    This is a classier neighborhood stop. Casual dining experience and great atmosphere. The menu is unique, haven't disliked anything yet. Be prepared to wait for a table to open up it gets busy during high volume hours and tables are first come first sit, self seating. Recommended for a casual brunch or lunch or first meeting, it's not as formal as dinner out. They sell flowers but are by no means a flower shop. There is a cooler of flowers in the corner that's never full. All in all It's a great relaxing spot.

    Chestnut has potential to be amazing, unfortunately my experience was mediocre at best. I have been wanting to go to Chestnut for the past year but rarely make it past 32nd st on Camelback. Why? I'm not too sure. Either way, I made a mental note to make this my destination for today. The decor is beautiful. I love the yellow and grey. Not only are the colors bright but there is a ton of natural light. The center of the restaurant is the coffee bar/baked goods/regular bar/juice bar, and there is seating on the far side. My lady and I each ordered a sandwich, grilled cheese for me, some sort of club for her and we each ordered the lemonade. I asked for bacon on the grilled cheese but it came without so I double checked to make sure I hadn't been charged. The guy who took our order didn't hear me order it I guess, therefore he didn't charge me for it. The grilled cheese does come with tomato on it. It was small, but delicious. The club was descent but nothing to get excited over. Best part of the sandwich was the Noble bread. As for the lemonade, way too tart. After we ate we ordered a couple baked goods, a snickerdoodle for me and a pecan bar for her. They were also just ok. While she was up at the counter ordering, I was watching what was going on in the bar area and what I could see in the kitchen. I watched the guy who was making juice, grab a glove out of a mason jar. Thought it was kind of odd but figured they did that for decor purposes. Later I saw one of the employees filling it with gloves, but not wearing any while doing it. Kind of kills the purpose, don't you think? I doubt I will return. I came, I saw, I conquered, and I left disappointed. It's a great spot but nothing to get excited over.

    This place is awesome. Super calm vibe. Nice staff. Very helpful when I asked questions about the menu. Food was delicious. I ordered the egg salad sandwich. Which is to die for, by the way. Clean. Not much more to say than that. I'd recommend it to anyone for lunch/brunch. Outdoor and indoor seating.

    We landed here after planning on eating elsewhere. It's a nice place, just not great. The folks were nice and even brought our table a couple of cookies to share. The food ranged from blah to pretty good. One of our party actually sent something back. I had the braised short rib hash (chalkboard special) and the eggs were over well but the dish had a nice flavor. I tried a quinoa dish and was glad I had not ordered it,

    I met a friend here for lunch one day. It is cutely decorated and the food was good. But we waited a VERY long time for our food and there were only a few folks in the place! We had to ask a few times where our food was. Not to mention it was extremely difficult to find a clean table...the place was filthy. We were both underwhelmed by our experience here. I won't be back.

    Recently went here for a lunch with a girlfriend and by reading some of the reviews my expectations weren't too high. While walking in I loved the decor! Such a cute place for breakfast/brunch/lunch. My girlfriend had the Kale Salad with Salmon and I had the Green Goddess. We decided to sit on the patio since the weather was so nice. Our salads came back and they were very good size portions. I LOVED my Green Goddess Salad. It had some spice to it but the flavor was very good and I was happy that I had some noodles in every bite after mixing it all up. The service was good and everyone was friendly. I certainly will be back to try more things.

    I'm no longer a fan of this cafe and here is why: I needed to get some flowers for my wife yesterday afternoon. It was one of those "I should probably get her flowers." moments where husbands sometimes find themselves. Previously, we had eaten at Chestnut and browsed in Camelback Flowershop which is located inside the cafe. The woman working there that day was friendly and gave my wife their card and had hand written on it that on Fridays from 1-6pm they offer "Fresh Flower Happy Hour". It just so happened to be Friday afternoon that I needed to buy a bouquet. I didn't have our car that day, and called my friend to come pick me up and drive me over to the store. We arrived at 445pm. Chestnut closes in the early afternoon so of course the door was locked but I imagined their would some way to access the flower shop therein. We tried all the doors: all locked. I called the flower shop: no answer but the voicemail message said they were open at that time. I could see about 3 adults behind the bar inside Chestnut milling around, one was clearly staff cleaning, but the others looked like possibly owners/management. Someone's child was just inside the door playing with toys. I knocked, and the adults were clearly doing their best to not make eye contact because I was the dumb customer who clearly didn't know how to read the hours of operation sign. I KNEW they were closed I just wanted to find out why I couldn't get into the flower shop that was supposed to be open. We went around to the patio door and I mimed to them that I was trying to buy flowers. They looked away perturbed. So here's the thing: there are many flower shops in Phoenix. There are also a million places to eat in this area. But by not being open during advertised hours and not posting a sign or leaving an outgoing voicemail on the service with an explanation as to why I can't do business at CBFS during their clearly posted business hours, this shop has failed me as a potential repeat client. I understand life happens, emergencies arise, but it takes seconds to jot a note and stick it in the window: "Sorry we had to close early today. Please come again! :)" Chestnut failed because there I was standing there in 110 degree heat being made a fool of. Would it have KILLED the Chestnut people to come over, open the door and tell me why the flower shop is not open? Was it really necessary for me to stand there looking at them ignoring me, a former customer? Customer service is a dying art and is common courtesy apparently. I'm more disappointed in the Chestnut people as they were THERE. But I will tell you: the flowers I bought at Safeway are beautiful, and neither I nor my friend will ever spend any money at Chestnut again. Which is too bad cuz it's close to home and has decent food. But so will the new Matt's Big Breakfast opening soon at the Safeway mall at 32nd St. where I will be able to get brunch and flowers in the future.

    For March's Breakfast Club UYE after a little set back we walked our way to Chestnut, yep it was a brisk early morning walk to breakfast, it wasn't in the plan, but that's how it unfolded. I have to say Chestnut is a cute shop, I like the open feel of it, and the staff is real friendly and helpful. And they make a great tasting Mocha! I went with the weekend special, it was the short rib hash with 2 over easy eggs. In theory this dish would have rocked, but in reality it was a texture thing that was a little off. The onions were twice the size of the potatoes, the meat of the short rib looked like it was just ripped of the bone and tossed in with potatoes, just all chucky, I guess I like my hash to be equal in size haha. The flavoring was great though, so I got over the size textures sort of quickly. Over all Chestnut is a cute little place and glad I finally got to try them out

    I came to the Chestnut after expecting to eat somewhere else with a group and having to relocate at the last minute. It was underwhelming to say the least. The restaurant is very cutely decorated and the counter service was friendly. I got the short rib hash and the husband got the pancakes. We both had coffee. The price was pretty expensive... about 30$. The pancakes were flavorless.... like chewing a pile of nothingness... I would not recommend them at all. The hash was alright... the veggies were fine, but the short rib was in huge chunks and wasn't very tender. The whole thing wasn't seasoned and needed sriracha to make it palatable. Even then, it was nothing special. We also got to try a couple cookies and a muffin, all of which were fine, but not great. Coffee was good. Overall, it was not a place I would go back to necessarily, but it gets points for decor and service....

    The food was very good but front service needing work. Only one register and line was 6-8 people deep. Took too long to order. The girl at the register did not know about the food. She needs training on menu.

    Have been driving by this place for quite a while and was curious how the restaurant was. Ate lunch there after church on a Sunday afternoon place was very busy. Very trendy and happening place with loud music. The decor is very simple but quaint and not a very large dining area. The parking is a little awkward to get in and out The food has very nice concepts but misses the mark on taste and flavor. Shared the banana bread pancakes and lobster roll. The banana bread pancakes had pretty good taste but the syrup was terrible in taste. The lobster roll was pretty good but for $16.00 was questionable whether was worth it. The housemaid chips that accompany the mail looked better then they tasted. Most of the dishes are fairly simple but the ones that we had just did not hit the mark. Probably will not come back with all the restaurants in the area that are so good.

    2.5 stars. I was excited to try Chestnut because it looked so cute!!! We had a muffin and an 8 dollar bowl of pineapple and a few strawberries:(. It was not good:(. Muffin just average and to top it off the guy taking orders at the counter was super cranky!! We won't be back! I'd much rather go to Le Grande Orange!!! Kristen, yes all that you mentioned was missing from the fruit salad! It was literally a bowl of 8 dollar pineapple. You can PM me if needed.

    Like every restaurant, you have to find what you like. The pancakes breakfast is great! They have a fantastic desert menu!!! Mouth watering! Unique menu, small portions, healthy, and friendly is the best way to describe this place.

