    EGGS BENEDICT
    Steven G.

    A cozy diner with some charm but lacks in both ambiance and food. The eggs Benedict I ordered had poached eggs that were overcooked and were soft boiled. I didn't get that gooey yolk running over the prosciutto that I'd expect in a Benedict dish. The side of potatoes were crispy but should come with a sodium warning as they were extremely over salted.

    Owl Knick knacks

    I was excited to check out this new breakfast spot. It was a Sunday morning so it was busy. Luckily they have a reservation texting system. The waiter told us it would be about 30 minutes but it was more like 45 minutes until we were finally seated. It wasn't a big deal because we went to Target and the Dollar Store while waiting. Finally we got the text that our table is ready. After we are seated we had to wait about 10 minutes before the waitress finally came over. She was very apologetic and acknowledged that they were slammed because two servers had called out so it was even more busy for them. We understood and proceed to order. The decor is very cute with an owl theme -- my only ick moment was wondering how do they clean and dust all of that knick-knackery, I guess it is new enough at this moment but I can't imagine having to dust all of those owls, LOL. The menu only shows that they have a full bar in very small section of the menu so I immediately inquired if they had a bloody mary and yes indeed they did! We ordered these poste haste as well as the remainder of our breakfast, the "Big Fat French Toast", "Sweet Owl Cakes (basically pancakes), side of potatoes and a side of vegan bacon, plus (thank god) 100% maple syrup. My mom and I were splitting this breakfast. The bloodies arrived and they were average -- even though we ordered spicy they were not so we added pepper, Tapiato and some salt which improved the taste slightly. Thankfully the food didn't take too long to come out, it seemed quicker than when we waited for the server in the beginning so that was good. Unfortunately that was the extent of the good review. The pancakes were tasteless -- it really only tasted like the syrup -- I still ate them because I was hungry. They were a 4/10 on the pancake scale. The bread on the french toast was incredibly hard, stale and wasn't fully cooked all the way through -- pieces of it were practically inedible. I looked back at the menu and it was supposed to be brioche bread but it was very dark -- I have never seen brioche that dark before. It was not good. The french toast also came with bacon that was burnt and very very greasy -- I don't eat bacon but my mom tried it and gave me the review. The side potatoes were average and the vegan bacon was basically tempeh that was barely cooked. There were no spices on it or anything -- when I make vegan bacon I sauté it in soy sauce and other spices -- this was basically nearly raw tempeh -- yuk. Unfortunately due to all of the factors I don't think I would try this spot again.

    Growing pains are normal. Yesterday was day 1! Excited to have the chance to check out a new location since the OG Flag location is amazing. Timing was slow, again... day 1. The servers were amazingly kind and apologetic. I had the veg tamales. Temperature was good, flavors were spot on. There were 4 of us and the food came out at various times but nothing crazy. Our table also had a bloody and michelada, both were good. (The bloody was strong! Aka good.) I love the grandma's house weird decor and owls. Super fun, just like the original. I'm excited to give them a few months and come back. It's a great area and I'm sure they will work out the kinks!

    Decided to go to this place and participate in the $6.02 mimosas for 6/02/2026. Ordered the delicious veggie scramble. I really love their potatoes! Service was excellent and friendly!

    I was super stoked for this place to open since I love breakfast places and they're a small business. I waited a few weeks after they opened to make sure they were settled before visiting. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by a few things. Firstly, my friend and I's service wasn't too great. We went around 8 in the morning and there was barely any people, I'd say about 7-8 tables tops and half already had their food or had ordered. I think there were 3 servers working, 2 girls and a guy. I don't know our servers name because she didn't introduce herself. Anyway, when we sat down we were greeted but it was more of a "can I get you anything to drink" and not a formal greeting. I'm speaking from someone who works at a breakfast places, first impressions matter! Unfortunately, we weren't checked up on as much as the other tables she served, our orders got thrown away (and we had waited 20 minutes before finding this out), and my pancake had been forgotten in the second order until I brought it up halfway through breakfast. I don't want to come down on this server, I don't know her personal life, but knowing it wasn't busy and seeing others get serviced was disheartening. As for the environment, I think the decor was amazing and I'm a huge fan of being able to buy everything I see. It was immersive to their theme. One thing I also wasn't a fan of was their selection of sauces, or more, lack of. I do typically attend higher end diners, so I'm not gonna rag on their selections too long. It would be nice to see some thought put into their sauces instead of their only spicy one being cholula ranch, cholula or tobasco. I can have that at home. What I mean is, I come to these small businesses to be wowed by their creativity and effort, and I'm not wowed by their sauces. As for the food, the best part of this place. I ordered their vegetarian tamales and they are to DIE for. Packed with veggies, the maza outside was amazing and my poached eggs were lovely. Only note, the beans were too hard and not seasoned enough. That can be adjusted, I'm sure. The pancake I got (huge, as you can see) was delicious! I love when pancakes are so good they don't need syrup. Though, that brings me to another issue. I am an avid hater of corn-syrup syrup, and it was apparent from my friend's meal and reaction that's what we were served. He said it was bland and generic, better unused than used. That's saddening, since pancakes are my favorite thing to try at diners. Hopefully this gets upgraded in the future. Their limitless black coffee was pretty generic too and watery. I'm sure this quality can be upgraded. Overall, it was not the best first impression of the place, but the food was good enough I'd give them a second chance for it. It would be a few months from now once more of their issues have been identified and resolved.

