What to know

When Tandy Peterson decided to open a chef-driven café in Aztec Park, she set out to create a place that feels like a neighborhood living room with restaurant-quality food. Taking over the former Binkley’s space, Tandy’s keeps a focus on high-quality ingredients, seasonal dishes and hands-on elements like in-house roasting for their Embers drinking chocolate. The result is a welcoming spot for morning coffee, leisurely brunches and grab-and-go lunches that still taste thoughtfully composed. With dinner on the horizon, the café promises to become a full-day destination for Midtown Phoenix.
