    Locally owned, they seem to miss the mark on what 'should' happen here, but I appreciate the 'fresh' designed meals over the American fried options everywhere. Recommend: Not really, but not against it either. Options in Oro Valley are slim and this is why I think they could certainly improve on what 'should' happen here. Clean up the grounds... Food selection was limited, flies literally everywhere so one hand is used to eat, the other for fanning flies. Be prepared. To get to the back patio seating, you go through a chain fence and immediately seen lots of broken items on the ground. Very unappealing visually and a deterrent in relative to a quaint, eating location. Signage is poor and seating limited to outdoors. As a plus, they have a few lattice awnings over you and an attempt at a water-fall center piece with exposed wiring. Eclectic in designs, I'd offer that they improve the visuals... There is a market attached but zero communication from Wait Staff towards recommending to stop in and sole restroom is inside past the kitchen Food was tasty if not and simple flavored, certainly not amazing nor bad... Refills on Iced-Tea was a challenge and napkins even more scarce. Very minor adjustments could really make this place pop. I hope they're listening...

    Twice now I've shown up to eat breakfast only to find out the cafe is closed due to the air conditioning system being broken. Location is temporarily closed. Hours are 8-3 not 7-3 as listed on Yelp. Store next door is still open. We tried calling to make sure they were open but got no answer so we thought we take our chances but sadly they were closed.

    This is a cute little patio cafe located in Oracle. Patio is dog friendly. Please note- there is no indoor seating and the patio can get warm during the summer. I ordered their chicken salad and it was fresh and good. The perfect meal for warm weather. However, the real treat was the market on the other side. I got their chocolate torte and it was amazing! You can find fresh Italian desserts homemade there. You should definitely drop in if you're in town.

    Eggs w/ chile relleno - wonderful!

    Great place for a stop after a visit to Oracle SP. Love their patio out back. Started with a cup of coffee which was very good. A group of bikers came in just after we did, so they got our order going in a hurry and it came out promptly. I had the chile rellenos with eggs over easy - a combo I have never had before, but it was truly excellent. Love their salsa (a little smokey flavor). My wife had the crepes with blueberry, and I am happy to report that I HAD to help her finish it. Really great. Stopped in their little market after our meal to see what they had and picked up some locally roasted coffee. Worth checking out! This was our first visit, but it will definitely be a destination for us after this!!

    Excellent ambiance outside.

    This cute little place is right off the highway and so worth the stop. In fact, it's only a half hour outside of Tucson (depending on where you live in town). We were hungry for lunch, having driven a loop over Redington Pass (you need 4-wheel drive to go that route, beware) but was I ever glad I found this cafe with its adorable patio (on Yelp). I ordered the Grinder with its house-made pickles and my guy got their filet mignon chili-both SO delicious! Homemade French bread for the Grinder that had ALL the fixings, and the corn tortilla, shredded cheese, sour cream and diced red onion were perfect with the chili. Nevermind the homemade (almost everything is in this place) Sangria and Scone of the Day. Yep, you heard right, they make a gorgeous scone every morning. This one was a cinnamon apple raisin - truly delicious. The waitress actually made the Sangria, which was refreshing and a perfect balance of fruit and wine. I loved our waitress too-so down to earth and helpful. Everything came out super fast from the kitchen. You could tell the cafe is like a well-oiled machine run by a happy family. They even sell their homemade pies, cinnamon rolls, and more in their shop at front of restaurant. I picked up a summer sausage and would've added locally grown mushrooms and steak to the mix but we didn't bring a cooler. Next time. We will be back.

    The most vegan-friendly place in Oracle, AZ We drove two hours south of Phoenix to zipline at the Arizona Zipline Adventures and dropped by the Oracle Patio Cafe afterwards to grab brunch. Searched beforehand and Patio Cafe is the most vegan-friendly place in the area. Ordered the "chorizo" scrapple. Before this, I did not know what a scrapple was so did not have anything to compare it to. I thought the crimini mushrooms and squash were real nice; the microgreens was a nice touch. I also had a few bites of the hemp tamales that someone else ordered. The tamales are made from nearby Tuscon and a taste of the spicy one was probably the best bite of the meal. Patio Cafe is family owned and started in 2012 to also operate as a community hub. We were served by the matriarch who was super friendly and does the baking. There's a small market inside that offers local produce and an array of gluten free and vegan options. If you're in the area, definitely show some love and check this place out.

    My goodness, these are some excellent pies! We tried the strawberry rhubarb and key lime pies. They…read morewere both perfect in sweetness (not the typical overly sweet) and the strawberry rhubarb crust was perfect and flaky. The key lime pie had was also delicious and did not disappoint. I'm fussy about pies and these were outstanding. The service was prompt and polite, and the atmosphere was clean and "take your pies home and eat them" as soon as possible!

    Back Dough is an off shoot on Wilmot Rd of the Beyond bread restaurant around the way on Broadway…read morenext to Bookmans. You really wouldn't see this place driving down Wilmot because it's tucked behind two businesses, with 4 fifteen minutes parking spots designated for the shop. It's a small little pie shop and all pies are six inch mini pies for $7.99. Many are topped with pipped whipped cream unless you order a double crust fruit pie or quiche. I think I've sampled every pie. The size is perfect to split with someone. No drinks or other things are available here, but one can purchase drinks down the way at Beyond Bread. The staff are always getting customers rung up and out quick. Because the space is so small you go in the entrance, order your pies and then go out an exit door. There's no room for meandering or window shopping. You just wait your turn to look and order right away and I rung up the whole space is quite small nonetheless it's fun to go there and get a little treat now and again. And today was one of those days. My mom and I parked while my sister was checking out Bookmans. We picked out a pie to share, went to the patio to eat it, and it was good.

But if you weren't as hungry as before, the long wait coupled with the aroma and watching people get their food will make you hungry once you do get yours! * Learned they are trying out new cookie recipes and so if you recall the cookie sampler- it's no longer on the menu. Instead they do have some new seasonal cookies ( we had the Banana pudding cookie which was pretty good).

My husband loved his peanut butter cookie. Both cookies were soft, and we received them right after ordering. The cottage is charming with a few seats and tables inside and plenty outside. The weather was perfect at eighty eight degrees, so we sat outdoors. They also sell pizza and have a ton of drink options. The cashier was friendly and shared that they have new flavors. We originally came for the six piece sampler, but it has been discontinued. The lemon cookie was still a true treat. If you visit Mount Lemmon, make sure to get the lemon cookie. I appreciate the small ziplock bag for leftovers. Overall we really enjoyed our treats, and it was the sweet touch to our visit.
