The café has a very nice, clean boho vibe inside, and there are plenty of menu options to choose from, including chicken, steak, tofu, and other proteins. They also offer fresh drinks, bowls, salads, sandwiches, and--holy guacamole--the cowboy cookie is to die for! I got my order to go because I wanted to save it for dinner later, and it was delicious. It wasn't exactly what I ordered, though. I had asked for a Mediterranean bowl with quinoa and broccoli, but later that night I realized there was no quinoa. Even so, it was still really good, and we'll definitely be back!

For two sandwiches, a coffee, a smoothie and a kids breakfast, we only paid $45 and almost met our protein and fiber goals at 10 am! The food was so fresh and the smoothies were spot on in flavors and texture (we had to get a second one to try) It's also inviting to kids as they have an adorable little table set up with wooden kitchen toys. Love those little details.

Let me save you from wasting money on "healthy" food that tastes like cardboard…read more.. This place is the real deal. We're trying to get our health back together, and this is one of the only spots where: You feel GOOD after eating AND You actually enjoyed it. We walked 3.5 miles to eat here today. Showed up with hydration packs. This place is classy! And they still welcomed us with opened arms. The owners are dialed in, the staff is ridiculously well-trained (think Disney level), and the place is always clean (like... bathroom-level impressive clean). They're always experimenting with new drinks and food too, so it never gets stale. Locally owned + best value we've found in a long time.

NOT WHAT YOU THINK…read more The Spitz moniker is derived from the rotating BBQ spit, middle-eastern style rotisserie used to slow cook their meats. The name of this restaurant isn't very becoming. But you will be coming regularly once you try this place. Mediterranean food has worked it's way as a staple across the country because of the use of numerous spices, it has an undeniable bold flavor that has become a favorite of the American diet. Here is no exception and lives up to the Mediterranean flavor profile expectations with an Americanized twist on the ingredients. I ordered on the app and found it quite user friendly, which encourages me to get food here more often with the ease of use and simple interface. You have to ability to add or omit ingredients from the menu items which makes for a very satisfying customized meal (and only have yourself to blame if it is a displeasing combination) BERLINER WRAP- meat and veg all in a flatbread wrap. There's a lot of ingredients packed in this thang, so for me, I had to use extra sauce to dip and coat it all in flavor. The problem with these wraps though, is that the paper it wrapped in was getting stuck to the bread and would have to constantly peel it off that thang and it was a mess, unless you just don't mind eating the paper for some extra fiber. MEDI BOWL- The bowl was felt healthy and hearty; an all-around good dish. The crunchy garbanzo beans were a nice element to contrast against the other textures in the bowl. Again, i liked it with more sauce, but that's just me. Everything tasted fresh and delicious and I want to try the other menu items in the future.

Wow! This is one of my favorite entrees I've had here!…read more The "Forbidden rice" bowl at $11.95 delivered in flavor and in quantity! I'm not vegetarian or vegan but I would gladly order this bowl again! A colorful mix of seasoned snap pea, bok choy, broccoli, carrot, onion, toasted sesame, red chili hoisin on a mix of black pearl and red japonica rice. I'm drawn to the combination of vegetables especially on the red Japonica rice. This nutty flavored, pale pink, medium grain rice (also know as Bhutanese Red Rice) has a slight chewy texture which I love. This dish tasted fresh was perfectly cooked and served hot at our table. Service was good and we timed it right by arriving at 11:40 before the lunch crowd came and filled all the seats. To end the meal we each purchased their chocolate chip cashew cookie. I buy this every visit and it is still awesome when baked fresh that day!

This was not the first time I have been to Flower Child. It's one of those places that I'll go if…read moresomebody else wants to, but I'll never choose it myself. I know my opinion is probably unpopular because it seems like everybody loves Flower Child, but it's not really my cup of tea. I fully understand, though, that that's just me. I do have some weird food issues. I will say this place is so bright and airy and just lovely. I love the paned windows that look out onto the patio, the very high ceilings, and the brown rattan lighting fixtures. Even though the space is quite large, it's extremely inviting. That said, it's a great place for something healthy. I feel like you can't go wrong with any of the choices if you're trying to eat well. My friends lunch looked much better than what I had. I had the Flying Avocado Wrap, and I didn't love it. In fact I didn't finish even half of it - - I took it home and my son ate it. I think it's the bread I don't like, and anyone who knows me knows I can be really picky. Will I come back? Probably. When I have lunch with somebody else who wants to come here, I won't have a problem with it. I would really like to try the forbidden Rice that my friend had. But I'm not likely to ever swing by here on my own.

