    It's a great morning for breakfast on the patio.
    Naomi G.

    This place is an absolute gem! Normally when we are up this way, it's outside of their operating hours but we got lucky enough today to catch them in the morning on a day they are open. The food is great and cooked from scratch. It's a small operation and retains that small town charm and hospitality. The portions are large and cost is very modest. They also have some amazing espresso/coffee. If you are in the area, I highly recommend stopping in for some delicious food!

    Great morning to sit outside.

    Best In St. John's! Cozy spot! Great Gyros! Most importantly are the awesome and delicious Gyros with pasta salad! Next for a hungry man sized appetite is the Mannwich Sandwich... Not to be confused with the hunk in a can, this is a handmade delicious sandwich that is guaranteed to fill you up! The Carrot Cake is surprisingly awesome, moist and delicious! Good coffee Smoothies Tasty baked goods Free wifi Friendly owners This is the best spot to sit and hangout with some wifi and sip some coffee around. Even a clean bathroom! They did a great job of restoring an abandoned St. John's bank and turning it into a modern landmark. Stop by and feed you inner animal!

    Village Cafe never disappoints

    This place is really amazing. We have eaten here twice when we have been in town. You can tell the place is a family run restaurant. They make real homemade food. We ordered the turkey avocado sandwich, the bbq sandwich, and a side salad. They have rotating specials on the board that look like they change everyday. We have had friendly service both times. When in St Johns this place is a must. Good food, served hot and made with care. Also the coffee was good too! Best coffee option in the town.

    I love this place. The service is great, Liza is a wonderful lady who remembers you and make you feel like a guest instead of a customer. The food is amazing and you get big portions. The coffee is the best I've tasted. It's located in a historic building in downtown that they have taken the time to beautifully restore. So if you're passing through St.Johns it's a must stop.

    Breakfast!!

    Amazing breakfast! Hope to visit again! Highly recommend it. Quaint downtown area. Everyone enjoyed it. Well priced and portions where huge!!

A little advice: if you are going for breakfast, arrive early--especially on a weekend. Darbi's gets busy! But whether you are waiting for breakfast or lunch, trust me, it is worth it. The portions are enormous, the food is excellent, and this team clearly knows how to serve a crowd. They have the whole operation dialed in. The restaurant itself is adorable, full of personality, and has the kind of lively, welcoming atmosphere that makes a meal feel like part of the vacation. For lunch, Dan ordered the Monte Cristo, served on a French toast bun with raspberry compote for dipping. It was sweet, savory, crispy, and absolutely delicious. We shared it, of course! I ordered the green chile cheeseburger, and it was packed with flavor. Breakfast was a whole adventure. We ordered one cinnamon roll to share, not realizing it was approximately the size of four normal cinnamon rolls! We both laughed, cut ourselves a slice, and immediately asked for a box. It was warm, ooey-gooey perfection, loaded with cinnamon and butter and covered in cream cheese frosting. Honestly, it may have been the best cinnamon roll I have ever eaten. As though that were not enough, we had also ordered a side of bacon--four generous slices--and full breakfasts. We both chose the prime rib Benedict, and it was incredible. The eggs were large and beautifully colored, the English muffin was tender, the sauce was just right, and the hash browns had that perfect crispy crunch. Needless to say, we did not finish everything at either meal. Darbi's definitely believes in leftovers! The prices were very reasonable, and the waitstaff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming during both visits. Between the huge portions, creative dishes, fun atmosphere, and outstanding food, Darbi's is a must for breakfast or lunch in Pinetop. Go hungry, arrive early, and save room in the car for your leftover boxes!

Smells of scratch cooking welcome you as you walk in with smiles and the usual knickknacks for purchase to commemorate your trip abound. Seated outside and received our drinks quickly from our buss boy. Waiter arrived and took our order as the menu is large but it's got the staples if you're a breakfast fan it doesn't take long to decide. My buddy went with an omelet hash browns extra crispy w/ pancakes and myself the sausage link with over medium eggs home fries and toast. Large portions force you to take food to make decisions, over indulge, leave it behind, or take it to go. Thankfully we elected to leave it behind though it was all extremely delicious! We were given our check with no rush to leave but the travel plans had just begun so it was perfect. On our way out we just missed a rush as there was a line out the door so our 9:30am arrival was fortunate and awesome though we had no idea it would be. Definitely worth a morning breakfast if you're in this area!

    We had breakfast at the Lovely Bear Cafe, a charming new restaurant in Lakeside near Pinetop, and…read moreit was such a fun little find! The café is small, quaint, spotless, and filled with playful bear décor that gives the whole place a warm, cheerful personality. It has the cozy feel of an old-fashioned country diner--the kind of place where you can settle in with a hot cup of coffee and enjoy a hearty, homemade breakfast. And let's talk about the food and those portions--OH MY! I ordered three eggs, bacon, hash browns, and homemade biscuits and gravy. Everything was cooked to order, arrived surprisingly fast, and tasted wonderful. The biscuits and gravy especially satisfied that serious comfort-food craving I had that morning. They were warm, filling, and exactly what I needed! The coffee was a good, strong black brew that fit the country-café experience perfectly, and the prices were exactly what I would expect to pay for such a generous breakfast. The restaurant was busy, and with only two waitresses working, they could definitely have used another set of hands. A few guests had to ask for coffee refills or their checks, but this is a brand-new restaurant, and I am sure they are still working out the little details. The staff was working hard, so bring a little patience and enjoy the experience. Lovely Bear Cafe has all the ingredients to become a local favorite: delicious homemade food, huge portions, reasonable prices, fun décor, and plenty of small-town charm. Give this new café a chance to delight you the next time you are visiting the Pinetop-Lakeside area!

We were able to go around the building and park in a much larger lot used by the Showlow municipal complex. We came in a side door followed a party of three.

Outstanding service! We were seated and the hostess took our drink orders. My wife wanted orange juice and she said they were out of OJ. We placed our orders. While we were waiting for our orders, the hostess came back over to tell us that they just got some Orange juice in. My wife ordered it and it was delivered a short time later.

Several of us ordered BLTs. The first person to order hers asked for her bacon extra crispy. The waitress said its always crispy. Well, we were served BLTs with a sad amount of sad grey fatty limp bacon. Luckily I was splitting a BLT and a patty melt with a friend so at least I had half of that to eat. It wasn't amazing but tolerable. Other than the bad BLTs, everyone's feedback was food was ok not great. Sides of fries and onion rings seemed like frozen food supply items but were fine. We did notice some plates had a lot and some very little. We got coconut cream pie to go and the crust on these really stood out. Has to be made in house. I'd come back for pie.
