    Awesome Greek salad, wonderful hospitality, delicious fresh brewed teas
    Nilanj D.

    WHAT A TREASURE! We dropped in here on the way from Phoenix to Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. Unlike the other greasy spoons everywhere around, this place had an excellent menu with diverse choices - including several healthy ones. I got a really good Greek Salad. The sandwiches were great too. Another little highlight was all the teas the place offered - they have a really really good lavender one that we liked so much, we bought loose leaf so we could make our own. The team here was super friendly as well, and while they had only 2 people serving a full house, they made everyone feel welcomed and happy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a little GEM of a place!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    That's a wrap!
    Jamie J.

    What a fantastic spot we found! The service was top notch, just what you would expect from a little local restaurant. The food was served up quickly and the amount we got for the price was incredible. We weren't expecting leftovers, but the wrap was so filling. A few tables outside of you have a pet with you or just want to enjoy the weather, but inside decor was minimal. Again, it was just what you would expect and we loved it!

    Salad and fresh bread

    Great salad, tea (banana hot tea was delicious) and service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quaint spot, unassuming but food was delicious![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be back next time I'm in town.

    Eggs, bacon, potatoes & pancakes
    Kaitlyn Z.

    We stopped for breakfast on a Sunday, and it was really good! There was a bit of a wait, which is expected considering there's not many options around. The food was really well seasoned, and everything I ordered was correct. The waitress was really friendly, and attentive. I really appreciated all of the options on the menu as well! I would definitely stop by again when visiting Payson.

    Snickerdoodle Coffee
    Steven J.

    What a hidden gem for breakfast! Delicious Cafe is tucked into a quaint strip mall, but don't be fooled by its lack of advertising. The service and food were very good. If you want a hole-in-the-wall experience where the food's made from scratch, this is it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is cozy and clean, something most hole-in-the-wall establishments lack.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was phenomenal, our waiter was so informative and friendly. Everything is house-made, including the delicious Snickerdoodle Coffee I had. The food was really good. I tried the Breakfast Montini, their version of a Monte Cristo Sandwich. It was a little too heavy but the house-made cranberry compote helped tone it down. My Dad loved his "Delicious" Breakfast, a yummy traditional breakfast. The service was so kind and you can really tell they put a lot of effort into this establishment. I'd consider coming back next time I'm in Payson!

    Delicious lavender tea
    Krissy H.

    Like 3 1/2 stars because we came in 15 minutes before they were closed but potato soup tasted a little water down and could've been warmer the French dip sandwich good good not great French tip could be amazing if you added a little horseradish and maybe some green or red pepper in it.. potato I just tasted very fresh service was great super sweet and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place was clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. It's in a little strip mall. We will come back and try breakfast. They have a ton of different teas and coffees which absolutely amazing.

    The Breakfast Club
    Marcella G.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cute diner is tucked in a plaza and can be driven past.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But I'm telling you to stop! You will not be disappointed!! We have been here once before and the food was amazing. Spent our anniversary in Strawberry and had to grab breakfast here on our way out of town. We recognized the same waitress and she is so sweet and great service! My husband ordered The Breakfast Club and I ordered The Breakfast Montini w/ cranberry compote. Both were absolutely delicious!! However the Breakfast Montini was out of this world! The different flavors this sandwich had, had me doing my happy yummy food dance. Give this cafe a shot, you will not regret it!

    Breakfast quesadilla with bacon and potato wedges- half portion

    This is an unassuming place from the outside but I was greeted with such warmth and hospitality when I walked in, so I knew it would be good. The menu has a wide variety-- from all day breakfast, to sandwiches, to pizzas. Even the desserts looked yummy although we didn't try any. I saw someone order the lemonberry pancakes and let me just say, I will be getting these next time I come back. They looked heavenly. My omelette was so nourishing after a long day of travel and my daughter's breakfast quesadilla was the perfect meal for a 6 year old (pro tip- order a half size so no food goes to waste). I also ordered a seasonal strawberry shortcake latte which was scrumpdiddlyumptios.Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick but nourishing bite along their travels.

    Cinnamon roll latte
    Alice L.

    We stopped in payson for some brunch on our way back home. The restaurant was pretty small, but I did really think there needed to be more than one server. The waitress working was fantastic but you could tell that she was spread thinly. The cinnamon roll latte was pretty standard and tasted pretty good. I got an omelette and it was big enough for another meal!!! The eggs were fluffy and filled with lots of toppings!! The potato wedges were flavorful and crispy. Overall, the meal was pretty standard but nothing too special. Would maybe come back for lunch and try a tea - that seems to be their specialty.

    Shared panini
    Leanne M.

