Lydia's Kitchen & Market

Lydia’s Kitchen & Market is such a hidden gem! The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. Everything we tried was delicious, and you can really taste the homemade touch. I loved the orange juice and the ceaser salad. The market side is well stocked with unique items you don’t easily find elsewhere. On top of that, the staff is friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. Highly recommend stopping by for both great food and a wonderful overall experience!

We like this place very much. The services is friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food is great and very reasonably priced for the quality. Berdena’s is in their family of restaurants, so the coffee is very good. The free parking in the back is limited as the indoor and outdoor seating, so go early. the little market is cute.

Lydia's Kitchen & Market is bright, cheerful, lively and a fun place to enjoy brunch, etc. The staff was engaging and on top of their game. I had the french toast and my guest had the pancakes. Everything was to perfection!!

This place is an absolute gem! The decor is the absolute best vibe, and the food is so delicious! My favorite dish is the lemon ricotta pancakes, but everything I have had I have loved. I love all the shops around it as well. Amazing brunch vibes!

Went to Lydia’s for their new dinner service and it was delicious! Great selection of cocktails and wine. Dinner menu was larger than I expected and all the food was super fresh! The bread and butter as a starter is a must have! Atmosphere was welcoming and our server very knowledgeable and friendly. Can’t wait to visit again during happy hour and enjoy the cute patio!

Lydia’s is exactly what Phoenix needed—a charming, elevated brunch spot that feels like you’ve stumbled into a hidden gem in a European city. We came with our two kids and loved every bite. The attention to detail is unmatched—from the beautifully curated menu to the warm service and thoughtful design. You can tell a lot of love went into creating this space. Must-orders: the lemon ricotta pancakes (so fluffy and bright!) and the smoked salmon dish—both were absolutely fabulous. There was a wait when we arrived, but we loved browsing the shops at The Fred while we waited. Honestly, don’t be in a rush—it’s well worth the wait. This place is going to be a treasured go-to very quickly. Highly recommend getting there early—and hungry!

Came for happy hour and loved the cocktails and shareable dinner plates I had with some girlfriends. It was moody and a vibe with a fabulous playlist. Our waiter Xander also was so nice and attentive, will be back for sure!

Lydia’s Kitchen in N. Central Phoenix is a warm, welcoming spot that delivers comfort and style in equal measure. Chef Danny’s thoughtful touches — like serving his perfect sauces in a little receptacle rather than slathering them on — show real care for the dining experience. The interior is cozy and stylish, the service impeccable, and cleanliness is clearly a priority. With reasonable prices, it’s easy to see why this is our new favorite “go-to.”

I feel like I've been transported to a small beach town and everyone is so sweet and welcoming!!

What a cute restaurant! It is in an adorable courtyard with other stores there as well. They have such a beautiful outdoor patio and it's such a great space. Inside there's a little market selling cute items. I had the steak and eggs and it was delicious! I also had a sweet potato pancake à la cart. Also excellent my friend had a breakfast scramble and a couple of lattes and a pastry. Get there early as it fills up pretty quickly, especially on a Sunday. We got there right when they opened. I highly recommend this is an adorable brunch spot. Service was excellent.

01/10/2026 My friend saw this place on Instagram and sent it to me. It looked really cute, but what really got me was the Sweet Potato Pancakes. So we made a reservation for Friday 9:00AM. It's located in a shopping plaza called The Frederick. It already looks so cute on the exterior with the green patio furniture and large wooden double doors. You enter through their market first which had cute merchandise, gifts, and kitchen things, as well as a coffee bar with pastries. There was a host stand right where the market meets the main dining area. FOOD I got the Sweet Potato Pancakes and Two Eggs to Order for some protein. My friend got the Yeast Raised Waffle and scrambled eggs as well. They had some seasonal coffee and matcha drinks, but we didn't try any, as we were planning to go somewhere else afterward for caffeine. The pancakes barely had a hint of sweetness, which surprised me since it didn't come with syrup or any sweetener. The whipped peach butter was pretty good, but I'm not a butter on pancakes kind of gal. My friend did not like the texture of her waffle. It was dry and not chewy - maybe that's just how yeast raised waffles are? She did say the waffle, lemon mascarpone, and fresh strawberry paired nicely together. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. Overall, I liked the market and aesthetic of the entire place, but the food was underwhelming. I would give it 3.5/5 stars. Also, there was plenty of parking in the back when we got there at 9AM, but it was full when we left around 10:30AM. We parked in the first row, and it was difficult getting out. My car is small, but I still feel like there wasn't enough room to back out.

