First time to Prep & Pastry. The food was outstanding. The price was of good value, and the service was wonderful. My only complaint was, that it is so awfully loud in the restaurant it was hard to have a conversation. Seems like all the restaurants now have no insulation, no carpet and high ceilings. If it weren't for the noise I would of gave it 5 stars. Oh well it won't keep me from going back. read more

Prep & Pastry - Crème Brulee Donut. Pretty good but not worth $5. each. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This was a fantastic breakfast place. You can tell by how packed it was. I didn't get a chance to try their pastry but my steak sandwich did come in a buttery flakey croissant that was clearly made a few moments ago. I have yet to have a fresher croissant than that. My steak was equally good, marinated and cooked with chimichuri sauce with some rosemary in there too. If I'm in Tucson again, I hope to see you there! read more

Service was amazing. Orange juice was perfection. My niece had the french toast and I had the grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup. Everything was so delicious except the tomato bisque. It was too saucy, needed more cream or something. Overall would give it another try. read more

Excellent service/accomodation for our large group. The duck confit was delicious as were the pancakes and French toast. The cold brew and other beverages. We are definitely going back! read more

Nice, polite service. I think the food is mediocre here unless you like sweet stuff for breakfast. My salad was way overpriced for what it was. Meh sorry! I know it's a popular place :) read more

Pretty good food! Since it's in a college town, be prepared to wait while students get a free meal from out-of-state visiting parents. Love the french toast! read more

Great place for brunch! Wonderful cocktail selection (I had the Prickly Pear Mimosa and my partner had the Thai Fighter- both delicious) The Plain Jane pancakes themselves were good. My one request would be for a lot more macerated berries on top. The preps potatoes were delicious! Perfectly crisp and seasoned just right (rosemary in there maybe?) The ambiance was nice- lots of plants, natural light, and picture windows facing the surrounding mountains. The employees were all very kind and efficient. We came in less than an hour before closing which I hate doing and try to avoid. However, they never made us feel rushed or seemed exasperated. Maybe it's because I'm from New York, but I am not used to that! So kind. read more

Yum!!! What an excellent brunch place! They had some great options on the menu, including some vegetarian options which is always a plus for me. I had the Roasted Veggie Beni and it was good, but very different than any Eggs Benedict I've had before, as there were actual roasted vegetables on the english muffin, so there was definitely a crunch to the meal. However, it was still delicious and even better when paired with the potatoes, which were perfectly seasoned and tasty! My favorite thing about this place however, was the "dossants" and other pastries they sell - between my friends and I, I was able to try 3 different pastries and they sure do live up to them calling this place "Prep & Pastry!" I will definitely be back, if only to grab some pastries to-go since the restaurant is usually very busy. I'd recommend going at quieter times, like on a weekday morning. read more

Pastries and food are always on point. Service can be elevated it took a while for any employee to acknowledge us although the hostess were chatting with each other. It's been busier so I was confused. Although we normally like to sit and enjoy our food in the restaurant. Today we decided to pick up pastries and share them with our friends. One disappointing thing I've noticed is that prep rarely seems to have pastry boxes. It's disappointing to see that the servers place the pastries within takeout boxes with no regard. Today our 5 pastries were placed in the bag upside down. Each pastry is over $6 so I'm shocked there was no care. I asked the server to please get a separate box as she was trying to cram 3 in a box. I should note that I've had this experience a few times within the past year but I was hopeful it would get fixed. It's a bummer because the pastries look very nice in the case prior to them getting boxed up. read more

Prep & Pastry - The Beni - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I called 4 to 5 times to try to make reservations. First told me they don't take reservations. Then they told me they don't... Well maybe we do?? Then they told me they don't, but you need to do them online, so I did. They said you'll hear back immediately. Five days later I haven't heard anything, so I called (again) to find out if I have a reservation or not!!!! and again... they told me on the phone (we don't take care of that corporate does). WOW!!!. I've been planning a party for 15 to 20 people and they can't even tell you if they can do it or not!!! So, I don't know if the food is any good or not, but the service is horrible!! They just lost a large section of money and very good tippers!! I would NOT recommend this place & I'll never try them as well. I'm tired of crappy service and it's time to call out people for it!!! First of all... maybe teach your employees the simple way to answer a simple question: Do you take reservations! Wow!... what a concept!!! read more

