Editor’s picks
Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Phoenix New Times. Updated July 2026.
LON’s at The Hermosa Inn · Paradise Valley
Phoenix New Times 10 Best Brunch. Southwest chilaquiles and lobster Benedict on the Hermosa Inn's serene fountain patio. The Valley's destination brunch.
fà-me cafe · Uptown Phoenix
Phoenix New Times 10 Best Brunch + 2024 Best Breakfast. Counter-service uptown favorite for the Monte Cristo and papas fritas.
Otro Cafe · North Central Phoenix
Phoenix New Times 10 Best Brunch. Cajeta flapjacks with banana, crème fraîche and caramel, and some of the Valley's best papas fritas.
SugarJam The Southern Kitchen · North Scottsdale
Challah French toast soaked in Grand Marnier and finished with cinnamon butter and pecan syrup, alongside Southern brunch staples. The little Southern kitchen has followed its crowd from the Carefree area to Scottsdale, and the weekend wait proves the move worked.
Valentine · Phoenix
A churro waffle drizzled in dulce de leche and mesquite chai spices pushes this brunch well past standard eggs-and-toast. The Southwest touches give it an angle most of the Valley's brunch spots skip, and the small room fills fast on weekend mornings.
