In Tempe for the first time ever and were looking for a quick place to eat. AZ Bread Co is located in a nondescript strip mall, right on the corner w/plenty of parking spaces all around.
I ordered the Amanda burrito with a side of queso and my husband had his usual, ham and cheese omelet. Our food arrived quickly and piping hot. You pay at the register and then take your number and go sit down in the spacious and very clean dining room
The joint is beautifully decorated and much of the art on the walls is for sale. Of course I purchased one and it truly is lovely. The restrooms are beautifully decorated and very clean. The staff was not overly nice but neither were they unfriendly, pretty much just doing their job.
There was an older man working there whom I felt really sorry for because he looked as though he was serving out a life sentence.
We both ate for a little over $20 including drinks and if we lived there, we would def be customers. There are many tables and chairs outside if you're brave enough to eat outside and as always, I would much rather give my money to a family biz than some big restaurant chain...maybe when you're a regular there friendlier but the food was wonderful.
