Prep and Pastry is a solid brunch destination during the weekdays. Getting in and seated is a breeze. We chose to enjoy our meal on the patio since the weather was lovely; however, I recall there being misters at this location in the past. Midway through our meal, we all started to feel quite warm, and I found myself wishing that we'd sat inside. I ordered a seasonal matcha drink, but I must admit that their seasonal offerings can be inconsistent. Last week, I tried the coconut chai and did not enjoy it at all, which is rare for me! Typically, I go for the shakshuka, a reliable dish that shines even more with the addition of breakfast sausage, either cooked in or served on the side. I highly recommend anything that includes their potatoes--they prepare them perfectly! Great place if you're looking for cute, casual, and decent brunch spot. read more

This was my first time trying Prep & Pastry, and it was amazing! I ordered the avocado toast & my friend ordered the basic breakfast (eggs, toast, potatoes, & bacon). Both plates were delicious! The staff seated us quickly and placed our orders within minutes of us sitting down. This brunch joint is perfect for the brunch guys & girls who love aesthetic pictures and a bright place to talk with friends all morning. I saw they opened a location where I'm from so I am excited to try it back home! read more

Such a great breakfast spot! I've always seen how busy it was and wanted to try it. The monte cristo was delicious! My family also enjoyed their plates. Loved the decor and vibes and servers were attentive and friendly. read more

Ambiance is perfect for a brunch meeting with family/friends. No issues with service. Biscuits & Gravy with Fried Chicken: 4/5 It costs $3 more to add fried chicken but I highly recommend to do it. The chicken is well seasoned and has a crispy texture which balances the soft, smooth gravy texture and creamy flavors. Steak & Egg Sandwich subbed with French Fries: 3/5 Flavor-wise, the chimichurri marinated beef is ordinary and I can barely appreciate the effects of other ingredients. It was pretty bland. Also, the french fries was terrible as you can see they appear burnt in my posted pictures. I should have kept the crispy potatoes. Monte Cristo Sandwich: 1/5 Avoid this unless you want a plain sandwich with plain ham and swiss cheese. There were either minimal mascarpone or none at all because I didn't taste it. Plus, the cheeses weren't melted well as I could distinctively see and separate the layers apart. Tiramisu Cold Brew: 2.5/5 I enjoyed the sweet cream and the fact they provided a ladyfinger cracker; however, the name is misleading as the overall taste doesn't resemble tiramisu. read more

Got a chance to visit Prep & Pastry with my mom. Ate outside in the patio which I loved. I enjoy anyplace that offers outside sitting when we have great weather going on. Tried out the Southwest Croissant Sammie. Was delicious, loved the arugula and poblano aioli combo. Make sure to try it out next time you're in. Service was good, went on a Monday morning so was no wait at all. read more

Prep & Pastry - Southwest Croissant Sammie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Good food, good service, terrible atmosphere. It was uncomfortably cold inside. Couldn't wait to leave.

Yikes, where do I begin? I don't normally like to give one-star reviews, but for this place, I would give zero stars if I could. I don't understand the high reviews this place has, but we must have come on an off day. I'll start with the horrible parking lot. The lines in the lot have all but completely disappeared, which to many people means they can park however they want. Many people took up multiple spots because there were no lines, making a parking spot incredibly difficult to find. I had to wait about 5 minutes before another party left, and I grabbed their spot. Also, their lot has a ton of pot holes. They need to fix their parking lot asap. Once my husband and I got inside, we were seated right away, but then it went downhill from there. We waited for another 10 minutes before our order was taken. I got the All Hail the Omelette, and my husband got the Turkey Club sandwich. We then waited for 45 minutes for our food to get to the table but were suddenly told by our waitress that their system "went down" and our food order never got to the kitchen. Yet everyone else managed to get their food just fine, even those who arrived after us. I think our waitress simply did not put our order in and blamed their system instead of owning up to what she did. She also never once came by within those 45 minutes to check on us. Now I know why as she never put in our order. The waitress took our order again, and they put a rush on our food, but we only had about 5 minutes left to eat before we had to leave and go back to work. My husband scarfed down his sandwich, which he said was not very good as it was a toasted club sandwich, and it made the lettuce soggy and the mayo was warm (gross). I had a couple of bites of my food and then took the rest of mine to go. The omelette was dry, and the cheese was barely melted. The house potatoes are just smashed potatoes with no seasoning, very bland. They brought out a donut on the house and comped half of our bill, but in all honesty, they should have comped the whole bill and not bothered with the donut. My husband ended up giving the donut to a coworker as neither of us wanted it. All in all, we will not come here again unless we want to wait forever for our food only to have it never show up and have horrible service. read more

We were able to join the waitlist on Yelp prior to arriving, which definitely saved us some time. There was still a wait, but about 15 to 20 minutes. We ordered the poblano Beni, steak and egg sandwich, and sweet potato hash. One of the items had meat in it, and was supposed to be vegetarian, but the server was amazing and had it remade and comped that portion of the meal as well. The food was delicious and would definitely return for that. Great flavor and well-made! We also ordered two coffee drinks, which were a little too sweet so not sure we would order those again. read more

If you haven't had the duck confit hash, you are missing out. Their drinks are very good also. Always a great breakfast.

