We were looking for somewhere that we could have a great sandwich and sit outside with our dog. Yelp to the rescue and thanks for directing us to Bertha's! I enjoyed the ham and havarti sandwich, a watermelon lemonade and a mini red velvet cupcake. Great food, great service and a few nice tables outside under the misters. read more

Best lunch spot in town. Great salads, soups and sandwiches. Not to mention the dessert case! I always get the lunch special which is a half salad and sandwich (or soup). I get the harvest salad (amazing) and either the chicken pesto or asparagus pannini (add chicken). It's a great lunch for a reasonable $7.95 and it includes a cookie and chips! The Thai chicken salad is good and the pesto pasta salad. Every dessert I've had is great also. Fast, friendly crew here to get you lunch and back on your way. read more

I have ate here twice. Very convenient location at 32nd st. and indian school. The first time I ate here was about 1 year ago and I had the Thai wrap. It was not very good in my opinion and had no thai flavor at all. So I didn't go back. Then I just went 5 days ago out of convenience to grab n go back to my office. I ordered what is now my favorite turkey sandwich in all of Phoenix. I'm definitely a fan. I'm reluctant to order anything else. There is a long wait for your food, but it's always busy, and good food takes time. I can care less for the cookie but I'm not much of a sweet tooth. So go to bertha's, and just get the turkey sandwich! read more

Fantastic lunch spot if you are in the area. Have been 2x recently and ordered a thai chix wrap (HUGE) and a cobb chix wrap? HUGE! you get leftovers if your not starving or your just plain crazy..they also throw in a free cookie. Great spot check it out. read more

Great lunch place ! Great menu and service. Side salad that came with may sandwich was really generous and tasty ! I would definitely return when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

All I can say is that their Asparagus and Havarti panini is to die for. It is very rare when I actually am filled when eating a sandwich. I almost had to save the other half, but couldn't resist the deliciousness. read more

What a great find this morning. I was driving west on Thomas trying to find a quick place for a snack and as I was heading north on 40th St...there is is, Bertha's Cafe. Now that sounds good. I go in, and though it looked like it was closed , luckily it was not. I had a breakfast burrito with turkey and I enjoyed the red velvet cupcake while I waited for my food. The lemonade was decent, they went too easy on the sugar, which may be a decent thing for my health. Anyway, I had to eat and run. But I know that I will make way back there soon. The cinnamon buns looked awesome! read more

Love Bertha's! My husband is a regular here and probably hates me reviewing his well kept secret, but Bertha's is just so tasty that I can't resist. Their sandwiches are phenomenal , but for those of us who feel the need to eat salads but never feel satisfied, you will love the salads here. They're nicely sized portions will fill you up and not leave you feeling quily. If you go at lunch, get there early. The line starts getting long around 11:30. The only negative thing about this restaurant are the people who let their co-workers cut in line during the lunch rush. Does this bother anyone else out there??? read more

I have only love for this awesome sandwich, salad, and sweet shop. Bertha stays true to her own menu with a breakfast burrito with roasted tomatoes and sweet carmalized onions. The veggie sandwiches were a huge hit with coworkers... If I can only stay away from the awesome chocolate cookies with white chocolate. read more

If you're looking for a lunch salad/Sandwich, this place is great. Not too busy, but that's good because it's very quaint. The roost beef and bluecheese sandwich will fill your stomach and the cookie side is a nice treat. read more

It was ok. Nothing totally special, but not bad either. I didn't try the pastries, so maybe they're better.

Since I often feel that the natural world is out of balance without at least some negative comment to make, and because I couldn't find fault with either food or service, here's what I was left with.. Isn't it incorporated in the Uniform Articles Of Ambience that for a Cafe to operate as such, that it has to meet at least the minium expectations of comfort and cosiness? While Bertha's for the most part delivers on these points, the glaring error to me is in their choice of servicewear; specifically the ubiquitous presence of plastic--- cups, bowls, plates, flatwear, et al. Plastic is unnatural. It's the antithesis of comfort and not a bit eco-friendly, (you haven't heard?) regardless of recycle practices. It robs the patron of that tactile sense of solidity and well being that even the most humble ceramic and stainless provide. (Check out Cafe Zupas' attractive dinnerware.) In patio use, it's totally impractical and frustrating, having to battle even moderate breezes for control of your food. Not exactly Zen. Sure, Bertha's colorful and delicious offerings "show" very well against gloss black, and it's convenient for management, but is it really a fair trade to the customer? Hey, if I'm slumming for chow at Arby's or Wendy's I expect cheap and easy and I'll go w/ the flow, but here I want and expect more. Bertha's Choice makes me feel as though I'm in that alternate universe where everything is pretty cool, except... So, Bertha's, I wouldn't mention this if it didn't actually matter to me. Your exclusive use of plasticwear makes me feel like a teen with ketchup on my chin from the fries and with the napkins flying away to become litter. Thing is, you're primarily serving grownups. A minor warning to anyone ordering anything containing salami: while tasty, the salami is very potent and tends to overwhelm the more creative yet delicate ingredients. The same point was made by another Yelper as well, so I'm not alone in this view. On the upside, my cashier went out of her way to accommodate my wish for a breakfast item I craved, well outside of breakfast service times. Beyond the above, The imaginative and delish menu items, (take some baked goods to go) good service, and comfortable atmosphere are as real as the many positive reviews imply. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! The meat was fresh and delicious. It looked and tastes as if it was cut right off the turkey breast. My husband got the Thai Chicken Wrap and loved it! I would highly recommend it! read more

