Although parking can seem to be a bit of a nightmare right in that plaza, we happened to get lucky and get a parking spot right in front. The line also wasn't too bad, they had several different brunch options to choose from with a few of the favorites listed. I ended up going with the chicken sausage wrap and my sister had the french toast with limeades as our drinks. All very delicious! Will definitely be coming back.

First time at The Toasted Owl Cafe. We arrived at 10:30 on a Saturday morning and it was 3/4 full…read more We were directed to a table in the center of the restaurant and given menus and water. They had a very unique menu at Toasted Owl, with many items cleverly named after the bodacious birds. My wife got the Three Tacos plate, my daughter got a gluten free blueberry pancake and soy chorizo, her husband got the Owl 66 and I got the 'Owlapeno Scramble'. The entire restaurant was decked out in owl decor, from the menus, clocks, glasses, wall decorations, cookie jars and trinkets, just to name a few. Everything in there was also available for purchase. Everything at the table was scrumptious in the most satisfying way. My scramble was so satisfying, with the cheese and pickled jalapeños and the three poppers on top. The breakfast potatoes were so savory, seasoned just right and the huge flour tortilla and salsa were all perfectly complimenting. We each ordered drinks that came in owl mason jars, which we bought for $2 each. What a hidden gem for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

What an experience…read more The Reuben should probably be renamed the "Sauerkraut Sandwich." It featured approximately two slices of pastrami heroically trying to survive beneath a mountain of sauerkraut. The egg sandwich came on bread that looked like it lost a fight with a flamethrower. When my food arrived with the wrong side, the waitress's solution was, "I guess I can have them make you some onion rings." The enthusiasm was truly inspiring and a testimate to the industry. Speaking of service, our server spent so much time MIA I wasn't sure if she actually worked there or was just passing through. Then came the gift shop adventure. I bought 6 adoarable Toasted Owl branded cups, only to be told after I paid that they were used. Since buying previously owned & used restaurant drinkware isn't really my thing, I asked for a refund. The response? "Unfortunately, you already paid for them." I'm not in the tech industry, but I was under the impression someone had invented a way for money to travel in both directions. I think they call it... a refund. If you're looking for burnt toast, a sauerkraut mountain, surprise used merchandise, and customer service that's more of a rumor than a reality, this is your place. Cheers. Side note: Everytime I use those cups (after washing them again), I am going to make up backstories for all the patrons I assume used them.

The smoked brisket Benedict is the standout. The brisket is tender with a deep, smoky flavor. The eggs are perfectly poached, and when everything comes together on the English muffin base, it hits that rich, savory-sweet balance without feeling too heavy. The French toast is Thick-cut and caramelized on the edges, without being overly sugary. It's well-complemented by fresh fruit and just enough syrup so it doesn't turn into dessert overload too early in the day. Overall, Brunch Snob feels like a spot that knows how to do comfort brunch.

My daughter and her friend love this place also. It has become a regular place when we come to the city Thanks Lux for making a great place to stop at for coffee and chill

I loved this coffee bakery bar when I first tried it a few years ago--the unique furniture and…read moreinteresting food menu made it special. However, my recent visit was pretty disappointing. They've replaced the retro furniture with cheap plastic, and the music was way too loud for breakfast. To make matters worse, after waiting in line specifically to order breakfast, I finally reached the register only for them to announce that the breakfast menu had just closed. Between the frustrating timing, the downgraded decor, and how overly crowded it's become, it's definitely lost its charm for me.

If you're looking for a can't-miss brunch spot in Midtown, Elly's is always a fantastic choice…read more 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.

What a fantastic place. 4 of us arrived on a Saturday…read morearound 2-3 pm and it was packed I don't believe we had a reservation and we still sat down quickly. They have outside seating with a ton of misters. I believe that you can stay cool but if you're worried about frizz and your hair, I wouldn't do it lol They have a happy hour until 5 pm EVERY DAY!!! And PLENTY of options which is much appreciated. We all enjoyed our drinks, pretty to the eye and going down the hatch haha (espresso martini not on happy hour-see menu) We didn't get food but damn their ribs smelt so good, I have to come back for that. Plus, you can still order ice cream and I think that's so amazing and they look like they have so many delicious flavors. I want to try that as well. Service was awesome and friendly. Our waitress came back around before the happy hour ended to get any last-minute orders and that was really appreciated. You don't get that often or ever. I love the feel of the bar. It has a classic fuel makes you feel outside of Arizona. You can definitely go on a date, catch up with friends, or enjoy the bar to yourself. This is on my radar to come back as soon as possible Cheers

Wow, this is THE place to go for brunch and drinks! $6 cocktails AND $6 pitchers of beer?! That's…read moreunheard of! Coming from LA, I was blown away by the prices. Such an insane deal! The food options are great too. I ordered the fried chicken after hearing so many good things about it. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown for me. It was super crispy and juicy, but also really salty, which kind of overpowered the flavor. The mac & cheese was pretty basic, but the Matador and breakfast sandwich were both solid choices. And don't forget to check out the ice cream shop next door! They have some really good flavors. Overall, still a great spot for brunch, drinks, and an amazing deal.

