First timers and came with a small group of women from the neighborhood. Clean and nicely decorated space, which was busy when we first arrived. They have a larger patio space outdoors, which I asked and discovered they are dog friendly so happy to find another venue we can bring the girls to. The patio was still shaded when we left about noon so it's a good spot for pups. Two of our group was already seated when we arrived so we joined them upon arrival. Lisa, our server, immediately came over for drink orders and confirm we were still waiting for others to join. Lisa, was so patient and friendly while the group gathered and decided what to order. I asked for a glass of O.J. which was sans pulp for those who don't like it in their O.J. I prefer some to jazz it up but it was a good glass of juice. They have a good sized menu with both breakfast and lunch offerings, and it took a bit to decide on what we were eating. I decided on the Corned Beef Hash with two eggs over-medium and a pancake. I asked for it on a separate plate and she said no worries, that's how it is served. The hash was sooo good! Cooked to a crispy crust and so flavorful and not salty at all, which I loved because sometimes hash can be salty. It also came with hash browns, which were cooked perfectly and not greasy in the least. I asked for my eggs over-medium and they too were cooked to perfection. It came with one pancake (I chose this in place of toast) and it was good size cake, with a nice malty flavor. It's sprinkled lightly with powder sugar and a dispense of warm syrup was provided as well. Really good breakfast! Wife went with the 2 egg breakfast with bacon and sourdough toast. They serve a wonderful homemade blackberry jam with the toast, which was really good and jammy. She also had her eggs done the same way as me and they were cooked to perfection. The bacon was perfect and she commented about the hash browns being cooked to a crunchy outer and tender on the inside. Everyone else said their meals were just as good and everything looked delicious. Great breakfast find and we will be back! Thank you to all of the staff and cooks! read more

Meeting an old friend for lunch. I'd never heard of this place before, so I went in with an open mind and no real expectations. Always hoping a local recommendation turns out great. *Service: the service was fair. Our waitress spent most of the time sitting in the booth across from us on her phone and checked in occasionally. A few times we had to ask for things we needed. Nothing rude, just not especially attentive or engaged. Definitely didn't feel like her #1 priority. *Food: I ordered the tuna *melt*. It was alright, but nothing to write home about. The tuna itself was relatively cold (should have been warm on a melt) and lacked flavor, the cheese wasn't melted (it's a "melt", right?), and the bread was good. I dipped and drenched in salt, pepper, ranch and hot sauce to give it some flavor. The fries were good, hot and tasty. Overall, it felt like a mid-level café sandwich made by a basic "cook", not a well curated restaurant sandwich. My lunch buddy ordered a smothered omelette that looked great, and he said it was very good, so that was good. *Ambiance: the atmosphere was decent. Very basic, a bit cold feeling, café-like, casual, and reasonably comfortable. Nothing stood out strongly other than it seemed pretty clean and bright. *Value: my tuna melt and fries, with no drink, was $16. Not great, not terrible. It felt like an $8-$10 sandwich max for what I got, not a standout value. I posted a picture of their specials board so you can get a feel for the value. *Overall: everything here was fair, food, service, and ambiance while value was not great. Nothing bad, nothing memorable. A three-star experience for me. I wouldn't rush back, but wouldn't avoid it if I was in the area and others wanted to go. *Update: I have a strong reputation for detailed, honest, and trustworthy reviews. What we experienced is accurately and honestly captured in this review. There were no misunderstandings, our experience is captured exactly as reviewed. Any responses attempting to paint a different picture are not accurate. read more

Little breakfast cafe with all the basics! They have optimal spacing with booths and tables. The staff were so friendly and seated us quick. I ordered the cinnamon French toast combo and it was good. A little bland but very buttery. They also give you warm syrup which is so nice. Great portions and overall good. A basic breakfast is how I'd describe it. read more

Tried their vanity hot sauce on my omelette. I loved it. Chipotle smokiness with a nice kick. I bought a bottle for $5.95. Try it. read more

Decent restaurant for breakfast or lunch. They have some different items and lack a few of the usual I have come to expect. Seated almost immediately on most occasions. I've dined here with family, joined hubby for lunch here, met the (PC) gals here for a meal, and even met some fellow Dane peeps following Dogs Day in the Garden @ DBG. Service has always been pretty good. Food generally good. Well, except the coffee. I thought the coffee was weak. They have a good size patio area which is well shaded and offers high tops and standard seating. One of the biggest drawbacks, no Mimosas. Oh, and parking is sometimes at a premium. Fortunately, if you don't mind walking a few more steps you will have plenty of options. read more

5/30/26: popped in for a late breakfast and devoured it. The Dubai chocolate French toast was delicious. My sister thought the strawberry delight French toast was a bit generic, but she ate it. They have plenty of parking, quite a bit of patio seating, and it's a pretty large place inside, too. May have to pop in and try their lunch items sometime. read more