    Excellent, super friendly service. They were down a person that that did not stop them hustling to serve everyone Ordered the ham panini and split it between the two of us. It was played so nicely. The sourdough bread was fresh. A nice tasty sandwich that was so good after a morning of hiking The wedges were generous and not greasy.

    Best Cup of Coffee since 1981.
    Jessica L.

    This place makes everything fresh... from coffee to sandwiches. They are very accommodating of dietary restrictions! Their menu has something for everyone - from breakfast burritos to yogurt parfaits. They also have an impressive tea assortment for the tea lovers out there! IMO, their coffee is hand down the best in Payson. Each cup is made to order & worth the brief wait. This place is perfect for a casual brunch & has become a regular spot for us!

    We enjoyed Easter Sunday breakfast at Crosswinds. Breakfast is served all day…read more We were seated promptly at a window where we had a great view of the Mogollon Rim and the airport runway, where small planes land and take off. We both had sunny side up eggs, bacon, hash browns, corned beef hash, delicious fluffy pancakes and bottomless coffee. Everything was piping hot and delicious. They also have a full menu for lunch and dinner. The burgers served at the table next to us looked awesome. This place reminded us of a typical diner back east in New Jersey: happy servers, plentiful and delicious hot and fresh food, great coffee and fresh baked home made pie. So if you find yourself in Payson and need a great meal with a family friendly vibe, go to Crosswinds. They have plenty of free parking too.

    Ever since I started flight training, I have been told that Payson has great pie. Now that I'm a…read moreprivate pilot, I decided to fly in from Phoenix with my friend for breakfast and pie. We arrived around 7:30am, which was right before it started getting busy. The view is pretty cool. The restaurant is overlooking the runway. After checking in at the front, we were given a table within minutes. Then, our waitress came up and asked us what we wanted to drink. Eventually, we decided what to order and she came back to take our order. The food didn't take long--I'd say about 15 minutes. The food was delicious, to say the least. We both ordered a Western Omelette and shared an order of French Toast. I also took an apple pie and some other baked goods back home with me. The pie was also delicious! The only reason for my 4 stars is because of the service. Some of the employees seemed annoyed to be there and help us. While I understand that the restaurant was busy, you should still maintain composure and try to remain calm under stress. Having worked at a restaurant, I understand the feeling, but you can't let it get to you. Other than that, great little restaurant. I'd come here again.

We ordered a double smash burger with bacon (an extra $2 charge) along with tomatoes, lettuce, and onion. The burger arrived with no bacon and none of the listed veggies. We also ordered a triple smash burger with cheddar cheese and tomatoes, lettuce, and onion -- again, none of the veggies were included. We also ordered a mashed potato bowl with chicken, corn, and brown gravy, but there was no brown gravy in it at all. Even though a lot of our order was missing, I will say the food itself still tasted good. The biggest issue, however, was the customer service. The young girl working there, who looked to be around 16 years old, was extremely rude and snotty. When I asked for plastic utensils, she replied, "We do not have any." I asked how we were supposed to eat mashed potatoes and gravy without utensils, and she shrugged and said, "Ma'am, we are a bar, we do not have it." I responded that I've ordered takeout from many bars before and they always provide plastic utensils. She then sarcastically replied, "Good for you, have a nice day." I tried speaking with who I believed was the manager (he nodded when I asked if he was), and while I was explaining the issue, the young employee continued interrupting and talking over me. Another waitress overheard the conversation and quickly returned with plastic utensils, proving they did in fact have them available. The employee then changed her story, saying she "didn't know" if they had utensils and claimed she was super sweet to me(not rude). There is no reason an employee should be speaking to customers this way. She clearly needs additional customer service training before handling customer interactions on her own.

I ordered the beef flautas, and my fiancé ordered the enchiladas. My flautas were absolutely drenched in oil. I could barely taste the meat because all I tasted was fryer oil. When I did bite into them, the beef was mostly fatty pieces, which made the dish really unpleasant and hard to finish. My fiancé's enchiladas were also not good, and shortly after we got home, he became nauseous, had stomach cramps, and had to lie down for a couple of hours. He grew up in the Valley eating authentic Mexican food and can handle plenty of flavor, so this was not a matter of the food being "too much" for him. The sides were not much better. The beans were okay, but the rice was oily and lacked flavor. Overall, the food had very little seasoning and felt heavy, greasy, and low quality. This restaurant was recommended to me, so I was honestly expecting much better. On top of the food, there were flies buzzing around while we were trying to eat, which only made the experience less enjoyable. Unfortunately, this was some of the most disappointing Mexican food I've had in Arizona. The staff was kind and attentive, but the food itself was not something I would come back for.