    Just went here to try Mama's Cold brew coffee. No prices listed but menu said cold brew was $2.50 for a large. My total for a large was $8.12!!! All I got was a large mama' scold brew. Cashier said a regular is $5 and the large is $8. That is the most expensive and most ridiculous price for coffee I have ever heard! I frequent other places for coffee a lot and an used to paying up to $5 for a large coffee, but $8 seems like a ridiculous price!! Will never go back again!

    What a disappointment. Now, I held off writing a review after a horrible first experience thinking that Chestnut had potential. First of all, they really have the ordering system wrong. You walk in and have to stand in line while they have one cash register for taking orders. Personally, I love places where I can pay and take my number to a table. There is really nothing more annoying than waiting for a server to bring you your bill so you can leave, although, Chestnut needs to speed up this process. There is no reason why I should have to stand in line for over 15 minutes when only 3 people are ahead of me in line. I went in today with a broken leg. So clearly after standing at the door on crutches for 15 minutes I was already a little irritated and ready to sit down. The girl who took my order, just rude. You could tell she didn't want to be there and did not want to help me. We ordered took our number and sat down. I'm still unclear if they bring the drinks to your table or if you're suppose to pick them up. After sitting at our table for another 10 minutes with no one bringing us waters or silverware my boyfriend went up to the coffee counter. There he found my drink and while he was gone an employee brought me his drink. I asked him for waters and he told me I had to get them myself. I explained and showed him I was on crutches and had a broken leg and could not carry them and kindly asked him to bring me one. He scoffed and said alright, the waters never came. I ordered a Lavender-Honey Latte. Wow....that was the worst coffee drink I've ever had. I asked the girl if I could get something else because it was that terrible. I've never sent back a coffee drink until today. Steer clear of this drink. She brought me a sugar-free vanilla latte with almond milk. It was so-so but not worth $6. For breakfast I ordered the Bibimbay Bowl which is two poached eggs on a bed of steamed kale, quiona and siracha. I don't know how they managed it, but once again another terrible dish. It was down right disgusting. Salty, the kale wasn't cooked enough and I don't know what seasoning was used but it was awful. After sending back my coffee, which didn't come out until after my food arrived, I wasn't even going to say anything. After two terrible experiences at this restaurant, I will be eating breakfast at any other restaurant. It's safe to say that Chestnut is possibly the WORST RESTAURANT IN PHOENIX.

    Not impressed. 2nd visit and service not great or friendly. Could be because both times I cam in near 2which is close to 3, their closing time. All Tables were dirty and was not busy so not sure why they couldn't have been wiped off The chopped salad and and famous "Buddy" sandwich we had were good but nothing so special that I would return to order. The best part -- and I really did appreciate is that the coffee is out for free refills and is decent coffee. Wish they offered stevia instead of Splenda. With so many "like" places nearby, this one needs to make some changes to stand apart.

    We were in the mood for an impromptu picnic yesterday, so decided to stop by to make that happen. The decor of the space is bright and very welcoming...the staff was too. I ordered the proscuitto and brie sandwich with sweet potato chips for both of us and we were pleased - nothing extraordinary, but just plain good.

  • Morgan T.

    Let's start this review by saying, you need to go try their iced coffee. It is fantastic. I mean just the plain 'ol cold brew iced coffee, no cream, no sugar. Delicious. I love this place! It reminds me of little urban coffee shops on the east coast mixed with that Northern California Farmer's Market / Artisanal twist. They are a little on the pricey side. One morning it was close to $9 for an iced coffee and a side of eggs. The eggs were perfectly cooked. All of their ingredients are very fresh. I had the kale salad which unfortunately had too many raisins for my liking, but they were easy to pick out. One of my cousins had the French toast that she was not particularly impressed by so she grabbed a pastry that she enjoyed instead. My other cousin got the eggs benedict with arugula that she loved. Entrée envy. We were treated with great service. They also offer flower bouquets from the camelback flower shop. They're gorgeous. I have to stop myself from splurging every time I go in there. I definitely recommend this if you are in town. They also have a little area to entertain the kiddos while mom and pop have a date.

    Parking is all but impossible and super frustrating. The vibe is pretty urban chill inside and comfortable. The menu is limited for my personal taste. That being said, the short rib sandwich is real good and the sweet potato chips are pretty tasty. I will get the lobster roll if I ever return.

  • John M.

    Ok, let me just start out by saying that the best tuna sandwich in town is here (you get the choice of hot or cold! Who does that?!). Not to say that reason alone is the only thing you should look for here. Quite the contrary. The treats (scones, muffins, cookies, and more) are tastebud-meltingly amazing. Full choice of breakfast selections, smoothies, juices, and sandwiches-all able to satisfy the super health conscious and those in to let their cravings run wild. The coffee is also top notch and would eat Starbucks' for lunch (or breakfast.lol) given a head to head confrontation. That would almost be enough to justify that I did my part in sharing with my fellow local Arizona restaurant fans the gift that this place is for us who live here-but it's not! Reason being, I would be forgetting to mention how friendly the staff is here and great the service is. Expect to feel welcome when you come in, and unfortunately, that is not the case in most restaurants nowadays. Next, this place looks hip, has a very clean and modern look, which you can see from the minimalist design of the menus, to the touchscreen pad up front where you can key in your phone number for specials; it is immediately impressed upon you that quality is important to the owners here. That is further confirmed for when you try the food. :) Ingredients make the difference, and you get what you pay for here. Lastly, there are really comfortable seating arrangements here: different types of chairs inside, so that you can relax outside, lounge on some of the soft seats inside, or sit up at the bar on the stools. Either way yields more than enough comfort to suit your mood; whether you are staying for a while or on the go, there is no way to go wrong. I will be back. A LOT. Hope you will get to enjoy also! :)

    Another fast-casual restaurant choice now open in my 'hood... hooray! Chestnut Fine Foods & Provisions has actually been open just over a month to date, but I waited a couple of weeks to check it out... and while I've been in only a few times so far, I will definitely be returning... and likely soon. They carry Cartel coffee and MJ bread, and Camelback Flower Shop is conveniently located in the same building. During my visits, I sampled the Lobster Cobb Salad, the Bruce Lee, a blueberry muffin, and the Apple Apple (apple and pineapple juice). Additional Pros: *clean and bright ambiance with yellows and whites, flowers, and more *free wifi *friendly staff *kids area with a chalkboard, table, markers and paper + a great kids menu for both breakfast and dinner *a spacious outdoor dining area *a variety of options on the menu from fresh squeezed juices and pastries, sandwiches and salads *open daily 7am -7pm *spacious and clean restrooms Things to work on / keep in mind: -they were out of "It's Not Easy Being Green," the special kids' juice that I wanted to order for my son when I was there -it's kind of funky with parking unless you're heading south on 44th street and pull into their entrance prior to hitting Camelback -- when I go, I am usually heading west on Camelback and end up having to park at the office complex next door -- on their website, it says they have complimentary valet though! -the menu is diverse but kind of limited; they do not carry omelettes (egg whites or otherwise); I'm hoping they change this in the future! Whether you head in for a cup of coffee or juice, a pastry, or a more substantial meal, and no matter if you're solo or meeting a friend or dining with a group, Chestnut is a comfortable new addition to the 'hood.

  • Allison S.

    First let's get one thing out of the way, pastry there is always 5 stars, however I have been there twice and always something important has been left out of my salad. I had the lobster salad yesterday and asked for the egg to be left out due to me not liking egg, but then they left out the corn! The corn is one of the most important ingredients. I didn't go to the counter and mention it as I was with a friend and a small child. Also my lobster was overcooked which is sad for a salad. As we left my friend mentioned her salad was missing the nuts, so I knew that I needed to review. Owners if you are reading this time to go wake up or shake up your salad person. The last time I was there same thing happened with my quinoa salad- ingredients missing.

  • Bradford E.

    First off the parking lot was harder the heck to get into just an FYI but besides that I love the set up of this place. It's very open with a square bar in the middle. It's a great lunch place. The menu was a not my favorite and they stopped serving breakfast after 11 so that was a bit annoying but what won me over was the sandwich I ordered. "Short rib manwich". It was simple and amazing. It came with great sweet potato chips that I couldn't stop eating. It was 11 bucks but I would over it every time.

    Chestnut is an adorable new restaurant that opened up in the Arcadia neighborhood. The decor is fantastic, wide open glass doors and inviting seating arrangements. You order your food at the counter, take a number, and a runner will serve it to you. If only the food & price matched the service and decor. My husband and I had lunch here, I ordered the green goddess salad and my husband had the chicken salad sandwich and we both had arnold palmers with prickly pear iced tea. My salad was very good, lots of flavor and I really enjoyed the crunch of the nuts and the shaved coconut, the rice noodles were a little hard though. The price was steep at $12 for a salad without protein. My husband's chicken salad was absolutely tasteless, no flavor at all. Most of the time chicken salad has some sort of crunch to it due to extra ingredients, but this wasn't really chicken salad. It was just plain chicken with a little mayo, not worth the $9 price. Our arnold palmers which were about $4 each didn't include fresh lemonade, it came from a carton which is fine but not for that price. Chestnut is really cute and might be a place where I would grab a coffee every once in a while, but I can't see myself coming back here often as there's tastier and more reasonably priced options in the area. This was not worth the $30 for lunch for two.

