I met a girlfriend here for breakfast and we were able to get a table right away. This restaurant is located in an old house with a big front porch. I do love restaurants in an old house I ordered the quiche, which came with a side salad and a muffin. I did not like the quiche at all--although I love quiche, the texture was too wet for me. I really didn't like wet eggs. The server was happy to take it back, and asked what I would like instead. I said scrabbled eggs, and she brought me some promptly. The eggs were quite good, as were the muffin and side salad. Kudos for that. This is where I have an issue. We had finished our food, but not our coffee. As we were still drinking our coffee, someone came to our table and said we would have to leave because a party of 6 needed our table, and "here is a cinnamon roll to go." We were both taken aback because we were in the middle of our coffee. We put down our cups of coffee and left. It really just soured our morning. I stopped for a coffee on my way home since I couldn't finish mine there. I don't think we will return.

I had a great experience here. My friend and I wanted a cute brunch spot and this was it! We were seated inside pretty quick. Seats are closer together due to the setup of a house. It's so cute though. The menu had great items and I ordered the psl French toast. Delicious! I got eggs in the side too. It was a bit pricy but worth the splurge for a fun friend date.

6/23/26 Outdoor patio area.  Has shade, fans & misters but too hot for my group on a 100+ degree day in AZ!

6/23/26 My Tuesday ladies lunch group of 5 chose this restaurant on Tues 6/16. When we chose it their listed hours were 7am-2pm. Apparently they switched to summer hours recently & now it closes at 1pm. It's a Women owned restaurant inside an olde cute building with 4 small rooms inside for dining. The food was good & our waitress was sweet but they really should provide a carafe of water on the table &/or provide larger water glasses. One of us almost always had an empty glass. We only saw 2 young ladies working (1 server & 1 waitress). Think with small improvements this would be a solid 4 restaurant. I knocked off 1 start for accessibility issues. There was 1 lady in my party that has a walker but luckily she was able to navigate in & out of the building without any major issues. The Parking & bathrooms are a bit of a walk & may be difficult for someone with disabilities. I only saw 1 handicapped parking space. Plus all but the handicapped space in the parking lot is just sand/gravel. There's only 1 door for customers & it's located at the very front of the building (closest to Gilbert Rd). Know that the ramp to get into the building is quite short & steep. Also, the bathrooms are shared by the buildings in the complex & located in a separate building located behind the restaurant. *The ladies bathroom was clean, had a baby changer, & AC. It has a nice sized patio that runs along the front & side of the building with shade, fans, & misters. Too hot for my group on a 100+ degree day in AZ. Think I'd enjoy sitting in that outdoor space when it's cooler.

Was such a cute spot for a date with a girlfriend. The old house had so much charm and character. I also loved that the porch was dog friendly, so even your furry family members can join. It's surrounded by adorable local shops, so the whole area makes for such a fun outing. The menu had so many options that it was honestly hard to choose because everything sounded so good. They also had an extensive drink selection, and I loved that they were able to turn one of the drinks into a mocktail for me. It was so refreshing and perfect especially since the Arizona heat is starting to kick in. The staff and service were incredibly sweet, attentive, and accommodating. After we finished eating, we walked around all the nearby shops to check everything out and walk off our food. It turned such a simple lunch date into a memorable little day together. Definitely a place we will be visiting again.

The worst French Toast ever! Look closely, it's a plate full of dry old bread, absolute failure.

Gilbert House, what happened? The space has charm, and the girls who work there are super nice and friendly. Our waitress was also fantastic. The food was so bad I had to send it back. Scrambled eggs that were scorched and crumbled, cold store bought sausage. The pancakes were horrible! Doughy and not cooked all the way in the middle, and the worst French toast I ever had. It was basically dry slices of old bread. Please see photos for reference. Huge disappointment...

Wonderfully cozy restaurant serving breakfast, brunch and cocktails. We used Yelp to get on the waitlist in advance and we were seated indoors almost immediately. Both the host and server greeted us warmly. If you enjoy sweets you MUST get a cinnamon roll! Since we both wanted a meal for breakfast, we decided to split a cinnamon roll for "dessert", making our calorie count egregious. Glad we did, though - it was served warm and absolutely slathered in creamy icing. Wow! My green chile omelet was delicious too, even though it ended up playing second fiddle to the pastry. Indoor seating is packed close together, which was fine with us - but if you prefer more space you'll need to brave the heat and get an outdoor table.

Food was amazing! It was rather annoying that the door had to constantly be closed by customers. Can we donate to make sure this gets fixed?

Food was good, room was hot. Seasonal pancakes were fantastic, and the Irish coffee was delish! Please get a door closer for a restaurant in AZ.

