Street Cafe and Coffee Lounge

Amazing! Found this place on Unilocal and decided to go grab a coffee… Later found out they donate food and time to charitable organizations in the valley!
Good people, great service, quality flavored that are brought out but their foods! This place is a «win win!»

I came here for a private dinner event and it was amazing. I was unsure what to expect and was blown away. The food was amazing and it supports a great cause. My hat’s off to the chef and volunteers.

I don’t know why this place isn’t packed everyday the food is fantastic, the girl behind the counter is extremely nice and the prices are right… of you haven’t tried this place you should.

First time here. It’s a great concept with great cause, and a great husband and wife team! We wanted to order everything on the menu, but decided on the Alpha Omega and the Crunchy Chicken BLT. Both DELICIOUS! The menu is always changing, and can’t wait for our next visit there!

Best breakfast deal in town! $ 5 gets you any breakfast on the menu (and they serve it all day) and you can add a coffee for just $ 1 more. This was my first visit and I ordered the Southwest Benedict which was crazy delicious and super hearty and came with a side of also great hashbrowns (and I do not take my breakfast potatoes lightly). The service was also excellent– friendly and quick. Plus, the best thing is that the café is a non-​profit, so all the proceeds go towards alleviating hunger in Arizona communities. I’ll definitely be back and hope to see you here!
PS– they also have a lunch menu that follows the same flat price model ($ 6 for any dish on the lunch menu).

I rarely post reviews. But this really plucked a nerve. I ask the barista if they had wifi which she said yes. I ordered lunch and a coffee. I typically order if I expect to be awhile using an establishment’s wifi. By the way, I have wifi at home but I wanted to be out.
I set up to connect to their wifi; however, it would not connect. I ask the barista if they were having issues. She said yes, it is slow today. Oh you knew this prior to me asking. I then ask if she can reset the wifi. She comments she is unable to because it will send the printer haywire or something to that nature.
So I spent my money here then had to pack up and go spend it somewhere else as well. Why do people go to coffee shops? First to use their wifi or have a friendly chat, second coffee or tea.
The fish tacos were delicious.

Food was amazing. Now that we got that out of the way, you must go here. The mission of these people are to feed children who have otherwise been forgotten. I spent $ 20 on breakfast and they have the means that can feed 5 children for a day for that amount. Help them in there calling to feed the children of Arizona who are in desperate need of a meal. A simple meal that to us is just a time of day but to child in need is a lifeline and presents a person that they otherwise feel looks them over and shows them they are valued and they have worth. Truly blessed to be reminded there is more to the Christmas season and life in general as we often become overwhelmed with our own problems. With love

Hands down some of the best breakfast in town! I had the three cheese omelet and a black and white coffee. It was a large portion and absolutely delicious! That’s not even the best part… every time you eat here you’re feeding a hungry kid! What? Amazing food for you and a kid? I’m in!

Rad chick at the front. Cool spot. Support the community! Delicious food and coffee for $ 6.50. Yup. $ 6.50 porkchops and eggs. YUM

