Dessie’s Cafe

The food is amazing here and the service is the best. If you want an affordable, home cooked meal served by a friendly staff that remembers your face time after time Dessie’s is the place for you!

This cute little café has the best food and service. Every dish I have ever gotten has been exceptional! Food always comes out fast and the waitresses are always so friendly.

I honestly don’t know how this place has such high reviews. The place was practically empty when we arrived. The food all tasted premade, canned, or boxed. Nothing about the food tasted fresh or made from scratch. Even the coffee tasted like old office coffee. I went here about 2 years ago and I still remember how awful it was. Maybe it has improved since then, but I can still remember the terrible experience.

My husband and I are Sunday regulars for breakfast and think the food is really good. I just wish that they would get rid of the shabby, disgusting looking plates. Have some pride.

Potato salad was good, as was the BLT. Got there with time to spare before they closed, but felt rushed when the owner, or cook or whoever it was from in back sat at a table and watched me eat. I decided a go box was in order. Very uncomfortable. Pricey too.

My family and I went to Dessie Café in
Chandler, sure was a terrific brunch.
The food was super and the people
working there were all very nice —
GREAT MEAL

Just like some other Unilocalers stated– mediocre at best. I tried the German pancake and I’ve definitely had far better, but it wasn’t too shabby with a lot of lemon squeezed on it. My dining companion had an omelette with bland salsa and hash browns that were decent. I wouldn’t have gone except I had a
coupon so opted to try it out. I’d rather go to Yoli’s Café next time.

I really, really enjoyed this place. I got a chorizo omelet and it was huge and yummy. I am pretty picky about my breakfast foods. Runny eggs make me gag. Thinking of runny eggs makes me gag. They cooked my food to perfection.
I was with a friend and we got there in what we thought was plenty of time before they closed but it turns out they had different hours in the summer than the winter so they were closing up as we got there. We started to leave but the waitress was SUPER nice and made us feel very welcome. It was a great way to start the day.

Nice local café — with many locals that go there on a regular basis.
My bestie has a gluten intolerance, and they assured her that they cleaned off their one grill just to make her meal — and asked her different questions to make sure that they were getting her ingredients that fit her needs. The cook even came out to our table after food was served and asked if she got everything she needed and sympathized to her food needs. That service is unheard of.
I got the green chili omelet with chicken and it was good.
Would go back any day — with knowing it is a local neighborhood café.

Super good food, I had the pumpkin pancake and french toast, both delicious. The pancake did not have a strong Pumkin taste, very light. The omelets are huge and packed with stuff. Also they’re dog friendly, And the server usually brings out a bowl of water and bacon for your pup!

Great place, awesome service, and excellent food. From Vicki to Alex and Sean, everything is quality and they also throw in great guest service. If your on this side of town or looking for a mom and pop place to eat a great meal, this is your place.

Dessie’s I really want to like you. I will refuse to go to any Denny’s or Ihop for breakfast. I will always pick 100% local. I’ve reviewed before and I’ll review again to put in my 2 cents.
Again the green chili omelette was blah. The green chili is obviously from a can, and its going bad, it was REALLY bad. I had to scrape it off my eggs.
So I love rock and roll more than anyone, but when I was in there 99% of your customers are elderly. So the Alice in Chains blasting from the kitchen, probably not a good idea. I don’t mind it, but again I’m not 80.
2^nd. Your cooks look like they’re from a Mad Max film. When they’re not cooking they pier through the window and stare at the customers like they’re in prison… creepy just plain creepy.
Besides the reasonable prices and the waitress, I can’t say anything positive about the place.
Good luck in the Thunder Dome.

First time visit. Small quaint place, fills up with patrons real quick after 0800 Sunday. Limited number of tables and I suspect a nice outdoor café seating when weather is pleasant. A little warm temp inside with fans everywhere, still a bit too warm fur be to enjoy a meal.
I had biscuits and gravy combo with eggs and bacon, along with a small portion of French Toast. I had wanted a half order of Belgium Waffle but the machine was broken. The French Toast was normal bread, a bit of a hint of griddle taste which I didn’t care for. Ample serving of biscuits and gravy with a decent taste that will let you know it’s home made. A bit pricy I thought, $ 17.00.
All in all, ok experience. Will give this place another try before making my mind up if this is a good breakfast spit.

Ate breakfast here yesterday with my GF. It was OK. Solid food and reasonably prices, but nothing outstanding. They need to change their technique to panning their bacon since the bacon was pretty rubbery. But I thought I would just offer my two cents here with this posting.

The B.A.L.T. was delicious. This Specialty Sandwich includes bacon, avocado, lettuce and tomato on toast with garlic aioli.
The atmosphere is pretty with pastel yellow, purple and green walls. The tables have flowers on them.
The waitress was accommodating.

We love this place! Pancakes are so good! Also, the German pancake is delicious! Must have, great service, great bacon!

So looking for a «pet-​friendly» place, that we could take our puppybutt to… Came across this place. We have never dined here, so we took a chance. Very cute little breakfast/​brunch shop, that has a boutiquey, quaint little charm to it. We dined outside so our lil boy could hang out with us. I had the breakfast omelette special, with a hollandaise sauce on the side. One of my daughters had the French toast and my other child had the biscuits & gravy combo. My daughter’s French toast was good, nothing too fancy, but still devoured lol. The omelette was delicious, with mushrooms, Swiss cheese and ham. Their home fries were much better than I thought they would be (been to a few places and you never know what to expect when you hear «home fries»). The biscuits & gravy were lukewarm, so we mentioned it, and the waitress was on point. She brought my daughter a cup of warm gravy right away and she was jazzed. We liked the special touch of the cute water bowl our waitress brought for dog. Only thing I would mention to the waiter next time is doggies don’t need super iced water lol. We would come back again! Glad to have found a decent breakfast place, with a bonus, pet-​friendly too!

Very good little place. Took my 12 year old son here for breakfast and the service was excellent. The food was typical diner type, but the home fries were AWESOME! Great combo of burnt and well cooked pieces.
We both want to come back next week!

Great service! I had the German pancake it was delicious. Outside is a large dog friendly patio. I was worried because of other reviews– but took a chance cause I had a taste for a German Pancake — but everything was perfect.

Place was alright. Nothing spectacular. Service was good — everyone was very attentive and food comes out super quick. The person I was with got the special — the dirty Sanchez — which was biscuits and gravy on top of eggs and hash browns all covered with adobo sauce and cheddar cheese. Not the prettiest presentation but he ate it up and loved all of the flavors. I Got the two egg breakfast — originally came out with a big black hair in the eggs which I noticed immediately. The waitress apologized and returned about two minutes later with «a whole new plate.» Seems hard to believe that they were able to do redo everything in that amount of time but whatever, I ate it. I didn’t complain at all but I feel as though something else could have been done considering the situation — perhaps a discount or make my coffee free or a gift card so I would give them another shot. I don’t plan to return but I may have if the workers were more apologetic. Other than this the potatoes were quite bland but palatable after adding some hot sauce. Positive note — eggs were cooked exactly as I had ordered them (over easy) with perfectly runny yolks and the wheat bread is very tasty with lots of seeds and grains. However, considering the bigger picture I will probably not return.
