The Phoenix Public Market Café is a casual urban hangout offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They serve fresh market cuisine crafted with seasonal ingredients, many sourced directly from the adjacent farmer’s market. They provide the downtown Phoenix community with a gathering place to enjoy a meal in a casual dining room, a cup of coffee on the patio, or glass of local wine at their bar.
Created by the team responsible for St. Francis restaurant, the Phoenix Public Market Café is a natural extension of the Market’s efforts to bring the local food community closer together. A simple, health-focused menu includes hearty sandwiches on house-baked bread, crisp salads, fresh-baked pastries, and slow-cooked meats hot off the wood-roasted rotisserie. They incorporate local ingredients as often as possible, and offer a small retail section of local items.
