The food was out of this world!! Seafood crepe.......wife loved it. Service was very good. We talked with the owner/chef and he is a great guy! A little expensive but we'll worth it. read more

It was good, but not great--and I really think it has the potential to be great, so I'm open to giving it another chance. I ordered the avocado toast and asked for it without smoked salmon, but it still came out with salmon just not smoked.so I wasn't able to eat it as intended. My husband ordered eggs over easy but received scrambled instead. I also asked for decaf tea,and the only option available was chamomile--which isn't exactly what you want first thing in the morning. The service felt a bit off, as our waitress seemed pretty frazzled, which may explain the mix-ups. On the positive side, the blueberry croissant was delicious, and the carne asada breakfast was good. There's definitely potential here, but the details need to be more consistent to make the experience really stand out. read more

Overpriced on their sides. 2 pieces of way overcooked, extra crispy bacon that disintegrates in your mouth, $5. 1 piece of bread, $5. Crazy!! The latte was so darned bitter that I couldn't even drink it. Waitress never came back to check on us except for immediately after the food had been delivered. Then she just said "is everything good? Good." I didn't even get a chance to say anything. If you are looking for a traditional breakfast don't go here, they only have "specialty" items. If you like "different" breakfasts, then this is your place. read more

The food here is phenomenal! So many creative dishes using fresh vegetables. I had the crispy potato bowl with tofu and everything was cooked perfectly - Tofu, potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, brussel sprouts, asparagus, white beans, peppers, onion, garlic seasoned with Provençal herbs. Our server was great and the food came out quickly. Such a cute, quaint restaurant! Thank you for the delicious vegan and vegetarian options. read more

The food was delicious. I had the cheese between bread sandwich with the potato salad. Oh and iced tea. The water confused us. We didn't know it was infused with orange and other things. I honestly thought it was bad water from a well or bad pipes. Tried drinking it but, couldn't get past the flavor. Our waitress was super nice. I didn't get her name. The gal that sat us, she was not friendly. Again, no name but she came with a chip on her shoulder. I would return. Again, the food was delicious. The sign on the wall outside said we like to have fun. No one seemed to be having fun. Dogs are welcome on the patio which is great. It is small quarters there so a large group would need to make arrangements. I still feel it's a five star because of the food. read more

Wow! What a hidden gem! A sweet little cafe on Main St in Payson. Cozy atmosphere with a happy feeling as soon as you walk in! The food is the star here! Interesting menu items, wonderful daily specials and even homemade bakery items! The chef is the secret!!! Shhh! From a nearby "big city" enjoying the quiet life of a small town to the delight of locals!!! Only the best ingredients. It's the little things that make this cafe over the top! Espresso machine right out of a 5 star restaurant hidden behind the counter. Deserts to make your sweet tooth cry! French toast to write home about. Savory, spicy egg dishes your imagination couldn't have guessed. The staff are professional but so friendly that you want them to be part of your family. If I could give more stars, I would give 10 golden ones! read more

Such a cute place. We sat outside and had Mimosas and shared a yummy dish of Calabacita, eggs, and potato's Something to keep in mind when a fish is shared they charge an extra 5.00. We had plenty of food. Service was great. Will go back and try something different. read more

Duza's Kitchen - A sign outside - The image shows a chalkboard sign mounted on a blue wooden exterior wall, with a second smaller chalkboard attached. The larger board displays a message welcoming leashed furry friends to the front patio, with paw print illustrations. The smaller board lists a menu of canine cuisine options, such as pupscicles, scrambled eggs, bacon, grilled chicken breast, and wild salmon, along with a note to check the pastry case for homemade treats. The setting appears to be an outdoor area of a restaurant or cafe that is pet-friendly. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Payson, Arizona

We stepped into this little boutique breakfast place, not knowing what to expect. The food was perfection. The quality of the food was perfection. The presentation was perfection. And the flavors were sublime. The staff was sweet and attentive, and you felt like you were sitting in your girlfriends or your mom's home having breakfast and having every need taken care of. I would highly recommend this restaurant as a go to before you start your day. Thank you to the staff of Duzas kitchen for a great meal. read more

