Probably the best place to eat in Casa Grande! If you're looking for quality food that's reasonable priced then look no further, stop by and give them a try you will not be disappointed. Some of my favorites are the coconut shrimp, a chi wa wa burger( topped with green chile & jalapenos) and the club. Honestly everything I have tried there is fresh and flavorful. Atmosphere is good and the staff is excellent!

Awesome atmosphere.. Love the Autism support. I recommend Nora's chicken raspberry salad!
(4)Debbie Y.
A delightful spot for fresh, imaginative food. I LOVE Nora's raspberry chicken salad and it's just one example of their delicious food. They also cater and it's always a hit!

My hubby was sure I would be hungry before getting to Tucson from Phoenix and said to pick out a place in Casa Grande. I was able to check yelp for assistance and chose Creative Cafe. What a great find. Jeremy T. was on the spot with the fact that there is a lot of heart in the the establishment that supports the Autistic Community. The cafe was busy on a Friday. Service was speedy and the staff were wonderfully attentive. I had the Sarah's Spinach Salad with chicken and my hubby had the Bleu Chicken Salad. They were awesome. The Triple Berry Smoothie was one of the best smoothies I have ever tasted. We'll be back this way again to try more cafe specialties!

Must Stop for CG - This is a unique café and by far one of my favorites in Casa Grande. First and foremost the food has a very thoughtful flavor to it. What the hell dose that mean?! Well when you take a bite you can really tell someone took time to make your meal with pride and heart. They do this one meal at a time and it shows. I absolutely love that this establishment supports the working Autistic Community. You can tell a lot of heart goes into many things there that normally would be overlooked at many other places. My favorite is lunch time. The sandwiches are generously sized and the salads are fresh and well complimented by the homemade dressings. If your in a mega lunch rush this isn't always your quickest stop, but if you have a few to spare its very much worth your time.

the food was well prepared, the service was nice. Pros. Location, food flavors, servers. Cons. THe service was a little slow. SInce the original reivew of this place I have returned and found that I like this place more each time I do. The Food has stayed the same, well prepared, tastey. The service is slow, however I have since learned that this place does something special, they employ the challenged anad give them an opportunity that others may not. The staff is always VERY friendly. I will continue to return there.

My husband and I tried this place for the first time Monday. After reading other reviews, we decided to get there early (11:20) as they said it gets really busy after 11:30 with the lunch crowd. Even having only a handful of people there, it did take a while for our meals to come, so don't go when you are in a rush. We each had a burger. (Western and Mushroom) Both came out a little well done for medium rare. My roll seemed a little stale, but my husbands was fine. Both the french fries and onion rings were pipping hot. We did have great/attentive service from the "handicapped" staff, but the waitress who actually takes the order and handles the money---not so much. The place is spotless which was really nice. We would go back.
(4)Vaibhav B.
I thought that the food was very greasy and heavy... The service was a tad slow, but thats okay with me...
(3)Dusty G.
I have a few favorites at this place (and we should, my office eats here a few times a week... read as about 4 times a week)... my favorite is the Abigail's Turkey Sandwich, the jerk turkey they use on it is amazing with the guacamole. The staff is always awesome, they recognize my voice and usually remember my co-workers orders. The price is moderate, and the variation of the menu let us eat here day after day and not get tired of it. Keep up the awesome work!!!
(5)Jennifer H.
Just passing through town and found this great cafe not far from the interstate. The buffalo chicken and Italian wraps were delicious. Their tortilla soup has a bit of a kick and was also quite good.
(5)Eladio D.
Nice atmosphere, very tasty food. We enjoyed a French dip sandwich, a chicken salad sandwich, and and some fine sweet potato fries.
(5)Leilani M.
Well, yelp, you got me good on this one. I was fly expecting something super delicious based on the great reviews and 4 star ratings. Not the case. It's a cute hole In the wall place but nothing to rave about by anyways. Chips and salsa was not edible. No other way to describe it. And when your special salad of the day can't even have fresh fruits in it (the strawberries, peaches, raspberries- all going bad) that's pretty sad. Service was good however- very friendly.
