Popped over to Fa-me Cafe after an early Sunday morning arrival at the airport and we were able to order and be seated right away. Decided to try the blueberry pancakes and chorizo breakfast wrap and two coffees. Everything tasted delicious, though I did think the food was a bit overpriced. I'm not sure that I would go back to Fa-me Cafe but it had been on my list to try for a while and I'm glad I was finally able to!
I just love this place. I wish it was closer to me but alas it is always a treat. I found out they are moving to 24th st/Camelback in October...so just beware! Their honey lavender latte cannot be beat. I have tried to find one as good as this one at another place and I am always disappointed. Also get a load of that cheese pull on the chorizo burrito. My daughter loved it! I tried to order the eggs Benedict in a Tuesday but it's only available on weekends. Too bad for my taste buds I had to eat a croque madame and holy bananas it was amazing. And also amazing as leftovers the next day. Absolutely delicious. I love this place!
Went to Fa-Me for Sunday brunch with a friend. There was a small line to order, but we were able to grab an outdoor patio table. The setup felt very European small tables, patio chairs, and a cozy, cute atmosphere. The French toast was a bit dry and could have been better, but I really enjoyed my coffee. Overall, a nice spot to sit and catch up, especially if you like outdoor brunch vibes.
the best coffee ever!!! came here on a wednesday for brunch stove around 11 and had super fast service. we ordered coffees (get the carmelita!!!) and Dos and the omelette. super yummy food and they had all the shades down so it was nice and cool. only thing wrong probably was the toast was a little burnt. other than that, it was yummy food, good and friendly staff, and such a chill atmosphere!
Brunch here was good. We arrived last Sunday at noon and it was pretty busy. We found a table as it opened up and the worker quickly came over to clean it up for us. I ordered the ham and cheese omelet, toast, and potatoes. I also ordered a side of French toast to share with the table. The omelet was ok but it was just too plain for me as it was really bland. The potatoes were delicious though and those were seasoned well. The French toast were also pretty good and they were fluffy on the inside. The cashier was friendly and the inside was clean. It has a very homey vibe to it.
Been here twice ! A little pricey but def worth it ! The lavender latte is delicious and pairs well with the chillequilles .
Can confirm: still a cute spot to bring your pup on Central near uptown! We both got coffees and shared the Frenchie Toast. My cold brew coffee was ready immediately, and they forgot his mocha (but grabbed it when they brought our plate). They have updated it since we were here last: there's an outdoor walk up/bar area with stools and a dog bowl for water. When we went, we saw a man with his pet parrot on his shoulder. So this indoor/outdoor patio is still animal friendly! Frenchie Toast was damn good! Would absolutely get it again if we were craving some near Uptown. Only downside to this place is parking is kinda tough. You really either luck out and grab one, or you're going to be stuck having to get back on Central and make a u-turn (and then again) to circle around. This spot is right next to the light rail so it's essentially on a one-way road.
my best friend wanted to come here and i'm so glad we did, we got the chilaquiles, french toast, earl grey tea, hibiscus limeade and the pumpkin spice latte, both food items were a 10/10, so flavorful and perfectly made, i appreciated the chilaquiles being slightly spicy and the salsa they put on them was delicious which i was shocked cause most brunch spots have bland tasting salsa, all the workers i interacted with were nice and welcoming, the set up inside and outside is so cute, the hibiscus limeade wasn't too sweet which is perfect for me and the pumpkin spice latte is by far the best one i've ever had in my life! the prices are reasonable for the quality of food you get, definitely excited to come back!
A vibrant Saturday morning well spent in this restaurant. I loved my Avocado Farro bowl and my friend enjoyed his eggs benedict special. I also got a cup of tea for my couple hours of work. I appreciate the large communal space, which is a large table at the center of the restaurant. While it was a busy day with lots of diners, I somehow was able to focus even more. The WiFi is strong, by the way.
Lovely brunch at Fàme Caffe, an airy neighborhood café serving farm-to-fork fare with French and Mexican flair. They're all about quality ingredients, sourcing locally from farmers and artisans, and creating a space that truly feels like home, and you can taste the care in every bite. I ordered the DOS: two eggs, chicken sausage, Noble toast with strawberry preserves, and rosemary potatoes, perfectly balanced and so comforting. I paired it with an iced matcha tea , which was refreshing and just right for a sunny Phoenix morning. A great spot for relaxed brunch vibes, great cocktails, and thoughtful food (outdoor seating too!). The service was friendly!
This is a super cute spot for brunch or breakfast. Lots of families here and friends catching up. Very fast service. You order at the front and it comes out at your table. The pancake was just ok.. kind of mushy texture but the eggs, bacon and potatoes were great!
Quick service for such a busy brunch spot! Vegan tacos were delicious, but could have used a bit more flavor. High energy spot with lots of tables close together - great for making new friends or eavesdropping LOL
My mom and I came here for breakfast. A new place for us to try. The place is nice and modern. The service is good, not much of service. I mean you go in order your food first, they give you a table number, and they bring the food out to you. If you get drip coffee you go and serve yourself. That coffee (drip coffee) was weak, we didn't really care for it. The food was ok, I got "DOS" plate the potatoes were too big, and I got a pancake and that was too sweet. In other words the presentation was nice but didn't really care for the food. This place seemed good, seemed like a lot of people like it here but not a place for us.

