The Best Breakfast in Tempe, by the Record
Tempe has sent exactly one place into the record so far: Harlow's Cafe, honored by Phoenix New Times.

Rank 1. Harlow's Cafe
Diner American
Wood-paneled walls and a parking lot that fills before most people have checked their phones: Harlow's is an old-school Tempe diner that hasn't felt the need to update anything. Booths pack in early birds and retirees at dawn, then hand off to the hangover crowd around nine. The coffee is black, the burritos are large, and the servers are the kind who remember how you take it. Phoenix New Times named it one of the ten best brunch spots in Phoenix.
