We came here on a beautiful Sunday morning. We sat outside, which i don't think there is inside seating here. But, not sure. Anyway, this is such a peaceful and beautiful place! The Coffee and Tea were great. The Food wonderful! So romantic and beautiful. This is the place to go to just relax and remember what a great place the Valley can be. read more

If you are looking for a quaint and scenic place to eat, this is perfect! Located at The Farm at South Mountain (along with 2 other dining options- The Farm Kitchen and Quiessence) It was a lovely experience. The food is good, service was good - it's worth a trip. The offer mimosas and bloody mary's too. They have a private table in back for romantic setting too, you have to call an reserve it. read more

I love the farm and I love the Morning Glory Cafe. We had breakfast here today and it was fabulous. I had the french toast - yum yum yummy. My husband had the eggs benedict and he was happy as a clam. The food was very tasty and presented beautifully. I also had the fresh squeezed OJ, it was very tasty. My husband had the free refill coffee. I love the outside seating arrangement though it was a little chilly this morning. We let our toddler run and explore right outside of the restaurant area while we had our breakfast. The menu is small, but I'm sure they make everything well, I'd rather have a small well done menu, than a menu with so many options the kitchen can't do it all well. I love that they source locally and I love that they are environmentally friendly. Right up my alley. We'll be back soon! read more

Great atmosphere and excellent customer service but my meal was completely underwhelming. I ordered "the American breakfast" eggs, biscuit, sausage and home style potatoes. Scrambled eggs are what they are hard to make them bad so that was fine but my biscuit didn't taste as fresh as expected, the sausage was dry and over cooked and the potatoes had no flavor at all. Cute place but at $12 a plate I had higher expectations of the food. read more

I was far too embarassed about my first visit to the Morning Glory Cafe to do a proper yelp. My advice: don't take vitamins on a empty hangover stomach then allow your breakfast buddy to order really jiggly Eggs Benedict. Every bump to the table was pure torture for hypersensitive gag reflex. But despite my unflattering visit to restroom trailer, I absolutely loved the food and knew I would be back. Today I managed to convince my husband to go to the Farm for breakfast, which is a minor feat in and of itself. But I am happy to report that the breakfast was just as awesome as I promised my hubby that it would be. - The setting is beautiful, green, and soothing - The beverages are far above average. Coffee that doesn't get bitter as it cools and freshly squeezed orange juice. - The staff is friendly and wonderful. - The meal comes out ridiculously quick. It makes me wonder what takes so long at other breakfast joints. - The food is divine. The omelets are the best omelets I have ever eaten with fresh ingredients from the farm within sight of our table. We even heard the chickens while we were sitting there because it was early and the restaurant was nearly empty. The rosemary potatoes are perfectly seasoned and cooked. The hubby was equally impressed with his simple breakfast of eggs, bacon and pancakes with real maple syrup. He even noticed that the portion size was perfect and that substandard breakfast restaurants compensate for mediocre meals with a greater quantity of food. - The meal is a bit pricey for breakfast, but I didn't mind one bit. I can't afford regular visits but I really wish I could. We paid $37 for two meals, two coffees and 1 screwdriver (not on the menu, but they have the ingredients). - I do have one complaint, but I'm not sure if it's really a complaint or just a personal preference. I hate biscuits. They taste like dehydrated unbaked dough and I have no idea why any human would willingly eat one. Morning Glory Cafe's biscuit is as horrible as any other I have tried. Maybe for you biscuit-eaters out there it may actually be decent. - I felt like a humungous dork for doing this, but we talked about the breakfast for hours. It was incredibly tasty and we kept discussing it to verify that we both experienced this perfect breakfast and to reinforce our experience. read more

Very disappointing went for breakfast, but they are closed until September 21st. Yelp said they were open.

