    It's been a while since we've been in here. We are iced the moon that they have reopened for dinner service in addition to their awesome lunch menu. We came in for a late lunch and noticed updates to the menu. Our favorites are still there. This restaurant makes the best soups and desserts. Today I had the combo - a cup of tortilla soup and a small beet salad. Lots of chicken and veggies plus a great balsamic dressing. The Hubbs had his favorite clam chowder (only served on Mondays and Fridays) and a small gluten-free pizza. Very good. Note: Prime rib is offered only on Fridays starting at 4 - they often run out by 6! Service as always was delightful. Love this place.

    I've visited Creative Café more than fifty times over the years, and it continues to impress every single visit. It's the spot we bring friends and out-of-town guests for lunch because it captures exactly what a great local hangout should feel like--warm, welcoming, and consistently delicious. Their menu offers something for everyone, and everything tastes thoughtfully prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. The daily specials are a delight in themselves--quiche, soups, sandwiches, even chicken wings--always creative and always worth trying. Some days I skip the entrée altogether and order two different soups; the clam chowder alone is unforgettable. Their pizzas and salads are fantastic, and the desserts--made in-house each day--are a little adventure of their own. You never quite know what tempting treat will appear in the display case, but it's always a highlight. That sense of fun and freshness is what keeps me coming back again and again. Creative Café isn't just a place to eat; it's a place that feels special, a true local gem where the food is vibrant, the specials are ever-changing, and the experience is reliably wonderful. Even more exciting, they've recently expanded to serve dinner, bringing all that freshness and creativity into the evening hours as well.

    Food is very good, with their current new business hours makes it even better to visit. I Recommend this place.

    Food is always good here. It's always busy at anytime of the day! Staff is always so friendly and attentive! Love that they have staff who work here that have special needs. They always are kind and welcoming. They also make sure the refills are taken care of without having to ask!

    Love the egg salad sandwich. My only concern is why can't the open days and hours be listed and add your menu

    I drove 20 minutes for pizza... just to be handed raw…read moreingredients and a dream. Nobody warned me I signed up for a cooking class?? I opened the box expecting cheesy, hot, ready-to-devour happiness... and got a DIY project instead. The cashier said this happens all the time and honestly... I believe her because WHY is this a thing Apparently this place is "take and bake," meaning you take it home and cook it yourself Cool. Love that for everyone with an oven. I do not have an oven. So now I'm sitting here with a fully dressed, unbaked pizza in my fridge like: "We both had expectations tonight." Not giving 1 star because this was 100% a me being confused situation... but emotionally? I was not prepared.

    Pizza makers were quick & efficient. Store was clean. Cashier acted as though it was a total hassle…read moreto take my easy, no customization order. I tipped $5 cash on a $23 dollar charge since its Dec 23rd & I empathize with retail service workers during this season esp. I was the only customer in the store, just three employees chatting quietly together. I was friendly & asked if there were any holiday specials. Said I'd been looking forward to some pizza. Pretty much got glared at. I will be reaching out to franchise owner re: my experience. After I placed my order I watched the cashier give similar zero star service to them. What gives? I get having a bad day, but this was pretty off putting. Turns out that there's a PMurphys in Marana, so if I decide to have some more of PMs I'll drive that way. Otherwise I will be avoiding this location in lieu of other places that give good service. It bears mentioning that I've reviewed quite a few PMurphs over my 14 years yelping, sometimes even raving about this chain. But you know what they say about bad apples. In today's consumer climate, it's a bad decision to let customer service fall to the wayside. I should mention that the woman making the pizzas was nice & helpful. For her and the pizza I'll give one star each. For the rest, 0 stars. Maybe the cashier should make pizzas and the pizza maker should talk to people?? That's the why for this 2 star review that could have been higher.
