The duck curry is tasty and the pineapple is definitely an interesting element, however we faced many frustrations when dealing with this establishment; from unspecified charges to the take-out containers literally splitting in my hands and spilling saucy mess everywhere... There were many ingredients that seemed out of place in the curry and led me to believe they'd tossed a frozen bag of stir-fry mix into the pot rather than utilizing fresh vegetables. The texture of the shrimp used in their soup was completely off, like they'd been handled wrong (overcooked, refrozen, something). While the flavors were interesting, the irritations involved with obtaining the food and the distance will prohibit us from returning.

Positive: great location, free wireless, several very nice baristas. Negative: 2 outlets (it's no longer cute), wobbly tables , terrible coffee, burnt, low quality, inconsistent. Haven't tried more frou frou drinks. The occasional inexplicably asshole employee.

The South Scottsdale area is sadly void of decent breakfast options. There are a few who do nice job, but not enough to keep the rotation fresh. I was greatly hoping that BACON would add another much needed breakfast boit to my mix. Sadly, after 3 tries that just isn't the case. I will try to avoid snarkyness, but this place misses on way too many points. Beginning with decor, the denim booth covers are certainly a matter of taste, not mine, but enough of my friends think that it is cute and unique that I will have to forgoe critcism. The open airy layout seems to just miss, and as with many new concepts there seems to be an identity crisis. Restaurant? Coffee shop? The place is cute enough to forgive a little confusion if redemption could be found in the food and service. First major problem, 2 of my 3 visits, the place named Bacon had no candadian bacon ????? The food in general is bland and uninviting, highlited by breakfast potatos that have a strange glaze or gravy that I do not quite understand. Lastly the service, its ok - probably 3 stars for pleasant, but back down to 2 for performance, Twice I had to get up for silverware before I could begin eating, and things do seem to take a while. I promised I would not be snarky so I am leaving out critical details. Trust me or not, a great many faux pas are a regular part of the dining experience. Bacon is the type of place I really want to do well, both for selfish and altruistic reasons, but I don't see this place having the core to climb out of these early snafus to be a decent place. It has been open long enough to make have made some strides by now. I will keep rooting for them from afar.

The worse "mexican" food I have ever had! I am white and I can prepare more authentic mexican food. But can't expect much from a bar.
