| - This may be my fav spot in Phoenix. I've been here for brunch, din, and drinks, and all were fantastic.
The space is wonderful - a little oasis in the middle of downtown Phoenix. There's a big outdoor bar and lots of seating (both tables for dining and couches for sipping). The inside is also charming, with a more retro vibe. The food is also great. They have large menus that use lots of fresh ingredients - very veg friendly.
For brunch, we shared the bananas foster french toast as an appetizer (apps at brunch? brilliant). Delish - very rich and sweet and would be too much for me as a meal, but a few bites were perfect. I then had the vegetarian omelet. Sometimes eggs are just eggs, but the difference for me is nice fresh add-ons, and this had plenty. (For this reason, I prefer brunch at Local Breeze to Matt's.)
Happy hour is also ideal on a nice evening - lots of room for a big group, and refreshing mojitos at a good happy hour price.
Dinner was good - if perhaps slightly less memorable. I had the chopped salad sans meat, and it was tasty and filling.
A spacious, comfortable, garden hangout in downtown Phoenix with veg-friendly food and good drinks? In.
