Prep & Pastry

We were seated right away. We got the fried chicken sandwich, half order of both the curd French toast and biscuits and gravy, and a kids meal. The chicken sandwich and fries were mediocre, I didn’t particularly like the biscuits and gravy. The kids meal was good, and the curd French toast was amazing. Ourservice was mediocre as the waitress hardly came to check on our table and we didn’t get our juice until I finally asked a manager for it.

Overall, my experience at this breakfast place in Tucson was a bit mixed. My family and I always make it a point to have breakfast here whenever we are in town, and this time we visited three times. Out of the three visits, two were great, but unfortunately, the last one was not up to par. One thing I really appreciate about this place is the amazing food. I prefer my breakfast items like eggs, bacon, and potatoes to be well done, and this place usually delivers on that front. However, during our last visit, the food was not cooked to my liking at all. It was a disappointment considering the previous two visits had met my expectations. Another letdown on our last visit was the lack of sufficient staff. It seemed like they were short-staffed that day, as it took an incredibly long time to place our order. My husband, who was hungry and impatient, even had to get up and search for a server. It was a bit frustrating and impacted our overall dining experience. Additionally, I have reservations when the server does not write down our order. On the other days, servers had taken the effort to jot down our requests, but this particular server did not. I couldn't help but wonder if he would have remembered to make my bacon well done if he had written it down. Despite these issues, we managed to get through the meal. It definitely wasn't their best work, but I would still recommend this place based on our positive experiences in the past. The food has generally been amazing, and hopefully, our last visit was just a one-off occurrence.

I really enjoyed the whole experience. The service was great. The food was great. The food seems to be your typical dishes but with a twist and that twist makes this place stand out. I didn't have enough room for a pastry, but I intend to try something next time.

Prep & Pastry is a great find and a real treat. The food was creative and delicious. The coffee was top notch as well, my only regret was not having the time to get a pastry as well. The facility is very large, airy and feels new. The staff is very friendly and attentive. All smiles and good cheer. I would love to eat here again.

Great and quick service!!! About an hour overall from seated to paying. The lemon honey lavender dousant was delicious! Definitely a different flavor from a doughnut or croissant but good nonetheless. The desert daisy cocktail I got was delicious! The biscuits and gravy were so so so good and the fried egg on top really made it great. Would recommend going here for breakfast / brunch if you’re looking for a great, not terribly expensive meal.
