Over on the east side, Tandem American Eatery is now flipping pancakes and pouring mimosas three days a week at 8864 E. Tanque Verde Rd.
You can catch their brunch menu every Thursday to Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m. However, Tandem will be open on Sunday, May 11 for Mother’s Day for a special brunch from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Tandem’s new brunch menu hits that sweet spot between classic comfort and something a little extra.
The Florentine omelet keeps it cool with wild mushrooms, spinach, Havarti, and a handful of herbs, while the all-American breakfast delivers the goods — two eggs, crispy bacon, toast, and fresh tomatoes. And if you’ve got room, their thick-cut pancakes or croissant French toast are basically dessert in disguise.
Also, there are a few boozy and bubbly on the brunch menu.
The Orange Dreamy Martini is basically a creamsicle for grown-ups, and the Pineapple Poblano Margarita adds a little zip to your morning with its five-spice-covered rim. For the zero-proof crowd, their housemade cream sodas and flavored lemonades bring just as much fun without the buzz.

Brunch Menu (Thursday – Saturday)
“Even if you don’t support us, go somewhere that the money stays in town,” he said. “You don’t have to go to a chain. You can get great food from Tucsonans who are going to live here and raise their families in the community.”
Plans for growth are simmering.
“We’re working on adding a patio,” said Patrick. “We want to find something that’ll fit the concept on the other side of town.”
