Bask in the retro diner vibes at Snooze. With five locations throughout the state (and more in Colorado, California, and Texas), Snooze lures breakfast lovers with scrambles, sammies, and pineapple upside-down pancakes.

Postino got its start in a 1940s brick post office in Phoenix and has since expanded to Gilbert, Tempe, and Scottsdale.

Bite into grilled focaccia with over-easy eggs, asparagus, tomato salad, and herbed butter, or try the smoked salmon on toasted marble rye with dill cream cheese, capers, and gastrique onions. You won’t regret asking for a farmhouse scone to go.
