    My yuppie ass LOVES this place. For so many reasons. I love feeling part of the trendy, hip clientele that frequent this place. I also love that there are oodles of hot businessmen working away on their laptops during the week, as well as hot athletes dropping by in the middle of a workout.

    It can get insanely crowded, and parking sucks unless you're there at 9-10am before you're forced to valet. But, it adds to the feel sometimes.

    Now for the food. If you must cheat on your diet, there is nothing better to use the meal on than a baked good from Tammie Coe. Anything in the muffin case is absolutely to LIVE for. My favorites are the blackberry bran muffin, banana muffin, and the salted chocolate chip cookie. Lord God I eat an entire one in a single sitting (they are huge). I don't eat typical breakfast fare, so I go straight to the Sonoma Garden Salad with dates and marcona almonds. OMG heaven. And that wild rice salad they have in the deli case is amazeballs if you're a whole grain snob. Sadly, LGO has little made with whole wheat, it's all white flour death.

    Any coffee drink is bomb sauce. The only thing LGO could do to improve would be to add more vegetarian/vegan items. But those cookies.... godDAYUM.

    the commuter sandwich is the perfect breakfast sandwich, add avocados to the bacon version for an extra kick.

    seating here can get crazy, so be prepared! if you sit outside, watch out for bird poop.

    This is a very interested restaurant/grocery.

    You can order food TO-GO, order a latte at the coffee bar or go right next door and eat a nice dinner. It's also a grocery store where you can pick up dinner or pre-packaged lunch options. They only serve sandwiches until 5pm.

    I saw an array of desserts too, but wasn't able to try them.

    The bread here is fantastic!!

    It's like a non-country, trendier version of Cracker-Barrel. Cute, cozy, filled with nicknack's and plenty of charm. On the downside, it can get a bit crowded, and there is not much parking, but overall- it's a nice local spot  with plenty of delicious goodies to try.

    Tip- lots of good wine to choose from!

    Truly as good as it gets.  Cute mash up of market, bakery, and pizzeria.  Best bakery in town.  As an out-of-towner, every year I make sure to stop in for a "Commuter" on croissant with a  vanilla latte.  The market includes local artist and unique gift shop items.

    atmosphere, check
    wifi, check,
    friendly staff, check
    timeliness, check
    delicious, check

    YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. (Unless they run out of croissants before you get one ;)

    Okay, now that I've been here three times, I feel comfortable with a 4 star review.

    Went for breakfast once and lunch twice. Everything I've had was deelish and the prices are very reasonable.
    The Croque Madame was a great satisfying breakfast sandwich (open face) that was a bit tricky to cut/eat but the Gruyere, Ham and tomato on whole-grain is top-notch. A sunny-side-up egg tops it off and you won't be hungry for a few hours...
    ...too bad because you'll want to save room for any one of the amazing cookies, bars, cakes and scones in their enticing bakery case. I highly recommend the red velvet bar and the old-fashioned chocolate cupcake (with white curly q's ala hostess).

    The chicken salad sandwich is moist and tasty and served open-faced, while the hot pressed Cuban sandwich is wonderful on a cool day. Served with fresh pineapple on the side, each item is in the $7 range (very good for the serving size, IMO).

    About the only downers were lack of parking and having to wait for a seat (when it's busy, which is pretty much ALL the time).

    Oh My Heaven... I can't believe I haven't yelped La Grande Orange .  I am so in love with LGO , I wish I could be an apprentice back in the kitchen and learn how to make EVERYTHING . I have had almost everything on the menu and love it . When I am running to the office ahead of schedule, I treat myself to breakfast , Crepes are beautiful , the Birchermuesli , the day breaker , you really can't go wrong with anything you choose. The Banana nut muffin is one of the best I have ever had . The Salads are amazing , I've been eating the Thai chicken salad twice a week , trying to figure out how to make it .  I really want to try the Bloody Marys one of these weekends. I had one at their sister restaurant "The misfit " in Santa Monica. I hope it's just as good . LGO should be on your Bucket List . Now Go !

    Love this place.

