We try to come here on Mondays, we all love the mushroom soup ! The food is always great the cream puffs are amazing. Staff is always sweet . One of our favorite spots.
I am a celiac and staff went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. The gluten free pizza and chocolate torte were great. The salads are also very tasty. Our server was very kind and all the staff are welcoming and considerate.
What an absolutely delightful dining experience we had on Saint Patrick's Day at Creative Cafe... Was looking for a place to meet halfway from Tucson and Scottsdale and fortunately the cafe was open on Monday, Many other places were not. It was so great to experience the excellent hospitality and service especially of a business that is so community centric. Special thanks to our servers Jessie and Debbie and thank you to Terry the owner for offering us a Saint Patrick's Day treat. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and house made my tuna melt was the best I'd ever had- and all their sides and you have many to choose from our housemade. I had the macaroni salad.. Even though it was busy the owner knew my friend and I had not seen one another in 15 years and we were not rushed. They had a corned beef and cabbage special of the day and I should have ordered 1 to take home. Absolutely worth the stop off I 10 coming or going... Thank you very very much to all for this family owned eatery. J in Tucson
Our first time at the Cafe was even much better than we had heard. It was a bustling place full of happy people. The menu has a wide variety of options, is well priced, portions are large and flavourful. All our meals were delicious and service was fantastic. Even though it was very busy on a Friday night, we were seated, with our order taken and food out within 20 minutes. Servers were back several times to check on us and refill beverages. We could not have had a better experience. Looking forward to our next visit.
Best dining experience I’ve had in a while. Just a really great place. I hope I get to go back.
Menu items have fun names & the food lives up to the descriptions! Everyone working was friendly & professional. The restaurant looks fairly small from the outside but actually has a lot of dining area. The desserts & bakery goods looked fantastic. We were too full to get anything after our meals but will go back just for treats. Two thumbs up!
Everyone in our party seemed to enjoy what they got. They were helpful in getting a sample of the sauce for me to try for the salmon and checking on different items to see if they were gluten free. The dressing on the Asian salad wasn't because of the soy sauce. They weren't sure of the blue cheese on one of the salads but could substitute. Very helpful and informative. Could do pizza or a wrap.
I had a great Reuben sandwich. Not a fancy presentation (i.e., garnishes), but very good. Staff was friendly and fast enough. I'll go back. Recommended.
We had an excellent experience at Creative Cafe. The service was outstanding and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the hanger steak cooked medium rare with garlic mashed potatoes, the pan-seared pork chop with seasonal veggies (broccolini), and the BBQ special of the day. Everyone also opted for the chicken tortilla soup which was amazing. Everything was incredibly flavorful, perfectly cooked, and generously portioned. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and care put into each dish. We’re already looking forward to our next stop in Casa Grande and will definitely be visiting again!
The food has consistently been great quality and wonderful portions. The service is fantastic. The restaurant is very inviting and clean. There's always plenty of parking unless they are super busy