  • Matthew G.

    Very cool style and decor.....but this place is depressing and the food is depressing. From the music to the staff, they all need an attitude adjustment. We ordered the banana pancakes, and they were absolutely terrible. They tasted like mushy oatmeal. The other orders at our table did not look appetizing. The salad looked wilted and the bread from the sandwich was stale. To add to it, there was a fly all around our table and on our food. My wife gave up on her food. Will not return.

    A cute little industrial brunch spot with healthy breakfast and lunch options Service is okay The girl at the front was very brief and didn't really explain how ordering/seating/beverages worked but we figured it out The menu is on your immediate right when you walk in and there are paper menus on the counter (tip) Complimentary water on the SW side of the counter-bar Our server was very nice Today I had the egg salad sanny and it came with chips and pickled cucumbers It was a pretty decent meal I thought I would expect more for the price but I guess it was the area Also, there is a little kid section Don't get me wrong, I love kids But this restaurant doesn't seem very kid-friendly... Or at least that's what I think with the heavy steel chairs with that flooring... There were many children there this morning and aside from the screaming and yelling... The kids were rearranging furniture and such... My main concern being the chairs and tables... Not very kid-safe... I am not sure how I feel about this place, it's cute, perhaps I will give it another go soon... Stay tuned Yelp

    Ordered "chestnut salad" Not fresh at all. Every ingredient was about 2-3 days old resulting in a very disappointing lunch. May try something else in the future cause the location is decent.

  • Elaine K.

    Let me start off by saying, the cookies and bran muffin I sampled were absolutely delicious!! Also, the service was fine - patient and kind - even amidst some VERY rude women with kids who sent the children's food back because the toast wasn't crispy enough.. That being said, I ordered the chopped salad with mixed greens and romaine I believe. The mixed greens were not just old, they were decomposing. Mushy and falling apart. Smelled terrible. This really irks me when you're paying $13 for a high-quality salad. I'm disappointed the chef didn't care enough to check what he puts on the plate. Otherwise, it would have been a great salad! I'm not that picky, but a lazy chef who doesn't care about food quality before the plate goes out is a bad sign.

  • Vic M.

    Literally one star and that's for creating enough curiosity when driving by to actually stop in. We tried this place today for lunch and there were red flags everywhere. The menu is nothing special. The hardest part was deciding which mediocre choice sounded like the best. My husband chose a turkey jalapeno carrot slaw sandwich. He said it was so hot from the fresh jalapenos that a rare few would be able to eat it. I had a prosciutto brie frischece or something. Nothing exciting going on there. We sat at a table that wobbled, thought about moving to the next but it wobbled too. The cushion was terribly dirty. There were crumbs and stains. It looked like the seat under my daughter's car seat. Gross. I am not just picking on this place. I've never even felt compelled to write a review before today. This place was a waste of money and we left hungry. I expect more for the area. If the only thing going for this place is their oatmeal..sad day for the owners. This place really needs a better menu for choosing such a bold color to represent their establishment. We were drawn to it because of the color, but we should have read the reviews first.

    It is wonderful going to a breakfast spot in Arcadia/Biltmore at 10:30a on a Sunday, and it is not chock full of diners. I love that I can order my entire meal at the counter, while being dazzled by their selection of Tammy Coe pastries and various other home baked goods, such as the decadent Almond Croissant (of which our party had 3). It is nice getting my daily juice fix with their "Green Market Goodness" with kale, cucumber, orange, lemon and olive oil and satisfying my sweet tooth with the Lemon Ricotta Waffles (honey ricotta cheese and blueberry compote). My favorite savory selection here is the "Sandi" with gruyere, arugula, truffle aoli, egg, and choice of meat. The wide open space that lets in the natural light on all sides, the centralized pastry bar, the flower shop in the corner, the coffee and juice bar by the door, the kids corner where your little ones can entertain themselves while you order another Cartel coffee, the outdoor seating, the low level of noise generated by other customers, the cool beats heard overhead, I thoroughly enjoy this spot for breakfast.

  • Diana B.

    You can get breakfast and lunch here, treats from Tammie Coe, flowers from Camelback Flowershop and coffee from Cartel. I myself, like to start with a dirty Chai and then head straight into lunch with a hearty Five Spice Banh Mi. A gorgeous piece of bread topped with chicken, carrots, daikon, cucumbers, pickled onions, jalapenos, cilantro and a sriracha lime mayo. It comes with a side of sweet potato chips, they are good! Looking for breakfast? The banana bread pancakes might peak your interest, they're gluten free so beware of the different texture but they come with vermont maple syrup, honeyed walnuts and some bacon. If you're in the mood for a different kind of take on breakfast try the Morning Bibimbap bow. It's filled with quinoa, tamari, green onions and sauteed kale with poached eggs and korean chili paste. This is going to fill up your belly and put a little fire in your mouth. Also check out the green eggs and ham, true to its name, the eggs look green because of the fresh pesto they place on top, prosciutto and arugula help round this beauty out.

    We enjoyed eating breakfast on the patio at Chestnut in late November. I had the Sandi with bacon. It was absolutely delicious. A little heavy on the aioli but I was ok with it. Every element of the sandwich was fresh and satisfying. My friend had the lemon ricotta waffles and loved them. I tasted a bite and the lemon ricotta was velvety and tart. The service at the counter wasn't super friendly but it was prompt and courteous. We met the owner on our way out, she was very friendly and chatted with us for a few minutes. I would recommend Chestnut if you're in search of something fresh and different for breakfast.

    I had a wonderful breakfast of Lemon Ricotta Waffles and a side of bacon. Seriously delicious. Even with the bigger cup of coffee, my meal was only $15 after tip. I found the service to be very friendly. The guy at the counter gave me lots of info and recommendations when I told him I was a first-timer. Beautiful, airy, sunny atmosphere with great food. I'll be back.

    Was driving by at lunch time with a bit of time to kill. When I saw that they had juice I decided to stop in and try it. I had a huge kale salad with pine nuts, romano cheese and dried currants. It was fresh and I thought it was a unique offering. Drank a cup of great coffee (from Cartel, I believe) and thoroughly enjoyed my Bruce Lee juice (carrot, ginger... Plus some other stuff). Parking was no problem and they have a nice, albeit very noisy, patio seating area. Staff was prompt, knowledgable and courteous. Prices are in the higher end of the range for lunch, but really about the same as other restaurants of similar caliber. I would definitely return and recommend to friends.

    I'm glad my expectations were not high (thank you Yelp!). Such a cute place, with so much potential... But so much competition on neighboring streets in Arcadia, where good food really is *everywhere*. I came here on a Sunday for brunch w friends. They had small dishes of samples of baked goods on the display case, so that being my favorite thing I went for it. Blech. So awful. The blueberry scone/cake thing was absolutely rubbery and tasteless. No flavor. The shortbread cookie with pistachios was also lacking any distinct flavor. I ordered a small maple oat scone, which was at least edible but, please- for the love of God- hire a new baker!! It is NOT hard to bake. I'd rather waste my calories at LA Grande Orange down the street. My friend ordered the tofu bahn mi which was pretty delicious. It came with sweet posts to chips which were good. The toast he ordered came to the table stale and cold. Really?? Get your shiz together, this is Arcadia....

    If you want a great dining experience, don't go to Chestnut Fine Foods and Provisions in Phoenix. Just don't. You'll walk in to the breakfast and lunch spot, like I did on a recent Sunday morning, and you'll be greeted by a crowd of people standing in disorganized lines to order -- not exactly a relaxing way to start your breakfast. Then, they'll be out of your favorite drink -- in my friend's case, it was the Lavender Honey Iced Latte. The person taking your order won't be friendly, just indifferent. Even when you tip more than 20 percent at this order-at-the-counter eatery, don't expect great service. The girl who delivers the coffee latte you had to settle on will scowl as she sets it down on your table, which, by the way, has no silverware or napkins. Now, the fun part -- my pal and I waited 30 minutes for our food, watching as tables who sat down after us received theirs. When my pal finally asked what was up, we found out our ticket had been "burned" -- meaning the order had mistakenly been perceived as already delivered -- which means our food hadn't even started to be cooked. This message was delivered by the sous-chef, who actually told my friend and I, "I'm delivering the food because everyone in the kitchen is messing up." If only that was followed by an, "And your meal is free because we're giving sucky service today." My friend received her coffee 15 minutes before I got my orange juice, and when we finally got our food, the disappointing experience continued. Sure, my Lemon Ricotta Waffles ($7.25) were OK, but my friend's Green Eggs and Ham ($7.50), she said, was horrible. It came with poached eggs, prosciutto, pesto and arugula on an English muffin, and she said the English muffin was hard, the egg was runny, there wasn't enough pesto, and the ham was undercooked. Even if I wasn't vegetarian, I would still think that was really gross. Maybe we would have left with a better taste in our mouths if the people working at the Chestnut actually seemed like they cared about the people eating there. For now, I'd recommend never going there. Ever.

