    Tortilla Espanola
    Rutuja S.

    Cute place with very friendly service. We stumbled across this when we were visiting Phoenix. They have patio and indoor seating. The food was top notch! I loved the Mexican Benedict, the chorizo paired so perfectly with the hollandaise sauce and the entire dish the just came together so well! My husband tried the tortilla Espanola which he devoured. We ordered the johnnycakes for the table, they were fluffy cornbread pancakes served with prickly pear syrup, just perfect! Can't wait to come back!

    Had an amazing experience here this morning. We had a party of 13 people, and had not planned ahead on where to go for breakfast. We were in nearby Vovomeena, so I called and asked if we could come over short notice with a big party. The said yes and so we did. We were expecting to probably eat on the patio, but got tables inside together. And, our delicious, freshly prepared food was served to us very quickly. The service was great. The food awesome and the charm of this neighborhood hood spot was spot on. Definitely heading back soon

    Pain Perdu

    Vovomeena has been a part of our lives for many years. We had a tradition of taking our girls after the end of the school year and now my husband & I make our way there whenever we can since it's a bit of a drive for us but it is worth it!! Beautifully decorated & clean as you enter with clear signs for directions. Lots of inside seating & outdoor as well. The food has been consistently wonderful as I've tried several dishes but I keep going back to the Pain Perdu. It's big enough to share but why? The next day it's even better when all the flavors soak in....yum!! I'm not typically a coffee person however, the way they do coffee at Vovomeena, I make sure to order my own or get a flight. I love seeing the usual friendly faces through the years!!

    Blackstone Scramble
    Page R.

    Food was solid. I got the Blackstone scramble with a hot coffee. The coffee was decent, I like that the refill was self serve. I would like to go back and try their pastries they looked really good. The scramble uses pork shoulder and peppers and onions. The pork shoulder tasted just like ham which isn't a bad thing but it was not what I was expecting. Some small criticisms: The peppers could of been cooked a little more; the potatoes were pretty bland and could definitely be improved. Overall the flavor of the scramble was good and was a satisfying portion. Definitely would go back to try other things.

    Smoked Salmon Benedict
    Jay S.

    Since my partner and I lived very close to this place, we decided to pay a visit, and got a pretty modest standard brunch before carrying on for the rest of our day. There were highlights and areas of improvement, and even if I probably won't return simply because I do not live in Phoenix, I do believe this place is a neighborhood gem in a good location for those that are looking for a good time with friends while having some food. Their menu on that day had smoked salmon benedict as an item, so I ordered that, and it was overall pretty salty. As much as smoked salmon should be salty, my opinion was that it was even saltier than what I considered it normally should be. The grits on the side barely had any flavor which was unfortunately a minus in this case. The hollandaise sauce on the top was the biggest highlight because it somehow provided a flavor balance for the dish. My partner had the biscuits and gravy, and didn't particularly enjoy it also because of the lack of flavor, in addition to the gravy being a little bit watery. Finally, maybe it's because of the specific donut we got, but the Portuguese donut was very dry and hard, so even eating it was a bit difficult, and the sweetness was just defined by the sugar on the surface. Neither my partner and I really got the hype for it. Even with these dishes that overall didn't work as well for us, I do notice many more dishes on their menu, so I have no doubt that people are able to find dishes that fit them. I would still recommend those around this area checking this place out.

    Blueberry pancakes! I order mine with potatoes :)

    This is hands down our favorite breakfast place! I don't think we have ordered anything we don't like, but the blueberry pancakes are my favorite. My partner loves the jack cakes! I have brought countless friends to this place and it has never failed us, but the staff is so pleasant! Must try

    Inside is cute, clean and decorated well

    We haven't been here in a few years, but it was time to return. We loved it the first time we came and I'm surprised we haven't come sooner. Definitely a great brunch/breakfast place. I didn't try the lunch or coffee either time but their breakfast and brunch items yummy! The place itself is small and cozy with some outdoor seating. You order first before sitting down. I love the blue color scheme inside. The service is fast and staff is nice. I ordered the Wilcox avenue: 2 eggs, herbed potatoes, buttermilk biscuit or toast and choice of meat. The eggs were done great! Not too overdone or watery. Like the potatoes with skin still on. The biscuit and bacon was my favorite! Biscuit was very fluffy and tasty and the jam was made from scratch. There is something about offering made from scratch jam that adds that extra touch. It was strawberry jam and ever so good. The bacon was cooked to my liking a little crisp but not too soft. I loved my plate. My boyfriend had the Mexican Benedict: poached eggs, chorizo, hollandaise on sopes, herbed potatoes. Plenty of chorizo and he definitely approved. Another thing to add to the aesthetics was the beautiful dishware. Looked like handmade ceramics. Very pretty. The water cups were a great touch, copper cups. There is plenty of to choose from. I definitely want to try their baked goods next time and pancakes. I definitely recommend for brunch/breakfast place.

    My second time here and the food here is still amazing! Although slightly pricier than most brunch places, and you have to line up to order and find your own seat like a cafeteria, the food choices can't be beat. Noise level is a bit above average, not the place to bring your laptop to sip on your coffee... Lots of flies everywhere, recommend some kinda contraption to control it.

