Asian Jackfruit Bowl
Allison R.

After a tough workout at Burn Boot Camp, my friends and I needed some grub, and conveniently, Tryst Cafe was right across the road. In the spirit of the morning's workout, I decided to stick to healthy, and ordered the Asian Jackfruit Bowl... but also drank a cold draft beer... the most refreshing drink on another day of record-breaking heat in the Valley! Some of my friends seemed slightly disappointed with their food orders, but my bowl hit the spot. The quinoa was fluffy, and the Jackfruit was cooked to perfection in an Asian-chipotle sauce. The price was a little high at 18 bucks, but Tryst is a nice place for food, drinks, and conversation with friends.

Walked over to try this place for beer and an app. Definitely wasn't disappointed by the laid back atmosphere, attentiveness of the staff, and food and beer selections. Both my husband and I got local beers we hadn't had in a while and we also got the Parmesan garlic fries to share. The beers were crisp and again, brought over so quick. The fries were the perfect crispy texture and had a perfect amount of shredded parm and some parsley, but unfortunately the garlic was a little light (I would definitely ask for more in the future). Will definitely go back for a full meal in the future.

Love this spot! It's such a cute little place tucked behind our neighborhood. The food and drinks are always great, and the servers are consistently so kind and welcoming. Tried their new November special, braised beef tostadas, and they were SO YUMMY!

We tried Tryst for the first time last weekend. They take reservations which is great for Sunday Brunch! This is a small but comfortable restaurant with ample outdoor seating. The many many gluten free options were great. We can not wait to return to try additional GF options.

Meat Lovers Omelet Breakfast
Tim S.

We were driving by after a photo shoot in the area and decided to stop and have brunch on their shared patio. No wait for seating, server was really good about checking in. The Wife enjoyed her traditional Tryst Breakfast and I was excited to see a version of a traditional Hawaiian breakfast on the menu. Everything came out pretty quick and was tasty. My only feedback would have been that there is no salt or pepper on the tables, would have been nice if that was there so we could season our food to taste. Overall, glad we stopped by and we will keep this location in mind for the next time we are in the area.

Tortilla soup  Grilled Chicken & Goat Cheese Salad
Tyra G.

We were on our way to flagstaff and were looking for a lunch. Tryst has a really cool vibe. Started with the buffalo cauliflower. It was too sour and the ranch didn't improve the flavor. The soup and the salad were amazing!! Highly recommend! That broth in the soup was so flavorful. The service was excellent.

Brunch

Met up here with some friends. I had never been before and the Ambiance was lovely, clean, and sunny. The menu had a very nice variety, lots of GF options for my friend. I had the corned beef hash breakfast. Then leeks actually made it an odd taste for me so it was meh. I know it was freshly made and their recipe, just not my fav. The sweet tots were yummy. The service was interesting....the server was good, but he was not around very often, which was surprising as it was not super busy. He was kind and sweet regardless. The food runner girl was... special....four incidents that made us laugh and confused....first she brought us food and clearly we were still reading the menu; second, she brought me hotsauces I didn't ask for but there were hot sauces in the dish on our table already; 3rd, I asked for ketchup, she brought it and I raise my hand that it's for me but she put it in front of my friend further away; lastly, she brought out another dish and clearly we had already paid and finished... The interesting service won't detour me from going back but it was memorable to say the least.

Bison burger
Mark C.

Tryst is a nice little spot with a lot of options from egg dishes, French toast, pancakes, burgers, salads, sandwiches, tacos, seafood, coffees, teas, and smoothies. I tried out their bison burger and basic mango smoothie. This cost me $36.92 (includes tax and tip). The bison burger was pretty good; I wish it had a tomato in it though to complete it. The mango smoothie was very small for its cost so I would say to avoid that and stick to the entrees instead. Service was nice enough.

Fried Fish Tacos
Lisa L.

I came here for lunch with my sister. We ordered the beer battered green beans, which was very good. Then we ordered the fish taco to share. They give you 3 soft tacos in corn tortilla. I would've preferred flour tortillas, not sure if that was an option. The fish was great, and one taco filled me up already. But overall I felt it was just ok. I liked the ambiance of the place. Would love to come back for brunch next time. Our server was very nice.