    When a family member suggested this place to meet for lunch, I was almost afraid to come after reading horrible reviews. I believe that those lowly reviews were given a little too prematurely considering the place just opened. When we arrived, we were pleasantly greeted by staff. I got a green goddess salad and a gardener juice. The veggies were freshly cut and tasted robust. My husband ordered the lobster cobb salad that he enjoyed. His daughters got the chestnut chopped salad that tasted delicious. All our salads just had the right amount of dressing allowing you to taste the freshness of the organic ingredients. Seating is quite limited inside but they do have several tables at their patio area. They also have a flower shop in the restaurant. Before we left we ordered chocolate chip cookies to go after hearing how good they were. They were not greasy and a great munchy ;) please check my photos for ingredients of our salads. You will want to try their food out after viewing them. Give them a chance. These little places serving healthy meals are quite beneficial to the community and bad reviews could cause a loss in business that not only hurt business owners but employees as well. Please check them out yourselves before forming an opinion although I would stay away from anything with the English muffin that had been consistently bashed. Here's a link to their menu: chestnutaz.com/ChestnutM…

    I wish I had looked at Yelp before coming here. But I can say - I understand why this is 3 stars. We walked in to and almost empty resto after first trying to get into a packed Flour Child. We thought we found a hidden jewel. Waiting in the single register line for nearly 20 minutes behind 4 other people (one single + 1 group of 3) was ridiculous. We tried to give benefit of the doubt - thinking our fellow diners were (perhaps) being difficult. Nope! The wait sucked. Pricing was high. Food was good. So, my summary, I won't be back. With so many other faster, better fast casual restos in Arcadia (paradise bakery, wildflower, anything at the Biltmore) this place has got to pick up it's game or it will be just another short-lived place that changes names 1,000 times. But without the endearing "you know the old Chestnut."

    Stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It wasn't too busy so we could order quickly. Chose the smoked salmon plate and the baked oatmeal. Both were good but the salmon needed more seasoning. The oatmeal was really rich and we couldn't finish it but was quite flavorful. Bought the butterscotch roll to go - really good! The service was good but nothing special. We'll be back...worthwhile spot to go to on a quiet weekend.

    Mimosas are amazing. Made with fresh orange juice. The food is fresh and light. Great place to grab a quick healthy meal that will keep you going and not bog you down. Take a break and grab somw.good food. And I could eat the chocolate chip cookies all day. #chestnutvip

    We go here at least 3 times a week for breakfast . They have the best oatmeal in the city by far !!! Great protein pancakes and thick bacon . If you are looking for a cool vibe , casual atmosphere and friendly service check it out

    As soon as I walked up, my eyes got a delightful feast from all the designer decor, delicious pastries, and cute cashiers. However, after I got inside it was kind of hard to navigate and figure out exactly where to order, some signage is much needed. This place is just starting out, and it's apparent. The employees didn't seem to know the menu very well or how to navigate the POS systems. We ordered breakfast and elixers. It would have been nice if we got our drinks before we sat down, but we had to ask the food runner to locate them. Also, no water when we sat down either, a must here in Arizona. Now on to the food: It came out quickly and it looked fantastic. We were able to set the other things aside because the food was so damn good. I had a breakfast bowl with quinoa, poached eggs, kale, and chili sauce. I've been on this crazy organic, vegan, no sugar, wanna kill myself because I just want a donut diet, but this is one of the few places in the valley that has fresh, healthy dishes. My boyfriend had the banana bread pancakes with bacon. OH MY LORD. I just had a bite, but it was the most magical experience I've had all week. Once Chestnut works out all the kinks, I think it's going to be one of the hottest breakfast/lunch spots. Has a hip vibe and fantastic food. I highly recommend.

    I want to give this place five stars... The food is really, really good. Their kale salad is amazing. The pastries are good, especially the pecan bar and cookies (more so than the muffins and scones). The decor is really nice; it feels light, airy, and casual. They even have a little kids' corner. They have healthy and delicious options, and great kids' options too. The two reasons I can't give it five stars are easy to fix: 1) There is no decaf espresso, which is SO weird and kind of makes it a deal breaker for me as a coffee/morning place. 2) They moved the kid area over by the register where there are no normal tables, so you can't sit near your kids while they play. There is one high-top table, but that doesn't work if you have a baby in a high chair, or if you have to get down to discipline/help your kids, and obviously kids can't sit there. Very strange.

    Today was the official opening of Chestnut. I meet some friends for lunch. When you walk into the big open space, you order at the counter, receive a number and find a table. Our drinks (green tea) were delivered promptly. I ordered the Green Goddess salad that had rice noodles, kale, swiss chard, cashews, toasted coconut and a spicy Asian dressing. It only took about 5-10 min to receive our food and the service was always with a smile. The salad was very good...maybe better if they would have had more greens and less noodles, but still light and delicious. My friends ordered the Chestnut Chop salad which looked good and the Lobster Roll, which looked AMAZING. This is not the mayo-loaded-gut-bomb you have come to expect from lobster rolls. I didn't even see any mayo. I can't tell you about the taste because my friend refused to give up one bite and finished the whole thing! lol The patio is great. There is an adorable flower shop inside as well. Welcome to the neighborhood Chestnut, you will be seeing a lot of me!

    This place seems to have a couple bad reviews here and there. This place was just fine on a Friday afternoon at lunch time (along with a crowd of worker bee's getting their lunches) Food was tasty, atmosphere was just fine (maybe a tad bit noisy) but overall a place to at least visit a couple times to get a good feel for it. A bit pricey for what you get. (Ordered a club sandwich and my girlfriend got a sandwich along with a pomegranate drink and a coffee iced drink she got) all for just under $30.

  • Cindy T.

    Cute place, food mediocre at best. Decided to check it out when I was on my way to LGO. Got the prosciutto & Brie sandwich which was only prosciutto and Brie and bread. No figs, balsamic, Dijon or anything! First time ever I have not enjoyed a sandwich with prosciutto on it. Fresh sweet potato chips were good, but I was really hungry. :(. Btw, parking in this center is terrible so carpool if you must come here but I wouldn't suggest it.

  • Summer B.

    I always get the green eggs and ham. Today I tried the ricotta waffles. They were very yummy. Would recommend both. Also love the juices. Hubby loved the sweet potato chips. The toys for the kids helped have a smooth trip, and the staff is always helpful and friendly.

  • Danielle M.

    A quaint and simple breakfast/lunch place. My daughter and I ate here for lunch. Although the menu was small, the food was good. It is what I would call clean simple food. The fruit salad was my favorite part!!! The sandwich wasn't anything special, but the sweat potato fries were yummy! Their breakfast menu looked much more enticing to me than their lunch menu.

    We visited Chestnut for the first time today, ordering the lobster roll and lobster Cobb salad. Our food arrived with a strong fishy odor, the patrons at the next table actually cringed. The lobster was stringy and clearly rotten. We sent the food back and the manager came over to apologize. I asked her if she tasted the lobster and she said no, she doesn't eat lobster. She explained that the lobster is frozen, not fresh, because we aren't near an ocean. Huh???? The manager offered to order us something else and refund the difference. She also provided a gift card. She handled it well. I suggested to her that the chef should be checking the lobster before it is served as it has clearly been thawed and unused for days. For $16 a plate I would have expected fresh lobster, the live version that is flown all over the country, something they seem not to know. I will not return unless they upgrade their chefs. They seem not to care that food is clearly rotten before serving it to customers.

  • Kyle S.

    Bottom line: the food is average for the vibe/price point they're going for here. You're better off going to LGO for a better tasting option in the same genre. I ordered an egg/bacon sandwich which was fine, but average. My girlfriend's salad had old avocado and was generally bland and unexciting. The chicken in the salad was particularly dry and unappetizing. You can't spend more money on decorating and establishing the look of your restaurant's brand than you do on the food.