Egg that came with the Country Fried Steak. Glad I got it on the side instead of having the sweet gravy smothered on it.
Bren T.

Came here for breakfast Christmas Eve and was disappointed in the food. Super cute place and great staff and customer service, but the food didn't cut it. We sat inside and ordered the following: Green Chili Omelette with Chorizo - not sure how it pass quality control, but pretty sure rotten avocado should be a sign not to place on plate. Food was served cold, but flavor was ok. Country Fried Steak - food was also served cold and the gravy sauce is too sweet. Never had country sausage gravy that is sweet. Not a fan. Gilbert House punch Cocktails were ok. The fruit got stuck in the straw a lot so made it hard to drink the drink

Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll - $7.50
Diele K.

The Gilbert House is known for their Green chili omelets and cinnamon rolls. My boyfriend and I stopped in when he was visiting as I have been wanting to try as I love green chili and cinnamon rolls. It was a rainy weekend, but they were able to give us a seat inside as I wanted to see the interior. Old style house with tea time decor. Very cute, but quaint so you definitely felt cozy next to other tables. Next visit, I'd probably choose the patio for a little more me space. Our server was super friendly and offered suggestions/answered questions. We didn't catch her name, but the receipt said Allison. Appreciate the great service and even assisting when I spilled the little container of creamer. Always get embarrassed when things like that happen, but she was super understanding and brought over new silverware and napkins. As for the food, I wanted to love it but a few items fell short in our opinion. The cold brew + marshmallow flavoring and cream was my favorite thing of my meal. We ordered the caramel apple cinnamon roll ($7.50) to share to start the meal and we felt the dough was a little tight making it tough (possibly dough overworked and/or not proofed long enough). It could be the batch, so I'd always be willing to try as the center of the roll was delicious. Especially with the fall toppings. For my meal, I ordered the green chili omelet. Some of the elements worked, and others I genuinely questioned. For example, the chunks of cream cheese in the middle seemed strange as they were large resulting in a mouthful of cream cheese with only egg. Additionally, the green chili lacked much flavor or heat. I was disappointed, but must say my boyfriend's blueberry pancakes were fluffy and extremely delicious. We both said we'd return for those. Overall, I enjoyed the visit and would return to order different items and get the blueberry pancakes again.

Can't wait to try the breakfast here!

This local breakfast/lunch spot always looks so busy with a lot of people standing outside waiting for a table. I finally had breakfast here with a friend on a Saturday morning. They don't take reservations on weekends (unless it's for their special after hours dinners), but they do have a waitlist on Yelp. I didn't check the waitlist until I parked around 9:20am, and I was 11th in line! The wait was not too bad though for two people - 20 minutes later, I got a text that my table was ready. There is limited parking to the north and south of the restaurant, so plan accordingly. Also, the waitlist says the entire party must be present to be seated - not sure if they enforce that or not. They have a Fall menu right now - lots of pumpkin and apple flavors. We shared the Pumpkin Pancakes Shortstack ($9.95) and added a side of Apple Cider Sauce ($1) and Caramel Sauce ($1). We were not told of the additional charges for the sauces. The pancakes had a good amount of pumpkin spice and barely sweet, so it paired nicely with the sugary sauces. The Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll ($7.50) was pretty good and fluffy, though flatter than I expected. On the Breakfast menu, I got the Buffalo Scramble ($15.95). It's rare to see Buffalo on the menu, so I was curious to try. Both the scramble and hash browns lacked flavor, as if they forgot the salt. The hot sauce bottle on the table was much needed. My friend got the 2 Egg Breakfast ($12.50), and she also had to add salt to her dish. We enjoyed having breakfast on the patio in cooler temps after it had just rained that morning. Our waitress, Julia, was really personable and attentive. Overall, the experience was pretty good, but I think I would only come back for the sweet menu items.

I have a problem. I LOVE breakfast food options...like loooove them! My problem is that I never make time to eat breakfast when the food is fresh and when the really good breakfast places are open. I know....I'm not very bright. But I'm trying to be better!! One of the places I've wanted to try for a very long time is The Gilbert House. Confession: I should have tasted this place a loooong time ago! First things first, the aesthetics of this place are amazingly charming and give you that "I'm getting a homemade meal from grandma's kitchen" feel. Definitely adds to the experience. I was met immediately by Olivia (amazing!) and given a seat quickly. She walked me through the menu and I sooo wanted to try everything she suggested. I went with the Spicy Chorizo Omelet with a side or Corned Beef Hash (I almost got the Apple Pancakes as well.....next time!). While I waited for my selections, the Owner, Caitlin, came out and checked on me, a huge plus in my book! Without her saying it, you could tell how much passion and pride she has in the legacy she is carrying on and genuinely enjoys and appreciates everyone who stops in to experience her food. I love that! The food was amazing, the staff are amazing and the food is amazing (did I say that already?)! On a scale of 1 to 10, if you appreciate good fresh food, love to eat in a uniquely timeless place with character and charm, you need to check this out! I will be back to try the pancakes, and the green chili omelet, the French Toast, and, and, and...! PS, Makenna.....I'm so sorry I shut the door on you! Please forgive me :)