    They have a bunch of great little kitchy gifts, sweet-arabilia (candies from "yester years"), some great wines, and a great deli counter.

    A few of my faves to leave w/, or find a table to enjoy at outside if I can, their hot pressed cubano and a coconut cupcake. De-e-a-licious.

    Its always crowded here, but if you wait out the line, youll see why.

    Great energy and tasty food.  If you can find parking and a seat, it's a great place to come and grub on a lazy Sunday.  Had the Thai Chicken Salad, and the spicy ahi, while the wife had the veggie burger.  Great place.  I've eaten here twice in the last week.  I see  what the obsession is all about.  You just feel cool when you eat here.

    Love chillin on the patio @ LGO after a long week. Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Margarita pizza, tortilla soup and Red Velvet cake!  Boom!

    You can select whatever beer, wine or soda you want to drink right out of the market coolers. Then just ask for LGO to open your beer or wine and enjoy it right on the patio.

    The pizza is hand made and only fresh ingredients are used.  It takes a little while to get your pizza so have plenty of drink and conversation going.

    Tortilla soup was served in a good size bowl and properly topped off with plenty of tortilla strips!

    Go ahead and pick your favorite cookie, cup cake or piece of cake from the fresh baked items.  You can't miss on dessert.

    Be prepared to be patient with the valet because this place and next door Postino's are always popping off.

    This is truly a one of a kind place for PHX.

    Awesomeness! So smart but It's a bit confusing for a fist timer. Them muffins are great wish they put more sandwiches and breakfasts on them. The place is so rules free I hope people do not take advantage because they give the customer the benefit of the doubt.
       Pizza was nice, love to have tried the sweets but as it was January I was already way over my careful calorie count. The rockin tunes added so much though I am sure the format appeals to mostly a younger crowd.
      Some Details, Counter Service until 4. Pizza day time only weekends. Sandwiches are picked up at a different counter than, pizza and burgers. There is a white bucket for your dishes.

    To all the carnivores who have been scarred by vegetarian friends brutally forcing you to "just try a bite" of a rubbery Boca burger or flavorless beans-n'-sh*t burger, know that there is hope for you yet.

    LGO has perfected the veggie burger. The Shangri-La is filling, big, flavorful, healthy, and cheap. Plus, you can get it wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun. Take that, carbs. It also comes with a piece of fruit, so your sugar cravings will be somewhat satisfied without ordering a 6-inch cookie to-go and crying while eating the entire thing in your car.

    I love that burger so much I want to take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant.

    I came here at 2 pm on Wednesday and there was a line out the door. My first thought was "doesn't anyone work anymore?" or do they all work nights like me?

    I ordered the stacked turkey sandwich, the line moved pretty quickly and the girl at the counter was friendly. The next problem I encountered was finding a place to eat my sandwich. Here is hint: Remove all the pretentious crap (what they call "grocery") and put some more tables in the place. Focus on the food and the customers.

    Now to the sandwich. What is the Cardinal Sin in sandwich making? The wrong bread, and yep, they did it. They used thin, flimsy 9 grain bread to hold together a stacked turkey sandwich, and after one bite, it all fell apart. So I was left to eat all the ingredients of the sandwich a la carte like a Thanksgiving meal. That's too bad, because it was obvious everything was great quality, and had they used Italian, French, Ciabatta, etc.,  I would not be giving this a 2 star review.

    I may possibly return (am in no hurry)  for the treats, or a cappuccino and breakfast. The sandwich experience was too irritating to give another try, especially when a few blocks away The Vig is serving the best damn sandwiches in Phoenix.

    One of the benefits of being a native Arizonan is knowing all the best kept secrets our state has to offer.
    That doesn't mean I'll share them with you, because I won't.

    However, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, mainly about how I do little or nothing for my fellow man and how the karma from that might bite me in the ass someday.
    So i'm going to share one secret with you about a Phoenix restaurant this one time.
    LGO.
    The food is superb, the service is quick, the ambiance, fantastic. That's not the secret.

