Great and friendly service. Food was delicious. They had soft music playing and a good vibe. I really enjoy their pancakes!
Omg! This place rocks! First time here and Aurora was our server and she came with all the professionalism, personable manners, & just made us feel so welcome. Big, hearty servings and incredible flavors. My husband even created some drinks like Bleu's matcha lemonade with honey and Bleu's black peach tea with a shot of espresso. It was a diamond nestled in a great shopping area. Definitely gotta make it back there. This is my new #1 eatery spot for breakfast!
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.
Elly's Brunch had some real highs and lows for us. The waffle portion of the chicken & waffles was honestly a 10/10 fluffy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a brunch spot. Unfortunately, the chicken itself was a huge disappointment. I'd give it a 2/10. The legs were extremely thin and very dry, and two of them literally had almost no meat on one side at all, as shown in the photo. Personally, I would much rather have had two small juicy thighs instead of three dry little legs. On the positive side, the chicken fried steak was amazing, and they absolutely listened when we asked for extra crispy hash browns they came out perfect. The coffee and smoothies were also really good. Pricing overall felt fair for most menu items, but the smoothies and kids meals were surprisingly steep for what you get. Overall, mixed experience: some dishes were excellent, but the chicken & waffles chicken definitely needs improvement. I will say the server was very sweet and so was the host especially with asking the service dog line of questions. The manger asking a third time a little was a bit much and with the tone/stopping us half way to our seats but it's whatever I guess at least they are on top of it because we hate fake service dogs that typically cause issues with ours but maybe some better communication instead of immediate questioning to a very obviously marked and well behaved service animal would have made us feel a bit more comfortable. Overall we will go back.
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.
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!
I ordered pickup on a Sunday at 11:10am and it said the pickup time would be 11:23am. We got there and waited another 20 minutes for our order. When it finally came, one of our meals had none of the toppings it was supposed to include so the chilaquiles was just a plate of chips, cheese, egg and avocado. No queso, pico, etc. The other meals were good though. Our iced lattes melted and watered down because they were ready 20 mins before the food. The host (I believe it is spelled Hep) was AWESOME and a huge redeeming quality to the experience. He helped expedite the order and offered us water while we waited. We also watched him interact with a Karen who was complaining she never got a text about her table, and of course it ended up that she gave the restaurant the wrong phone number LOL - but Hep was super respectful and handed it beautifully and got them seated right away. Respect!! Anyway - disappointed in the wait time & execution of a lackluster dish after waiting almost an hour, but shoutout to Hep for being an awesome team member here!!
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. My friend tried the Chilaquiles Verdes and loved it. And Aurora did an excellent job on keeping the coffee filled and stopped by many times will be back.
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!
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.
Tasty food and Great service! Gets a little busy but not too bad! Spacious so they usually seat you pretty fast, 10/10 recommend.
10/10. Not sure why this place isn't viral... it is the best breakfast spot I've ever been to in my life. There is nothing that isn't absolutely phenomenal on this menu. Our server bri was lovely, Sarah is always so gracious and says hi even when she isn't my server. I got the wild mushroom skillet ( steak is soooo tender) and my friend got the marscapone and berries pancake. Can't wait to come back.

If you're looking for a can't-miss brunch spot in Midtown, Elly's is always a fantastic choice. It's the perfect place to grab a light meal after a morning yoga session, especially since the studio is conveniently located right next door. My go-to order is Elly's Delight, and I highly recommend adding the Lox--it's only a few extra dollars and takes the dish to another level. If you're in the mood to splurge, don't pass up their amazing pancakes. Another excellent option is the Spartan Omelette, which is just a few dollars less and delivers a hearty, satisfying brunch. Whether you're craving something light or ready to indulge, Elly's has something for everyone. Friendly service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a Midtown favorite that's easy to recommend. read more
This is such a hidden gem! You think you're in a basic strip mall and then you go around the corner and there is a great green(ish) space with a water feature and outside seating. Our server was wonderful and even saw one of our shirts and mentioned he also was from Indiana! It was such a great experience overall. Also, the drip coffee was soooo good. Food was great too and BIG portions! If we're ever back in the Phoenix area, we'd definitely go back! 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
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

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
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 got the gluten free pancakes with blueberries and a side of hash browns. The pancakes were thick and dense and it had a grainy texture. The blueberries were thrown on top. I assumed they would be included in the batter. The butter was fresh though. The hash browns were a large portion but they were cold and not seasoned. Very bland. 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

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

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

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

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
