I have never sat down at a restaurant and enjoyed everything on my plate like I have here. We visited for the first time today and decided we will most definitely be returning for more. The restaurant itself is beautiful and well lit. It was clean and well taken care of. Our party of several guests was seated immediately upon arrival. The menu features an impressive selection of handcrafted refreshments, including artisan smoothies, specialty coffees, and teas, eschewing traditional sodas and standard juices in favor of higher-quality offerings. I ordered the coconut lime refresher, which was exceptionally bright and refreshing. The chicken tacos were equally outstanding. My husband selected the "Goat Temptation," which proved so popular that our nine-year-old shared a significant portion of it. Every plate was cleared, and the quality of the meal was exemplary throughout. We were particularly impressed by the service provided by Monae, whose warmth and attentive care truly enhanced our dining experience. It is clear that she is deeply passionate about her craft. I would rate this experience higher than five stars if possible; it was truly exceptional. read more

We came here on a weekday for our girls' catch-up lunch. My friend suggested this place, and none of us had been here before. I'm glad she picked it. Starting from the outside, with a couple of tables out front, the place already had a chill vibe. Once we walked in, it felt very spacious. I loved the decor and the colors. We were seated at a bigger table for the four of us. At first, we thought the table might be a little too big, but it actually worked out perfectly because we could use the extra chairs for our purses and bags. Very thoughtful! My friends ordered regular lattes, and I got the Triple Berry Fusion. For food, we ordered the Omelette with Sausage, Saumon Fumé Toast, and the Monae Chicken Sandwich. The presentations were all so pretty, and everything tasted delicious. Our server was very nice. She let us take our time to chat and even became our photographer. At the end, we also got the chance to meet the owner, Monae. She was very kind, easygoing, and welcoming. The only thing that might be an issue is if we bring our husbands or guy friends with us next time. The portions are a little on the smaller side, so they might still be hungry afterward. We'll definitely come back to try something different next time. read more

This is such a cute place to have brunch. I love the decor and the chic ambiance. There wasn't a long wait to be seated or receive service. You feel like you're at an upscale lounge even though you are in a strip mall. Completely unexpected. We unfortunately did not get the chance to try the fusion food so we will be back! read more

Took 10 mins to get 1/4 glass of water, 20 mins after order to get coffee and 45 from order to get food. Only 8 other patrons in the restaurant. Waitress consistently said it was her first day. Oh and they don't have coffee...it's an espresso with hot water. Food was decent hence 2 stars. Won't be back. read more

A friend recommended Monae Fusion recently so we had to try it. I ordered their new chicken sandwich but forgot the name of it. It was so delicious and fresh. It's pretty large sandwich so I should've saved half for later but couldn't help myself from gobbling it all up. My friend ordered their pancake breakfast plate and she really enjoyed it too. The side salad was very fresh with incredible dressing. Service is excellent and the dining room is very cozy and beautifully decorated. Their drinks especially coffee look really good; we will try them next time. read more

Our first time trying this neighborhood cafe for breakfast and it was so delicious. We were surprised at the quality of the food and how presentable everything was. I love the decor with all the plants. The staff is very friendly, they checked on us to see how everything was. I tried their Ultimate breakfast and it was just the right balance of healthy and savory. Their iced coffees are great too! Obviously we will be visiting here often. read more

Cute cafe with friendly service and tasty food (and free wifi!) I came by during a workday with my laptop. I was almost immediately greeted by (I believe she is the owner based on responses I've seen on Yelp) and she stopped by my table to tell me that I didn't need to feel rushed. This was incredibly kind of her to say, because oftentimes when I do bring my laptop I am rushed by waitstaff even if I'm ordering food and eating a meal. Very nice! Wifi was pretty good, too. The food was very good! I had a turkey and pesto sandwich and it was fresh and delicious. I also had a dessert: ordered one of their cupcakes and got the lemon one. Cupcake was cold. Not my favorite way to enjoy a cupcake nor did I realize it was refrigerated or may not have gotten it. But nonetheless it was flavorful and baked well. I also enjoyed a cup of decaf coffee and they had a huge menu of drinks to choose from. Service was kind and attentive (but not *too* attentive) which is very appreciated! The atmosphere is well-decorated to what you would expect an Instagram-meets-Pinterest board. It's got faux greenery and jewel tones. They play music in there that's quite loud if the dining room is empty. The music is a mix of Christian rock and gospel music. Overall I am really glad I stopped in! I was disappointed they were sold out/not offering their whole menu, but I'd definitely recommend it! read more