Thank Alijah for the recommendation! My tastebuds are bursting with all the flavors. Definitely my favorite breakfast place now. read more

My wife found this place on our journey to Nogales and boy did we luck out. This place gave us one the best brunches. We had biscuits and gravy and the steak sandwich and both were fantastic. My wife has some of there mimosas and they were great as well. I would definitely recommend going to this place and will be back next time I'm in the area. So glad we found this place. Customer service was perfect. Get on the wait-list because this place was busy. read more

Food was good, service not very good-they were somewhat busy, however it took 30 minutes for the food to hit the table. Only other comment was it was terribly noisy-ridiculously noisy. read more

Honestly P&P is the best place to have a good healthy brunch in Tucson All egg dishes mainly the one with sweet potatoes are very tasty Toasts orders yet something you need to try along with blueberry Croissant and black coffee There are so many other options like Croissant sandwiches that I am planning to tease in my next visit read more

This place was such a disappointment! The staff/servers are great but the food was not good. When we dined in I ordered the sweet potato hash and the potatoes were raw. Honestly we have had better experiences with this place via DoorDash. The classic style breakfast travels well if you're in a pinch and need breakfast delivered. read more

Always a bite of freshness in a kicked back atmosphere!! Not your average pasty joint, it has that "twist" that keeps me coming back for more! read more

The Food mehhh. The atmosphere meh. Service meh. Expensive. Can't make poached eggs correctly. Duck plate was a waste of money. Eveything dry! Not hot. Had air-conditioning problems. Could not sit at the bar. Water craft were spotty and seemed un clean. No personal service from our server. Left zero tip. Will never return. Food looked good but ate dry as a bone. Not worth returning. read more

Yummy! The first time we were here we did NOT have a good experience. This time, the food was amazing! My fiancé had the Monte Crisco and I had a classic breakfast. The blueberry scone was absolutely fantastic! Food was cooked just as we ordered and no problems at all! Really glad we came back! Good flavor, hot food, good service. We will be back. read more

This is an awesome place to go for breakfast or brunch. They have the most decadent and unusual pastry selection at the front display, so be sure to get a few to take home. Warning, this place is popular on weekends and parking is challenging so be prepared for a wait. They have a vast menu, including a few different varieties of Eggs Benedict (my favorite). The classic Bene is served with pork belly instead of ham and rests on a biscuit instead of English muffin. It's very good, however they have been a little stingy with the Hollandaise sauce both times I've ordered it. More hollandaise please! There is an inside bar so if you feel like a mimosa or Irish coffee with your breakfast, this is your place! read more

Prep & Pastry - Eggs Benedict with pork belly - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I had lunch here today with three other people. We arrived before noon on a Monday in July, so I thought it wouldn't be crowded, but it was already almost full. However, we were lucky that a table was available so we didn't have to wait to be seated. I ordered the Duck Confit Hash ($13.00) and Maya Iced Tea ($3.50). The hash was tasty, but there wasn't much duck; it's mostly potatoes and bread (or waffle?). The tea was good, but it's pre-sweetened, so if you like your tea unsweetened, let them know when you order. I asked about pastries and the server said there were none left except snickerdoodle scones. I passed. But on the way out, we saw the scones and two types of brownies in the display case. I might have gotten a brownie if the server had mentioned them. Otherwise, service was good. read more

This is one of my go-to breakfast brunch spots for when I have people come in from out of town...or I just want a tasty weekend breakfast and a cocktail. The food is great and changes on occasion for the season which is nice. They also have fresh pastries that are drool worthy. Everyone from the hostess to the waitstaff are all very friendly and accommodating. Great vibes all around! read more

Doesn't cost much more to eat here than other places nearby. The food is pretty good although I suspect the orange juice is frozen. The place is clean. Lots of pastry stuff here. read more

One of our go-tos in Tucson for brunch! Love the mimosa bar set up at the table (the French 75 mixer is delicious). Can't go wrong with the menu, we love the omelettes, but the French toast amd poutine are great to share on the table. Locally owned, cute and casual vibe....excellent service! read more