But I wanted something hearty after donating blood the day before at Phoenix Fan Fusion. I felt like I didn't eat enough to replenish all of the corpuscles I shed, so a hearty late breakfast was in order. I was pleasantly thrilled with my choice of Presidio Cocina Mexicana, as the late breakfast I ordered did not disappoint! I ordered the Chilaquiles, which are essentially breakfast nachos, and you have a choice of protein to add. I chose the birria beef which was perfectly slow-cooked and complemented the corn tortilla chips, cheese, and eggs superbly. I opted for both the red chile and green chile sauce which coated the chips along with a generous layer of tangy cotija cheese. I asked for the eggs scrambled and they cooked them just how I like them... fairly dry and in a thin griddled layer. Add to this mound of well-seasoned goodness a decent dolloping of Tapatio hot sauce (and salt and pepper on the eggs) and I had endless perfect bites of spicy, meaty brekkie goodness that brought delighted yummy sounds from my grateful gullet! This was quality food and the couple at the bar next to me raved about the Menudo, so it has all the hallmarks of authentic Mexican fare. It restored me from borderline anemic to my usual strutting rugged caballero self. "¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!"

NOSTALGIC FOOD AND AMAZING SERVICE!!!…read more I found this gem on my recent travel to Phoenix. Everyone was very warm, super friendly and will make you fell at home. The menu is full of breakfast items and everything looked delicious. I ended up ordering the crepe sampler and it was oh so delicious!!! The crepes were soft, the fillings were good amount and fresh. Loved the berry spread on top. The latte was great as well and not too sweet. Overall a brunch spot worth trying in midtown!!!

Everyone there was friendly. Let's start with that! My server was very attentive to my every need…read more I ordered the French toast combo. I was a little disappointed with the amount of French toast. One thick piece couldn't half. I got two slices of bacon, which was perfectly cooked to my "bacon very soft" the pile of eggs was humongous and was certainly more than two eggs unless they were ostrich eggs. I asked for lots of butter, which came in the form of a pile of little prepackaged cubes. My fault that I had to open so many:) Certainly would've been a five star if I were not disappointed in the French toast portion. It was my favorite as a kid growing up. But I'd give it another half a star from four due to the scrambled egg portion if I could. A nice solid unrushed breakfast where I could take care of my email and other stuff on my phone while I relaxed waiting until my next appointment. Ask for Isa!

Went there on a Saturday morning. There was a little bit of a wait, but not too. Had a wonderful waiting area to sit with great vibes great music. Lively atmosphere. Being in Arcadia Neighbourhood, you see a mix of people. Everything from hipsters, to aunties and uncs, and people looking like they just left the set of Pop the Balloon or Find Love. As for the food, I had the catfish and grits. The catfish was cooked perfectly, well seasoned. Hot crispy fresh. The grits were a bit lacking as they were pretty runny but overall a good bite. Other people in my party got a short rib hash said it was delicious. The French toast and the pancakes are not anything different than what you get at any other high-end brunch spot. Prices of what you expect for a place like this, but all in all I would recommend.

They do have valet parking at this establishment or you can park on the side street about two blocks away for free. We opted to just park two blocks away. On this occasion, our server was very sweet. She was also a cancer zodiac sign, so very nurturing and she insured that we had a great experience. For food I have no complaints. I really enjoyed the grits and catfish and also a birthday pancake that was given to me by the establishment. I thought that was a really nice gesture, and it was delicious. The vibe and the food for this establishment is five stars. What I take issue with is the lack of glassware. I think if you're gonna offer sparkling wine or mimosas or even champagne, you should have the proper stemware. I thought that the mimosa flights came off very low brow and there was no way I was drinking out of what looked like glass baby bottles. When asked for a wine stem glass, they didn't have any. And I actually believe the server which they need to do better IKEA is not that far you can get some wine glasses. This is essential. I did also see that they had some upgraded bottles for bubbles and I wish I would've saw that on a menu as I would've purchased an upgrade it Prosecco or champagne. However, I would've been livid if I purchased an upgraded bottle and had to drink out of thick cognac glasses. Anyway, I would come back here, but I just think they need to do better on the actual glassware. It would elevate this establishment.
