RUN to this cafe. The food? 10/10. Service? 10/10. It's the cutest little cafe with an amazing menu, I've tried a few different things and I have yet to be disappointed. Their Thai Tea is delicious, pancakes are fluffy and sweet, their fiesta hash was a breakfast heaven. It's a must try for sure! read more

Service was phenomenal, food came out super quick and the food was a 10/10 I had the breakfast croissant, and it was amazing. The only thing I have to say is I ordered the Nutella and strawberry crepes and I was super excited for them but then when I tried them i realized they didn't use real Nutella the chocolate tasted like chocolate syrup to me but I could tell it wasn't real Nutella. I was kinda disappointed because I really wanted these crepes lol doesn't help I'm also pregnant read more

Amazing food and friendly service! 8 of us went here for my son's birthday, and everyone's food was great! We tried the chorizo crepe, the southwest crepe, the veggie breakfast crepe, the strawberries and cream French toast, the loaded hash plate, and a plain Belgium waffle. I would recommend all of them! They have a big menu with lots of amazing sounding choices. I can't wait to come back, so we can try more! read more

My husband and I recently got back from a week-long trip to Seattle and flew out of Phoenix airport. Unfortunately, we ran into car battery trouble, so we called our insurance road side assistance and got a jump start but was told to keep the car running. We decided to order take out from here and sat in our car to eat it -- everything was delicious! Couldn't stop raving to my husband about my crepe. I got a customized savory crepe with eggs, ham, spinach, mushrooms, onion and my husband had a yummy Mexican torte. Friendly service as well, though restrooms could use some cleaning. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in Phoenix! read more

All good Yelpers know to check in before ordering. I failed and missed the free Belgian waffle. Oh well. Guess I'll have to come back. Family owned and operated for 7 years. Husband and wife team are killing it. Greeted and sat immediately. Owner was so friendly, he makes you feel like family. They offer both savory and sweet crepes! Which are always my favorite. But they let you mix and match it up like you want to. So, if you want a plain crepe or chocolate crepe, it's up to you. I'm going to have to come back try everything at least once. 444 reviews and it's still 4.5 stars. Not sure why it doesn't pop up as a suggestion for me, but I'm on a mission to find more of these restaurants. Love the Ma and Pops. Everything was perfect. So happy we found this place. read more

Egg Benedicts are my go to order at just about every breakfast place I go. This was by far my favorite. The porky Benedict was amazing! Everything was cooked perfectly and had lots of flavor, hashbrowns were perfectly crispy. Meal couldn't have been any better. Will be back very soon! read more

Using door dash for a restaurant is tough you don't know if food was sitting waiting for driver but this was still pretty warm. Pancakes were fluffy and light. Eggs and bacon were ordinary. All in all pretty good experience read more

This place is the best!!! My friend took me here.. service was incredible, food was delicious!!!

Stopped in for a quick lunch with my brother. The spot is easy to find and welcoming. I was kind of confused at first if I order at the register or sit down. They have menus up front and you order/pay at the counter and find a table and wait patiently. We ordered a banana walnut waffle, chorizo burrito, grilled club sandwich and an iced latte. The prices are fair and the order took about 10-15 minutes to come out which is normal. The Belgian waffle was so fluffy and topped with fresh sliced bananas, whip cream and walnuts. The chicken club sandwich had plenty of meat and stacked nicely with spinach. I would've liked some lettuce in it as well as the spinach but was still good. The chorizo burrito wasn't spicy but it was big and served with hash browns . My brother enjoyed it. The iced latte was so good as well. Overall, a cute little cafe to grab a nice meal and coffee from! read more

A true neighborhood gem! Don't miss trying this place. It is located a few doors down from Food City. Great service. The owners say hello when you arrive and good bye when you leave. They go out of their way to show you they appreciate your business and want to make sure you enjoy your visit. I have been here a few times since finding this place and everything thing I have ordered has been terrific. I highly recommend Sweet Desert Cafe. read more

