Our flight was delayed and had to spend the night in Scottsdale. Skipped the hotel breakfast and headed to this wonderful place called The Eleanor. I loved the whole layout, decor, everything! It gives 70s vibes when life was carefree, warm, and personal. It felt like food was created with a lot of intention and love. Definitely not like your typical breakfast diner where they just give you a plate of breakfast food that tastes the same as every diner. This place is űber bright and cheery, has several seating options- tables, booth, and bar; and patio seating for cooler days. Today wasn't the day for us since it's 101°. Service reflects the warmth of the place. Our server was helpful and gave us time to look through the menu. Would love to come back next time I'm in town. read more

The Eleanor - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Fantastic ambience - we loved the garden feel and how spacious the set up was. Great menu, with lots of choices. Food came quick but we didn't feel rushed. Nice portion sizes. I ordered the turkey and gryure sandwich. Bread is fantastic and the ratios of fillings was perfect. We also ordered the churro French toast for the table, which highly recommend doing, unless you can handle a lot of sweet on own. This way everyone gets a little treat at end of meal. The whip cream was so fresh. read more

It was as busy as any brunch place on a Sunday. We lucked out and sat at the bar. The server was great!! She was very attentive and pleasant. The thing I liked about this place was the openness. It doesn't feel like they jammed twice as many people into a space that's half as small, so it's busy but not rock-concert packed. And, the food was great and the prices were surprisingly reasonable! Try the house made hot sauces!! Pretty tasty!! read more

First impression, put our name on the waitlist, ran late but they were so kind to hold our table for 15 minutes. Friendly staff, love the 50s diner chic vibes and the cleanliness of the restaurant. Drinks menu is a combination of lattes and classic brunch cocktails, small menu options, no appetizers. The wild mushrooms omelette was okay, eggs were not soft scrambled as advertised but still delicious. Homemade hot sauce were pretty good. Overall, will come back to try their Benedict! read more

We came a little over 30 minutes before closing (2pm) and they still seated us and served us which was really nice of them! I was debating between the chilaquiles and the chorizo y papas burrito. I got the chilaquiles before and had very little meat and only one egg, and the waitress talked me into getting the burrito, so I did. Chorizo y papas burrito was very dry. Both the hot sauces they brought were not my favorite so I was really struggling making the burrito moist. The fries inside tasted old and brittle. My fruit that came with it was not all ripe but was okay. The ricotta scramble toast my friend got was fine, she wished the bread had been more crunchy as it was hardly toasted and she could cut through it easily with a knife, kind of limp and soggy. And she said the chili oil was pretty spicy, but she knew that going into ordering it, so I won't dock points for that! Overall it was fine. Not blown away especially for the price. read more

The Eleanor is one of those restaurants that makes you feel like you accidentally walked into another era ,in a good way. The plaza alone feels like a movie set. We sat on the patio, which basically turned brunch into a perfect little vacation. The steak burrito was huge , big enough for two people .It came with fruit cups stacked with the freshest berries I've seen in a restaurant in ages. The mushroom omelette was amazing, and adding short ribs took it from great to fantastic. The country toast tasted like something straight out of a cozy farmhouse kitchen ,rustic and just really good. And then the cocktails. The menu calls them "wake‑up calls," but they should really be named "why we brunch!". Parking is easy, service is great, food comes out fast, and even though the menu is small, every item is appealing making choosing very hard. I will definitely be back. read more

For a minute, I thought I got transported to Palm Springs! I finally "woke up" from my dream when I drove to Scottsdale Fashion Square after within 10 minutes lol! The service was about 2 minutes too slow, but I looked back at the experience and wondered if I was just used to being rushed out because other breakfast restaurants always want to seat one more round of guests before closing. I couldn't resist and ordered a honey lavender matcha. Thank goodness it didn't taste like soap. The egg white scramble is more filling than expected in a good way. My husband's breakfast sandwich was loaded with crispy bacon and it elevated the sandwich to the next level! The roasted potatoes were very well seasoned too! I must also mention that both the red and green hot sauces are amazing. I like the green one more, but I know it's debatable. Arizona doesn't deserve this place. I might have just found the perfect menu for my birthday brunch in the fall! I'll be back very soon! read more

Came here around 10:15am on a Saturday, I messed up my reservations so we had to wait about 20 minutes no big deal. Our server was amazing. Super nice and attentive. The matcha was so good. I got the toasted vanilla and I got the Wilbur sandwich which was also exceptional. Great prices for being in old town Scottsdale. We were sat outside and there was plenty of shade to keep cool. read more

This place is a delight and a bew favorite for brunch. Fast and friendly service. I had brunch with my sister and we were seated right away. Our drink and food orders were taken shortly after. The menu has a lot of great options and I chose the Beef Po'boy. This was really good. Only needed a little salt and the bread was thicker than I expected. The poem portion was plenty though. I shared a pancake with my sister and loved the maple butter syrup. It was so good. The pancake was fluffy and just the right thickness. Our server Summer was amazing. I love that you can make reservations because this place got busy and we had gotten there at 8am. So be sure to make your reservation ahead of time. read more