Really liked this place food was excellent and the restaurant sits on the back of this beautiful farm. Our family had a really good time and we will be going back soon. read more

I visited this restaurant on a perfect day. The weather was brilliant - not too windy or sunny and there was a lively atmosphere but it wasn't overcrowded. You definitely don't feel like you're in Arizona when you're here. The grounds are surprisingly lush and there's a lot of plant life. I did expect a farm when I visited, but aside from the few plants here and there - there's not much farmland. Moving on to the restaurant, the menu is definitely pricey. You are paying for the ambiance. The service was also very slow. I was actually audibly complaining to my boyfriend (sorry honey) about the long wait when the waitress finally brought out our food. I had the "Back To Your Roots" which is a vegetable omelette, over-easy eggs, and a buttermilk biscuit. The meal was very good. Just a headsup on the veggie omelette - it's quite carrot-heavy so if you're not a fan, I'd reconsider. Again, I'm so glad we went on a day with beautiful weather. I can't imagine the outdoor dining experience is very pleasant in 113 degree weather. Overall, a great brunch place to visit when the weather's nice. read more

:( I really wanted to like this place. I thoroughly enjoyed the farm, but I will review it separately. We were greeted by a busy waiter who quickly pointed to self-serve drinks (coffee, tea, water and lemonade) and ran off. We helped ourselves to some coffee and lemonade before we received our menus which stated that each drink was $2.75. I ordered the white truffled scrambled egg skillet (white truffles are my fave). I did not detect one bit of truffle essence in this dish. My fiance ordered the Cowboy Breakfast. It was like watered down chili with and egg on top. No great. The concept is great, but the way in which the food is prepared is super disappointing. read more

Flew into Phoenix at the buttcrack of dawn and needed some breakfast to get out of a zombie state. The Farm at South Mountain was just the thing. The farm is so quaint and peaceful and wonderful to walk around. Breakfast at the Morning Glory was perfect. I had the breakfast special enchiladas, which where flavorful and filling. My partner had the brioche french toast and was so content (and he considers himself a french toast connoisseur). Sitting outside under the trees was awesome, there was a rooster waling around crowing his little head off, and the service was attentive and friendly. Coffee was good too! Definitely the spot to go for a breakfast or brunch! read more

The atmosphere is really what draws you in! My carnivore friends gobbled their meals down, the chili and egg dish was a hit with them. The only vegan option I found was granola and fruit parfait (yogurt omitted of course) and it was TASTY! We came after hiking South Mountain and felt comfortable in our post hike outfits. All in all, cute place with friendly service. read more

Went to the Farm at South Mountain and ate at Morning Glory Café for breakfast on a Saturday it wasn't too busy. I had the Challah Bread French Toast and my Husband had the eggs benedict. Both were amazing. The French toast comes with 3-4 pieces of bread, topped with butter, bananas, raisins and syrup. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. The farm is so secluded and serene you won't know you are 10 minutes from sky harbor airport, totally another world. read more

They were quick to seat us and then totally forgot about us. We waited about 15 minutes and no one even looked at our table. I would say go somewhere else because it was a waste of time. What was the worst part is that they were not busy at all and were standing around. I was over all disappointed by the whole experience. read more

We stopped by Morning Glory cafe after a hike up south mountain. I love going to the farm and the morning glory cafe is always enjoyed by our guests when visiting. The cafe was packed and the service was a bit slow. Please don't forget though the kitchen is quite small. I tried the chorizo omelet and it was lovely. The potatoes are always perfectly cooked and the biscuit is a nice complement to the meal. Many healthy options to choose from and all fresh ingredients used! Enjoy. read more

Wonderful breakfast! Love the monte cristo, the breakfast enchiladas and the eggs benedict.

Very disappointed with my most recent visit. This was our first trip back this season and we brought some friends. I felt so embarrassed for inviting them without having been there in a few months. 1. They have changed the menu. The breakfast tacos (the reason I picked this place), waffles, and some omelets are gone 2. They changed the french toast. The new version was horribly disappointing with Marscapone Cheese and Raisin Bourbon Syrup. Both my wife, myself, and friends would have preferred the old candied pecan. 3. Disappointing food: - The "home fries" were dry, cold, stale, and very chewy with no seasoning at all. - Biscuits and gravy were disappointing. Gravy had poor flavor and the biscuits were flat, and burned - Eggs were very rubbery - I had to cut them with a knife. 4. Some items are way overpriced. $2.50 for 1 egg??. I can but a dozen of the Hickman's eggs that are used at the grocery store for that price. The one highlight of our visit was the Farm Monte Cristo. It was very flavorful and the Peppered Bacon Syrup was delicious. After this visit, I will not be back for a long time. read more

