The Breadfruit, a cheerful, casual Jamaican restaurant, fits right in with other independent eateries that have cropped up on the sleepy periphery of downtown's bustling core. Owner Dwayne Allen, originally from Jamaica, considers the restaurant an extension of his kitchen at home, which means customers are treated to the same succulent, spicy jerk chicken, fragrant curried tofu, and moist escovitch fish that he's been making for friends all these years. Vegans and health-conscious diners will find plenty of options here, while those with a sweet tooth will love not only the desserts, but also unique imported drinks like Ting (grapefruit soda) and spicy ginger beer.
We kind of can't believe it's already been half a decade since the Jamacian restaurant The Breadfruit opened in downtown Phoenix. See also: - Cheuvront Restaurant in Phoenix to Close at the End of ... More »

Oh, the drama in the Phoenix food scene. Don't lie -- you live for it. So do we. And while there was nothing quite like the Tina's Ethiopian Cafe Debacle of 2011, 2012 did include quite a few over-the... More »
The Breadfruit has consistently great food & is a great option for vegans. The curried tofu is the best tofu I've had at any restaurant, ever. The plantains are pretty tasty also! Highly recommended!
Although the portions are pretty small, the food here is pretty great. Awesome urban dining experience.
You know, we're not sure we've ever seen Grape-Nuts on a menu anywhere, and we're definitely certain we've never eaten them past breakfast time. Who'd have guessed they'd make such a splendid dessert? At The Breadfruit, a bright, cheery Jamaican restaurant that opened downtown earlier this year, a dessert called "Gret's Grapenut Ice Cream and Jell-O" sparked our curiosity, if only for its unusual ingredients. It's quite an ice cream novelty, with Grape-Nuts and raisins stirred into soft Häagen-Dazs vanilla, then scooped into a parfait glass with blobs of cherry Jell-O. Simultaneously creamy, crunchy, and chewy all at once, this sweet and refreshing treat also happens to be the perfect way to cool your taste buds after eating spicy jerk chicken or fiery escovitch fish.
The Valley is a really good place to reinvent yourself, and we know plenty of people here who've found success in a whole new field -- especially in the restaurant industry. Take entrepreneur Dwayne Allen, for instance. Last year, the Jamaican native and longtime Phoenix resident decided to shelve his career in IT and open The Breadfruit on a sleepy corner just beyond the center of downtown. Not only did the cheerful eatery brighten the neighborhood, it brought the welcome addition of... More »
