I love this place. I go to Casa Grande often for work, and always end up in this area where there are a lot of restaurant chains or Mexican restaurants. Nothing against Mexican...but I try to keep my lunches light and fresh. This place prepares sanwiches, soups, salads, wraps, all from scratch. With ingredients that you wouldn't expect in a lot of menus in Casa Grande. Their cream of mushroom soup is so decadent you won't want your spoon to leave your mouth. Their desserts are calorie-laden, old style, not non-fat stuff but the good old stuff. Hey, if I'm going to splurge and have dessert, I want it to have all the calories and all the fat. The staff is very friendly, and they employ developmentally disable people. I have a co-worker that gets very uncomfortable because of this, and I think it's ridiculous. If anything, it makes me go there more often, because they are great employees, never rude or snooty like at other places. Just a warning, it does get pretty full around lunch time (11:30-1) but if you go before or after, it's perfect. The main problem is the parking lot, which does not fit a lot of cars. So plan ahead. read more

Very dissapointed after reading all the good reviews. Went there for dinner with my wife last night. My wife had a salmon special & a salad. Her meal was average. I had stuffed sole with rice and a cup of soup. The soup was good but not HOT. The sole was ok, but was a prepared product and comes fully cooked. All they did was warm it up. The rice was cold and over cooked. All clumped up in balls. Terrible. They offered to replace it, but I was more than half finished. The meal was far from creative. The waitress never asked if we wanted another beer & the beer was overpriced for a Cafe. The dining room was also way to cold, I had to get our jackets from the car. I heard others complain & they finally adjusted the A/C. Over all not a pleasant experience. read more

Had a nice lunch there today. Salad was good & the turkey wrap was very delicious. Highly recommend this place for a good lunch.

Usually very good..bragged this restaurant up with our out of state family. Four people had over cooked food. Hamburger tasted tainted. If I become I'll I'll know why !!!. Husbands onion rings were burnt and very hard. Called waiter over. He said we font make them we just deep fry them.Duh. read more

Nice atmosphere, very tasty food. We enjoyed a French dip sandwich, a chicken salad sandwich, and and some fine sweet potato fries.

Kinda bummed to be writing this review after the expectations set, but I should have known the slow reviews would mean something would go awry with my must be on time lunch for a work event. I called a day ahead and spoke with Michelle to let her know I was coming to Casa Grande the following day and would be calling with a large order... She told me that was fine and to give them my order in the morning. I spoke with Michelle in the morning and got an email address to send the orders over to so I could ensure they would all be right. I gave her payment info and confirmed delivery time and she asked if I wanted to include gratuity. I told her to call me back with a total... A few hours went by and we were nearing the time I needed lunch to be delivered by... She said she was sorry they had a busy lunch and she would again call me back with my order total but had a few questions. I asked her again if the order would be there on time and she assured me it would... However the time she quoted for the delivery driver leaving and the time on the clock didn't match- they had misunderstood the delivery date. Through our phone call which I clearly stated we were coming the following day to the email the day of with all the orders and delivery date in the subject and body of the email, I don't understand how that was missed. To top it all off, out of the 17 orders I had, mine was left back at the cafe. They did rush and get everything to us roughly 25-30 minutes after our lunch was scheduled to happen... But if you need a timely lunch or delivery, I wouldn't count on it. read more

I took my niece here for her 9th birthday. We both loved the food, the atmosphere, and the service. She ordered a cheeseburger, I got the portobello mushroom sandwich. We split a gigantic cake and ice cream dessert. The brightly colored walls and artwork were great conversation-starters (i.e., "if you could paint your room any color, what would it be?"). When it came time for me to sign my credit card slip, my niece loved the fake-daisy pen. I tried to buy it from our server, but she refused to let me pay for it, and called over her manager, who gave my niece her choice of several colors! :) Made her night. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

THE BEST chicken salad in Arizona! I just ate here yesterday for the first time and I know already that I will be a regular. Their menu has something for everyone. I had to resist and turn away from the dessert case, but everything in it looked "inviting." I like to spend my money with locally-owned restaurants and Creative Cafe is a testament to entrepreneurship, hard work, a good product and a business that gives back to the community. Kudos to Creative Cafe! read more