We meet Saturday mornings here for an early breakfast with girlfriends. Last Saturday morning the host asked us if we could vacate the table we had been eating on, because his Hostess was being bugged for tables by people who arrived later that morning. We were horrified at being asked this, and it marred the quality of the food and service. Do not go here if you want to have a relaxing breakfast with friends. If you spend longer than 2 hours on your table...they will suggest you vacate your table for the newcomers!!!! OFFENDED by this immensely. DO NOT GO HERE !GO TO HULA'S CAFE ON CENTRAL AND INDIAN SCHOOL FOR BETTER FOOD AND SERVICE! read more

The Morning Glory Cafe was ok. The greeting staff was great, however it did take twenty minutes to have someone finally take our order and I had to say something to someone to make that happen. That aside, the food was great. They don't offer sodas, but the self served water, lemonade and tea was cool. It's an average place on a farm like setting. read more

Stop and smell the SUNSHINE and a hearty Brunch! This is such a wonderful outing and the service is stellar. We will be back!

A must visit everytime I am in Phoenix. I wish I knew this was here when I lived in Phoenix. The scenery is just gorgeous! It is always busy but the scenery and set up you never feel rushed nor does it feel crowded. The whole premise of The Farm and Morning Glory Cafe is sustainability and quality, which they definitely achieve. Everything I have eaten is delicious and fresh. read more

See all

got the vegetarian scramble with griddled bread. medley of veges were fresh and topped with scrambled eggs drizzled with truffle oil. truffle oil and eggs just go well together....and i liked how they plated it on thop of a small skillet. breakfast was very peaceful..it was fun eating and hearing cows mooing.. drinks were self served unless you want a cocktail, etc got myself some water but there were dirt in it so i didnt drink it... parking was across the street so i had to walk along the farm to the restaurant which was tucked all the way inside. it was very nice weather when i went..so it was a nice meal.. read more

Beautiful outdoor cafe where I am finally okay with going somewhere filled with families and aren't bothered. Seriously though, PHX area is overflowing at the brim with families out to eat everywhere so it was awesome to find a delicious, fresh, local breakfast option where I wouldn't lose my mind over all the screaming children. While MGC does cater to families each table feels secluded and you can take in the nature and beauty of the farm, not to mention eat and chat in peace. Another reason for picking MGC is their use of local sustainable ingredients. As a vegetarian I think its really important to support local farmers so I am happy to see this trend picking up in AZ. I enjoyed the white truffle egg skillet with local veggies, it was phenomenal. Being veg I can sometimes get shafted by just eggs and toast dishes or the occasional bland omlette but this dish was so flavorful and full of deliciously chopped veggies (I know I saw some potatoes, cauliflower, bell pepper and green onion to name a few). I would considering bumping my fav breakfast dish 'eggs florentine' down a notch for this skillet. read more

Morning Glory Cafe - White truffle scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Breakfast was awesome! We ordered goat cheese, Turkey sausage and tomatoe omelettes along with the French toast. O.M.Goodness talk about scrumptious! Hands down best French toast I've had in ages. Can't forget the fresh squeezed o.j. and champagne to wash it all down with. Very nice cozy place, pleasantly surprised by the outdoor seating but nice to sit out with the fresh air eating the oh so fresh food. There's also a dinner restaurant that I will definitely try the next time I'm in town. read more