(2)Kasey G.
Great food and friendly customer service. My fav is the Gyro (pronounce "hero"). I've been in the restaurant several times and have always had a great experience.
(4)Ginger E.
Driven by many times. Finally stopped in because we hear they had great Fish N Chips. Best we have had in Casa Grande. Really nice atmosphere. Really clean and tidy. Waitress fast and pleasant. Prices really reasonable. Winter hours are limited so watch. Mainly a lunch place. Cole slaw was ho hum-that's why not 5 star. Wife had Chicken Fry Salad. Excellent. We be back
(4)Patti C.
Beautiful clean restaurant, great service and excellent food. Few good restaurants in Casa Grande, this is our new go to place.
(5)Brent S.
Best & consistent fare in Casa Grande. Had the Tortilla soup tonight, to die for. Very friendly. Owners always on the spot. Been coming here for years & never disappointed.
(5)Deb H.
Love Creative Cafe; everything that they offer is fabulous.
(5)Jonathan M.
This place is great for lunch. They serve a wide variety of burgers, wraps, salads, and sandwiches. The people are nice and serve you well. The place has a very local feel to it that I love. Some thing you don't get from restaurant chains.
(5)Tyrone F.
Ordered the creative burger and fries. The burger was seasoned with soy sauce basil and garlic, and it was pretty delicious. The fries were not my favorite. They were on the rubbery side. There was a gentleman that walked in shortly after me who seemed to be a regular, and he changed his fries for onion rings. I think that would be an excellent idea to follow next time I'm there. I really enjoyed the burger, so I can't wait to visit again and try other menu items. I ordered an iced tea too. Pretty standard and refreshing, but I feel like the price was a bit steep. $1.99 for a glass of unsweetened iced tea, and I didn't get any refills. The service was okay. At times it seemed I was waiting, but the server was I noticed was always moving, so I'm sure he was doing his best. He also respected my time crunch for lunch. This place is a really great find in Casa Grande.

Hours are changed during the summer apparently. Monday - Friday 11am to 3pm. Only open 4 hours in the summer. Waste of my time.
(1)Suzie E.
Been going here for years and have never had a bad meal. Food is so fresh and yummy. The owners are a wonderful family and they have awesome people working for them. I just love Brandi. It makes my day to get to see her. If you have not tried this place you are missing out.
(5)Zoya G.
Passing through and saw this on yelp that has vegan options.. Excellent menu options, food & service. The veggie patty is not vegan but they make a portobello mushroom burger for non meat/dairy eaters. I had the veggie wrap with a spinach wrap (ask for no cream cheese) and sweet potato fries... So yummy! My friends had a classic burger with grilled onions & bacon as well as a tuna sammich and we all enjoyed the food, service & cleanliness.
(5)Fran T.
I love eating out alone and I used to do it a lot when I lived in Massachusetts. Now that I live in Casa Grande, which has far fewer dining options, I find that my desire to eat out alone or with someone else for that matter has become limited. Creative Cafe is one of the few, if not the only place I really like to go and veg out with a book or some other light reading while eating lunch. The staff is absolutely great, the same people have worked there forever, which really tells you something about the establishment. It functions like a respectful, happy family. I've never called the atmosphere of any restaurant heartwarming before, but in this case that is the best descriptor I can find. I will say that for me, great service can excuse mediocre food, but in the case of Creative Cafe, both the food an the service are consistent, reliable, and get my two thumbs up! I just wish they offered breakfast! Their extended hours in the fall and winter are perfect when I have had a long day.
(5)Kathy L.
My husband and I were in the area to check out Palm Creek Golf and RV Resort and were looking for a place to grab a late lunch. I read some Yelp reviews and decided to give this local restaurant a try. And boy were we glad we did! I ordered the Gyro sandwich that came with a fabulous Greek salad and my husband had the Western burger and fries. His burger was huge and he said it was fabulous. My gyro was filled with lamb meat topped with yummy taziki sauce. The portions were perfect and reasonably priced. We will come back when we return to this area.