    The Sandi sandwich was very tasty, next time I'll skip the aioli though. I opted for the roasted turkey as my protein and asked for raw jalapeños on the side, great way to give it a kick! My son had the Lil Lumberjack and it was a good sized portion. His apple carrot juice was delicious and my coffee was awesome as well. I'll definitely be back. Oh, one last thing, the peanut butter gluten free cookie was amazzzzing! Eaten with a hot cup of coffee, is heaven! :D

    I was shocked when I saw this place only had 3 stars. It couldn't be any cuter-- a perfect environment to take friends to brunch. I've enjoyed everything I've had here. The highlights have been the Bruce Lee-- don't be deterred by the spicy ingredients, you'll love it-- and the Green Goddess salad with the delicious noodles underneath. Service is fast and efficient-- walk-ups are my favorite, no waiting for a server. There's a camelback flower shop inside and it's fun to enjoy their little arrangements on your table. I'm a sucker for cute delicious places, especially in the Arcadia area, and I absolutely recommend coming here!

    What a disappointment! We were so excited to visit this place for the first time, but the food was served cold and everything was tasteless. It took forever to get our order even though the place was not too busy. Pancakes where blend and bacon was very greasy and not crispy. We for sure know that we are not coming back to this place.

  • Erin B.

    Wow! Local moms you have to get here ASAP! The food offerings look amazing. I saw some grab and go that needs to be in my fridge- now. However, I only came in for a quick cup of coffee. The cashier encouraged me to try the lavender infused honey latte. Amazing. Great recommendation. Both the owners were in there- wow! What inspiring, kind and fantastic women. Give this place a try!

    I had the bibimbap bowl and it was delicious! Eggs were poached just right. My husband got the banana protein pancakes and they were super tasty! Only negative is that the utensils are collectively held in mason jars but it seems like they are always running low. Just give me utensils with you bring my food so I can chow down :)!

  • Cara A.

    I love that a couple of AZ gals have the moxie to set up shop on a piece of prime real estate without any real restaurant operations experience. I really would love to have a new quality-driven spot to grab coffee and lunch in the area. The food was good, and I like the design of the space. Now for some feedback. $3.75 for a cup of black coffee is absurd. It's absurd for NYC, absurd for SF, and especially absurd for PHX. I know it's Cartel coffee, and I respect that; but, at Cartel, Blue Bottle, and Intelligencia, your coffee is made to order. And it's fantastic. Even if the big batch of thermos coffee was fantastic (it did not taste like the Cartel I know and love), $3.75 for drip is not alright. It would be helpful to have a coffee & food menu at both pay points. It'd make ordering easier for your guests and quicker for you guys to execute. However, you'd probably be selling far fewer drip coffees with your prices out in the open. I know I would have opted for an Americano. Also, those little milk bottles for cream, soy, and almond milk are so cute, but so messy! My life-long vegetarian friend got the GF pancakes, after being informed that the waffles were not an option due to a broken waffle maker. The pancakes were delicious, but a small portion. What she did not find delicious was the bacon on her plate! You gotta warn the veggies about any dead animals that are paired with their otherwise cruelty-free meal. She could have been a big pain about this, but she's got bigger seals to save. One last thing, get your staff to buy in! Coming from someone who has spent a lot of time working in restaurants, some of which happen to be your competition, you guys need a service manager to help you out. When I asked the employee at the register what to have for breakfast, she shyly said, "Well, normally I'd say the waffles, but our machine is broken. I haven't tried anything else." What?! There were many tables to be bussed, and employees just seemed to breeze by them. "Full hands in, full hands out!" If you say it enough, your people will have work dreams about maximizing their steps. Treat your people as your awesome team, and they will start acting like one. Educate, empower, and invest in your staff. Give them the tools to guide your guests' experiences. And quit it with this overpriced and poorly made drip coffee. Hey, at least I'm not complaining about... parking.

  • Nick W.

    I went here with a friend just for a quick bite to eat. The location is ok but the parking is terrible. We walk in and nobody greets us. We walk to the register and place our orders. I ordered the blueberry pancakes but when my plate hit the table, I knew what the waitress delivered was not the blueberry pancakes I ordered. I was tired of waiting so I just ate what I was given. Not the greatest customer service and the food isn't stellar

    Chestnut baked oatmeal was divine! Cinnamon apple compote, honeyed walnuts and creme fraiche, so, so, good! Great vibe, sat out front on the patio, charming decor, great Cartel coffee, perfect way to start my week!

  • Tom D.

    Have to say my first experience was not a great one of Chestnut. Came here for two things, grab a latte and Camelback Flower Shop. One, the flower shop was closed, not sure that makes any sense on a weekend. I love the Camelback Flower Shop, but they really should be open on Sundays at Chestnut. Second, and this is my reason for the 2 stars, the service is horrible here. With only 2 of us in line how can ordering and receiving a latte take 20 minutes. The staff runs around like they're lost and there is no communication. Employees would rather talk to each other than acknowledge they have a customer waiting to order. I really don't think I will ever go here again. Total letdown, I would much rather just go to the Camelback Flower Shop and Cartel Coffee.

    Super cute cafe-style restaurant that is great for brunch! I got the Lemon Ricotta Waffles, and they were delicious! My friend got the Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich, which comes with sweet potato chips, and really enjoyed her food too. My only complaint is that my meal arrived about 10 minutes after hers, so we couldn't start eating together. Next time I might try a sandwich.

    Limited menu, confusing set up. Baked goods (muffin at least) dry and grainy. Order delivered to table in spurts. Waiter came by twice asking if we had ordered a smoothie. Finally had to go back to the counter to get the muffin we ordered. Had a sand I with bacon. Egg was cooked perfectly, bacon was well done and flavorful, English muffin was disappointing. If they make it through the first year I'll be surprised.

    Good food! I usually go in for the prosciutto breakfast sandi and some granola. Great food, they just need to nail down the consistency with the food... That will come with time! Coffee is good, just wish they had a well trained barista/coffee lover. That really makes the coffee, especially with the creative designs, I love those! Overall great breakfast spot!

  • Sean L.

    I arrived at Chestnut around 11:00 and decided to have lunch. Parking is weak because a lot of spots are reserved for other businesses and you might have to park way around the corner and walk to the restaurant. Also, the parking lot is one way only so if you find a spot just take it! When my buddy and I got in we weren't even looked at and had to figure out where to order. You walk up to the right of the counter where the register is and the main menu is hanging from the ceiling. I got the club sandwich with an iced green tea and it came with sweet potato chips. The tea is REAL. I can tell if I'm drinking good tea and it is very high quality. As for the food itself, it was also high quality and you could tell they use good ingredients. The bread was soft and fresh, the meats tasted organic and the sweet potato chips were great. Overall a decent meal but just not worth $15 plus a tip. If they lowered their prices I would come here more. Until then, I'll pass.

  • Des R.

    Such an adorable restaurant and what a bonus- the food is fantastic!!! I love the spin the owners took on this menu; there is a little bit of everything for any type of eater. I personally fell in love with two things my first time there and I cannot get enough of them, the Lobster Roll and the Bonh Mi. One would more than likely picture a Lobster Roll in Scottsdale as some canned lobster with mayo on a sub, but not here!! Chestnut served it with huge chunks of fresh lobster with an amazing sauce that has a bit of kick to it. (PS- I would kill for the recipe)! The Bonh Mi is something that I have never had anywhere. My husband has been to Asia multiple times though so he was excited to try. When I took a bite of his I was in heaven! The chicken mixed with the pickled onions, cilantro and spicy mayo was such a great combo. My husband said it compared to what he has had overseas. Staff is kind and helpful. Restaurant super clean and the decor is cool modern with a rustic twist. Can't wait to return

  • Colby R.

    Second time here. This place lost a star because they implemented valet parking. [prepare for small rant] Valet parking for this size of restaurant is the dumbest thing they could have done. I understand the girls who own this place want to pretend this place is nicer than it is, but it's not valet parking nice. There are literally 8 parking spots! The dirty chai is really good and the oatmeal is one of the best I've had. The bacon is candied, I personally am not a fan of that.

    Had a meeting downtown Phoenix with a colleague and we decided to head over to Chestnut for lunch! We loved the concept! They took an old bank and transformed it into a clean & healthy eatery with a very nice ambiance. My colleague and I both had the Butternut squash soup for starters, followed by the Lobster Cobb and the Green Goddess salads and all was amazing. We were also told to try the blended drinks and both tried the "Bruce Lee" which was excellent & loved the punch it had in it. They have tons of sweets which I took home to my wife, coffees, teas a breakfast menu, a small flower shop inside as well a kids corner along with a kid menu! Going to take my wife over the weekend only wish it was closer to the West Valley! Bravo and again congrats Chestnut! We just loved it... Merci

  • Jill G.

