| - Inside the Bungalow was like discovering part of downtown Mesa's historical treasure. At nearly a century old this charming home has been transformed into a whimsical café. The patio is inviting, the décor is delightful, and the friendly service immediately makes you feel right at home. I visited for the first time this past Saturday morning and my only regret is not finding the Bungalow sooner. I brought my Mom and daughter with the intention of ordering a coffee, or tea and perhaps one of their baked goods. To my surprise what we uncovered was a lovely café with more than meets the eye, be sure to look up the twisted chimney once you've entered the kitchen. There are cozy tables chairs and even books, magazines and board games too.
They drink menu consists of coffee and tea, espresso (hot or iced) Chai lattes, Italian sodas, twisters (blended drinks) in coffee flavors, green tea and creamsicle , and they offer smoothies too! The cashier offered the option of hot chocolate with whipped cream to my daughter's delight and even a few ice cubes to cool it down. They have several baked goodies; we chose a fudge brownie and 2 magic brownies (no not that kind) but irresistibly made with a graham cracker crust, coconut, chocolate chips, butterscotch and walnuts with two tasty Chai lattes to wash them down.
They have breakfast and lunch sandwiches, even healthy options several salads, a Thai peanut tofu wrap, a hummus platter and a veggie pita. While we were there for over an hour I might add; they starting setting up their beautiful garden court yard for a wedding which they told us they host quite often. Open Mic nights are on Wednesday evenings so if your talented as well as hungry you can go for that too.
This is sure to be my new home away from home, I can't wait to return. If you're in the area be sure to pay them a visit, you won't regret it!