If you're anything like me and avoid chain restaurants and fast food, then it is hard to find a good place to eat in this area. My husband and I LOVE this place and are so happy our friend took us there righ after we moved to the area. The soups are delicious, and we sometimes go there just for the soup. My personal favorites are the tomato basil and cream of mushroom. I frequently order Nora's salad, which has mixed greens, mandarin orange slices, raspberries, chicken, candied walnuts, blue cheese, and a raspberry dressing. The portebello sandwich, wraps, and garden burgers are also very delicious. The only time we have been disappointed with the food is when we tried the margherita pizza. The crust wasn't anything to write home about, and it was very heavy on garlic. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. We love the brightly colored walls and decor. I highly recommend this cafe for anyone looking for a good sandwich, salad, and/or soup! We read more

I have a few favorites at this place (and we should, my office eats here a few times a week... read as about 4 times a week)... my favorite is the Abigail's Turkey Sandwich, the jerk turkey they use on it is amazing with the guacamole. The staff is always awesome, they recognize my voice and usually remember my co-workers orders. The price is moderate, and the variation of the menu let us eat here day after day and not get tired of it. Keep up the awesome work!!! read more

My husband and I visited Creative Cafe for the third time a few weeks ago. The two times that we had been before we had relatives visiting and the food was good and the service was as well. We loved the sweet potato fries. This past time, it was only the two of us. The burgers that we ordered were cold when delivered, the sweet potato fries were still hard in the middle from being under-cooked and our waiter, Anthony, was in the parking lot on his phone more often that he was inside helping customers. He never even bothered to check on us once or to bring the extra napkins or ketchup that we requested. A table full of snowbirds came in and we noticed that he was ever attentive to them and their every wish. The only thing that we can think of was that we both look young and he thought that he could score a better tip with the snowbirds. My husband and I, both having worked food service before, know how important it is to earn tips. However, this past experience left us both with bad tastes in our mouth (pun so intended) and we don't plan on returning any time soon. read more

Great food and fantastic friendly service. I can hardly wait to stop by again and try more delicious menu items. Thank you Yelp for finding this wonderful eating experience for me. read more

I've only had the pleasure of eating here once but I guarantee, I will be a repeat customer. The menu is extensive and the dishes we had were excellent. I had the Thai chicken wrap with peanut sauce. The vegetables were very fresh and the combination with the chicken and the just right, little spicy but not too much, peanut sauce was delicious. The servers were attentive and the prices are great. I look forward to taking all of my guests there. read more

Cool place with a great selection of comfort food as well as unique menu items! The service has always been awesome when they are busy, went there when it was really quiet once and didn't receive the same level of service, but it wasn't bad. read more

This is a gem in this town!! The food is all homemade and fabulous! We had the cream of mushroom soup and it was the best I've ever tasted next to my mom's! I had the orange ginger salmon and it was cooked perfectly and tasted awesome!! Some of the best salmon ever! The service was impeccable and very friendly! They went way out of their way to make our meal perfect! We all agreed that we will come back anytime we are in tow read more

Been here twice now and been very good both times. Best salads in Casa Grande! Portions are good size, food is fresh and moderate prices.

Really fun, eclectic cafe for lunch. Great crowd and good healthier menu. Lots of salads, vegetarian options, wraps, etc. My kids did the pizza and chicken nuggets. Fair warning the pizza is on pita bread so depending on your picky eater it might not go over well. I got the strawberry fields salad which was fresh and delicious, and the veggie wrap which was also great. Onion rings were perfect, take a miss on the regular fries. read more

Great food and friendly customer service. My fav is the Gyro (pronounce "hero"). I've been in the restaurant several times and have always had a great experience. read more

Great smoothies soup and salad. Food is great and all the staff are very attentive to the customers needs. If I lived in the area this would be a weekly stop. read more

What a great surprise! Our lunches were absolutely great and the service was wonderful. We ordered the egg salad on croissant, the chicken basil wrap, and the chicken salad on croissant. Our sides included sweet potato wedges, and onion rings. No dessert this time, but look forward to returning. Or will not be disappointed. read more

Yum! The food is fantastic. I will go back next time I'm in Casa Grande. We were down for our sons high school basketball game. I had the club sandwich and they even had gf bread available. The sweet potato wedges were something I've never seen at other restaurants. They were really good. My husband loved their onion rings and his hamburger was huge. Good portions, great taste, good service and it's decorated cute like you are at grandmas house. read more

