Copied from my facebook post: This is a sad story, but one that I need to get off my chest. I have been coming here since Jose and Martha ran the place. They always treated me nice and always got my order correct. I cant stress this enough, an older couple in a busy cafe always got my order right. Apparently the new younger owners cant seem to do the same with my order. I came in about 9 months ago, lets say. I walk in and was greeted by some new faces. I didnt think anything of it, because the old owners ran such an excellent business. I placed an order for myself, my mother, and grandmother. 3 toasted croissants one, turkey, one ham, and the other that I cant recall. I told the lady at the front to please toast all three sandwhiches. They get to making the sandwiches I say again, all three toasted okay, the lady reassures me yes they will be toasted. I see them wrapping up the sandwiches and again I ask, you toasted those right? Again she reassured me. I look at the guy making the sandwiches and hes got this deer in the headlights look, but I pay and leave. I get home my croissant is toasted but the ones for my mom and grandma are not toasted. I was so upset I called the cafe and told them they messed up my order. The lady answering was very apologetic saying all the right things she offered to refund the purchase I said no, I want you guys to do better because the previous owners set such a high bar of expectation. I hang up. I swore never again to visit. But I missed the tres leche cake. So, it was Friday the 24th and decided you know maybe theyre doing better, let me give the cafe another chance. I order for myself this time, my mother will never eat from there again. I order, can you guess, a turkey croissant a tres leches and a 16 ounce vanilla shake. I pay, everything is going great I come home. They gave me a turkey panini with everthing!! I call, Ivan picks up the phone. I say hey you guys got my order wrong, Ivan very apologetic say next time you come in give them my name and youll get an item on the menu for free. I was so done, I was so heartbroken I couldnt believe it happened again. To top it off the tres leches wasnt as good as when Martha made it. Really I dont understand what makes me different from any of the other customers that walk in there that they think they can just do whatever to my order and Ill be fine with it. My money is as good as anyone else that walks in there, but apparently I dont deserve to have my order filled properly. The worst part is if you read the reviews on here and google, and yelp they are all 5 stars excellent service, so this is only happening to me. I dont know what I did, but I want Jose and Martha back. I was really wrestling with the idea of whether or not to write this review, but I feel that I have to do something. Its not right that everyone else gets A+ service, and I get F- service. Who knows maybe in another 9 months Ill try again. In the mean time if you want to take advantage of Ivans offer to me in my name youre more than welcome to.

Relatively new place in Tempe (Opened in December). You could tell because the owners (who prepared and served the food) were extremely friendly - they offered free samples, explained which desserts were the most popular and which desserts they loved most. They also asked us questions about how we wanted are coffee prepared just to make sure (do you want a lot of sugar or a little?). The customer service was fantastic - they are a very cute owner couple. I had an iced coffee which was flavorful (not burned or stale) and not watered down (some places pour warm coffee over ice). I wouldnt put the coffee in the five star category (I reserve that for places which roast beans on site and carefully curate their blends), but they know how to prepare good coffee. Their desserts, however, stand out. I ordered the tres leches. Delicious. The caramel on top of the whipped cream was crispy-torched to perfection. Ill come back to try the chocolat fondant - it looked too good to pass up. The seating is limited to just five tables inside with two outlets for computers. This place is more of a dessert and coffee stop than a work-for-hours coffee shop and the location is in a strip mall next to a grocery store (read: not that scenic). Recap: Incredible mom and pop service, outstanding desserts, solid coffee, not much seating, no view.

I am heart broken that the owners that i have grown to love no longer own the shop. The food was always great and made with care. Not only was the food awesome but the conversations we had were what topped it off. I was making my regular runs to the shop and noticed new faces. The food was not the same and didnt taste like i have grown accustomed to. I really miss old the ownership but it is a place you can still get good eats

Went here with a friend to get an omelet, and it just wasnt that great. Im not sure why they season their hash browns with Mexican spices. Not everyone likes that. The omelet itself didnt really have a good taste, not sure if it was just overcooked or what. The French toast was very hard and didnt taste good at all. Maybe its a good place but they definitely make terrible omelets.

Loved this place.. Perfect for a quick breakfast/brunch.. Tried omlet which is topped with few pieces of guacamole and zucchini and stuffed with all the veggies.. The crossaint was too creamy but was delicious.. Do visit this place if you are in Tempe!

Excellent food, service and cleanliness. I enjoyed my breakfast French toast with banana and walnuts and Carmel latte. Theres nothing like this in the area. So, I highly suggest it. Kudos to the owner!!!!
