Great place for a quick, fresh lunch. My favorite thing here is definitely the chicken pesto sandwich. The Thai chicken salad is good as well. They also have baked goods. I like that they sell mini versions of their bar desserts for only $1. It's a great way to try a sweet treat, and for the price they are a decent size. The mini dream bar is really good. Bertha's gives a free cookie with their entrees but they're usually pretty dry and chalky. But hey, they're free. I usually order online and pick it up. It's always fast and I like that you can pick up your food on a rack next to the register. read more

I love this place and often come here for lunch! They gave a variety of food and everything I get is always fresh and flavorful. read more

Small, locally owned business. The kind we like to support! Atmosphere is homey, friendly, simple. Paper plates and good coffee. I asked for a recommendation and ordered the Turkey Jalepeno breakfast sandwich. It was lovely. My companion had the Denver Omlette which came with toast and greens. Much value for the money. read more

Many years later was back to try the Thai spice chicken wrap. Just thought that the wrap would be better with hot chicken breast, not deli chicken. Produce was good, but didn't go well in that wrap. read more

Probably one of the best sandwich places I've been to in a long time. Absolutely delicious, deadass. This sandwich shop was very clean, bright, with the staff being so welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere being so friendly, and the food came out so quickly. So fresh, so full of flavor, and it only left me wanting more, which is a great thing because it'll keep me coming back. if you are feeling like you want a deliciously-cold sandwich, on a hot Summer day, this is the place to go. read more

Haven't been here in a very long time...my job location moved to another part of the city so Bertha's a bit further away. My team came for a birthday celebration/team meeting. We got there right when they opened and secured the bigger table toward the back. It was breakfast time but I've had their tuna in the past (as you see from previous posts) so I had the tuna melt for breakfast. We laughed because I was having lunch for breakfast, buy why not? You eat breakfast for dinner! Also had their steak fries, which are amazing! Fried to just the right degree of crispy and tossed in some seasoning. Their tuna is so good for "restaurant" tuna...mixed with apples (I know, it sounds different) which gives the tuna a great, slightly sweet crunch. Such a great sandwich! I didn't get pictures this time, too many people, too much going on but suffice to say, Bertha's has great quality food, freshly prepared. They have a great lunch menu, a smaller breakfast menu (a couple of my group got the breakfast burrito, which got rave reviews as well. I also had the cold brew, which was made perfectly. As we were leaving, the gentleman at the counter realized it was my birthday and offered me a cookie, which was very nice! They make awesome cookies! Love Bertha's! read more

I got the original turkey sandwich along with fresh meat potato salad and of course they always give you a fresh baked cookie to go with your meal. Along with an iced mocha coffee very refreshing and as good as I remember. read more

Had a business meeting here and it was perfect. Quiet, plenty of room and the sandwich was good and basic. Next time will branch out and order something bigger and interesting. read more

What a fun little surprise. I'm new to the area and was looking for a "Mom n Pop shop" for breakfast. Found this! Lovely family owned (20 years). Clean. Yummy food. Fast. Polite. Quality. Great coffee bar too!! I'll be back. read more

I still stop by Bertha's when I'm in the area but it's under new ownership now so my beloved turkey sandwich isn't as good as it used to be. The turkey that they used to roast in-house with rosemary now tastes more like ordinary turkey lunch meat. The bacon now tends to have a lot of fat on it and they're not as liberal with the pesto mayo. On a final sad note, the complimentary chocolate cookie isn't the same: it's now dry and chalky. I'll keep my review at four stars for now, as the sandwich is still better than many, but they're going the wrong direction. read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered a few things. We got a club sandwich, Oreo bar, pesto pasta salad and potato salad. The sandwich was toasted and had plenty of fixings. It was simple but delicious. The pesto pasta salad was super tasty but the potato salad, while good tasted like it was from the grocery store. The Oreo cream bar was dreamy and delicious. This is a quick no frills spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was friendly and food was good! read more

