All About That Brunch

By LINDSAY FRICKS

By special request (from my mother),  this week Lindsay’s List is all about that brunch. TBH, day drinking is one of my very favorite past times. I’m outdoorsy in a sense that I enjoy drinking while outside so brunch is a natural fit. Breakfast is without question my favorite meal of the day. Sadly, in real estate it’s unusual that I get to enjoy a leisurely brunch anymore, but you can bet if I were you, you’d find me at one of these amazing local spots:

North Scottsdale- Soul Cafe

This is at the top of my list for good reason…it’s, without question, the best brunch spot. I’m somewhat of a chilaquiles connoisseur and they make some of the best I’ve had. Make sure to make a reservation or you’ll be waiting a long time. 

Old Town Scottsdale- SumoMaya

There are countless great spots for brunch in Old Town, but SumoMaya does it right. From a value standpoint you can’t beat it. Appetizer, food, dessert and bottomless mimosas for $39??? The atmosphere is always high energy and fun so this is a great place to start off a day of shenanigans.

Arcadia Phoenix- Ranch House Grille

This is your classic corner cafe with some dang good breakfast. You’re not going to find a DJ or people ordering bottles at 10am, but you will find the best blueberry pancakes on the planet. This is where you go for a delish home cooked meal the day after being served one too many at the bar!

Central Phoenix- Windsor

Anything with beignets on the menu is automatically going to be on my list. This place reminds me of some of the cool hipster joints I used to live by in Uptown Minneapolis. The menu is pretty limited for brunch but it packs a punch nonetheless. I highly recommend the Southern Style Biscuits and Gravy or The Matador. 

Multiple Locations- Hash

Hash Kitchen is allllll the things. I really didn’t want to like this place but it totally sucked me in. I describe this restaurant as what would happen if the cast of Jersey Shore and Breakfast had a baby. There’s house music, people wearing ridiculous outfits and everyone is drunk at 10am.  Honestly, the food is great, but only go here if you’ve mentally prepared yourself for a complete breakfast sh!tshow. 

There’s a couple places on my radar that I’ve yet to try…. Let me know who wants to plan a brunch date to one of these highly recommended brunch spots:

Downtown- Welcome Diner

Old Town Scottsdale- Maple & Ash
