    Biscuits & Gravy w/ Jalapeño bacon

    The portions here were amazing, for the price you definitely get enough foods worth! The staff was friendly and interacted with us just enough which I always love. The place was pretty quiet on a Sunday afternoon which was surprising. Love the bookstore next door!

    Avocado toast with fried egg and potatoes
    Stephanie J.

    Great selection of vegan and vegetarian options. The avocado toast was good, but nothing spectacular. The breakfast potatoes were great. I came in on a Wednesday morning and was the only customer but still felt rushed. I do want to preference that I'm not from Arizona so maybe this is typical for service standards but I wasn't told of any specials or given any recommendations. Pretty much just handed a menu and given two minutes to decide what to order. The actual establishment is super cute and all the owl decorations are adorable. I do want to go back and give it another try. The mushroom omelette sounds great.

    I've been a regular at this cute restaurant for many years, predominantly for brunch, and never had a bad experience. The food is always perfect, and I love that there are many vegetarian options. Love the owl theme and all the trinkets everywhere. Service is consistently good. It's a very cute place, and I always hop over to Changing Hands Bookstore after eating to browse around. Always plenty of parking available.

    Service was great -- super friendly. The space is also really nice, and the attached bookstore was a fun bonus to browse while we waited. Food was just okay. It came out pretty fast, which was nice, but it felt a little rushed. I got the avocado toast and was expecting something crispy and toasty... but it was basically avocado on soft, untoasted bread. My partner's egg breakfast came with an English muffin that also wasn't toasted. Nothing terrible, just a little underwhelming on the toast front. Great vibes and service though!

    Went today for breakfast. Quickly seated and got great service. The food was very tasty. I could've easily just had one pancake. They are super filling and perfectly cooked. Would totally go back again for breakfast

    I met with some friends for brunch before work and we had to try this spot out! This has been on my list to visit for a long time and it did not disappoint! The service was quick and the food was delicious. There was plenty of food for this bowl as well, it was quite filling. The potatoes and veggies were magnificent. There were so many owls, you can buy any one of them! I debated on buying a snowy owl from this place, I may just have to go back and buy one. I highly recommend coming here and eating at this warm & cozy restaurant spot!

    Really enjoyed this breakfast a lot. The staff was so friendly and gave us our food so quickly. I ordered a two egg breakfast and it was yummy. The eggs were a bit overcooked but it was still good. The cinnamon roll is a must. We shared one at our table and it was so good! They also do. Free birthday cinnamon roll. They also have bathrooms and lots of seating. I loved how everything was purchasable in the restaurant room from chairs to plates.

    Tried for the first time and was delicious, but for a regular breakfast-not sure you can mess it up. 2 eggs scrambled well, 2 sausage (little burnt), home fries and English muffin. I had coffee( smooth and got a to go cup for the ride home). Ended up buying a coffee mug just cause. $33+tip. Nice decor, owls everywhere, music in the background and service was great.

    Family raved about this café in Tucson so I was delighted to see one in Phoenix close to favorite shops (Dollar Tree and Target!). The décor is interesting. Obviously, owls are prominent in their decorating scheme but everything (including the overhead lights) has a price tag on it. It's a very colorful, noisy, casual atmosphere. We got the best of both worlds on a mild Saturday morning when we were seated right next to the patio in a wide doorway that kept the shade on us but let us enjoy the fresh air. The menu has a wide variety of breakfast /lunch items that appear to take most dietary restrictions into consideration. I had a really tasty beet salad that combined beets, blueberries, cherries and goat cheese over some fresh greens. My guest had the fried chicken sandwich and some of her French Fries. I accidentally ate some of them. Service was friendly, the food came out quickly and we enjoyed the environment. I felt it was a good value for the price.

    I had been to the Flag location several years ago and was super excited to have a location a bit closer to tucson! While in phx for a late sunday concert- we absolutely needed yummy body fuel the next morning! My gal pal is vegan so this was a no-brainer pick for us since they have a dedicated vegan menu! As a non-veg I still ordered the vegan chorizo burrito because it is THAT good! Packed with veggies (carrots, Brussels, zucchini, and more), just egg, soyrizo, and perfectly seasoned potatoes into a vegan tortilla! AMAZING! Staff were super chill - as seems to be the toasted owl way- and of course the entire place is decked to the teeth with adorable owlish ephemera and collectables (all for sale even)!

    Locally owned cafe serving an American menu for breakfast and lunch, with vegan options located in The Newton. Ham N Cheese Omelette (3 eggs, ham & white cheeder) served with potatoes and your choice of bread, I got the sourdough. Service was friendly and fast. The place was clean, a lot of seating, and owl are everywhere (super cute).

