Phoenix TV anchor Jaime Cerreta shares favorite Glendale activities

🍳 Breakfast: At Blue Corn Café and Bakery, I would get a breakfast quiche, a loaf of scratch-made bread to take home, and maybe a grab-and-go turkey sandwich just because they are delish.

• I've also featured Homage Coffee and Black Sheep Coffee for my "Jaime's Local Love" series.

🍬 Morning activity: You knew this was coming — go say hi to my family at the Cerreta Candy Company!

• Pro tip: Candymakers start early in the day, so I always suggest a morning tour.
• Another pro tip: Call ahead and see when the French Mint line is running. You will see our signature green mints as they are poured, flipped, shaken and chilled into form.
• Though the French Mint is what we are known for, my favorite piece of candy is the same as when I was a kid — the Peanut Butter Pizazz!

🫖 Lunch: The Spicery, in an 1895 home, is iconic. Go have some tea, gaze at the collection of vintage teacups and teapots, and order the chicken salad sandwich — it is so good!

🛍️ Afternoon activity: Let's take a walk! I love to wander through the shops and businesses that surround Murphy Park. Most of them are locally owned and all of them are so unique.

• I featured Lizards for Kids and More on "Local Love." Memory Lane Trinkets and Treasures houses the works of so many Arizona artisans — a great place to shop local! If you like cars, Martin Auto Museum is incredible.

🍕 Dinner: Let's grab a slice at La Piazza al Forno ( my colleague Jared Dillingham's favorite place), then we can wash it down with a waffle cone filled with locally made ice cream at Papa Ed's.

🍻 Evening activity: Before we leave Catlin Court, let's go to Haus Murphy's for a beer and some music, then let's make our way to Westgate for a cigar at Fine Ash Bar and Lounge.