    The secret is MJ's breads.
    MJ Coe is an award winning baker whose breads are the best in all of Phoenix.
    All us natives know this, and now you do too.
    LGO not only uses his breads in their  sandwiches, they offer them by the loaf.
    And here's the secret that hopefully keeps me out of the karma-cancer hot seat.

    MJ offers a signature chocolate-cherry french bread that's quite simply the best bread on earth.
    The color of chocolate, dark brown, it looks like no loaf of french bread you've ever seen, almost like a pumpernickel.
    Outside, the crust is perfect.
    Inside, the crumb is moist and chewy, with large chunks of what I can only presume is world class chocolate along with whole fresh cherries.

    And as if the chocolate french bread wasn't enough, biting into a chunk of chocolate or a cherry in every bite is the experience of a lifetime, one you won't soon forget.
    But plan ahead.
    LGO doesn't shelf this bread, it's a special order requiring a one day notice.

    Here's another tip, mainly for men.
    Order at least two loaves.
    One for the drive home, as you incessantly pick at it until its DOA. The other to present to your wife in a blatant attempt to barter something other than jewelry for a blow-job.

    What a great concept!  Came for brunch, lines out the door as we anticipated.  No big deal, as it moved quickly.  I ordered eggs and bacon and hubby the pancakes. Unfortunately by the time it got to the table everything was stone cold.  Coffee was really strong (end of the batch??) then when we went for a second cup they were out and had to wait ten minutes for a fresh brew.  Not the best experience, shame I really wanted to like the place.

    I love the tammie Coe cupcakes and their bakery but the espresso drinks are horrible! I have only been there in the evening so maybe it's just the people that work nights but I don't even get one anymore because it is so gross. I love the brand of espresso they use so not sure what the problem is. Otherwise it's great there. Love the store.

    I have to give LGO's manager, Blair, major kuddos. He takes what his customers have to say seriously - which is impressive since he has roughly a billion steady customers as it is. I wrote a review indicating my recent dislikes and he took the time to ask me specifically what was wrong. That's top notch. He cared. So with that we ventured back over for breakfast (although let's be clear, I was still a customer consuming the tasty coffee and pastries, just skipping out on my fav meal-breakfast). I had the eggs to order and my bf has the commuter and both of us were very pleased. The bacon is fantastic, veggies seemed fresh, eggs delish. We of course had to have the blackberry dumpling - which is a must try. I just had to write a new review letting folks know that LGO's manager does care about every customer even though he has some to spare. We'll be back!

    I am obsessed with this place! I'm here  2-3 a week! My boyfriend and I are going to moving and we are basing our location around LGO. Thats how much we love this place! The food is so stinking good and fresh and local!! I have had almost everything on that menu including the beverages. My new favorite sandwich Is the Hot-pressed tuna. My other favs are the tuna steak sandwich, and hot-pressed cubano! And don't worry u vegetarians they have wonderful and oh-so delicious dishes for you too!

    And if you are a celiac like a couple of my good friends their gluten free pizza's are ridiculously yummy!! I actually prefer the gluten-free over the regular crust however the regular crust melts in your mouth!

    I have never had one bad thing to eat here. I highly recommend bring yourself,friends and family members here. And if you just finished an exciting hike on camelback mountain immediately get her for a cocoanut water to rehydrate, then refresh with a beer and sandwich sit outside and take it all in. ENJOY!

    Really cool place, I wish we had something like this in San Diego! My boyfriend's brother swears by La Grande Orange and called in an order for breakfast before dropping us off at the airport. It's a market and cafe and if you call in an order you can park out front where they bring the food right to the curb for you. Plus they fresh squeeze their own OJ which I'm assuming that's where the name came from.

    I had the Venice Beach burrito which was equally both super healthy and delicious with egg whites, tofu, spinach, corn and roasted tomato salsa. The commuter sandwiches on fresh english muffins looked even better but I had to tame myself after the weekend's eating and drinking festivities.

    The market/grocery shop is so cute and gourmet looking and I heard the pizza place that they own next door is phenomenal. I can't wait to go back!