Have now visited a few times and service, ambiance, and food have all been consistently great! Favorites off the menu: Seasonal sweet potato pancakes (This one if for sharing! Delicious and quite filling. Great as leftovers as well. ;) Classic Double Smashburger (can order as a lettuce wrap/salad if one is carb-conscious)! Patties are delicious and accompanying rosemary French fries are phenomenal. Lydia's Salad (so colorful and full of crunch!) Oeufs on cocotte (also a dish for sharing! Heavy, but delicious) Hot cappuccino was served in a 6 oz cup and done well. Side note: as you enter the restaurant, you come across a market space first with lots of cute finds for the kitchen/home, as well as a coffee counter, before you see the maitre d'!

I already can't wait to come back. One of my new fav brunch places. The wait time wasn't too bad and the area is so cute to walk around with nearby shops and businesses to keep you busy. The inside is cozy but feels so open with all the window light coming in. We loved our waiter I wish I got his name but he was awesome. We learned that they serve the same coffee as the shop next door Berdena's. My food was amazing too I got the salmon salad and loved every bite. Music was chill. Coffee was excellent too.

Food was good, the area had a lot of cool shops. Matcha was good and tastes authentic.

Absolutely yes. Everything about this restaurant is perfect. It's a cute, cozy restaurant with a beautiful outside dinner area. Our server was super sweet and very attentive. Started off with the matcha and chocolate croissant and both were delicious. The rest of the food just went around the table so we just got a little of everything. Everything was super fresh and will definitely be back!

Came here after a Pilates class with a friend to catch up and so glad we chose this place! We made a reservation for noon which might not have been necessary on any other day, but with the rain and patio unable to be used, it definitely was helpful in getting us seated quickly. On a cool fall/winter day, the outside would definitely be the way to go! The service was great! The waiters were attentive and also gave us time to eat and talk. We never felt rushed or like we were forgotten. As for the food... please get the sweet potato pancakes while they are in season!!! It was so good! I was torn between getting something sweet or savory. Luckily for me, my friend is also a Yelper and was down to get one of each and share. The oeufs... delicious! If you're very hungry, not sure if the portion size would fill you. But to share, and with the pancakes being quite large, ordering these two to share was perfect! Will definitely be here again before those pancakes are gone!

Step into a little slice of France right here in town! This charming spot radiates French café vibes, with cozy seating, beautiful décor, and a delightful little market at the entrance perfect for browsing while you wait for your table. Parking is convenient in the back, though fair warning, it shares space with neighboring businesses, so weekends can get a bit busy (but the other shops are 100% worth a peek too! You can get cookies, or coffee, or browse through unique clothing stores before/after your meal.) Food was delicious. I'm a vegetarian, and they kindly swapped avocado in for meat, such a thoughtful touch. Paired my breakfast with a cup of ginger-mint tea that was perfect. Service was friendly and attentive, making the experience all the more enjoyable. My only quibble was that noise can pick up a bit, which I guess is the price you pay for the lively energy of a popular weekend spot. Prices are not cheap, but honestly, nothing outrageous for the quality and experience you're getting!

Finally had a chance to come here and it did not disappoint!!! The ambiance of Lydia's is a DREAM!! Totally picturesque with the adorable aesthetics and marketplace! The bar top is stunning I adore the vibes in here! Service was great I believe our waitress name was Julianne she was kind and efficient! I loved my iced cardamom rose latte they have an awesome coffee selection! My chicken sandwhich was good BUT the breaded part fell off the chicken completely which was a bummer :/ otherwise the taste was good! I hope they bring back the girl lunch/dinner concept!! food: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 !!!

An adorable spot to go for brunch with the girls! I got the ouefs en cocotte and it was delicious! I do think the price was a bit steep for what it was though (a steamed egg and lots of salad) and not very filling. The french toast was great and the fruits were fresh. Service was good, very nice servers. Good experience but the food was just alright. I'd go again only for the atmosphere.

I've been waiting for Lydia's to open since they first announced it was being built!! I went with a few girlfriends for brunch and was blown away by how nicely designed it was! Lydia fit right in to the vibe of the Fred. We were told it was a 40 minute wait, but it turned out to be nearly 2 hours. Not too bad though, considering Berdena's Coffee was around the corner and some of our favorite shops. The storefront had an amazing curation of home goods, too! It was very much mine and my friends' style. Food was delish! We ordered two rosemary fries for the table. (It's a small portion for 1-2 people). I had the Oefs en cocotte. It's a soupy dip wirh some sourdough toast. Not much toast but I drank the rest of the soup!

