| - "You can't rush perfection."-Said a really, really smart guy somewhere.
As someone who travels relentlessly across the globe, trying both national chains and local gems alike, I must say that Yoli's Cafe is the one place that I love coming back to. However, I won't write about their "Morning Monte" for two key reasons:
1. Everyone else has. Read their reviews.
2. I've never had it. (Although next time I go in I'll have to try it!)
Around two years ago, my dad and I were looking for a new place to eat breakfast. We'd looked everywhere from Scottsdale to Tempe, Phoenix to Glendale, and while we found a few good places and met some nice people, we still were unable to find that one amazing place. Our search ended when we took a look into our backyard: Downtown Chandler. There, we found a cozy little cafe owned by quite possibly the nicest, most talented cooks that this world has ever known.
Once we were seated, the first thing we noticed was the huge amounts of variety that their menu offered. Their breakfast combo allowed us to mix and match a variety of breakfast favorites like bacon, french toast, eggs, pancakes, and around ten other choices, while their portion sizes were enough to feed even the hungriest of people. Eventually, we settled on trying a little bit of everything via breakfast combo.
After about a 15-20 minute wait that was filled with extremely fun small-talk with our waitress, we received some of the best food that I have ever had. I would go so far as to say that I was PRIVILEGED to try these amazing cooks' food. Most notably, however, were their biscuits and gravy. The biscuits are far from ordinary, plain, boring bread shaped into round masses of blah. No, they are flavorful, fluffy, and fantastic, owing in part to the fact that they're cheddar biscuits (and yes, they are better than Red Lobster's). Finally, they are usually put on the grill (they're cut in half) for a moment to lightly toast and have butter melted on them. Kudos to Yoli, to whom these biscuits owe their name, for creating these little pieces of heaven. The gravy was nice, not too much sausage, but not lacking either, and perfectly seasoned. When the two were paired though, well, let's just say it was like a symphony of deliciousness.
I realize that some people just don't like the old southern classic, but at Yoli's they can still find something phenomenal to savor. Their french toast is to die for, while their veggie burrito is my vegetarian grandma's favorite. A word of advice, though, do NOT order the pancakes if you aren't ready to
a) stop eating McDonald's breakfast forever
b) eat lots and lots of awesomeness (they're VERY big)
After two years of visiting this haven of culinary delights, I offer three hints of advice to those who wish to try Yoli's:
1) LISTEN TO THE WARNINGS ABOUT PEAK TIMES! Every breakfast place is bound to be crowded at the so-called "peak-time" of the morning. Yoli's is no exception. They may be culinary wizards, but they don't have time machines. If you want to be stubborn/don't mind waiting, be their guest and wait for a table. However, do NOT be rude to the staff just because YOU had the inability to realize that more people means a longer wait.
2) Don't be afraid to talk to the staff. They're extremely nice and will offer honest opinions on the food. Also, chatting with them helps time fly.
3) They have big food. Good big food, but still, big food.
I look forward to my next visit to this amazing cafe, and urge anyone who likes to eat good food to try out Yoli's Cafe.
