“My wife and I frequent Carefree Coffee almost weekly. Besides excellent hand crafted beverages the food menu is unique and excellent. The staff are always friendly. Price wise you’re spending the same at a corporate shop (you know the one) so I would rather my money stay local and receive fresh hand crafted coffee and food.”

“Athens on Easy Street was a fantastic dining experience! We had the trio with lamb, gyro, and chicken, along with the rice and tzatziki, and everything was packed with flavor. For dessert, we tried the bougatsa, and it was absolutely delicious—flaky, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending. Our server, Tatum, was so friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!”

Our favorite restaurant in Carefree!”

“The pizza was delicious! The people in the kitchen are hard working, most of them family members. I wasn’t impressed with the hostess, or a couple waitress, although others were great. Being in the Restaurant business for yours it’s just really hard for me to watch somebody just stand around, especially when there’s dirty, filthy areas that could be clean, even just the top of tables and condiments.
We did enjoy the pizza, we might order to take out. I was a bit disgusted by the attire that a couple people wore. I think you need to be more presentable when you’re working with the public. Not just my opinion.
I JUST——-”

“Amazing Food and service 🩷”

“The food and service was outstanding and I loved the atmosphere , I would give a ten star.”

“They won me over with their Pad Thai. This is the signature dish I always order first at every Thai restaurant. This one crushed them all.

I walked in late on their last hour on a weekday night this week, and for the summer slow season, I was impressed. Most small business restaurants shorten their hours. (They are open until 9 pm

It felt like I was dining in their home by the decor, atmosphere, and especially the service. Pete, the chef/owners husband, takes pride in their family business and is exceptionally warm and hospitable with every guest!

My Pad Thai with beef was served with a generous helping of protein compared to all my past Thai restaurant experiences. Moreover, it was mouthwatering, the beef was SO tender, and the dish itself was not dry like some pad thai's.

I was so relaxed there I forgot to take photos beyond my food. But I will catch up when I return several times to devour the entire menu, one dish at a time!”

“Took my wife to dinner here Monday, September 29, 2025; she highly recommended this restaurant. and had been to lunch with girl friend in august. There is plenty of on site parking. Great selection of burgers here. My wife and I had the big Blu Burger, coleslaw and onion rings side. Delicious and huge burger. Our server was Cynthia S. who was professional, courteous, and personable. She was helpful with suggestions for dinner. We asked to move to a booth and were easily accommodated . She often checked back with us if we wanted anything else. Highly recommend this particular place. Had a great chat with Brandon, owner about previous review and response. He pointed out his response to review. He is very concerned and wants everyone to dining to enjoy and have a great dining experience.”

They were great at communicating, had everything packed up and ready at the time it was supposed to be, and the food stayed frozen and perfect. The team was so excited about the afternoon treat and can't wait for our next Nautical Bowl day! Thank you again for making this a special day for our girls!”

“I’m staying briefly in Arizona and Brunch was recount friends. The food was cooked fresh, flavoursome, and served swiftly. Plus the staff were super friendly without being overbearing. I’d recommend Brunch in Cave Creek to anyone looking for a great bite to eat in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. 5*”

“Excellent food and service!!”

“The August monthly Choripan special was excellent! A sandwich with grilled Schreiner‘s chorizo and a House-made chimichuri sauce on a toasted hoagie roll from Noble Bakery. Sorry I didn’t get this recommendation out the earlier, but maybe this nudges Mike to add to the menu… I can only hope.”
