Cafe At Desert Ridge

Delicious everything was great also try the Mexican hot chocolate and the crab omelette was great so was the blue cheese burger. Service was excellent and free refills on Arnold Palmers 4 of them within 10 minutes.

Did this place close? The phone number is out of service. I loved this place! Very sad.

Good little place for breakfast. Delicious eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy. Very small, has some outside seating, if it’s not too hot. Very sweet staff. Affordable and delicious!

Nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle. The place is small but quaint. I have been there for breakfast and lunch, both were good. Breakfast you cannot go wrong with any omelette. For lunch I had the salmon salad and it was delicious! The staff is super friendly and it is usually never busy.

We always come here for breakfast which we love! Best crepes!!! And fantastic service. We just had dinner twice. And it was amazing! Everything homemade. if you have not tried it, you are missing out!!!

Updating my previous review. I have not had the French toast again but I seem to not be able to get enough of their delicious crepes! My kids and I LOVE them! Everyone I bring into this place gets the crepes and loves them! Delicious, awesome, amazing! Keep up the great work!

Love this spot! Never over crowded but steadily busy. The server is always the same when I come in and does a great job managing his customers. I’m a sucker for eggs Benedict and I get it every time i come here. It will make your taste buds dance! It’s truly delicious. Great background music, always oldies. Place is dim and cozy. I like to come here and do my paperwork for work and relax, they won’t kick you out and you never feel like your taking up space. They have beer here and all types of beverages. Robbyrob recommended.

This place was cozy, quick and decent food right by my house! Sever was a young girl but good enough. Wasnt overcrowded but busy on a sun morning.

Best place ever to get breakfast. Small, very nicely decorated restaurant where the serving staff is always smiling.

I had read the review on Unilocal & decided to give it a try & so glad we did! My friend Cherie & I go out for lunch to catch up every month or so & today was a hit! Corey the main man was awesome ! The personal attention & excitement about the food was refreshing. I got the hamburger which was most excellent & large! I didn’t want the bread so the cheese, mushrooms, arugula, tomato & red pepper & onion sat on top & was held together by a toothpick for a nice presentation. The sweet potato fries were excellent as well. I couldn’t finish the fries & left very full. Cherie ordered the steak salad which was also a wonderful array of greens, perfectly cooked tender pieces of steak served with a balsamic dressing. We both agreed we’d be back!!!

I live on the opposite side of town but I crave the latte so much I am willing to drive the 40 minutes on any given Saturday/​Sunday. The Benedict’s, the crepes amazing. It’s my quiet get away in the middle of it all.

I tried Café at Desert Ridge for the first time today. There is not enough positive feedback that I can provide regarding my dining experience. The food and service were outstanding. If you have not already visited this locally owned restaurant location, I highly recommend that you do so. Thank you.

Always looking for a new breakfast place and finally tried here. We were really pleasantly surprised at the remodeling of the old bagel joint. It’s now a really cool spot with plenty of comfortable seating. The waiter was friendly and efficient. Our breakfast came out fast, fresh and wonderful. Great portion size, beautifully presented and delicious. Over the moon excited that they offered gluten free bread. It’s been way too long that I’ve enjoyed bread with my breakfast. Ahhh the little things in life. The prices were reasonable, coffee delish and always warmed up and we can’t wait to return.

I go out to eat often and have been to many places. I can tell you the food from here has been consistent and very well prepared. The proteins I tried from various visits were very above average and many were better than from expensive dinners I had from other places.
After not ordering the Ahi Tuna salad in a long time from I ordered it again fearing it wouldn’t be as good as before but actually it was improved and even better! As before the generous amount of Ahi Tuna was just as delicious and just as fresh tasting with a tasty crust. The salad was fresh cut and I liked the fresh cut oranges in it and instead of a crusted toast I got this tasty toasted flat bread that was delicious. The whole salad was delicious and was great!
My husband got the Chicken Fried Steak. «He said it was really good and why don’t we come here more often?»
Prices are reasonable.
This is a small casual Breakfast/​Lunch only place in the smaller shopping center across the street from Desert Ridge Mall.
4.5 Stars

Always looking for brunch spots around town that are not too crowded. This place is great. Cute little spot tucked into desert ridge by the pita jungle.
Food and service was great.
I had the café Benedict which is an eggs Benedict with small filet steaks instead of ham. Totally delicious.
Wife had the chicken and bri sandwich which she loved.
We will be back for sure!

We went here for Sunday brunch and were seated inside immediately. The food was fantastic. Best ham & cheese omelette I’ve ever had. My wife’s brioche French toast looked especially amazing and she said it was delicious. We did share a side of chicken sausage which I didn’t particularly care for. Service was friendly and helpful, but the food did take a while to come out.
A good place for families but also nice enough for a special brunch.

Very fresh and extremely flavorful! Try the Baha Chicken Hash.
This is an update to my prior evaluation. We have been 4 or 5 times and only once was the experience less than favorable.
Thank you Mario for responding to my prior experience. That shows you really care about providing a high quality product.

This place is tucked in the corner on the opposite side of the street from Desert Ridge’s main shopping complex (next door to Pita Jungle). We headed here for breakfast since we have been meaning to try this place for some time. Right away we were greeted by a server and seated in a nice booth. There are only about 20 seats in the place, so I’m sure it fills up on weekdays with all the businesses in the same lot. We were fortunate that it wasn’t slammed when we went.
We both chose to get the special of the day, which was the ham steak plate (see picture). The portion was huge! The ham was delicious, the potatoes were cooked just right and the eggs were made to order — he had scrambled, I had over-​medium. Luna was one of the servers working that morning and she stopped by to check on us and we struck up a conversation. She was extremely nice and we felt really welcome the entire time we were there trying to finish up our monster plates of food.
They also have a frequent eaters card that you can build up points on and perhaps get a free breakfast! They are free and you don’t have to fill out any paperwork or anything, so grab one up when you go.
Overall: A
We will definitely be back to this café and fingers crossed they have the ham steak special running again when we do!

I came here on Friday for a late lunch. It was busy but not crowded. There was one server and service was fine. No problems, but nothing special or awesome either.
I had the salmon salad, and it was definitely not what I expected. The salmon was on one side of the plate, and the salad was on the other side of the plate. The salmon had an arugula pesto dressing (I love pesto but this tasted bland and like arugula and no basil, I guess), and the salad part had something white and creamy that might have been ranch.
My mom got the steak salad and it looked good. My husband got eggs benedict, and he was bored/​underwhelmed. My dad got a burger which looked good. No complaints from my parents :)
It was fine, but wouldn’t go again. I love going out for breakfast/​brunch, but there have to be better places around.

I found a coupon in the Savvy Shopper so decided to check this place out since it is new to the Desert Ridge area.
This used to be a little deli next to Pita Jungle. I thought they did a really cute job remodeling it and making the most of the small space. BTW, kudos to the owner for selecting the curved high-​back booth which blocks the view of the bathroom doors! Very smart!
I thought the food was quite scrumptious. I ordered the crab benedict omelet with breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were not the best I’ve had and a little greasy and over-​cooked. My BF ordered the chicken sausage hash and said he really liked it.
I will be back for another visit. It is nice to have a new breakfast spot in the area and support local businesses.