While visiting family in Casa Grande, I stumbled upon this hidden gem. The restaurant looks small when you first enter, but just to the right, you have the green room, and around the corner to the left, you have the Bahama room. To the back of the Bahama room, they also have a bar. You can see the kitchen from the main room. This place is huge! The owner is super sweet. She also owns Creative Labor Services located next door. They work closely with the mentally challenged & also help employ them. That's awesome! The first time I went, I ordered the cheese quesadilla and the tuna melt with onion rings. The food was absolutely delicious and their service was great. Everyone was so friendly. The second time I visited, I ordered the Crunchy Chicken Wrap. I'm vegetarian so I replaced the chicken with portobello mushrooms. Wow! Absolutely delicious! My niece ordered the Bleu Chicken Salad and loved it as well. They have very tasty onion rings, so be sure to get some for your side. I absolutely enjoy that they are creative with their food by adding untraditional yet tasteful ingredients. Yes, I highly recommend Creative Cafe! The food is amazing!
(5)Monica K.
Excellent dinner with friends last Wednesday. The dover sole stuffed with crab, scallops and lobster was fabulous. Others had the soup, hummus and pita, salmon and burgers. We have been there for lunch but not for dinner but will go back again for prime rib on Friday.
(5)Romeo L.
I wanted to take my family out for dinner and I decided either we would go to Chili's or Creative Cafe. Let me just say I made a wise choice by going with Creative Cafe, the food was prepared perfectly with great flavors and portions. Everyone ordered something different from the menu like the Ruben sandwich with thick sliced pastrami, the Buffalo chicken sandwich which was breaded and fried to perfection, and the BBQ Western burger with all of it's 1/2 lb angus goodness, all served with your choice of salad, soup, onion rings, french fries or sweet potato wedges(my favorite) which came with a spicy siracha dipping sauce. If you want great food prepared with some TLC, Creative Cafe is the place!
(5)Sharon D.
Had lunch there today and was extremely pleased. The staff was friendly. Food was great and got to our table in a timely manner. I will recommend it to all my friends. It is an hour from my home but will go every chance I get.
(5)Laura R.
Been here twice now and been very good both times. Best salads in Casa Grande! Portions are good size, food is fresh and moderate prices.
(5)Ken O.
Love the egg salad sandwich. My only concern is why can't the open days and hours be listed and add your menu
(4)Anna A.
It may be because we went out of our way to get here, but this place is not as special as I thought it would be based on the reviews. The service is fairly slow, and they burnt the gluten-free bread on the grill. The lettuce for the salad was room temperature and almost dry. While the flavor was good, there wasn't anything I would order again.
(4)Keith N.
Very dissapointed after reading all the good reviews. Went there for dinner with my wife last night. My wife had a salmon special & a salad. Her meal was average. I had stuffed sole with rice and a cup of soup. The soup was good but not HOT. The sole was ok, but was a prepared product and comes fully cooked. All they did was warm it up. The rice was cold and over cooked. All clumped up in balls. Terrible. They offered to replace it, but I was more than half finished. The meal was far from creative. The waitress never asked if we wanted another beer & the beer was overpriced for a Cafe. The dining room was also way to cold, I had to get our jackets from the car. I heard others complain & they finally adjusted the A/C. Over all not a pleasant experience.
(3)Jeff C.
LOVE this place! Such a great local business that I feel great supporting each time I go. They are a wonderful asset to the community and have delicious food to boot! I've had multiple items on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. The service is always great and it is just a fun environment with vibrant murals all over the walls. I always make time to stop by whenever I find myself in Casa Grande.
(5)Sandra W.
This is such a cheerful spot for lunch. We met out of town friends here last week and were very impressed with the fact that it is associated with a place like Creative Labor Services. The staff was pleasant and very attentive and the food was fantastic. I definitely recommend The Creative Cafe.