    I would guess Mother Nature opened up this store.

    A Camelback East urban neighborhood hang, where you can get healthy eats or simple pleasures with a relaxed very sweet staff. And I don't necessarily need to bring up the sexy people that shop here but c'mon.

    I have done coffee in the morning and sandwiches at lunch. The Barista outside does a fine cup of coffee. The lunches I have had, tuna salad, tuna steak and pizza salad. All of these meals are man size and especially pleasing. They even have a wide variety of beverages to wash down those tasty bites. Sturdy neighborhood staples by my standard.

    If I might recommend a product that would fit, look into water that comes in a paper carton to sell alongside the plastic bottles. There are indoor tables and as I'm eating, I see some of the merchandise in which LGO stocks. A small but excellent offering as far as I can tell. There are outdoor tables and benches that yield old-school homey aesthetics.

    This is a fun place to eat. When I'm in the area, I will be back.

    What can I say about LGO that hasn't already been said?  It's fantastic, it's consistent, and it's convenient (I live down the street, I'm sure some would disagree with me, though).  I rarely battle the masses and typically opt for curbside takeout, which really is the best thing since sliced bread.  For breakfast, get anything with an English muffin or bacon.  For lunch, their bread is excellent and every sandwich I've had has been good enough to order again.  Oh, and don't forget to stop by the dessert case.  You really can't go wrong with anything in there, but to be safe, you can order a piece of red velvet cake and thank me later.

    Don't listen to people who tell you this place is overrated--some people like to pick on things that are popular.  Other people just like good food.

    After years of being told I need to try this place I finally did.  I gotta say I was turned off before I even walked in the door.

    The food was delicious and the music selection was good.  This was however overshadowed by the fact that I couldn't figure out what the hell to do after ordering my food and waiting for my coffee.  This place was SO PACKED it was impossible for my brunch mate and I to have a relaxing conversation.  It was too much.  After getting our food we had to carry it through crowds of people to find a place to sit.    On top of that the "grocery" was unimpressive.  I don't really understand what makes this place a "grocery."  It looked as if they had taken items from all the cute little downtown Phoenix boutiques I've been seeing for years and crammed them into a small overcrowded space along with wine, cupcakes, and brunch.

    This place is as trendy as hiking Camelback Mountain. I felt the majority of the customers and staff were pretentious snobs.  Not all of course, there was one fellow customer who helped me clean up my mess after I spilled my coffee and there was "one" staff member who was friendly-the rest seemed to be annoyed and short on patience (I would be too if I worked there). I prefer many Downtown/Central Phoenix brunch spots to this where I can actually sit and wait for my food to be delivered to me while having a pleasant conversation with a friend without having to feel that I'm being rushed out of there.

    I went here on a morning with my wife and kids.  We left a large resort and were on our way out of town headed to the Grand Canyon.  Perhaps the service leaves something to be desired because it is a grocery that has a kitchen, but the food is out of this world.  My daughter was disappointed in the pancakes because they were more like crapes, but I loved them and my older kids loved it all.  It did not matter since she ate half of my wife's egg white omelet.  We all shared and I would go back every week if I could.  Certainly all the locals seem to be doing that.

    I'll just add my 2 cents on how fun, happening, and great this place is. The coffee totally awesome. The bakery items impossible to choose. I had a very very good tuna sandwich then noticed the pizza's on other tables and had to try it. Had the margehrita and it was spectacular. Gooey cheese, chewey crust, superior ingredients. The staff here from the pizza guy to the counter people to the clean up crew......very friendly, real, and beyond efficient.

    The atmosphere here is just real comfortable and fun. A wide variety of seating styles......from indoor table , to community table, bar,outdoors garden, oudoors sidewalk, indoors amongst the grocery shoppers......

    A very cool place.....can be difficult to park there sometimes but just presevere.

    My first trip to AZ was a real treat when I was taken to La Grande Orange Grocery. Charming from the moment you start driving past it! Lets get the not so cool things about this place out of the way first...

    Cons:
    -Parking lot is silly small for how popular (and amazing) this place is. Although, this well NEVER deter me from going here. Even if its just to grab a quick coffee.