    Great reviews brought us here. It's an order at the counter then seat yourself. Food is brought to your table while you need to pick up your coffee order in the back. Food was hit and miss. Potatoes barely cooked and no seasoning. The chorizo was delicious. Coffee not flavorful. Both indoor and outdoor seating.

    Willo Chicken Sandwich
    Brooke K.

    Fist time here and we definitely enjoyed! Busy on a Sunday but service and seating was efficient. Food was so yummy - savory crepes were filled with chicken, my husband loved his chicken sandwich and the waffle was great. Perfect hint of vanilla. Somewhat fast casual / order at the counter and sit. Great for a casual brunch!

    Corned Beef Omelette Special
    Steven G.

    Had to visit while in Phx; haven't been in a while. Did not disappoint; never does. The food is always amazing. Portions are healthy to say the least. And the service is always top notch and personal. Food here just tastes different and home made. In a neighborhood type of location with tough parking, but well worth it. Can sit inside or plenty of tables outside as well. This one is a can't miss.

    Johnnycakes
    Kaela S.

    "Order first, then sit where you'd like" style service. The food was pretty good, but nothing to rave about. The portions are incredibly generous, but it still feels like I paid too much for breakfast food (about or over $20/per person). The whole restaurant was very aesthetically pleasing. Overall, I had a good experience. I ordered the Johnnycakes because they sounded unique, and I like to order food that I've either never tried or can't make myself. These were kind of like a savory pancake and it was very good! Especially with the prickly pear syrup, but at some point the flavor of the syrup got to be overwhelming on the johnnycakes and I got over it about halfway through (but that's my fault for dumping it on there). I ate them with really good and juicy sausages and a side of sweet rice, which was kind of like oatmeal. I was surprised by it, but it actually wasn't that bad. Again, the food was good, but I won't drool thinking about it. It was just good!

    So excited that we came across a Facebook article saying people were driving over two hours just for the pancakes--Vovomeena's did not disappoint! The blueberry pancakes were hands-down the best I've ever had. The cashier clearly knew all the regulars and even asked how we heard about them. He was familiar with the article and mentioned they've had a ton of new visitors because of it, which was fun to hear. The setup is great: you walk in, place your order, then find a seat. Super easy and efficient. The entire staff was friendly, and our food came out quickly. Everything we ordered was delicious. Seating both inside and outside was very nice and comfortable. And honestly, the bathroom says a lot about a restaurant--this one had it all: clean, a candle, and great-smelling soap. That attention to detail really stood out. Anytime I'm in the area, I'll absolutely be stopping by Vovomeena's again!

I've only heard great things and it was such a pleasure to make a visit. The interior is ultra modern, and art-centered. On a Wednesday morning, there was one staff member holding it down and a wait/line with about 5-6 people, so the wait was about 15-20 minutes in total-- including ordering and waiting for drinks. There was mainly only paid street parking options, but it wasn't hard to find any right in front of the shop. I got two drinks: Más and Abeja, to try their matcha and coffee, and really thoroughly enjoyed both. The matcha is a little bit on the milkier side, but I did enjoy that it was completely unsweetened, and leaned on the vanilla cold foam for a light sweetness. I think I enjoyed the coffee more personally, as the honey paired super well with the espresso and oat milk. The espresso is very good. I would come back if I was in the area, I just wish the parking situation was a little different!

    Absolute Perfection! Hands Down the Best Coffee in Arizona!…read more My husband and I are avid flavored latte lovers, and wherever we travel, we make it our personal mission to hunt down the absolute best lattes in the area. Now that we live here, we dedicate one day a week to exploring a brand-new local coffee shop. We've been living in Arizona for 7 years now, and after visiting The Coffee Builders in Phoenix this week, my only question is: Where has this place been all our lives?! This incredible hidden gem is tucked away in the Warehouse District and is a bit out of sight--you'd likely never just stumble across it unless you were explicitly looking for it. But the moment you walk through the doors, you are transported. The architectural design is completely unexpected, modern, and striking--especially the gorgeous, geometric upside-down wooden pyramids stretching across the ceiling. It creates an upscale, unique atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Now for the main event: the drinks and food. I ordered the Orange Blossom Latte and my husband ordered The Slopes. Both drinks were absolutely outstanding. They were rich, velvety, thick, and incredibly creamy with deep, distinct flavor profiles. Best of all, they weren't overly sugary--which is huge for us since we typically prefer our coffee at half-sweetness. To pair with our drinks, we tried the Blueberry Bourbon Maple Pastry. It was phenomenal: flaky on the outside, light and pillowy-creamy on the inside, beautifully balanced, and generously loaded with fresh blueberries. The staff was highly professional, exceptionally welcoming, and deeply knowledgeable about their shop and everything on the menu. From this day forward, The Coffee Builders is officially our #1 favorite coffee shop in AZ. Do yourself a favor, make this a top priority on your bucket list, and treat yourself--you will not be disappointed!