Tryst Cafe--Chandler https://trystcafe.com/chandler/ Last night, 3-31-25, we decided to try Tryst Cafe for dinner. I found their menu on their website, and it looked really good. WOW--was this a good call. First off, the ambiance and service at this place are wonderful. The restaurant was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Devin was our waitress, and she never skipped a beat. She knew the menu very well, and all her suggestions were spot on. Devin was so friendly and attentive to our needs--We would come back to Tryst Cafe for the service alone--but you probably want to know a little about the food by now. This restaurant serves all natural meats with no antibiotics ever--not just the chicken, but beef and pork as well. Their attention to a healthy--good for you--menu is commendable. We started with the riblets and Parmesan fries. The fries were double fried--as all fries should be--so they had that crisp outside and soft inside. The riblets were amazing, and the sauce would make a flipflop taste good. My wife the all natural hamburger, and she said it was wonderful. I had the bison burger with white cheddar--it was outstanding. Our granddaughter had the fried fish tacos--she loved them--I nipped a piece of the fish and can confirm they were amazing. We all three had the sweet potato tots--extra crispy, as suggested by Devin--and all I can say WOW! We will definitely be frequenting Tryst Cafe in Chandler--I really want to to work my way through the menu. Honestly there are so many good things they offer that it's hard to choose. I highly recommend this restaurant, and they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I was looking for a place that focuses on healthier food in Gilbert and have been here a few times and have tried different things every time but my favorite thing I have tried so far on the menu is the Thai shrimp lettuce wraps, they're the best and Tryst also has a lot of cute drinks to choose from. Had the nicest bartender :)

Egg Tryst Benedict*
Sahar R.

What happened to Egg Benedict? Came in excited to try the Eggs Benedict, but left genuinely confused. What we were served was far from the classic dish -- instead of the expected English muffin, poached egg, and Hollandaise, we got something drowned in sauce, topped with a giant raw tomato that completely overpowered everything. It felt more like a random fridge experiment than a thoughtful brunch dish. The flavors didn't come together at all, and honestly, it just didn't taste good. If you're craving a traditional Eggs Benedict, this isn't it. Disappointing, especially since it wasn't a cheap plate. Also worth noting -- when we asked for a Flat White, the person taking our order had no idea what that was. Not a huge deal, but kind of surprising for a place serving brunch.

Tryst Café: Where Book Clubs and Almost Bottomless Mimosa's Reign Supreme If you're looking for a restaurant that can handle a small army of book lovers armed with opinions and an unhealthy obsession with fictional characters, look no further than Tryst Café. Our book club--nearly 30 strong--descended upon this establishment like a horde of ravenous readers after a six-hour binge session, and somehow, the staff didn't even flinch. Not only did they accommodate our book-loving chaos, but they did so with the patience of a seasoned librarian dealing with a rogue toddler in the fiction section. The service was top-tier--Justin somehow managed to keep track of our endless drink orders, dietary quirks, and passionate debates over morally gray love interests without breaking a sweat. (Seriously, someone give him a medal) The food? Chef's kiss. From indulgent brunch classics to fresh, flavorful bites, every dish was a winner--unlike the ending of that one book we still aren't over (you know the one). Whether you're in the mood for a hearty omelet or something plant-based that won't make you feel like you're missing out, Tryst has your back. The ambiance was warm, inviting, and just quiet enough that we could passionately talk about everything but books without disturbing innocent bystanders. And let's not forget the drinks--cocktails that could make even the most tragic fictional heartbreak feel a little less painful. If you're looking for a spot that can handle your bookish crew with grace, humor, and the efficiency of a well-organized library catalog, Tryst Café is the place to be. 10/10, would absolutely host another meeting here (and probably will).

You really can't go wrong here. Service was awesome--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We also loved the outdoor seating, which made for a really nice, relaxed vibe. My only con is that there aren't many vegan options. They do have some vegetarian choices, but if you're vegan, you'll likely need to modify a few dishes. Overall, a great brunch spot that we'll definitely be coming back to!

I had high hopes for Hash Kitchen, but this was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had…read morein a long time. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests. There was a group of servers standing around chatting, and no one acknowledged us for several minutes. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes before a server came over just to offer water and ask about drinks. We placed our drink order, and while the coffee came in a carafe, it wasn't even hot. The rest of the drinks trickled out later. Then it was another 20+ minutes before the server came back to take our food order. We ordered two simple build-your-own breakfasts and an Ultimate Grilled Cheese (no fries), plus two Cobb salads to go. Nothing complicated--yet the food took a long time to come out. During that entire wait, our server never checked on us once. No updates, no refills, nothing. When the food finally arrived, we ate, and again--no check-in, no "how is everything," no refill offers. Eventually, she dropped the check off without a word. We had to remind her about the two Cobb salads we ordered to go. She said they'd be right out, and a couple minutes later they showed up with a revised bill. Before leaving, we checked the salads--and that was the final straw. For $18, they were basically side salads. No cheese, no grilled chicken, no avocado, no croutons, no green onions, and not even any hard boiled eggs--just iceberg lettuce, a few tomatoes, bacon, and ranch dressing. Completely unacceptable for what's supposed to be a Cobb salad. We waited at the table for about 5 minutes for someone to come back--no one did. So we went up front and stood there another 5 minutes while multiple staff members ignored us, continuing their closing routines. Not a single person asked if we needed help, and our server was nowhere to be found. At that point, we left the salads behind, paid for the rest of the meal, and walked out. Terrible service from start to finish, and the food quality didn't make up for it. We won't be back.

