Vintage 95

Originally the first post office in Chandler in 1926, the building at 95 West Boston in Chandler’s historic downtown is now home to this cozy wine bar and eatery courtesy of Gavin Jacobs, a former bartender and manager at House of Tricks in Tempe. A lounge-worthy patio outside and an intimate interior featuring low lights, […]

Vision Gallery

This Chandler gallery is one of only two places in the Valley where you can buy art out of a vintage cigarette machine. That’s right, feed it five bucks, pull the old-timey knob and out pops a piece of art. Ok, so it’s not like you’re going to get the best work of art under […]

Whole Foods Market

Say what you will about Whole Foods Market and its prices, but once inside, it’s hard to resist this gourmet grocery chain’s charm. Not only does it stock specialty goods from artisan crafters throughout the country and globe, but it also supports locally produced foods and other goods. You can stop by just to pick […]

Wildflower Bread Company

All we had to hear were the words “Raspberry Lace Buttermilk Pie,” and we were out the door and on our way to our favorite bakery, which also happens to serve some of the very best breakfast and lunch food in town, bar none. In the morning, we like the Taylor Ham and Egg Sandwich, […]

Wimpy’s Paradise

Popeye would gladly pony up for the old-fashioned burgers and ice cream that are this diner’s specialty. Wimpy’s takes its name from the hamburger-obsessed character in the famous Popeye the Sailor Man comic strip, and serves Chandlerites the Wimpy’s Original Burger, which comes with either a half- or third-pound patty and allows diners to choose […]

Woodlands Vegetarian South Indian Kitchen

Serving an authentic taste of South India in the Valley is Woodlands, an unassuming place tucked into a strip mall in Chandler. Don’t let the Styrofoam plates and plastic utensils fool you into thinking poorly of the restaurant’s offerings. The flavors will knock you on your ass, and the spices will clear out your sinuses […]

Yoli’s Cafe

A nice little gem in small house with a courtyard off the beaten path in downtown Chandler. Serving breakfast and lunch only, this bistro mostly hits the mark with omelets, skillets, and homemade biscuits and gravy for breakfast and a tidy selection of hot and cold sandwiches, build-your-own burgers, and salads for lunch. We like […]

Z’Tejas Grill

This Southwestern grill originated in Austin, Texas, and first expanded in 1991 with a second location in Scottsdale. Since then, it’s spread throughout the Valley to Phoenix, Tempe, and Chandler, serving it’s version of Tex-Mex with a few outside influences. Starters include catfish beignets with cornmeal-crusted catfish and jalapeno tartar sauce as well as raw […]

Zia Record Exchange

Record collectors and plain old music fans alike love this local used CD shop, founded in 1980 in Phoenix, and now boasting eight locations in Tucson, Phoenix, Tempe, Chandler, and Las Vegas. Zia has long been a music Mecca for starving artists and broke college students, and carries thousands of used titles, from death metal […]

Zipps Sports Grill

True, Zipps is a sports bar, with TVs in every direction you turn, but it’s a tasteful one, with old fashioned patterned tin wall panels, exposed brick, and cherry wood accents. Better yet, the big game isn’t the only reason to come here. Even when there’s nothing to watch, we’re happy digging in to Zipps’ […]
