2. 2.Grab a table on the covered patio where kids can move around more freely without disturbing other diners
3. 3.Let kids pick a treat from the pastry case first to keep them happy while you wait for your meal,the chocolate croissants are a kid favorite
4. 4.Order pizza to share family-style; the margherita is simple enough for picky eaters and the crust is perfect for little hands
5. 5.Parking lot can fill up fast, but there's additional street parking on nearby residential streets

Weekday mornings (8-10am) or early afternoons (2-4pm) are ideal for avoiding crowds. Weekend mornings get busy with the brunch crowd, so arrive right at opening (7am) if visiting Saturdays or Sundays.

Expect to spend $10-15 per person with kids ordering pastries or pizza. Parking is available in the shopping center lot. Counter-service ordering keeps things casual and kid-friendly, with both indoor and outdoor seating options.

The covered patio is perfect year-round in Phoenix, though summer months may be too hot for outdoor seating during midday. Check their Instagram for seasonal pastries and holiday specials like special breads during Thanksgiving and festive treats in December.
