    Service excellent- Walked up to patio and she seated immediately. She brought pup cups of water for each dog(2 ttl). Love dog friendly places! Ambiance - good seating for both dogs on patio in corner . Food? Always great here and I like to try new items besides the always awesome avocado toast. This time I tried the Southwest Croissant Sammie and oh my the chorizo was so good! Egg, Arugula , Muenster cheese and aioli super complimentary and this was huge! It came with toasted baby Yukons that were seasoned and roasted to perfection. Could not eat them all and had for breakfast next day. All in all- highly recommend this place!

    Came here on a date on a Saturday. It was last minute but we got a table. The food was so so. My date got the salmon Benedict which was alright. I got the chicken sandwich which was very pickle forward. I hate pickles. The slaw was actually mixed with mayo cabbage and chopped pickles. That's not described on the menu. I got something else which was the confit duck breakfast skillet. I enjoyed that much more and it was very good!

    Fabulous restaurant still hits it out of the park for me. And today I learned that you can ask for a half order so you can try several options when you're undecided! How great is that? Prep and Pastry is known for their GENEROUS servings and the option to try 2 or 3 selections in half portions is a great way to save calories, leftovers requiring multiple take home containers, and face when your dining companions observe glutinous portions! Sat on the patio which was bustling but surprisingly quiet. Food is delicious no matter what you order. A lovely start to the weekend. Love this place!

    We were visiting the area and looking for a place for brunch. Saw the reviews and decided to give it a try. So glad we did! Right at the start the coffee/tea drinks were amazing! Then the brunch foods were filling and tasty! If you are in the area stop here for a bite, you will not be disappointed!

    *All Hail the Omelette and prep potatoes, had it dashed to me to make my morning easy. Delicious. The mushrooms really made the dish!

    Cute ambiance, great service and yummy food! I probably wouldn't get the salmon Beni again but would definitely get the banana cream pastries and that yummy coffee. The prep potato's are definitely a must as well!

    Food was excellent but we were ignored by our waiter the entire time. We had to flag him down to order after waiting forever. Other people who came in after us already had their food and we were still waiting to order. Even when asking for a to go box for leftovers, he said he would be right back, but never returned. We had to flag somebody else in the vicinity to ask for one. She promptly brought one. The atmosphere was pretty chill. We came on Sunday at 1 PM and most of the big crowd had left already. It was lively but quiet enough to hear each other. The food was a 5 star rating, but the service really was about a 2.

    I drove by shortly after they opened and it wasn't busy, so I stopped in for breakfast. I love the atmosphere of this place. It's beautifully decorated and very bright and airy. The waitress was great. I didn't catch her name, but she took good care of me. I ordered the Rose Vanilla Chai and the Blueberry Yogurt Bowl. The chai wasn't my favorite. I usually prefer a more full bodied, spicy chai. The rose and vanilla flavoring was nice, but it's probably not something I would order again. The yogurt bowl portion size was huge, and their granola is delicious. It started to get pretty busy and a bit loud, but overall it was a nice start to the day. The baked treats case looked amazing, but I was trying to be good, so I kept moving. All in all, it was a nice breakfast experience, and I always appreciate having good restaurants in the neighborhood.

    A cute and bright spot for a brunch crew of any size! If you do stop in, make sure to get an omelette; they steal the show. Honestly, the potatoes that come with the omelette steal the show. They're fluffy and crispy and perfectly seasoned!! The pastries also lived up to expectations. Definitely richer than most but yummy. Unfortunately, the french toast was just okay. It didn't miss the mark, more like just grazed it. A bit too dry, with scant berries, but seasoned well. The coffees I would not get again, particularly the hot one. Very watery and I'm not even sure if it was fresh. And yet, this place is still worth it. The omelettes and potatoes carry the rest to a pretty satisfying finish!

    The seasonal salad with chicken is one of my go to lunches to grab when I'm in the area. It's honestly one of the best salads I've had in all of Tucson. The dressing is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I love the addition of sweet potatoes, and my favorite salad base, arugula. Service is friendly on the phone and when I pick up and it's always ready in 10-15 minutes.

