I love this little breakfast place! Mom and pop place with consistent food that's fresh. I get an eggs Benedict with added avocado and crisp hash browns. Always good and great service! read more

Walked to here from hotel. Delicious sausage, eggs and traditional eggs Benedict. Loved the sitting outside option too!

The food hits the spot every single time. We get the quiche Lorraine with fruit and country breakfast. The staff is so nice and personable. Seating is limited due to a small restaurant but they also have bar seating. Highly recommend this breakfast spot to anyone! read more

Big pancakes, great coffee, exceptional cornedbeef hash, and wonderful staff. Chicago sports teams friendly with a dog friendly patio.

T.C. has changed ownership.versus about two years ago. Not nearly as good - food or service! Sorry to see that!

Great service and nice breakfast. Really liked the chorizo in the omelette. Had a very nice table on the patio. read more

Solid little breakfast and lunch cafe. Typical menu, was in and out and pleased with the quiche (with fruit and muffin) in just 15 minutes. Had a cappuccino to go in my personal mug. It was great. Definitely will be back the next time I am in Phoenix. read more

This is a cute little cafe with excellent food. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because when we were ready to leave, it took our server longer than needed to get us checked out. They were very busy at that time. read more

Loved having breakfast at the counter. Food was delicious, I had Eggs Benedict +avocado. Staff and owner were friendly and made it memorable. read more

Great place for breakfast. Staff was friendly and the food was good and well priced. All food was under 10$ and they make everything as you order so everything is warm and fresh. They also home make muffins that look amazing. I will definitely come back and would recommend read more

With its Chicago roots, this is a nice family owned and operated breakfast spot. It's tucked away in a nondescript strip mall, yet holds lots of charm and some great morning options. For seating, you can watch TV from the bar or pick from the handful of tables inside or out on the patio. When the weather gets nice, I love sitting outside with a fresh cup of coffee. Did I mention they have an espresso machine? Sometimes it can get busy, but I've never been turned away despite the quaint size. You can choose a traditional breakfast option (all of them are good) or go with a fancy selection from the whiteboard in the front. The eggs are cooked really well and the biscuits and gravy are always a smart choice. The food comes out fast and I'm never disappointed. I've never ordered lunch but my friends' dishes looked pretty tasty. The french fries are solid. read more

This is clearly a family-owned business, and I love supporting family-owned businesses, but... I was not that impressed. We saw Temptations Cafe on Yelp so decided to stop by for lunch. I had no idea that the restaurant was sports themed, and it honestly felt like a sports bar (minus the booze)! The walls were covered with sports memorabilia which I think is a little tacky, but what really irked me was the tv playing sports. The restaurant is way too small to have a large tv, and the volume was much too loud for a Sunday afternoon. There was only one other family eating when we were there, and they clearly weren't watching sports. Why is the tv on? Who is watching it? Please mute it, or put the volume on low. I ordered a grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. The menu says "add tomatoes for 50 cents" so I asked for tomatoes on my sandwich. I also asked for a side of hashbrowns because who doesn't love all day breakfast? My boyfriend got a breakfast plate with eggs, bacon and pancakes. Sadly our waitress forgot my hashbrowns, and she also forgot to add the tomatoes to my sandwich! Not a huge deal, but annoying since she obviously didn't write down my requests. The food was good and filled us up, but it was nothing spectacular. Definitely tasted like a home-cooked meal, and you can tell it was made with love. I will be back for breakfast at some point, but this won't be my go-to spot. I will sit outside next time to avoid the sports on tv. (I think the patio is dog friendly, so that's a plus!) One last note - our waitress was eating lunch behind the counter. The restaurant wasn't busy so it's not like she had anything else to do, but I found this unprofessional. 5 stars for being family-owned, 4 stars for the food, 3 stars for service (friendly but forgetful), 0 stars for decoration, 0 stars for the giant tv playing sports loudly. read more

I struggle to find what people like about this place. Food is mediocre, service is typically slow, prices are nothing special. It doesn't have a local/quaint atmosphere to help it along either. Everything about this place is completely shruggable. If there is no place left on your list to go, by all means eat here. But for me, I'll pass. read more

