Morning Squeeze

This place is just down right amazing. The wait is worth it! All the employees have a sense of urgency and I just feel like they care. Breakfast is phenomenal and so are the mimosas. I look forward to many more amazing breakfasts there.

Service was great! Cami was fantastic and will come back for sure! Food was great! Bacon bacon bacon!

I really wanted to love this place, but was shocked at the lack of service. My colleges and I, about 7 of us, waited over 75 minutes for our order without even a word or apology from the manager. When we arrived, there were only a few people in the place so I can’t even justify it being busy. When we finally asked to put our order in bags so we could get to the office on time, our server even apologized that her manager wouldn’t acknowledge us or their shortcomings. As a business owner, reviews are not a thing to take lightly and I know how devastating a bad review can be. I therefore write this in hopes that the folks at Morning Squeeze take this as a lesson learned and make some changes. I don’t want a discount and I don’t want free food. Simply, and acknowledgment of a mistake and give me a reason to try you again in the future.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere I love it here. .the only thing I didn’t like is the breakfast portions are kind of small for the price.

Fantastic… should be five stars.

We have been to Morning Squeeze several times. It has never disappointed. The food is always good, the service friendly and lively, and the place has a colorful uniqueness of its own.
Of the many places we have eaten in Old Town Scottsdale, this is one we keep going back to. Everything I have had there has been really good, but one of my very top favorites is their Scottsdale’s Finest Hash. It’s different. It’s delicious. It may well be the finest, a fair claim on their part.
Yes, we’re fans!

It was the perfect Sunday for Brunch. Location is great, the server Briana is really nice but food and overall attention was far from satisfying. Food took like 20ish minute to arrive, my Crossfit scramble came with a hair on it so I had to wait more time to get the replacement. Just one apology but no drink on the house or anything to compensate. Then the lady that clean the glass door sprayed us with Windex by accident. WTF?! All those chemicals went into our drinks, and again, just one simple sorry that didn’t fix anything. I’m not coming back.

I’m hemming an hawing between 2 and 3 stars … The food is A-​Ok. The service could use some polishing! I wish I could remember who served me this past Saturday, but she was seriously lacking with being prompt and attentive. Took a few minutes before she hit our table after seating, and she apologized. Then again when our food finally got to us via a food runner (again she apologized for the long wait… it was probably 20 – 25 mins), she didn’t come back and check on us until we were ready for to-​go boxes. Such a shame because my avocado didn’t come out with my breakfast burrito, and I really would have liked more of the green salsa (don’t bother with the red… too much smoky chipotle and the flavor balance is off). I also never got a refill on my water. My friend and I were at a two top on the patio, and after the breakfast rush around 1130am… Why the lack of attention?
I will say the classic bloody mary was on point. Its what saved this from being a 2-​star review. Perfectly spicy and not at all bitter. This is probably the only spot in town that doesn’t run any drink specials for mimosas or bloodies on wknds.
Morning Squeeze has a large menu, and offers vegan/​vegetarian options, which I appreciate. They have a protein shake called The Jolt that I’ve had in the past with almond milk and highly recommend if you’re looking for a morning boost!
Not sure I’ll put this in regular or serious rotation for brunch/​breakfast… It could be much better and much more appealing with a few tweaks and some better service training.

I am really surprised to see that this place doesn’t have a five star average! I just visited for my second time today, and I was just as pleased as the first trip!
The food is fantastic, and I love that they used local and organic ingredients! They also offer gluten free options, which is great! I have really loved both meals I’ve had, and the service has been fantastic!
The first visit was with my dog, Arya, and I loved that she was allowed on the patio. They also have heaters all along their outdoor patio, so my pup and I can visit in the winter too! They even have a menu for dogs, and Arya gulped down her chicken and eggs! Three people from the staff promptly came out to say hello to my pup too, which just makes you feel even more welcome!
I couldn’t say enough great things, and we will definitely be back!