Was really excited for this place to open! It couldn't be any cuter, I love the concept of the little market/store at the front with a to go bakery. And an adorable restaurant in the back! Truly not a detail was missed when in come to the decor, light fixtures, fabrics, patterns. Whoever designed it did a phenomenal job! I am excited to see how the patio livens up the Fred once it isn't so hot out!! All that being said the service and the food didn't really blow me away. We had to ask for things like straws, silverware, an extra plate multiple times before receiving and it wasn't super busy only a few other tables on a Friday afternoon. And the food was okay, we split the chicken sandwich and it tasted really fresh! No weird chicken bites which I'm always thankful for. But everything was just a little off -- the fries had rosemary but almost too much. Anyways I know they're new and maybe just have a few links to work out! So I'll be excited to try again in a couple months!

Lydia's kitchen is the cutest, newest brunch spot in town! The Fred really does it right and Lydia's is the best, newest addition. Expect a wait, but the food was delicious and fresh. I can't wait to go back and try the lunch options. Don't forget to shop on your way in or out and pick up something amazing from the little store in Lydia's!

LOVE this cute new restaurant at the Frederick!! It is so cute inside and the food was incredible. Tastes so fresh and unique! Service was good too but seems like they might need more help as they're growing. Great brunch spot!!

This is still a very new restaurant but it's a cute location and concept. Came here on a Friday evening with some friends and we were basically the only ones there. They have a little store with food items and things you can buy and then the sit down restaurant. I think they are more known for breakfast / brunch because they have only a few items available for dinner like sliders, a salad, pasta, and fries. I got the burrata salad, which was nice and simple and also some truffle fries. The truffle fries were super salty almost too salty but they weren't bad. I also got a mocktail but have no clue what the price was because the waiter just showed me the total at the end on their little device so I was unaware of the breakdown. Would definitely like to see more food options here outside of breakfast but it sounds like they're working on it.

This is such a charming dining venue, perfect for a casual lunch or brunch with friends or family. "Simple but elegant" should well describe both the physical establishment and the menu. I've been here for brunch on three occasions with friends and have tried their seasonal scramble, yeast raised waffle, and oeufs en cocotte - all excellent, especially when paired with different coffee preparations each time. The service is very friendly and efficient, and prices are good especially considering the quality of the food and the overall pleasant dining experience.

Came here to have a bday brunch with a girlfriend and so glad we checked it out. They are slammed on Sundays so get here before noon unless you wanna wait. It's got great lighting and these cute pastel green colors through. Our server was so sweet and gave us her fav coffee, a vanilla Carmel latte, I got macadamia nut milk. The oeuf en cocotte was delicious and creamy. The yolk was still jammy instead and I'm obsessed. My friend got the waffle and said it was perfectly cooked. They have a girls special with a Caesar salad and wine we wanna come back to check out. There are so cute local shops in this plaza. I can't sit to come back.

Nice little neighborhood spot. Mae sure you have time on the weekends. Gets busy like most places. The restaurant is nice and bright and open up during cooler months. Food is fresh and quality you can taste. I'm going to try and put it in my regular rotation.

Very adorable addition to The Fred. I love Wicker Goddess and Berdena's in here so I was excited to see a cool new spot! There's a little market right when you walk in and then to the right is the restaurant where you can dine in. We got there right when they opened at 8 am and were the first dine in customers. The part that wasn't good was that there were other customers who came in after us, got their food and finished eating and left before they even brought us our drinks. And we only ordered two meals and two drinks so idk why that happened. For like 10 minutes we stared at our drinks on the bar hoping they'd bring them over haha. So service is not great. My husband got a caramel latte and I got a matcha tonic with honey. We were not wowed, drinks were just ok I would skip on them next time. Food was good! My husband got the breakfast with two eggs, bacon, and toast. He didn't love that the eggs had so many chives but said everything else was yummy. My lemon ricotta pancakes needed some more syrup but once I added that they were much better, fluffy and lemony! My son loved them too as I shared with him! A little on the pricier side but not outrageous. I think I'd come back again as I know they're newer and might just take some time to get things running a little better!

Picked up pastries for Lydia's. First impression was that the pastries behind the counter looked delicious. Second, this spot is nice, quaint and seems multi-purpose: coffee, lunch, hang-out. It seems like a place id like to spend a morning. Enjoyed my croissant, will come back for brunch soon.

Lydia's is located in the Fred shopping center on Missouri. I brought my daughter for a birthday lunch. She had the Cesar Salad and it was delicious. I had the fried chicken sandwich, it was good but I am going for the Cesar salad next time. We had a great server, Xander....great service. It's beautiful inside and we'll be back to try breakfast.