We returned to Parlay Kitchen + Cocktails on a Wednesday and had a completely different experience…read morethan our first visit, in the best way. Javi guided us toward the Wednesday offering of their Parlay Chardonnay with bruschetta, and that pairing alone shifted the entire evening. We had only planned for a simple glass of wine, but his recommendation introduced us to something far more thoughtful. The bruschetta was bright and well composed, layered with fresh flavors that complemented the wine beautifully. I was genuinely surprised to learn Parlay has its own label. The Chardonnay was clean, refreshing, and balanced with the kind of crisp structure and subtle fruit notes you expect from a well executed glass. It felt intentional, not just another house option. We added wings, which were well prepared, and my husband ordered the beer cheese chicken Philly. I tried it and the sauce stood out immediately, rich without being heavy and full of flavor. What truly elevated the experience was the service, and Deedee set the tone. Her presence carries a level of professionalism that is rare, but it is her warmth and attentiveness that make her exceptional. She leads with confidence, reads the room effortlessly, and creates an environment where guests feel genuinely cared for without it ever feeling forced. There is a natural ease to how she manages both her team and the floor, and it shows in every detail of the experience. She is not just managing, she is elevating the entire operation. Javi complemented that perfectly with thoughtful recommendations and a genuine approach that made the evening feel curated rather than transactional. Our first visit left us underwhelmed. This time, everything aligned. The right selections, the right guidance, and the right leadership. We left genuinely glad we came back. If there is a Parlay near you, it is worth a second look.

Summary: Cute but confused atmosphere, friendly service, great drink menu, not good food…read more The atmosphere had a nice vibe, well-decorated in a trendy, nicer way but then absolutely packed with TVs playing sports. Like our area with just around 8 dinner tables had at least 6 big screens. I've only been to this location so unsure if they're all like this or the previous business just left TVs and they kept them? They kept the volume off which was great for eating and enjoying the company you came with. Service was great - friendly and attentive and handled our large party well. They also had the handheld machines for payment which made divvying up checks easy. The drink menu was extensive with a lot of classics with a twist and creative options. All the drinks came out looking well made. Mine was tasty! The food is what brought this down. Korean egg rolls sounded fun but were dry and boring. I took a couple bites and called it quits on that. The burger was especially disappointing. Listed as a 1/2 patty of brisket and steak, I sure wasn't expecting the tiny dry puck that arrived. It did have a good char on it. Just sadly thin, unseasoned, massively overcooked. Then it came on a dry bun. So so dry. The whole thing. A sad dry little patty on a sad dry bun. Butter? Mayo? Burger fat?? Anything would have helped. Then some lettuce, tomato, onion on the side. Truly one of the worst burgers I've ever had. Came with a small amount of pretty good fries though. All that said, I'd come back for drinks and fries. Its cute and they have happy hour and a great drink list.

The energy is always on point and the live music just takes the whole experience up another level. The tinga tostadas were absolutely amazing. So much flavor and perfectly balanced. The wine selection is superb, with enough variety to keep things interesting every time we come in. I do wish they had a few more steak options, but the New York is not an easy cut to get right and they nailed it. Cooked perfectly and seasoned really well. Kennedy took great care of us and made the experience even better. Liam, the busboy, was such a sweetheart and very attentive. You can tell the team works well together. It does get busy, especially with the live music, so definitely make a reservation. Such a fun spot for a night out with great food, great wine, and an even better atmosphere.

You can…read moreorder charcuterie boards but they also have a full menu of sandwiches, salads etc. I came in with a group and there was plenty of seating. The ambiance is very cute as well. We all got the lunch special which is a half sandwich with either salad or soup for $13.50. I got the blue cow grilled cheese and tomato soup. What a delicious sandwich! It had roast beef, a jam, pepper relish, havarti and blue cheese. It was really tasty and just the right amount of blue cheese to be tasty and not overwhelming. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal though I will say the person who got the brie, fig jam and prosciutto one was especially happy!

Stopped in today to order a charcuterie board for a wine tasting at my house in a couple of nights…read more I had heard about mingle and graze and sampled a number of their amazing cheeses when I was at wine tastings at Spin The Bottle right around the corner. This is a husband and wife team that manage and own both places. While standing at the counter, deciding what charcuterie board I was going to order I took a quick look at their menu and boy does it look good. Hummus boards, salads, and sandwiches. All freshly made in this little café, which is small but charming there is an outdoor patio with like four tables , but it's far too hot this summer to eat out there. For sure I'll be back in the fall out there with Luna enjoying this wonderful café. I was there with my daughter and what caught her eye was the muffaletta sandwich. A classic I couldn't get past the menu, grilled cheese sandwich, options, and asked the owner what was her favorite and recommendation. She immediately said the grilled cheese with birria and I think a Gouda cheese. We grabbed one of the booths and the sandwiches were out shortly. OMG, they both were unbelievable, but I had trouble keeping my daughter's hand off my plate. Honestly, this is one of the best grilled cheese I've ever had. And I consider myself a grilled cheese aficionado. Mingle & Graze is in a central downtown Chandler location, lots of parking out front. Love these little non-chain cafés with great homemade food that's different and original. I highly recommend you check out this place and when the weather is a bit nicer, order some food and sit out on the patio with a nice bottle of wine curated from Spin The Bottle. What a great spot
