Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Visiting Scottsdale Arizona from Rhode Island, my husband and I stopped in for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Quick service from friendly, efficient family staff. Eggs and hash browns perfectly cooked, light and fluffy large pancakes, good coffee. Chicago sports memorabilia on the walls reminded...us of years lived in that city. I admired the flan/ube duet in the case at the counter, a purple cake made from purple yams with flan topping. We were surprised with a slice presented to our table on the house! It was delicious and made in house by the gentleman chef. Lovely to be treated like family far from home.More

The staff is so friendly and wants to be sure everything is ok. Food is fresh and tasty. We’re from out of state but we’ll be back the next time we’re in Scottsdale!

Small cafe but was very busy. The food was excellent and the service was great. We had burgers and salads which were made fresh and very good. Price was moderate.

If you are sitting in a restaurant having ordered food and coffee and decide to sit and talk to your friend over said coffee for a little under an hour, do you think the owner has the right to tell you to go talk outside...or leave to keep business moving? That happened to me and my friend today. We weren’t even talking loud or really even there for any longer than how much time my family usually spends there. Disappointed.More

This little cafe was conveniently located next to my apartment complex when I lived in Scottsdale. I would frequent it while waiting for the bus to get to ASU or work. The prices were decent and the food was great. I think about this little...place from time to time and miss the cozy place. My family owns small restaurants and this was the closest to home that I had during my time in Arizona. I will be back during an upcoming visit planned.More

There is a sign that says they hope we come as guests and leave as friends, but clearly it's just wall decor. It's a very small place so impossilble to walk in unnoticed. The waitress there saw us walk in but did not even bother...to acknowledge us. We sat at the table and watched her serve 3 different sittings of customers who came in after us. They were all clearly regulars. We are very patient people but were fed up and started looking for another place to go. Then we were approached. The food was okay and not worth the wait. Will not return.More

Clearly one of the best places for breakfast I have experienced. We have now eaten there twice. Although I do not drink coffee, I am told by one of my traveling partners it is quite good - SMOOTH was his word. We have had eggs,...French toast, quiche, muffins, and fruit cup in various combinations. All great! The ham slice you get with ham and eggs is more generous than you might expect. In the last several years we have traveled quite a bit since we retired and this is my favorite for breakfast.More

From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed! The gentleman and lady waiting the bar and tables were incredibly helpful and friendly. The coffee is soooo good!!! Best of all, they brought us a carafe of it so we could keep refilling it ourselves....I had one of the daily specials: bacon and cheddar quiche, fruit cup and the mammoth muffin that went with it. They were all quite tasty and very filling. While my hubby had a made to order omelette with hash browns and toast that he really enjoyed. What a find!More

When I heard the server ask "yellow or brown mustard" it was about the last straw, this was already one of the best places I'd encountered in my travels. They have tabasco, espresso, milkshake blenders, GREAT biscuits and gravy. They served pancakes as good as...I make, and that's a large compliment. I was very impressed and really enjoyed talking to Milo, the owner. This is a great place for breakfast or lunch!More

We were staying down the road from the Temptations Cafe..and thought we'd stop and try it. Small.. quaint.. and wonderful!! It ended up being our daily breakfast stop. The staff was a bit out of sorts..trying to take the place of the owner who had...surgery.. and they did amazing. They did a wonderful job. .food was delicious and very reasonable..and if you left hungry it was your own fault. Hopefully we will be back!! .More

Small diner/cafe located in a strip mall. We stopped here for breakfast. Limited menu. The service was good but the food was just average. Nothing great, everything was just okay.

We met friends here for a late breakfast. It was a good place as they had a good breakfast menu, excellent coffe, and didn't rush us in & out. Our waitress was super friendly. The omelet was delicious & the home fries extra tasty.

My husband and I ate breakfast at Temptations Cafe. It was a small restaurant. Only about 8 tables, bar seating and small patio. The Good - the staff is very friendly and attentive. My husband's coffee cup was never empty. I thought the food was...very good. I can't eat gluten/wheat, so I ordered the eggs Benedict (eggs on top off hash browns instead of English muffin). My husband ordered the southwestern scramble, but thought there were too many potatoes and not enough chorizo. The Bad - seemed to be a little miscommunication between the cook and one of the servers. Maybe one of them was new.More

Don't know - didn't see any dogs when we were there or remember seeing a dog friendly sign. They do have a very nice covered patio in the back that they might let you have a dog on.
