Yours new friend, Favour
Been working on filling up my frequent customer card at Acacia Cafe, still in love with the little place. Turns out Sunday's are special because they've got a few extra menu items for their Sunday Brunch, including an awesome Fruit & Nut Waffle, with cranberries, raisins and walnuts baked right in. Yum. Other Sunday specials include Eggs Benedict and Eggs Albuquerque. If you've never been to Acacia on a Sunday, check it out.
Best chicken salad sandwich of my life! Holy cow, I had no clue somebody could make such a perfect chicken salad sandwich. It had almonds and grapes in it, and there were no onions in it! I'm allergic to onions, so I hate when they put it in the chicken salad. It was on a wonderful, flaky croissant, not at all greasy. Oh, and what every girl wants, the perfect crunchy pickle!
The lady at the counter was super helpful with helping my picky self figure out what I was going to eat. She was mom-like, you know helpful and patient. She didn't make me feel like I was an annoying customer who didn't know what I wanted, which I was. Believe me, I'm no picnic the first time I go to a new place. I get overwhelmed by all the choices, and I have all these pain in the ass food allergies.
PLUS, they have free WIFI, the place feels super clean, and they have espresso drinks. I opted not to get one at noon today, but I'm going back tomorrow morning.
Acacia, since I have no boyfriend right now, I am currently in love with you. I'm no stalker, but you're going to see a lot of me. ;)
I first went here yesterday for lunch to help support Dining Out for Life. My two coworkers and I were all new to the lunch spot and we were all impressed when we left.
I had the chicken salad sandwich with some jalapeno chips, one friend had the southwest salad and the other had a bagel and lox. Yes, the service was a little slow. We weren't on a time crunch so we were okay with it, although really hungry! All of the food seemed very fresh and I think the delicious wheat bread for my sandwich might have been made that day. It even came with a pickle - an added touch I like with my sandwiches and burgers.
The menu had a lot of options and the portions were good, but not overly huge. Another plus - the price is right. They also serve b-fast all day long - one of my favorites! I will definitely be back here and now I have another work-lunch option in the area. Woohoo!
One weird side note - I think we were the only people under 65 in the joint save one family with small children sitting outside...
I had a revelation, coffee and sandwiches go great together! I don't recommend having coffee with one of those Jalepeno'd hot-sauced, spicy meat, pepper jack cheese monsters that every place seems to be slinging, but coffee and chicken salad on marble rye, perfecto!
Acacia is off the beaten path and as my lunch date commented, "this place reminds me of some place in D.C." It was set up like a shop you'd see in a bustling city, but didn't have the patrons, nor the speed of say a Boston sandwich shop. "Let's go to Kelly's and gets some roast beef" (Bostonians know what I'm saying) It was dead to say the least, a few lunchers (new word) but not at all busy, and it was about 12:20pm. We ordered, and about 15 minutes later got our food. It was very slow for lunch, and for the amount of orders they had. I had a 1pm meeting so we couldn't eat in house, and had to take it home. Overall the menu was great, prices excellent, and service friendly. My date left a You've Been Yelped card. I thought it would be cool to drop the card on the counter and say "You been Yelped Mother F'er!" Then proceed to walk out all gansta style, and throw your hands up in the air. It' be like a drive by Yelping....
We went here for breakfast, and while the wait time was unbearable, I chalk it up to cranky hangover paranoia. The orange juice was awesome! Other notable features are how clean and comfortable the place is, the sheer deliciousness of the food, and the probability of me coming back in the near future.
1) Great Food 2) Friendly people 3) Low Prices 4) Breakfast or Lunch made to order 5) Quick Service
The first time I went to Acacia Cafe I thought it was a sit-down get waited on type of place. Not really what I was looking for, but we were hungry and I'd heard they had great food. To my surprise I discovered you order at the counter, pick out a table and wait a few minutes until they bring you your delicious meal. Just what I was looking for, a casual lunch place. On top of the great food the prices very reasonable. You just can't go wrong at Acacia Cafe!
If you are looking for a simple, moderately priced, fresh place to eat where parking is not too much of an issue at lunchtime, this is a good bet... The staff is friendly and open to you altering the menu items. The salads and sandwiches are tasty and portion sizes are just right. I am excited to go back for breakfast sometime soon. Just one warning... the atmosphere is not much. Acacia Cafe is located in a strip mall and it's clean, but not too much unique inside. Go for the food if you are looking for something fresh and simple - do not go for the atmosphere or with extremely high expectations...