Pumpkin French toast

This spot has been on my go to list for a while now and we finally made it for brunch! It's such a cute spot and theres shops nearby as well! Parking is tight, so be wary of that. I enjoyed the omelet (hatch chile) and the seasonal pumpkin French toast! the coffee was amazing as well! We plan to order some from the cave creek roasters! And we even pre-ordered skme pie for Thanksgiving! Definitely add to your brunch list! We dined early so the wait wasn't long for us but I did join the yelp waitlist as well. Definitely take those into consideration when you visit!

Eggs benedict
Connie W.

The place is so cute, people are so nice, service was exceptional and the food was over the top yummy! We tried the cinnamon roll, which was told it was the best, and truly addictive! Recommendation on the green chili omelet and it was loved by the group, the eggs benedict was great, I also got a chicken salad croissant sandwich to go and was great, as well. They are open until 1pm until fall then 2pm. It is a busy place and outdoor seating with misters and fans. Everything is made from scratch and the bison is sourced from a family farm in the Dakotas. What a gem of a place!!!

SWEET AND SAVORY! My…read morehusband and I were in the mood for sweet and savory breakfast, and came here. We got the banana fosters French toast as well as the breakfast nachos (Chilaquiles style). Both were absolutely amazing! This was some of the best French toast I've ever had. It was stuffed with a cheesecake filling and had a great outer crust. The nachos were also delectable, the tortilla chips were crisp and homemade and the pork was trendy and delicious. Service was good. It's a small place in a strip mall, but they have great decor and murals on the wall. I'd definitely recommend coming here!

Tried the strawberry colada mimosa as it was the special of the month. I only tasted champagne with hint if strawberry no coconut. Name felt slightly misleading. Food: I got the banana foster French toast - this was really good not to sweet, nice crunchy ends with soft middle. Per usual no combo for French toast so a side of bacon was $4 and so are potatoes. They do offer a platter for $7 but it includes eggs which i did not want. We ordered side of chicken it needed seasoning bad. Service was okay I feel our waitress tried to connect with us but she was a little awkward. Slightly overpriced for food that is pretty simple in my opinion.

Another staff member brought our drinks after we ordered and our server eventually made it around to us after saying he had a bunch of tables - I get it, it was Easter! I had the prep sausage breakfast Sammie which was amazing. The potatoes that came with it were so deliciously crispy. I also ordered a blueberry lemon mimosa which was incredible. It was so light and refreshing. One of our friends had to ask another server to bring his hot coffee around after he was the only one to not get it. It was my boyfriend's birthday so they also offered him a free pastry. I tried the chocolate chip cookie he picked out which was so good. I told the server I wanted to pay for my boyfriend and he acted like he charged me, however, as he made his way around the table he ended up charging my bf for his meal! I was a little confused with our server but other than that I absolutely loved this place. I think it was just the rush of the holiday and all.

I think this spot is just popular so you're probably going to experience a hit or miss moment when it comes to service.

My husband and I enjoy kicking off our Sunday close to the opening hour at 7am. We eat a delicious breakfast option inside first. My husband orders a breakfast sandwich while I don't just like but LOVE the avacado toast. If available, we take our coffee and sit outside on the patio. The coffee is full bodied and delicious. My husband is a hot mocha guy. They have ice water at the front and in their spacious backyard seating area. It is a dog friendly destination. We enjoy seeing the wide variety of furry regulars.

My friend and I both ordered mediums with 75% sweetness, and it was the perfect drink for a hot, humid summer morning. Sweet enough to feel like a treat without being over the top. We also ordered matching bagel sandwiches. I do wish they offered a turkey bacon option, but the sandwiches were still hot, fresh, and delicious. The real star was the mayo aioli. I could probably put that on just about anything. The vibes are wonderful too. It's cozy, welcoming, and the kind of coffee shop where you want to linger with a friend for a while. My only critique is the layout of the front room. There always seems to be a line, but there's not really a good place for it to go besides in front of the entrance and the water station. It turns into a lot of "excuse me" and people weaving around each other. It's definitely a good problem to have because they're clearly popular, but I hope as they continue to flourish, they're able to expand into a larger space or rethink the flow a bit. Either way, I'll absolutely be back. Just save me another coconut brown sugar latte.
