    It was kismet that we came here when we did since we learned the cafe is usually closed for the winter and not open again until March. There was a special event in the town so the cafe was open for that. We stopped for lunch and it was superb. They had a limited menu but we wanted for nothing. My husband got the rueben, my daughter and I shared the turkey avocado croissant, both came with their homemade pickles...*pause for effect*...They. Were. AMAZING! This cafe is a gem! They also make their own dough for their homemade, out of this world, pies! I've never had a pie crust that I crave more than the actual filling. I will drive back to this city just for this pie. We shopped in their attached market which has a case full of their pies + other treats like strawberry cake, individual cherry tart cheesecakes, danishes, etc. They also have another case with homemade pizzas, pot pies, etc. Also, many more fridges, freezers, tables full of specialty gelato, honey, sauces, and accoutrements. They even have a meat counter and fresh produce. Whether you're visiting the town or just passing through, try to stop by here if you can.

    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.

    While in the town of Oracle, my wife and I went to Riot for lunch. We had our puppy with us and had…read moreto find a place that allowed dogs. Riot is all outdoor seating (six tables) which was perfect and fit our needs. My wife had been to Riot a few times and loves the chicken basket. She talked me into trying it and we shared a three piece chicken basket. The patio seating was comfortable and the western music playing on the sound system was awesome!. The two staff members were friendly and attentive. Our chicken basket arrived fairly quickly and, wow! The pieces of chicken were huge. The chicken tenders were double breaded and came on a bed of fries. The three piece basket was definitely enough for the two of us and a bit for the pup. Looking at the menu, they have a chicken sandwich, burger, and other types of food. I definitely will be back to try the other offerings. If you are in Oracle, this place is worth a try if you looking for a quick bite. The prices are in line with other restaurants this rural town. The portion size makes this item a value.

The hand cut fries were amazing and plenty of them. Sat outside at a table and there are blankets to put on your lap for extra warmth on cooler days. The ladies inside were super friendly and welcome each and every person who comes in the door. Which will give you a bird's eye view to their scratch kitchen of goodness! I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants some delicious food. We will be back again

    A random, wonderful find! On the 2nd day of our last-minute, weekend getaway to Oracle, AZ, we…read moreended up here. I'm not sure how many restaurants are nearby but since we knew the Oracle Patio Cafe was closed, we had to find something else! Side note, you can zip line here...not at the restaurant but attached or next to it. Seems like there is also a camp ground and hiking and off-roading all nearby or a part of the land...basically, what I'm trying to say is this seems like an all-in-one outdoor adventure spot that I'm sure I'm not explaining well, and a lot of people already come here for. Now, for the restaurant: they have a very simple menu and some specials. You pick up a menu/order form, mark off what you want, write your name, and bring it to the cashier. You pay, get a buzzer, and then wait. They have a few family style tables inside, as well as some novelty shopping. They have a ton more seating outside. I got their signature Adventure Burger which means the chef makes the burger and you're surprised. I LOVED this! My burger had avocado, grilled mushrooms, cheese, sauce, etc. I'm not even sure everything exactly, but it doesn't matter because it was delicious! Their fries were also really tasty! My daughter got their chicken fingers which had the best, seasoned skin on it. Lastly, right outside the restaurant they have "panning for gold" - FREE! My daughter was so excited to do this and even more elated when she found "REAL" gold ;) I really appreciated that they offered this and for free. It seems rare these days you stumble upon things like this.

    Found out about this place by accident but figured why not. We made the drive up here from Oro…read moreValley, beautiful drive but further out then we expected but it was worth the drive. When you walk in it's a bit different as it's really about the zipline adventure with a burger on the side. You order off of the paper menus that list everything they offer. We got a burger to split with all the usual things LTPO. It was a hand formed burger, not pre made, and was cooked perfectly, well seasoned and just great. And of you feel froggy you can even pan for gold outside the building. All in all it was a good place and I'm glad we took the time to drive up here. it won't be our last.