This place was a terrific find on a recent visit to Phoenix. The shopping culture in Phoenix befuddles me, but there are little gems like Monae Fusion Brunch Cafe tucked away in unassuming corners of drab strip and/or overbuilt outdoor shopping malls all over a sprawling city where every street corner resembles every other street corner down to the pervasive, oppressive brown. This cafe is classy, comfortable, and feels like a cafe you might find in Paris. I ordered their Rise N' Shine breakfast dish along with one of their Tropical Refreshers--All of which were delicious, different, and exactly what I needed to get my engine going on a very warm day in mid November. Service was superb. Highly recommended. read more

I just realized I have a pending reservation and the prior had to cancel. Stay in touch, will advise after we actually eat there lol.

My friend and I stumbled upon this wonderful brunch cafe while looking g for a new place to try. The pictures online just don't do this place justice. I will start by saying the hours state they open at 8am on Saturday, but the actual time is 8:30. When we walked in, we immediately got warm, comfy vibes. There were wonderful blue, cozy chairs, crystal light fixtures and a pastry display case filled with beautiful, tasty looking goodies. We were greeted with a smile and seated right away. I ordered a dirty chai that was good, but my friend for the vanilla honey latte which was OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious! I will be getting that next time. Both were served in a pretty mug on a white saucer with gold trim. We then ordered our meals while we chatted and sipped our drinks. It didn't take too long before our meals arrived. I got the Ultimate breakfast and she got the Double Trouble. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely wonderful. The pancakes are so fluffy and taste great, even without syrup. It was so much food that neither of us were able to finish our meals! Service was wonderful. This is a place I will be taking my friends to. read more

My young daughter originally picked this place out for us to try as a start to our "girl's day" based on one of the photos someone posted of creme a la fraise (which is what she ended up ordering for herself). It was an unbelievably delicious meal. The ambiance was unlike anywhere else I've ever been. It is beautifully decorated, each table is super comfy but not difficult to eat in chairs, and a yummy display case for baked goods. Highly recommend the early riser frittata! read more

Overall this place is good!!! We were first customers on a Saturday morning. The coffee was good - lots of options. Took a while to make but I can appreciate that. We ordered our food and were told the chef hasn't shown up yet so it will be a while. Weird but okay -- I was prob 820 by this time. We saw the chef walk in at 830ish so we were happy we might get food. I tried the breakfast with eggs, bacon and 3 small pancakes. Let me say -- these pancakes were so fluffy and delicious!!!! Serious yum!! Took a lot of time, but a supporting a local Business with good coffee and food -- I'll be back again! read more

The space was absolutely beautiful. The hostess was extremely sweet and the waitress was attentive. The food was good. I ordered the salmon toast which came on one slice of sourdough bread with salmon, cucumber, cream cheese , tomatoes, and capers. It was good but for $20 I expected something that was filling. I was shocked to have only gotten one slice of toast. Had I not shared with my friend and ate some of her flatbread, I would have been pretty disappointed at the price of the food and it didn't fill me up at all. I also had a spritzer that was tasty but after drinking that, a glass of water, and my $20 slice of toast, I was still hungry. For the price of a slice of toast, I think adding a small cup of fruit would sufficient so a customer would feel spending $20 for one slice was worth it. My friend said the food was underwhelming for her but she enjoyed the meal overall. The flatbread was good , I should have ordered that as it was filling but I had no idea my chosen meal would not be. Lastly, the environment was giving blessed. I do love that worship music was playing during our meal and it just made the scene more calm and serene. read more

Enjoyed brunch here for Mother's Day weekend. A bright and chic atmosphere with staff who are warm, welcoming and accommodating. Our party each ordered a different entree and no crumbs were left! My only critique would be the goat meat was a little tough for my liking, but everything was flavorful, down to the tropical smoothies and refreshers. I look forward to returning. read more

Totally unique experience, totally relaxing with ambience beyond measure, and food to match

