Ginaveve's Market Place & The Main Street Bean — Restaurant in Safford

I have waited years for a place like this to come to old-town Safford. The marketplace itself arrived 10 years ago, however the coffeehouse, bakery, and restaurant side of the business is just 5 years-old. The Main Street Bean coffee cafe part of the marketplace served up a Breve Latte that was perfect and the coffee itself was outstanding. The staff is very friendly and has definite expertise in whatever may be their task.

This is the place where locals come to relax, chat, and purchase a nice sandwich and coffee. Every town has one, however Ginaveve's has so much more. Gourmet Balsamic vinegar tasting bar, high-quality olive selections, small wine and beer bar, ice cream, salad bar, and all sorts of mementos and clever signs as gifts, and a fabulous outdoor gazebo right at the corner curb complete with a large shade tree and street view of all the action.

This will be my go-to place every time I pass through Safford or come to stay awhile at the local hot springs resort, Essence of Tranquility. It's truly a one-stop shop for your daily cafe, gift, and...

We split the savory crepe—sausage, egg, potatoes, and “green chile.” It was huge, but honestly pretty bland. Same goes for the salsa. The green chile tasted like the canned kind, which is a letdown considering we’re in the Southwest.

Only coffee we tried was a regular black coffee. It was fine. Nothing exciting.

The patio was lovely, totally shaded, though I did end up in the sun for a bit.

All in all, it was just OK. I’d give it another shot, mostly because the place itself is cute and the menu has potential—but I’m not in a...

They have light delicious crepes AND gluten free authentic French crepes. Sundays only!! 8am til 1pm. You can choose your own ingredients or from their select crepes menu. From Smores crepes, bananas with caramel and sweet cream plus many more. Mine was sweet cherries with sweet cream filling and fresh whip cream on top.
