Vovomeena has been a part of our lives for many years. We had a tradition of taking our girls after the end of the school year and now my husband & I make our way there whenever we can since it's a bit of a drive for us but it is worth it!! Beautifully decorated & clean as you enter with clear signs for directions. Lots of inside seating & outdoor as well. The food has been consistently wonderful as I've tried several dishes but I keep going back to the Pain Perdu. It's big enough to share but why? The next day it's even better when all the flavors soak in....yum!! I'm not typically a coffee person however, the way they do coffee at Vovomeena, I make sure to order my own or get a flight. I love seeing the usual friendly faces through the years!! read more

Since my partner and I lived very close to this place, we decided to pay a visit, and got a pretty modest standard brunch before carrying on for the rest of our day. There were highlights and areas of improvement, and even if I probably won't return simply because I do not live in Phoenix, I do believe this place is a neighborhood gem in a good location for those that are looking for a good time with friends while having some food. Their menu on that day had smoked salmon benedict as an item, so I ordered that, and it was overall pretty salty. As much as smoked salmon should be salty, my opinion was that it was even saltier than what I considered it normally should be. The grits on the side barely had any flavor which was unfortunately a minus in this case. The hollandaise sauce on the top was the biggest highlight because it somehow provided a flavor balance for the dish. My partner had the biscuits and gravy, and didn't particularly enjoy it also because of the lack of flavor, in addition to the gravy being a little bit watery. Finally, maybe it's because of the specific donut we got, but the Portuguese donut was very dry and hard, so even eating it was a bit difficult, and the sweetness was just defined by the sugar on the surface. Neither my partner and I really got the hype for it. Even with these dishes that overall didn't work as well for us, I do notice many more dishes on their menu, so I have no doubt that people are able to find dishes that fit them. I would still recommend those around this area checking this place out. read more

I've been coming here since they first opened. ordering can be cumbersome as it's a tight squeeze and set up oddly. Patio can be fun place to sit, but needs to be cleaned more often. Cold brew is the bomb. Spanish tortilla is my go to. Three sisters is also very tasty. read more

Fist time here and we definitely enjoyed! Busy on a Sunday but service and seating was efficient. Food was so yummy - savory crepes were filled with chicken, my husband loved his chicken sandwich and the waffle was great. Perfect hint of vanilla. Somewhat fast casual / order at the counter and sit. Great for a casual brunch! read more

Had to visit while in Phx; haven't been in a while. Did not disappoint; never does. The food is always amazing. Portions are healthy to say the least. And the service is always top notch and personal. Food here just tastes different and home made. In a neighborhood type of location with tough parking, but well worth it. Can sit inside or plenty of tables outside as well. This one is a can't miss. read more

Vovomeena - Corned Beef Omelette Special - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We haven't been here in a few years, but it was time to return. We loved it the first time we came and I'm surprised we haven't come sooner. Definitely a great brunch/breakfast place. I didn't try the lunch or coffee either time but their breakfast and brunch items yummy! The place itself is small and cozy with some outdoor seating. You order first before sitting down. I love the blue color scheme inside. The service is fast and staff is nice. I ordered the Wilcox avenue: 2 eggs, herbed potatoes, buttermilk biscuit or toast and choice of meat. The eggs were done great! Not too overdone or watery. Like the potatoes with skin still on. The biscuit and bacon was my favorite! Biscuit was very fluffy and tasty and the jam was made from scratch. There is something about offering made from scratch jam that adds that extra touch. It was strawberry jam and ever so good. The bacon was cooked to my liking a little crisp but not too soft. I loved my plate. My boyfriend had the Mexican Benedict: poached eggs, chorizo, hollandaise on sopes, herbed potatoes. Plenty of chorizo and he definitely approved. Another thing to add to the aesthetics was the beautiful dishware. Looked like handmade ceramics. Very pretty. The water cups were a great touch, copper cups. There is plenty of to choose from. I definitely want to try their baked goods next time and pancakes. I definitely recommend for brunch/breakfast place. read more

My second time here and the food here is still amazing! Although slightly pricier than most brunch places, and you have to line up to order and find your own seat like a cafeteria, the food choices can't be beat. Noise level is a bit above average, not the place to bring your laptop to sip on your coffee... Lots of flies everywhere, recommend some kinda contraption to control it. read more

Great reviews brought us here. It's an order at the counter then seat yourself. Food is brought to your table while you need to pick up your coffee order in the back. Food was hit and miss. Potatoes barely cooked and no seasoning. The chorizo was delicious. Coffee not flavorful. Both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Vovomeena - Mexican Benedict - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

2/7/26: what a cool place! Great food served by friendly staff. The parking could be a bit tricky during business hours (south lot & on the east side), especially if you have a gargantuan vehicle -- but don't let that stop you. We didn't see the front door at the patio area so walked in the "back" door on the east side of the bldg, ran smack dab into their drink station attendants. Ooops. So yes, they have a patio area that was fairly substantial & well shaded. It must be dog friendly, or someone just didn't give a sh*t & brought their dog anyway. You order & pay at the counter, then they seat you with a number stand. We ordered the savory crepes, Wilcox avenue, a Portuguese donut, plus an apple empanada. All of it was delicious & well plated. I wonder if we could have asked them to warm up the donut & empanada ... hmmm, next time. :-) I would highly recommend Vovomeena. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger from Terminator, "I'll be back". Oh, and their take-home containers are compostable. Love this. read more

