This cozy cafe in Phoenix’s Arcadia neighborhood serves up fresh and healthful eats to its customers who return for the spot’s fast, friendly service. Order your sandwich, salad or breakfast item at the counter, then wait for it to be delivered to your table inside or outside on the flower-covered patio. Try selections such as the vanilla-flavored Belgium waffles, cinnamon-swirl French toast or one of more than a dozen sandwiches. The Rueben-esque ($6.25) contains corned beef and sauerkraut on marble rye. Early birds can head to the cafe at 5 a.m. Mondays through Fridays.
