    Who's your cafe? Hoosier Cafe! Whenever we travel we always search for great diners. We found the Holy Grail of diners here. We had a vegetarian omelette with a side of crispy bacon, hash browns and a biscuit and gravy, and a Belgian waffle. There's Indiana sports legends jerseys on every wall. And our server, Shannon, was top notch. Try it, you'll like it.

    Loaded Biscuits and Gravy

    If you're craving comfort food, this spot absolutely delivers. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with sausage, topped with an egg--and it was delicious. Everything was flavorful, hearty, and exactly what you want when you're in the mood for a satisfying meal. Service was just as great as the food. We were seated right away when we walked in (went during the week, so no wait), our order was taken promptly, and the food came out quickly. Overall, such a smooth and enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

    Stopped in for a tenderloin, I'd heard they were fantastic, and definitely didn't disappoint! Great flavor, nice breading and of course huge!! Waitress was very friendly, made sure we had everything we needed!

    Eggs

    Nothing too Midwest about my breakfast, but it was still solid. Adding onions and peppers for $1 to hash browns was a nice touch. Eggs and coffee good for about $14.

    The food was pretty good, no complaints! While it isn't the best breakfast I've had, it did taste like good old homemade food which was nice. The service was great and quick.

    Always amazing and delicious. I've been coming here for more than a decade and I'll always come back! Staff is friendly, food is quick, typical diner.

It had the perfect balance of sweetness without overpowering the coffee. You can tell they use high-quality beans because the flavor was incredibly smooth. We also tried a latte, and it was equally delicious. Ordering is done through a kiosk, which isn't usually my favorite, but Caffenio makes it easy. There are so many customization options, and the process is very user-friendly. I was also happy to see they offer multiple milk choices, including dairy-free options. The barista was warm, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Another bonus is the large patio with misters, which made sitting outside comfortable even on a warm Arizona morning. Overall, this was a fantastic first visit, and Caffenio has definitely earned a spot in our regular coffee rotation. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

There are two drive thru kiosks here and ordering is all through a screen. There are so many different drinks and foods on the menu that if you are a newbie to this place it might be a bit overwhelming. On my most recent visit I had a caramel rockaccino with cinnamon and oat milk. It didn't take too long for it to be made and it had a well balanced sweetness and creaminess. I'd definitely get it again. I appreciate that you can bring in your own cup for them to use for your drink and it appears that you might get a little discount for using your cup too! I'll have to remember to bring in mine next time I want a coffee from here.

One of my favorites that they offer is the Manhattan Club. I have also had the turkey bacon avocado sandwich. Everything tastes fresh and is loaded with flavor. They also have great salads and side dishes. Their potato and macaroni salads are among my favorite side dishes. They also have a nice selection of drinks. Some of my favorite beverages are their lemonades, smoothies, and coffee. The service is friendly. Every time I have walked into the building, someone at the counter has always greeted me with a warm smile and asked me how my day was going before I placed my order. I also like the atmosphere. A nice place to relax and enjoy your meal. Their portion sizes are also big for the price.

It is perfection... the bacon is crispy and appropriately salty; the chicken, lettuce, tomato and ranch all complement each other nicely. The kicker is the chipotle sauce they apply. It's almost like a hot honey or something. It adds the perfect balance of sweet to the savory saltiness. Plus, I love how they grill the bread lightly. It adds the slightest little toasty note and crunch. I'll be back to try the Italian Wedding soup if it is the featured soup of the day. It was highly recommended by a neighborhood regular who eats there essentially every week. This sandwich experience restored my faith after I had a sandwich half as good for twice the price the week before at a competitor which, for now, shall remain nameless. Thank you Z Cafe for taking me to sandwich nirvana!

They have a larger patio space outdoors, which I asked and discovered they are dog friendly so happy to find another venue we can bring the girls to. The patio was still shaded when we left about noon so it's a good spot for pups. Two of our group was already seated when we arrived so we joined them upon arrival. Lisa, our server, immediately came over for drink orders and confirm we were still waiting for others to join. Lisa, was so patient and friendly while the group gathered and decided what to order. I asked for a glass of O.J. which was sans pulp for those who don't like it in their O.J. I prefer some to jazz it up but it was a good glass of juice. They have a good sized menu with both breakfast and lunch offerings, and it took a bit to decide on what we were eating. I decided on the Corned Beef Hash with two eggs over-medium and a pancake. I asked for it on a separate plate and she said no worries, that's how it is served. The hash was sooo good! Cooked to a crispy crust and so flavorful and not salty at all, which I loved because sometimes hash can be salty. It also came with hash browns, which were cooked perfectly and not greasy in the least. I asked for my eggs over-medium and they too were cooked to perfection. It came with one pancake (I chose this in place of toast) and it was good size cake, with a nice malty flavor. It's sprinkled lightly with powder sugar and a dispense of warm syrup was provided as well. Really good breakfast! Wife went with the 2 egg breakfast with bacon and sourdough toast. They serve a wonderful homemade blackberry jam with the toast, which was really good and jammy. She also had her eggs done the same way as me and they were cooked to perfection. The bacon was perfect and she commented about the hash browns being cooked to a crunchy outer and tender on the inside. Everyone else said their meals were just as good and everything looked delicious. Great breakfast find and we will be back! Thank you to all of the staff and cooks!

So for other kids it's might be just right for them, too, however if your kids have tastebuds, the sweet treats and meatballs do the trick (very garlicky meatballs for me) It was lovely and fun to visit the market afterwards too.