    I was excited to check this out as a new nearby lunch place (close to work) and suggested we try it to my co-workers on Friday. First drawback: the parking. Almost worse than LGO. And it's not even busy yet. Small lot that is hard to get to - being on the busy intersection. Most of the open spots were reserved for other businesses so this will for sure be a drawback in the future. Second: Menus weren't up and you didn't really know where to order. We were given paper menus. Tried ordering an Arnold Palmer or Strawberry Lemonade and both were not available yet. ?? One of my co-workers tried to order one of the juice drinks at the top of the menu and they didn't have those yet either. Then another co-worker tried to order breakfast for lunch and again - they didn't do breakfast at lunch (but, like most places) did not have this indicated on their menu. Two of us ordered the 5-spice Ban Mi sandwich, one got the egg salad and another the grilled cheese with bacon. I also had ordered a 1/2 order of fruit salad because it sounded different. Pretty disappointing. The ban mi sandwiches were tasty and large portions - but nothing that I think I will be craving anytime soon for $9. The co-worker who got the egg salad said it was just plain egg salad and didn't have any "tang" to the dressing that the menu indicated. Then my co-worker who got the grilled cheese said it was just okay but had a weird sweetness to it. And they forgot the bacon (which they promptly put on it when she let them know). My half fruit salad was pretty sad - the menu said it would have lime juice, creme freche (sp?) and honey - all of which were completely missing. And the fruit was un-flavorful white colored strawberries, small pieces of pineapple and blueberries. Thought about trying to get my money back but would have been too much of a hastle. Also, watching the staff - one of my co-workers used to work at Sam Fox restaurants - she made the comment that they all seemed to be new to the food service industry. They definitely need more training. Our conclusion: They weren't ready to open yet and needed to spend time "working out the kinks." I might try it again in several months and if so I'll update my review. But, definitely wouldn't recommend spending your money here until they work out some issues! Other notes: The design is very nice and the florist shop inside is amazing. But with its high price points and certain style I wonder how long it will last.... The two stars are for the decor/design, the yummy sweet potato chips and spicy pickled cucumbers that came with our sandwiches.

  • Tucker B.

    I would give the food 5 stars, but the service just isn't up to speed yet. It just opened this week and I think they are still working out the kinks, but the food is delicious... Hands down probably the best oatmeal I have ever had. The restaurant itself is decorated brilliantly and gives off the hip vibe that the Arcadia residents drool over. Given that the intersection at 44th St. and Camelback is one of the most trafficked areas in Phoenix I think this place has a good shot at doing well. I will stop back by and review my post after the next experience.

  • Kim V.

    I work next door to Chestnut and would walk there for coffee/lunch from time to time, the food is average and no complaints on the food. The coffee service on the other hand... not the best. I've waited over 20 minutes for coffee on more than one occasion, I didn't mind so much because I work so close and it would have been the same amount of time if I were to drive else where for coffee. What really irked me was today, I walked over there for a coffee at 2:00pm and the girl working the coffee stations refused to make me anything because they closed at 2pm. When I last looked, they closed at 4pm. I would have been okay with it, but the cashier was extremely rude towards me and there was someone ahead of me and she took her order, but not mine. I understand hours of operations may change, but if she was polite about it, I would have been a little more understanding.

    The s'more galore is awesome ( best thing ever) . The l'lumberjack is very healthy and sweet ( I would recommend getting the waffles) . For adults I would get kale bowl or the fruit granola thing. The seating outside is very clean and nice. Chestnut has very good service . Nice and clean inside. Very cute little accessories and little cute kits.

    I read some of the mixed reviews and felt compelled to write a good one because my experience has always been good here. I usually stop by in the morning and the service has always been fast and friendly. I'm usually just getting coffee and working on my laptop, someone always stops by and offers to refill my coffee and it's never super crowded in the morning. So far so good!

    Did nothing for us. Very limited healthy but expensive menu. The chicken salad sandwich was very average but the sweet potato chips and ice tea were good. The lobster cob salad was just average as well.

    My friend and I went to Chestnut for the first time today for lunch and I think it has great potential. Since it's in Arcadia, parking is a challenge of course, but there is a valet option. The atmosphere is lively and bright. You order at the counter and then you are given a number and your food is brought to you at your table. We sat outside which was nice but a little noisy since you're facing Camelback. I had the lobster roll which is wonderful! As another reviewer mentioned, it is not the typical mayo-based lobster roll. There is a wonderful spicy remoulade which doesn't overpower the lobster and it's on a very good toasty baguette. The prickly pear iced tea is also very good. My friend had the Ficelles which is the prosciutto and brie sandwich and she said it was "just ok". We both agreed that the best part of the experience were the chocolate chip cookies, don't leave without indulging in one (or more) of those. I'll definitely be back to try some other items and to get more cookies!

    We stopped in for a quick snack mid day. I have been meaning to try. Had a great cold brewed coffee with lavender honey. My friend enjoyed a salad. It's not terribly big, and i can see it being crowded if you came with a party of more than 2 people around lunch. I will def stop in again, there were more than 5 things I wanted to try. The staff was friendly and accommodating... Lots of samples to taste on the counter too!

    We visited for brunch recently and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I had the banana pancakes which were delicious. It's important to note that these are a gluten free and healthful option and therefore are not the standard fluffy white pancakes you'll get elsewhere (although they have those too). They are more akin to a whole grain banana bread than a pancake. A couple in our order were slightly too brown on one side but the others just right. Other dishes ordered at our table were good too, with the eggs coming out cooked as requested, and the sandwiches are a good choice too, particularly the Ban Mi. Where to order is still slightly confusing, and depending on who's at the register you get a warm, friendly, smile or an apathetic stare, but that's probably the case at most casual restaurants on a Sunday morning.

    Great location and good atmosphere, but over priced and the food is nothing special at all. The salads looked ok, but the sandwiches are boring - I even had to asked for some kind of dressing for my turkey sandwich after they brought it out dry. I would've rather made lunch at home.

    Second time I have been there. Takes forever to order. Then it takes even longer to get your food! 45 minutes for a waffle! They say grab and go. Not so much Probably won't go back

    My best friend and I had brunch at Chestnut yesterday. We automatically fell in love with the open space and ambience. It definitely has an east coast feel to it. I had the breakfast bowl with quinoa, poached eggs, kale, and chili sauce ... it was delicious and had a nice spicy kick to it! My friend had the waffles, which looked amazing and yup they tasted amazing as well! I am not big on coffee but they serve Cartel coffee and teas. Their menu looks like a nice change from your typical breakfast/lunch spots. The staff was very friendly and helpful. As many of you mentioned, this is a new place ... I would suggest for you to grab a menu as soon as you walk in (next to cashier) as that will make it less confusing. I have high hopes for Chestnut and will definitely visit again soon!

    Had the five spice banh mi today. My chicken was RAW. I asked to speak to a manager and was refunded for that purchase, but he seemed unconcerned and neglected to offer anything else. I love the coffee and the concept but the kitchen seriously needs work.

    I'm not sure if this is the same as the old chestnut lane across the street or not but the old one had these awesome chocolate chip cookies and they are trying to make the same one and I have had them twice and they are not the same, sad for me. I will still probably try them again though as I dream of the old ones sometime when i am craving some cookie action. Went in here a few times just seems a little strange, did look over to the right and noticed food all over the floor in the kitchen which seemed strange for such a place. Saw a tasty looking loaf of coffee cake on the counter with no price marked, lady at the counter said embarrassingly, 32.00 dollars, and I put the cake back on the counter. Never heard of such a thing. We also got some muffins that seems like they needed help like the cookies.

    Saw the not so great reviews so I stayed away with so many other great choices nearby. That was a MISTAKE. Not sure what they've done of late but everything I've ordered is great starting with the house made pastries to the egg breakfast. The staff is so helpful and nice. The atmosphere is darling and I go at least once a week!!

    Long wait to order. Confusing set up with two entrances. Out of ricotta waffles on a Saturday morning??? Ordered banana pancakes instead and was told only after we sat down and had been waiting over ten minutes that there would be a longer wait since they've ran out of pancake batter. 30 min later they brought them out! I normally would have just cancelled the order but I hadn't tried the restaurant out yet and was curious. When they appeared, there were two small pancakes. $8 for two small pancakes and some bacon. Lame. They could have apologized or say hey, pancakes are on us but it didn't appear they we're phased by keeping a customer waiting 40 minutes and not apologize? The food over all was good but not worth the wait. Coffee isn't that great. My friend and I thought it tasted sweet and odd.

    So this place is great. Great location, nice clean decor, no waiter service (which is ok I guess). So far my favorite items off the menu are the Lemon Ricotta Waffles and the Winter Grain Salad. I would say stay away from the pancakes (a little too healthy for me, so flavor was lacking). I tried the Bahn Mi which was ok. My friend had the egg salad sandwhich which I tasted and it was pretty good for egg salad (not my favorite thing), it wasn't too heavy on the mayo or the mustard.