If you have never been here, you are not doing breakfast right. Seriously. Pesto, eggs, bacon, and spinach on brioche bread? Are you serious? Shut the front door. What was thy? Only $5.75?! Get out of town, Bertha. But don't... because I want to eat here again and have my palette surprised by your unbelievably priced pesto-slathered breakfasts and brunches. read more

Amazing food, small cafe with great atmosphere! Breakfast menu is small and hearty food. A great find in Phoenix! Coffee was great too!!!

So delicious! Called in a breakfast order and was told it would be ready in ten minutes. :) and it was! AND the food was seriously so tasty. Ordered the breakfast wrap and all the flavors were perfect together. Also picked up a brownie and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Soooo good! Glad this place is by my job and I will be back! read more

I saw this place on PBS "Check Please, AZ" and decided to give it a try. It's in a corner of a little strip mall and you can sit outside if you like. I'll just say "it's OK". We ordered the breakfast brioche egg sandwich and a cinnamon roll. The brioche bread was very fresh (so soft it felt like you were eating air). Although I liked the sandwich, it could have used something . . . some salt and pepper perhaps? It just didn't taste like much. The cinnamon roll itself was good, but had way too much frosting for our liking (it was swimming in frosting and we had to scrape some off). And I wish it had some walnuts. The service was good and prices were reasonable. But I agree with some of the other yelper's . . . stop using plastic plates (not good for the environment). I don't think I'd drive out of my way to come back. read more

the mini cupcakes are great for sharing! the sandwiches are delicious and make for two meals! read more

My friend needed something to do while her car was getting worked on and she owed me a meal, so we both came to try out Bertha's. A friend had recommended it and because it is tucked away in a shopping center, I had never had the opportunity to dine here. First off, the place is adorable with a counter full of fresh baked goods. The breakfast menu is small, but packing some heat. I got the Brioche Egg Sandwich which came with pesto, argula, baked eggs and bacon. Everything was right about that sandwich. Their lunch menu looked even more appetizing. The best part is that all of these triumphant sandwiches are between $5.50 and $7.50. Cheap, delicious, and a certifiable local business. Count me in, Bertha. read more

Just one lunch visit to this oddly angled and hard to find storefront, and I'm convinced Bertha's value and attention to detail exceeds that found at more heralded, pricier luncheonettes. Fresh squeezed lemonade is just that. The best potato salad ($1.95) I've encountered; precisely softened baby reds dusted in dill and not too much mayo. Hefty, succulent curry chicken wrap ($6.50), perfectly balanced and assembled, accompanied by a fresh chocolate nut cookie. $4 turkey chili, which was either 16 or 20 oz, and comes with nice brioche toast. It's absurd to think my mom and me conveniently lunched here for less than $20, and brought home food, whereas later that evening, after waiting half an hour for a table, my wife and I spent more than twice that at Chelsea's, for a decidedly inferior meal. read more

This little cafe is like a hidden gem. Everything here is out of this world yummy! I got the chicken pesto wrap (sandwich in a wrap) and a side of the pesto pasta salad and it was so delicious. I've also had the club sandwich and that was good too. I'm definitely a fan. Just wished it was open longer hours. read more

The pastries are delicious. The place is a bit small. The prices are good and breakfast was good. They have good and quick service.

Very good food. We were too late for breakfast so had great asparagus and havarti panini. Excellent!

