Miss Phay Cafe — Restaurant in Davenport

The vibe here is amazing. The cafe is decorated really cute. It has a very modern feel. The bright colors make it feel very welcoming as well. It is also wheelchair accessable as far as a ramp to get into the building and inside to the second room as well. But parking is difficult as you have to park right on Brady and there are only a few parallel parking spots.

The menu is a code you can scan to pull it up on your phone online. They do also have paper menues if being tech savy isnt your thing. It is a decent sized menu for a cafe type setting. It offers Lao, Thai and a few Vietnamese dishes. As well as a bakery type case with a few specialty dessert items.

The food is good. It is presented well and although not huge portions, they are adequate. I would say this place is moderately expensive. It is similarlly priced to other Thai sit down restraunts in the area, maybe towards the higher end of that range. My kids loved the chicken fried rice which they split. It included a few specifically Asian vegetables like bok choy that they were familiar with as well as typical vegetables. I ordered Pad Thai and it was very tasty if a bit on the sweet side. My only real complaint was how the chicken in the Pad Thai was cut against the grain. It would have gone from good to amazing had it been cut differently. My wife ordered a spicy dish made with pork belly and really enjoyed it as well.

The cafe also offers coffee and tea drinks as well as some Asian alcohol items. The staff was friendly and invited us back again. It was a very pleasant place to have...

When I’m sick , I’ve always had a taste for pho . Especially the broth . I order the traditional pho through Grubhub . Now as far as my order being efficient and ready to be picked up by my Grubhub driver , that was great time ! I planned to share with my three year old as I usually do when we order pho .. the place I normally order from , they do not deliver is why I tried Miss Phay’s Cafe . Anyways , for $18 , the portion was horrible . Had maybe two pieces of steak . Very rubbery tasting meatballs . And pieces of brisket that were half chewy fat . I didn’t have the option to not have those crunchy sprouts with my noodles they were tossed in when I tossed my noodles in . There was just too much crunch in every bite for my liking . Usually when I’ve ordered pho from maybe three other places in Davenport , they’ve always given me everything on the side . Even the meat was on the side not even added yet . And a good portion too . Now I haven’t tried anything else from this place . But the pho was disappointing . I’ll stick with California Pho on Kimberly Rd until this place makes their portions a little bigger for the price . Trust me , I’ve had pho from every place around the Quad city area including traditional pho made in a Vietnamese home as my son is half Vietnamese it’s a very popular dish at his dads house . So I know what I’m talking about as far as pho goes . I was thinking it’d be great...

Went to place an order for dinner with coworkers before going back to work. I ordered food to go and waited about 45 minutes only to be told that there was confusion in the kitchen and that their printer paper had run out. I was patient, all of my coworkers got their food but one co-worker stayed to dine in and I asked if they could bring my order back to work. They agreed. Another 30 minutes went by and no food. They canceled my order, refunded me my money and I figured I’d go back after work because I was left with the craving, and everyone said it was delicious. After work I went back and it was 15 minutes to closing time. I heavily debated ordering because I didn’t want to be that guy, but I thought “the customer, right? Surely they’ll understand what happened”. I walked in and the bartender immediately recognized me. I asked if I could order again, they were hesitant in confirming and went to ask if they could make my food, knowing prior what had happened. The employee came back and told me that they had already closed the kitchen and that they wouldn’t be able to make me my food.

I tried to disregard the initial encounter because we’re human and things happen. Oh well, that’s life. VERY...
