| - Although a friend recommended this place, our first visit to Soul Cafe produced some positive and negative results.
Positives: Great atmosphere- clean, neat, and friendly.
We arrived for breakfast and were promptly seated - which was great for a Saturday morning. Our server was Amanda (AWESOME!). Service was great. Amanda brought us coffee and water, gave us time to order and was friendly, helpful and quick! Our food arrived fairly quickly - a definite plus. Amanda also returned several times to refill our coffee and to check to make sure everything was OK. We could not ask for a better waitress!
Negatives: Food is pricey, especially for breakfast. Two omelets (one was $12 and one $13) and two coffees was $33 and change, add a tip and we were at $40 dollar breakfast. Yes, I understand it is Scottsdale, but if it wasn't for the service, it would have been a total loss.
The food: We both ordered omelets - my husband ordered The Works and I ordered the Mediterranean Sausage. Both were bland, bland, bland. There was spinach and red pepper in mine but I did not taste either. The feta had a tad of a flavor when I ate a piece separately and the sausage only hinted at what could have been an awesome dish, however, overall, the omelet was not even close to expectations. My husband's only comment was that it tasted like he was eating nothing except for the bits of raw onion. Even the rye bread used for the toast was tasteless. On a good note, the little side of potatoes were well cooked and they had a tinge of unexpected sweetness.
The only reason we might return is to taste the pancakes that so many reviews rave about. If we return, we will be sure to request seating in Amanda's section.
