1 Hash Kitchen Yelp

Hash Kitchen

Brunch · Chandler · $$
Insider Score6.6

Hash Kitchen is the room you book when someone in the group wants a scene with their eggs. The loaded hash bowls and stuffed French toast are the draws, the music runs loud, and the staff earns consistent praise for going beyond the basics. It handles weekend crowds without feeling chaotic, and the mimosa program keeps the pacing easy. Bring the crew, not the laptop.

2 Elmer's Tacos Yelp

Elmer's Tacos

Brunch · Chandler · $
Insider Score5.9

Elmer's Tacos runs a tight, affordable breakfast operation that Chandler regulars treat as a weekly ritual. The machaca plate and breakfast burrito with chorizo are the anchors, and the bean-and-cheese burrito has its own dedicated fan base. Counter-service speed, family-friendly, and one of the better value plays on this list at a dollar-sign price point. Crispy tacos are worth the detour.

3 Tryst Cafe Yelp

Tryst Cafe

Brunch · Chandler · $$
Insider Score5.2

Tryst Cafe works as both a weekend brunch destination and a quieter dinner stop, which gives it range most breakfast-only rooms lack. The eggs Benedict and stuffed French toast lead the morning menu; the staff is consistently called out for being knowledgeable and attentive. Gluten-free and fresh-ingredient options show up in the ordering pattern, making it a practical pick for groups with dietary splits.

4 Hoosier Cafe Yelp

Hoosier Cafe

Brunch · Chandler · $$
Insider Score5.8

Hoosier Cafe is the Midwest transplant's comfort call in Chandler. The buttermilk pancakes, country skillet, and biscuits and gravy hit the notes you'd expect, and the breaded tenderloin with fries draws particular praise from the ex-Hoosier contingent. Service runs friendly and the room has a neighborhood-regular feel. Owned by a guy named John who clearly reads his own feedback.

5 Eggstasy Tripadvisor

Eggstasy

Brunch · Chandler · $$
Insider Score4.9

Eggstasy keeps the focus on eggs done right: multiple Benedict variations, a stuffed French toast that shows up on most tables, and a breakfast skillet that covers the savory side. The room skews family-friendly and the format is brunch-spot casual. Solid weekend option in Chandler for the crowd that wants something a step up from a diner without the prix-fixe pretense.

6 Broken Yolk Cafe Yelp

Broken Yolk Cafe

Brunch · Chandler · $$
Insider Score5.8

Broken Yolk Cafe wins practical points before you even arrive: the remote waitlist means you can add your name from the car, which matters on holiday weekends when the lot fills fast. The pot roast Benedict is the order, and the chorizo breakfast burrito and stuffed French toast round out a menu that handles big groups without gaps. Service gets called out as attentive even on the busiest days.

7 Sunny's Breakfast & Lunch Yelp

Sunny's Breakfast & Lunch

Brunch · Chandler · $$
Insider Score5.5

Sunny's has been a Chandler fixture long enough that locals walk past it for years before finally stopping in. The room is clean and modern for a neighborhood breakfast spot, service runs quick during off-peak hours, and the buttermilk pancakes and breakfast skillet are the reliable orders. The fajita skillet gets mixed signals on seasoning, so stick to the simpler plates and you'll leave happy.

8 Over Easy - Downtown Chandler Yelp

Over Easy - Downtown Chandler

Brunch · Chandler · $$
Insider Score5.8

The Downtown Chandler location of Over Easy benefits from the walkable district energy around it and a staff that draws some of the strongest service praise in this list. The eggs Benedict and prickly pear mimosa are the standout orders. Good option for a friend catch-up brunch when you want a real room rather than a parking-lot strip-mall experience. Books up on weekends, so plan accordingly.

9 Wonderful Wanda's Yelp

Wonderful Wanda's

Brunch · Chandler · $
Insider Score5.7

Wonderful Wanda's is a smaller mom-and-pop room, so the wait is real on weekend mornings; go with that expectation and the rest is easy. The jalapeño cheddar biscuits are the sleeper item, and the eggs Benedict served on them is the move. Chicken and waffles and the loaded breakfast burrito round out the menu. Portions are generous for a one-dollar-sign price point.

10 The Crowned Egg Yelp

The Crowned Egg

Brunch · Chandler · $$
Insider Score5.9

The Crowned Egg sits in a shopping center and runs a Sunday morning crowd that fills early, so arriving around 9 a.m. gets you a seat without much friction. The eggs Benedict and blueberry pancakes lead the menu, and the outdoor patio is a good call during Chandler's October-through-April window. Note: the patio is no longer dog-friendly. Service reads as consistent and the room keeps a neighborhood-local feel.

11 First Watch Yelp

First Watch

Brunch · Chandler · $$
Insider Score5.2

First Watch is a national chain, but the Chandler location earns its spot on the merits: the lemon ricotta pancakes and Million Dollar Bacon are the reasons people return, and the quinoa power bowl gives the health-conscious half of the table a real option. The room is airy and the menu skews daytime-only. Service has drawn some complaints about slow table attention on busy shifts, so factor that into timing.

12 Blackberry Cafe Yelp

Blackberry Cafe

Brunch · Chandler · $$
Insider Score5.5

Blackberry Cafe runs busy and a bit loud on weekend mornings, but the wait moves and the kitchen keeps pace. The blackberry pancakes are the obvious order; the veggie skillet and Denver omelet cover the savory lane. Service is praised for being on top of the table even when the room is full. Good neighborhood pick for the crowd that wants a local room rather than a chain counter.
