Luci's at the Orchard

Fun spot with mostly outdoor seating. Was a challenging time finding a table during a weekday around 11, would not recommend coming for lunch during a workday (if you’re working). Food was all good, nothing to rush back for. Staff was extremely friendly, so service was definitely worth another visit. Coffee was sadly not good…I actually ended up dumping most of mine out- wasn’t the worst I’ve had but not enjoyable. I tried both the dirty chai and the cafe caramel. Some of our group got breakfast and some lunch. I do love that they offer breakfast most of the day! I’d be back to try something different and when I have more time.

This was a great restaurant experience over all. We had to flag staff down to get ice tea refills. The young bus staff was not responsive with repeated efforts to get their attention. They seemed zoned out. We ordered an ice cream sundae and waited an exceedingly long period of time for it to be served. We walked over to a server to inquire what happened to our ice cream sundae order. We learned that our server left for the day and failed to follow through with our order. We eventually received our dessert. The Deviled Eggs and Crispy Shrimp Cesar Salad was tasty. I hope to return and try other menue items.

Love the food & atmosphere at Luci's! It's a great, central spot for a day date or meeting up with friends. My acai bowl was perfect & the avocado toast is amazing (we do scrambled egg & no goat cheese).

The outdoor seating here is really nice and makes it worth a visit on its own. Luci's serves up delicious food and lattes, and the service has been great both times I went. If you like biscuits and gravy, this is a solid breakfast spot to check out.

Great place for brunch with friends & family. Tried the açai bowl (twice). It twas good. 👌 has an outdoor option for peeps with dogs to join in. Great menu, great vibe, & food 😋

Luci's at the Orchard on 12th Street is great for brunch. The staff is welcoming, the atmosphere is very chill, and the food delicious. Mist lines keep the seating areas cool, and they even have a water spout area for the kids! It's a great family friendly place to go.

The setup was a bit hectic. Order at the counter, squeeze through clutter to find one of the few seats inside. I got the biscuits and gravy but it came out cold and pretty underwhelming. Maybe it was just an off day. The vibe reminded me of La Grande Orange in Phoenix which I used to love, so I wanted to like it more than I did.

The tuna melt was poorly plated and the fruit was very not fresh. But nevertheless the bread and tuna were well made, with special emphasis on the bread, which was delightful. The provolone cheese was off but not enough to keep from eating the sandwich. The outdoor music was very annoying. Menu size was very large and leaves plenty of room for any taste. Reviews for other dishes ordered at my table Acai Bowl 3/5 (fruit was subpar and of low quantity and not enough to fill a stomach) Morning Run Burrito 5/5

Made an early morning stop for a breakfast with my grandson and it was awesome. Food was ready in 5 mins anthe French toast melted in your mouth and great avocado toast. Best place to stop for anytime of Day Love this place

I have been wanting to try Luci's for a while as I drive by it almost daily! The location was gorgeous and so cozy. They hat a cute shop with many goodies, books, knickknacks, jellycat like stuffed animals. They have a great big menu with a lot to offer. We ordered an iced peppermint matcha and hot dirty chai, as well as chilaquiles. The iced peppermint matcha tasted like fake powdered matcha latte and not like an actual matcha latte. (If you know, you know) the peppermint cold foam was very mild and the candy cane pieces on top just looked like sprinkles. The hot dirty chai tasted... odd and very unpleasant. I would definitely not recommend at all. It just tasted very artificial. The chilaquiles tasted ok to start, I wasn't the biggest fan of the pork they used in it. Towards the middle and end, it was just a bowl of soup. I've never had chilaquiles presented as soup with chips and toppings before. I wasn't the biggest fan as getting closer to the bottom of the dish it got increasingly difficult to eat and messy. I forgot to mention, it was also kind of pricy, it was about $40 after tip for 3 items. The service was nice! Everyone was sweet, once you get your number the staff has to hunt you down to find you. I'm definitely open to trying them again, maybe we just got everything on the menu that isn't that great. If anyone has better recommendations, I'm open to trying it out! I loved the location so I would really love to get to go back.

I've been here a few times and it's always a super cute and casual vibe with friends and family, I love the set up inside and the outside seating area. It has a nice homey feel! I could see myself having a cute work day here with my computer since they have wifi. On my most recent visit, I came with my family at ~9am on a Saturday and there were a lot of seats available, I've seen them get really busy though closer to noon. Water is self serve, there's one inside and out. It took a while for some tables to be cleaned but that wasn't too big of a deal for me, the service is usually good and they checked in frequently last time I went. For some reason though, there were a BUNCH of birds flying around the outside area, one had even landed on another lady's head LOLL (she was ok don't worry). Not sure if those birds are always there, maybe they're also attracted to the vibes, but just a funny thing worth noting! Prices were meh for some dishes, I had paid $15 for an avocado toast. The food isn't a standout for me, BUT my little sister LOVES their chicken tenders/fries and I agree with her, I think it's the seasoning they use (they also use it on their potatoes too). Overall a cute place, love to come here for a friend hangout or for a family gathering!