Food is delivered fast, within about 5-10 minutes after ordering at the counter. Staff here is friendly, patient and helpful when someone who can't decide between all of the options is in front of them. :) I ordered "the rebel" French dip and loved every bite of it. I especially loved the little side salad that came with it that I wasn't expecting. The French dip itself was savory, tender, flavorful and the horseradish added the perfect "kick" to the wrap. I'd definitely order it again but there were also so many other things that I'd try on the menu! I'll stop back every time I'm in Arizona because it's worth the trip to try everything that looks so yummy!

Naturals tones with pops of green make this a delightful place to meet up with your friends. I had the tuna poke bowl. The flavors were super bright and hit all the classic notes of poke. I thoroughly enjoyed the passion fruit black tea, unsweetened of course. I'm not one for overly flavored drinks but they crushed it. I went back for seconds. I'm actually sad I found this on the last day in town, not my first.

    My daughter has been raving about this place so I thought I would give it a shot and googled if…read morethere was an Angie's near where I was going to be and lo and behold, there was not too far away at 1st Ave/Thomas. That location is close to a place I go to frequently, so this is another option for me if I should need some food and don't want to do Salad & Go, but want something healthy. I got an Asian Grilled Burrito with Wild Salmon. Was driving so a bowl I could not do. I could barely eat the burrito driving because it's sort of flat and had rice. It was very yummy. Something I learned was Angie's does not have straws and if you order a Refresher, they give you a packet of something to put in the cup. You have to figure out how to make the Refresher, which I saw at the soda fountain dispenser there was sparkling water, so I did that and some Vanilla Torino's. I went about 11 am, and the Torino's were nearly gone and the little table that it was on was fairly unclean. The area to order, where you pickup the order, the soda area, and the metal table by the soda area were all really close and crowded. Since this was my first time there, I didn't even understand that you had to order at some kiosk. They had one by the pickup area and 2 more on the east wall. Felt overwhelming for me. I did not see what the dining area looked like. My burrito was $11-12 and the Refresher was $2. My daughter said their prices were much better than Salad and Go and other places, but I found my meal similar. Oh, I guess the getting wild salmon was the costly thing. Had I gotten chicken, it would've been much less. My daughter said she's never had their burritos, only their salads. A lady that had ordered many times there did help me with some things I didn't understand and she said she loves their food. Turns out the owner of Angie's named the places after his mom who passed away about 5 yrs ago. He also started Salad and Go and this is upscale from Salad and Go. I'm glad this is an option. But maybe they can keep prices good is to cut on the things that don't really matter as much and focus on the food. I'm good with that. The next time I go to an Angie's, I will be better prepared. There isn't one too close to me like there are lots of Salad and Go's, so I hope they open some in Gilbert, Mesa, and Scottsdale. Oh, parking is not that great at this location. You basically need to be heading east on Thomas before 1st Ave as there are a few parking spots on the diagonal. Don't park in the First Watch parking lot. If you're coming west on Thomas, make a u-turn after you pass 1st Ave.

    UPDATE - Taco Guild is truly a GEM!…read more The bartending technique here is better than most upscale steakhouses in Phoenix. The cocktails are not cheap, but they are worth the price especially on HH. The ice cubes are crystal clear and they have a special shaped one for the highballs. I had the Mescal Manhattan and it was properly cooled and diluted before pouring on the beautiful cube. The balance was spot on for me. Our bartender was attentive and accurate with our orders. The complementary chips and salsas are next level. You get three salsas/sauces to sample on the thin and crispy chips. Don't freak out when you see the pricing on the tacos. They range from $7-10 but these are not little street tacos. One could be a meal especially paired with the chips and salsa. Two tacos were almost more than we could handle. The Chipotle Cherry Steak was tasty -albeit a bit sweet for my taste. My wife loved the Carnitas and my favorite was the California or the Shrimp. Just do it! You won't be disappointed if you like well executed cocktails and great Southwest flavors.

    Food was fine. I had no problem with that, although it came out in 5 minutes. So it makes me wonder…read morehow much of it was premade. They actually have delicious salsa. I especially liked the carrot salsa. The experience was kind of strange. I expected a Mexican style restaurant and it felt like I was inside of a renaissance cathedral, but with lame 90s pop music, and a couple of TVs above the bar to give off a sports bar feel. What really got me was when the server brought the check over and told us that we would actually have to pay for the side order of rice that she originally told us was complimentary. That is such a bad look, and it makes me feel like crap when I speak up and say that it isn't right to do that to customers. Also, restaurant need to stop showing the tip percentage amounts on the receipt with the sales sax already added in. Really? You want me to tip on the sales tax?
