Downtown Chandler Cafe and Bakery
40 S San Marcos Pl, Chandler, AZ
Crema's Take
“This spacious Chandler spot excels at creating the perfect third place, with generous indoor and outdoor seating across multiple areas that make it equally welcoming whether you're settling in for a long brunch or grabbing coffee solo. Beyond reliable traditional espresso drinks and a stellar cold brew program, they've built a genuine reputation for exceptional pastries—jumbo cinnamon rolls, breakfast croissants, and apple fritters that keep locals coming back—paired with attentive service that makes families and groups feel genuinely valued.”

I love this place! Wonderful food, drink and service. Great atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating in front and back. Spacious, light and welcoming. My favorite spot to brunch in Chandler.
My husband and I love getting breakfast here and they have great coffee and tea drinks! They have some other kinds too, but have not tried those. They have indoor and outdoor seating.
OH MY GOD! This place is amazing! My second time here and it is such a treat! ☕️🥐❤️ Got the jumbo cinnamon roll and breakfast croissant ❤️ Delicious! And the coffee is hot! Love it here!!! Will be back to treat myself 🥰
This was our first time trying this place. We parked outside where there was free parking spots s. They have lots of seating areas. There's an area out front, inside when you walk in and some more out in the back for larger parties. We made our own seating area out front. At the front, you can see some of the baked goodies by the counter. We placed our order and they brought our food using table numbers. I ordered a veggie omelette which was pretty good and light. My family ordered a breakfast burritos with chorizo, the John Wayne Skillet, some waffles, French toast, fresh OJ and latte. They enjoyed their meals as well. We ordered some baked goods to take for the road: coconut zucchini muffin, pumpkin spice scone, mixed berry scone and a cinnamon twist. We definitely appreciated how friendly the staff was. The owner, Jorge, met with us. He let us know that the food is made fresh so it takes a little long. The overall experience was great. I recommend working here. They also so have WiFi. Looking forward to coming back here to eat again. My omelette was around 15 dollars and it came with potatoes on the side which were good. I think they are reasonably priced. The latte I had was about $5. Cheaper than chain cafe shops.
Great food and nice staff! Hubby loves their pastries and the Golden toasted latte with oatmilk. I tried the red eye coffee iced today which was good. The apple fritter was bomb and the blueberry muffin tasted okay.. a bit on the dry side. The skillet we shared was tasty but not sure if we will get it again.
