    Welcome to a quaint little gem hidden off Fry Road! I've seen this place on Yelp plenty of times but wasn't sure about the food. Honey let me tell you!!!! The pictures ABSOLUTELY do no justice! I ordered the Philly Omelet. Baby you owe it to yourself to try it! You can be a big back and get the half order of waffles with it, but you'll be too full to enjoy anything other than a NAP! The girls were also extremely friendly when I picked up my order. Service with a smile! The only thing that hide my heart was that they didn't sell those onion rings in the side!!!! I'll be back for a dine in experience soon! Save me some onion rings!

    A great breakfast cafe experience. Took a southern omelette to go. Inviting atmosphere with the skyline prints on the walls. Friendly staff. Looking forward to going back and trying some different foods.

    Pancakes

    Such a cute little restaurant and our waitress was so sweet. 10/10 service. I ordered the Country Fried Steak & Eggs.. I was a little nervous because it can be easy to mess up but it was cooked nicely. Not tough at all. Simple and satisfying. My husband ordered pancakes which he devoured so I'll assume they were good too. Definitely recommend stopping by and giving them a try.

    Stuffed French Toast

    This was my second time here. First time, it was pretty busy on a Friday with lots of big parties from the surrounding schools. It was most likely the teachers. I decided to regroup and come back the next week. It's a small place but packs quite a punch. People are very nice here. I went with the stuffed French toast and added a side of bacon. They don't skimp on the bacon like some places. You get four slices. The coffee was nice and strong which is what you want with a nice breakfast. The French toast was delicious. It didn't need syrup obviously as it was sweet enough. The server did recommend some other menu items to try when I visit next time....which I definitely will.

    Was looking for a sit in breakfast and I am so happy we found this place! The food was so good! I got eggs Benedict, my husband got the omelette and we shared waffles with berries. The service was great and friendly and the place looked great. I liked the cafe decor. My only concern is the smell of grease. My clothes smelled so bad after. Not sure if their vents aren't working properly but it was heavy. Other than that food was great and the lady serving was very helpful and friendly.

    Eggs your way

    I found The Early Riser Cafe on instagram. They are located in Katy on N.Fry Rd past West Little York. Augustine was my server and made sure I was well taken care of. I ordered Eggs my way which was over easy eggs, hash browns and nice crispy bacon. I also had coffee and orange juice. The food was prepared very much to my liking, very tasty. I throughly enjoy the meal and service and will definitely come again.

    this was bad never i mean never pee on the floor toilet paper on it oatmeal on the table and waffles oatmeal was not cooked not good at all this was worst meal i have ever had and peaple did not try at all

    Eggs, sausage and potatoes
    Carl S.

    I found Early Riser Cafe after a very brief search of breakfast spots in Katy. After watching a cold soccer game, I wanted a great country style breakfast that was heavy on comfort. This place met my desires offering meals with mini pancakes as an option other than toast. I absolutely loved this offering since I wanted pancakes but wasn't ready to take on the huge size of a regular order. I had scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, and sausage with my mini cakes. The meal was served hot from the griddle straight to the table with no waiting. If you're there with a group, ask for permission to start the meal before them since all of the food doesn't arrive at the same time. There was a lean staff that covered the room without anyone feeling neglected. The restaurant is small so high traffic may create a wait but do because it's well worth it.

    Philly Benedicts
    Ashley C.

    First, this place is cozy and cute Second, the staff was very friendly Now for the food. We ordered eggs way which was eggs, meat, bread option, side. We got two of these. We tried scrambled & over medium Pork sausage was amazing Grits & potatoes- highly recommend the potatoes Along with that we got the Philly Benedict, seriously awesome Stuffed French toast. I don't like sweet breakfasts but i took a bite and was very impressed, even though I'd never order for myself. The one thing i didn't try was the pancakes. My son got chocolate chip and blueberries. Only reason i didn't try was because i was so full from trying everything else!