    Ever since the Oink Cafe closed, I have been intrigued and interested in what would be opening in the space. When I heard that the Toasted Owl Cafe would be coming, I have been excited as I have heard good things about the Toasted Owl Cafes about their two Flagstaff locations and their Camelback location. As someone who lives near their Tatum and Cactus location, I can see myself as a regular in the future. The experience was good even though there are a few things that I'm sure that the staff are working on improving as today was literally their first day open. I went with my father and my sister for brunch today, and we were impressed by the ambiance and the decorations. There was no wait on their first day even though the place was quite busy. There are no reservations as they only accept customers on a first come, first serve basis. My father ordered a coffee and the Egg Breakfast consisting of 2 strips of bacon (or sausage), 2 scrambled eggs (or eggs any style), breakfast potatoes, and toast. My sister and I both ordered an order of Build-a-Breakfast Tacos which each included four corn tortillas with 2 fillings of our choice, scrambled eggs, cheddar, breakfast potatoes, and homemade salsa side. I ordered corned beef as both of my fillings while my sister chose no cheddar and instead three fillings of her choice. I really enjoyed my meal and was delighted when I learned that the salsa wasn't too hot. My father noted that his eggs were not warm though that was probably because they held all dishes so that they could come out together. There was also quite a wait for the meals. At the same point, this was their first day, so I could only imagine this improving over the next so many days. My sister was also charged for an extra side, but that was resolved when noting it to our server. The Toasted Owl has been around since 2013. Check out their website at https://www.thetoastedowl.com to see the regular and vegan menus, online ordering, locations and contacts, news, franchising information, community outreach, their story, and more. They have a dog friendly patio that is closed during the winter season though people were already eating on the patio. They sell Toasted Owl collectables including puzzles, stuffed animals, and so much more. This location is open from 7 AM to 3 PM daily. They have daily specials for mimosas and Bloody Mary's. If you go the website and have InKind, you can enter your e-mail for a coupon worth $20 off an order of $60+ being paid with InKind. Again, while there are things that could have been improved, I still enjoyed my experience and would recommend to anyone to give them a try. The staff were delightful and the menu items are healthy and creative. They also gave us a 20% off coupon good for a return visit through March 2026. I plan on returning again soon!

    I have been to the other Phoenix toasted owl location a couple times but hadn't been in a while and wanted to check out the PV location! First off, great spot. Right near target so perfect if you have to do post brunch shopping haha. The entrance confused us a little bit but we figured it out, there was plenty of parking too. Ambiance is absolutely adorable here, you can buy the vintage decor and stuff they have! And service is speedy! They have a good variety on their menu and a dedicated vegan portion. My husband and I started off with coffee and a cinnamon roll. I got my coffee iced, I do wish they had simple syrup or something but the flavored creamer was fine! The cinnamon roll was ok, the outer edges were kinda hard and not particularly warm and gooey. It was fine, just nothing special. Other visits I've had the avocado toast so this time I got the chilaquiles with avocado instead of meat and eggs. They do a vegan version too but I don't really like vegan meat/eggs typically. They were yummy but could've used a bit more cheese or a side of beans or something! My husband got bacon, eggs, potatoes, and toast. He doesn't really like that style of potatoes but I do so he shared with me! Our son tried a little bit or everything and seemed to like it! He was very excited about the owl decor as well haha. Not outrageously expensive compared to other nearby spots, worth checking out!

    Chilaquiles
    Brian S.

    First timers we had a party of five seated quickly maybe six people in the restaurant. I ordered the chilaquiles with 2 eggs over easy on top. Sorry to say my order wasn't that good. The chilaquiles were very cold as well the eggs. On the other hand, everyone else's food was good! So 4 out of 5 stars

    This location is new here- really nostalgic and fun interior! Great service but two of the three dishes we ordered was wrong. Glad they had vegan options!! We will try this one again in the future when they have the kinks worked out.

