I finally got a chance to try Otro Cafe, and I can definitely see why it's such a popular breakfast…read morespot in Phoenix. I ordered the Famous Flapjacks with eggs and the linguica sausage, and everything was excellent. The flapjacks absolutely lived up to their name. They were light, fluffy, buttery, and cooked perfectly with just the right amount of sweetness. Honestly, they're some of the best pancakes I've ever had. The linguica sausage was a great surprise. It had a nice smoky flavor with just a little kick, and it paired really well with the eggs and flapjacks. You can tell they use quality ingredients and take pride in what they serve. The atmosphere was relaxed, the staff was friendly, and the service was quick without making us feel rushed. It's the kind of place where you can sit back, enjoy a great breakfast, and actually savor the meal. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu, but one thing's for sure: the Famous Flapjacks are a must-order. If you're looking for an outstanding breakfast in Phoenix, Otro Cafe is well worth the visit.

We went here on a Sunday around 11:30. It was packed but we were quickly greeted and seated. The…read moreserver was cool but you could tell she was a bit overwhelmed. Overall, the place was clean. Just prepare to be cozy because the space is small. The good reviews and pictures made me have high hopes. Maybe we went on a bad day, idk, but the food lacked flavor. We had to put a lot of salt, pepper, and salsa on it for it to be edible. I got the breakfast torta. It was flavorless. Even the chorizo, which is usually a meat with a ton of flavor. I also got a cajeta flapjack. That was good. My friends got the huevos rancheros, breakfast platter, barbacoa plate, and cajeta flapjack w/side of scrambled eggs. The scrambled eggs were flat and looked more like an omelette. The huevos rancheros was flavorless and needed lots of love. The only good thing besides the flapjack was the barbacoa and the linguica sausage. We opted out of drinks and ordered coffee from the cafe. I got the cajeta latte with half & half. It was delicious! I'd really only recommend coming here for the coffee. The food left much to be desired.

First time at The Toasted Owl Cafe. We arrived at 10:30 on a Saturday morning and it was 3/4 full…read more We were directed to a table in the center of the restaurant and given menus and water. They had a very unique menu at Toasted Owl, with many items cleverly named after the bodacious birds. My wife got the Three Tacos plate, my daughter got a gluten free blueberry pancake and soy chorizo, her husband got the Owl 66 and I got the 'Owlapeno Scramble'. The entire restaurant was decked out in owl decor, from the menus, clocks, glasses, wall decorations, cookie jars and trinkets, just to name a few. Everything in there was also available for purchase. Everything at the table was scrumptious in the most satisfying way. My scramble was so satisfying, with the cheese and pickled jalapeños and the three poppers on top. The breakfast potatoes were so savory, seasoned just right and the huge flour tortilla and salsa were all perfectly complimenting. We each ordered drinks that came in owl mason jars, which we bought for $2 each. What a hidden gem for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

The food and ice tea were good. I picked up a BLT with a clever Toasted Owl title, and took it home. I had a Club Sandwich. Would I bring Sweet D here for lunch? That is always the question. Yes I would. Would I schedule the Phoenix Cane and Walker Society Friday Luncheon here? The conversation would be a litany of "What? What? What?" if there were any amount of crowd in the main dining room. That will not fly.

The music and atmosphere were energetic maybe a little loud for my personal taste but the overall vibe was fun and social. I also noticed a nice patio area in the back of the restaurant. The layout of the restaurant was unique. I had never been to this location before. There is a counter-service area near the entrance where you can eat casually or order food to go, while the full-service dining area is located farther back. I I also enjoyed reading the historical displays throughout the restaurant that shared the history of Sunnyslope and the building itself, including its former life as "The Arbor." It added a unique local touch to the experience. I ordered the Ensalada Del Sol, which was generously sized and made with fresh ingredients. The chili-rubbed chicken was tender, and the food arrived quickly. My only concern was the consistency of the chicken. It was much saltier than expected and overpowered some of the other flavors in the salad. There also wasn't quite enough cilantro dressing for the flavor to come through. This was actually the second time I've experienced overly salty chicken here on the same salad, My bartender/server was friendly, attentive, and offered helpful drink recommendations. Even so, I enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and character of the restaurant and would return to try other menu items. Even on a Saturday afternoon parking seems to be an issue, however, I did notice there was a complementary valet service.

If you're looking for a can't-miss brunch spot in Midtown, Elly's is always a fantastic choice…read more It's the perfect place to grab a light meal after a morning yoga session, especially since the studio is conveniently located right next door. My go-to order is Elly's Delight, and I highly recommend adding the Lox--it's only a few extra dollars and takes the dish to another level. If you're in the mood to splurge, don't pass up their amazing pancakes. Another excellent option is the Spartan Omelette, which is just a few dollars less and delivers a hearty, satisfying brunch. Whether you're craving something light or ready to indulge, Elly's has something for everyone. Friendly service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a Midtown favorite that's easy to recommend.

The smoked brisket Benedict is the standout. The brisket is tender with a deep, smoky flavor. The eggs are perfectly poached, and when everything comes together on the English muffin base, it hits that rich, savory-sweet balance without feeling too heavy. The French toast is Thick-cut and caramelized on the edges, without being overly sugary. It's well-complemented by fresh fruit and just enough syrup so it doesn't turn into dessert overload too early in the day. Overall, Brunch Snob feels like a spot that knows how to do comfort brunch.

There was no wait on a weekday late morning, and my drink and muffin were prepared very quickly, and brought out to me in the patio area. The strawberry matcha latte definitely had fresh strawberry puree, and a Lot of it, which was so satisfying! They put a good amount matcha powder, and I feel that the ratio of ingredients was perfect. This might be slightly biased because I love banana and chocolate, but the banana chocolate chip muffin might have been one of the best muffins I've ever had in my life! They warmed it up for me so the chocolate was perfectly melty, and the banana flavor was just intense enough. I would come back for that alone. I definitely need to come back to try the food, and I hear the pupusas next door are divine!

Followed that up with the goat and wow what flavor. It was amazing and easily would go back for this. Service was good but could see if busy they'd struggle. Maybe was off hours. The main thing I hope to see changed was the salsa. It really was watery and lacking spice and flavor. I was surprised when I asked if it was the normal look and our waitress said yes. Overall great spot and easily 5 stars with improved salsa