When I got to this spot, the setup felt a bit stressful -- ordering at counter, weaving through clutter to reach the scarce indoor seating. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, and while I could have overlooked the vibe since it reminded me of my old days eating at La Grande Orange in Phoenix, but the meal was cold and sadly underwhelming. I'm guessing it was just an off day for someone there. Biscuits and Gravy - C

Our food was delicious, fresh, and delivered quickly. The food came in large portions and the drinks were fresh and clearly made that morning. We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and it was packed and very busy. This is a restaurant where you have to find a table on your own, which meant that we had to wait a little for an open table. Once we got a table, it was really nice to sit outside, enjoy the sun and eat our lunch.

The ambiance of this place is very very cute. Very green and cute on the outside, perfect for those not so cold or not so hot days. I went with a friend who loves this place. You order at the counter and they gave you a number and bring food out to you. You will need to grab water and cutlery from inside. I ordered the tuna melt which seemed to be a popular option as I saw 3 other persons order it as well. It was good but needed a little salt which is an easy fix and a little less oil. Came with side of fries. The pumpkin pancakes were huggggee and did have good taste. Next time I will try the buffaloo salad that my friend had and maybe other menu items.

Here for company xmas party! The hummus, artichoke dip, guacamole & chips, assorted fruits and cheeses, were fantastic. Salads looked beautifully filling as did my French Dip sandwich. Great personality bartender in their private space, with fire pit and macaroons & cheesecake for desserts. Happy patrons on adjoining patio. Always a win to celebrate the holidays here.

Always such a serene place to come visit. I come here to grab a quick coffee or healthy juice and food. They have such cute things to purchase as well right at the front. Outside there's a lovely seating area and it is dog friendly. The food and drinks are delicious. The service is quick and friendly!

This is a cute spot that has a lot to offer! I just got coffee today, but I had their breakfast on a different visit and enjoyed it. In addition to a good menu, they also have a retail area and ice cream. There's some seating inside and a nice, large patio too. Sometimes there's a line but the service moves at a good speed.

Great atmosphere for fall brunch in Arizona! Plenty lots of outdoor seating with shade from canopies and trees. The pumpkin pancakes were soft and fluffy with great pumpkin flavor with fall spices. The chicken sandwich was well seasoned, crispy, and the biscuit was immaculate!

Really the ambiance and relaxation of this whole area is what makes it even better! We went for lunch after a day at the botanical gardens. My bf had the green chili burger-it does fall apart because it's so big, but it was good. I had the spicy chicken also really tasty. The fries are delicious! We had tea to drink- wish there was a bigger size, on a warm day you go through it so quickly! The patio area is pretty, plenty of covered seating and different size tables. We got gelato after. Definetly recommend for a relaxing breakfast or lunch!

Great spot to catch some breakfast in the desert. The food was good and the service was great! Overall great experience

In a very cute little shopping area with a couple shops, tons of outdoor seating, shelter, and dog friendly! However was very surprised walking in here after church to their incredibly explicit and crude display of "funny" socks. I didn't find it humorous. Or any of their other little trinkets. Very inappropriate especially for young kids. Their workers are all minors. The food was out quick. My chicken sandwich was delicious the chicken was very good. They gave me 2 filets because they didn't fill out the sandwich, which I thought was nice. $16 for my sandwich, fries, and pickle. Probably won't be back because it wasn't anything incredibly special but it was good

one of my favorite places in AZ! i love all of knick knack shopping (best spot to find gifts!), the food & the gorgeous outdoor patio. so many gluten free options & the service is excellent, clearing tables & bringing the food out to you.

Had an awesome experience at Luci's today! Ordering was a breeze, and it was busy on a Sunday afternoon. I love the open-concept layout and there is plenty of seating inside and even more available outside. The gluten free bread was a bit small but the sandwich itself was delicious; I ordered the turkey lurkey. Perfect weather, the vibe was lively and fun... a great place to get together with friends or family.

