haven't tried most things on their menu (only their coffee), but it'll be fun to try the different food options read more

What a quiet and nice place for a quick lunch that is not fast food! Love the cheese burger, yummy. Good wine selection and worth trying read more

Good food at reasonable prices. 2 brunches with 2 drinks for $15. I got the blueberry granola pancakes (qty 4) which were really good. I had a bite of my mom's omelet, which was a combination of of sausage, cheese, spinach and tomatoes and that was also quite good. There were no sides to the omelet (no potatoes or toast or whatever) but my mom's appetite was satisfied at the end. I couldn't finish the pancakes as it was a lot. I took a look at their alcohol prices and those were really really reasonable. read more

Decent food, great value, but the service needs attention! Recommended, but with caveats (read on...) I discovered TŪK Urban Cafe when one of my Yelp friends bookmarked it. It's located in far southeastern Ahwatukee, hence the neat name: TŪK's! Since it's nearby, five of us decided to try it for Sunday brunch. TŪK's has been open about a month, so we figured they'd have their act together - but we were wrong! Food: I'm happy to say, the food was decent. But we were disappointed that TŪK's was't serving their normal "full" menu on Sunday. Instead, they had several items listed on a chalk board: TŪK Omelet, Oro Burger, BlueBerry Granola Pancakes, Roast Beef Melt, and Spinach Harvest Salad. I opted for the TŪK Omelet, which was on the small side, but not bad for the price. The flavors were fine, but the omelet didn't have much sausage, so I added some hot sauce to make it more interesting. Like everything we ordered, it was served on a plastic dish with plastic utensils. I also had plain black coffee which was excellent. My friends ordered the omelet and the Oro Burger. They all agreed, the food was good, and would like to return during the week to try other menu items. They also have a selection of coffee drinks and a little bar serving alcohol. Cost: I paid $7.88 including tax for my omelet and coffee, which I thought was very reasonable. Service: At TŪK, you order at the counter and they bring your food when it's ready. This is where the wheels fell off! Five of us ordered at the same time, with four separate checks. Two of us received our drinks fairly quickly, and my omelet wasn't too far behind. But it took a long time for them to bring the other orders - as in probably 15-20 minutes after I received mine! Not only that, they totally lost one person's burger order, and another person's coffee order. We certainly didn't expect this, since they appeared to have plenty of staff. They never came around to the table to check on us, so we finally went to the register to ask for the missing orders. Eventually, one worker (probably the manager) came to check on us, and apologized for the mix-up. Atmosphere: TŪK's is a very open space, with an upstairs "loft", a spacious downstairs area, and if the weather's good (it was when we were there), large garage doors that open to the outside patios. I really enjoyed the overall feel of the place, with lots of tile and brick. It has a casual feel, and would be a nice place to come and just hang-out. Overall: TŪK's Urban Cafe has a neat vibe, decent food, and is a good value. They really need to focus on better training for the staff to bring the service to an "acceptable" level. The atmosphere and food will bring me back again after a few weeks, and I'll add a star if they improve their service. read more

I LOVE eating at the Tuk! The food is delicious and the staff is beyond friendly and accommodating!

very cool atmosphere and nice employees. limited menus but it's good food. it would be nice if they would open daily and for dinner as well. the "manager" of the place is about as helpful as a coffee cup made out of ice, but the other people that work here are very nice. i asked him to help me and he was too busy managing I guess he's too import to help customers. I would give another star if not for him. read more

What a hidden gem for some quick bites. The place is spotless and absolutely adorable. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner items with alcohol beverages for those who would like a drink. They offer comedy hour as well. The coffee was delicious You can eat inside or outside. This is perfect weather to enjoy a weekend breakfast before doing your errands. The lovely waitress from Germany was so sweet. We will be back even if it's for a snack. read more

What a neat space. It's easy to miss and connected to a senior citizen center, but it's delicious. The coffee was excellent, as were the buffalo bites. The service was also top notch!

Stopped by for a quick lunch with my dad at this spot. Quite the hidden gem I must say! I really loved the simplicity of the menu and they swapped out the potatoes for bacon for our low carb diets. The atmosphere is really what will bring me back. I could totally see myself with a group of friends getting some drinks and bringing our laptops upstairs or coming with my hubby to read a book and have some coffee. Really great service and we tried the soup of the day which was amazing. read more

We found this place through Yelp while searching for brunch. It seemed very spacious so we decided to try it out. The restaurant is located in an unusual location. It is located within a senior living facility. At first, we wondered if we had arrived at the correct place. Then we wondered if it was only for the residents of the senior living place. However, we eventually realized it was open to the public as we saw other people walking towards the entrance from the parking lot. The interior is spacious and modern. It has a second floor, but it was closed for a private engagement. The staff were nice and helpful. There were plenty of places to sit. They had bar-type seating along the exterior. The tabletop extended to the outside which was divided by a garage-like door. It was a little too warm that day in the middle of August, but in the winter, I can imagine it would be pretty amazing to sit in that area, especially on the outside. The food was delicious and filling. Going there for brunch, I switched directions and ordered a chili burger. It was very juicy, and the chili was great. They serve Press coffee, so even the regular drip coffee was amazing. They have many alcoholic options if you look for those types of things for brunch. I believe they had an unlimited mimosa option on the menu for like 12 bucks, which is a pretty good deal. But I don't know many people who drink that much in the morning. We'll definitely come back to try other items on the menu, or at least to just relax and drink coffee, or to just study or work. read more

Food was very good and fresh. Large portions too. This is a nice quiet area off the main road.

The place is nice. Staff friendly. It's located right inside a senior living facility. We spent $22 for two omelets and one drink. The food was hospital quality, nothing special about what we had. The hash brown is from those frozen bags you get at the grocery. We felt it was expensive for what we got. Plastic skinny utensils. Real utensils would have been nice. I'm sure this is good place for the facility staff and it's residents, convenient for them with several options on the menu. read more

I wanted to go here ever since this place was opened. It is located at the generation senior living place. I would not even know about this place without yelp. It is very spacious and very clean but i was more surprised by senior living residence which looked like five star hotel. We ordered the aloha burger and bacon avocado salad along with the coffee which is same as the "press coffee" which i like. When the food came out, i was pretty dang surprised. The burger was really cooked well and the salad was pretty good. I was looking for the place where i could work for awhile and it has great upstair space with comfy sofas and full of boring books. I will probably go there often from now. read more