DON’T EAT HERE!
Burnt food… Four times in a row? I’m the dumb one for giving this place too many chances. We even asked not to burn the food today and apparently they heard BURN IT MORE! :(I spoke with the manager Leslie today and she didn’t have any excuse except to say «we are really trying». And we had a coupon that said buy one get one free, after 11:30, and the hostess said it was only good at night… BUT THE PLACE CLOSES AT 3.
This place is just run by a bunch of clowns. I will never eat here again, and you shouldn’t either!

Nothing to complain about. Brianna was nice and kept out of my way. Forgot a coffee refill when my friend said, «A little more, please», but clearly when we asked a second time, Brianna didn’t hear the first request. No foul.
Food for my friend was excellent. I skipped, not hungry.
I’d visit again. Definitely within an hour of opening. Mid-​day, probably not.

I had the black and blue burger that was suppose to be medium but I think the take the black a little to seriously. The thing was beyond burnt. The waitress never asked if we needed anything. When I did ask for things, she forgot to bring them.
I don’t like writing bad reviews but I felt that I really wasted $ 42 here.

Started the New Year off right! Crème brûlée pancakes. Soft and fluffy on the inside, a ridiculously tasty sugary crispy brulee crust on the outside. You don’t even need syrup.
Coffee is great. Service was a bit slow, but it was packed this morning. Another great visit.

Super cute and nice ambience — but the food took forever. Over 45 minutes and no food… As I’m writing this review, the food is still not here. Servers made no offer of muffins or anything to acknowledge and pacify the lengthy wait.
We absolutely won’t be back, or recommend this place to anyone.

OK, could the real ‘morning Squeeze’ please stand up?
Ive been to your place 2 days in a row and have had vastly different experiences
Day 1: 5 star — fantastic breakfast burrito, solid performance on the coffee
Day 2: 1 star — cali benni — sloppy tasteless mush, coffee tasted like it came from a gas station.
Pleas be more consistent, you have a cool place, good waitresses, but whats with the inconsistency ???

Amazingly delicious and locally sourced food! My husband had the Biscuits N Gravy Breakfast which had 4 biscuits with country gravy and scrambled eggs with the country potatoes. I had the Foxy Lox Down Scramble which had smoked salmon, capers, red onion, and tomatoes. I also had the County potatoes which had medium sized chunks of multi-​colored bell peppers and onion. For drinks he had the mocha and I had the large Dirty Chai which was creamy and delicious. We sat on the dog-​friendly patio which was the perfect temperature for a hoodie mid-​December & thoroughly enjoyed people watching and the antics of the local birds. The décor is bright and cheery, yet the bathrooms are very dark and subdued which makes for quite the contrast! Thoroughly enjoyable experience which makes me wish that we lived closer!

I think Morning Squeeze in Old Town Scottsdale is a pretty cool place to have breakfast or lunch, and so does everyone else because it’s always packed.
So what makes Morning Squeeze cool?
The location.
Morning Squeeze is located right in the middle of Old Town Scottsdale on Scottsdale Road at 4^th Avenue half way between Indian School and Camelback.
The layout.
The main dining room opens up to the patio so every seat has a view of Scottsdale Road. This makes hanging out with friends and people watching super fun.
The menu.
Morning Squeeze combines traditional breakfast with fresh, organic, locally grown ingredients.
There is a wide variety of omelettes, eggs Benedict/​poached egg plates including the classic, Cali Bene (with avocado & asparagus), Pulled Pork & veggie patty.
There is French toast, crêpes and pancakes including a healthy choice: Power Protein Pancake with protein, natural oats & flaxseed.
Morning Squeeze has all sorts of unique takes on traditional lunch items too — featuring salads, sandwiches, burgers and more.
The menu is outstanding and it would be impossible to ever get bored eating here.
For a full menu, go to
The prices are very reasonable (most everything is between $ 6-​$ 12) and the service is decent.
Hours: 6:30am — 2pm Daily

I ⁵⁄₅ highly recommend Morning Squeeze.