Food has been a miss lately, and the price. Something has changed with the food flavor and overly oiled eggs

One of our favorite brunch spots! We always get the cast iron duck which I highly recommend! We sip with our favorite drinks, rose lemon mimosa and house Bloody Mary! When we need to stop by to just relax, we get our tea and lavender scone :) Thank you guys for giving us the best service!!! read more

Going out for breakfast is a little bit limiting for me normally as I do not like eggs. This breakfast and lunchish restaurant had lots of non egg options. My wife and I each had a different mimosa and both were lively and refreshing. The restaurant is very roomy with tall ceilings and one side is complete glass overlooking the Catalina Foothills. Very bright and cheery and the playlist coming through the speakers was fun listening. Ultimately it is about the food and I thoroughly enjoyed my Brie and pesto grilled cheese on toasted sour dough with a tomato soup bisque. My wife had a sweet potato hash which looked far too healthy and said it was just okay- not something I would of ordered especially as it had a big fried egg lying on top of it. The coffee was a little too earthy for me, but the service, food, ambience and overall value was a five stars, Probably 4 starsfrom my wife as they do not serve lattes or espressos. We bought a couple pastries to go which look really good. read more

Meh.... Just had the basic breakfast. Almost $16 for eggs, potatoes and bacon. Coffee not included. That's an extra $4.50. This was a simple breakfast and way overpriced in my opinion. The "jam" that came with my toast was disgusting. Zero flavor. Not coming back. read more

We stopped here for lunch. I've been here before but it's been a while. Here's a run down on what we had: Buona mattina omelette: it was an omelette with artichoke, tomatoes, arugula, mozzarella cheese, basil nummyness. Served with great seasoned potatoes. Steak and egg sandwich: this slice of heaven was tender steak thinly sliced, jalapeño cheese, egg on a brioche bun pile of deliciousness. Also served with the seasoned potatoes. The service was unfortunately slow. But the coffee was good and the food was excellent. We will be back. read more

Pretty decent. I want to give only 3 stars but something more like 3 and half would be more appropriate. The food has potential to be so delicious but I'm not sure if we came on an off day but everything was kind of lacking flavor. The mimosas were okay. I think I just personally prefer OJ. The beni could've been good if the asparagus was cook a bit more and the hollandaise had just a touch more flavor. The poutine was our favorite thing; could use a bit more of the gravy but still delicious. I would like to return some day for a second chance. read more

