Prep & Pastry

LOVE THIS PLACE! Spectacular food, great environment, and perfect location. I have been in the past, but this last Sunday my boyfriend and I went around 10am for mid brunch, and we had a wonderful time. We both got lattes, which I highly recommend starting with as they always have unique flavors and specialties and it's a great way to start off the meal. I would suggest trying out a hot latte even if you are a typical iced lover because the presentation and taste is definitely better and more fun when hot as opposed to iced here (get a hot lavender honey latte if you like that flavor combo, it was a 10/10). To eat we got the 'fried chicken and toast', which was perfect for us to split when neither of us had a huge appetite. The food checked all the boxes being gorgeous, flavorful, and mastered the sweet and savory combo! They split it for us which was perfect! This time unfortunately I blanked and completely forgot to check out their array of pastries near the front of the restaurant - They are always delicious and in the past I never leave without picking one or two out for later. The service was great and we were sat immediately, really nothing to complain about. I highly recommend going on the weekend for brunch then having a shopping day. will be back very soon :)

Food is ok nothing special. Monte Cristo was mostly doughy bread with sauce. Cobb salad was good. The corn bacon combo works. Asked for no avocado and it came with avocado. Ugh Tables are sticky. Yes sticky like tacky to the touch. Yuck. Service was slow. The waiter was great but the kitchen took forever despite the fact it was almost empty Too bad.

I've been lucky to have been to Prep and Pastry for years now, including when I lived in Tucson. I have to say their coffee and baked goods are top freaking notch. This last visit I had a cinnamon roll and it might be the best one I've ever had! The frosting was perfectly light and rich and as a whole it wasn't too sweet and was sooo soft. That gorgeous layered drink I think is a cubano - whatever it was it was so perfect. My friend always gets the iced lavender latte which is delicious as well. You can't go wrong with any of the coffee drinks imo, and I love the variety of mimosas. The food is hit or miss, not going to lie, which is why I went with a 4/5 rating. The shakshuka is really good, I def recommend trying that, as is the avocado toast, prep omelette, duck confit (this is REALLY rich), and the sweet potato hash. I tried the smoked salmon benny this past visit - something I've had plenty of times elsewhere - and it was not good. The salmon was super dry, the whole thing needed salt. I ended up just eating the potatoes and dousing it in hot sauce to give it flavor. Otherwise, this place is always packed on the weekend, so it's a fun vibe if you're coming for brunch and you can walk on the canal after! Make a reservation if you don't want to wait. The service is always fine, nothing amazing but they don't make you feel rushed which is always nice. I think this is one of the best brunch places in this immediate area as long as you order the right food or stick to coffee, drinks, and pastries.

Yummm! I just stopped by to grab some pastries because I'd already had breakfast and I'm really glad that I did! Everything in the pastry display looked great, so I had a hard time deciding. Now that I've had three of their pastries, I tend to believe that I couldn't have gone wrong. I got the chocolate croissant, the raspberry pistachio dossant, and carrot cake. The surprise favorite here was the dossant! The raspberry topping was more tart than I had expected, which was EXCELLENT because I really do not enjoy overly sweet fruity flavors. The dossant itself was soft and fluffy and very enjoyable to eat. I could have done without the sugar coating on the bottom, though. For me, this tipped the overall flavor into the top sweet domain. The chocolate croissant was SO flakey. I don't know how many folds they do for their croissants, but it's a delicious amount lol. Each layer was super thin and light and it gave the exterior a really nice crunch. There was ample chocolate inside, too. The carrot cake was moist and tender with a warm cinnamon-y flavor and a thick cream cheese frosting, mmmm!If ever back in the area, I'd stop in again and maybe try to dine-in and enjoy more of their menu!

Let's start with the good! -Food was amazing! I had the southwest croissant sammie and it was delicious! The potatoes on the side were incredible too! The perfect dish for my savory breakfast lovers!-Ambiance is perfect! It's bright, beautiful, and has indoor and outdoor seating plus a great to go coffee area! -Service was great! We came in on a Saturday and our servers were kind and attentive!Now for the cons! -The hot lavender latte was not for me at all. I didn't even finish it! The coffee flavor was missing and it was very sweet! -The waitlist closes!!! We had to wait about 2 hours for a group of 8 to be seated. I had called during the week prior to coming in and I was assured that the waitlist would be a great option for us. Little did we know that they close the waitlist!! That was a huge bummer.

Another day, another new brunch place! I found Prep and Pastry on a Pinterest list of brunch places to try in Phoenix. I started with a bloody Mary with garlic infused vodka, and it was pretty good-7/10, only because there was a lot of texture in the drink and I didn't necessarily love that, but the flavor was great. I then had the bacon poutine, and it was absolutely fantastic. The gravy was delicious and the bacon was sweet and the cheese curds were so yummy. The dish comes with over easy eggs, and my only complaint was that there was no runny yolk, so in the future I would probably ask for poached eggs on top. I would absolutely give this place another try and try other options on the menu because the poutine was 10/10. The server was quick and efficient, and the restaurant was very cute and quaint. If you're looking for a delicious brunch in Scottsdale, definitely give this place a try.

The food was so delicious and their menu had a great variety. Our table for four left with full bellies. I also loved their peach matcha. Docking one star bc service was slow. For example, we had been seated for about 15 minutes before they brought water.

One of the saddest fall offs in Scottsdale, belongs in the hall of shame. I keep giving them more chances thinking it's a bad day but it's not, they just suck now. Ever since the owners greedily opened a 2nd location they forgot what made them great. Portion sizes wouldn't fill a small crusty Scottsdale dog, ingredient quality is absolutely mediocre and there isn't an ounce of pride but into a dish here. This place has completely turned into a profit margin monster and they're really not good at it which makes it absolutely miserable. If I owned this place I would be embarassed to have my friends and family eat at my restaurant lol. Classic example of a place that lures you in once and doesn't care or count on you ever returning. You're better off skipping breakfast than wasting your money at this skid mark of a business.

Good spot for breakfast. Latte was just ok. My friend got a cold brew and didn't like it. I went with the sweet potato bowl and it was very good. The hash mix is pre made so I couldn't take the leeks out but it was still ok. I would have liked an additional egg it only comes with one. My friend had the breakfast sandwich and said it was amazing. We split the French toast and it was just ok. It was a bit dry. The topping was good though. Service was good. Place is cute. Would recommend

Every time I would pass this place it was always packed. I finally had brunch here and now I know why.This place was great! Came for a baby shower and all entrées were amazing. I had the avo toast with eggs. It was delicious and the drizzle of sauce was so savory. A few ordered burgers, and they looked delicious. I ordered a Latte and the coffee was smooth and naturally sweet. Did not need sugar or honey. The pastries were soft and yummy.I definitely want to come back and bring my husband.
