Cafe 25:35 - Buckeye, Arizona

Great food at this random cafe in the middle of Old Downtown Buckeye. Getting here is not too easy and parking is sort of tough. The restaurant is very small and gets very crowed really quick. Food is excellent but staff could do a bit of a refresh on customer service skills and be a little friendlier. This restaurant closes early.. and I mean early so you have to come here fairly early during the day before 2PM. If owners are watching this, please open a little later. Maybe close at 4PM? That would be very helpful.

We had breakfast. The service was okay. We had to ask for refills. No one checked with us after food was served. The eggs and sausage was good, but the pancakes were flat and chewy. Would have preferred hash browns but only offered home fries which had a seasoning that I didn’t care for.
The menu did not have prices listed which I found irritating. The place appeared to be an upscale cafe but was disappointing.

Visited Cafe 25:35, apparently named after some Matthew verse in the Bible (I guess they forgot the part about being kind to strangers). I was greeted by the darker-haired girl in glasses, who I'm pretty sure could give lessons on how to make you feel unwelcome. Her hospitality was so bad, it felt like she was auditioning for 'Grumpy Waitress: The Musical.'

She was tucked away in the back corner, muttering seat assignments to herself like she was casting spells. No wonder no one could hear her - maybe if she moved her lips a bit more or, you know, actually walked up to greet people, it would help. Instead, she just shot dirty looks at the poor souls trying to figure out where to sit, like she was practicing for a glare-off competition.

The food? Eh, it was okay - if you're into paying premium for mediocrity. But hey, at least the ambiance was unintentionally hilarious. If you're looking for a place where the service is as warm as the Arctic winter and the prices are as inflated as my expectations for kindness, then Cafe 25:35 is your spot.

Overall, I'd give this place one star, but that's only because their coffee was somewhat drinkable. Maybe they should rename it to Cafe 25:36; "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor,' but here, we just give you looks that could kill.

About a 30 to 40 minute drive Southwest of Phoenix. Is this town called Buckeye. I've been in Arizona my entire life and I have never been tob Buckeye so my wife and I decided we would go and explore it. I found this restaurant on Yelp and it looked good. Apparently they stopped serving breakfast at 11:00 a.m. so we had to go with lunch items. I had the chicken salad croissant and it was okay. I really think it needed some lettuce and tomato on there. My wife had the bacon avocado sandwich and that was pretty good. We got sweet potato fries that were freshly cooked and delicious. I would recommend this place.

Café 25:35 is a great restaurant. I had heard of this restaurant for quite a while I just had not been out there yet until now. The first thing I noticed when I walked into this establishment was how immaculate it is. We were met with the kind of friendly host who status at our table. Then we met our server who is very kind of friendly and explain to us the menu since we have let her know we have not been there before. We ended up ordering the JPQ bowl which was some home fries topped with three over easy eggs, savory housemade sausage and cheddar cheese and a Chorizo omelette. The food was full of flavor it was delicious I was very impressed especially with the flavor of the home fries. We also ordered a couple of the classic lattes that were good. The service was awesome, the food was delicious and the experience was awesome. I highly recommend this Cafe

If I could give this place zero stars I definitely would. It is unfortunate that I had wanted to try this place just to be received with the worse customer service I ever experienced. I believe our server was Avery and not once did she check if we needed anything after our order was taken. My sister had even asked her if she could put it an iced coffee order and Avery told her to hold on and never took her order after that. Perhaps it must have been a prejudice thing. Also, the avocado and lettuce that was used for my BLT sandwich was incredibly old. The worst place ever. Please do not come here.

My son and I stopped here for lunch as I used to really enjoy their breakfast. However, I found both our lunch meals to be pretty bland. The grilled cheese was very underwhelming and the burger was just ok. The best part of both meals were the sides. The kettle chips and sweet potato fries were tasty.

Decided to go to breakfast with my husband today. He chose the restaurant...I was apprehensive until I looked at their menu. I got the Crossant Sammy and my husband got the cibatta Sammy. I subbed mine with bacon. Both sandwiches were amazing! Tje cibatta bread was so soft and buttery as well as the crossant. I got a side of homefries too and let me just say they were the crispiest, homefries I have ever had! They were welle seasoned and crispy but not over done. They were delicious! We also got an order of biscuits and gravy. Having been raised in NC im very picky when it comes to my biscuits and gravy, this was middle of the road but still good. I also got a cookie to go and it was fabulous! I highly recommend this place!