What a great addition to the Frederick. This place is so charming and cozy. I stopped by a couple of weeks ago for brunch with my friends and we really liked it. The wait around noon was long - we waited about 40 mins. I ordered the salmon bowl and it was really well balanced. I had a taste of the French toast and it's AMAZING. I will definitely order that next time. The espresso machine was down so some of the drinks we had initially ordered could not be made. They have indoor and outdoor seating and also a very cute shop with lovely items that you can browse while waiting for your table. Parking is relatively okay and if full you can park in the adjacent parking lot which is what the majority of my group did.

Such a cute new phx spot! There's a market / order at the counter area as well as the actual restaraunt. My friend and I just beat the rush because after we were seated it quickly filled up with the morning rush! We both ordered the scramble, which was absolutely delicious and was made with high quality ingredients. The ambience was so bright and airy.

Lydia's is located in such a fun spot! The interior gives French Countryside (or what I like to call grandma chic ). They've only been open for two months but already are packed full. We ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes, the overnight French toast, a side of eggs, fennel sausage and bacon. I will say the French toast and pancakes were fresh and tasted so great. The sausage wasn't my favorite it was a bit overpowering on the salt. The drinks we ordered were the iced chia, honey cortado, and chocolate latte which were all very well made and balanced. All in all this place is a cute brunch spot. They do have their own parking lot but it's small and shared with other businesses so it is very limited. It is definitely worth the trip and a place I will come back to for girlfriends weekend brunch.

I was able to stop by Lydia's for coffee and a pastry. It has a cute little market in the front and a cozy patio. I am happy there is now a restaurant at The Fred. I will be back to try more food.

Newest hidden gem brunch spot cafe located in the Frederick!!! Cute gift/marketplace located as you walk in. Absolutely delicious breakfast/lunch dishes and yummy coffee drinks. Definitely a wait for this popular place, but come early to put your name in and shop around the cafe and the many stores in the center. Friendly staff and can eat inside or out.

Really cute new spot! It has a front market with various items like food and cookbooks for sale. You order at the front and the seating area has some nice decor. The food was good too! I had the croquette monsieur, the scramble and the French toast. The monsiuer was really good as was the scramble! The French toast was good but not the best I've ever had. A place I'd go back to!

This has definitely turned into one of my favorite breakfast places. The sweet potato pancakes, french toast, ouefs en cocotte are our favorites! The location is nice and there is a cute gift shop as well. Service has been great both visits and the waitstaff has been very friendly. Definitely a great casual brunch place

The vibe at Lydia's Kitchen was really nice -- a bright, welcoming atmosphere that made for a pleasant lunch. The food itself was great: the rosemary fries were crispy and flavorful, and the ranch was phenomenal -- super fresh and easily the highlight of my meal. That said, the service was on the slower side. After finishing our food, it took about 10-15 minutes before our server even came back to check on us, and waiting for the check dragged things out a bit longer than expected considering it was on the slower end at 2:30pm. The prices felt a little steep for what you get, especially compared to similar spots in the area. Still, the food quality was good and the overall ambiance makes it a nice place to try if you don't mind a slower pace.

What a adorable place We thought we were going somewhere else-not open Yelp had this on the list Great food, nice menu Matthew was very nice and helpful for a couple of first time AZ visitors French Toast really good Classic was totally worth it If we can we will be back!!

I can't wait to come back here! Came to lunch for a friend's birthday and I had no idea they had just opened. When you walk in, theres the cutest little shopping spot and coffee bar on the far end. When we got to the restaurant, everyone said how they want their house to look exactly how it was decorated lol. Everyone enjoyed their food, especially us with our Cesar Salad and chicken tender girl lunch As a Ranch person, their ranch surprised me but I did really like it. Our waitress was great and gave us a option to be able to split payments & pay at the front individually.

Had a lovely brunch here! So cute and super tasty food with good portions. Enjoyed the coffee and sat at the bar. Service was impeccable and we loved browsing the cute store before we left. We will be back to try new foods and coffee!

I reserved for 8 people at the patio (keep in mind reservations have a maximum of 8 ppl) and it was a very cute set up! We got a circular round table under some trees and it was a sunny day with a slight breeze (we went for Sunday brunch in December). My friends and I were able to get our seasonal coffees which were all pretty good -- they have macadamia milk which was super interesting. My friends and I had no problems with our food, wait time was no problem, and our server checked on us at the right times. I've been here before with my family and the service was good back then too. This area also offers some post-brunch activities too, with some nearby stores, a really yummy cookie place, and another cafe. Overall would really recommend this place for a chill reunion with friends or a family gathering. It was all of my friends' first times here and they said they really enjoyed it! Some things to note are that the bathroom is a bit away and finding a spot in the parking lot can be tricky when it's busy.

