WOW!! I just got…read moreoff the phone with Allie, and her team - they are simply AMAZING!! I needed help today on Mother's Day - not to get/send something for my mother, instead it's my spouses birthday and we are apart this year - so I wanted to create a special moment from away - I went to Chat GPT to get guidance on what I could do to create a special moment - and Chat recommended AJ's, and I took the advice and was quickly transferred to the floral department - I felt immediately welcomed and cared for - I was inspired to believe that we could together, create an incredible experience - I was immediately spoiled with a perfect floral arrangement - followed with great guidance on how to put together a complete package - not just flowers, but also a small personal cake, I wanted to include mixed nuts for the resort stay as well as sparkling water - I was able to work with a couple of other store experts thats helped curate a perfect blend of items to include to create a special and thoughtful Birthday Package - and this all includes delivery to the resort - I didn't have to find someone to pick up everything and then deliver - when I say they made it simple and easy and very enjoyable - I might be understating how I feel right now - I feel so well taken care of - and that I'm for sure, If we lived in Arizona, we would become AJ's new regular customers/fans of the magic they create in their community!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for making today so super special!

Quiches and Pies is a local business that I heard about only very recently. I decided to check it…read moreout one morning and they had so many delicious looking pastries and quiches. I was only in the mood for pastries, but I would love to come back to try their quiches and coffee. There's a decent amount of seating, but not sure how busy it might get on a weekend morning. I opted for a kouign amann and a chausson aux pommes, which is like an apple turnover. Everything looked reasonably priced. The kouign amann and the chausson were perfectly flaky and hit the spot. I wasn't able to eat both pastries the same day, and I felt like they still held pretty well the next day. So glad I got to try this place and I'll be back!!

Full disclosure - would give 5 stars, but first time here, and I like to reserve the 5th start…read moreeither if I return, or there's something beyond exceptional. Summary - will be back and this place is great. There appears to be more artisan and patisseries beginning to open East of Phoenix. The biggest hype appears to be Sable' in Gilbert - reserving comments on that place, until I try it. In the same strip mall as Happy Jade Chineese restaurant, a law firm, a Nigerian restaurant (next door) and a small market, Q&P is a great find. Not an area you'd be looking for a patisserie. I love finding these places. Initial impression: very friendly, quaint, reasonable seating. Very comfortable, but not pretentious. One reviewer giving only one star, complained about not being timely served, but never discussed the food quality. I didn't sit down and was ordering to go, but the gal who served me was very friendly. I don't get the impression you have to pronounce all of the pastries with a French accent - and if you wanted to say Crescent Roll instead of Croissant -- or over pronounced "Crah-saunnn", they'd smile and still serve you! Food: I ordered Goat Cheese, roasted Tomato Quiche and a Chocolate/Coffee Croissant - excuse me - pain au chocolat-coffee. Both excellent. Quiche - 5/5 Croissant - 4/5. Quiche custard was soft, but smooth and creamy. Just the right amount of goat cheese. I only got one cherry tomato, would have liked a one or two more, but just got the wrong piece. Price $9.5. Croissant had kind of a coffee/chocolate paste as a filling - kind of like Almond paste, but with Chocolate. And then also just melted dark chocolate. Very good, buttery. There Quiche selection is diverse - from Lorraine to Duck confit. Something for every palate. Did not try coffee. Price not "cheap", but if you consider getting lunch at a sit down place with high quality ingredients, the $9.50 is reasonable. I forgot the price of the croissant. Its hard for a good bakery to balance between quality and price. There's just a plain lot of labor involved in making quality baked goods, and you have to have quality ingredients - just the butter alone. And, you need the clientele. So I hope they have great success. I'll be back!

Some friends of ours were kind enough to send us a gift card to celebrate a special occasion. I had…read morebeen here once before but it had been a while. The evening in ambiance was very nice, perfect for a romantic date. There's a second building between the front and the courtyard that's very open and inviting. We shared the pimento cheese dip with chicharrones and the sauce was so good we wrote down the description to try to make it ourselves later. I had the King salmon and my partner had the crab linguine. The crab was delectable, highly recommend. The salmon was good but a little on the dry side. For dessert we were too full to have anything rich so we went with the banana cream tart. Definitely a good option to try! It was delicious but light enough to eat after a big dinner.

We got the curious and Clooney cocktail (named after Georges), and the goat cheese board. The sourdough is local and the taste / portion was perfect. I got the harvest bowl with salmon and my mom got the cheese burger. Really generous portion and epic taste. Our waiter (didn't get his name) had great recommendations and was attentive. It is a bit pricey - but that's to be expected at a locally sourced / scratch kitchen and honestly it's worth it. So glad we popped in!!

Been on my radar to return after dining here for a Yelp event last year. This place can be busy,…read morebut thankfully, we were seated in a back area of the restaurant. I loved this little nook as it was quieter. What We Ordered: - Red Wine: My coworker ordered this, and remarked how much she enjoyed. Takes an edge off the work week, and a great pairing of catching up while I was onsite at the Phoenix office. - Curious Cocktail: The temperature of the day we dined was 111° and I needed something refreshing. They didn't have a Spritz on the menu, so I went with this. I did enjoy the flavor, but could only have one of these as pretty sweet. - Heirloom Tomato Toast: This was the perfect start to the meal, and the vibrancy of the heirloom tomatoes was refreshing. I really enjoyed the miso aioli as it really complimented the tomatoes. - Side of Crispy Potatoes: Sometimes you just need some carbs, and these hit the spot for a starter before entrees though it is listed as a side. - Dry Rub Chicken Wings: These were decent for wings, but I think I would refrain from ordering again as the sauce choices just weren't great. - Mercato Sourdough Pizza: My coworker throughly enjoyed this pizza, and it intrigued me to return to order one as I couldn't have this one (pesto). - Orange Olive Oil Cake: This was perfection! The salted honey whip + berry coulis helped balance out the denseness and tartness of the orange olive oil cake. Genuinely a contender for my favorite dessert this summer, and I've had a few when spending 15+ days traveling for work. I'd definitely would return here, and one of my new favorite spots in Downtown Chandler!

If you are in the area it's a great stop! Can't wait to go back next time I'm in town! Edit: I don't know how I left without some jellies but that won't happen next time

They have a lot of Arizona themed items, so it's definitely more for the tourists. However, I found the place to be an awesome local small business hub too!

However, they do have parking spaces out front.

We decided to just take one and share it and decided on the Frozen Hot Chocolate, which is made with Blue Bell chocolate ice cream, hot cocoa mix, chocolate sauce, marshmallow fluff and a "kosher" marshmallow. I'm just not a big sugar fiend so I found the shake to be extremely sweet and gooey...wife loved it! I didn't try the marshmallow but she said it was good and she could tell it was homemade. We decided we would try the store in Gilbert at some point this summer to see what other goodies they offer. Overall, a good treat and thank you for the free goodie! Sorry, there was so much going on at the moment, I didn't take a photo of the actual milkshake!