Our group of friends was looking for a fun brunch spot on a Sunday morning and came across Luci's. This is such a unique place as it's both a restaurant and small market. Once you take a peek at their menu, you can order at the counter and then snag a table inside or outside. Their menu is quite extensive and is also vegetarian friendly. I ordered a Iced Chai Tea Latte and the Egg Sammie on a Bagel. The drink was just ok, but the Sammie was delicious. I do wish entrees can with a side, what you order is exactly what you're getting so be aware of that. Staff was friendly and attentive and were on it when it come to making sure tables were clean and ready for patrons. The outside patio is absolutely beautiful and their market showcases a lot of fun food and gift options to take home.

The seating situation is a nightmare here. We have come here twice and since they don't have anyone managing the seating, you have people hanging out at tables (not eating or ordering), tables that are filthy for 15+ minutes after the last group leaves, and single patrons that take up a table meant for 4-6 people (this is the most glaring issue). I show up with a family of 5 and there is no seating because they have a single person taking up a huge table. A host/hostess would fix all these issues. If you enjoy waiting 30-45 minutes to sit down (on any day, including weekday mornings) this place is perfect for you.

I would give this a 3.5/5 stars but went for the four because the place itself is beautiful, service is pretty fast, and I like the random items in the store. The food is where I am disappointed. I had the acai bowl and it was just okay, nothing special. The bowl it came in was pretty and I appreciate the presentation but I would not order this again. My mom had the avocado toast and was not a huge fan, said there was a lack of flavor. She didn't have the cheese on it so I know that would've helped but she also didn't really like the eggs and she's a bigger egg fan. I like how the fruit bowl isn't just melon, there was pineapple and grapes. My dad had the gluten free French toast, and he said it was pretty good! Still nothing super special but the bread wasn't crumbly and dry which was nice. Obviously not as thick bread as the non gluten free version, but that's just gluten free bread. We came to the conclusion the food was "ordinary".

The beautiful, outdoor seating area is reason enough to stop by this lovely brunch spot. Luci's has delicious food and tasty lattes. I have experienced great service both times I've visited. If you enjoy biscuits and gravy, definitely give Luci's a try during breakfast!

I love Luci's. I usually go to the one in Scottsdale, but I was working in the area and checked them out a few times. This is a huge campus, they have a nice outdoor patio area. Plenty of inside dining, you can also order online and they have designated parking out front for to go orders, and they also have a drive thru!! I ordered my usual, a burrito bomb and a Toxin Boxin. I also tried their Iced Matcha Latte. Everything was delicious, Staff was friendly, and my order was ready when I got there. This location also has a little market too, with some fun gifts & things. Great location. When I'm in the area, I'll definitely be checking them out.

We arrived right at seven, just in time to have the morning to ourselves. The Arizona air was cool and quiet, and we sat outside under a lovely tent, sipping oatmilk lattes and fresh pressed juice as the day slowly came to life. My Spaniard omelette was perfectly cooked, full of bright, fresh flavors. My son's chocolate banana protein smoothie didn't last long, and neither did his Traditional Breakfast. While waiting, we picked up some sweet little toys for the nieces and nephews from Cutter's gift shop, a hidden gem of its own. The staff was warm and quick, making us feel cared for without ever feeling rushed. Luci's is a peaceful, charming spot, the kind that stays with you long after the last bite.

Fire sando, chill spot supper nice people would get a beer here. Probably one of the better spicy chic sandos i've had

The food is consistently tasty! The packages are our favorite. They are fluffy and the portion is large. Their teas and lemonade are also favorites if you are looking for something refreshing. The service is always pleasant and the ambiance is laid back and cozy. We love Luci's!

Stopped in for lunch at Luci's at the Orchard and was pleasantly surprised by how good the BBQ was! I tried the baby back ribs and the brisket--both were cooked perfectly, flavorful, and tender without being overly heavy. The portions were generous, and the smoky flavor really stood out. The atmosphere at the Orchard makes it an enjoyable place to relax, with a casual yet charming vibe. Service was friendly and quick, which made the experience even better. Definitely planning to go back and explore more of their menu!

This spot is awesome! I've come a few times and here are the reasons I'll return: the convenience of walking up to order, quick service, fresh juice, strong cold brew, dog friendly patio, fun place to bring guests or meet friends Price: very fair Food: breakfast/lunch variety & pasteries Drinks: coffee drinks, juices, & smoothies Service: super friendly staff Ambiance: relaxed, gift shop meets cafe Good for: quick meals, gifts, and drinks to go.

Lucis is such a hit or miss for me. I've been coming to Luci locations for ten plus years? The ambiance is usually the appeal here. It's got a bunch of cute stuff inside - good location - the orchard has a great vibe outside. However the food is just okay. And sometimes the coffee - the dirty chai has a weird medical test. Today it was good but my oatmeal was just okay. It's still a place I frequent but it's never like so good - we gotta go. It's more the vibe. Service is always good. And I'm also interested in the jelly cat collection.

