"I always stop into the Tempe Wildflower cafe after visiting Changing Hands, because it's a fantastic place to settle down into a good book or have dinner with some of my fellow book club members. The location can get really crowded after dark on weeknights, but there's always plenty of seating on Sunday evenings and afternoons.\n\nThe food can be hit-or-miss, and even the quality of its best items can vary wildly depending on who made it. My personal favorite menu item is the butternut squash ravioli, although the sauce is often poorly made. The best drink, bar none, is the blackberry orange lemonade. In addition to its ordinary menu, there are new seasonal items available every couple of months. The baked sweets are very rich, and sometimes end up overwhelming the sandwiches/other meal items if ordered together. Good luck trying to get a white vanilla cupcake, though--they're always sold out. On average, the food is a little overpriced, but an evening out won't break the bank either.\n\nAfter patronizing the location for nearly two years and at least two or three times a month, I can safely say the most of the waiters and waitresses skew towards inexperienced college students, and the service is about what can be expected from that crowd. Sometimes the service is wonderful and enthusiastic, other times they make you feel unwanted or unreasonable. The premises is adequately clean most of the time, but you can usually tell when it's been a busy day or night. Make no mistake, there WILL be flies about. \n\nPass on the breakfast menu. For the prices, you can do breakfast much, much better elsewhere."^^ . "2017-08-26T00:00:00"^^ . . . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "4"^^ . . "0"^^ .