Big menu with very fun dishes, but overall under seasoned. Service was fairly quick and it's a cute spot. read more

We discovered this lovely place while visiting old Tucson. It was a found treasure. The menu was creative, and every time I've visited, the creativity was matched with great execution. I tried the Poblano Beni and later the Bliss Bowl. Both were amazing. My dining companion had the Ckickpea Scramble the Sweet Potato Hash and was equally enchanted. The service was friendly, because of course it makes one happy to bring outstanding food to hungry people. From now on, every visit to Tucson will include flagship plans to visit this remarkable eatery. read more

Prep is pretty popular in town, and it's not a good place for breakfast or brunch. The prices are a little high, so we usually only go with a coupon. On weekends, be prepared to wait, or try to get on their waitlist ahead of time, especially during the academic year. The service has been hit or miss for us, but we did enjoy the salmon toast last time we stopped by! Overall, not a bad choice but there are many more affordable places in town which I think have better quality. read more

This place is good, but it's not my favoriteee brunch spot. I don't find myself craving this place, there are better in Tucson. The food itself is good, I would just say not the most exciting. It's a cute place though, it has indoor and outdoor seating. This place is ideal for like a birthday brunch. Service has been good every time I've gone. Overall, no complaints, just doesn't wow me read more

I was famished when I visited Prep and Pastry in Tucson having just completed a grueling half marathon in West Saguaro. This was a popular brunch spot, so the wait was expected. We were quoted a 20-30 min wait time and it ended up being on the max end of the range. Fortunately there were a lot of chairs and seating inside and outside the entrance. I watched wistfully as food orders came out of the kitchen and were brought to tables. Everything looked and smelled so good. The pastry display case was also quite the tease. When we were finally seated we had combed through the menu several times and so put in our orders right away. I ended up selecting the house scramble as I just wanted to shovel food into my mouth easily. Our cinnamon morning bun was brought to us first and it was very good, fluffy and just the right amount of sugar/cinnamon coating. The scramble is a good scramble, lot of toppings and eggs cooked well so they're not runny/watery. I really liked the house potato side that came with it. Service was on it, efficient and friendly, but not like they were trying to rush you out. read more

We came here on a vacation to Tucson. Initially I thought it was going to be just an overpriced brunch place (which Tucson is ridden of) but to my pleasant surprise it was delicious, exceptional service, high quality breakfast options, and the green chile eggs Benedict is still a frequent conversation brought up around my house! Do go here! Eat some good dang food and don't forget to try a doughnut while you're at it. read more

P&P used to be our favorite place for breakfast and lunch but now the service and food prep is just average or less than. We waited quite awhile for a staff person (no hostess or servers anywhere) to seat us. It was not busy, only 2 tables occcupied. I understand meetings and breaks but I don't appreciate the hostess being chipperand not acknowledging our waiting. She could have said, for example, "sorry for the wait." And being chipper in a singsonging voice is insulting. Then our server did not come by for coffee refills and the food was burnt. I thought the burnt pieces of potata was the bacon - the kitchen forgot the bacon. read more

Cute interior, fun brunch place. I had the lemon blueberry French toast and it was fine, needed a lot more blueberries, but had a strong lemon flavor which was refreshing. Their pastries are just ok. Menu overall is pretty creative, would love to return to try their more savory dishes. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Very good breakfast, good service, friendly staff and quick service. We went for a birthday brunch.

Came here for brunch while visiting Tucson. The food was amazing! Tried the Cobb salad and it was dressed properly and tasted amazing. A bunch of us tried a lot of their dishes and the food was top notch. I started with the michelada which has tequila and beer and it was so tasty! I ended up getting two. For my entree I got the croissant sandwich and the croissant was crispy and fresh and it tasted incredible. Overall, service qas great and the food is well worth it. read more

