| - Breadfruit is in a small, non-descript building a block from ASU downtown. If you weren't heading in that direction with the specific intention of going to Breadfruit, you'd never know it existed.
It's a tiny place, probably seating 15-20 at the absolute max, so i see how it could get packed with a quick influx of people. On this particular lunch outing around the noon hour, I was one of five diners. And still it took nearly 45 minutes to get my food. So don't expect a quick lunch in between business meetings, this place is too laid back for that. But the service was tremendously friendly.
I got the jerk chicken and it was very well spiced. Thankfully not overpowering like I've had elsewhere. it was a nice, hefty sized chicken breast and was very succulent, not dry at all like others have suggested (perhaps other reviewers aren't familiar with traditional dry-rub jerk). I do wish there was more chutney though, as it was delicious. The corn, pineapple, and slaw were all a bit flavorless.
The highlight of the meal by far was the carrot juice, which was like drinking a big slice of frosted carrot cake and offset the spicy jerk chicken nicely.
I'm sure I'll go again at some point to try some of the other items, but I'm not into it as a lunch place even though it's close to where I work. I can get a quicker and just as filling lunch elsewhere for cheaper.(not that a $14 jerk chicken entree and carrot juice is that expensive. . .)