Stopped by when visiting friends in the area. I'm really happy we ate here, it was a great experience across the board. The menu has a strong selection for breakfast, lunch, and brunch. I decided to go with lunch and had their julienne salad, which was huge! It wasn't overly loaded with lettuce as filler, plenty to enjoy. I also had a bowl of their Tuscany tomato and rice soup. I don't remember the exact name of it. Again, a good sized bowl. The restaurant was quite busy but not overly loud. There was some confusion with the wait list that we needed to follow up on but other than that, a great experience across the board. Amy was our server and she was chatty but not intrusive and very pleasant. We'll definitely be stopping by again soon. read more

Went because finally there was a daily soup that was something we'd like! Yay! I ordered a Rueben because those and iced tea are my barometers for cafes! I want to tell you-- yep, they do a fantastic Rueben. The meat was just the right amount. I don't like a huge pile, but I want to taste it! Meat was not dry or chewy as some is. It was really nice. The sauerkraut was tasty and the bread seemed fresh. It was perfectly toasted. The server brought me 1000 island. I was surprised it wasn't already on the sandwich. The fries were pretty great-- very hot. Crispy exterior and soft interior! The iced tea was cold, loaded with ice and came with lemon. Excellent. A pickle was included. The soup....the reason I stopped in. It was hot, thick, and came with fresh lemon. It was a creamy chicken orzo soup. It was very good but did need a bit of salt. I never salt things but this needed something. Still-- best soup I've found outside of the Midwest so far. I took some home for another meal. I almost didn't want to go because of the owner's message to me previously. If a customer has an opinion- take it or leave it! We all have so many choices of restaurants in this area. I don't give stars for nothing. I think hard about them! The server I had could not have been nicer. The food was hot. Drinks were ice cold. It was clean and bright. It really was a great experience today. read more

Awesome food awesome service. Had Denver omelet and pancake and it was good. Nice atmosphere with people who work not standing around . I think it's an older staff and this is mostly why I believe it was smooth! Just saying. read more

Definitely a popular place. Quite busy but the wait flow went smoothly. The ambiance was a bit noisy due to the amount of many conversations of people. Not much of an inside waiting area but plenty of room outside on their patio. We were part of the lunch crowd. Excellent service, our server checked on us often & didn't rush us. I can't remember what other people in my party ordered, but I had a cup of the soup of the day, which was vegetable & the a Reuben sandwich which the Thousand Island dressing was not included but by request. No complaints about the food or drinks. read more

When visiting my friend in the Chandler area, we wanted to grab breakfast after watching a Tottenham match at a local pub nearby. Nothing beats a hearty breakfast after a breakfast pint and this place did satisfy our breakfast craving. When arriving we were seated immediately and the place seemed very spacious to accommodate larger parties/winter crowds. Once seated, we were greeted and advised the waitress would be with us shortly. Due to it being my first visit, I needed some time with the menu deciding but my friend knew immediately since she frequents this establishment. I decided on Garden Skillet ($14.95) and Coffee ($3.25). Overall, I felt like almost $15 for a skillet that didn't have any meat to be a bit pricey in comparison to other locations. Though I'm sympathetic to the rising cost of goods with inflation. It also didn't seem as seasoned as I would like, and lacked the wow factor. It still is a solid dish, but I would pick a different entree if I return. With friendly service and proximity to my friend's house, I will likely return in the future and would recommend to others for a typical local breakfast spot. read more

The service was good. I was not impressed with food, it was extremely overpriced. The food was similar to what you might get at Denny's, but higher prices, not for me. I'll stick to the Hen House, you can't beat their food, and prices are decent. read more

The worst food I have eaten in a long time and prices are outrageous for what you get. Don't go here

The atmosphere was nice but the food didn't taste very good. There wasn't a lot of flavor and it didn't taste fresh at all, almost like it was you rewarmed or things that were made inside of a microwave from the freezer. I tried the pancakes, waffles, eggs and home fries and none of it tasted particularly good respectfully. read more

Great Breakfast! Wow. Nice balanced menu of many good choices and specials. Something for everyone. I had the bacon Avocado tomatoe omelet and my wife had the house skillet. Very nice portions. This place smells like a breakfast place. Love it. Kaley helped us and she had patience as we decided on our meal. So helpful! We will come back again and again. Thanks Blackberry Cafe. read more

Blackberry Cafe - Biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and sausage. OJ on the side. Nice big glass! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I had high hopes after reading so many great reviews. Glad the restaurant has many customers that love their food, not sure if we were there on an off day, but wasn't impressed. Service was good, but the food won't bring us back. Ordered gluten free french toast with their apple cinnamon topping. Loved that the apples were crisp, but lacked in cinnamon flavoring. The French toast without the apples was okay. The temperature throughout was in consistent. The apples were warm to hot, but the French toast slices were warm to cool. Not sure if the French toast was sitting waiting for the apples to be warmed, so the toast cooled off. I was told the cinnamon French toast lacked flavor and needed the syrup. The scrambled eggs were dry and the bacon is thin and not flavorful. As I said, disappointing. Maybe we ordered the wrong items, maybe it was an off day. We won't be rushing back. read more

The food so sorry this was only our second time back and it was terrible. My omelet was so cold that the cheese was congealed with dry up fried up cheese on top. The bell pepper was extremely big and worst the hash browns were also cold and completely burnt!! Not happy at all. Our first visit two weeks ago it was good and we were excited to return today and what a let down! $63+ down the drain and just left the food there on my plate. Went to Fry's and picked up some fried chicken instead. What a sad bummer this is. read more