We're all too familiar with the Over Easy's and Hash Kitchens of the world, and while great, we expect them to be. Their ubiquitous nature, while not entirely fair to them, makes one take them for granted. That being said, maybe the scorn isn't entirely unearned, as the bigger a chain is, the less of a personal touch they potentially have. To that end, I'm more than a little fortunate to have found perhaps Phoenix's best kept breakfast secret, Bertha's Cafe! Bertha's has been here right under many of our unsuspecting noses for the better part of 20 years, surviving all the shenanigans of the aught years and more recently Covid. Bertha herself built up quite the reputation for the restaurant focusing on a customer forward and quality ingredient laden home cooking approach coupled with reasonable prices, and impeachable cooking expertise. My brother Steve and I, stumbled upon it doing a Google search upon finding out that they shuddered the doors of the Over Easy on Camelback and 24th St. of alternate breakfast spots. After agreeing to try it, and not expecting much, we were immediately and warmly greeted by Mary, whose family now owns the place after purchasing it from Bertha after she tapped out to enjoy other endeavors. Many folks would start casting side eyes after a sea change of management, but I'm happy to say the reputation that was built carries over into the new ownership through a redoubling down on all the core values that Bertha painstakingly implemented. Mary suggested the Chorizo burrito. Being no stranger to this at other places, I was pleasantly surprised by how refreshingly different in the best possible way, this one was, exuding such delicious flavor with it's perfect marriage of Chorizo, cheese and potatoes. Paired with a zesty but not overly spicy Salsa, you'll wonder where it went, you'll eat it so fast. With a large breakfast and lunch menu and a veritable goldmine of heavenly pastries, brownie and other dream bars, this diamond in the crowded breakfast rough is just begging to have it's untold treasures discovered by Phoenicians and weary tourists alike. So that hard earned cash you were going to give to the major breakfast chains? You would do very well to hand it to this hard working and well deserving family instead, whose sole purpose is to reacquaint you with homemade food prepared with that which is missing from the faceless giants. Care, comfort and quality customer service. All the staff is amazing, from the rarely seen, but hardest working cooks led by Joanna and James, to the front of house with our lovely hostess Mary and the dashing Douglas, who both welcome guests with the warmest of wishes and the biggest of smiles. Try Bertha's today. Arlen approved. 10/10 read more

TOP FAVE breakfast / lunch spot! Berthas Cafe is the best kept secret in Phoenix. If you know about it, ya know! If not, you need to hop on it!! Our favorites to order are the breakfast sandwich and the Turkey sandwich. So simple yet so delicious! If it's your first time you HAVE to try the turkey sandwich. The caramelized onions make it an easy 10/10 for me. Their lunch special is also a great deal! In addition to all their great breakfast / lunch options, they also have several baked goodies to choose from. Service is top notch every time. The manager is such a delight & everyone is always so welcoming. The space is actually great for groups large & small. Doesn't get too packed which is nice for days you want a nice place to dine in without having to wait long periods of time. Addthis to your list of places to try if you haven't already!! You won't regret it! read more

GREAT customer service! The ladies at the front were super sweet, the food came out fast, and the vibe was very relaxing. We got an arugula egg sandwich with no pesto. Although I chose not to get it with some sort of sauce, it was still delicious. The bacon was perfectly crisp. We also got a turkey jalapeño sandwich, everything about it was delicious. The spread/sauce on the sandwich just took it to another universe. The small cookie was a 10/10! Although we didn't get any additional pastries, the ones they had out looked so good! read more

Hands down the best breakfast wrap/burrito around. They have an assortment of amazing treats as well such as Oreo and cheesecake brownies. Staff is super friendly - there's a reason the reviews are so great! My only wish is that they open at 8 vs 9am :) read more

Today, the Kailua High School Phoenix Area Lunch Bunch enjoyed ONO GRINDS at Bertha's Cafe, 3134 E. Indian School Rd, Phoenix. Our hosts, Sophyra and Kelly Sokhan (owners), set up a special table for the group, provided excellent food, and as you can see, a special dessert tray! Bertha's Cafe is family-owned and operated. It shows in their level of service and in ensuring their guests are happy - and full - when they leave. Thank you Sophyra and Kelly! You can count on us returning in the future. read more

