| - If you've had a wild night at a nightclub and you're looking to get some brunch the next day with a friend to share the details, this restaurant is not the place to do it.
Even if you find a seat here on weekend mornings/afternoons you are right on top of the party next to you, so make sure your conversations are G rated because they will be heard by others.
The Tempe Wildflower gets so busy that I've sometimes left and went to the Chandler Mall location because I know I'd be guaranteed a seat there.
Also, getting in and out of your seat could require repositioning the table and saying "excuse me" more times than you'd like. It really is tight quarters here.
I don't know if the other locations are the same, but this Wildflower runs out of items on a frequent basis. It used to be it only served pretzels on Wednesdays and the store would run out by the afternoon.
Now Wildflower serves them daily and they still run out, but the bigger issue is that there's nowhere to heat them.
Anyone who's spent significant time in northeast knows the value of a good hot pretzel. Wildflower's pretzels are quite good but they come room temp and staff won't heat them and only give you the option of the microwave. Gross.
And where's the mustard? That's a necessity.
I always take mine to go.
Cookies also run out and we're not talking an hour before closing. They run out early.
Breakfasts are excellent and although lunch items look delicious, 99.9% of the lunch menu comes with some kind of cheese.
Fruit cups always taste fresh, come with a yogurt and granola drizzle and a slice of carrot cake. The iced tea is excellent but I've heard mixed reviews on the exotic coffees.
The whole rat race idea to get a table on a weekend takes the pleasure away from your meal (if you can secure a table before your meal comes out).
Advice: Utilize that corner spot in the bookstore where they have those goofy novelty items and add some tables there. You won't even have to knock a wall down because the two places connect.
With all the free food you give their employees it's the least they can do for you. It's not like people are crowding that corner of their store to purchase, say, a weiner dog spiral business card holder.
Oh wait, I bought one of those there.
Go to the Chandler Mall location for more room/privacy/personal space. The food is nearly, I stress nearly, identical.
