Tucked back into a corner of a strip mall next to a consignment store, Bertha's Cafe is not the easiest place to find but is absolutely worth the effort. This place has a charming and quaint little mom and pop feel to it that the chains only wish they could achieve.
My brother and I stopped in for a late breakfast after reading review after review on Yelp. Well, we intended to have breakfast, and they certainly have quite a few yummy sounding (and smelling) breakfast food options on their menu. Somehow, neither of us could resist the call of the Roast Beef and Bleu Cheese sandwich. It started with copious amounts of thinly sliced roast beef that came close to melting in the mouth and only got better with the addition of bleu cheese, caramelized onlons, and arugula. This was a sandwich that will linger happily in my memory for a long time! I ordered a huge lemonade that tasted fresh squeezed.
We ordered mini cupcakes, red velvet and chocolate, to finish the meal off with the perfect sweet touch.
Bertha's cafe is truly a Phoenix treasure and should not be missed by anyone visiting the area!