(5)Janelle M.
Pay attention to customers instead of talking as they are obviously waiting for you at the counter.......
(2)Larry R.
We were on our way to Tucson by way of Casa Grande and wanted to stop for lunch. I went to Yelp for suggestions and this cafe stood out. We were greeted with a welcoming smile and instantly seated . The walls are all painted with colorful designs . Our food server Ashley came over and greeted us ( again with a smile and sincerity of glad we chose this restaurant . We told her we say the review on yelp. Ashley said 3 other customers were in today also on the way to Tucson and found the cafe on yelp. I'm a vegan and I had the shroom with sweet patatoe fries and my wife had the tuna. Both perfect. A must stop if your in Casa Grande looking for a good place.
(4)Daniel R.
Awesome food and great service. Not to mention that one cook in the back with the Regular Show hat and how supa fine he is. 5 out of 5 would go back if only just to see him one more time before I leave for my hometown in Washington
(5)Wanderin' J.
Absolutely a super place to eat. It was our first time there and a great place to eat. It's definitely worth the trip. We loved it.
(5)Jack S.
Looking for a good lunch, try this place. Excellent service, good menu selection, very reasonable prices. Liked the flat bread pizza, just right. Wait staff checked our table regularly. Will go here first on next visit to Casa Grande.
(4)Katelyn F.
Kinda bummed to be writing this review after the expectations set, but I should have known the slow reviews would mean something would go awry with my must be on time lunch for a work event. I called a day ahead and spoke with Michelle to let her know I was coming to Casa Grande the following day and would be calling with a large order... She told me that was fine and to give them my order in the morning. I spoke with Michelle in the morning and got an email address to send the orders over to so I could ensure they would all be right. I gave her payment info and confirmed delivery time and she asked if I wanted to include gratuity. I told her to call me back with a total... A few hours went by and we were nearing the time I needed lunch to be delivered by... She said she was sorry they had a busy lunch and she would again call me back with my order total but had a few questions. I asked her again if the order would be there on time and she assured me it would... However the time she quoted for the delivery driver leaving and the time on the clock didn't match- they had misunderstood the delivery date. Through our phone call which I clearly stated we were coming the following day to the email the day of with all the orders and delivery date in the subject and body of the email, I don't understand how that was missed. To top it all off, out of the 17 orders I had, mine was left back at the cafe. They did rush and get everything to us roughly 25-30 minutes after our lunch was scheduled to happen... But if you need a timely lunch or delivery, I wouldn't count on it.

4.75 out of 5 Pesto Wrap 4.5/5 Crunchy Wrap 4.8/5 Food 4.65/5 Service 4.8/5 Ambiance 5/5 (Bonus points for employing autistic people) This is the type of place I would frequent on a regular basis if I lived here. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was 'creative' and quite tasty and the sweet potatoes were very good. The crunchy wrap had just the right amount of balsamic dressing and cheese, nothing overpowered the other and all ingredients were able to be distinguished.
(5)Brandi P.
I have eaten here pretty regularly and just had them cater a lunch for my co-workers. I'm a gluten free vegan and the regular menu doesn't have gluten free wraps or sammys but I was able to get a special gluten free sandwich with the catered lunch (go figure!). They always accommodated my special requests and the food is delicious. Sometimes the service was a little laid back to fit into a lunch hour but that was definitely not the norm. I have a friend who is addicted to the cream of mushroom soup...which looked pretty tempting! I wish I had discovered it sooner!
(4)Toni L.
Second visit this month. This time we brought very good friends and you know how that usually goes. Not this time. Absolutely 5 stars. The service was fantastic. The setting so comfortable. And the food - excellent. Four people in our party, three different dinners, all perfect. Price is right too.
(5)Gary P.
Came to Casa Grande to visit my parents and Yelp'd for someplace to get lunch with the kids. We found Creative Cafe and headed over. Overall, the place was great, friendly staff, good cause, and the food was very good. We had a Margarita pizza, it was great and bigger than expected. Also a chef salad, which was good, but not great, and a fried chicken sandwich which was good. Prices were very reasonable and I love going to places that are independent.