    Ok.. now that I really sit and think about it, that is the only Con to this delightful establishment. Walking through the shop you can find the most darling and useful items including: funny/witty random items, coffee mugs, to go cups for iced drinks (a MUST in AZ), t-shirts, books, art, calendars, magazines, etc... You can also purchase cold beverages outside of the restaurant or coffee bar and they also have a huge selection of wine for a small store. I purchased a darling La Grande Orange to-go coffee mug and if an art piece my boyfriend loves is still there when I arrive next friday.. I will be getting that for him.

    The coffee bar smells amazing and even though I have only had one  iced toddy (AZ friends, i'm catching on ;))  from them, I am in love. The barista was super knowledgable and friendly and guess what ? She managed to not screw up something as simply as an iced beverage. I also purchased a bag of their Organic Ethiopian coffee. It is sitting in the apartment in AZ just waiting for me to come back! They bake all sorts of delicious treats daily and they have a food menu outside of the restaurant. They offer lots of quick fast goodies to take on the go as well as breakfast options for all of us loungey-coffee/brunch/patio-with-our-laptops people. ME.

    While I was there I dined in the restaurant and our experience was great. We ordered cocktails while we waited for our table and they were fresh and delicious! So nice to have a real drink outside of UT. We were seated quickly and our server was very helpful, friendly but also very laid back which I love. We ordered the  grilled artichoke which was of course amazing, a vegetable pizza and another round of drinks. As we finished up our dinner we walked around the shop one more time to take in all the amazing random stuff they sell all while a great AZ storm was starting to brew outside.

    This place is amazing. If you live in Phoenix you should be addicted and if you are visiting, you better make a special trip. Or two.

    Affectionately known by neighborhood entrepreneurs as Conference Room A, for its popularity as a place to come with the laptop for a social change of scenery from the dining room table.  Because it's right around the corner, I know I will always bump into someone I know.  I do relate to the comments of some of the other reviewers as I have witnessed some of that pretentiousness.  But when I come I mostly come to work and eat and thus block that out.  And hopefully diversify the audience a bit for the other patrons.

    Foodwise, everything is great!  I especially love their Arnold Palmers on a hot afternoon.  For breakfast I'd have to pick the Venice Burrito.

    Music can be a little bit loud but if the weather's nice just sit outside at the picnic tables and enjoy the ambience.

    Dopetastic gluten-free, roasted corn pizza!  I went here with a friend of mine who has Celiac's Disease, so she can't eat wheat based foods.  So gluten free is her go to.  We got a couple of different pizza's here, and while the other one is not worth reviewing, the roasted corn pizza topped with laura chenel goat cheese, corn, roasted tomatoes and basil was exquisite and would make even the tone deaf's taste buds sing!  It was really good, and I didn't see that coming at all.

    The vibe is pretty chill in there, there are a lot of patrons, but you can still have a good conversation, and the staff is pretty friendly and provides good to very good service.  

    I'm definitely going to go back and get that pizza again and try some of the other things on their pretty vast menu.

    I love La Grande. Sure, there are plenty of things to bitch about...the trendiness, the parking, the chaos of it all....but really, I just loooove it. This is our favorite brunch spot. We grab a couple of Commuters (okay, and a coffee cake or salted chocolate chip cookie if they have them), some mimosas or iced coffee, and park ourselves on the patio. The babe runs amok, no one cares much, and we have a nice little morning.

    LGO = WINNER

    Holy -god damn it - batman - rock n' roll I love LGO.   Even when this bish is rocking hard on a Saturday morning and I'm yanked cause parking here is an absolute cluster (not their fault they kick ass and everyone wants to mow here) I find it feasible to commandeer a table (Steph does this part) get coffee/hot chocolate and get  my scrumdiddliuptious nummers nom nom'd.   I highly recommend eating a Tammie Coe pastry while waiting for your food.  She makes a crumb bun that will make you weep.  The thing is a religious experience, I swear.  

    FYI there is no waiter service till 4:00PM.
