Thank you for the brunch love, DiningOut Phoenix! 🫶

We're serving brunch aaaaaall weekend long, from 7am - 2pm. See you soon! 🥂

Chef Jennifer Caraway launched The Joy Bus in 2011 to deliver medically tailored meals to cancer patients. The diner she opened a few years later is a 100% nonprofit restaurant supporting that work, and its from-scratch brunch has a devoted local following. 🥞💕