I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. I don't know where to start other than it's run be a guy and wife and there is no other location anywhere in the world and that makes it cool and unique. I would highly recommend! read more

I really, REALLY wanted to like this place. I always want to support a local business. We went for the waffles, and the waffle was good. However, the pancakes were extremely rubbery. The eggs tasted like they were cooked in oil that had recently cooked Chinese food. The bacon was OK, but somehow burned without being crispy. Parking is good. The other issue is that we were the only two people in the entire restaurant and it took them quite some time to come to our table. In fact, we had to call attention. I may try this again, because I really want it to get some attention and I would like to help a local business thrive. But unfortunately, it just wasn't that good. read more

Yummy little spot. It's farther from my apartment but it was half way in between for my gal pal and I to meet up for brunch. They got my order on point. I devoured it all, even thinking I'd have leftovers. No crumbs. I got the Strawberry Waffle without condensed milk and the Eggs Benedict. The egg was perfectly poached. The hollandaise sauce was tasty and the english muffin was also done well - not too crunchy, nice and soft with a little toasted edge. I had hashbrowns too - so good. Our waiter (possibly the owner or manager) was super nice. We like trying new places so it was great that this place was a win. read more

Talk about hospitality, Great food, ambience, and owner inspired recipes to die for, this place is tucked in the corner next to food city at baseline and hardy. You have to try their Philly cheesesteak hash and they're incredible tuna melt! Happy eating! read more

This place has been good so far, we have been twice. The customer service is great which has been provided by the same man whom I believe may be the owner. Giving a 4 star only because the long wait times depending on when you go due to staffing shortages. We waited almost 45 min for 2 stacks of pancakes, a waffle and a poached egg breakfast. You walk in and seat yourself and you wait until someone can get to you. We keep coming back bc they are really nice people running the place and again the food is good. We got the churro heaven la cakes and churro Heaven waffle, the wild-berry pancakes and the California Benny. They do bring the food out as it's ready, so you could get your plate and be waiting on others in your party to get your food. There are some kinks to be ironed out but that what comes with business ownership. read more

Wow! What a hidden gem! At least hidden from me because I've lived in walking distance for a year & had no idea they were here. Very cute & clean cafe. I loved the self service coffee station. I got to refill my coffee when I started getting low, multiple times and didn't have to wait for my server to do it. What a great idea! The server was nice, attentive and welcoming. The food hit the spot, I love the crispy hash browns. I'll be back to this spot very soon! read more

Sweet Desert Cafe - Banana Nutella Waffles & The American Breakfast - Cafes Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This is my third time here and though the food is good, there is a lack of consistency when bringing out food. For example: A table of four next to us had five trips of bringing out their food with several minutes between each time and I could tell they were irritated as I would be. Maybe the owners need to find a way to either ask the patron(s) if that's alright or if they'd like things held and brought at once. Just an idea... As far as the food, it is pretty good. I'm not that adventurous but I do like the turkey bacon option. I order sides of bacon, eggs and English muffin and put together a couple open faced sandwiches. A touch of maple syrup for the finish. Tasty. My friend had the monte cristo crepe and it was really good too. The owners seem really friendly and accommodating but as I said, I think better organization will help. read more

My friend and I came on a Sunday afternoon, just a little before 3 (an hour before they close). We were immediately greeted and instructed to sit wherever we felt comfortable, and to come up and order when ready. We were the only ones dining in, except for a couple that came in a little later. The owner's sons(?) were playing on their iPads/phones at a loud volume, although we did not mind. As we were the only ones dining in, we overheard the owners briefly started arguing about the new way to make smoothies..awkward and tense. The owner taking orders was not wearing a mask (and she later brought me my food). The card machine did not work at first and the owner had to restart it. Not a big deal except they started on my order first and my friend's order came out a few minutes later because the machine had been down. I opted on the dulce de Leche French toast combo, and the sweet ice coffee. They were served on a white plastic plate that felt surprisingly light (and cheap). The French toast hit the spot, and the coffee was just the right amount of sweet. Overall I would recommend Sweet Desert Cafe, and I will be coming back. read more