Looking for brunch in Tucson?? Look no further than Prep and Pastry! This restaurant serves some of the best breakfast/brunch entrees in the area with a nice view of the mountains from the patio! I'd highly recommend ordering the French Toast & Fried Chicken entree with blueberry sauce on top. Another popular dish to order is the Monte Cristo served with homemade breakfast potatoes. Prep & Pastry is a popular brunch location in Tucson and for very good reasons...the ingredients were fresh and the food was phenomenal. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Food was okay. Fried chicken had no flavor but was at least crispy. Service was horrible. Ordered a "loose leaf" tea, came out with the tea bag string sticking out of the spout. Had to ask for honey, 10 minutes later had to ask some one else. Got a little 2 oz open plastic portion cup with no way to stir my tea, had to use my knife to stir my tea. Other member of my table ordered french toast and had to grab another server other than our own to get syrup because ours was either spread way too thin with too many tables or she just wasnt checking im not really sure which. Ambiance was good just really cramped the way they have their tables Over all 2/5 probably wont be returning :( read more

I absolutely LOVE Prep and Pastry! I've been to their Grant location a few times, but this was my first visit to this one on Campbell. I love this location even more!! I thought this location had a much more spacious set-up that I really enjoyed. The one on Grant is lovely but also a bit cramped in its corner spot. This standalone location here is very spacious inside and has large patio areas as well! It was raining when we ate there, however, so everyone was inside. It was very crowded and bustling on the Sunday afternoon that we went but we still got seated very quickly. The atmosphere is kind of like a modern farmhouse in its aesthetic - high ceilings and large windows with mostly white walls. It was clean and simple while also having a slightly rustic feel, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was loud and echoey inside, but I appreciated the vibrant atmosphere. The service continued to be very quick and we got our order taken with minimal delay. It occasionally would take some time to flag down the waiter afterwards if we needed anything else, but he was always very accommodating and quick to bring out anything. The food and drinks themselves were excellent, as usual. I decided to get my favorite, the biscuits and gravy with two over easy eggs (an extra $2.50 for eggs, $6 extra if you want a fried chicken as well). It was even better than I had remembered from the last time I got it! The gravy sauce was slathered all over the biscuits and was very rich and creamy. It went perfectly with the eggs on top of it, the yolk mixing with the gravy sauce and creating a delicious bath for the biscuits to soak up when taking a bite! There are also plenty of vegetarian/vegan options if you're looking for that, particularly the chickpea scramble or the breakfast bowl. I also loved both of the drinks I ordered - the serial celebrations cocktail for $11, which had some espresso liqueur and coco puffs on the top of it. Very chocolate-y but also quite strong! I also went ahead and finished off my brunch with one of the butterfly mimosas, which has lavender and lemon in it. An interesting drink before that is difficult to describe, but enjoyable nonetheless. I'd recommend giving it a try and deciding for yourself if you like the taste! Personally, I thought it was unique and tasty! Another win for Prep and Pastry in my books! I love this location, the vibe, and of course the food and drinks. I think it's one of the best breakfast/brunch spots to go to in Tucson and I definitely recommend trying it if you haven't already! read more

Had a nice lunch there today. The smoked salmon hash was delicious wi a light horseradish sauce. Veggies were done super well. My husband had the chimi chiri sandwich that he wasn't as delighted wi. We also ordered a cinnamon roll that had a great flavor, but wasn't really fresh at 11am. The tea was late and the cup wasn't clean, but they replaced it with a huge apology. Only one waitress??? I loved my dish, so I will go again. Rating should be 3.5. Good food, nice people, need extra support staff. read more

My group of 3 went for brunch but ended up ordering sandwiches. They were good, but nothing to write home about. I ordered the BLT, which was poorly constructed. There was one small tomato slice on each half, so most of the sandwich was bacon and lettuce. The lettuce was the innermost section of the Romain hearts and kept falling out, the fries were cold. The mimosas were very tasty, I had the strawberry honey. Service was slow, and our second round was forgotten about, but our server was very kind. I saw brunch plates at other tables that looked far superior to ours, so I'll likely stick to breakfast items when I try it again. read more

I like the menu and the food has always been good in general, no complaints about that. I went specifically because I saw on BringFido that it was dog friendly. When we got there, none of the outdoor tables were set up (understandable, it's hot). The hostess quickly brought us silverware and menus. The waiter wasn't rude, but he seemed annoyed. He brought us water for our dogs and still gave good service, just not enthusiastically. But hey, we have our days. I'll still be back! read more

Sometimes you just know when you go in the door... Breakfast, brunch vibe enthusiasm. Prep and Pastry checked all the boxes for me. FYI, they take reservations. Seated immediately and give a Devine cup of coffee. They do not however have an espresso machine, so specialty coffees are not available. However, their coffee was sublime, do there's a little with cream and some sugar. It's just that the place was humming with very happy customers. This place is in pretentiously hip and delicious. Lots of brunch choices, I choose the duck confit skillet while the rest had the traditional farmers breakfast. YUM! On the way out the door we also snagged some pasteries to go. Highly recommend read more