Love this space right in my neighborhood. I enjoyed my French Toast. Challah, strawberries, maple butter, fresh whipped cream. I could have used less whipped cream as I wanted to taste more of the French toast without being saturated. Got crispy bacon as well as potatoes on the side. Generous portion. I usually don't care for a menu where most breakfasts are all carte. Still, I would come back here as not only was it tasty but the ambiance is very laid back, family friendly, a dog on the patio where we sat. Server was very hardworking and accommodating. Got here around 10:30 am, 5 min wait for 2. Parking in the front and back which I really appreciate it. I will definitely return! read more

What a great find! I love the retro vibe with a modern touch! When we arrived, we were surprised how busy it was for a late Wednesday morning but after our experience we can see why. We were greeted by the hostess team who were all smiles and friendly but Madalyn in particular stood out. There would be a 15 minute wait so Madalyn suggested we wait at the tables in the take out/side area. We ordered bloody Mary's while we waited for our table. The bloody Mary's were very tasty and themix is spot on. Madalyn even delivered our drinks from the take out register. Perfect! When our table became available, we walked through the restaurant and noticed a nice indoor-outdoor seating option which was wonderful it is so nice outside in the mornings right now. We were sat in Kaylee's section and she quickly brought us water and another breakfast cocktail. Kaylee was very friendly and attentive and went through the favorite menu items. The Eleanor has a nice diverse menu but we were all craving Egg Benedict's. We ordered both the Eleanor Benedict and the Egg's Blackstone. Both were delicious. The poached eggs cooked perfectly, the hollandaise sauce light and creamy and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The potatoes stayed crispy throughout the meal. We really enjoyed our experience at The Eleanor and will definitely be back. read more

First morning in Scottsdale and found The Eleanor. Loved the mid century vibe with its teal, gold and wood tones through most the restaurant. The menu is what caught my attention initially. Their unique takes on classic offerings were something I wanted to try. I had the breakfast hash. Delicious short rib, paired with fingerling potatoes, wilted arugula and brussel sprouts. This dish had a bit too much moisture which killed the potatoes texture. Otherwise the flavors melded together perfectly. The rest of table enjoyed the steak burrito which they raved about. The side of fresh berries was the icing on the cake. read more

Solid breakfast choice in the Scottsdale area! We were greeted and sat quickly even though it was pretty full even on a Friday morning. I can imagine a wait time on the weekend because the decor, service and food are all on point. Brightly colored inside and out, mid century modern full of teals, creams and natural woods, the Eleanor is a lovely and relaxing vibe. The menu has something for everyone, from sweet to savory and vegan options as well. I chose the steak and egg burrito. It was much bigger than I was anticipating, easily two meals for me, but full of flavor with tender steak and eggs in each bite. An absolutely delicious breakfast paired with a bowl of my favorite berries- so much better than the average grape and melon fruit bowl. I also appreciated the cup of coffee to go at the end our meal to ensue I had my fill of caffeine for the day. The Eleanor did not disappoint and I'd happily return here again! read more

This place is so cute! It's a blend of an old retro diner but mostly a modern feel. It feels light and open and bustling. We came here for my friend's bachelorette and were able to reserve a table for 7/8. Food was great! If I'm being picky, I would have loved smaller and crispier potatoes but the Eleanor Benedict was fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised at the first bite. Wow! My muffin was crispy, the eggs felt fresh, and the ham was thin and tasty. I don't think I could have had a better eggs Benedict! The service was great. Would love to come back here if I'm in the area! read more

This one was on my bucket list and it did not disappoint! What a cool place that was open, cool colors, plants all around, and friendly, attentive servers! We ate inside but patio was really cute and nice as well. I like that the menu is not big, just great options for all palates. We went for brunch on a Sunday, and there was about a 20 minute wait, but worth it. I had the Buddah bowl and it was fantastic!! Fresh ingredients and nice portion. My friends had the eggs your way, and regular French toast. I tried the French toast and it was delicious. I forgot to take pics, but I will 100% be back! Prices good too! read more

When a restaurant lands on a "Top 10 Best in Phoenix" list, your expectations don't just rise... they put on hiking boots and start climbing Camelback. You walk in expecting fireworks. A choir. Maybe a slow clap from the kitchen. Well... let's just say The Eleanor didn't quite cue the choir. It was good. Solid. Respectable. The concepts? Wonderful. The execution? A little "almost." Like the kitchen got 90 percent of the way there and then decided that was close enough. My wife started with the banana bread latte. Now, the smell? Incredible. If they could bottle that aroma and sell it as a candle, I'd invest. The taste though? Pleasant. Fine. Just not bowl-you-over good. It was like banana bread's quieter cousin. Next up: caramelized banana pancakes. The bananas? Strong showing. Caramelized, sweet, doing their job. The pancakes themselves? Dense. Dry. They needed that maple butter syrup the way I need coffee on a Monday. Once you added the syrup, they became very good. Without it, they were auditioning for a role as paperweights. Light and airy they were not. Then came the steak and egg burrito. This one was a rollercoaster. A few bites were outstanding. "Okay, HERE we go!" energy. Then a few bites later, the flavor just... packed up and left. It had moments of brilliance followed by moments of "did someone turn the seasoning off?" But here's the plot twist: our waitress, Stephanie, absolutely stole the show. Attentive without hovering. Great recommendations. Warm. Personable. She elevated the whole experience. If Yelp allowed half stars specifically for service, she'd get them. Bottom line: I'm giving Eleanor four stars all day. Good? Yes. Very good? At times. Exceptional, life-changing, tell-your-friends-you've-seen-the-light? Not quite. Still worth going. Just maybe leave the hiking boots at home. read more

