Cafe in Phoenix
Showing 23 - 44 of 57People who’ve lived here a long time remember when this little Cotswold cottage was the home of the Willo House, and many of us were sad to see that long-time favorite lunch spot go away. That is, until we stopped in to eyeball the warm, friendly, and chic breakfast-and-lunch caf
Ooh, good. That’s all we can say, our mouths stuffed with buttermilk pancakes topped with fresh blueberries, seven types of Belgian waffles and oven-baked apple pancakes. Classic pigs-in-a-blanket are familiar friends, too, fashioned with Hormel links and topped with tropical syrup.

It’s our own little Whistle Stop Cafe, set in the heart of an industrial park/salvage district. Hard to find but worth the effort, this clean, quaint, country-style truck stop tempts with down-home chili, meat loaf, chicken-fried chicken, and amazing breakfasts (delicious biscuits and gravy, huge omelets, pancakes).
