Perhaps the Valley’s most notorious restaurant, featured on British celebrity chef’s reality show Kitchen Nightmares, Amy’s is far better known for its irascible owners than it is the food coming out of the kitchen. That being said, the pastries in the case look spectacular.
This 24-hour doughnut shop in Tempe opened in early 2013 from the owners of Valley fried-dough staple Bosa Donuts. With more than 40 varieties to choose from, you won’t be left wanting.

With a name like Awesome Cookie Company, you’d expect nothing short of, well, awesome from a cookie. Luckily, the cookies deliver on the name, even though there are only two flavors available. The most popular option, the cranberry oatmeal, kind of tastes like a really fancy enlarged Cookie Crisp, which is baffling because it isn’t […]

Mornings, in-the-know customers trickle into Balkan Bakery, inhaling the bready fragrance of its tiny room on Bell Road. Some get French-style rolls. Some get rope-like kifli. Some get dark twists of pretzels still hot from the oven. All seem to have an unspoken respect for Jasenko Osmic, the man behind that oven, who bakes, peals, […]

But we can think of thirty-two reasons, among them Barb’s signature carrot cake, spicy and moist and loaded with nuts. And the Devil’s Food Chocolate, rich and dark and a real sweet-tooth favorite. Or the Pink Champagne cake, light […]

Who do you want making your bagels? At Bongiorno, you get a Culinary Institute of America grad and a former FDNY lieutenant and firehouse chef, both New York natives adhering to New York style. It’s as good a bagel pedigree as you’ll find in Arizona. Using a system that emulates the enigmatic H20 of the […]

It’s hard to miss the bright pink sign. Cakes and Ribbon bakery opened their shop two months ago, with cupcakes, tres leches cake, candy apples and other sweets filling their small counter refrigerator. Owned by brother and sister duo Maria del Carmen Vasquez and Cesar Gonzalez, their business began five years before the brick and […]
This Central Phoenix coffee house – located in a vintage 1940s house on Camelback Road in Arcadia – is a favorite for its warm, cozy interior, interesting artwork, and freshly brewed java (using Lux beans). But what has us returning again and again is the full menu of breakfast and lunch items. Carmel’s Coffee and […]