Expectations fully met and then some. My definition of 5 stars! Temptations Cafe just really great breakfast food, with super friendly service (owners mindset, come to think of it, that probably was one of the owners!). Nice menu with a bit of everything to cover the breakfast scene. Eggs, pancakes, oatmeal, espresso drinks, etc., etc. Most important, a nice patio with some shade that is dog friendly! Staff immediately brought us a nice cold bowl of water for our pup. Highly recommended for breakfast anytime of day. read more

Food was great and the ambience was nice, and the service was on point. Just wish the food portion matched the price. I had breakfast not lunch. Going back to try the lunch read more

This is a very simple neighborhood homely breakfast/lunch diner with a Chicago Theme with a Cheers kinda feel to it. The owner, Mylo, is a typical Chicagoian with all the Midwest swag. He's one big flirt I tell ya and is honestly lovable! My personal favorite on the menu is the BLT. I like to order my sandwich with a side of fries, but they have homemade chips or a side salad as an option for the sandwiches. One of my issues with this restaurant would be the fact that they also serve home fries, but you can't order a side of home fries with your sandwich. I've never been able to understand why. They always offer various specials, soup and dessert of the day. The coffee at Temptations is very good. One Saturday morning I stop through there and the owner suggests that I nab a cup of the coffee. It was very good. If you stop in here, you will really enjoy it. Look for the word, "Cafe" on the building and you'll be there. read more

My love and I like trying different and new breakfast places so we said why not? Our greeting was immediate and friendly, it was full but we got bar seats within minutes. Menu is basic but easy to order off of. We ordered a latte and an omelette with bacon, chorizo, cheddar and green bell peppers. The meal was tasty but would prefer the cheese and other ingredients to be cooked into the egg. But over all a great experience with friendly and welcoming atmosphere! read more

For those of you who grew up in the Midwest, I think you will enjoy this place. I grew up with old diners and places where the servers were scurrying around behind the counter and making fun of the customers, talking sports, and locals coming in and the cooks automatically seeing them and just start cooking their favorite meal. If you're looking for some sort of out-of-body breakfast experience, you won't find it here. This is old-fashioned breakfast cooking. No frills. With that said, they also aren't back there pouring eggs out of a carton either - no - they are back there cracking eggs just like you'd do at home. They are fast at getting you your food out too. In general the servers aren't going to chat you up a lot, but don't be surprised if when you walk in people at the bar do talk to you, especially if you are sitting at the bar. I'm guessing the owners are from the Chicago area and transplanted here. Lots of Chicago memorabilia on the walls that is peppered with Arizona gear here and there. So if you have a problem with the Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks, or any other Chicago sports team... this is clearly not the place for you. NOTE: Each time you check in you get a 10% coupon. read more

Tasty chicken fried steak, hashbrow s, perfectly cooked over medium eggs (that's tough to do!)... Husband's pancakes were great too! read more

Temptations Cafe - American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

A cute little cafe in south scottsdale that you probably drive by every day and never pay attention to. We stopped in after searching Yelp for breakfast, and were pleasantly surprised. The decor is cute and clean (not diner, but not chic...just comfy), the staff is friendly and the food is solid. The average age in the place is pretty high, probably considering it's next to an elderly residence center (what's the PC way to say that??). The menu is standard, so don't expect any surprises, but their specialty coffees are great. read more

This is a good spot that I nearby for a quick bite to eat. There is an ok amount of room and even some patio seating for the nice weather. The decor is kinda of all.ober the place but you can see it's a collections of favorites from picture to teams etc. Everyone was really nice and the service was pretty quick. They offer diner fare and all you would expect for that, so breakfast dishes in thier classic forms and lots of choices for sandwiches at lunch. Everything was good that came out. The fries were frozen fries but ok....nothing was really outside expectations so they are a reliable place to go grab some grub Solo or to catch up with a friend. read more

I love temptations. It is a small mom and pop restaurant and the interior is adorable their omelettes and BLT sandwich are phenomenal!!

