Spoonz Cafe

If you are African-American, do not go to this place! They will poison/tamper with your food and make you sick! They did it to me! I was sick for a week after eating there which was the last straw for me! I know for a fact they tampered with my food because I have never gotten food poisoning or sick but the last time I ate their food, later on that evening I vomited and was sick for a week straight! Mind you, I was a regular however I noticed the customer service decreased and other subtle actions that I paid attention to until the last straw which was them poisoning/tampering with my food and making me sick! Anytime I would order online to pick up lunch to avoid waiting to get my food, my food was never ready when I would come to pick it up. In fact, they would not even start on my food until I got there to pick it up which defeated the purpose of me ordering online. Anytime I would pay with my card, the manager wouldn't hand me my card even if my hand was out to get it back, she would just place it down on the counter. Very passive aggressive! Avoid getting your food tampered with and getting sick, do not eat from this place!

Good for a quite freshly made panini. A few vegetarian options are available.

Best breakfast and coffee shop in downtown Phoenix! I've worked downtown on occasion for years and spoonz has always been the best. Awesome breakfast sandwich on whatever kind of bagel you'd like. Great coffee and hot beverages too. Friendly efficient workers as well

Chicken and green chile quiche was small but good. There is Wi-Fi here for working. An unimpressive place in general.

This is in response to the review placed around 3 months ago by a user named R, claiming her food was deliberately poisoned because of her skin color. Absolutely ridiculous false claim. I worked at spoons during that time and the friendliest conversations i witnessed between the managers and customers were with people of color. Around 25% of the regulars are African American. I would not have stood for any signs of discrimination or racism. This is a person who ordered online after being told the system was down. They now assume their sickness is from spoonz even though R eats at about 2 restaurants every day. It's pathetic how lies about racism and claims of tampering are this persons way of complaining about their own shortcomings. You know who you are R, and you know you are completely lying. If the manager was black, I'm sure your comment would be different. Stop spreading racism.

I love this place. Somehow they avoid acceding to the idea that everyplace downtown has to cost 2x - 3x as much as it really should. Though this last time I splurged and added salmon to my salad, but it was totally worth it.

Best quiche on the planet - I promise you! Very kind and super friendly staff Service is often a bit slow when patrons can't make up their mind on what to order. They really need more than one order-taker up front to speed things up. I watched a few people walk in then out because of the Long line So many things on the menu that maybe that's why it takes people so long to order. Nice outdoor patio with beautiful mural near-by. BTW - puppers loved the doggie treats (4H fundraiser).

Their paninis are fantastic. I had the Portabella Panini which was full of flavor and the mushrooms were cooked just right. The combination of sauces made the sandwich 5/5. Upon picking up my order their fryer was broken, so instead of getting fries I was able to substitute for two of their homemade cookies instead. The peanut butter cookie was delicious.