I’ve had Street Café bookmarked for a couple of weeks, ever since reading a positive review by one of my Unilocal friends. I was surprised to find that Street is literally in the same strip as my current area favorite, Maverick Coffee!
Based on the pictures and previous reviews, I knew I wanted to swing by for a warm mug of coffee and a breakfast sandwich. The food, in particular, looked tasty and I was excited to try. I chose this morning for a visit.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Upon entering Street Café, I was warmly greeted by a woman who introduced herself as Lisa. Turns out, she’s one of the owners. When Lisa learned that this was my very first visit, she made a point of getting to know me.
Lisa also took the time to tell me more about Street Café. She told me how the business was in place as a non-​profit with a mission to help feed the hungry and teach important life skills. I had no idea of this before she told me and was VERY impressed by the concept.
Lisa then introduced me to their menu. They keep pricing simple: just $ 5 for the breakfast menu items, $ 6 for lunch. She was also excited to show me a fresh batch of organic Guatemalan coffee beans recently roasted on-​site.
Naturally, I ordered a pour-​over of the Guatemalan and paired that to a breakfast sandwich (the Alpha & Omega Breakfast Burger). My total came to just $ 6. I then found a shaded seat just outside in the European-​style café alley.
FOOD & DRINK IMPRESSIONS
It was not long before Lisa was delivering a steaming blue mug of fresh coffee to my table. The brew was very tasty, especially for being a first run at on-​site roasting! (Hopefully they still have it available when you, dear reader, decide to stop by for a coffee!)
The food was delivered shortly after the coffee and it was very tasty. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the sandwich included a side of potato cakes. (As much as I enjoyed the sandwich itself, those potato cakes were the stars of the show. Wow! So good!)
Once I had finished my food, Lisa surprised me with an icy cup full of an experimental cold brew coffee, explaining that she and the chef (her husband) would love my opinion of it. (My opinion was that it was one of the most unique and flavorful cold brews I’ve ever had.)
CONCLUSION
I took my time in the cool air of the alley, reading and writing and listening to music. I couldn’t have felt more at home. Everything from the ambiance to the outstanding service experience to the delicious and fairly-​priced food MORE than exceeded my expectations.
If you haven’t been to Street Café yet, I cannot possibly recommend it highly enough. I have never met more dedicated and caring business owners. I left today feeling like I had made new friends, and I will definitely be back — frequently.
Thank you, Street Café, for being such wonderful hosts! And thank you for all that you do for your community-​in-​need via this inspiringly creative non-​profit concept. I’ll be sure to send people your way every chance I get!

I can’t enough about the people behind this café. The food and coffee are excellent and the mission even more so.

Not a bad place. Very friendly staff with very affordable drinks and food.

This place is great for a long study session or meeting up with friends. The barista was so nice and welcoming! My study buddy and I were there for several hours, and we were even offered free coffee after we’d already finished our ordered drinks. I like that the pricing is easy to follow ($ 5 for breakfast, $ 6 for lunch), and that all of the proceeds support local charity work. I will have to try something to eat next time as the food that went by looked great!

Wanted to support the cause but wasn’t sure what to expect in regards to the food. I was pleasantly surprised. There is a variety of lunch and breakfast items as well as delicious baked goods. Prices are extremely affordable. Best way to describe the location is the SW corner of Shea and Scottsdale, next to Ernie’s

Found this on Unilocal and wondered in during lunch hour. Great food at a great price! Will be back:)

Non profit café. All profits, yes all, go towards giving back to Kitchen On the Street. They have this down really well. The coffees are truly delicious. Have some original Flavors like Jedi Fizz. They serve breakfast and lunch. I had a panini and my husband had a western omelette. My panini was good but my husband’s omelette was to die for. Absolutely delicious and plan to get the next time I’m in. I like that they change up the menu each week. Some favorites stay in the menu. They also have FRESH pastries for that quick grab and go. The people who work there are polite and courteous. Vey good sense of humor! The only complaint I can think of is the seats are not very comfortable. So staying to chat with friends or to work on the laptop is not an option for long periods of time.

Awesome little place for good food at the best price. Plus a portion goes towards children in need. A win win and the employees are extremely friendly.

Stopped in for my daily dose last week, Street café had friendly staff and knowledgable coffologist. Thanks for the fresh grounded coffee and also thanks for answering all my questions. Looks like this place was rather new but already had a good vibe going on, I’ll be back next time I’m out in the East valley.

Great place to meet a friend for coffee, have a work meeting/​lunch or place a catering order and take it back to the office.
Terrific coffee, great food and awesome concept. The profits go to feed hungry kids… turning hunger into hope.

NON PROFIT COFFEE and LUNCH PLACE!!!
I came to support the cause, and left impressed and well fed.
Support Kitchen on the Street’s mission of turning hunger into hope one child at a time by visiting Street Café & Coffee Lounge (10 435 N. Scottsdale Road) between 7am-​2pm. Breakfast = $ 5 Lunch = $ 6; average coffee is $ 2.50. Every purchase turns hunger into hope!
They change the menu often but I had chicken taco sliders. FANTASTIC!!! and only $ 6!
This place is a little hard to find because you cannot see it from the street. You have to go into a business complex but then it’s easy to find.
I wish this place stayed open unitl midnight, but maybe in time when they get busy enough to hire more staff.
Shawn, the guy who helps run the place is one of the nicest, coolest people I know. He has so much love to give– he adds good energy to every thing he serves.
I will be back, Street café!