    We had the Texas Melt sandwiches and shared a side of the breakfast potatoes…read more The sandwiches were very filling, the eggs were light and fluffy which is a huge win in my book. One side order of potatoes was enough for two. They were seasoned and crunchy on the outside while being soft on the inside. Interior is a doughnut shaped setting area around the coffee/juicebar/register. The area behind the bar is almost semi private in atmosphere for those who prefer it. The vibe in here is morning chill, if such a term exists. Service was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the visit and I'll be back.

They serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday until 330. The brunch menu is huge. It is not a super large menu, which I feel very endearing. We decided to try the bagel and lox with cream cheese, the Buzz burger with fries, and their homemade chips. They start off by bringing you this beautiful craft of bottled water. That to me was an amazing bonus. We also ordered two sodas which came in a can. I sort of wish it was a more of a fountain drink than one can of soda for the price. *Now service was super slow. However, the waitress did come and tell us that they are running a little behind and she apologized for it and she was super sweet, so that made up for the weight. How do I known how long it was going to take, I don't know if I would've stayed, but in the end, the food was amazing. The burger was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend is a hamburger snob and he kept saying how good it was how fresh it was and how perfectly cooked it was. They serve you shoestring fries that feel like they're double fried and they were phenomenal. My bagel was toasted perfectly and had a very good amount of cream cheese and lox. As a Jewish girl living in the area that I do, it's very hard to find good bagels with lox and cream cheese. I will most definitely be back for this sooner than later. The homemade chips took quite a while to come out, and at one point I was ready to say we don't need it, but these potato chips beat Buccees beaver chips, 100%. They were super fresh and very crunchy and tasted amazing. I will definitely recommend those to anybody that orders some. My boyfriend then ordered a tropical sunrise smoothie and it was so tasty and tasted like a strawberry banana smoothie. Now once again that did take a long time to come out and at one point, we were wishing we had not ordered it but once we did get it, it was really good and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is not very large and it's the perfect brunch spot for anybody looking for a smaller Cafe with very good choices.

Placed my order and the food came out quickly. The peach cobbler French toast was delicious and layered with flavor. The bread was still firm and not mushy, the microgreens and nuts added flavor and the caramel sauce wasn't too sweet or overpowering. The bacon was smoky and not fatty. The option for a French press for coffee was a nice treat and the addition of the Basil Hayden Bourbon shot was just right. Briana definitely lived up to her name of "The Goat" consistently mixing 2 to 3 drinks at a time while remaining friendly and engaging with her colleagues and customers. Brandon was a joy engaging with the customers at the bar and not missing a beat. Apparently, they have a random assortment of coffee cups and Brandon accurately chose mine. It really made me laugh. If you have a chance to dine here, check out the cool unisex restrooms with the industrial vibe. They are always clean and well stocked.

The tables also had a noticeable smell, almost like a wet rag, but we tried to overlook that. We ordered a hamburger plate with fries, which was good. We also ordered a waffle plate with eggs and bacon, along with a side of hash browns. Unfortunately, the hash browns were bland and appeared to have no seasoning at all. Our waitress appeared to be very young and seemed unsure of what to do at times. I also overheard the table behind me mention that their order was not correct. One of the customers politely asked for sugar-free syrup, but the waitress did not seem to understand what she was asking for. The customer remained polite and simply said it was okay and that she would use what they had brought her. The biggest disappointment for us was the waffle, which was cold and hard. I took one small bite from one of the waffle squares just to taste it, and when I asked if I could get something else instead, they refused because I had already taken a bite. I only took that one bite to determine if the waffle was as hard as it appeared. After the waffle incident, before my mom had even finished eating, the waitress asked if I wanted the check already. I found the timing a little odd and couldn't help but wonder if they were trying to rush us out, although I can't say for sure. I'm giving this experience one star because, while the hamburger and fries were good, the overall experience was disappointing. The dirty coffee cup, unpleasant smell from the tables, unseasoned hash browns, cold and hard waffle, and the way the waffle situation was handled by the staff were too many issues to overlook. Unfortunately, the service and overall experience did not meet my expectations, and I will not be returning.
