  • I was in Phoenix recently for the WWE Royal Rumble. To kill some time that morning, my friend introduced me to Portlandia on his iPad in our wretched hotel room. Around 11AM, we were hungry and ready to check out, so we consulted Yelp for brunch options and settled on Vovomeena. Upon arrival, I wasn't sure if I was still in Phoenix, or somehow had been transported into a Portlandia sketch. As others have noted, it's THAT hipster. A "flight" of Japanese cold brewed coffee - really? Even more amusing was the proud barista describing the cold brew process and the different coffees. And I have no idea how he could tell the different coffees apart ... it's easy with a flight of beers, but coffee all pretty much looks the same. But after pinching myself and realizing I was still in Phoenix, I went for the flight of cold brews. (When in Rome ... err ... Phoenix, right?) The food options were equally hipster, with a selection of a dozen or so breakfast/brunch offerings featuring fresh, locally sourced food. The only thing NOT hipster about the food are the prices. I typically expect places like this to be a bit pricy, but Vovomeena is a VERY good value. Most of the selections are in the $7-9 range. I ordered the most expensive selection - the b.m.o.c. It featues a smoked pork chop, waffle, two eggs, and a "Portuguese Donut Tower" (basically a funnel cake) for $9.95. My friend got the "pain perdu" - banana bread pudding french toast with a caramel glaze and choice of meat for $7.50. Both portions were ample, and everything was delicious. And even though this is counter service, the service was great. I joke about the barista, but the kid (he looked like he was 17) was really nice and knowledgeable. It reminded me of talking to a brewer (or beer nerd) at a brewpub - he had that level of knowledge. And when I went back for a 16 oz cold coffee after I finished my flight, he admitted he accidentally made an extra flight, and asked if me and my friend wanted it. Thanks dude! Needless to say, between 1 1/2 flights and the 16 oz coffee, I was amply caffeinated for the day. Of all the places we went to in Phoenix, this was my favorite by far. I doubt if I ever will be back in Phoenix ... but if I do, Vovomeena is a must stop for me.
