| - Decided to visit Mojo Morning Joint before work this morning because it's not far from where I live OR where I work and because it opens early (6:30a) AND because it has coffee. Seemed like a solid start for this little coffee stop set within a golf club.
Did I mention that this breakfast joint is set within the GrayHawk Golf Club in North Scottsdale? Yeah. DEFINITELY not my usual speed, but worth a try considering all the other variables (related to convenience) mentioned above.
Let's just start by saying that I feel very out of place at a high-brow golf club. I was skeptical walking through the front door, but was immediately met by the smiling faces of three pretty young ladies who seemed genuinely happy to be awake.
They were quick to take my order and make small conversation and I was instantly put at ease. I placed an order for an Americano (with extra shots, no cream) and a Breakfast Burrito with Jenn (the manager), then I found myself a seat while Gabby prepared my drink.
The interior of Mojo Morning Joint is bright and clean with plenty of seating both inside and out. The outdoor seating is also very clean and covered with plenty of natural shade (read: trees). The overall atmosphere is calming.
The Americano arrived and was just ok. Not bad, but not great. I didn't expect it to be, though - this isn't your local hipster coffee roaster in the guts of downtown Phoenix, it's a golf club. My drink cost me $3.50 +tax. About on par with other options in this area.
The food, on the other hand, cost me just shy of $10 and I was very disappointed by the portion size when it arrived. I was further disappointed upon taking my first few bites. It just wasn't that good. At all. Not even the salsa! And I can get behind MOST salsas... :-/
So: mid-to-costly prices, mediocre coffee, small portioning, and not-great food. Why the four stars? And would I come back? The answer is: the girls. And: likely.
Mojo gets four stars because it has employed genuinely bright and personable young women who make the experience well worth the trip. They made me feel welcome, comfortable, and appreciated. I'd come back just for that, and this kind of service deserves a couple extra stars.
Thank you, Jenn and Gabby and other-girl-who's-name-I-didn't-get, for serving me and for being so bright and kind and positive even during the earlier hours of your day. It was noticed, and appreciated, and I'll likely be back to see you again soon. :)
