Cafe Mix

LOVE this place. It’s my family’s go to! Fresh food, clean establishment, nicest owner. You really can’t go wrong. It’s always consistent, you know what you’re gonna get when you come here.

Food is excellent, primarily the Greek salad with either of the chicken options.
Small beer and dessert selection.
Service is okay. Sometimes it seems like everyone is standing around, but they’re always friendly.

The food was alright. We ordered a falafel gyro, a falafel salad, & fries (all Vegan adjusted) The ingredients were fresh but honestly just lacked flavor. The hummus according to my daughter was very good though. I ate the falafel salad & it was ok. The service was good but they charged me for sauce for fries when in all honesty I ordered my food without cheese, or tahini & I only asked if they seasoned there fries. The man said you want sauce for them (there salad dressing apparently is what he meant, because that’s what I received in the bag) but I don’t feel like that should’ve been at an extra charge.

Food is good and the portions are excellent! The staff is less than enthusiastic but efficient and courteous. Prices are a little high but the quality (and portions) are proportional to what you pay. I would recommend this as a great everyday lunch spot if you are trying to eat healthy.

My hubby and I have been trying new places by our house since we moved and decided to check this place out. Very pleased with the food! We ordered the chicken shwarma and the chicken kabob platter, and both were delicious! Will definitely be coming back!

less than stellar experience. greeted and sat down and drinks were taken right away but then after saying we needed a minute to order we sat for long enough for me to contemplate leaving because the waiter walked past the table 3 times and said nothing. then the other waitress walled by took the order. I asked for a regular gyro. she misinterpreted that as the gyro plate where everything is separate.
not long after the order was taken we are brought 2 salads. I realized our food came with the option of salad or fries, but we’re never asked. It wouldn’t have been much issue but I am allergic to peppers and there were bits of banana pepper in the salad.
the food was ok. not what I ordered per se. it was a gyro but on a plate. when I said a regular gyro I meant the kind in a pita, not the kind with the meat and pita on separate plates.
my wife’s chicken shwarma was a bit over seasoned.
just an overall below average experience. I have been there a few times before and it’s always just average for a Mediterranean place. this time I am deciding to avoid the place from now on. food tastes good but not worth the annoyance

So Delicious… I Love The Gyro Plate Here… The Place Is Nice & Clean. –Plus if you call in your order they are super quick too!

So obsessed with my lunch here today! I decided to be *healthy* and get a Greek salad but I cannot turn down gyro meat. it was $ 10 total (no drink) for a pretty large portion, I didn’t finish it all. The gyro meat was perfectly seasoned and delicious. The pita break on the side was hot and fresh & the tzatziki was delish. Will definitely come back.

I forgot my lunch and this place happened to be down the street from my office.
First the food: It was overpriced but it tasted fine. I got the greek salad with falafel. Nothing special but not bad. I would have normally given it two or three stars.
Service: I would give zero stars. I was paying for my salad and he pointed to the take out waiting area. I then went to grab a takeout menu to keep at my desk for future reference and said, «you wait there», in a very rude tone. I just told him I heard him the first time I am grabbing a menu. I will not be back, to a place that talks to their customers that way.
I also saw something that I am sure is a code violation. The male cashier went right from the register and helped the kithchen by slicing meat. I’m pretty sure you have to wash your hands in between register and working with food, money amd cards are so dirty. I know that was the rule when I worked a short stint in food service.

Always have the best experience here. Called in at 8:05 forgetting they close at 8 and he was more than happy to whip up my salad for me! Love love love café mix. You never get a bad meal or bad company!

Good food but over priced considering that you order at the counter. Ordered two Greek salads with lamb and two ice teas. Over $ 30.00!
We eat Greek several times a month. Over priced! Especially since the ice tea is weak and not fresh brewed. Then they charge another 50 cents per cup to go at the end of the meal.
I doubt that I will be back.