Do you believe in unicorns? How about gremlins? Astrology? Do you believe a hip clean place churns out delicious CHEAP breakfast food ALL DAY LONG and its a short drive or bus ride away? Yeah, I would rather drink gnome blood on a pegasus while reading your tarot, but NO. IT IS TRUE. Put your I-Ching away! And get ready to unpeel your eyes like Clockwatch Orange!
I confess. I didn't believe everyone who raved about this place. After the dismal Mama Java experience (worst food ever) barely a couple feet away, I was ready to piss on their doorstop if they failed me. Cause one thing you have to know about me: I am dead serious about breakfast. If you fuck with my breakfast, I will shiv you with a KFC spork sharpened to deadly precision.
BUT-weirdly enough I am willing to wait and drive long distances for brunch IF I believe what awaits me is worth the time b/c my appetite rivals a truckers. Yeah, the truckers breakfast? Barely fazes me. Pure waffle carnage with me, folks. (Why did I say "folks"? OMG, all the nice old people are getting into my urban slang)
So I pulled up here, deep breath, on a weekday afternoon at like 1:30. I was ready. BRING IT.
AND IT IS TRUE.
It is so CHEAP I couldn't believe it. Inside was so sunny and airy and clean and bright and cheerful. And artsy and tasteful. God, you would think I was trying to get into Acacia Cafe's panties. And I am. The staff chick was adorable and sweet while I kept asking "I can have ANYTHING on the menu? Really? And these are the REAL PRICES?" Yeah. They are. I was soooo tempted to get the 3 buck waffles everyone raved about, but after waiting so long for yummies, I went for savoury, not sweet.
I did the roasted veggie omelet with these delightful hash brown things with rosemary and FRESH ground pepper on them! The veggies were delectible and roasted and sooooo good. Peppers and mushrooms and zucchini and so much more with basil and garlic. I was a little peeved that cheese wasn't mentioned in the omelet yet there it was folded into my chicken embryo. But to be fair, I didn't ask either. And it came with great fruit on the side. And the orange jucie was fresh. And the coffee delish. I savoured my meal for so long she took away my last few bites before I was done I had been sitting with my food for so long. And it hardly cost anything. Way cheaper than Harlow's Cafe and that place is way nasty. I spit on them (except for their biscuits.....omg...biscuits).
Food is great! People are personable. Ambiance is pleasant. Place is *clean*!
After my second time, I've always been greeted as a friend -- not just as a "regular". AND, Mike will cook my waffle [thanks for the heads-up Milee S.] the way I like my waffle. I don't have to eat it the same way [golden brown] that most everyone else wants theirs. I get it the way I like it -- charcoal-y [that's how I like a waffle. you get yours the way you like a waffle].
Thanks for the heads up about this place. I decided to check it out after reading several people who posted. It's a simple place with pretty good food. It was too hot to eat outside but they do have a nice patio with umbrellas. I'll remember that when the Phoenix winters come around. I ordered the roast beef with carmelized onion sandwich and I thought it was very good. It came with a side dish. I also had a coupon for 20% off which I downloaded and printed after clicking on their website from the Yelp review. So, take advantage of that savings. Thanks fellow Yelpers!
I did a little Yelping on Saturday morning in search of a good, cheap breakfast and this place caught my eye. I had driven past it a number of times but never stopped in.
Big thanks to past reviewers for dropping by and taking the time to Yelp about this place! It is uber clean and the food is fresh and tastes delicious. And the prices are amazingly affordable -- the gf and I got out of there stuffed with goodness and spent right about ten bucks between us.
I just came back from Phoenix and was delighted to find this cool cafe, not too far from where I was staying. The prices are unbelievable ($4 for a Belgian Waffle? Unheard of at most places!) and the environment is pretty relaxing. Like the previous reviewer mentioned, it definitely has a neighborhood feel and the servers are very friendly. I wish I had a few more days in Phoenix; I certainly would have come back!
This is a true neighborhood cafe with fresh food at neighbor-friendly prices. Acacia Cafe just opened and I couldn't be happier. It is easy to miss, sandwiched between an Italian restaurant and a retail plaza. I stopped in the morning and was delighted to find a clean space with a great breakfast and lunch menu that is much more extensive then their website suggests. For breakfast, they have several breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, and scrambles, a yogurt parfait, and an array of baked goods. For lunch, they have about 5 different salads, 5 different sandwiches, and fresh made soup.