Beyond the food, the coffee selection is fantastic, with plenty of choices for every kind of coffee lover. Inside, the café has such a warm and festive vibe--no matter the holiday, they decorate and make it feel fun and welcoming. There's even a board-game area, which makes it a perfect spot for families, casual hangouts, or catching up with friends. Customer service here truly cannot be beat. The staff is friendly, attentive, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. Morning Express also caters, and you can find them every Saturday at the Gilbert-Chandler Community College Farmers Market, which is just another reason we love supporting them. If you want great food, great coffee, and an even better atmosphere, Morning Express is the place to go!

If I could rate my experience today at the chandler Over Easy with infinite positive stars, I…read morewould. The wait was about 30 minutes (they have a nifty "join the wait-list" button on their site) but it was absolutely worth it. For starters, the service. From checking in to paying my tab, this was one of the BEST experiences in recent memory. I left my hearing aids at home and everyone went above and beyond to communicate. My server, Jonathan, was patient with me when communicating and even sat across from me to make it easier. He *intuitively knew* how to interact and it just blew my mind. Hats off to you, Jonathan - you deserve a raise. I ordered their over easy iced coffee, which was described as: Press cold brew, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, and cardamom. This was OUTSTANDING. The warm spices mixed with the sweetened condensed milk really filled out the drink. It was really good and I will absolutely be ordering it every time I come here. For my meal I went with their OG Wolfpack, which was 2 eggs, bacon and choice of cheese, between 2 layers of crispy hash browns. I chose cheddar cheese and scrambled eggs. They do have a choice to smother the stack in a sauce, but I chose to keep it as is to try at first (I did add some green cholula, and that rocked my world). This was pretty solid! I usually ask for my hashbrowns to be extra crispy, so it's on me that I didn't, but the hashbrowns could have been crispier. When I reheat my leftovers (the portion was HUGE), I'll crisp them how I like. I would also change my egg style to over medium. IMO, a runnier yolk would have been better. Next time! All in all, yeah... This place is amazing. I see why a reservation is needed, and I do recommend making one cause they're hoppin. I'll be back!

As I have said in the past, it's one of best and most consistent breakfast joints in the Valley. With an elaborately decent menu, their selections are usually above reproach. Again, their occasional or seasonal offerings are terrific... I unfortunately have an issue at my last visit here 12/19/24! I believe something happened in the kitchen that appears to be most unusual for Over Easy! Although I cannot state our meals of Chicken-Fried Steak: with House Redeye gravy, along with 2 any "over easy" eggs, and hash brown potatoes tagged along with some very good, nicely toasted toast, or Loko Moko: a hamburger patty (medium rare), a sunny side up egg, layered with some crispy onions, smothered in mushroom gravy over a bed of sticky rice were bad, we were somewhat surprised - they tasted relatively on par with previous meals at Over Easy, but there was a subtle disturbing after taste... that of rancid oil from each fried item! We're hoping that this a one-off... we may be back to find out.

The service stood out immediately--our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything arrived quickly and exactly as ordered. The food itself was hearty and satisfying. The steak breakfast was cooked well and paired perfectly with the traditional breakfast sides. The Shasta Scramble was flavorful and filling, and the drinks were kept refreshed throughout the meal.

Always hoping a local recommendation turns out great. *Service: the service was fair. Our waitress spent most of the time sitting in the booth across from us on her phone and checked in occasionally. A few times we had to ask for things we needed. Nothing rude, just not especially attentive or engaged. Definitely didn't feel like her #1 priority. *Food: I ordered the tuna *melt*. It was alright, but nothing to write home about. The tuna itself was relatively cold (should have been warm on a melt) and lacked flavor, the cheese wasn't melted (it's a "melt", right?), and the bread was good. I dipped and drenched in salt, pepper, ranch and hot sauce to give it some flavor. The fries were good, hot and tasty. Overall, it felt like a mid-level café sandwich made by a basic "cook", not a well curated restaurant sandwich. My lunch buddy ordered a smothered omelette that looked great, and he said it was very good, so that was good. *Ambiance: the atmosphere was decent. Very basic, a bit cold feeling, café-like, casual, and reasonably comfortable. Nothing stood out strongly other than it seemed pretty clean and bright. *Value: my tuna melt and fries, with no drink, was $16. Not great, not terrible. It felt like an $8-$10 sandwich max for what I got, not a standout value. I posted a picture of their specials board so you can get a feel for the value. *Overall: everything here was fair, food, service, and ambiance while value was not great. Nothing bad, nothing memorable. A three-star experience for me.
