5 brunch places in Phoenix we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Phoenix | Brunch across every city.

Brunch is close to a civic ritual in Phoenix, where shaded patios and early hours matter through the warm months. Matt's Big Breakfast on 1st Street is the downtown institution, built on thick-cut bacon and local plates from Matt Pool and Erenia Lara, while Morning Glory Cafe at The Farm at South Mountain runs a garden-driven breakfast on a shaded patio. For higher energy there is Hash Kitchen in Arcadia, with its build-your-own bloody mary bar, and The Henry on Camelback Road from Fox Restaurant Concepts.