Came for happy hour and loved the cocktails and shareable dinner plates I had with some girlfriends. It was moody and a vibe with a fabulous playlist. Our waiter Xander also was so nice and attentive, will be back for sure!

Went out with my friends for brunch & their service was very friendly! The kitchen is located in a plaza with a cute atmosphere, loved their strawberry matcha! It was a little loud, but I'd come again :)

Highly recommend this place. The food and service were great. You'll find this gem located at the Fred. I recommend their coffee and pastries. It does get noisy and I can't wait to truly enjoy their patio seating. Lovely place for families or girls brunch.

What a perfect spot for an afternoon girls brunch. The decor is chic, food flavorful, and ambiance enjoyable. I highly recommend the oeufs de cocotte!

This place has it all. Cute vibes and excellent food. For brunch I think most people go straight to pancakes or waffles. Telling you right now go straight for the French toast. It was top 3 I've ever had. Bread was perfectly soaked in the egg batter. The thing that really set it apart was the orange mascarpone. What a unique flavor for French toast! 10/10. Also the Oeufs en Cocotte was incredible. Had no idea what it was. Had to Google it and was still skeptical. It's like a thick soup egg concoction. The flavor was mouth watering, especially with the toasted bread to dip in. Don't skip this dish. Already planning on going back next week!

This place is SO cute!! Already a cute little courtyard of fun boutiques and then walk into Lydia's and it has the cutest little market area from cookbooks to different snacks and candles. I bought dill pickle mayo which has been FANTASTIC. Actual restaurant part - YUM. Had the lemon ricotta pancakes and they were incredible. My friend had the seasonal scramble and loved it. Our server was the cutest, very chill and quick. If you don't like your espresso martinis creamy, then you'll like this! She strong!

Really charming place with very good food and coffee! Tried it for the first time after noticing it appeared in The Fred, with high hopes: the location is nice, the little market/shop in the front looks like a good go-to for gift shopping. Breakfast was great, all the essentials were strong: good sausage, good eggs, nice crispy and salty potatoes and bright lemony pancakes. We'll return!

Coffee strong but good. Had the two egg breakfast. Home fries would be a better option than potatoes from a fryer. Like eating French fries with your eggs. Sourdough toast is good. Eggs were cooked perfectly. So many restaurants pull a medium egg request to early and it becomes over easy. These were excellent and whites were cooked with runny yokes. Thank you. Best orange juice I ever had. Fresh squeezed. Great taste. If you change the potatoes to something with a bit more flavor I would be a weekly visitor. Some onion, peppers and a bit of garlic and you would have a hit.

The service was very quick and she explained the menu to us. She made sure that the food that was we ordered was available. If it wasn't available she would recommend something else that I might like. The food was very nice.

Such a great location and open courtyard, I can't wait for cooler weather and enjoy sitting outside. The food was delicious, regular drip coffee was just okay, and service was fine. Will return to try other items.

The best new brunch find! The dirty chai on the seasonal menu was omg so good! The food, service, and ambience were exactly what we were looking for a girls morning out! Can't wait to bring my hubby back!

Lydia's Kitchen is a gem! Beautiful décor, bright and welcoming. The menu has all the brunch and lunch favorites, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Staff was super friendly--can't wait to come back!

This place is adorable!! It looks like a cozy tea place in the UK. I got the waffles, so yummy. The service staff were friendly and efficient. We want to go back!!

Our first time here. We live local. Was hoping to patronize and support a local business. Didn't have the best food experience. I wrote to them, twice 11/9 and 11/10 NO reply. Sadly, we won't be back.

Lydia's is a great concept with good food but we will not be going back. We visited for brunch -or rather tried to visit- couple of weeks ago just to be greeted by the hostess with the news that they were OUT OF FOOD!! We thought that it was a weird situation but understood that mistakes happen. But then comes last weekend when we made a reservation for 11:00 am; we were on time and waited to be seated for about 15 minutes, meanwhile we heard the hostess telling walk in customers that the estimated wait time was about an hour. We finally got seated, waited again for a while to be greeted by a server and just when we thought that we will get to try a delicious breakfast , the server announced that they were out of yeast raised waffles, oeufs en cocotte, steak and eggs, croque monsieur, pancakes, iced tea and another basics in the menu... let me ask you to imagine waiting an hour to be seated and then have them tell you that half of the menu is not available to order!!!!! I hope management gets these kind of situations under control soon, because like us, many other customers that had this happened to them will not be going back to Lydia's.
