Mingle + Graze

One of the most underrated places in all the east valley! Great sandwiches, soups, salads, cheese/charcuterie boards, wines and more! Plus wine!! Anyone missing out on this place is missing out on a special little locally owned business! Oh...and if you want any holiday boards for your parties, this is the place!

Easily the best tomato basil soup I have ever had. If I could take it to go in a jug, I would. Friends had grilled cheese plate, carrot coconut soup, chicken salad and I got the chicken tinga sandwich with frites Amazing service and vibes in the restaurant! Definitely adding to the rotation!

Mingle & Graze is located in downtown Chandler; my husband and I stopped by here for dinner closer to the time they opened on a Saturday, and it wasn't very busy yet. They seated us right away and gave a rundown of the menu.We couldn't pass up on the meat / cheese plate, so we started with that. I'm a fan of charcuterie boards; this one was a good one. In chatting with who I think was the owner (?), mentioned that they change their selections every so often, so if you come back at a later time, they may have something different. We also got another dish from their seasonal menu with eggplant. It was pretty substantial even though it was vegetarian.Overall, if you're looking for a casual date night spot, this would fit the bill. Happy to see that this area is growing!

When my cousin and I heard that Mingle + Graze now offered dinner, we knew we had to try it! My cousin has never tried Mingle + Graze, but after seeing the cheese board I had when I came a couple months back she had on her radar to try. Especially excited since they have multiple vegetarian items with the menu denoting which ones are - always a plus in my book!When you enter, you will notice a small intimate patio with cozy seating inside as the building is long and slender. This type of intimate setting makes you feel close to both who you are dining with, and the amazing staff/owners of Mingle + Graze. We were delighted to be able to talk with both Mahfam and Cristobal, and even had a wine suggestion of what would pair with the Eggplant "Steak" for me. The Normadica Sparkling Rosé was delightful and I love the freshness the canned wine has to offer. Mahfam had talked about it, and it was freshness you could immediately taste! Love the choice of glassware for it as well!When the food arrived, I was absolutely amazed at the presentation of both our dishes. I ordered the Eggplant "Steak" that Mahfam so graciously explained. All the elements complimented one another, and I was amazed how amazing the eggplant tasted and even had a texture similar to a steak. My cousin ordered the chopped salad that was just as beautifully plated with all the ingredients crisp and garden-fresh. Both of us were truly impressed with the quality, and easily said we would be back even if it's 17 miles each way from my house. Well worth the drive!Lastly, we purchased some cheese to take home and I'll thrilled to report their Brie is fabulous! I'm always looking for a good triple cream Brie that's perfectly spreadable on crackers and I've found it! And if you need wine to pear with those cheeses, the owners just opened Spin the Bottle which is in the same general area. A perfect duo for those who love wine + cheese!

Stopped in for some takeout on Thursday evening to grab some sandwiches! I'm a little bummed we won't be able to get sandwiches for dinner anymore, since our work schedules prohibit us from coming in for lunch, but we are excited to try the new dinner menu!!!This was my first experience with takeout at M+G, and I would just like to say that the customer service is always *chefs kiss*. I was even offered water to go, as I had (very obviously lol) just come from the gym. When I got home, I saw how well-packed our order was. We got two sandwiches: the San Marcos Rocket (my fave) and the Phils #1 Sub (my husband's favorite). Highly recommend! They sandwiches were prepared fresh and with great care. I ordered a side salad with mine, and the house dressing is amazing!!! If you've read my previous reviews and still haven't been, what are you waiting for!?

We got the grilled cheese experience ($20) and the cheese experience ($34) to share between the 3 of us. Expensive for the amount of food served, the board is underwhelming, the cheese slices are very small, the sausage is sliced very thinly, you can't even taste the flavor, the grapes were sliced in half, teaspoon or less of the jams, I've seen restaurants and bars serve better and a lot lot more. Their place is pretty quiet if you really need to hear each other talk, that's a plus, maybe try their other stuff on the menu.

We had dinner at a nearby restaurant and were just walking around and we found this little hidden gem. we walked in and we're greeted kindly and we're allowed to see ourselves. It was the cutest. I really enjoyed the cozy environment here.. we ended up not eating, but we just ended up getting cocktails. It was very close to closing when we arrived. The drinks that we had were good, the owner was there that night and she made recommendations based on our individual taste and we were not disappointed. Would definitely return here.

Mingle + Graze is in the heart of downtown Chandler. Even though I just recently moved out of the Chandler area, I was able to stop in at this local shop not too long ago. Mingle + Graze is a cheese bar and kitchen that features a curated selection of locally sourced cheeses and charcuterie. A couple started this place in 2019. Cheese is my favorite food and I was salivating over the display case that was stocked with a variety of cheeses.Mingle + Graze may be a small establishment, but it has a lot of charm to it. The smaller setting provides a more intimate atmosphere to enjoy your meal. I once attended an event catered by them that had samples of their sandwiches. I have also been to their shop to order some cheese. While here, I tried the Monger's charcuterie board, the big salad, some bruschetta and sangria. Everything I have had here has been delicious and is made and put together in-house. I highly recommend the grilled cheese and house olives. $25 bottle and board night is on Wednesdays and happy hour is Tues-Friday in the late afternoon. Saturdays offers sangrias for $8. Mingle + Graze is a great local business to support.

Had a girls day/night last Saturday so I stopped in to grab some cheese. I tried some of their cheese a few months ago during the Yelp event back in March and loved everything! I came for the blood orange cheese but unfortunately, they were out. Cristobal, one of the owners, was in at the time and recommended another cheese which had caramelized onions in it. I ended up purchasing the recommended cheese and the Port wine derby cheese that I had tried back in March. Total was $11.56. I loved both! I forgot to snap a pic of the two cheeses alone so here are screenshots of them from a video I took. I will have to come back for that blood orange another time!

The service was excellent and we are retirees who appreciated the staff's patience and knowledge of their products. We had their $12 cheese board, which proved to be and excellent choice. Everything on our board was perfect and much of it locally sourced. The board included a sliced strawberry, the likes of which I haven't had since southern France (the farming area). The owner checked in with us and said he tries to buy local as much as possible, and it shows. One last tip: Mingle and Graze has a 3-table patio, perfect for people watching.