The food is usually amazing but today the sandwiches were not as good as usual. The cheese between bread was missing the avocado and the bacon was burnt on the turkey between bread. Both sandwiches were burnt on one side. The potato salad was tasty but had way more dressing than it's had in the past. The mocha was perfect. The staff were friendly and helpful. read more

The cutest spot in Payson! This home turned restaurant on historic Main Street has unique food offerings. I loved the open menu so that I could order breakfast for lunch (is there anything better?). Each dish in the breakfast menu is unique and interesting. We ordered the biscuit that comes with three different meats and the chicken and waffles - both were great! We also ordered slices of the lemon mascarpone cake and the carrot cake to-go and boy was that the best decision. The cakes were moist and flavorful - loved them! Service was fast and friendly and their bathroom is hilariously decorated with Boston terrier artwork. The cutest! read more

I've been to Duza'a many times. The food has always been fantastic, as well as the service. I truly think they have the best food and food experience in Payson. Last weekend (10/25/2025) we went for dinner and the food was amazing as always. However, I felt the energy of the staff was not up to normal standards. They were not rude, but low energy and kind of non-welcoming. We had wondered if we had done something wrong but got that vibe from the beginning and my wife even mentioned making the reservation earlier that day she got the same unwelcoming vibe. I hope it was just a fluke. Otherwise, terrific as always and I still highly recommend this place. read more

Great food. Great service. This is a small house that has been converted into a dining establishment. The menu choices aren't the run of the mill eggs, bacon, toast, although there are variations on that. We had the chicken and waffle, crunchy apple cereal (steel cut oats with cooked apples, raisins, almonds, and crisp, fresh apple slices, as well as corned beef hash. Our UK friend was in love with his hash, not a hash as we traditionally think of it but sliced baby potatoes with green and red bell pepper chunks and scallions with corned beef and two eggs any way you like them. It was beautiful and a generous serving. The cereal was tasty and what I needed to settle a stomach, comfort food. The space is small but turnover was quick and everyone was friendly. We hope to make it back soon! read more

Duza's Kitchen is a wonderful experience. It is my favorite restaurant in Payson by far. The ambience is so eclectic and fun and the food is the best! My hubby and I both had omelette's and we asked that they be cooked in butter not oil and the Chef/Owner was happy to do that. It was the best omelette I've had in years. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. They also serve excellent coffee and espresso. The staff were the best and knew the unique menu well and could make recommendations. This is my new favorite restaurant in this region. Would love to go back for dinner some time when I'm in the area. read more

We stopped in on our way through town and it was the perfect place for lunch! It's a small venue with only about 10 tables inside and additional seating on the front porch. This quaint mom & pop restaurant has the feel of eating in a family living room with low ceilings and pictures all over the walls (for sale). We started with a tray of fresh fruit which was delicious and was followed by the Cheese Between Bread sandwich and the Skewers (meat). Both were absolutely delicious and obviously freshly made! We had a an amazing piece of Lemon Marscapone cake to finish things off. The afternoon couldn't have been better! If you're looking for a quiet place to eat that's not a chain restaurant, this is your pkace!! read more

This is our go to spot when we visit Payson. We are usually there for brunch. This is our first time for dinner. And boy it was on point. The mussels were great starters.

Went inside because this place looks so cute. Front door was opened there were cool signs out front. We read the menus on the door and then walked in and it was really nicely decorated, but there was nobody in there .A dog came and tried to bite me and the owner came out and yelled at me. I can't even believe it. I told him your dog tried to bite me and he said yes because you are in my house? Ok I'm standing inside a restaurant but Ok please lock Your front door or put up a sign that says closed. He told me I was rude when I told him your dog just tried to bite me. Simple hours of operation and a locked door when you don't want people in your restaurant would be great for peoples safety and your liability. read more

We have been loyal customers & brought many people here over the years . Wife loved it, I liked it because I loved coffee drinks & Ciabatta toast w my beacon and eggs ! Price was never great ,but quality was . We both loved the Ciabatta and my wife actually makes amazing homemade bread . Today we ordered and they now serve a like "wonder bread " hotdog roll tasting and texture . I asked what happened to the Ciabatta and waiter would just keep saying that it's the same . When different person came to clean table . She said you will have to ask the kitchen why they decided to change it...She acknowledged as in agreement . Big companies do stupid and now our once favorite go to that we drove 70 miles at least twice monthly from Mesa for 5 years. Wife likes a lot of things so who knows if we go again but definitely not as often. read more

