    a hand holding a wrap of food
    Kasey F.

    My Husband and I found this spot on Yelp and immediately the owners were so welcoming and kind. They noticed we were new and we felt like fast friends. We sat on the patio. My hubby got a sandwich that he said was very tasty. I asked Oli to choose for me and I had a delicious Chinese chicken wrap. The different textures were perfect. Filling but not too heavy. We also got a side of fries that were perfectly crispy. We had already decided we would go back just for the people even if the food was just ok. We were elated that the food was delicious! Fresh, flavorful and made with love. We can't wait to go back. I had half eaten my wrap before I remembered to grab a photo. Highly recommend!

    Breakfast burrito with ham! Mmmmm so good!

    I absolutely love this place! This is my 3rd time here at this hidden gem with my husband. The forum club is probably the best club sandwich I have ever had. I have also tried & enjoyed their fried chicken wrap with a honey mustard sauce. But their breakfast burritos really hit the spot! We add jalapeño & avocado. We have always been greeted very warmly by the owner as if we were family coming home. If you are in the mood for a delicious & fresh breakfast/lunch, & want to leave with a happy tummy & spirit, then you MUST come here & experience the magic that is "The Forum Cafe". Oh & try the brownies! They are ridiculously moist & rich.

    I am always looking for something a little off the beaten path, so when I saw this place on Yelp, we had to give it a try. It is a little tricky to find as it is in the courtyard area of an office building, but you need to go. The service here is amazing. They know everyone by name and what they like to order. Immediately knew that we weren't regulars and wanted to know our story. If that wasn't impressive enough, the food was just that as amazing. We had the grilled turkey & cheese sandwich, grilled cheese, fries, and the brownies (because everyone else was getting them). Everything was homemade and fresh. Sandwiches, salads, desserts...everything looked great. Sounds like it is a popular spot to cater from as well.

    Crispy and delicious

    This place is an awesome little cafe. My wife and I came to Scottsdale for a little vacation and decided to check this place out. I had the sirloin burger and she had the BLT. The BLT was absolutely delicious, the bacon was perfectly crisp and there is a TON of bacon on the sandwich, not like other places where you bite into the sandwich and it's all bread, lettuce and tomato. The burger was delicious, but let me tell you about these French fries......... perfect combination of crisp on the outside and fluff on the inside. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Also, treated ourselves to a hazelnut latte, which didn't disappoint. Forum Cafe is run by a husband and wife (support local business) with lots of personality and zaz! We were thoroughly happy with our visit, and will definitely be back again!

    I did however have an Italian Wrap instead of a breakfast burrito, since it was about 1pm the time I went in.

(I did not. I ordered a full breakfast and a waffle like an adult with priorities.) I went around 9:15am on a Wednesday--only a few tables were occupied, and the staff was super friendly, gave great recommendations, and the food came out fast. Inside is dialed in with chandeliers, French-y posters and photos everywhere, and a pastry case with tarts, pastries, and cheesecake that basically dares you to behave. The croissant was the star... fresh, flaky, light, buttery... exactly what you want. The egg was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted into it almost like a mini omelette (loved that). My only hiccup was the "bacon." It leaned more limp pork belly than crispy bacon and had a distinct smoke flavor that wasn't the traditional hardwood/hickory vibe I'm used to. Also... because the cheese and egg are fused together, it's basically impossible to pick the bacon out once it's in there. Next time I'd order it without bacon or ask for it on the side and make it crispy. It came with a side salad, which is not what I expected with breakfast, but it was actually great, fresh spring mix and a delicious dressing with a subtle sweet undertone. There were also hash browns with a crispy exterior and soft, warm interior, exactly the texture you hope for I just wish there were more of them! Because I have no self-control around French cafes, I also ordered the Belgian waffle with fruit and whipped cream. The waffle was warm and tasty, more tender/soft than crispy, and I ended up preferring it to the 'scrape the roof of your mouth' style that most restaurants serve up. The whipped cream tasted freshly whipped and the fruit selection was generous. My only critique: I'd skip the granulated sugar on top. The waffle is sweet enough already, and biting into sugar crystals isn't my favorite texture. For a drink I tried the blueberry lavender matcha. It had crushed blueberries in it, but the matcha flavor was pretty mild and the lavender got lost. I also would've liked a touch more sweetness from the syrup but overall it drank a bit "soft" and subtle. Bottom line... really cool little spot with friendly service, quick food, and a pastry case that will absolutely ruin any plan you had to "just eat light." I'll be back but next time I'm customizing that croissant sandwich and letting the pastries talk me into bad decisions.

