Cafe 1010

Awesome place to go for breakfast or lunch during the week! Breakfasts are cheap and cooked to order! My favorite is egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant! They have daily lunch specials, but also a grill you can order anything you like from burgers to pastrami melts to grilled cheese to chicken fingers!
However, the most popular item at Café 1010 is their Posole Soup — only served on Thursdays — year round! THEY SELL OUT EARLY! Get there before Noon to get your soup! $ 1.25 for a small cup and $ 2.25 for a bowl! Get your Posole Soup with onion, cilantro and LEMON! Yum!
They also have a fresh and easy salad bar where you can build your own salad that they charge by the pound. They also have breakfast and lunch punch cards!
Parking is free right next door and above Café. (The Café is on the first floor of a parking garage.) Most of the customers are Arizona Dept. of Environmental Quality employees, since that state agency is right across courtyard from Café, but you will also see a lot of other customers there from all over!

Café 1010 is one of the best kept secrets in the area — I’ll tell you about if you promise not to go blabbing to everyone. Deal?
Tucked away in the government building district, there’s easy garage parking (free! shhh!) — inside the Café is a grill that does everything from burgers to turkey reubens (Juan is a grill ninja master. Ask for crispy fries.) — daily specials like fish & chips or baked ziti or taco salad or filet mignon (I may have made the last one up) — I have not been here for breakfast but the regulars swear by the breakfast burrito.
Another pro tip: don’t tell Emilio, the affable owner (and frequent cashier) — but his prices are trapped in 1999. Very, very affordable. Convenience store prices. I also like, as a diet soda person, that the fountain drinks include Diet Coke (bah humbug!) but also Coke Zero (getting better) and Diet Dr. Pepper (is this aspartame heaven?) Plus there’s coffee and iced tea and juice and —
OK, enough reading. Go to Café 1010. Don’t tell your friends. Our little secret. Deal?

Juan and Emilio are the best! Fantastic breakfast, made to order and very affordable. Been coming here for almost 4 years!!!

Café 1010 is one of the best breakfast spots in Phoenix. I highly recommend getting the pancakes– they are delicious! Also, if you are on the go this is a great place to grab breakfast as take-​out. They have great service here!