Black Bear Diner on Alma School Road in Chandler delivered a classic diner experience done right. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, exactly what you hope for when sitting down for a relaxed breakfast. The service stood out immediately--our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything arrived quickly and exactly as ordered. The food itself was hearty and satisfying. The steak breakfast was cooked well and paired perfectly with the traditional breakfast sides. The Shasta Scramble was flavorful and filling, and the drinks were kept refreshed throughout the meal. Everything came out hot and well prepared, showing the kitchen clearly takes pride in consistency. What made the visit especially enjoyable was the combination of comfort-food portions, efficient service, and a laid-back diner environment. It felt like the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy a solid meal, and leave happy. A great stop for a dependable, satisfying breakfast in Chandler. read more

These stars go out to the employees who cleared the tables and the waitress/ owner who cashed is out. The waitress watched us like a hawk, waiting for prey and as if, we were going to dine and dash! Lol A little disappointed in the honesty level of our waitress and the request for extra napkins, to only receive 2! ‍ Come on now...we want to wipe our Mouths, not our finger(singular)!!! I had the Florentine (Egg White) Benedict (I only eat egg whites) with 1 side pancake. My friend/pal had a meal, in which, the same waitress, went off assumptions with her order, and assumed that she wanted pancakes when the menu gave her a choice. My friend/pal doesn't even eat pancakes ma'am ‍ ‍ My food was good! Compliments to our Chef! The cleaning crew were AWESOME and on top of things, by taking away plates and dishes, as soon as, they were ready to be cleared. Our waitress not only, rolled her eyes after we requested more napkins but she also had extra charges on the bill which, were unexplainable. She did tell us that, it was busy. This is no excuse to not provide better customer service and to overcharge. When we asked this waitress about the charges, she mentioned that the extra fees were on the menu but, they weren't listed anywhere on the menu. We looked that menu over and over to see no findings, nor did the front have a note on up charging customers. The waitress needs proper training and preferably review the menu prices before, having a field day on receipts by adding her own charges. Intentionally or not Intentionally, this is a big deal! Honestly, I left a nice tip in hopes that it is split with the staff( The other employees had ideal customer service). Being honest!!! There's plenty of parking onsite Probably won't go back here due to being overcharged! I'm happy to support but, some of these restaurants make it hard when they have crooked shady practices going on. ‍ If you go, you might want to check your receipt! Almost a $10 upcharge is insane for egg whites and 1 pancake!!! read more

Hubby and I came in for a quick bite over the weekend and we were greeted by Stephanie, whom I suppose is new but I wouldn't have been able to tell! It was our first time in and she gave great menu recommendations, food was hot and fresh and everything was wonderful. Super cute inside and I thought it was really cool the owner (forgot her name, sorry!) came and chatted with us, welcomed us to the neighborhood and even was serving tables! I love to see that true family feel/unit in a small business! Loved it so much I even teased and offered to pick up a couple shifts during the week! Hehe! We will definitely be back read more

The service here is good and the food comes out prompt and served hot. This place always hit the spot when it comes to my breakfast fix. On my recent visit, I decided to go with this Carne Asada skillet with a pancake on the side, which was a really good compliment so you got something sweet and you got something savory. The skillet was spot on and my eggs were cooked perfectly. My kid outdid me and added avocado which I should done to put that final touch. Still looking for that amazing signature standout dish(es) that "brings all the 'berries' to the yard", but not yet. Low-key Breakfast and Lunch here and I'll continue to return. read more

The food was good, but I was not blown away. Everything is perfectly fine, a ton of parking, and nice service. I asked if I should get the pancakes or the French toast, and the server immediately said that the pancakes were the best. I'm extremely picky about pancakes, because if they are gummy at all, I do not like them. Unfortunately, the pancakes were gummy. The flavor was good, but I did not enjoy the texture. The eggs were good and the bacon was good. I would go there again. There is a lot of great outside seating as well. read more

I have eaten here several times but today, I was deeply disappointed with my experience. I was overcharged on my bill. Rather than charge it as a meal, I was charged for each individual item so my bill came to $30.00 just for two eggs w a slice of cheese, cup of coffee, 1 blueberry pancake and a fruit cup which was supposed to be a substitution for no potatoes and bacon. I tried to take it up with the owner and she simply said that I had a "lot of extras". My last time eating here. I have known she and her sister since they started this spot and was one of the people who helped to promote them with the City of Chandler....very disappointing! read more

Definitely would not return. Was there this morning for breakfast? I was enjoying my cup of coffee and three different occasions. Within five minutes. The server asked me if I would finish an order. I was not ready. The menu was still down on the table. I'm not a homeless figuring I'm a person of bikes to relax in the morning and take my time. I understand if they were busy and had tables waiting. I was perhaps one of two or three tables. my order came out perfectly just what I wanted and the way I wanted it, but I don't like being rushed. I finally sent the lady when I'm ready. I will will signal you. read more
