The frist place we head to when we winter in Fountain Hills, is the Octagon Cafe. It's been our tradition for the past 6 years since we first happened upon their first location at the little octagon shaped building. My wife and I talk about how we look forward to having our favorite sandwiches and talking with Jim who remembers all of us by name the minute we walk in. \r
It's such a nice home-town feeling we have when go there and the sandwiches are wonderful, the coleslaw is out of this world and the special cakes that have been baked for them since the day they first opened are decadant. We met the baker once a few years ago and it was so obvious she bakes everything with such love..and it shows!\r

One thing we noticed this season is that the Octagon is really focused on products without additives, hormones, etc. The chicken breast that they cook for thier amazing chicken salad is totally free of any harmful additives and to us it's a sign that the owners really care about what they serve to their customers. One of our seasonal neighbors goes to the Octagon several times a week becasue of thier committment to quality and the offering they have for gluten intolerant diners.\r

I highly recommend the Octagon Cafe and have done so for the past 6 years. Truly our favorite place in Fountain Hills for dining in or on the spacious patio.
