After reading other Yelper's reviews, my expectations were built up pretty high. AZ Bread Company is a great place, no doubt, but I somehow feel let down.
Everyone talks about how friendly the owners are and how they've been approached by them to ask how their meal was etc. One of the owners was out cleaning and bussing tables and he talked to about three families right next to me but never came to ask me how my meal was. Whatever.
The place is set up like Jason's Deli or Chipotle in that you line up and order your meal then fetch your own drink and finally seat yourself. They give you a laminated number tag that you can place at your table and when your order is ready they bring it to you. They don't (or didn't for me, at least) bring your silverware to you. I thought that was kind of lame. They didn't even offer upon delivering the food and noticing that we had no utensils to eat with.
The food, however, was definitely way above average. I had breakfast there with my daughter and she had Strawberry French Toast and I had the breakfast special which was a breakfast burro with eggs, chorizo, cheese and a couple veggies. My daughter had a bottled cranberry juice and I had coffee. The total ran $18 which is way more than reasonable for breakfast of this quality.
I like drink stations. I like being able to get a half cup 'warm up' and being able to get up and look around as I get my drink. The big windows here are great for the ambient light they lend to the experience where you're eyes aren't hammered having to adjust to artificial light in dimly lit places. The place is really colorful as well which is very inviting and festive.
All in all, it's a very safe place to bring your old ass grandparents and sketchy inlaws where you don't have to worry about freaking anyone out with a bad breakfast choice. This place screams 'www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com'.
You probably fit the demographic, so go there.
