The restaurant is the combined vision of Jim, Tesa and Bill Machelor. The parent company, Creative Labor Services, has provided work and learning opportunities for mentally and physically challenged adults since 1987. Looking to provide something fresh and unusual in casual dining, the family opened the restaurant in Casa Grande in July of 2000. We are now in our 20th year of preparing healthy food, along with excellent service. Thank you for your patronage!

If you don’t know the Creative Cafe you are missing out. My wife and I live in Tucson, but make it a point to stop here when we are passing through Casa Grande. Their food is finely crafted, fresh, and always handled with a passion. They take great pride on their food and concept.The Machelor Family who have been running this gem have the biggest hearts and are making a true difference in their community. I wish there were more places like the Creative Cafe.Travis Duran Jr (Google Reviews)

Took a risk, and tried this place out. So glad I did. Casual, quiet environment-very clean! Lots on the menu looked good. I tried the steak salad and it exceeded my expectations. I will be back!Bill Soroka (Google Reviews)
This was a fabulous find for 5 east coasters and 2 pacific northwesters. A large, diverse menu for our varied tastes and to please the picky ones. Clean with great service, even near closing. Pleasant folks and lots of locals who were repeaters. Wish we were close enough to return!!!Toni O. (Yelp)

Great service, terrific food, unique choices. Best place in Casa GrandeLaura Ward (Google Reviews)
Best gem in Casa Grande. Short and simple. One of my very favorite restaurants, and not just in Casa Grande! Family owned and run like you are part of the family when you arrive. Maybe because I go there a lot!! Great variety on the menu. My very favorite is the “crunchy munchie” chicken wrap on a tomato basil wrap. Yum! Home made desserts to complete your lunch or dinner. Never disappointed. When friends or family visit, this is my go to restaurant.pattyemdee (TripAdvisor)
