Served Saturdays & Sundays from 9am-3pm, this spot blends classic breakfast comfort with creative dishes in a modern, artsy space (plus a dog-friendly patio and live music on Sundays ). Casual but elevated, with great energy and a menu that keeps things interesting. Standout bites to look for: Breakfast pizzetta: schreiner's sausage . smashed potato . roman eggs . rosemary . mozzarella . truffle cream . calabrian chili

I decided to go with the fish katsu sandwich, which was really good. The fish was crispy but not oily. The sauce and veggies balanced the sandwich well. The appetizers were good too. I had the cabbage, white sweet potatoes, and eggplant - everything was delicious. Seems like they like to bake/grill the food and then add sauces, which is a smart move because you can feel the texture of different ingredients coming together. The service was also good. The waiter was friendly and very commutative the whole time. Would love to visit again!

Don't skip it Uptown Phoenix folks, it's definitely up there in my fave breakfast experiences....and I love breakfast! The service was tip-too too. Engaging, fun, quick. Truly a job well done.

It came out pretty fast, which was nice, but it felt a little rushed. I got the avocado toast and was expecting something crispy and toasty... but it was basically avocado on soft, untoasted bread. My partner's egg breakfast came with an English muffin that also wasn't toasted. Nothing terrible, just a little underwhelming on the toast front. Great vibes and service though!

Just all around a lovely experience.

Everyone is always super nice and helpful. Today I thought they were out of scones but they offered me a day old scone for a dollar off. The scone was great warmed up and we didn't even notice that it was a day old. Love to see them expanding.

Very welcoming space in an enormous lobby, and easy to access. Chairs, sofas, bartops, tables... the seating choices are endless. Well lit, with a security guard tucked away to keep watch. The menu is straightforward, all the expected coffee choices, and a more extensive food selection than I'd anticipated. I chose to combine the avocado toast and substitute the toast for an everything bagel. They asked if I'd like chili flakes on that and... of course! The cappuccino was excellent, with dense, stiff foam, deep flavor, and perfectly portioned. The avocado bagel was phenomenal, with good, chunky avocado, spread thick on a buttered and toasted bagel. Plenty enough to spread along both sides and have a bit left over. The flow of customers was steady and they worked through all of the orders quickly and efficiently... really could not ask for a better quick coffee breakfast experience.

The servers were all friendly and accommodating and we ended up having great meetings and great bites. It's easy for staff to brush you off or act like your mistakes and problems aren't theirs, but when people show kindness and help, believe me, you really do remember. I didn't get your names but know that it did not go unnoticed. Cannot wait to come back to this location (and be much easier haha)

Even when we sit outside on the couches the bartenders will bring us our drinks if it's not too busy. I really enjoy the outdoor area because there is a lot of space for larger groups to mingle without it feeling like they are taking over the entire area. The indoor atmosphere is a mix between cozy and dive. It's brighter than a normal dive bar but you still have the option to play pool and hang out. There is a limited menu but the food HITS. Tacos and burritos. So good. Trust. Added plus: dog friendly! They have water bowls for the doggies :) we brought our dog and he loved all the attention from kind people that frequent this place

Food is delivered fast, within about 5-10 minutes after ordering at the counter. Staff here is friendly, patient and helpful when someone who can't decide between all of the options is in front of them. :) I ordered "the rebel" French dip and loved every bite of it. I especially loved the little side salad that came with it that I wasn't expecting. The French dip itself was savory, tender, flavorful and the horseradish added the perfect "kick" to the wrap. I'd definitely order it again but there were also so many other things that I'd try on the menu! I'll stop back every time I'm in Arizona because it's worth the trip to try everything that looks so yummy!

Naturals tones with pops of green make this a delightful place to meet up with your friends. I had the tuna poke bowl. The flavors were super bright and hit all the classic notes of poke.

I'm actually sad I found this on the last day in town, not my first.

We visited Jewel's bakery and Café today for the first time and I RAN to Yelp to leave this review…read more One of our family members was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, and we are learning the ropes of a gluten-free life. Going to Jewel's cafe was the most stress-free dining experience we have had in weeks. We ordered onion rings as an appetizer because they have been dearly missed for fear of cross-contamination in other fryers. I had the March special corn, beef skillet in honor of St. Patrick's Day and my dining companion had pancakes. Just the other day they said the things that they missed the most were crispy edged pancakes like the ones from Cracker Barrel and onion rings. Problem solved and all of the food was delicious. We splurged on some bakery treats to go. The macarons are excellent and I'm told the chocolate mint cupcake is epic. The real star of the bakery case is the cinnamon roll. The flavor is outstanding, texture is very good though has some of that GF crumbliness and it is not dry, thank goodness. It's really big and definitely enough for sharing. The bad news for me is that Jewel's is far from our house so we won't be able to go all the time. The wait on a Saturday at 10:30 am was about 40 minutes and they don't have the waitlist feature. They do take reservations for parties of 6 or more. It's spendier than traditional cafes but no more expensive than other GF options and all of their inputs are more expensive than traditional spots so that makes sense to me. In other words, this spot is more than worth the trip and the wait even if both are long because you will get good, safe food at a fair price.

Paris was good, but the experience did not warrant any return visit. They had a huge variety of options (sweets, meals, snacks, etc) in a few places near the ordering counter. The setup reminded me a school cafeteria. You pick up a tray, use the tongs to select your choices, walk up to counter, see more items peruse, then pay at the counter. The store was well decorated, very bright & colorful -- and the seating was quite comfortable (the whicker seats anyway). We ordered a wide array of savory & sweets. The salad needed more dressing, a few of the savory pastries were a bit chewy (had they been out awhile, maybe?), and most of the sweets were decent. The polite gal behind the counter offered to warm up the savory pastries but we declined -- I believe the heat would have made them more chewy. It was a bummer we didn't enjoy the food more. I see there's one in our neck of the woods. Maybe, maybe! we will try that location.
