Long overdue review.
I love the Farm at South Mountain and have been there several times over the last four years. I do not like the Farm Kitchen. I think the Morning Glory Cafe is better for breakfast and brunch. This review is for the Farm Kitchen, one of the thee restaurants/cafes at the Farm.
Recently I forgot how much I disliked this cafe and bought a Groupon. Even at 50% off, the cafe is not a great value.
2 reasons - 1)food quality 2) price
1) When a place serves only sandwiches, you'd think they'd pay attention to their bread. I like chunky bread, thick cut bread, artisan bread. TO me theirs seemed like Sara Lee wheat bread. Flimsy brownish bread. That collapsed under the weight of the rather sparse filling. They have a few vegetarian options, but none are very good. A few pieces of avocado, a hint of cheese...
2) When I pay $10 for a thin sandwich, at least give me one side, if not two. At leasta pickle. After a hike, we wolfed down two sandwiches each and were still not close to feeling full. $30 after Groupon and we left feeling hungry.
Bringing your own picnic basket or brown bag lunch if you're going to be there after Morning Glory closes is a good idea. Just buy their sweet potato salad - that one is good!
