Much higher quality food than you would expect to find in the lobby of an office plaza. Everything was very tasty and perfectly fresh. Price is very reasonable. read more

First off! This cafe is in the lobby of a business building. They serve hot breakfast to order, sandwiches, salads, and the lunch hot special of the day. They serve Starbucks coffee. I ordered a latte with whole milk (they only had almond milk as a milk alternative). It was ok! Hit the caffeine need at what I imagine is a convenient location that work here. I was driving by and this was the closest spot. There is 15 min free parking out front. read more

I love coming to Lucy's for breakfast. It family run and everyone is super friendly. Lucy's is located in one of the Fountainhead complex office buildings. Each of these buildings has something to offer, but Lucy's may be the overall best. What makes them special and above the rest, is something so simple and very basic. They actually cook your food and fry your eggs et cetera, as you wait. Nothing is premade. Everything is fresh from scratch and everything tastes good. NIce! I also need to sing their praises of their coffee. Whether it's their drip, or specialty coffee drinks, everything is delicious. I've been coming here for eight months and I have never had a bad meal. I would energetically recommend them to anyone who lives or works in the area. Enjoy! read more

Friendly service, clean, cozy environment and yummy food! We definitely will be coming back to try out the breakfast options!

Great little cafe that's super close to my work! I love their breakfast. Pretty cheap ($7 and under) and delicious food. My favorite is the Croissant Sandwiches they offer ($4~). They give you a choice of meat - bacon, sausage and ham. My favorite is the sausage. The only bad thing is that their breakfast ends pretty early - around 10:30am. And they close around 2pm. Salad portions are huge, delicious chili and overall a wide selection of food and it's pretty cheap! read more

I love everything I get from here! My personal favorites are: Chorizo Burrito (Friday breakfast special) Breakfast Sandwich on a Croissant Roll Tuna Salad Sandwich on Sourdough with Cheddar Cheese! And everyone who works there are the nicest people you will ever meet! Alex, the owner, really knows how to keep a happy work environment. I wil always recommend Lucy's for breakfast and lunch, or even a snack! read more

I went here for breakfast one morning and had a breakfast sandwich that was made to order. Yummy. It is tucked into a corporate center so finding it might be a little bit of a challenge. It is worth the search! read more

Lucy's Fountainhead Cafe - the coffee machine - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Great fresh food and an extremely pleasant place to eat. Great indoor and outdoor seating.

Breakfast croissant with bacon is my go-to whenever the office makes a breakfast run to Lucy's. I have yet to step foot into the Café but from what I've ordered and ate at the office, I would definitely recommend it to my other 9-5ers! And anyone else looking for breakfast! Definitely will update my review once I physically stopped by and ordered something other than my usual. read more

It's very pricey for OK food. The portions are on the small side. See tiny potato salad photo. The egg omelet was very poor quality. Soggy, mushy avocado. Hardly any veggies in the veggie omelette. I asked for a chicken wrap, they gave me a turkey wrap. There was too much sauce, which made everything too wet/soggy. Sauce had a good flavor. Staff is really nice. It's a tiny café inside a business complex. No other eating. If you need a bite to eat quickly, and you don't care about taste this place is OK. read more

Great food, peaceful environment, inside and out. Was able to have conversations and actually hear each other.

Most excellent little hide away. Food is simple, fresh and tasty. Prices reasonable. Quality very very good. I just had a grilled chicken sandwich, very good. Nothing complicated or fancy, but greasy and tasty. Beautiful location. Highly Recommend. read more

Lucy's Fountainhead Cafe - the interior of the restaurant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Cute little cafe tucked into an office building. The service was incredibly quick which was great if you are on a lunch break. There is a beautiful out door seating area and in the Arizona winter it was a great place to enjoy your meal. The food was definitely ok nothing fantastic but the service and the setting made it worth the 3 stars. read more

LUCY'S IS THE BEST! I should have written this review YEARS ago! Back when I worked in the building and had lunch there nearly every single day. Back when I would order catering for our meetings or visitors. Back when I was greeted by Lucy's lovely smile, hello, and asking if I wanted my veggie sandwich on wheat with no tomatoes! She remembered everyone's face, name, and their regular order (she'd even remember the new one if you switched it up on her)! After no longer working in the same building, and Lucy sadly no longer being with us, I am so happy to stop in now and then and STILL get the same amazing service and quality from Lucy's, thanks to her loving husband, Alex. Your food and service is with love...from a tight-knit restaurant family. read more

