Alo Cafe

Wonderful, homemade food in a quaint setting tucked away in Old Town. Service is also consistently good.

FOOD: 4.5/5COFFEE: 4.5/5VIBES: 3/5SERVICE: 3/5VALUE: 3.5/5 The food was delicious (aside from the blueberry muffin, which was dry). I really, really loved my hatch chile omelette and potatoes, and I loved the house made ketchup that they offered the table. I also really, really loved the house baked raisin bread - so good! I enjoyed the coffee as well! The espresso roast is on the darker side, which I didn't mind. The cafe is very small and not super vibey or aesthetic, but the outside patio is cute and spacious for nicer weather. Our service was a bit slow and inattentive, but helpful and friendly. I felt it was a bit pricey for everything overall, but I really enjoyed the food and would definitely come back.

This was a cute quaint spot in the back of an house office with a really cute outside seating area. The inside seating area was small but sufficient. The menu left you salivating and in somewhat of a quagmire trying to choose. I hate now that I did not get that Belgian waffle... however I did get the Chi-town omelette and it did not disappoint. It had a little kick to it. The potatoes came out almost raw but they quickly rectified the situation with some hash browns. ALL WAS WELL.....

Sheena who greeted me as I walked in and served me was wonderful! I heard great things about Alo last week by someone traveling thru Scottsdale and it's rare I hear about a coffee shop I haven't heard of so popped in. It's off the beaten path and has a cozy, casual vibe! Intimate inside, dog-friendly patio outside. Sheena made me a Nutella iced latte off the menu by request! So awesome and absolutely delicious! I ordered a BLT off the lunch menu, added cheddar cheese. Great option! Recommend popping in your support this lovely cafe.

Alo Cafe in Scottsdale is truly a hidden gem worth discovering. Tucked away from the bustling streets, this cozy cafe offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The menu boasts a variety of delicious options at very reasonable prices, making it a great choice for budget-conscious diners (who still want to eat in a Scottsdale - so budget friendly for the area) without compromising on quality. However, the real star of the show is their homemade raisin bread--it's an absolute must-try!The bread is freshly baked and has the perfect balance of sweetness from the raisins and a hint of cinnamon. Whether you enjoy it on its own or as part of a breakfast or brunch dish, you'll be impressed by its soft texture and delightful flavor.Aside from the raisin bread, Alo Cafe offers a range of tasty dishes for both breakfast and lunch seekers! The friendly staff adds to the overall positive experience, providing attentive service without being overbearing. There is both indoor and outdoor seating tho the tables are smaller - (except the picnic bench which is super cute)While Alo Cafe may require a bit of effort to find, the effort is undoubtedly worth it. Whether you're a local looking for a new favorite spot or a visitor exploring the area, Alo Cafe is a hidden gem that deserves to be on your culinary radar.

I love to find these little off the beaten path gems. Found this place from Yelp and so glad we went. It's small, quaint, and peaceful. Tucked away from the hustle, the service was prompt and warm. We had the Monte Cristo and an omelet, both were good. At the suggestion of another reviewer, we tried the raisin bread and its was hands down, incredibly wonderful. Texture and flavor, nailed it. My coffee was burnt and way overpriced but hey, small world problems. Still thought this was a cool find.

Came here during superbowl weekend with as old coworker. Was the closest spot to our air bnb and good spot to check out. Small space but we got seated not long after coming in. Went with the chilaquiles which was good and friendly staff and attentive. I would defintkey come back if in area.

If I lived in Scottsdale, this would be my go-to brunch spot. It is delightful, tucked away from the hustle and bustle in a cute little brick cottage with a lovely patio. And the food-- wow. Delicious. I had the honey herb bramlet and it was just as good as I hoped it would be. Triple cream brie, herbs, and a drizzle of honey? Say no more. I got the horchata iced latte and a mimosa, which were both so good. If I weren't gluten free, I would have gotten the Estonian Dessert Bread- my friend ordered it and it looked absolutely amazing. The service here is super friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed brunch at Alo Café and hope to come back sometime.

Don't spend your money here. I called and asked for a manager. I was interested in applying for a job, ironically. The owner answered the phone and when I asked for a manager, (unbeknownst to me that he was the owner) he rudely yelled in the phone "About what?!" Kind of weird to exhibit that behavior at all. let alone as an owner. Glad I dodged that bullet. If this person can be a nightmare over the phone, I can only imagine what it's like working for him. No thanks!

Great food and good portions.Service was slow, but worth the wait as food was very good.
