Little Mesa Cafe has been around a while. The young man who waited on us was very proud of the fact that his grandmother founded the place in the 80s. He's a natural salesman with a bright future, for certain. He was an absolute delight to have as a server! There was a dead giveaway that the food was going to be be good, even before we walked in the door... We noticed that almost no one in there seemed to be under retirement age, so we knew we were in for a treat. Little Mesa Cafe rose to the occasion and didn't disappoint. Go with the soup. Go with the special of the day, go with a menu classic, regardless of what they are. They won't steer you wrong!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Little Mesa Cafe is a true family-owned local gem. Some friends and my son treated me to breakfast here, and it turned into one of those mornings you really appreciate. I had the ham and cheese omelette and added green chilies 🤤 — absolutely delicious. Fluffy, flavorful, and cooked just right. My son ordered the country breakfast, and it was a classic, hearty plate with generous portions. Everything came out hot, fresh, and clearly made with care. You can really feel that this is a family-owned place. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and relaxed — the kind of spot where you’re not rushed and you feel at home. Great food, great people, and a genuine neighborhood vibe. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend supporting this local Mesa favorite.
I liked the liver and onions, the hamburger vegetable soup and mashed potatoes both get a thumbs up too. Thanks crew!
The Ham n Yams meal was fabulous 👌. The ham was perfectly prepared. The pineapple slice was not a cheap slice from a can. The greenbeans were fresh and yummy, again not from a can. The Yams were perfect too. They were so light, fluffy and full of flavor. The server was great. What ruins the visit is the boy on the register. I inquired about a Veteran discount as I am Retired Military and some places have it. He became arrogant as if I asked for free. That wasn't the case. I live in Anthem so not sure if or when I will be back.
Had some of their dinner options and dessert. My favorite was the New England clam chowder and the beer battered fish. This cafe is amazing, great service , AZ locally owned , such a sweet and hard working owner. Served us herself. Grateful to have eaten here. Recommend 10/10 please check it out if you are wanting to try an AZ local restaurant.