    We just stopped by for a cup of coffee. To my disappointment two cups if coffee were 8.19. I thought that might be a decent price for a pour over but the girl walked over to a thermos and poured our coffee. It's disappointing to pay four dollars for a cup of coffee that you don't know when it was made. The place is cute but I can't see it topping LGO, it doesn't make sense to pay those prices when there are so many other great options close within reach. I gave two stars because the service was friendly.

    I had high hopes for this new eatery. Those hopes were dashed today. First, the parking lot and parking are a pain in the butt. I struggled through that because I wanted to try the place. The menu is pretty lean, but decent options. You order and then go sit and wait for your food to be delivered to your table. Food came out quickly. I had their version of a club sandwich. The turkey abs bacon were good. The bread was a bird's delight, but too seedy for me. The tomatoes were blah. It was served with house made sweet potato chips. They were oily and most were not crisp. I also received a small cup of cut cucumber in vinegar. Hmm? Traffic noise is intense and not a place you want to have a semi private conversion as you have to talk loudly to hear each other. In fact, I thought about typing this in all caps so you could hear me over the traffic roar. All in all, I would suggest going to one of the other nearby eateries. There are many options that have better food, easy access and a pleasant atmosphere.

    Chestnut just doesn't care. Being the new kid on the block and set in a gorgeous location, Chestnut doesn't have to work hard. And it shows. My friend and I were excited to go to the hot new spot and left super disappointed. Read about our ordeal here: nickialanoche.com/2014/0…

    Bummed that I didn't have a good first impression. Ordered the Bahn? Chicken sandwich. The chicken was super dry and tasteless. The roll is a plain white sub roll. Not even a good one. May give it another shot. The salads looked good. It is pricey too.

    The Arcadia neighborhood needed some new brunch spots, and Chestnut has claimed a prominent spot in my brunch & coffee neighborhood rotation (disclaimer: I am not a fan of The Henry due to dismal service and lackluster food). It is also a great place for casual working breakfasts/lunches with colleagues. Fantastic coffee (coffee beans supplied by Cartel, which is rare to find in this area), with the Honey Lavender Latte rating as my favorite coffee beverage in the neighborhood these days. Manny, the primary barista, is very friendly and talkative - and makes delicious coffees. The juices are also great, I have been ordering the Bruce Lee (with Cayenne pepper) a lot recently to help fend off the cold and flu that has been circulating in the Valley. The food is delicious, with interesting new renditions of old classics and fantastic innovations, adding a spicy asian twist to some dishes. The names of the dishes are also very fun. I usually order brunch regardless of the time of day -- the waffles and pancakes are both terrific, and the Sandi with Bacon is always a go to item for a savory brunch craving. And if you see the strawberry muffins, definitely try one. They don't appear daily and they are delicious. For lunch, the lobster roll is fantastic. Two sisters own the place and are frequently seen walking around, saying hi to their customers. They are very nice and always greet me and my friends that I bring here. They did a fantastic job with the design, the place is very bright and airy with warm colors and inviting decor. It is a great place to have a few coffees and work at the bar for a few hours. Regarding some of the negative comments -- are there issues that can yield problematic dining experiences? Yes there can be. It is still a new place working out the kinks and service sometimes suffers as a result. While it has never happened to me personally, I have seen it happen to other diners around me. However in my experience the staff always works to rectify errors if you explain the problem and give them the chance. They will be opening happy hour in the next few weeks and I look forward to seeing their wine list and drink concoctions when they debut!

    Very average. Seemed disorganized as far as where to order. Waited an exceptionally long time for my latte. Menu not very exciting and little options if you would like to go gluten free. LGO is a better choice for options and atmosphere.

  • Christine B.

    Great food and great service. The baked oatmeal is amazing, has great flavors and is not something I couldn't find anywhere else. The waffles are great too. My only complaint is that they used to squeeze their juice fresh (the Bruce lee is my go to, I stop by at least once a week to pick up) but they have changed it and have the juice pre-squeezed. The best time to drink juice is within 10 minutes, so it loses a lot of the value I am looking for. Won't be stoping by anymore for juice but I'll for sure be back from time to time for food. They used to have great fresh baked goods (yummy banana chips) but they've added Tammy Coe which is a bummer because I can buy that anywhere these days. Overall, great food, great atmosphere, and great service, I tell all my friends to try it!

    A friend of mine took me in for lunch for the first time. The atmosphere is very cute, open and bright, not was what I was expecting from the outside view. Staff was friendly and helpful as soon as we walked in. I ordered the Chestnut Chopped Salad and loved it. The chicken was a little dry but overall a lot of flavor. Look forward to going again!

    I really wanted to like this restaurant and I hope the feedback I provide may help this darling newcomer to my neighborhood improve. Before I begin, I must say that the breakfast was very tasty and the banana pancakes and pecan bars were outstanding! BUT, here's what I observed this morning that can hopefully change in the near future: 1. It's unclear which counter you order from at first. The North entrance from the parking lot gets filled with a long line until one finds they could have slipped around the corner and ordered at the other registers. 2. There's a hanging light fixture impeding the view of the hanging menu at the North entrance. Should be moved to the right. 3. Why on earth do I have to wait 8 minutes after waiting in line to get a simple drip coffee? Drip coffees should be out in the open next to the creams and sugar. Instead, you have to order your coffee at the counter, receive an order number that you place on top of your table and wait for eight minutes for your waiter to give you the coffee. Then, if you want cream you have to get up from the table and go to the counter that has creams and sugars. Very tedious system for a simple cup of Joe. 4. The English muffins on the breakfast dishes aren't toasted - or if they are, only for 5 seconds. Not very good. 5. I ordered the ricotta waffles on a Sunday morning and was told they ran out! That's odd that a place opened for breakfast and lunches would run out of waffle batter on a weekend morning! Wouldn't you stock the kitchen with extra ingredients or have someone run out to a store or call a vendor if you were running low? 6. The place needed an extra pop of color other than the gray and yellow. More green plants or single red tulips in small vases would add more warmth and charm. 7. The Benedict -style pesto eggs and prosciutto dish over English muffins was excellent but I would have loved a little side of hollandaise. The kitchen didn't have any. 8. Bike rack please! There's no place to lock bikes to in the front. Maybe I just didn't see them. I sincerely hope to be delightfully surprised next time I visit the Chestnut, though I don't think I'll be back for a while.

    I had the pancakes with 2 eggs over easy and my wife had the lobster salad. Both were excellent and came out quickly and looking delicious. The patio is nice but the seating inside is comfortable. Even has a community table that gave the place a homey feeling. We can only give this place our highest compliment, "We will be back."

    had breakfast here last weekend and I liked it very much. Coffee was very good (Cartel), food was creative, FAST delivery and hot. poached eggs with prosciutto, fresh arugula and pesto drizzle - YUM. Brian, the chef came out to ask us what we thought and spent a lot of time chatting with us. I hope for a long, bright and successful future for this restaurant!

  • Heather C.

    Unfortunately we were disappointed in Chestnut. We gave them time to work out the kinks of a new spot but no such luck. The food is below mediocre and had no flavor! The waffles were like eating flour and water. They bring each dish out individually which makes it awkward unless you are eating alone. Numerous tables were complaining about the length of time it took to get items (30 minutes for flavorless waffles for us), the taste of the food, and the lack of silverware. When the table next to us told the manager her response was " I trying!" What?!?! Don't waste your time here unless you are going for a coffee and pastry (made outside by Tammy Coe and delightful). Go to Carmels across the street or LGO instead.

    Amazing! It has only been 8 days since they opened, and it is running smooth, friendly and delicious. Bibimbap bowl is so tasty and off the beaten path. We also had the sando and it is tooooo good. Yum. Can't wait to come back.

  • Jamey Z.

    The best new neighborhood restaurant to grab a delicious latte (the honey lavender is AMAZING) or short rib "manwich" with a side of savory sweet potato chips and homemade spicy pickles. (my husbands favorite). While dining, I picked up a beautiful garnet calla lily plant for a friends birthday in the flower shop and a homemade slice of nutella cake. Just what we needed in this area!

  • Cheyenne R.

    When I first walked in I fell in love with the decor. It is clean, fun, trendy and still felt high end. There was only one couple in line in front of us and they let us order first because they could not decide what they wanted to eat. The staff was nice, clean and had a hip vib. We ordered and found a seat easily and our drinks came out right away. I had the Sandi, a breakfast sandwich with honeyed bacon, cheese (I cant remember what type), arugula with an egg. The flavors played off each other well. I think for the type of food being served their price point is spot on. The only thing I did not care for was the coffee, it is probably a great coffee for people who cream and sugar but not for black coffee, in my opinion. Our food arrived in a timely fashion too. There was a steady flow of customers and everyone seemed to be pleased. I plan on trying it out again next time I am in the area.