This place is a hidden gem. If you haven't been here you need to go. Walked through the door and was immediately greeted by the owner. So sweet and lovely. First off the ambience here is awesome. All three of us took away from The decor that we would love our living room to look this cozy and inviting. The chairs were super comfy. It was between contemporary design, something out of a vogue magazine, and cool coffee shop vibes. Sat right down three of us for brunch on the day before Thanksgiving. We got Churro latte and two specialty drinks. I had the triple Berry my wife had the latte and our friend had a third I don't remember(something tropical). The latte was vanilla forward and had a nice cinnamon flavor. I would say it's kind of like a dessert latte. My wife loved it, said it was exactly what she was looking for. My triple Berry was super delicious. Not overly sweet, light on the bubbles, heavy on the flavor. It was garnished with lemon slices and fresh mint and was truly refreshing. For food our friend got the fusion quesadilla which he loved and said the salad that went with it was so amazing. I had the double trouble, the bacon was crisp, the presentation was beautiful, the avocado was seasoned nicely ingredients fresh 10/10. Wife got the crème a la fraise. She loved it, perfectly cooked, creamy sweet with fresh berries, bacon crisp and flavorful, egg was delicious and not over cooked like some places. We were so enthralled with the food that we didn't take pictures of it wish we did the presentation was beautiful. The service was great but the owner coming out at the end and chatting with us was even nicer. Lovely people really. Only problem I have with this place is I was visiting out of state and can't come back!! You will not be disappointed with this place. It is tricky to find but if you're looking at the Daiso it's to the left. Don't miss it! You won't regret it. read more

What a cozy relaxing place for breakfast. Definitely a hidden gem. The food is fantastic! My wife and I split the omelette which was light and fluffy and the veggies were perfectly cooked. The ambiance is great; worship music playing in the background. Definitely will be back again. read more

Monae Fusion Brunch Cafe was an accidental find, and it's a GEM of a restaurant in Glendale, AZ. The fritatta that I ordered was delicious, freshly made, served with sliced avocado, perfectly crisp, thick, tasty bacon, toast and jam. Service was excellent. The seating? Who would guess we had comfy armchairs??!! The juice selections are varied and delicious and made with fresh fruit. Coffee was sweetened with Agave. There's music, but another surprise, unlike many modern eateries, we could converse without shouting. The ambiance is welcoming, and prices are competitive. We got there at 9:00, by 10:00 the tables were full. I recommend Monea Fusion highly. You won't be disappointed. read more

No shade to them becuase I didn't realize it was a Christian cafe but not for me. My main issue was that they took 35 minutes to make us three drinks when there were 5-6 teenagers working behind the register. They were out of several things as well. Three drinks were $27 and the strawberry banana smoothie was just milk and strawberry with no banana. The people were very nice but I would not go here again. read more

My husband and I had lunch there today,and loved the experience. Monae is absolutely delightful. We were in at a *slowish* time so she spent a lot of time talking with us. Our server was courteous and friendly. We chose two of the Afro Fusion menu choices, and they did not disappoint. Monae also added a pancake *on the house*. One of the best pancakes I've tasted. We need to go back and try some of the other interesting menu choices. The portions were generous enough that we brought some home. read more

Delicious and fresh perfect portion. My friend tried an Afro fusion goat meal (can't remember the name). I tried some and it brought me back to my time in Kenya. So freaking good!! I will definitely be bringing more people here!! read more

WOW, JUST WOW! So so good! From the ambiance, decorations, food and service this place is a must! I walked in for a solo lunch and I was amazed by the decor and feel. I was greeted and sat right away. It's like a cafe with fresh yummy food and great made to order juice fusions, smoothies and coffee drinks. It was cozy, the bathroom was clean but no changing table for infants. There are a couple outdoor tables but mainly indoors. Can accommodate larger parties but you'll have to sit at different tables. The owner came by and asked how everything was and was very attentive and nice. She really cares about her establishment and will be celebrating 2 years soon! Make sure to stop by for a girls brunch or a cute little date day spot. They do breakfast and lunch only! Highly recommend! read more

She runs the cafe with her husband and kids so it's a true, family-owned, family-run business. The vibe inside is top-notch aesthetic.