So excited that we came across a Facebook article saying people were driving over two hours just for the pancakes--Vovomeena's did not disappoint! The blueberry pancakes were hands-down the best I've ever had. The cashier clearly knew all the regulars and even asked how we heard about them. He was familiar with the article and mentioned they've had a ton of new visitors because of it, which was fun to hear. The setup is great: you walk in, place your order, then find a seat. Super easy and efficient. The entire staff was friendly, and our food came out quickly. Everything we ordered was delicious. Seating both inside and outside was very nice and comfortable. And honestly, the bathroom says a lot about a restaurant--this one had it all: clean, a candle, and great-smelling soap. That attention to detail really stood out. Anytime I'm in the area, I'll absolutely be stopping by Vovomeena's again! read more

"Order first, then sit where you'd like" style service. The food was pretty good, but nothing to rave about. The portions are incredibly generous, but it still feels like I paid too much for breakfast food (about or over $20/per person). The whole restaurant was very aesthetically pleasing. Overall, I had a good experience. I ordered the Johnnycakes because they sounded unique, and I like to order food that I've either never tried or can't make myself. These were kind of like a savory pancake and it was very good! Especially with the prickly pear syrup, but at some point the flavor of the syrup got to be overwhelming on the johnnycakes and I got over it about halfway through (but that's my fault for dumping it on there). I ate them with really good and juicy sausages and a side of sweet rice, which was kind of like oatmeal. I was surprised by it, but it actually wasn't that bad. Again, the food was good, but I won't drool thinking about it. It was just good! read more

Vovomeena - Johnnycakes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The setup is semi self-service as they are a bit understaffed: you order at the counter, they bring the food to your table, but you have to pick up your drinks yourself. I think this would be different on the days when they are expecting more customers! As for the food--it was fine but the atmosphere has added a few points to it. Portions are generous, but the chicken burger was a bit under-seasoned to me. The blueberry pancake was what you'd expect from standard pancakes, fluffy and soaks up all the syrup. Overall, great spot for a relaxing brunch! read more

This was out first time here and we sat down for lunch, there was a great selection of breakfast items and the food was very fresh. I ordered the Willo Chicken sandwich that came with bacon and Swiss cheese, the chicken was juicy and well seasoned and the French fries were right amount of crispy. The portions were large. Parking was a little tricky since it is right off the freeway, and the lot it shared by 3 other restaurants but once you're inside it had a great ambiance. The staff was attentive and the service was quick. read more

I came here with some coworkers on a Friday morning around 11am. I love the ambiance and decor of this place. The service was decent and the staff were friendly. My scramble was pretty good. It came with a waffle which was really good as well. I didn't get a picture because it smelled SO good when it came out that I started eating it immediately! The chicken sandwich looked amazing and my coworker said that it tasted the same. I'm not a big French toast person but if I were, I'm sure I'd love the ones my other coworker had. I will definitely be back because I have to get the chicken sandwich! read more

A GEM for so many reasons! Unique menu. They're not trying to be everything to everyone. I appreciate that. Quality ingredients. Reasonable prices! A small but warm and inviting atmosphere. Friendly staff and service. Order and pay and they will bring your food to you. They have a coffee bar and a water service to help yourself. I ordered the BLT for breakfast and that bacon was sooooo good! Just a simple sandwich that was made right. We were talking shop and never felt rushed or intrusive. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place is great! My lavender vanilla latte was amazing. The Portuguese donut was unlike anything I've ever tasted--sweet but not too sweet and a wonderful texture--and worth a visit by itself.

My partner and I ate at Vovomeena for the first time a couple weeks ago. We went on a Sunday around 9:30am and while it was busy, there were still plenty of tables inside and outside available. The restaurant is counter-service so after you order you find a table and they bring the food out for you. We ordered the Tortilla Espanola and the Chorizo & Eggs. I also got a side of spuds. I thought the tortilla espanola was very good; definitely a unique menu item. The spuds were tasty as well. They weren't overly greasy like some breakfast potatoes are. My partner wasn't the biggest fan of his Chorizo & Eggs. He said the main selling point of the dish was the Schreiner's chorizo, but there was so little meat he didn't feel like it was worth it. Also, the tortilla on the side was cold. A warm tortilla would have been a better option. All-in-all it was a decent first experience and I would try them again at some point. read more

Would get the Mexican Benedict again but will try something else next time, quick and easy on a Saturday morning