Parking 5/5 Shared strip mall parking with some dedicated parking in front. Never an issue finding a spot here. Atmosphere 5/5 The new owner refreshes the dining room every few years and certainly is an improvement from the previous owners. Small dining room with Vietnamese decor is clean and comfortable. Service 5/5 Very polite servers and owner. Our server took our drink orders of two Vietnamese Coffees and a stater of rice paper spring rolls. Entrees were the brisket Pho, Bun Duc Biet rice noodles bowl which includes carrot and cucumber slivers, mint leaves, small lettuce leaves, sprouts sliced fried spring rolls, shrimp and beef. Sprinkled with peanuts. Food 5/5+ I've enjoyed coming here weekly for decades when I worked across the street at Motorola then General Dynamics when they bought our Government Division. Food here is freshly prepared, traditional Vietnamese food. Both the Pho and (B4) Bun Dak Biet Rice Vermicelli bowl were excellent. The starters were on the small side.

She confidently walked us through all the gluten-free options and made us feel completely comfortable ordering. That level of knowledge and care goes a long way.

We'll absolutely be recommending this place -- and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

We feel the Old Town location's food, service and prices are superior to the previous DC Ranch location. We came in on a Wednesday night. I was a little surprised we and 2 other people were the only people in the restaurant. The restaurant is spacious, has a nice bar and a nice outdoor patio if weather permits. We arrived and were sat immediately. Shawn our server was very friendly and pleasant. We were never left waiting for service. The menu is pretty vast with many GF and V options. For starters, we ordered the KOREAN FRIED CAULIFLOWER $21 Radish sprouts, rainbow quinoa, snap peas, toasted sesame seeds, korean hot pepper sauce. Wish it was a little more crispy but full of flavor. We also ordered the PEAR + GORGONZOLA FLATBREAD $22. Vintage white cheddar, crisp fried sage, sage pesto. This is a thin crust pizza. The flavors worked well together. For dinner, I ordered the MARKET STREET SHORT RIB MINI TACOS $24 off the starter menus. Cojita, caramelized onions, cilantro crema, micro greens, spicy roasted corn and avocado salsa and black bean salsa. I was surprised at how much meat was in this taco. Super tasty. Well worth the price. My husband ordered the SHORT RIB ENCHILADAS $29. Ancho pasilla sauce, manchego, served with napa cabbage slaw, topped with avocado + cilantro. He said these were delicious.

The six of us were seated across from the bar, and it was HOT . I started sweating and needed to use the menus as a fan and drink water to try and cool off. The restaurant had already been open for almost 2 hours, so I am not sure why it was so hot inside (others in our party were hot too, so I wasn't just me). Positives are the restaurant's beach decor and the hamburgers. Several people in our party ordered burgers, and they were cooked to perfection and the fries were really good! Negatives are very few seafood menu options and the fish tacos were terrible. They were drowning in a mayonnaise based slaw. The corn tortillas were really fresh and tasty, but when I bit into my taco I could mostly only taste mayonnaise and the pickled onions. Our friends even made an unsolicited comment that my tacos did not look good. Luckily, I selected fries as my side, because they were the best thing on my plate. With a name like Montauk, and the beach decor, I expected more fresh seafood options on the menu. More than half the menu was not seafood (Mediterranean platter, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, brussels sprouts, salads, etc.). Unfortunately, Montauk does not live up to the hype.

    Wildflower at the Phoenix Airport deserves way more than five stars…read more I stopped in near closing time and ordered the vegetarian lentil soup before my flight. The soup was delicious, though it was warm rather than hot, and I'm admittedly a little picky about that. When I mentioned it, the employee couldn't have been kinder and surprised me with a complimentary chocolate chip scone. Now for the embarrassing part. Somehow, while leaving, I managed to create a full-blown dramatic airport scene by tripping over a refrigerator and performing what can only be described as a slow-motion fall. Thankfully, I wasn't seriously hurt--just a few bruises and a wounded ego. The lentil soup was hearty and flavorful, and the chocolate chip scone was absolutely to die for: flaky, warm, and tasting like it had just come out of the oven. I boarded my flight and later realized my phone was missing. After using Find My iPhone, I discovered it had somehow ended up behind the register during my graceful tumble. I put it in Lost Mode and made it play a sound. This is where the story gets incredible. Destiny, the General Manager, found my phone and went above and beyond by arranging to have it shipped all the way to California. Great food, exceptional people, and customer service that is truly unforgettable. My stomach is growling just thinking about that lentil soup and scone. I'll absolutely be stopping at Wildflower every time I fly through Phoenix.