It gets busy here. First order to get a table to sit. Their latte was yummy and it only came in 2 sizes. Get the large; you won't regret it. The breakfast sandwich was really yummy too. It came with a brioche bun... soft and fluffy. Very filling too. They had few table outside in the patio too. Enjoy! Would recommend. read more

This is a good place for brunch. However, I wasn't a fan of ordering first and then having to wait for a table. You order, pay and then wait for a seat. That just doesn't make sense. & Also, there's no waiting area. You just wait outside in the parking lot. So I ordered there special. It's a steak, egg, beans, potato breakfast burrito. & These burritos are HUGE. Like I ate half and I was full already. There was a lot of steak, like a lot. They didn't hold back and I like that. It was all juicy and tender, it wasn't dry. The sauces that the burrito comes with is good, especially combined but I like more heat. Fà-me has their own house made hot sauce, and wow. It was way good, had a nice flavor and a kick to it. So thankful my friend bought me one to go. I did go use the restroom and so I saw the inside. Wasn't too spacious and that meant it made the entire place loud. It wouldn't have been a good place to hold conversation. You wouldn't have been able to hear each other. read more

This is a very well ran restaurant that knows how to deal with a high influx of guest at one time. The flow they got going on here is impressive. The food was really good and fair priced and came out pretty quick. The coffee was good was lacking flavor in my opinion. The employees were prob the down fall of this place not really personable, talked to you like they were trying to get rid of you very little patience. But overall super cute lil spot with good eats. read more

Fast, affordable and delicious. No wait on a Saturday afternoon and was able to sit outside at a table slightly in the sun like we wanted but still mostly shaded. The Croque Monsieur was bomb and cooked to perfection. Hubby had the Parisian Omelette with added sausage that was also super delicious. He said his sangria was AMAZING! Coffee drinks were strong and so so yummy. Located in a plaza with an escape the room and some other cool shops to check out before or after you eat. Will definitely return! read more

It was my first time coming here and I was disappointed the pictures on Yelp made it seem like a great place to eat breakfast. The omelette I didn't even take a picture because it was so small and the plate was bigger than the food. Lol Not worth the price. The French toast was okay nothing special not much flavor either. It was disappointing overall. The only thing I liked was the Hot Honey lavender latte. I wouldn't go back. read more

I stopped here on a recommendation that this was the best cold brew in town. They were right! Great atmosphere and the staff were really friendly. read more
This was our first meal in Arizona in April 2022 and what a great start to our trip! There was plenty of parking in their lot. There was a little bit of a line to order, but it moved quickly and gave us time to debate what to order. We were seated immediately and the food came quickly. I got a grilled cheese with bacon and tomato soup, which was wonderful and my husband loved the steak and egg wrap special. We also got a side of fries and a banana to add extra fuel before heading out to hike. Service was friendly, price was fair, and you can tell it's a popular brunch spot for locals and visitors. The inside feels nice and friendly and the outside has lots of shaded seating and benches to wait for a to-go order. read more

First timer here. My husband is working in phoenix so I came to visit and check out phoenix since it will be our future home this summer. Let me start by saying, I consider myself a chilaquiles connoisseur. They are my favorite breakfast item, and the ones here did not disappoint. I added on the avocado and the chorizo. Even with the chorizo they were not spicy at all but full of flavor. The chorizo is definitely a must to make this plate even better. The tortillas were still crispy when it arrived to my table, which is an important piece to get right with this dish. I brought my one year old son and I here for breakfast and I got a side of fruit and potatoes for him. Both were good, but the pineapple. Wow. So sweet and he loved it! I also ordered an iced carmelito, whichI enjoyed. I loved the cinnamon. Definitely a place to check out. The vibes are cozy and chill, and the staff was great. read more
Cute, rustic breakfast place This is the type of place where you order at the window, then you go and pick your table. The indoor area is large enough to space everyone out, but I wish they had a larger outdoor sitting area. There's a couple of small tables, but that's it. I would recommend checking out this place early because it does get very, very busy for breakfast (weekdays and weekends). Croque Madame with a side salad: - Solid choice, very satisfying - It's everything you want in a breakfast sandwich (bread, melted cheese, ham, and eggs) Paloma (Highly recommend): - Refreshing and boozy - Well balanced, not overly sweet Aperol Spritz (also recommend): Aperol Spritz are usually a hit-or-miss depending where you go BUT this one is definitely one of the tastiest aperol spritz I've had in the valley! All around, you can't go wrong with this establishment. It has great breakfast items and drinks. I wish I lived closer because this place would be my go-to breakfast/ lunch spot. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy at 1PM. I skipped on coffee since it was past noon but everyone else's coffee looked really good. My boyfriend got the french toast while I got the chilaquiles. The french toast portion was pretty big and we both came out pretty full. My chilaquiles didn't have enough cheese on it in my opinion but it was still very delicious. We sat outside and it wasn't loud despite it being very close to the road. I will be coming here again! read more

