We visited Elly's Brunch & Café on Easter Sunday, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! Despite it being a busy holiday, the atmosphere was great and we only had a 20-minute wait, which was surprisingly short for Easter. Our server was top-notch--super attentive with the water refills and kept us entertained with some great banter throughout the meal. If you're a coffee lover, you're in luck because they serve very good coffee here. As for the food: * The Steak: I ordered the skirt steak. While the market price was quite expensive (my only real complaint), I have to admit the steak itself was delicious. * The Pancakes: Absolutely perfect and very fluffy! Overall, a wonderful holiday brunch. Despite the price tag on the steak, the service and food quality definitely earned a 5 out of 5 from us! read more

12/31/25: what a great place to eat. The first time we tried to visit Elly's the parking lot was packed; there was no place for us to park. The second attempt was more successful, probably because it was the holiday season & people were out of town. Anyhoo, everything else about Elly's was wonderful. The inside was bright & cheerful; mirrors along one entire wall, could be a bit creepy (ha ha); industrial, high ceilings throughout; the seating was comfortable (not hard wood or steel); and the surrounding area outside Elly's was decorated still for Christmas -- and all of the bench seating was floral. Nice vibes surround Elly's. Our server, Savigne (apologies if I misspelled it), was attentive, friendly, and simply came across as generally happy. Drinks: Irish coffee & tropical chia. Wouldn't get the chia drink again. Food: steak & wild mushroom skillet w/ scrambled eggs, toast, and date nut bread; morning sunrise skillet also scrambled + a biscuit. I asked for no onions on the skillet and that's how it came to me -- and it was spiced perfectly that onions weren't needed anyway. It was also a large portion so I had leftovers. Final answer? I would highly recommend Elly's. Just be aware that parking could be a challenge, so time your visit well. read more

I've been goin to Elly's since I moved to Phoenix in 2020! Their portions are always great and their staff has always been very welcoming. I've gone through a bit of their menu the past few years and everything I've had has been really yummy! I will say, their food comes a bit oily, but nothing a little napkin blot can't fix! Order your hash browns crispy! Skip the coffee, but go with the orange or grapefruit juice! It gets busy, too, so prepare to wait 5-15 minutes on weekend peaks, but typically no wait on weekdays. read more

The food here wasn't bad. I ordered the skirt steak an eggs and it came out medium just like I asked. My biggest complaint is the wait time. We were told 15-20 minutes, but waited over 30. Not the biggest deal. The food my friends got was decent. The environment here is pretty loud for those who prefer a more quiet dining area. The service was friendly. I would come back only if it was on a slower day and I was in the area. I want to give a 3.5/5 but the app won't let me so I think a 3/5 is a fair rating. read more

Our server was great and very kind. There is very minimal decor inside and just kind of plain. The food wasn't amazingggg but it did serve its purpose so I cannot complain. I don't think I will be back read more

Had another delicious breakfast here at Elly's . We drove from East Mesa. Love this place sat outside it was a beautiful morning. I had the Steak and eggs and hash browns with some delicious coffee.

I always love Elly's! I have been coming here many times. My favorite dish from them is the Provence Egg Benedict. The eggs are served on a croissant! This time I got Chicken and waffle. The chicken was nicely cooked with the crispy skin on the outside so you would get a good crunch in each bite. The waffle was nice and fluffy. I added the hot sauce on the chicken and the butter and syrup on the waffle. Next is the corned beef hash. It was crispy and delicious and flavorful. Service was great! Our waitress was attentive and welcoming! read more

Had a great experience at Elly's. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was good. What really stood out though was our server, Sarah--she was amazing, super efficient, friendly, and made everything run smoothly. Definitely made the visit even better! read more

We decided to go here for Mother's Day this year. The wait was not bad (30 minutes) but once we were seated and ordered, the wait for our food just kept getting pushed back further and further. We watched several people leave with to go orders on a busy day where that service should come after those who are in person. After waiting an hour to get our food, we asked for the manager. Waited another 20 minutes and the manager never came out. As someone who works in hospitality, the wait time for our food left a sour taste in my mouth, but the manager not taking responsibility and/or accountability and coming out to meet the customers is a whole different story. I will be hesitant on giving a restaurant with management like this my business again. Please ensure you have better/stronger management in place moving forward. read more

Elly's is the place to do brunch! Joined for brunch around noon on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was very busy but we were lucky enough to grab a table outside. It was a chilly day but they have plenty of heaters to keep you warm! The service was lovely. Our server was kind and attentive. The food is also amazing. I ordered the skirt steak and eggs. My boyfriend order an omelette. Both so good, my skirt steak melted in my mouth and the eggs and hash-browns were the perfect accompaniments. Most dishes also come with your choice of toast or pancakes. I definitely got the pancakes! They were delicious. Perfectly golden, sweet and a bit salty. Let's not forget to mention they offer a happy hour! You can get a $3 Bloody Mary or mimosa. And they even have different juice options for the mimosas. I opted for grapefruit which I highly recommend. Unfortunately my phone did not eat first and therefore I have no pictures to share but please try Elly's, you won't regret it! read more

