If you want to get someplace on time and you want me to find it you need to allow for some getting lost time. GPS was invented for guys like me and I don't happen to own one. In addition to finding this place I had been asked to find another place as well for future reference. So after 3 trips around Scottsdale Mall (which really needs one of those map thingies) I found the first place and off I went on foot for Bacon. Using Google I had picked out exactly where the building should be and walked right past it and by the time I crossed the bridge I was getting worried. So I went a ways down 5th and still didn't see it so I headed back the way I came knowing I had a couple of other options for breakfast. The sign over the door is much easier to spot heading south.
Bacon shares an address with Devils Martini and in fact may be dual usage of the same space. I know there were Devils Martini placards on the tables. If they do share the same space it would explain why it looks more like a bar/lounge inside than a coffee shop. In any event I walked past it the first time without looking close because the building and parking signs I saw first said Devils Martini. I didn't think to ask the question so maybe somebody will fill this West Valley person in with the answer. In any event the easiest way to find it is to look for Vidal Sasoon and Bacon is across the street.
I was greeted quickly walking in the door and I took a high top with a view out the window. The person who seated me got my orange juice and soon Tori, my server, came to take my order. I ordered the first thing I saw that included gravy and potatos. I think it was called the Big Pig ($9.50, I could be wrong on the name) and when it came that is sure what I felt like (see picture). 3 eggs, 3 bacon, 3 sausages, ham, potatoes with gravy, baked beans with more bacon, fruit cup and a large English muffin. More like a breakfast for 2 and if I had had a phone number for somebody I saw shortly afterward I would have offered. In total volume I managed to finish off about 3/4 of it.
Food. I had no problems with the quality of any of it. Overall it was very good. The orange juice was about 1/2 ice cubes which was fine at the start but very watered down tasting by the end of the meal. Subjective to my taste buds the German style sausages did not deliver, I thought they were too fatty/liquidy and lacked any real flavor.
Service. Tori waited on me hand and foot without being intrusive. I did not have my camera with me and she showed me how to make the one in my phone work. Looking around all the customers seemed pleased to be there. One of the nice things about eating in the first wave before the crowds arrive is nobody has had a chance to ruin the servers day so everybody is pleasant.
