"This all-day cafe on McDowell may be known for pastries and brunch plates, but the breakfast burrito more than holds its own. The Sunny Burrito is built on a thin flour tortilla and filled with local Schreiner’s chorizo, crisp-edged hash browns, melty cheddar, and a sunny-side-up egg. A drizzle of chile oil adds just enough heat, while a tart salsa verde on the side pulls it all together. It’s not trying to reinvent anything — just nailing each element with care and balance. The bright blue exterior beckons diners in on weekends and weekdays in equal measure." - McConnell Quinn
"Ollie Vaughn’s is your go-to for a low-key, high-reward brunch in Phoenix. The coffee is legit (hello, grapefruit espresso tonic), the croissants are flaky perfection, and the breakfast sandwiches here put your sad pocket granola bar to shame. You’re here for brunch, but this isn’t some bottomless mimosa circus that could send you into a Sunday spiral—don’t worry, there are mimosas on the menu though. Think of Ollie Vaughn’s as more of a second latte, come through in your oversized vintage t-shirt, casual late morning meal kind of spot." - lauren topor

"In Phoenix’s Coronado neighborhood, Ollie Vaughn’s fills with crowds from the early morning hours, with many people lingering to work for part of the day. Morning pastries are homey with choices like ham and cheese croissants and cinnamon rolls alongside simple, well-built options like quiche, lemon ricotta pancakes, and a two-egg breakfast. Check social media for specials, which venture a bit more into offbeat territory." - Jamie Phillis
"Ollie Vaughns is the kind of place that even locals can go years without discovering. Opened in 2013 by Lindsay Magee, this counter-service breakfast cafe and bakery serves up some of the best brunch fare in the city. They have an ever-rotating list of baked goods that never disappoint, and any version of an egg sandwich they put together is guaranteed to be a knockout. Open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m every day of the week." - McConnell Quinn
