| - I went here last Sunday with my boyfriend because we decided to try all of the lesser known cafes in the phoenix area. i read some of the yelp reviews and was wary since most talked of the 'organic' foods. for some reason, i always believed organic to be those extremely healthy foods that taste like dirt. luckily, i left this place enlightened of my ignorant knowledge of this type of food.
we arrived as the sun was going down on one of phoenix's very seldom rainy days and decided to sit outside on the covered patio since the temperature wasn't killer. for being outside, it was still very nice quality seating, i.e. not the regular 'patio furniture' of most cafes. the inside was bustling, but we experienced a very quiet atmosphere since no one else venture to the outside area.
After perusing the menu for some time, and asking a wandering waiter, who seemed very knowledgeable about the menu, about the specials, My boyfriend got a burger with fries and i decided to go out of my box and try the veggie burger, substituting the organic salad with french fries.
Our food arrived promptly but i was dismayed to find that an organic salad was still my side. However, being in the restaurant business myself, i decided not to complain and just give it a go. i am sure glad i did! the salad was delicious with a vinaigrette dressing that was not as overbearing as many ive had. i actually enjoyed the mix of greens, carrots, and sweet corn. as for the veggie burger, it was the best ive ever had. the taste to me almost resembling a tortilla soup.(try it and you'll understand) i would order it regularly without a second thought, this coming from a girl who rarely ever orders anything outside a regular burger.
That being said, my boyfriends burger was to die for. the absolute BEST burger ive had in years. the meat was cooked to order and moist. that along with the, what i believed to be strange at the time, pairing of goat cheese, pesto, and an heirloom tomato was heaven on the taste buds.
The only downside to the meal was that i believe our waitress forgot about us after serving our food, as we never got a refill on drinks, nor did she check on us until we were ready for our check.
overall, it was a delicious meal, and we will be going back ASAP to try more organic foods. cant believe i missed out on it for so long!
