Cafes near Apache Junction

“Love this place!“

“This place is hopping at breakfast time, and you may have to wait. Do it, it's worth it. Great service, and really nice greasy dinner food. A real treat if you are a fan of American breakfast. My brother swears by the patty melt if you are more a lunch person. I come here every time I am in town.“

“Always great food, love the fried catfish. I bring company down all the time.“

“We stopped by Panera Bread in Mesa, AZ, and it turned into a fun memory—my son, Kovana tried avocado toast for the very first time here! The staff had everything fresh and ready, the place was clean, and the service was smooth. The toast itself was simple but packed with flavor—crisp bread, creamy avocado, and a touch of seasoning that made it enjoyable.

What I really appreciate about Panera is the consistency. No matter where we’ve been, the service and food quality always feel dependable, and this Mesa location was no exception. Watching my son experience something new while everything around us was clean and welcoming made it that much better.

This is a spot where you can enjoy a good meal, relax, and make small but memorable moments with family.

“Had a great brunch at My Sisters Cafe on Kings Ranch Rd. yesterday. No pictures because we tucked in so quickly it wouldn’t have been a pretty picture! Jen’s service was wonderful. The breakfast really did taste home cooked with “real” ingredients, not cheap substitutes. The portion size was perfect for senior size appetites and reasonably priced too. Looking forward to trying dinner on Friday or Saturday.“

“I’ve been a customer of Kneader’s Bakery on McDowell in Mesa, AZ since they opened. Their desserts, breads, salads, soups, sandwiches and smoothies have always been prepared well and very tasty. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Today I picked up pumpkin breads that I ordered online and had a great conversation with Dee Ann and another employee. They were so outgoing and had excellent customer service. I ordered a Non dairy berry smoothie that was delicious and also received a free loaf of country white bread. What a pleasant visit and an unexpected token of kindness. I will continue to support this business and encourage others to do the same.“

“Very warm welcome! Gave us ideas on the menu and the host was very knowledgeable about everything! Our server was sweet and kind. Was our first time there and we enjoyed every moment of it.“
