    Eggs Benedict with sausage, jalapeño bacon, prosciutto, mixed greens and avocado

    First time here! Food was amazing! Service is great! Be prepared for a lot of food which is great! Their Gf and vegan menu is great!

    Menu
    Garret F.

    Very low key, relaxed vibe off a busy street. Service reflects this as the staff chatted while I waited to be seated in a 25% full dining room. They were nice but I knew they knew I stood there a few minutes before they greeted me. At least they were pleasant. Just zero sense of urgency. Food is generous in portions but pretty standard. Canned corned beef.... I didn't feel rushed and probably couldn't even if I tried. It was good, just not sure I'd go back. Not MY vibe.

    Pancake

    Toasted Owl Cafe is a breakfast and brunch place that specializes in items such as salads, vegan options, pancakes, omelettes, Mexican options, burgers, sandwiches, and more. I tried out a prosciutto & brie omelette and paid $3.50 extra to replace the toast with one huge pancake. At the time of this writing, this chain of restaurants is partnered with the InKind app which can get you 20%-35% discounts. My food cost me $20ish which includes the tax, discount, and tip. My favorite part of the meal was the pancake. I also really love the atmosphere as they have a veritable plethora of different owl paintings and decorations.

    Avocado toast with fried egg and potatoes

    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.

    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
    Marissa K.

    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!

    Blueberry pancakes
    Jesse J.

    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.

    Side wall

    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.

    I was really excited to try this place for my birthday today . We sat down to eat wait for 10 minutes and in that time the "manager" passed us 3 times not once asking if we want a drink or check on us. I spoke with the manager who didn't really have anything to say maybe she felt we didn't fit in to cafe. Really disappointed as I wanted this place to be a good experience.

    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)!

    I was honestly pretty bummed when salad and go closed, but after trying angie's I think this is…read moreactually a huge upgrade. There are way more options and it's still really easy to get something healthy without spending a ton. I got the Chicken Protein Bowl XL with brown rice, avocado, sweet potatoes, pepperoncinis, a hard boiled egg and extra chicken. The portions were really good, especially for the price. You can't really tell from the picture, but there was an insane amount of chicken buried underneath the rice. I kept thinking I was almost done with the chicken and then finding more underneath which was definitely a nice surprise. Everything in the bowl tasted fresh and the chicken was probably my favorite part. I also liked how customizable everything was. There are enough different proteins and toppings that you could come here pretty often without having to get the same thing every time. I've also tried the lobster rolls here in the past. I thought those were pretty average, but definitely not bad considering the price. I'd probably stick with the bowls going forward though. I'm really happy to have another healthy fast food option around here, good portions, lots of protein, plenty of choices and the prices are actually reasonable.

    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.

I added hot salsa which really added to the flavor! Complimentary chips and salsas are very good. They serve 3 salsa types (1 mild, 2 hot), and i liked them all. For my on the rocks flight I chose prickly pear, guava and passionfruit. I love prickly pear but this one didn't shine like my other 2 choices. Still tasty tho.

We decided today we wanted to try the wraps for the first time. My husband ordered the fajita wrap and Decided he wanted steak so there was a $1.25 uplift for that. He said it was tasty, but some of the steak pieces were a bit chewy. He loved the heat level and it was chock full of fajita type veggies I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and I enjoy the hot sauce and blue cheese mix of dressing. I only have one complaint and that is I had opted out of carrots and they gave me a choice to add something else so I said tomatoes and they basically put whole cherry tomatoes in my wrap, which were kind of impossible to eat . Those really need to be sliced up or use a different kind of tomato, but I'll not make that mistake again!

I wasn't feeling blue cheese, but I kept quiet to avoid confrontation, plus it seems the salads are pre-made that way. Other than that, this place was quick and the drive-thru was efficient and convenient for me. The salads here are always on point and today's Cobb was no exception. I also like their flavored lemonades, but resisted temptation today, lol.

What really stood out to us, though, was the staff. Everyone has been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Any questions we had about the drinks, they were more than happy to answer. We also asked if we could come in during the day to do a small birthday photoshoot, and they were completely accommodating. They even helped us out with a drink to use as a prop for some of the photos, which was so sweet and really appreciated.