I have eaten here three times and I have had excellent service. I love the quaint charm of the restaurant and now that I am a resident of Payson I would like to be a regular. I have had dinner here and breakfast last night. I had the hunters strudel with my son having the beef Wellington. My only thing that I have not liked here is the noodles on my dish last night. There are nothing like what I used to have in Germany. They were different sizes different thicknesses somewhere undercooked somewhere overcooked, and this is not the standard here because I've eaten here three times and had wonderful food here. I can recommend the pheasant, I can recommend the beef Wellington, perhaps get something other than scalloped potatoes since it is a strange combination, I can write several breakfast items, and the desserts are very good. read more

Our experience was definitely not as good as the average Yelp review. We came for breakfast on a Sunday morning based on the stellar 4.7 star rating. The building, patio, and dining rooms are super cute and well appointed. We picked a table and got server attention quickly. They have a quirky thing where the parade a previously made platter of the special to each table. It seems a bit awkward, and one of the servers proved that by spilling it on the floor in the dining room. I told our server that we were avoiding carbs, and he nodded his head. I ordered the pork green chili with no tortilla. He brought me a bowl of pork green chile STEW full of potatoes. He came back to ask how our food was, and I asked why I was not warned of potatoes, and he shrugged and walked away. What appeared to be a manager came and asked us how our food was & I explained the situation. He also nodded, shrugged, and walked away. This seemed to be the answer to any problem. The scrambled eggs were actually very good. The pork in the STEW was overcooked and dry. The green chili was tomatillo base with pablanos and maybe jalapeño. It was mainly just potatoes. The coffee was old-fashioned and weak. Think MJB or Folgers. read more

This restaurant is all about quality ingredients, great family feel and great service! Clearly by over hearing the waitress talk to other guests and addressing them by their first name they have a lot of repeat customers. I ordered the chicken saltimbocca and it did not disappoint. The chicken was placed on a bed of raviolis that were amazing and the chicken was tender and juicy. I almost always bring home leftovers, I did not this night... I devoured it all.

Short wait to get seated on a Sunday morning... and they were able to accommodate us outside -- YAY! I went with the House Hash with my eggs over easy. Excellent! Tasty! Packed with flavor! My wife's meal, on the other hand, was kinda bland and boring tasting. Forgot exactly what she ordered... but it was a bowl and I was originally going to order it... so I'm glad I went with the House Hash! We kept it simple and stuck with water... and our server was quick to refill when needed. It took a surprisingly long time for our food to arrive... but I understand that one of their chefs was out that morning, so that explains it. Life happens. They offer a big handful of gluten-free options for those of you like me who need that! Gluten-free rating: *****FIVE STARS***** Overall rating: ****FOUR STARS**** read more

I've been wanting to stop here for awhile & I'm sad to say I found myself underwhelmed. Super cute location. I love that they are pet friendly. The menu is creative & you can just taste the freshness & authenticity. The vegetables & herbs were front & center. Service was personable. The bummer was while you could taste the freshness of the produce, everything else was massively lacking on seasoning. The hollandaise tasted like a plain cream sauce (and hollandaise isn't even a technically a cream sauce). The pork was just meh. The green chili was lacking body & richness. Then there was my biggest restaurant pet peeve. They charge for their sides individually. I just can't justify spending that much per plate & not having a complete meal. No matter how good the meal is or how quality the ingredients are it makes me feel nickel & dimed. All in all I'm glad I went, but I don't feel like I have to go back. I feel like I know a lot of people that would love what their doing. I can think of several off the top of my head that love this flavor palette. I can definitely recommend them. I just can't recommend their green chili or hollandaise & won't be one fighting for a table. So overall I have to rate them middle of the road. read more

After various failed attempts to eat Balkan food in Phoenix, this ended up somehow being my first time eating cevapi--or as Duza's menu calls them, "Balkan fingers." Much of the dish was excellent: the ajvar (roasted red pepper paste) and Balkan salad were fresh and great, and the bread was made to order though maybe a bit squishy. The sausages themselves were underwhelming, bearing a strange resemblance to American breakfast sausages rather than tasting quite so Balkan. Though I haven't had enough cevapi to really compare... read more