I ordered off of uber eats and that shii was so good i think they need good reviews on all the stuff i can find online - 10/10 highly recommend, will visit back in person next time read more

We ordered pick up for lunch. Good thing both of us went cause the parking lot was PACKED. It was our first time so we weren't entirely sure what to expect. The food was ready at the time promised and they made the coffee drinks when we arrived. The to go materials are top quality, so I told my friend the food has to be better. I drove around the parking lot, but she told me the place is deep. So much bigger than expected. We'll order again in the future. read more

Elly's is a definite must stop for brunch. This place is always busy and once you've dined here, you'll understand why. Service has always been great. The restaurant is a bit loud and can get crowded, but it's not a big deal. Food is great and prices are decent. Try a mimosa that are almost always on special. They're strong but good. read more

Came here for a quick breakfast on a Saturday morning! We were seated right away and our server was lovely. I ordered the omelette and my boyfriend got the corned beef hash. Both were good but nothing to write home about! The pancake was our favorite buttery and fluffy and definitely hit the sweet spot for breakfast. Overall not the most amazing place for breakfast but it did the job for us. read more

I'm usually not a big brunch person and often find it mediocre, but this spot completely changed my mind. My boyfriend took me there for my 21st birthday after it was recommended by his coworkers, and everything exceeded my expectations. The portions were great, the skillet was perfectly blended instead of just thrown together, and the French toast had the ideal texture -- not too soggy or too dry. The mimosa was the perfect way to kick off turning 21, and the open garage doors by the bar created such a fun atmosphere (highly recommend sitting there!). Hands down the best skillet in town -- especially coming from someone who's usually hard to impress with brunch. read more

Came to this restaurant because of a friend recommendation and let me tell you, their food was amazing from the skirt steak and eggs being so tender and juicy and the pancakes were so nice, the best I've had from all the breakfast spots I have been to. Soft and fluffy with a good buttery flavor. As for our server, Sarah, she was phenomenal constantly checking on us always and making sure we had everything we needed or checking if there was anything else we would like and having a great energy and Kindness which we always appreciate from a server . Finally the energy in the restaurant was great, as soon as you walk through the door the environment screams Sunday Brunch with so much lively chatter and happiness and enjoyment from everyone! Loved it all read more

The breakfast selection was delicious & there are a variety of mouthwatering options. I got the biscuits & gravy and it was quite yummy & not overly salty. A good balance with the eggs. The space is somewhat open & airy with plenty of tables. You can also find seating outside which can be perfect when the Az weather is pleasant. Whether you're planning a breakfast date, a family outing or just catching up with friends, this is a good place to stop by. read more

So I love the fact that it's open early!! The place seems very nice and clean. The food was really good, they made my hashbrowns extra crispy (perfect!!) and had great portion sizes (not too much). Our server was great nice and very attentive. The other workers seemed stressed and barely said hi ( or a forced hi, as my mom said). read more

Although the food was still good and consistent with my previous visits, the service this last time sucked B@LL$. I went on a Sunday around lunch time. My server was a full bearded older gentlemen. Some sort of middle eastern accent. He came around for drink orders while we were still looking over the menu. My date ordered a mimosa and I got iced tea. When my iced tea was brought out first I figured the mimosa would follow shortly thereafter. I understand Sunday is a busy day for dining establishments, so there is a little bit of leeway. However, when waiter came back out to take our food order, I asked about date's mimosa and waiter got defensive. His tone was off. "It's coming. We're really busy." Both hands up in "stop" formation. My date was in the middle of his food order when waiter had a squirrel moment. He started paying attention to the conversation behind him at a different table he was servicing. He never said, "hold on" or anything of the sort. Just simply turned his head away from our table and clearly listened to the other table for a few minutes. My date had to repeat entire order. I also never got refills for my iced tea. I was refilling my glass from the water pitcher that was left for us when we first got there. Waiter never checked in, "Can I get you anything else?" or whatever along those lines. We could've used extra napkins at one point but again we made do with the original ones given when we sat. I'm not sure if waiter knew he sucked because when I got my change, he only handed me $10 and $20 bills. The original plan was to tip $5. I guess I'll consider the additional $5 a convenience fee for him not spitting in my food. (Or did he?) read more