Lucy's is awesome! It's a nice little cafe with croissant sandwiches, soups, soda, coffee, unique bottled drinks, candy, chips, and a variety of breakfast items. Truth is, I go to Lucy's every morning for a large soda and a cinnamon muffin. The best part about Lucy's is that Lucy literally knows every single one of her customer's names. She gets to know her customers (a lot of us are regulars) and most people become regulars. This restaurant staff is so kind that we become loyal customers. Plus, they use Boar's head deli meats which taste the best and they don't skimp! It's in a corporate business building, so it's not obvious from the outside, but it is a quaint, quiet place with indoor and outdoor seating. I think it closes around 2:30pm though, so remember that when making your plans. It's a clean, fast and an inviting cafe for a decent price and smile. :) read more

Those of us in the Fountainhead area couldn't imagine a world without Lucy's cafe. Food is excellent, both in taste and quality. Definitely a step or more above the competition in the area. Great lunch specials, and the salads have always been phenomenal. My all-time favorite is the breakfast burrito. Lucy herself is behind the counter, and she even gave me the phone number so I could call ahead and order before the breakfast menu ends. Oh! Important to note, Lucy's is where we all go for the best coffee in the area. She brews Starbucks and it's worth paying for instead of drinking what is in the break rooms at work. Dining area outside her cafe has just been updated (gorgeous) and is suitable for casual business lunches. read more

Cute little cafe counter in an office building. Not really a sit down type place, but there is seating in the lobby outside of the cafe and there is a nice seating area outside that's shaded and had misters next to a little pond! Service was fast and the food was good. read more

I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for lunch, but if you are in the neighborhood, it just may be the best choice. They have a good selection of salads and sandwiches, they prepare them well, and it's not too expensive. Add a nice outdoor seating area and quick service, and Lucy's is an enjoyable place to chow down. read more

Grabbed lunch here. There was inside and outside seating. Service was fast and my order was correct and made well. I would go again. Everyone was nice. read more

Get their Onion bagel with hot pastromi. It is so good i literally get it every day! The staff are excellent and friendly. Lucy, if you go there a few times will greet you by name. Great place, and remember, get their oinion bagel with hot pastromi! read more

All I can say is the chorizo burritos on Friday are life changing. Lucy is a master mind!

We love this place. friendly service and great food at a reasonable price. When i order they always remember my name. Cant beat that. I would highly recommend. read more

Working in the same building that Lucy's Cafe is in, it is a convenient place to have breakfast and lunch. Quick & Friendly service. Love that the staff takes the time to learn their customers name, definitely makes you feel welcomed. The food is fresh, and delicious. The only down side is that the prices for a lunch combo is a little pricey. Overall, great place to have a nice sit down lunch and enjoy the pond view. read more

A co-worker and I were hungry last Thursday and decided to order from Lucy's. We were really happy about everything. We both ordered a breakfast burrito and we were satisfied with the food as well as the price . We are going back to try the lunch soon! read more

I LOVE this place! I always think I know what I am getting and then see the specials and sold! Never had anything I didn't like and I flippen love Lucy, she as well as everyone else are so sweet. Lucy greets everyone coming in like good friends and remembers not only faces, but names and even some of your favorites. In addition to the food .... Oh they have boars-head meat, there is tons of drinks, candy, chips, ice cream, really you can't go wrong here. I seriously would eat here every day!!!!! read more

Love walking here from my office. Had the bulgogi special, which was excellent, the chorizo burritos are awesome, and salads are great too. Never had a bad lunch, and everyone is so friendly! I always feel like I'm a regular. read more

Nice surprise! Dropped in to eat here on a business trip because I didn't want to eat at a chain restaurant. Little hard to find for a first timer because it's inside an office building on the ground floor. Counter person was pleasant and helpful. Service was fast. Had the Asian chicken salad. Portion was just right. Veggies were crisp and fresh. Chicken was warm and moist. Dressing on the side (which I like.) Basically - a satisfied customer. read more

Decent little lunch spot in an industrial area that doesn't have much else in the way of food, except for the old donuts at the circle k. the salads are good and of a good portion. they use boars head brand of lunch meats, which is one of the best quality of lunch meats out there in my opinion. the coffee was okay. the staff was nice. it had a nice open seating area both indoors and outdoors. read more

Sad news about Lucy. She remembered every single person that came in by name and put a smile on my face every day. Food is always great, but the people like Lucy and her husband made this place great. This is a big loss! Cancer has taken 2 lives and 2 people are battling it in my life this year alone. RIP Lucy! #CancerSucks read more