Have been a frequent customer of Bertha's Cafe for many years and cannot recommend it highly enough! Quality food, generous portions and a free yummy cookie with lunch orders! Personable service with aim to please. Easy to tell they specialize in building relationships with their guests and want to see you again! Coffee is delish and so are the pastries ... watch out for your waistline. Super convenient location for Camelback corridor delivery or catering. Very fast service for dine-in lunches and smooth process for online ordering with choices of curb-side pick up or in-store pick up. Give it a try! It's my go-to and likely to become yours! See ya there! read more

I live on the east side so this isn't my normal area for lunch, but I stopped in one day for lunch. The food (Thai Chicken Salad Wrap with spicy peanut sauce) was outstanding! The restaurant was busy, but the service was quick and friendly. They were proud of their 'A' grade health rating, reflected in a bright, clean, welcoming decor. I've been back a few times to get take-out for my wife and me. Highly recommended! read more

Everything is amazing! LOVE THEIR FOOD AND THEIR COFFEE, service is always fast and the ambiance is always welcoming ...10/10

I've been coming here for years. Not as much as I like to but it's definitely one of my favorite spots in Phoenix. Douglas is fantastic. Great service. Always in a great mood and he just makes you happy to be there. Definitely check out their veggie panini it's to die for. read more

This place has gone way down hill since the owner is never there anymore! I waited 30 minutes for my sandwich to hear it was never made! the guy with the glasses was super pissy unapologetic and said well it happens you'll get a refund! This place used to be so good! My friend's sandwich looks burnt and feels super hard! Can't even eat it! The cookie was hard and old tasting. So sad place use to be so good. I wish I could give no stars. read more

This sandwich is to die for. Caramelized onions, avocado, cheese & turkey make the sandwich taste so good. It's not too overpriced, although I will say you get a coffee and a pretty small sandwich and your tab is over $15 already. The shop itself is very cute and seems like a nice little mom & pop store. I've been here multiple times to try other items, but I can't stop myself from ordering this sandwich because it's so damn good. 4.5/5 read more

I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and a 8oz broccoli cheddar soup online. The wrap was okay, I'm a bit disappointed in the quality though. The chicken was just sliced deli chicken. For $12 I'd expect it to at least be grilled chicken breast or thighs rather than cold deli chicken. The broccoli cheddar soup was not great. It had corn and carrots in it which I thought was interesting. I probably won't be returning. I'm also attaching a photo of the lettuce that was on the wrap. I'm unsure if it was old or if it is from the sandwich press. read more

This Friday, stopped into Bertha's cafe' for a lunch. Quite disappointed that the employees walked by the front door and never pick up the over loaded trash container to empty it. Another employee slumped over the counter several time to interact with an employee that seem to be enjoying his lunch, and yet! The slumped over the counter was ignoring other customers coming into the Cafe'. One of the customer's started to enter the kitchen, interacting with the staff. Back in the 80' a food handler card was required for any one in the kitchen. Chances are I may not return due to the unsanitary conditions. Time for the Health Department do a full investigation... read more

Great little cafe in a strip mall with friendly service and great prices! I had some spare time and had just enough time to quickly run and grab a quick snack. I went for the chocolate/peanut butter/cream cheese bar. It was delicious! The creamy cream cheese melted perfectly in my mouth with the rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter flavors. It came straight out of the cool fridge so I think if I left it out to get to room temperatures it would have been even more amazing. The service was very friendly and the interior had lots of seating. I ended up eating my snack out on the patio. They have some smoothies as well as a breakfast and lunch menu which I'll be back to try next time! read more

Found this lunch spot on yelp when searching for a locally owned sandwich shop. So glad we stopped in - the service was great, everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful; food was made fresh and felt like I was at home eating healthy which is hard to find when traveling. Would come back if I'm ever in town again and will recommend to friends coming out here. read more

Omg, these breakfast wraps were great! A mix of bacon, cheese, eggs, and caramelized red onions combine for a rich and delicious flavor. At $7 each, I have a feeling we'll be regulars! Also, the man working the front had a fun and welcoming personality. We'll be back for sure. read more

This is a cute little place that reminds me of a small family owned cafe and or Bodega in New York. The food was great and really economical. I loved the photos on the wall. I recognized some of the places from childhood. They had a sign that says they offer half off breakfast deals too if you come before a certain time. What a great deal that is. Ignore Tim's one star review. The place opens at 7am. read more
