  2. Rank 2. Nami

    Vegan Dessert

    A converted house in downtown Phoenix where Damon Brasch serves decadent vegan ice cream and espresso drinks—the affogato here, with organic soy base and chocolate syrup drowned in shots, is a casual sweet spot that takes its craft seriously. The Tsoynami, his housemade ice cream loaded with mix-ins, comes in over 20 rotating flavors, and the pastry case fills with vegan cupcakes and cookies that won't remind you what they're missing.

  5. Rank 5. JL Patisserie

    French Bakery

    A European bakery where owner Jenna Leurquin turns out exceptionally flaky croissants, kouign-amann, and pain au chocolat alongside thick slices of quiche. The seasonally rotating coffees and buttery viennoiserie justify a morning detour, and the macarons and fresh bread travel well for later.

  6. Rank 6. Urban Cookies Bakeshop

    Bakery

    A brightly lit neighborhood bakery near Seventh and Camelback where owners Brady and Shaun Breeze—who won Food Network's Cupcake Wars as Ollie Cakes—turn out seasonally rotating, prettily frosted cupcakes and cookies without formal pastry training. Their signature brown boxes work as gifts, and the whole place has a fun, family-friendly vibe that keeps people coming back.

  13. Rank 13. La Purisima Bakery

    Mexican Bakery

    A line usually snakes out the door of this traditional Mexican bakery in Glendale, where the pastry cases overflow with molasses cochinitos, fruit-filled pan dulce, and those giant pink pig-shaped cookies that are dangerously addictive. The fresh tortillas and chile tamales are stellar, but come hungry and bring cash—it's the kind of place where you'll want to try everything.

  16. Rank 16. Golden Restaurant & Bakery

    Levantine Middle Eastern

    A casual Tempe spot where the flatbread menu alone—over 30 varieties, from za'atar manakeesh to spiced tomato wraps—could keep you coming back for months. The Levantine classics like hummus and baba ganoush are properly made, the slow-cooked beef dishes hit hard, and the house-made kenafa is the kind of dessert that justifies the trip.

  21. Rank 21. Sugar Bowl

    Dessert

    Sugar Bowl has been scooping ice cream for nearly fifty years, but the real revelation is their surprisingly good savory side—try the Chicado, a generous turkey salad with avocado and tomato, or the corned beef sandwich with Thousand Island dressing. It's a casual neighborhood spot where you can grab lunch and still have room for a three-scoop sundae.

    Dessert

    Two owners trained by an Italian gelato champion run this Old Town counter, where 20 flavors rotate daily with serious attention to balance and depth. It's the kind of place where you taste the craft in every spoonful, whether you're grabbing a cup on a hot afternoon or settling in with a cone.

  28. Rank 28. SugarJam

    Southern

    Chef Dana Dumas soaks thick challah in Grand Marnier for French toast with a caramelized crust, then tops it with vanilla butter and rum pecan maple syrup—this casual Southern brunch spot in Scottsdale turns the classic into something almost like deconstructed crème brûlée. Weekends bring cocktails and a DJ, but weekday visits reward you with shorter waits and equally exceptional savory options like catfish and grits or fried chicken and waffles.

    Eastern European

    A charming family spot in Mesa that trades strict Ukrainian borders for the meat-and-potatoes soul of Eastern Europe, with thick, buttery pierogi stuffed with everything under the sun and sausage griddled to a juicy snap. Beef goulash and pork schnitzel that outshine the competition, plus a market counter stocked with frozen pierogi and chilled soups to take home.

The magic is in the execution: each one arrives hot with a crackling exterior and a tender, yielding center that justifies all the hype.
