| - I was excited to try their cinnamon rolls after reading Yelppers' remarks about them.
My wife ordered an omelette and I ordered a cinnamon roll and a side of bacon and coffee. They asked me if I wanted the cinnamon roll heated up. I said sure, and filled my to-go coffee cup. They handed me my cinnamon roll, and we sat down with our "number" for them to bring the rest of the order.
A while later, our order arrives. My cinnamon roll of course is no longer warm. The cold bacon they served was somehow welded together into a single over-cooked mass. The cinnamon roll was interesting. It seemed less like a cinnamon roll and more like a Mexican "Novia" pan dulce, with a thin custard-like semi-sweet frosting smeared generously over the top. The outer edges were somewhat crispy, flaky and dry, and where the custard/frosting was, the pastry softer, having absorbed some of the topping. The entire pastry left an oily remnant behind on the plate. While not unpleasant, they pastry I ate wasn't really what I expected when I ordered a cinnamon roll. I wondered if the pastry was fresh - my impression was that it was day old. The bacon was not good. I probably should have sent it back.
My wife said her omelette was just okay. The egg was thin, and she prefers a thicker, fluffy omelette. She said the potatoes were good. They were inch-sized cubes with seasoning.
The coffee was standard restaurant supply coffee.
I wanted to fall in love. But the inattention to detail and the lack of ownership from the employees resulted in a mediocre-at-best experience. The bacon should not have been served. The cinnamon roll should have been served with the meal, instead of before. Owner participation (or a real restaurant manager) could probably fix the problems here in a jiffy. But I probably won't bother to make the drive from Ahwatukee to give this place another shot.