How is it I've lived here for almost 10 years and have never been here? Well a dear friend took me for lunch today and we had a fabulous afternoon sitting outside while eating our meal. Ending that meal with dessert from the gelato shop! From coffee to sweets to breakfast and lunch this is the place to go. Parking can get a bit dicey but I'm looking forward to going again.

Fresh ingredients in freshly prepared, made to order entrees. Great selection of healthy meal options in a clean, casual, reasonably priced setting. Servings are a bit small, so a side dish is appropriate. Selection of smoothies as an alternative and they have a separate ice cream counter for a sweet treat. Very laid back with lots of covered, outside seating. The birds are very annoying, but to be expected given the way they are set up.

This is a nice spot for a leisurely lunch with friends. We sat on the patio and were comfortable visiting as long as we wanted. I ordered my burger cooked medium but it was done to a fare-thee-well, too hard to cut with a fork, and I can't say I enjoyed it.

The food here is delicious! Service is also very good. They are pleasant and go out of their way to help out. Mostly outdoor seating, which is nice in the mornings and cooler weather.

Busy day! This place is always popping on the weekends! I first visited in college for brunch with friends and fell in love with the cute items for sale and the outdoor patio area. I've seen several events or parties hosted here and is also a great spot to come to study during the weekends or mid day times. Food wise, slightly pricey but I'd say 6/10 delicious, but obviously depends on what you order. I have some dietary restrictions so I felt like I had a hard time selecting something without making modifications.

My friends and I decided to go to Luci's after a hike and it was honestly so worth it. We were exhausted, tired, and hungry. Both the food and the ambiance here was energizing and refreshing. It has great outside scenery perfect to sit and eat outside, but there is also space inside as well if that is to your liking. It was a very vibrant brunch experience with warm and welcoming service. The chilaquiles I ordered were flavorful, paired with crispy tortillas balanced with a satisfying drizzle of white sauce. I also ordered the chai latte but it was decent--pleasant but not exceptional. Staff service was great and easy to work with, they added to the relaxed, welcoming vibe. What makes this place unique is 100% the atmosphere. Being able to dine amidst such a large area of lush greenery and the orchard's natural charm made the experience unforgettable. Perfect for group gatherings.

We ordered from door dash the other day, it was good. Love their tuna melt! The only thing we weren't super impressed with was the chicken on the bowl my spouse had, it seemed like it was pre packaged and just tossed into the bowl, we were hoping it would be grilled. Otherwise, everything else was good. Citrus vinaigrette dressing was tasty. We will come back again.

Luci's has a cool vibe and sells random and fun items. Counter service, take a number and pick a seat inside the small eating area or on the large outdoor patio. The food arrived quickly. I had the avacado toast which was just meh... eggs had no taste and the ava was too chunky. My daughter had the açaí bowl which was nothing out of the ordinary. My husband had GF French Toast which was prob the best of our 3 meals. Nothing special here so will pass on eating here again.

This place is so cute! It had a big outdoor seating area with cute decor- perfect place to eat when the weather is nice. We got the tuna wrap and lean machine bowl. The foods were decent, the salmon in the bowl was a bit dry but it came with a decent amount of vegetables which was nice. The fries we got with the wrap were cold which was a bit disappointing. And because of the pickle they came on the side, made the fries soggy as well. We also got the pear lemonade but we did not like it.. Overall it was okay, may want to come back for other menu items

I really liked this place! If you go outside it feels like you're eating at wedding venue. Tons of greenery and water misters but bugs are pretty apparent. Birds were foraging too lol. I got the lean machine power bowl and it was delicious! Ingredients were fresh and it came out fast. You order at the counter and they bring it out. overall 10/10!

Get my morning protein here at least 3 days a week and love their merchandise when I need a quirky gift for someone. Also - play the Bingo!!

We liked the set up at Luci's at the orchard. there's area for the kids to run around, a little splash pad set up and there were tents and misters outside that helped cool off in the heat! The set up is place your order find a spot to eat. The line seems long when you get there but it moves fast. The team has things down to a T. The kids had a blast at the splash pad and the ice cream shop! Strawberry was the fav!

I've been wanting to come here forever and finally stopped in this afternoon for a quick lunch with a friend. It was 2pm on a Saturday and there were only a few people in line in front of us. We were able to get our orders in pretty quick, and the cashier was friendly and patient while we decided what to get. We both ordered sandwiches and poked around the little market inside while we waited for our food. Food came out pretty quick, but allowed us a few minutes to look at all their fun trinkets :) We opted to sit outside since it was such a beautiful day. They have tons of outdoor seating and i love their chairs. They have lots of string lights, so would be so cute at night. The *only* downfall of being outside was there were a lot of birds walking/flying around. We thought it was funny and didn't mind. If this is something you might be triggered by, perhaps check outside before deciding where you want to sit. Loved our experience and will definitely be back to try their Tavern (later hours?) as well as their ice cream and coffee!