(4)Brenda B.
If you're traveling on the I-10 and you get hungry, drive the extra miles to this place. It has the best food in Casa Grande and is a staple in the community. I just visited recently. It is such a special place.
(5)Brian C.
I've been eating here off and on for the last six months or so and have had a chance to sample most of the items on the menu. I've never had a bad meal here and the service has always been exceptional. I treat the staff with respect and in return they do the same for me. I don't think I can recommend this place highly enough, probably one of the top 3 places in the whole town.
(5)Claire B.
One of many family owned resturants in town and it's amazing! I don't go here very much because it's not down the most busiest street, but when I do it's amazing. The atmosphere is festive yet cozy at the same time. If you become a regular the staff will definitely start recognizing you more. Try the wraps! My favorite food there!
(5)Joseph F.
This is one of the better places to dine in Casa Grande. The temperature of the restaurant and the speed of the service knock a star right off. It is freezing in the restaurant, and this coming from a guy that runs hot. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, so I'm not sure what was taking so long. Anyway, I ordered the Philly Cheese steak, with sweet potato fries. The Sandwich was a very good representation of a restaurant style cheese steak (not to be confused with traditional). The roll was soft and buttery, meat was very tasty and the veggies and cheese were not rationed. The sweet potato fries could have been cooked a little longer, as they were all floppy :( So if this is common practice be sure to ask for them well done. Will return! Maybe for the Reuben next time!
(4)Larry S.
I keep forgetting about this place. I had heard so many good things about it but due to the fact that it is not on the main road running through town I would forget about it. So finally the other day my girlfriend and I were getting our haircut next door and thought that we would give it a try. What a great place. The staff was very nice and really on top of things. I had the Club sandwhich. It was your typical triple decker club (turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo on wheat bread). It was very tasty. With that I had the sweet potato wedges, also very good. My girlfriend had the BLT. She said it was OK. There is really nothing special about any BLT that I have ever had so I guess "OK" means it was good. What these owners have done is awesome. Working with special needs people is something that I could never do. I am not a patient person but these people must be angels. Keep up the good work.
(4)Rachel A.
Friendly staff Crunchy munchy wrap was yummy Sweet potato wedges with sriracha mayo was pretty good. Will be back.
(3)Peggy R.
We stopped in for dinner my husband had the Aah chi wa wa burger and a cup of the tortilla soup. He loved them both! I had a cup of the soup of the day, which was a wonderful cream of mushroom, and a half of chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. It was just yummy! We also ordered onion rings as an appetizer, really good but too much for two people not that we didn't eat them! I also took a piece of their carrot cake home, we had it today and it was good, not the best ever but 4 out of 5 stars. The service is very friendly and attentive.
(5)Cathy S.
We found this restaurant on Yelf since we were traveling and didn't know the area. Just loved it! The food was delicous especially the salmon with carmelized onions and a portbello mushroom . The owner and her daughter were so, so nice and friendly and even gave us a sample of their mushroom soup that everyone raves about even though it wasn't on the menu that night--it was fabulous!! Make sure and enjoy Creative Cafe!
(5)Jim D.
THE BEST chicken salad in Arizona! I just ate here yesterday for the first time and I know already that I will be a regular. Their menu has something for everyone. I had to resist and turn away from the dessert case, but everything in it looked "inviting." I like to spend my money with locally-owned restaurants and Creative Cafe is a testament to entrepreneurship, hard work, a good product and a business that gives back to the community. Kudos to Creative Cafe!
(5)Sara H.