    Dog friendly patio

    Love love love this place! Yummy food, drinks and pastries. Dog friendly patio. This is one of our favorite brunch spots. The food is delicious and they give a perfect portion. Every dish we have tried has been fresh, tasty and great presentation. They always have a diverse spread of pastries so we grab a few to take home. All of their pastries have been amazing. My favorite is their cronut and the raspberry pop tart. Lastly and maybe most importantly, is their delicious drinks. I love the butterfly pea mimosa! Their butterfly pea palmer is great as well. YUMMY! Their service is always great. Attentive and friendly servers. The ambiance is lovely as well- very welcoming, nicely decorated and a bright open space. The patio is quite large and dog friendly. One of the best brunch spots around- we look forward to coming back.

    Brunch!

    Visited Prep & Pastry for Easter Brunch today. Prep & Pastry continues to bring consistently good food and excellent ambiance to the Tucson Brunch scene. While busy, the staff was well prepared for the Easter onslaught. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient. My dining partner and I started out with Mimosa's (because, brunch!), The Cure for me and Fuzzy Navel Mimosa for herself. I got the Southwest Croissant Breakfast Sandwich and partner got the Monte Cristo. We both got the breakfast potatoes on the side. All good incredibly tasty. The restaurant had plenty of house made pastries available for nibbles. Thanks Prep & Pastry for a wonderful meal and great quality over the years.

    Stopped by to finally try this coffee spot out…read more It has a cute interior with chill vibes and extended back outdoor area for larger groups and outdoor games. Parking is a shared space so if there were a lot of people, it could be limited. There are 2 entrances, one being ADA accessible. The main reason for my 3/5 stars is just the price. I know things have become more expensive in our current economy but I was a little surprised to purchase a 16oz iced vanilla latte for close to $8. Maybe it's because I usually make drinks at home now but I was still surprised of the cost. It wasn't a long wait to get my order and the flavor of the espresso was tasty, not burnt. Still worth trying, especially if you like local coffee spots and are trying to support local. Just be prepared that it'll be a little pricier.

    New favorite coffee shop unlocked!…read more The space is beautiful with comfy chairs, natural light, unique decor, and outlets that make for a great study spot to stay for hours. The menu is full of creative flavors. I ordered the masala chai, which was strong, but delicious. My caffeine tolerance is low, so if I were to come back I would definitely get something that can be made decaf. The barista was also very friendly and quick. Zedamo also sells baked goods from Round & Round at the counter. I got the apple bread on my way out and it was perfectly crafted. I cannot wait to return!

    Cafe A La C'art is a slightly hidden, off the main track restaurant attached to the Tucson Museum…read moreof Art. It is an amazing pastry location and a great lunch location. We have been coming here for over ten years, either as a couple or when my work has events. They can be a little pricy, but it is an amazing location with charm. There is interior and outside seating. You order at the counter with menus provided to review. You WILL be tempted by the pastries. It is mostly sandwiches and salads...and pastry. The drinks are soft drinks, teas and limited alcohol. Food is always well presented, and they do accommodate changes. Staff are friendly but also busy. Did I mention the charm, the adobe rooms have tables and the decor bring the experience together. It can be loud at times, but not overwhelming. Definitely visit, especially if doing the courthouse tour, the Presidio or Old Town shops, other hidden downtown gems.

    I love the art on the walls so much and glad I came around 9am ish in the summer when it's less…read morecrowded so I can easily walk around and look at all the art pieces. Lots of nature themed paintings and photographs. I also really like their patio. I had the smoked beet sandwich and replaced the goat cheese with extra pumpkin seed-pistachio- sesame spread to make it vegan. It comes with seasoned fries/ green salad with herb vinaigrette/ or today's side a vegan potato salad. I chose the green salad with herb vinaigrette and really appreciated it had some pumpkin seeds too. They also gave me a sample of the potato salad but I liked the other food I had better. My understanding is that they use frozen potatoes for the fries vs fresh ones but season them with a seasoning mix. The pumpkin seed-pistachio- sesame spread in the sandwich was called "tahini" on the menu but it seems like it was sesame seeds in it not ground tahini paste. The sandwich was really yummy and great for summer. Ordering the first round is at the bar counter but once you are seated after your first order you can order more from the staff. I hear that there is a line to order at the more popular times but there was not a line when I was there. They had lots of great looking baked good. One was vegan and gluten free. Great place to have food at while visiting the Tucson Museum of Art. They share a small free parking lot. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!