Loved the decor and the welcoming atmosphere. It was our first time and our trusty YELP suggested this venue. We were a large group so we had to wait over 30 minutes. The waiting was the worse part because it was all uphill from there. In the half hour of waiting though, we were able to get counter service which was nice because everyone wanted coffee, lattes, water and drinks. Everyone at least for our wait was happy about that. Our servers were amazing and made some awesome suggestions about pancakes. My mom loved the blueberry pancakes and we loved the churro ones. We also had the yummy avocado toast. Dad tried the suggested chilaquiles and they also were really good. Anyway, our meals were really amazing and we loved our time and food there. It was pretty packed when we arrived so it seems like the locals also know how wonderful this place is. The bathrooms are beautiful and clean! Plenty of Parking was available. They truly made our day amazing and our celebration of my nephew graduating from Arizona State University complete. Thank you everyone! read more

Love this place! I took my friends from out of town here and they absolutely loved it... I knew it would be the perfect spot to bring them. The portion sizes are generous, and I ended up ordering the same thing I got last time (a classic for a reason). I tried the banana latte, which was yummy but it had more cinnamon than banana. Prices feel fair for how much food you get, and the ambiance is cute and inviting. read more

Visited The Eleanor while in Scottsdale. The atmosphere was lively and busy, with a nice vibe overall -- we chose to sit on the outdoor patio, which added to the experience. The service was good and attentive, keeping things moving despite the crowd. Tried a few menu items -- they were average, nothing that really stood out. Parking can definitely be a challenge, so plan accordingly. Overall, a decent spot to check out once for the vibe, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to revisit. Saluti read more

I tried the breakfast hash and the wild mushroom omelette, and both dishes were absolutely phenomenal. The hash was perfection -- crisp whole fingerling potatoes, sautéed spinach, topped with fried eggs and a delicious savory flavor. It was hearty and comforting but still felt fresh and balanced. The wild mushroom omelette was next-level delicious -- light and fluffy eggs filled with earthy mushrooms, creamy cheese, and just the right amount of herbs. It tasted elevated yet approachable, like something straight out of a high-end brunch spot. Everything came out beautifully plated and piping hot, and you can tell they really care about quality ingredients here. The service was friendly, the vibe was relaxed and modern, and the whole experience just felt effortless. Other group members ordered the steal burrito and a breakfast sandwich. The coffee was also said to be incredible, an iced latte was ordered but not stand out. Highly recommend this delicious breakfast spot with patio seating and great service! read more

The Eleanor - Buddha bowl and it is so tasty! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

This place is wonderful. Aesthically pleasing from the moment we walked in. It feels like we're on vacation just sitting here enjoying our breakfast. Napkin for our water. Coffee cup on a napkin lined saucer with our own personal pitcher of cream. Did have an issue with tiny pepper grinder. It's a tad to small for my hands. And a fly, a very annoying fly was a HUGE pest during the entire visit. I dig the South facing wall that's lined with garage style , rolling, window doors. IDK what they're called, but I've been a fan of that style for many years. FTM, the big windows that face the road certainly add to the open feeling. Music played is relaxing but not sedate. It enhances the relaxed feeling and helps set the mood. Our meals were quite good. Everything was very fresh. My companion stated her eggs tasted especially fresh and sausage was tasty. I had the Hash and although I was surprised it was not served with toast I wasn't disappointed. The dish was served in a bowl, not what I anticipated for a breakfast hash. It was very good. A tad on the salty side, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. A good amount of braised short rib meat, Spinach, Brussel sprouts, ripe tomatoes, and fingerling potatoes in a gravy like broth. read more

The Eleanor is a cute everyday cafe that makes some solid breakfast and lunch fare. The inside has a modern diner feel to it and they have a good sized patio for dining al fresco. Their Cubano sandwich is going to be my go-to on my return visits, as it's a solid take on a personal favorite of mine. The mushroom omelet was enjoyable when I was craving something more breakfast oriented, and the chilaquiles addict in my life has enjoyed the Eleanor's take on it on multiple occasions. Service has always been friendly, caffeinated and boozy libations have always hit the spot, parking is plentiful and I'm sure we'll be back. read more