This is our second time at this Luci's location and thus far we have had great food! We opted to try their new wrap, it's not even listed on their online menu yet. It had crispy chicken, tomatoes and bacon on a sundried tomato wrap. It was really good and full of flavor. The fries were perfectly crispy, no complaints at all. We also tried their cinnamon roll which was soft and doughy, with plenty of frosting on top. I am assuming it's made from Noble bread company since I saw the staff removing it from a box labeled with their name. Inside is very welcoming and the outside offers plenty of seating and a fun splash pad for the kids. Only off putting thing, for some reason this is the second time we walked into the restaurant and it smelled like sewage? Not sure what's with their pipes but they definitely need to fix it because the smell is horrible.

Cool interior when we got here, we sat outside and ate and had a great experience. The food was great for every meal we got and they had a ton of options to choose from. The workers were nice and knowledgeable as well.

Amazing winter venue with loads of outdoor seating. Watch out for the birds. Turn your back and they'll steal a French fry. Order your food at the counter inside. Wait for your drink then someone will bring your food. The birds love this place since people don't bus their tables and the birds get to clean plates before the busser arrives to clear it. Good amount of parking with beautiful landscaping that makes you feel like you're entering a secluded oasis in the middle of the big city. The Swiss style oatmeal and yogurt was excellent. Hearty enough for lunch but didn't leave me feeling stuffed. They messed up on my stepdad's sandwich but it was quickly replaced. The Dirty Chai iced was very good.

This location is so awesome - a little oasis in the city. Gorgeous trees, plenty of covered, shaded areas to sit outside, and a fountain/splashpad for the kiddos. Mocktails were tasty and beautifully crafted. Food was just...okay. I had high hopes after ordering the fig burger - I love fig, I love goat cheese, and I love burgers. The burger was really dry, sadly. The fries were ace though, and I swear that ketchup tastes homemade. I would order a big ol plate of those fries and call it a day next time. I want to go back in the fall/winter and enjoy the beautiful patio area, but I might stick with trusty fries or maybe eat before I go.

First time at Luci's and it was so cute! The Orchard itself has Luci's, a tavern next door and a small courtyard in the middle where you can eat and relax. Inside, you will find a little area of things to buy, I saw soaps and toys and different things available for purchase. You get in line to order your food and they bring it out to you. I went with a new item, The Gobbler, the sauce it had was interesting and it took me a while to get used to but otherwise, the sandwich was pretty good. Outside they had a mini version of the water tower where they had a mini library and I thought it was the cutest thing!

A great place to bring friends and family. A very friendly and community oriented atmosphere! The salads are very good. Their lemon bars (& other pastries) are amazing. They even have a cute gift shop with unique and funny gifts!

Luci's at the orchard is clean and very lush with the trees and all. The staff was very nice and service was fast. I had the house omelet and fruit . It all seemed very fresh. However I got some very unexpected news. I ate everything but if you asked me how it was, I can't tell you. I will have to back and have lunch there when I'm aware of what I was eating.

Food and coffee was amazing. SUPER busy on the weekend but worth the wait. Very casual quick serve place with lots of outside seating. Cute little shopping area. Parking was a bit of a pain.

This was our first visit here. Upon entering it was warm and welcoming. We enjoyed walking through the little store they had. A good selection. We usually share and get something different when going to a new place. Man O man. I'm not much of a fan of cinnamon but the amount they use on the Funky Monkey French toast is spot on. It wasn't overpowering. Moist and delicious. The Burrito Bomb was so good. The eggs were fluffy the salsa they serve it with was good as well. The coffee was great. The pumpkin pie sauce they have for the coffee is spot on. Would recommend coming here. I shall be back to complete the Bingo card. The staff was friendly and helpful. Coffee was made quickly. We sat down and didn't have to wait long for our food.

Visiting Luci's at the Orchard has me wondering why more places like this do not excite in Phoenix!?! The food and coffee options are amazing and such a great location. The location is the perfect setup for parents to visit with toddlers/younger kids and enjoy brunch without worrying about the little one(s). I love the splash pad set up and so does my little one. I've visited with my non- mom friends and they also love the location. Another thing I love, is the food comes out quickly. You order inside and provide a number and the servers will bring the food out once available-- drinks are picked up at the counter inside. Overall love Lucí's!