  • Jennifer P.

    No one greeted me at the door to explain how the place works, but I figured it out. Order first, then sit and they will bring you your food. That's it for customer service. After paying $16 for the lobster Cobb salad I realized they forgot to put the avocado on. There was no one around to help me unless I took the dish back up to the counter and waited in line again. So I ate it without, no biggie. The salad was okay. Not $16 worth, just okay.

    I love this place! It is truly my home away from home. The bimbop bowl is amazing, chicken salad sandwich is a favorite ( and I normally hate chicken salad) and the blt is amazing too! The cookies are to die for and my kids make me stop every time we drive by. I've used them for catering many times and I'm always impressed. Chestnut is an incredible addition to Phoenix and I'm so happy they are here.

    I was so excited to see this open as I was a regular at Chestnut Lane and I live in the neighborhood, so today I decided to visit. First of all, not same owner. So I stayed and ordered a $9.00 egg salad sandwich.........bread a little hard. But the kicker was the $6.00 "Lavender Honey" coffee. I take responsibility of not knowing how much drink was as I looked at the menu board and not the actual menu. When I questioned the cost ..I was told well it is served in a large cup. Yes it is, and I got maybe 6oz watery coffee with pretty foam . If you are going to charge $6.00 for a coffee/latte whatever don't serve it in a 20 oz cup. And I do know it is a 20 oz. cup. I went home with my big cup/tiny drink and brewed a cup with my Keurig..........still tasted watery. I was told 2 different stories about the drink. The owner (I think) offered to refund me my money. I did not take it. I won't be back. You don't need my money or business.....

  • Monica F.

    The owners obviously gave significant thought to the concept and design; unfortunately the food fails to reflect the necessary level of excellence required to compete in this wonderful neighborhood bastion of great restaurants that has been developing in recent years. The grilled cheese was on two thick slices of tasteless bread and the cheese and tomatoes were flat. Most importantly, the grilled cheese was not really even grilled. A good grilled cheese should be beautifully golden and melty and crispy; but this was not the case here, instead it was pasty and lacked flavor. The quinoa salad had very little quinoa; it would be better characterized as an arugula salad with quinoa. A true quinoa salad is a plate of quinoa with mixed dried fruit. We ate a bite or two and left. No one noticed our dissatisfaction and seemed like a bunch of young servers running around like chickens without heads and no front of the house management. Very disappointing and will be surprised if this place makes it with a gem like The Henry, which recently opened across the street.

    Excited about a new breakfast place and had to try. Very disappointed! I had the "Sandi" - the eggs were cold and it was extremely dry with no flavor. Ordered the carrot muffin too (which was never brought to our table - we had to chase it down) which was stale and tasted like cardboard. We were not given water which I would think would be a given. Overall not good and I won't be going back....too bad!

    Great atmosphere and even better food! I love that I can bring my kiddos and they have a space to be creative while I have lunch with friends. It's everything I could want in a neighborhood family-friendly restaurant! The food is health conscious and tasty and I love that they've paired with Cartel coffee--it's truly a one stop shop!

  • jackie r.

    I went there this morning and it was a big mistake not to order from the menu! I'm not into a lot of sweets and the oatmeal is just like the Olive and Ivy's, so thought I'd try something simple like 1 scrambled egg and toast. You'd think there would be a nice plate with a fluffy scrambled egg and crispy toast, no , just two poor plates:one with 2 so so eggs and one with a piece of warm bread. the waiter did ask if I wanted something on the "bread" and I asked for butter, he delivered practically frozen butter. coffee was strong almost bitter. yes, parking is difficult depending on what way you are coming in. ambiance is nice, otherwise there are many other options in the area. and I'm surprised after the big build up in the Arcadia News that the owner isn't answering any of the yelp comments. I should know better: you have to order the specialties, they can't do simple.

    A group of six of us went for brunch today and loved it! Atmosphere is wonderful and food was delicious. I loved the banana bread pancakes and my girlfriend LOVED the lemon ricotta waffles. Also tried the lavender honey iced latte and it was great. The service was friendly and upbeat, food came very fast, and the chef checked on our table multiple times. What a great addition to a wonderful neighborhood, we'll be back!

    So nice to have a restaurant in Arcadia that is bright, beautifully designed and different! The food is fresh, interesting... and healthy. As a vegetarian they offer many choices, including the 5 Spice Banh Mi, which is one of the best sandwiches I have eaten in any city (it is actually spicey!). After living in NY, LA, SF and Miami this place has the feel of a great neighborhood restaurant in one of those cities. The owners are almost always there and the staff is very friendly. Any kinks from just opening have been addressed quickly (lots of new signage, etc) and they really listen to their clients. Great kids menu, too!

    What a fabulous improvement to what was once a sad, empty corner building! Chestnut is bright, modern, yet vintagey and cozy at the same time. The staff is so nice, and the food is delicious. I had the lemon and ricotta waffles, and will definitely be ordering them again. The floral area is beautiful and convenient to grab a quick bouquet and the kids area is a welcome sight for parents who want to be able to go out to eat with their kids. Hoping Chestnut will be around for a long time!

    I have been to Chestnut many times and it gets better and better! Lots of gluten free options (all the salads are GF) and everything I've tried is delicious. I adore the banana bread pancakes -- they are fantastic. The winter quinoa salad is beyond wonderful -- I dream about it. The coffee is incredible -- be sure to try the lavender honey latte. Heaven! Such a fun hangout -- love the atmosphere and the outdoor patio. Chestnut has become a quick favorite -- can't get enough of it!

    I love Chestnut. The chicken salad is pure white meat and not smothered in mayo or added fillers...just pure quality chicken. The green goddess salad is amazing. I ordered it with the noodles heated. The baked oatmeal is delicious-a daily must have. The pastries are baked fresh. My favorites are the chocolate chip cookies and maple oat scones. Well worth the calories! I love the atmosphere and the fact you can order at the counter and not have to wait for a server to take your order. The staff is friendly and willing to please. Chestnut is an added bonus to the Arcadia area.

    We waited in anticipation for Chestnuts to open as we enjoy a great breakfast or lunch out in our neighborhood. We had a guest in town, so we thought we'd give it a shot. We were not prepared for the "order at the counter and scramble to try to get a seat" scenario. There are only about 10 indoor tables. Several patio tables, but too cold to sit outside. We hovered over a table that was about to be vacated. We were seated at least 10 minutes without any gesture for the table to be cleaned so we cleared the table ourselves. We had to flag down a hurried waiter to bring us silverware. No attempt was made to wipe or disinfect the table. We scored the last table near the children's play area. Seems like a good concept for parent's of small children. Two toddlers were placed there to eat their breakfast from the low (filthy) play table. From watching the children eat with their hands and then touching the toys, it seemed like a breeding ground for bacteria. Our 2 lobster rolls and club sandwich came in a timely manner. The lobster rolls which were overly doused with spicy remoulade drowned out any flavor of the lobster. The club sandwich was overly toasted and very bland. A stark contrast from the spiceness of the lobster roll! I asked for a side of mayonnaise just to give it some taste. The maple bacon was the only salvation on the sandwich. The atmosphere of the restaurant is noisy and hurried. Not conducive to a leisurely relaxing breakfast or lunch (especially with customers waiting to snatch the next available table. Sorry to say that we were disappointed and won't be back.

    I was so excited when Chestnut opened as alternative for lunch within walking distance of work. Was still excited when on my first visit I bought scones for the office and they were absolutely amazing, albeit a bit spendy (I think I paid $20 for 6). Not long after that we tried coffee for the office and it was terrible, very strong and bitter, even for the stronger coffee people in the office. Next I tried a Billy Club to go - this was lackluster, the thick bacon was all piled in the middle of the sandwich and was very chewy and overpowering. The sandwich definitely needed more dressing. The sweet potato chips were way overcooked. Today I was short on time and decided to try the egg salad - also disappointing, very bland and dry egg salad with little to no seasoning/dressing, like they just minced hard-boiled eggs and tossed them between bread. At least the chips weren't overcooked, and while they aren't bad, they aren't worth the $9.75 I paid for the sandwich with chips (no drink). I definitely don't care for the pickled cucumbers, they are very vinegar-y and also overpowering, but this may just be my taste. Chestnut is terribly overpriced for the quality of food they are serving, and almost all the items I've ordered are on the low end of their price range.Feels more like they are trying to be a Biltmore Corridor bistro and trying way too hard. Really would not recommend for a "wow" place to go - it's ok if you want overprice but bland food or are desperate for something other than AJ's salad bar or Jack in the Box.