The counter person was super friendly as was proud to gush about the quality of the ingredients they use and that everything was made fresh including their baked goods (which includes cookies, rice crispy bars, scones, breads, croissants...). I had a croissant and it was fantastic. Seriously, the best I have had anywhere in Phoenix.
If all this doesn't sell you, the prices will. Breakfast items (including the breakfast entrees, like the veggie scramble, which all include a breakfast bread of your choice) were under $4 and lunch items were under $6! My killer croissant was $1.50. I guess you can keep prices low when you make everything in house. They open super early 5 AM - 3 PM during the week, and a little later on the weekends. (open Sat., closed Sun.), so you can pop in after an early morning spin session at Studio 360. And parking is plentiful. Let's review. Cheap, tasty, and convenient. It's the trifecta. FINALLY, an alternative to the mob scene that was once my favorite neighborhood spot (aka LGO).
Wow. The chicken salad sandwich on wheat bread is the bomb. I chowed down on this like nobody's business. And hooray for fresh fruit as my side, with smooth and satisfying coffee.
I got my sandwich to go. Again, service was slow.
While there, I had to pee. Hey, it happens. Bathroom was pretty clean, considering... and then it happened. Oh.My.God.
***I SAW A ROACH ON THE WALL!***
It crawled down at me, its little antenna twitching. I about threw up in my mouth. I don't think I can look at Acacia Cafe the same way again.
3 stars is the best I can give now.
MY FIRST EXPERIENCE: (was initially 4 stars)
I have always wanted to try Acacia Cafe. I've driven by it many times, yet didn't stop in until my lunch date and myself made a point to try a new place. Enter Acacia Cafe, per my request. I'm glad he listened to me!
The place is bright and open - with tables inside and a nice patio outside. There's a tiny fridge area if you want to grab a quick juice or yogurt. Otherwise, you can step up to the counter and eye the expansive menu. Making your choice is tough. I went with the Veggie Panni, with a side of couscous. Served warm, the Veggie Panni had roasted eggplant, zucchini, red pepper and onions stacked on a grilled ciabatta. The pesto mayo was a nice touch - not overpowering whatsoever. Very good!
The couscous was really great. I tried it first and couldn't put it down.
My date had the Chicken Salad Sandwich. Adding almonds and grapes were a nice touch. It was good! The chips - roasted pepper and sea salt - were incredible. I didn't want to stop munching on them. And I had my huge Veggie Panni to contend with. The sandwich was large, cut in two, and perfect for 1/2 now and 1/2 later. For $6.75, that's a pretty good deal.
Oh, did I mention we each got complimentary pickles?
For drinks, we both had Vanilla Hazelnut coffee. Very good!
I've already recommended to friends that if they want a new lunch spot or cool place to meet for coffee, then Acacia Cafe is a top choice. (WORD TO THE WISE: They don't offer Iced Coffee.)
Yet, the service... ah, how slow it was! We were the only two there who placed an order. Why did it take over 10 minutes from the time we paid until the time they called our name? I mean, it was even an ORDER TO GO! Did they have to go out back and cut the veggies themselves? Maybe they had to pluck the chicken first. Whatever it was, it left a bad taste in my mouth - which is why I definitely can't rate this place any higher.
Since I'm stuck doing depositions in the Arcadia area this week, I've been using Yelp to help me experiment with Arcadian eateries for lunch. My reward today for this experiment was Acacia Cafe.
This is a brilliant, cute little lunch spot close to Indian School and 36th St, which serves very tasty looking breakfast items all day long, along with a large selection of light, refreshing sandwich selections among others. The service is friendly. You order at the counter and the items are brought to you. There is outdoor seating on a quaint little patio.
I opted for a soup and half sandwich combo. The potato soup and egg salad sandwich were both very yummy. My friend ordered a "south by southwest" wrap of some sort and said it was delicious.
I wish I worked closer to here so I could lunch here more often. I'll have to settle for the occasional weekend breakfast instead.
UPDATE: After several more visits, I am downgrading by 2 whole stars for two significant and persistent reasons: unfriendly service, and painfully slow service.
