Intentional Foods (IF Cafe & Market) — Restaurant in Mesa

First timers... I have no food allergies and think their food is amazing. I never thought allergen free food would be so good!

Let me just say this establishment deserves more than five stars. From the moment we walked in we just knew this was going to be a great experience. The place is clean! I mean from top to bottom. No dust or fingerprints. And they have a sink with soap out in the open... for anyone and everyone! Washing is encouraged.

So why did we go? GREAT QUESTION! Obviously, we were hungry. LOL

My wife is celiac and finding any place to eat that wont result in her being bed ridden is a gamble for sure and most often means we eat at home. There are so many pluses to eat at IF. If you or anyone you know has food allergies and feels like they can never go out to eat, pay a visit to IF. You just might have an emotional moment. Watching my wife light up and seeing her so happy while confidently enjoying her lunch was awesome! And in some way a relief. Lisa and Ned are wonderful people. They take the time to explain what goes into the prep of the food, the nutrients, and the back story as to why IF came to be.

Their menu offers so many delicous options. The flavor of their food is so good. Portions are spot on. Temperature is key and is perfect when it hits the table. Their scones are incredible! The sourdough bread, THE BEST! If you have a sweet tooth, they've got you covered.

This is a MUST GO TO place for sure!

Thank you Lisa and Ned for creating...

VEGAN FRIENDLY! I don't think I've ever made a review this long!

Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at "Intentional Foods," a café that not only serves delicious meals but also carries a significant and inspiring backstory. While I'd love to delve into the legend behind its inception, I believe it's an experience best discovered firsthand, adding a layer of intrigue to your visit.

For those following a vegan lifestyle, this place is a goldmine! It offers an extensive selection of vegan options, each more enticing than the last. Admittedly, my expectations were moderate upon my arrival; however, I was pleasantly surprised by the high-quality fare that exceeded my anticipations. "Intentional Foods" caught my attention purely by chance, but it has since won me over with its exceptional culinary offerings.

The café boasts not only great food but also a welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for dining out. Furthermore, they offer catering services and have ample space for hosting parties, making it an excellent choice for those seeking unique and affordable wedding food options.

My experience here was nothing short of fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal in a friendly environment. Whether you're vegan or simply a food enthusiast, this café is...

This is a super long review, so for the people who only read the first line or two THIS PLACE IS GREAT. 10/10 highly recommend. Try it out. For the people who read all the lines, this place is great! I had to say it twice. I have a super restrictive diet (no gluten, no dairy, no soy, among other things) so eating out is such a frustrating experience. That's why I was so excited when my mom saw this place on the news. I would say the best part about IF is the fact that I didn't have to research the menu to make sure I could actually eat before I went there for lunch, but the best part is also the food... and the amount of options I had to choose from... and the staff. So basically the whole experience was the best part. The food is delicious and the people are so warm and friendly. You can really tell that the owners are passionate about providing a delicious, easy, and safe experience for people who generally have to be so careful. They're careful for you. It's great! Plus food is way more delicious when it comes with peace of mind. And honestly, even if you don't have allergies/intolerance/restrictive diets, the food is seriously so good! I'm definitely putting this place on...