It's called…read more"Mother Earth" and is one of their unique bowls with just the right variety of sweet, salty, tangy, and earthy flavors and textures from crunchy and chewy to creamy. There were ancient grains: quinoa, farro, and barley, and roasted sweet potatoes, portobello mushrooms, avocado, cucumber and greens, and pesto and hemp seed topping. A side of grilled tofu made for a tasty protein accompaniment, I enjoyed the complimentary infused with citrus water which refreshed me as did looking at their cheery lemon decorated wall. Ordering was easy at the counter and pleasant staff explained everything I had a question about and delivered my bowl to the table with cheeriness. My only suggestion would be that a small piece of special bread should be part of a salad or soup if requested as that would round out the meal.

The sides used to fill the bowl, but now there was nearly an inch of empty space around each side serving on a small bowl of an entree order. For what I paid, it was pretty shocking. The customer service was incredibly uncomfortable. The cashier acted like I was bothering him just by ordering, and barely acknowledged me. I would have been happy to tip, but I'm not going to lie, it crossed my mind that maybe the tiny portions were punishment for not tipping which obviously shouldn't be the case, but that's how the interaction left me feeling. What made it even stranger was that when the restaurant was slow, all of the employees were huddled behind one register chatting amongst themselves. I stood there waiting while they finished their conversation, and when they finally helped me, there was barely a smile or any friendly interaction. As a customer, it felt like I was inconveniencing them by being there. I spent $25 for one plate and a drink and left hungry and in a bad mood. I've enjoyed Flower Child in the past, but between the significantly smaller portions and the poor customer service, I don't think I'll be back. Only giving two stars vs one because the food is amazing!!! Just not enough with a bad attitude. Hope it gets better.

First, I have to give a huge shoutout to Teanna for the outstanding customer service! She was incredibly patient and walked me through all the different options, while also explaining exactly what açaí is and how 3Natives incorporates it into both their smoothies and açaí bowls. She made the whole experience so welcoming and easy, especially for a first-timer like me! I ended up getting both a smoothie and an açaí bowl because I was eager to try everything and wow, I was impressed by both! The smoothie was definitely on the sweeter side, but the açaí bowl was absolutely perfect. I don't have many other açaí bowls to compare it to, but I really enjoyed the balance of flavors and textures. The granola added such a lovely crunch, and you could tell the fruit was super fresh. Needless to say, my first açaí bowl experience was a success!

Always greeted with a friendly smile and never rushed. The lobby is inviting with ample seating for you, your friends, or family. Music is on but minimal so there's no screaming required. Let's talk food. I honestly get one thing every time. The PB and A açai bowl. It's full of: açai, homemade granola (that in itself is a winner!), natural peanut butter, sliced banana, and, diced strawberries. A perfect refreshing blend. Other's açai taste off. Indescribable. But here, it's fresh and delicious. I come here at least once a month after my massage for a perfect spa day treat. Or a healthier dessert option with the family. Kids love it!

We had 6:30 reservations and were seated promptly, but because the restaurant itself is more on the smaller side, we were between two different tables, and it was extremely hard to hear each other with how close the tables were.

The wait staff were awesome and the service was great; we were not overly impressed with the food (no substitutions for certain items based on allergies so be aware). We had the bacon wrapped dates (good), Cesar salad (fresh but had a very tangy lemon flavor) and the beef bolognese ( we really wanted to like this, and the sauce that itself was good, but as the noodles were very al dente and more of a protein wheat based pasta flavor). We are glad we tried it (thanks Mrazsports!) but would not make it a rotational restaurant.

    Pastrami is a fat delivery system. That is the entire point of the cut, the cure, the smoke, and…read morethe steam. Whoever built this sandwich decided fat was a liability, trimmed the brisket down to something you'd find in a hospital cafeteria, and then served it anyway. What arrived was a stack of lean, gray-edged slices with no give and no moisture whatsoever. You could hear it more than taste it. Chewing produced no juice, no render, nothing. It just sat there getting smaller. I am not exaggerating when I say you would need a glass of water on the table to dunk it in, and even then I'm not confident it would go down. Then the rye. Somebody griddled it in butter, which coats the crumb in dairy and flattens the caraway into nothing. Rye for pastrami gets a light toast at most, and that's if it needs anything at all. Butter turns it into a grilled cheese chassis with the cheese removed. On a pastrami sandwich it's a category error. My people spent two thousand years perfecting this sandwich. Somebody in that kitchen reverse-engineered it back into jerky on a sponge. There are delis in New York that would treat this as a personal provocation. I've eaten the correct version of this sandwich. It comes carved by hand, on untoasted rye, with enough fat to shorten a life. That's the deal. You give up a few years and you get something worth eating. What this place serves takes the years and gives nothing back. Two dollars less and it's a bad lunch. At this price it's contempt. The coleslaw does not save it. One star, and that's for the plate.