Baked Apple Pancake that serve up to 6 people depending on size ordered... say less! Uptown has been growing on me lately and this week while shopping nearby we stopped in to give Elly's a try. I knew I'd love it instantly with the cute vibe, happy waitress and the things I saw on their menu. I think I won the breakfast lottery. Of course they have your typical waffles, eggs and bacon, but when you see the baked pancakes, chilaquiles verde, and six types of egg Benedict you have to branch out; at least I do! Service was amazing. Water was brought to us and other drink orders taken while we looked over the menu. We all opted for water except for one green goodness juice. Quickly our table knew we were ordering a small baked apple pancake to share, biscuits and gravy, a breakfast sandwich and country fried steak. Most of our food came out quickly, but the pancake does take up to 40 minutes to come out depending on size etc. it does clearly state on the menu and we were told by the waitress as well. Time went by pretty quick while we chatted and enjoyed our other items. The gravy on the biscuits and country fried steak was so full of flavor and so good! Biscuits felt light and soft. The sandwich had so much egg and bacon. Delicious! When the pancake arrived we all about drooled! It smelled and looked amazing! It looked more like a pie with its fluffiness. Syrup and butter were brought out, but we didn't even use it. The flavor was perfect and spoke for itself without all the junk added. That first bite was heaven. Make sure to let it cool a little because it was hot. Even with the two of us sharing the small we had to take so much of it home. We were so full. Prices were fair, location was clean and parking pretty easy to find. This is a must stop if in the area! read more

I've been here 3-4 times and the food is always amazing!!! I always get an Omlette, but I've branched out and gotten the Berry Marscapone crepes recently (they were fantastic), the chai is amazing and so is the juice. You really can't go wrong! Sometimes the service varies, usually the servers are very friendly and attentive. There have been a few times where the server seemed a bit grumpy, but not often! It's always bustling in there! The inside is decorated very nicely, but the outside is truly where you should sit. The Courtyard area is nice and relaxing, great place to eat! read more

Good place to grab an easy and yummy brunch/breakfast. They don't try to outdo themselves, but they manage to keep it simple and do it well simultaneously. I come here semi-often and will continue to! Couple things you should note, however: 1.) If you're an omelette person, theirs are pretty good! Just be advised that they tend to cook them on the more runny side, and more than once I've been convinced mine has been (or actively IS) undercooked. A friend I brought here once was actually sick as a result of hers being this way. If this might be concerning, be sure to ask your server to ensure they cook it a little more well-done. I've done this many times and it almost always comes out the way I prefer. 2.) They have one of those big garage door things for when it's nicer weather, but be advised that flies are RAMPANT, particularly as we're gearing up for/coming down from summer months. I've had plenty of experiences where I spent the entire visit swatting multiple flies away. Aside from these two things, it's a great place. Their drinks are inexpensive and food is tasty. Good place for a nice little brunch. read more

Food - I tried the Kayana Scrambler and I don't think I would order it again. It has a lot of onions and very little feta cheese. I asked for the onions to be grilled extra and they were still more raw. I strongly recommend selecting the pancakes as they were great! Service - The server was very nice, but they lost our order so it took a long time to get our food. The manager apologized and gave us a discount. There weren't that many people dining when we were there so I'm not sure how that happened. Plenty of seating inside and a good amount of parking. read more

This was my first time at Allie's. I went for breakfast and it didn't disappoint. My friend and I put this Sticky Roll French toast. It was so late and flavorful. It came with four pieces and plenty of toppings. We each ordered an omelette and shared them. I had the Shroomed omelette and she ordered the Morning Sunrise. . They both were delicious I asked for crispy hashbrowns, and they came out a little bit more white and brown, but otherwise, it was a great meal. Overall, the place has a fun vibe with mirrors overlooking the restaurant so if you are facing the wall, you can still see what's going on. Our waitress was attentive and the food came out quickly. When I'm back in town, I would love to Visit. read more

Elly's Brunch has homemade corned beef hash. That was on my mind and it was in the proximity of my AirBnB. Honestly I must say I was a little disappointed with the quality of my product. Very fatty corned beef and way to much shredded potatoes involved. I'm sure it's a hit. It wasn't what I was expecting.

I came here for brunch last weekend and it was decent. When we walked up there were a lot of people waiting around, but the wait didn't take too long. There are plenty of shops to wander around in while you wait, it's a really nice shopping center. I liked that I could add pancakes as a side to my basic breakfast instead of toast. I didn't like that the server asked if me I wanted to add a breakfast meat on the side, but didn't mention the extra charge listed on the menu - I did not opt to add bacon or sausage for $3.50. There are some reviews mentioning credit card fees in the fine print that they try to hide so clearly they're kind of sneaky about that kind of thing. I ordered an iced latte when I sat down and it didn't come until after the food came to the table. Kind of a bummer but it was extremely busy and the coffee area looked small. The iced latte was really good. read more
