| - This place is really more a 4-4 1/2 star place, but since I really want it to succeed & the owner (I'm guessing that's who me and my parents were chatting with) seemed super nice I'll just follow along w/the other five star reviews.
I grew up about a half mile (if that) from the strip mall this place is located & think besides the Quick Stop, Jesus Chapel, and Asian restaurant on the corner most places have come & gone. Even though I'd like for these guys to find a possible better location where more people will find it, it sounds like they put a lot of time & effort into renovating this space & it's kind of nice for this neighborhood to have a cafe like this since there really isn't any other place like it in the area.
It's not the largest restaurant, and the decor is fairly simple. It's clean & despite it's small size there's quite a bit of seating.
The food here is solid & like others have said it's CHEAP! With the exception of a couple items everything on the menu is under $6 & is very tasty. They're only open of breakfast & lunch, and you can get breakfast all day, which I like.
I'm not really sure what exactly you would consider this place. Even though I didn't try any, they have more than a few coffee & espresso based drinks, but because they have so many sandwiches & wraps (as well as a couple salads) I really wouldn't consider this a coffee shop.
As far as the food, its' yummy! I had the breakfast sandwich on a cibatta roll & everything about it was perfect from the egg, to the bacon, to the pesto sauce which added a pleasantly surprising taste. My mom had the exact same sandwich, except on a bagel instead. My dad had a grilled cheese. It came w/avacado, tomato, & pesto as well (now that I'm writing this review I realize where the "pesto" in the name of the restaurant comes from...they add it to most of there sandwiches). This sandwich was good as well.
When I'm back in Scottsdale I'd stop by here again, especially for breakfast.
