Breakfast restaurants in Southwest

  1. A

    Jailhouse Café

    The eggs benedict here is hard to beat but it ain't cheap. You're paying for the cute former-jailhouse and patio setting.

  2. B

    Coffee Pot Restaurant

    This has been the go-to breakfast and lunch joint for decades. It's always busy and service can be slow, but it's friendly, the meals are reasonably priced and the selection is huge – 101 types of omelets, for a start. (Jelly, peanut butter and banana omelet, anyone?)

    Matt's Big Breakfast

    First, a warning: even on weekdays lines are often out the door. There are no reservations, so sign your name on the clipboard and expect a 20-minute wait (and bring quarters for the meter). The upside? Best. Breakfast. Ever. Every regular menu item is great but daily specials – such as eggs scrambled with peppers and chorizo into fluffy-spicy- ohmygoodness on a bed of mouthwatering crispy home fries – are supremely yummy. A true Phoenix institution.

    La Bellavia

    Be prepared to wait in line at this popular, cash-only breakfast spot. The seven-grain French toast with bananas, apples or blueberries is excellent; or try one of their egg dishes, such as eggs sardo, with sautéed spinach and artichoke hearts. Lunch includes a grilled portobello-mushroom sandwich and a grilled salmon salad, as well as standard options like grilled cheese, burgers and a tuna melt.