So I’ve gone a couple of times after my last review. We even dined in & tried their Baklava — that experience was nice. But my last visit was awful. So a co-​worker of mine and I ordered our food to go. Unbeknownst to me if YOU ORDER A TAKE OUT, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DINE IN. We were meeting up with our old boss and we knew our time was gonna be limited. I ordered my food to go with the intention of dining in and just wrapping my food to go when I have to leave. BIG MISTAKE!!! The owner proceeds to lecture me when I went to grab my take out (mind you, I just tipped his staff $ 3) about how I shouldn’t order «to go» if I had every intention to dine in. Of course it took me by surprise because I didn’t really understand what the big deal was and why he was upset at me? I wanted it to go because I knew my time was limited and I wasn’t about to waste more paper products by asking for a to go styrofoam. As he lectures me and raises his voice because clearly he’s upset about something. I’m still confused because he’s accusing me of knowing what his rules were! So I asked him «what happens when I can’t finish my food?» He responds with «then you ask for a take out box!» So I responded, «aren’t I eliminating that process by just asking for my order to go?» So he raises his voice at me and with my old boss next to me trying to order her food now. My old boss was trying to figure out at the same time if she should order her food to go since it looks like he’s denying us a table. She told him we didn’t know and reminded him that many of our co-​workers from our company dine in & order here often. He proceeds to tell her that she can order to dine it then looks at me says «this is my rules and you did not follow it. I told your friend what I told you so she knows my rule and you still disobeyed it. Please don’t do it again and I will let you dine in with your take out!» I was flabbergasted! I honestly didn’t know what to say to him. I get that he’s trying to cut cost. I’m sure the «to go» styrofoam are more costly but having to waste paper plates and Styrofoam’s would cost more because you’re wasting 2 items oppose to just 1. They both will be in the trash can after use. Needless to say, I have not come back nor have every intention of coming back.

I think 5 stars aren’t enough for this place. I had lunch here yesterday and tried the Gyro Plate (23) that comes with rice, humus, pita bread, and Greek salad for starters. EVERYTHING was superb and AMAZINGLY delicious! I have never had such authentic Greek food in America.
This place is extremely clean, the staff is polite, service is great! Theme on the inside is also very nice!
Today, I went back around 4pm and tried #23 again! There’s something about the rice! So delicious and great service. If you’re in this area this place is a must!
Update:
So, now I’ve tried the mix grill, chicken kabob, and Baklava; all exceptionally amazing! I’ve never had this kind of Baklava, it’s very different and much more delicious than what you might find ordinarily. The manager was kind enough to offer it to me complimentary ! Guys/​gals, please visit this place at least once, you won’t regret the experience.

Fresh, fast and authentic Greek cuisine! I highly recommend the greek salad and add gyro meat ($ 10). Their meat is slow cooked all day and freshly shaved upon ordering. It comes with two dipping sauces for a nice variety! The service is wonderful and staff is extremely friendly. The parking can be annoying around lunch time with such a tight area– try pakring by the Walmart and walking over.

I could never say enough good things about this place in 1 review. Service: Unbeatable. Food: Superior. Value: Excellent. Some of the best gyro meat I’ve ever had. Love this place!

It’s my second time eating here and I loved it again. I tried the #30 for two. You get a salad, a plate (with hummus, steak, chicken, and gyro meat, and rice) and baklava for dessert. It was delish! This is the place to try. It will be your new favorite.

I’ve been here twice, once alone and once with my wife. Both times, the food was absolutely excellent and consistent. You should go here, very reasonable prices, very authentic Greek/​Medi food. The staff are always attentive, polite and prompt.
Gyros wraps and hummus are on point. Coming from the bay area california, I know it when I taste authentic and this place is it. Very unassuming in a stripmall across from a starbucks, but some of the best local Greek/​medi food I’ve had.

Café Mix is a quiet little Greek restaurant with fresh delicious food. I ordered the 3 lambchop plate. Which was wonderful. Fresh, tender. The rice was light and fluffy. Salad was fresh. My husband had a gyro and fries he said was pretty good. Service was friendly and quick.

So this place was definitely a four star restaurant until my last visit. I was on my way from work to meet my fiancé for a quick lunch date. So trying to be prepared for the lunch hour, I called and ordered our food ahead of time just in case there weren’t any seats upon our arrival. When we got there we paid and found one of the few seats left. So we sat and enjoyed the food and as we were leaving I went to hand a piece of silverware back and as I did the cashier, who I assume is the owner let me know we could not have boxed food within the restaurant. I could understand if we brought it in from another establishment, however we just paid and left a tip and now we can’t eat the food you just prepared inside on a hot summer day in Phoenix. There are no signs posted stating this information.
Aside from this the food is good.

Another short review. I ordered the falafel wrap. Falafel was good, and a decent price. Service was unfriendly, but good enough. The people I was on lunch with sang this place’s high praises, but I didn’t find it anything special, and don’t have any eagerness to come back.
Maybe, being from Michigan, I have a huge pick of really good Middle Eastern restaurants and am spoiled.
