| - First time to this location, second time to try Even Stevens, still impressed with their food and the mission behind this chain.
Located by ASU in downtown, this is a very convenient corner for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Tastefully decorated, like the other location I visited, the vibe makes you want to eat here.
Even though their menu isn't huge, everything sounds so good. My companion suggested the capreezy sandwich and I was definitely not expecting much from a vegetarian sandwich (I love meats and I'll always eat meats and that's where I stand on this topic.) But this capreezy sandwich did not disappoint. Warm, toasty bread sandwiching thick slices of mozzarella cheese, flavorful basil pesto, tomatoes and hints of balsamic vinegar - words cannot describe how fulfilling this simple caprese sandwich can be.
The side salad that came with it was also delicious; mixed green with sliced cherry tomatoes and a ranch-like dressing but only better than ranch.
The next day we came back for breakfast, and I had the stuffed french toast. I've had the stuffed french toast before at a different location, and while this one was not as good as the one I've had before, it was still pretty darn good. The creamy filling with the sliced bananas are hard to beat, topped with the berries compote. The only gripe was that the edge of the toast was a bit hard, which could be easily fixed with some extra berries compote, but it didn't bother me enough to make the extra effort.
The staff are friendly and professional. We hung around for another hour or so after we finished our meals and we picked a game out of the game bins behind the couch and were never bothered. You can also dine al fresco and enjoy the Phoenix weather. Absolutely a fan of Even Stevens' food and charitable cause.