"This is my second review of Prep because my first, in all honesty, was boring. Here is the real deal..." Oh Prep, my sweet and savory Prep, how I love you so. This gem serves a transcendent breakfast; a marvelous piece of Heaven. The Best in our Desert City. This love affair started about a year ago; my wife and I were looking for something special for the day's first meal. We had been curious about this place-- good reviews whispered in our ears. We entered this cozy establishment to be greeted by a friendly hostess who uttered the words we all want to hear, "Sit anywhere you'd like". The scents were a magical bloom of bacon and other fine meats, fresh bread, pastries and biscuits, gravy and butter. A friendly server quickly greets us with water and a half carafe as back up; takes our drink order. For myself, always an Arnold Palmer; my wife, a spectacular looking Mimosa. The menu was quite a feat as everything sounded amazing. We chose a "Steak" and Egg Croissant and a Breakfast Sammie. So here's where it gets out of control. This work of art arrives at the table. Scents of well-prepared, garlic infused beef fill my head. Layer upon layer of perfectly prepared items topped by this aioli...oh the aioli. Others say "aioli" this and "aioli" that; this almost hurt it was so... don't have words to describe. My wife and I share everything; in this case I said to her before I took the first bite, "Babe, I'm going to have to this whole thing". She replied," It's OK I'm loving the Breakfast Sammie". So I slowly demolished this masterpiece, enjoying each flavor and nuance. I ordered this wonderfulness every time since (along with their sweet treats that I'll get to shortly). ______________ Jump to last Sunday... My parents just fully moved to The Desert City; foodies as well. They could not wait to dine at this marvelous establishment after the words of praise from my wife and I. Also, they love Commoner & Co (same owners) but that's an upcoming review. So now Prep is the "goto" breakfast spot, especially on the weekends; deservedly so. The trick now is using the Yelp Waiting List. From the comfort of your home you can gauge the wait time against your preferred dining time. For me, we wanted a table for 4 at noon and the wait was 96 minutes; so I got on the List at 10:44am with a check in of 11:55am. Waited until 12:15pm and we were seated. This fine place has the feeling of a home away from home--even when busy. We were ushered to our table and it was perfect. My father uses a small wheelchair when dining out; my wife mentioned this upon check in and they delivered. Our server quickly comes to the table with water; she knows we've been waiting a little to get into Prep. Did I mention the service is ALWAYS phenomenal? She takes our drink orders; 3 key lime Mimosas with a graham powder rim and my Arnold Palmer. She asks me about food allergies at the table and proceeds to bring out this mind-blowing pastry; their last one! A divine cinnamon roll covered in pecans and this gooey, rich caramel sauce. We devoured within minutes while in a food trance. On to the mains (apologies for the long review but I had to release some serious emotions about this place). My father and I ordered the Biscuits and Duck Fat Gravy with Fried Chicken, mom the Poblano Verde Beni with Carnitas, and my wife the All Hail The Omelette with Turkey Sausage. Everyone was thrilled with their dishes, but for me it started my second culinary bromance at Prep & Pastry. The Biscuits and Gravy were exceptional; my father and I wanted extra gravy which was brought out by our server in about 30 seconds. But this Fried Chicken... oh my Lord. I don't like to curse in reviews but my first words out after tasting this crunchy jewel were "Oh Sh*t". I've had a lot of Fried Chicken around the country and this not only measures up to the Greats in the South but is the best in Arizona. Very crispy with a perfectly seasoned crust; supple chicken within. As excellent as the Biscuits and Gravy were, I was on another plain of existence with the Chicken. Wow! We wrapped up Breakfast with a cup of coffee for the parents, my mother proclaiming that it was "really, REALLY god". That mean a lot coming from her. The bill contained Great Prices as usual. Conclusion: Everything Prep & Pastry creates is top-notch. Must tries are the "Steak" and Egg Croissant, the Biscuits and Gravy or French Toast with Fried Chicken and any of their pastries or donuts to start--all spectacular! Best Regards and Culinary Dreams, Bryan read more

Usually I give myself a couple of visits before making a judgment, but since I was only in town to visit a friend, this one visit will have to do. My outgoing flight was at 10:15am, so we showed up suuuuper early at 7:30am (my usual brunch time is... like... noon or later LOL) and were seated in no time. Apparently if you come later in the day (aka my idea of when brunch is), there can be a good one hour wait. The decor was absolutely charming and pretty hipster. I totally joked to my friend that I have gotten her to take me out to like, the MOST Bay Area/hipster restaurants that you could possibly find in Tucson. I got coffee (I mean, 7:30am!!!!) which was great, but the star drink of the show are, very clearly, the mimosas. I ordered both the Prickly Pear and the Prep Royale- preferred the Prickly Pear but both were great! For my main, I got the Cast Iron Duck Confit, while my friend chose the Sweet Potato Hash. Although I LOVED the ooziness of my eggs, there were a few issues there- I mean, while I thought it was a good-sized portion, it was presented in a bigger dish, which gives you the immediate visual impression that they didn't give you enough. Second, the dish was unevenly salted- but easily overcome by combining with the eggs. Another star: the "dossant". We got the raspberry/pistachio/matcha dossant, and I can tell you that I would've never expected to see matcha here, but I was so, so, so happy to. Fantastic layers, and the combination was perfect, with the burst of fresh raspberry juiciness, nutty pistachio and an authentic matcha taste. Seriously fantastic and one of my favorite things during my trip. Service was super nice although a bit slow- I did remember looking at the clock and being nervous that it was maybe 8/8:10am and we still had not received our food. Our server was friendly and even offered to get me coffee in a to-go cup (too bad the airport won't let me take it through security). Overall, I give this a 4, even though the main dish had a few issues. If I'm ever in this area again, I would definitely come here again. read more