This place is great for lunch. They serve a wide variety of burgers, wraps, salads, and sandwiches. The people are nice and serve you well. The place has a very local feel to it that I love. Some thing you don't get from restaurant chains. read more

I wanted to take my family out for dinner and I decided either we would go to Chili's or Creative Cafe. Let me just say I made a wise choice by going with Creative Cafe, the food was prepared perfectly with great flavors and portions. Everyone ordered something different from the menu like the Ruben sandwich with thick sliced pastrami, the Buffalo chicken sandwich which was breaded and fried to perfection, and the BBQ Western burger with all of it's 1/2 lb angus goodness, all served with your choice of salad, soup, onion rings, french fries or sweet potato wedges(my favorite) which came with a spicy siracha dipping sauce. If you want great food prepared with some TLC, Creative Cafe is the place! read more

Hours are changed during the summer apparently. Monday - Friday 11am to 3pm. Only open 4 hours in the summer. Waste of my time.

One of my favorite places to eat, I have never had a bad meal. If I could I would eat the Steak Salad everyday. The staff is friendly and quick even when they are slammed at lunch. Never disappoints. read more

A great place to meet for lunch. We drive up from Tucson and friends or family drive down from Phoenix. The menu is varied. Everything we have tried is great and the staff is friendly and helpful. It was crowded at lunch but we were served in a reasonable amount of time. We will be back. read more

Highly recommend the sweet potato fries, the sauce they serve has just the right kick!

This place is Awesome!!!!!! A little bit "Off the beaten path" in what appears to be a busier street in a residential neighborhood, but who cares! I will totally be back and tell everyone about this Gem of a place. I has the Greek salad with gyro meat,! The best gyro meat I ever had sliced paper thin and I think they make it in house with just lamb meat if I understood the Waiter correctly. That brings me to the other thing that was a pleasure. I don't need to have my butt kissed, but I think everyone has expectations when it comes to service. These folks go above and beyond! They were super nice and attentive and really get the concept of team effort! I had multiple members of staff attending to me and I'll say even though I'm pretty low maintenance but it sure was nice to be waited on! Supurb Job. Keep up the good work! read more

We were on our way to Tucson by way of Casa Grande and wanted to stop for lunch. I went to Yelp for suggestions and this cafe stood out. We were greeted with a welcoming smile and instantly seated . The walls are all painted with colorful designs . Our food server Ashley came over and greeted us ( again with a smile and sincerity of glad we chose this restaurant . We told her we say the review on yelp. Ashley said 3 other customers were in today also on the way to Tucson and found the cafe on yelp. I'm a vegan and I had the shroom with sweet patatoe fries and my wife had the tuna. Both perfect. A must stop if your in Casa Grande looking for a good place. read more

Fabulous doesn't do the food or service just. This is such an amazing array of tastes just waiting to temp you tummy. Wonderful stuff.

Enjoyed a relaxing, casual lunch here. Menu is full of various dishes to accommodate any palate. Love the ambiance, people, and food was delicious. We just recently moved to Casa and will definitely return often. read more

Ambience interesting, staff friendly and responsive and flat break pizza tasty and more than my wife and I needed.

Awesome atmosphere.. Love the Autism support. I recommend Nora's chicken raspberry salad!

If you're traveling on the I-10 and you get hungry, drive the extra miles to this place. It has the best food in Casa Grande and is a staple in the community. I just visited recently. It is such a special place. read more

This was a fabulous find for 5 east coasters and 2 pacific northwesters. A large, diverse menu for our varied tastes and to please the picky ones. Clean with great service, even near closing. Pleasant folks and lots of locals who were repeaters. Wish we were close enough to return!!! read more

This is one of the best cafe in Pinal county. If you are in the area, take the time to head off the freeway a few miles away from the chain resturants and enjoy some wonderful food and a loving attentive wait staff. There is always something yummy and interesting on the menu. Enjoy this wonderful establishment! read more

Awesome food and great service. Not to mention that one cook in the back with the Regular Show hat and how supa fine he is. 5 out of 5 would go back if only just to see him one more time before I leave for my hometown in Washington read more