Good place but I am a breakfast lover and would say that it's worth going to but not the place I would make my regular hangout. We came here twice in a three week span and had two very different experiences. The first time was mid morning on the weekend. Very busy as you would expect as it is very popular. Don't necessarily park across the street and walk all the way up the gravel road. There is typically a couple few spots right by the place so drive the gravel road and park. The wait was an hour but we were ok with that because we wanted to try it. We had the eggs benedict, over medium eggs and home made sausage, and shared the blueberry waffles with vanilla whip cream. All very good. The coffee and drinks you get yourself on the back counter. The service was relatively good the first time even though you could tell she didn't want to be there. The second time we arrived later on the weekend, still busy, but only a 15 minute wait. Cool. We ordered the blueberry waffle again, ham and cheese omelet, and the over medium eggs with bacon this time. Get the sausage, the bacon was thin and greasy. This time the server tells us 2 minutes before the food is delivered that they ran out of whip cream for the waffles. We're like, ok fine. I'll tell you what, they are much better with that vanilla whip cream. The omelet looked like they ran out of cheddar cheese too because there was none inside and on top just a sprinkle, strange. The server was a nice kid but absolutely didn't want to be there and wasn't attentive at all. Not too mention the table was FUBAR'ed. No exaggeration, if you pushed on the table table top with two fingers you could flip a drink over because it swayed a foot either way. Nice. Look, we were gentle with the table, didn't complain, just wanted the same food from the time before. Not the case. Also, don't forget this is outdoor. So keep that in mind if you don't like the outdoors. Very pretty area. read more

My least favorite of the three places to eat at South Mountain. I wasn't very impressed by the food, no where near as delicious as quiescence or the farm lunch. read more

Morning Glory, get it together! I did my part by calling and asking for a reservation for 10 people. I left a message asking you to all me if you CAN'T accommodate us 2 days prior. 24 hours go by so I call and leave another message 1 day prior. NO response. Finally, I called that morning and got no response, so decided to head over early. Now for the BAD part....I approached the hostess to ask about my reservation and was told we were not on the list. She clearly did not care and her only offer was that a big table would be open "soon". I couldn't get any sort of indication of what "soon" meant so called everyone and gave them the bad news. The fact they were not willing to stick it out was very telling and should be an indicator for you. Clearly you don't care about my business so I won't be back. Way to lose a good, loyal customer, Morning Glory. read more

What a beautiful setting to eat breakfast in. That's why I'm giving it four stars. The eggs were yummy, the potatoes a little dry, and the coffee I would have preferred in an actual mug instead of a throw-away cup, although it did allow me to carry it around as we roamed the beautiful farm after eating. What a nice way to spend a weekend morning. read more

Came here for my birthday which was on a Wednesday in March. The weather was beautiful and breezy. There were some people but there were many open tables so we got right in. We also brought our little dog since we planned to go hiking after and wanted to bring her. It was nice to find a place to bring your four legged friend! Anyways, the first thing we noticed was the self serve coffee, water and lemonade. We actually liked this idea! The only thing that I had an issue with is that they don't mention that there is a charge for the lemonade. They really should have a sign or something that mentions this. While looking over the menu, we noticed that the trees above us kept shedding leaves which we really were not excited about getting into our meals when they arrived. The waitress was really nice and moved an umbrella over to shield us a little from the greenage dropping into our food. I decided on the monti cristo (over easy eggs, ham, and swiss cheese sandwiched between french toast with maple syrup) and my husband chose the cheese omelet with home fries. The monti cristo was soooo good. The only issue was that I noticed pieces of paper packaging still on my ham. It wasn't very much but it was a bit irritating having to peel little pieces of paper off of my ham! My husband was not impressed with his meal at all. He said the cheese on the omelet was nothing more than velveeta, the biscuit served with his meal was grainy and tough, and the home fries were not very flavorful. The prices were pretty high for breakfast and my husband said his breakfast didn't even fill him up. After breakfast, we walked around the farm a bit which was cool. The only thing we noticed was that there were no signs up next to each crop stating what they were. I would have liked to know what each was. To sum it up, it was a nice, peaceful atmosphere and I was happy that I could bring my little doggie. However, I didn't feel it was worth the price and being the fattie that I am, I really don't like to have distractions from eating my meals (leaves falling in my food, packaging on my ham...). I don't think we would go back unless our dogs wanted to go our for breakfast. Haha read more

The reviews are pretty much right on. The parking across the street (don't drive in the ditch thinking it is the driveway), the long walk down the gravel road (something my Father would not be into), to the bark path and hard to read signage. We went on a Thursday around 9am and shared the place with one other couple. I had the Monte Cristo Breakfast and it was awesome. My wife had the South Mountain Omelet and it was fresh and tasty. The goat cheese along with the salsa verde made the omelet. The coffee was luke warm at best. I asked our server if he could freshen it up a bit, he took it and threw it in the bushes. He said that is what they do on the farm. He returned with a fresh cup. The coffee is not spectacular at all, marginal at best. He was a good server with about 5 tables by the end of our meal. I am not a fan of the limited beverage selection there. I understand if they don't want fountain drinks there, but they should have an old time Coke machine for those that like soda. Either that or a self serve beverage tub with ice. All and all it was a good $32 breakfast. But not something that would draw me back again. read more