Our administrative assistant at work is a big fan of Bertha's. And now, I am, too. She's ordered in lunch from Bertha's a couple of times. The first time, it was the Thai chicken salad, which I loved. Today, we had two salads and a sandwich tray. I don't even like sandwiches. I helped myself to both salads, and picked up a sandwich, intending to dismantle it and eat the meat and cheese. Inexplicably, I took a bite of the sandwich, and said "OMG! This is so good!" It was the turkey w/bacon and avocado sandwich. My friend seated directly to my left said, "Let's go to Bertha's and order more of these after lunch." They were truly that good. The salads were both great, too. I think we'll be frequenting Bertha's a lot in the immediate future. read more

I haven't visited Bertha in a while, but she still has quite a hold on me. I am kind of a creature of habit, and so I usually get the same sandwich, but they have a great selection of house baked goods, sandwiches, soups and salads. The lemonade is fresh and delicious and the staff is super nice. It's kind of tucked back in the corner of the little strip mall it's in, so you have to keep your eyes open. They have indoor and outdoor seating, which is great when the weather is permits. They always have good jams playing, too. read more

While the red velvet cupcakes may be mini (and good for my portion-challenged self) they couldn't be more delish!! The half asparagus and havarti panini and half harvest salad were an equally flavorful lunch option. But desserts clearly steal my heart away. read more

My hubby and I tried this place out last weekend. The atmosphere was cute and cozy. Decor is very rustic and inviting. The food was tastefully prepared. He had the chicken pesto sandwich and I had a tuna sandwich with the chopped salad. I agree with one of the other reviewers when they said this is not just your run of the mill salad. The salad was packed with flavor and delicious! We will definitely be enjoying this little spot again. read more

Just finishing up a Grand Canyon/Sedona adventure, and stopped by here for a quick bite before heading to the airport. Very cute place with warm staff. Ordered their Turkey Jalapeño Egg Sandwich, and it was Killer! I was surprised at how hearty it was. Their house coffee was above par as well. Loved the music playing in the background and the overall peaceful and positive mood in and around the place. A great spot for a healthy bite and coffee in the morning. read more

I think as far as breakfast goes.. you can do no beter than the unassuming, unpretentious, and cute berthas cafe.. Had the most amazing pesto, tomato, egg muffin that was completely off the hook... becoming one of my favoruite plces to eat... read more

Bertha's is our "go to" place for lunch! Anytime patients ask for a referral we send them there! The staff is so friendly and the food is delish!! And just try to pass up the decadent pastries! YUMMMY!! Hope it stays around for a very long time! Bon Appetit! read more

The turkey, egg, avocado, jalapeño breakfast sandwich was wonderful. Great little joint. I'll definitely be back.

I had the sausage, egg & cheese on an english muffin for brunch today. I had it to go. The sandwich was large compared to your average breakfast sandwich at McDonalds or BK. Overall, it was great. Large egg and sausage patty with plenty of cheese. I ordered a coffee to go, which was decent coffee. The cafe had a nice clean atmosphere and the cashier was friendly. read more

I ordered the salami pesto and goat cheese sandwich and my taste buds will never be the same. It was the best sandwich I have ever had. Like I'm talking about a life changing sandwich here. Try this place. You definitely will NOT regret it. Oh and don't forget a dream bar at the end! read more

Y-U-M! Bertha did not disappoint. Both my friend and I had the asparagus and havarti panini based on the reviews (added chicken), and we both LOVED it. It was very tasty, a huge portion, and super quick. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

Bertha's Cafe is tucked away in the corner on Indian School Rd which makes dining there quiet and peaceful. I'll be honest, I've only tried their breakfast sandwiches but that's enough to keep me coming back for more! The food is reasonably priced and the staff is always friendly. I plan on going for lunch soon to try more of the menu! read more

The breakfast sandwiches here are certainly one of the best kept secrets in the Valley. How could you go wrong with pesto, roasted tomato, and egg on a croissant? The cookies were also perfect - sweet and crunchy. read more

I tried Bertha's Cafe from a groupon. WOW!!! Is the only word there is to describe how fabulously tasty the food is. I tried both the chicken pesto and the ham and havarti panini and the chocolate chip cookie. The pesto on the chicken pesto sandwich was seasoned perfect, and the chicken is tasty and juicy without being dry. The ham and havarti panini combination on this sandwich couldn't have been better. I ate the chocolate chip cookie while I was waiting for my order. I had planned on saving it for later, but one bite led to another and then another and it was gone before I left with my sandwiches. And I usually am pretty good about exercising self-control, esp. when it comes to food. Next time, I'm not even going to take a bite of my cookie so I can REALLY save it for later!! read more

This place is a hidden gem..It was cute and the food was great. If im ever back this way I'll come back :)

Yummy, tried for the first time today...Tried the breakfast torta; great to start the day...Also, bought some brownies, red velvet whoopie pie and cinnamon roll (only on SAT)...Looks like they hae some great sandwiches...Will be back!!! read more

Bertha's makes the best club sandwich I've ever had and has a delicious dessert selection. I always have trouble deciding what dessert I want, but you can't go wrong with their chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips! It gets a little busy and hectic during the lunch rush, but it's still worth it. read more