Ever wonder why some people NEVER LEARN? Well, I have to look in the mirror and wonder that myself. After my last experience here I’m wondering why I would go back, but I’m a sucker for a memory. I really love the feel of this place. I loved the experiences and food I’ve had prior to the last few visits but this may be the 3^rd strike.
I met my AOB buds here for lunch. And, as fate would have it our experience this time was much the same as the last.
First, lets start out with a public service announcement to ALL servers who think it’s cool to memorize the customers order in your head. IT’S NOT. No one cares if you can remember ANYTHING. That’s not why the customer is at your place of employment. They are there to be served. All the customer wants is what they order. CORRECTLY. And when you don’t write anything down and the order comes out wrong and then you blame the kitchen the ONLY person who looks like a schmuck is YOU. Do yourself a favor and all of your past and future customers, WRITE ORDERS DOWN.
So, here’s how our lunch went. Our server was AM Bar. Yep, forgot her name which is a good thing for her. AM Bar is what it says on the receipt. Regardless, as I ranted above I’m sure it’s obvious that she did not write our orders down. We even told her that it would probably be a good idea because our friend S (female) loves to order stuff and then make so many changes it’s hardly recognizable as the original food she ordered. But, this server in ALL her wisdom thought she knew better and did NOT write anything down.
T ordered the Cali Bennie ($ 10). He also ordered the Ham Steak Side ($ 3.95). His Cali Bennie was fine he said, but the Ham Steak never materialized. By the time he was asked how everything was and he pointed out the missing item, he decided that he didn’t want it anyway and told our server to forget about it.
S (male) ordered the Breakfast Burrito with Red Sauce ($ 9.75) His burrito came with green sauce and instead of waiting and having them re-​fire another, he gave in and just ate the green sauce covered burrito. S said it was tasty but would have been better as ordered, not as delivered.
S (female) ordered the Caesar salad ($ 7) with oil & vinegar instead of Caesar dressing. She also ordered the dressing on the side. She also ordered a side of Deviled Eggs ($ 3). A pretty good deal for 3 bones you get 3 halves. S commented that they were pretty good. And guess what? Her entire order was correct.
I ordered the Build Your Own breakfast sandwich ($ 6.50). This really is an amazing deal, of course that only applies if they get it right. Which they didn’t, AGAIN. And this is where I kind of insisted that she write down the order because there is a lot to remember. But alas, she thought she was being neat or cool or something. In the end, she was just an idiot. I ordered the sandwich with fried egg, chicken, Havarti cheese on wheat bread and added Avocado, Tomato and Onion. My sandwich came with no chicken. No meat of any kind. Seriously? Our server was kind enough to bring me a side of chicken, which ended up being a grilled chicken breast, but I wanted the chicken on the sandwich, not a side plate. Plus, the chicken was DRY. The sandwich itself without the chicken was ok and was half gone by the time the chicken did arrive. I will note that the restaurant took my sandwich off the bill.
BAD service, 3 out of 4 mistakes, adequate food, good prices. 1.5 Stars.

This place exudes trendiness in all aspects. Awesome interior design, grass on the wall, vibrant colors and very cozy feel.
The wait is a little much usually but we called ahead and that was a fantastic option as we walked in, and sat down, Sunday at 10am.
The noise level is on par with a medium crowd concert and the employees are quite all over the place trying to get everything to wherever it’s going. Much like a bustling ant hill.
The servers are very personable and if you can have some patience you’ll get what you need. They definitely care about helping you, however if you don’t have a patience cap, go somewhere else.
We sat in a booth next to the kitchen and you could definitely see a ton of the breakfast tacos going out, which I would likely get next time. I opted to get the crème brûlée pancakes, which were… Good, however they lacked anything other than pancakes. I felt they were missing something, like you know– another taste of flavor of some sort. Was sort of bored and only ate half of it.
If it weren’t for our sweet waitress Briana, being, sweet. I would’ve rated the experience even lower however she made the wait, extreme noise level and the marginal food acceptable.

Not sure why the reviews for this place aren’t better.
I had a typical breakfast plate and my boyfriend got the breakfast burrito. Both were really good !