If you're anything like me and avoid chain restaurants and fast food, then it is hard to find a good place to eat in this area. My husband and I LOVE this place and are so happy our friend took us there righ after we moved to the area. The soups are delicious, and we sometimes go there just for the soup. My personal favorites are the tomato basil and cream of mushroom. I frequently order Nora's salad, which has mixed greens, mandarin orange slices, raspberries, chicken, candied walnuts, blue cheese, and a raspberry dressing. The portebello sandwich, wraps, and garden burgers are also very delicious. The only time we have been disappointed with the food is when we tried the margherita pizza. The crust wasn't anything to write home about, and it was very heavy on garlic. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. We love the brightly colored walls and decor. I highly recommend this cafe for anyone looking for a good sandwich, salad, and/or soup! We
(5)Alice S.
We've eaten here several times, and the food is always good. I also like it that they're helping autistic young people. The staff is very friendly. The menu has lots of delicious items - the food is really upscale for a small cafe.
(4)Dick H.
Ambience interesting, staff friendly and responsive and flat break pizza tasty and more than my wife and I needed.
(4)MIKE C.
This place rocks! A must stop if your in town looking for a unique place to eat. The food, service, decor , and concept is great. Try it for yourself.
(5)Shannon D.
This is one of the best cafe in Pinal county. If you are in the area, take the time to head off the freeway a few miles away from the chain resturants and enjoy some wonderful food and a loving attentive wait staff. There is always something yummy and interesting on the menu. Enjoy this wonderful establishment!
(5)V R.
I took my niece here for her 9th birthday. We both loved the food, the atmosphere, and the service. She ordered a cheeseburger, I got the portobello mushroom sandwich. We split a gigantic cake and ice cream dessert. The brightly colored walls and artwork were great conversation-starters (i.e., "if you could paint your room any color, what would it be?"). When it came time for me to sign my credit card slip, my niece loved the fake-daisy pen. I tried to buy it from our server, but she refused to let me pay for it, and called over her manager, who gave my niece her choice of several colors! :) Made her night. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.
(5)Kat K.
Service was good and prompt. I ordered a mushroom onion burger and asked for guacamole instead of cheese. They didn't charge extra for the guac. The toppings were fresh and didn't slide around or fall off the burger. The burger was flavorful and wasn't greasy at all, but over cooked. I ordered it med-rare, it was med-well. My receipt said med-rare, so I can't fault the server. The rest of the menu looked awesome so I'll definitely go back, but I'll be trying something else.
(4)Barbara C.
I love this place. I go to Casa Grande often for work, and always end up in this area where there are a lot of restaurant chains or Mexican restaurants. Nothing against Mexican...but I try to keep my lunches light and fresh. This place prepares sanwiches, soups, salads, wraps, all from scratch. With ingredients that you wouldn't expect in a lot of menus in Casa Grande. Their cream of mushroom soup is so decadent you won't want your spoon to leave your mouth. Their desserts are calorie-laden, old style, not non-fat stuff but the good old stuff. Hey, if I'm going to splurge and have dessert, I want it to have all the calories and all the fat. The staff is very friendly, and they employ developmentally disable people. I have a co-worker that gets very uncomfortable because of this, and I think it's ridiculous. If anything, it makes me go there more often, because they are great employees, never rude or snooty like at other places. Just a warning, it does get pretty full around lunch time (11:30-1) but if you go before or after, it's perfect. The main problem is the parking lot, which does not fit a lot of cars. So plan ahead.
(5)Frank W.
My wife and I make it a point to stop in when we are in CG. Jim & his wife Tessa are great people and it shows in the way they treat their staff and guests. This place has become a real jewel for the locals. I am happy to support this fine local business which has become such an asset to its community. As far as the food is concerned, they have a very diverse menu for a small establishment. Sometimes, when I am not that hungry, I chill out with the 1/2 sandwich + chile combo and a beer. Their salads are always fresh. However, my wife and I go nuts for the Ah Chi WaWa burger, grilled to perfection and tasty (and spicy) the way I like 'em. In the past, I have tried some of their pasta dishes and found them tasty as well. Also, they have some nice desserts, but we never have room left. The portions and the prices are quite fair. I can't wait to come back....
(5)Shane M.
Great service and yummy well priced food, only gave 4 stars because closed weekends