I like the concept of eating at a farm. And Morning Glory brought that concept to reality. The food was fresh. But I felt it was a bit overpriced. read more

If you're ever in the Phoenix area, this is a good place to have breakfast. And it looks like most locals go here too. I would've put 5 stars if not for the the tree leaves that keeps on falling on my breakfast plate as I eat. It's an outdoor cafe, very relaxed setting and serves great food. The eggs benedict are good and their biscuits as well. The service is fast! read more

Great place, totally didn't mind that it was a $40 breakfast for two (we had a mimosa, coffee and oj, which added a lot to the bill). If you dont' load up on drinks your bill won't be so bad. The food was exceptional and the atmosphere cannot be beat. So nice on a beautiful sunny day with 74 degree temps. Really gorgeous. Go before 10 am on a Sunday or it will be totally crazy busy. Overall a great place and we'd go back. read more

Nice atmosphere. Monte Cristo French Toast was yummy but coffee was not good. Watch out for small leaves falling from the trees above and make sure you get a lid for your drinks. read more

This place is too cute. It's a great date spot, it feels like you are a million miles away from the city. We didn't have to wait for a table, but if you do, I would take the opportunity to explore the farm. It really is a cool place. I had the American breakfast and my date had the Monte Cristo. Both were delicious. A couple of tips, the coffee/lemonade/tea is all self-serve from a table by the building, but it is not complimentary. So if you grab yourself a coffee and a lemonade for example you will be charged for two beverages. Personally I would prefer if they just did away with the self-serve table and had the servers bring the beverages like other restaurants. It is outside seating so in the cooler weather the meals cool down quickly. Also, you may be pelted with leaves or twigs from the surrounding trees if the wind blows and get a friendly bird or two hoping for a bit of your breakfast. I think it is part of the charm of the place, but yes you may be picking leaves out of your hair as you leave. Also, the bathroom is a little rustic. It's a step above an outhouse really. It is clean-ish for what it is but you have been warned. read more

Best breakie/brunch food EVER! The food is great and the organic coffee is yummy. My Fiance and I are having our wedding at the Farm and specifically wanted a brunch wedding so that we could eat the yummy breakfast food. read more

Put it this way: Every guest I have in Phoenix, I force to get the Monte Cristo at Morning Glory. It is just that good. Taking my parents here in two weeks and my mouth is salivating already. read more

I went here for an early morning breakfast on a lovely Sunday morning 2 weeks ago for the 4th time. I had a terrible experience. It was tons of flies around while eating, the services wasn't good. The waitress was overwhelmed. The restaurant didn't have adequate silverware and no jelly. How can you serve breakfast and not have any jelly. I will not be back again to the Morning Glory Cafe. read more

Love it. Correctly priced, good food. Where else can you find a place in the desert where you can eat under trees, in a farm? Granola is out of this world, and the Montecristo is to die for. Relax, enjoy. read more

Loved this place! We were in Phoenix for Spring Training & it was my birthday, so after carefully reviewing yelp, I chose Morning Glory for breakfast. It was perfect!!! The farm was darling, the cafe couldn't have been cuter, the service was great & the food was delicious. I had the Farm Omelet, with a side of granola. The granola was so incredible, I had to buy some to go. My kids had the French Toast (yum) and waffles, which they devoured.y husband had bacon & eggs & said it was great. We ate outdoors, and afterwards we went into the cute gift shop, toured the gardens and visited the farmer's market. Possibly the most perfect morning ever. Thanks, Morning Glory! read more

We went here last weekend for the first time with friends. Excellent food, and we had great service. We liked this place so much that we went back for brunch today. The chicken enchiladas are fantastic, as is the monte cristo. Definitely my new favorite brunch spot! read more