What a quaint little place. I loved it! From their clean bathrooms to their great food! I'm happy to have found this place by accident. The chicken fried steak plate was delicious. My son had the children's French toast plate with bacon and egg and he said it was the best French Toast he'd ever had. I think I'm offended! I highly recommend this Cafe. We will definitely be back. read more

This is my breakfast joint. Yea it can get crowded and the service can get a little lost in the weeds but they are nice folks and they apologize. Just have another coffee & surf on your phone and before you know it a great breakfast will arrive. My hash special was indeed special with nice chunks of corned beef and my over easy eggs were cooked perfectly. Nice folks, great breakfast, oh and really good coffee. Be prepared to wait a bit on a Sunday AM.... read more

Slower service, mediocre food, rude owner and way overpriced. Also....Chicago sports themed

Love this place! The food is delicious and affordable and the service is unmatched. Always quick and super cheerful.

The food was very good as was the service. The place is no frills, but I would definitely go back to try some different dishes.

Nothing special. I work nearby so I thought why not give it a try. Small little café probably seven tables and a long bar top. All of the tables were occupied, so I thought this is a great sign and sat at the bar. Pleasant staff, ordered the chicken strawberry salad and my friend ordered the grilled cheese. It felt like it was a long time to get our food, not sure why. Overall unimpressed, maybe breakfast is better but I wont be back to try. read more

Cute little cafe that was busy when we got there at 11, but there were seats at the bar. I ordered the French toast with fresh strawberries and it was yummy. The employees were nice and kept apologizing for the wait and how busy they were, but we were fine. Checking in on Yelp got me 10% off which was an awesome surprise because I didn't notice that before. All in all, cozy spot for breakfast/brunch/lunch and great service. read more

Temptations Cafe - French toast with fresh strawberries - American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I've been coming here for breakfast for years and it's always great. Been here at least 20x and the staff is always welcoming and very friendly. Others have classified this as a mom and pop cafe, I concur. Prices are reasonable and portions are good. It's clean. Today I finally stopped in to try their lunch. I had the cheesesteak and was not disappointed. Everything came out hot, the steak was cooked just right and the grilled onions/mushrooms/peppers were perfect, adding layers of extra philly flavor. I added lettuce and tomato because I'm weird. This place heals, I walked in with a headache and it's practically gone as I'm walking out. read more

I just had brunch here. The cafe was much smaller than I anticipated. The prices were decent enough but I feel that I could have made the food myself. The coffee was served in a small-average sized mug but costs $2.75 which is more expensive than it should be. I also got a water with my coffee and the class was filthy *see photos*. The service was average and the food was okay. I would like to see this place with more than 2 customers in it. I'll consider giving it another try on a weekend. read more

I moved here about three years ago. I was looking for a great place for breakfast. I waited for almost 30 minutes for my order to arrive. When the waitress brought the food it was cold, it was bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast. The only thing warm was the toast. Don't spend your money here, if I want this food I would asked for it that way. I had to pay for the meal since I ordered it or go to jail. Not worth it !!! read more

Everyone in my party enjoyed their lunches very much. The menu was extensive and the staff was very helpful. I will definitely eat there again. read more

Found this place on yelp and gave it a try. Ordered the meat lovers omelette with hash browns extra crispy. The omelette was very flavorful and the hash browns were perfect! They even had pico available! The atmosphere is country and homey! Is Chicago atmosphere. The staff were friendly and even the other patrons were friendly! Can sit inside or patio outside. I highly recommend trying this place out. read more

Temptations Cafe - American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

It's a small homey restaurant at the end of a little strip mall. The service was great. The biggest problem I had was I got the Country Breakfast for lunch. I ordered it with two eggs sunny side up, country potatoes, sausage, biscuits and gravy. The eggs were perfect, but the country potatoes were shriveled up. I think there was some onions in there, but they were cooked to nothingness. The same with the sausage. It was crispy and dried out. It seemed like it was leftovers from breakfast and reheated again. read more

I went in for breakfast today. When I entered I was told to sit anywhere and we took a seat by the door. Sat there for 10 minutes while people that entered after us were given menus and drinks. Nobody ever came over to the table even after making eye contact. We decided to leave. Would definitely not be back. read more

I was hungry so I stopped here to enjoy breakfast. They did not disappoint. I had the full size biscuits and sausage gravy. First time I have ever had it in a bowl. It is a smart idea. Actually made it easier. They don't skimp on the gravy, I actually had left over. Thanks to yelpers I ordered the crispy hashbrowns. They were great. read more