We are so disappointed. :( We've been making the drive across town to Vovomeena for years, but sadly, the last couple of visits have let us down -- and our most recent one may have been the last straw. We ordered the orchard french toast, once a true favorite. This time it was so heavily spiced -- cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger? -- that it completely overpowered everything else. We couldn't even eat it. We also ordered the classic egg sandwich, another longtime go-to. Not anymore. We always looked forward to that fresh fried egg with the yolk breaking and running down the sandwich when you cut into it. This time the egg was overcooked and DRY -- not a drop of yolk to be found. The pepper jack cheese was nowhere to be seen, the chipotle aioli was barely there, and the bun was so dry and crumbly it literally fell apart as we ate. The whole sandwich was just... DRY. Disappointing through and through. And the herbed potatoes? Undercooked, tasteless, and honestly gross. And then there's the honey situation. We've been coming here for years specifically for the cold brew -- we even bring our special Vovomeena bottles to fill up and take home for the week. So imagine finding out they no longer carry honey. Honey. At a breakfast and coffee spot. It's hard not to feel like they're cutting corners, because what kind of place that serves breakfast and coffee can't be bothered to keep honey on hand? I had to use "simple syrup" instead and it completely ruined the coffee. Thankfully I still had my to-go bottle so I could get home and make it the way it's supposed to taste. For a $90 visit that left us this deflated, it's hard to justify making the trip anymore. This used to be one of our absolute favorites, and that's exactly what makes it so sad. read more

Amazing cafe for breakfast and lunch options! You go in, view the menu, order and get seated and from there it's a lovely time with great service! Food is amazing and the coffee options are good too. I love their chicken sandwich, potato's, and more that I can't recall the names of! I come here often and it has never disappointed me so far! I definitely recommend it to those looking for a nice spot to sit down, talk and eat! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning and it wasn't too busy but once we finished eating and looked around the place was packed. So make sure you come early there isn't a lot of seating for big groups and can feel a bit crowded inside. The tortilla española is very tasty the sauce it comes with has a bit of a kick to it which I loved. It would be nice if they added some dressing to the greens but honestly it worked as a great palette cleanser. Definitely try their cold brew and chai tea latte it was our favorite!!!! read more

Delicious food and quick service, prolly best place for brunch in Phoenix, surprising that it isn't more known. The environment is classy.

Great little breakfast/brunch spot with a little coffee bar in the back. The portion sizes are huge and all the food is very delicious. I tried my first portuguese donut here which is what it is known for. I personally would have passed on it but it might be just my personal taste. They have a good outdoor seating area which is pet friendly as well. I got the banging pocket and wished I had the stomach to try some other things as well. When the plate hit the table my jaw dropped at how big it was! read more

The food was AMAZING! Those blueberry pancakes were SO GOOD! Crispy edges, soft, tasty and thin, just enough. LOVE THEM! My eggs were perfectly scrambled. The chicken sausage was a little dry and one seemed different in it's texture, like a hotdog. IDK, the pancakes were the star here! I had a vanilla, lavender latte. Nice! Breakfast was delicious! It was my first time and I enjoyed the food and my friend's company. We both got the blueberry pancakes. Service was stellar! Ambiance was nice, relaxed, quaint homestyle. read more

I have had this place saved for while and finally was able to give it a try! I had the savory crepes and they were just lacking a flavor aspect, I think the sauce on them could have more depth and spice. I also added on a donut and it wasn't warm and not super sweet. I tried my friend's Johnny Cakes and it was very interesting, i haven't tasted pancakes like that. The corn gave it a totally different flavor profile. Another member of my group got the black stone scramble and while he liked it he wasn't blown away. The interior was nice and clean. All the staff we interacted with were friendly. I just don't think it would be a place I would return to. read more

I had heard good things about this breakfast place, and clearly others had, too. At 9:30, the place was completely full inside and the patio was just about full, too. Great, inviting decor had several tables and chairs and a few high tops with stools. There's also patio seating, surrounded by lots of plants. You order at the counter, and your food is delivered to your table. Our food came out relatively quickly. We had the Pain Perdu, which is a banana bread pudding French toast topped with sliced bananas and whiskey caramel, and served with your choice of meat. We chose the bacon. We also had the Pawtucket West, with scrambled eggs, a waffle, and two sausages. It was a pretty big breakfast - - I've never sure why two eggs look so much smaller when I make them at home. We also bought the Japanese coffee flight. They are much different than American Coffee. My son really loved them. I like the way they use local products, like Hickman's eggs and Schreiner's sausage. The service was friendly enough, the decor very inviting, and the food was good. read more

Stopped by for brunch around 10 am and the line wasn't bad however fast forward 1-2 hrs later and it was packed. You order at the counter, pay and get a number so they bring your food to the table. Coffee and drinks are picked inside. I got the 3 sister omelette with bacon. It had corn, beans, zucchini and feta cheese. It was good, but nothing really stood out in terms of flavor. If I wasn't watching my carb intake I would have definitely gone with a dish that had pancakes because they looked pretty good. I was a little turned off by the lack of alternative milks, they only had oat milk so I had to skip coffee since I was hoping I could get a latte with almond milk. Service was fast. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Finding parking wasn't hard which is always a plus when going out. Overall I feel I'm not going to be rushing back. read more
