Sit down and prepare yourself as I tell you something that will change your life.
Ready?
Caffe Boa's brunch is the best in Phoenix. Hands down. I'm also making this claim without having ever been past the patio. If you don't believe me, check out the…More »

Dear FEZ,
We have courted on several occasions. At first I thought maybe we were destined to be casual flings forever. I loved your eclectic style mixed with your sensuality. I've always loved that you filled your delicious martinis to the brim, but…More »

Last night I met up with a few friends at FEZ. It was due to the fact that we wanted to go somewhere… Read more »
3. Ticoz Resto-Bar
Why the hell did no one drag me to Ticoz before now? Seriously, you all call yourselves my friends? I'm disappointed and saddened everyone kept this secret to themselves.
As usual I was craving breakfast this morning and was able to convince the…More »
4. Gallo Blanco Cafe
Gallo Blanco doesn't serve a bad breakfast, but I'm not sure I'd rush back. Just not really my style. My rating was a 3.5 but I'm rounding up to 4 because of how awesome the staff was with out table of 20+ on Saturday morning. We were able to get…More »

If you ask my friends how long it took me to decide on just one breakfast item the day we visited Local Breeze for Smunch, you will understand why I will try this place again. The menu looked fantastic. In the end I had to go with the local breeze…More »
6. My Florist Cafe - CLOSED
I have to admit that reading the vast range of reviews for My Florist made me debate giving them a 3 for inconsistency, but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and rounded my 3.5 up to a 4. It's almost hard to believe we all ate at the…More »
7. Postino Central
That's some damn good bruschetta. For those of you that are not a fan of the tomato persuasion, you know how comforting it is lately to see bruschetta that does not contain tomatoes. Not only does Postinos offer great alternatives, they are divine.…More »
8. Scott's Generations Restaurant & Delicatessen
I wanted to post a review on the waitress we had for Smunch yesterday, Nancy, but it looks like I can only review a business so I'll just update this one.
When I walked into Scott's this week and asked if I could make a reservation for a large group…More »

What a hidden gem!! I've been here several times already since finding it when I arrived too early… Read more »
9. 5th Avenue Cafe
I went to 5th Avenue Cafe today ready to have some brunch (well breakfast food really). I absolutely love breakfast. Aside from ice cream, it's my favorite.
The atmosphere was okay. We were at a huge table off to the side due to the large number of…More »
10. Maizie's Cafe & Bistro
I've been to Maizie's twice now, once for dinner and another for a drink with a few (or a lot) of friends. I haven't been disappointed yet.
Their drink menu is incredible. Lots of yummy items to choose from. I've seen great specials on wine and…More »
11. Morning Glory Cafe
I have to agree with Helen Y. I love the atmosphere at the Farm at South Mountain. However, the Morning Glory Cafe left much to be desired.
I didn't mind the wait, as that's typical during weekend brunch. I especially loved that we were lucky enough…More »

First rule of Brunch Club is that if you're going to be serving brunch, you have to be ready to serve brunch. The brunch crowd wants their food. They want eggs and pancakes and bacon and toast. Stat. At the very least they want coffee or a mimosa…More »
13. St Francis Restaurant
All hail the server that gave me a to go container of the caramel popcorn on my way out! There's a deeper, sexier story about the caramel popcorn.. but I'll get back to that.
Now that I have your attention... ;)
What a nice little place this is. I was…More »

Breakfast & Brunch
As much as I get disappointed when I have to give 2 stars, I always find that the description states it so well. There's no better word to describe this than meh.
I went with high hopes on a Smunch day, having never been and expecting some pretty damn…More »
15. The Duce
The Duce is really unique. It's like a big warehouse full of most of the stuff I could ever want. The store has some pretty cute stuff, but it can be pretty overpriced for just adding one embellishment to a plain white pair of long underwear. I have…More »
16. Hula's Modern Tiki
Atmosphere. Atmosphere. Atmosphere.
I am in love with Hula's decor, ambiance and overall sexy swagger.
And every time I head down Central, I make a point to stare at it, hoping I'm stranded in traffic to lust over its gorgeous window.
I've had some…More »