Before I left Arizona, I decided to get some quick breakfast before I headed back home. God, my one regret was I didn't come here every morning for my stay in Phoenix. Where do u start it's a very modern ambiance where you can be seated inside or outside, you take your order and pay before your seated seat which helps the wait after your done eating. I ordered the chilaquiles with a side of avocado along with a Vegan horchata iced coffee! God lord, the chilaquiles are soft with a very well placed runny that taste fresh and esthetic they look like art you don't want to eat but the taste is well worth the pic before you take! Personally the highlight would have to be the Vegan horchata iced coffee. This coffee for 7 bucks is a steal the taste is more than Vegan it makes you feel like you've never had coffee but better the best coffee that will ever touch your lips you don't get sweetness you don't get the kick of nepresso, you get coffee that's P-E-R-F-E-C-T! read more

Cute little cafe! We noticed it a couple of days before when we went to a nearby bakery so we decided to check it out and we were pleasantly surprised! You order first and they assign you a table, so make sure you don't just walk in. I ordered the breakfast burger and the Muddy Waters drink. The burger was tasty and full of flavor! It doesn't come with a side so I was a little sad, but that's my fault for not reading. I tried my boyfriend's potatoes and they would've been the perfect pairing! The drink was very flavorful and their matcha isn't too sweet. Cute little place and is definitely recommend! read more
Always wary about the highly trafficked, 'trendy' brunch spots with mediocre food. This place is no different. Menu looks fun and exciting but the food fell short... so did my bland latte. I was told the breakfast wrap is the most popular brunch dish, it came sloppily wrapped (there was a big ol' hole in it) and was luke warm.... also found a lil piece of eggshell. Probs won't be back, sowwwy. read more

Let's me stay by saying I stopped here because of the reviews. However the restaurant lacks character and the food is lack luster. I had the breakfast Tacos with country sausage. They used no seasoning in the food and the taco had like a gritty white substance. I ask for cilantro and the waitress pointed me to the micro greens on top. The mimosa was tart. read more
Fame is still great. I had Huevos ranchero which was great, with guacamole, cojita cheese and homemade sauce. I ordered an extra side of roasted potatoes for dipping into the sauce, I highly recommend this addition as the potatoes compliment the egg dish well. Hubby had to have croque madame - which he loves. Fame has not lost a beat since we first tried them 5 years ago. read more

This was my 2nd visit and I 100% understand the hype around this place. The matcha latte was my favorite part of this meal. It was rich, it was smooth, everything you would want in this type of latte. The jam was fresh, fruit was clean, chorizo wrap was filling. Everything left us content and not overly full or feeling bad, which is always a plus. We went on a Sunday morning, and got there before the rush. We still waited in line but it's worth it, and wasn't too bad. read more

Wow this place is delicious!! Nice concept where you walk up to order and pay, then they choose a table for your group to sit at and for them to bring your food. I came on a Friday morning and there was a decent sized line during brunch. I got the croque madame sandwich and it was absolutely delicious!! The inside is stuffed with ham and cheese and it's topped with a fried egg. The spring salad on the side was light and refreshing too! I'll have to try one of their unique coffees next time, the matcha espresso looked good. Delicious food and super friendly service! read more

I loveeeeeee everything about this place from the service, to the coffee, to the food, to the ambience. I always get the chilaquiles or breakfast wrap and it's sooooo good and tasty. Their orange juice is delicious and their coffee is to die for. I always get a vanilla iced latte and it's great. Full of flavor! The service is always a great and the inside is so cute. read more
Came here for breakfast And it was lovely. You place your order at the walk up window which was a little odd, but then they assign you a table and you're good to go! Food came very quickly. I got "dos"- 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, toast and home fries. Companion got smashed avocado toast . The ambiance is cozy and you get your water in a steel cup.My meal was super yummy. The potatoes were the best part! read more

Tasty food with a cute ambiance! You wait to order food at the counter then they seat you while you wait your food. There's a small amount of outdoor seating and a nice indoor area. I had the croque madame which was tasty and quite a good size portion. I'd recommend this place for brunch! read more

This place is pretty darn good! Pretty straightforward menu- not too many bells and whistles (minus specials). But wow do they know how to master their stuff!! The ingredients are so so fresh and simple that you just can't go wrong. I got the bacon grilled cheese with avocado and was THRILLED to see a generous portion of parmesan crisp hanging over the side. My bf got the cheeseburger. I thought it'd be really basic and it just blew me away in it's flavor combos. Tried a bite of a friend's croque Madame and I know what I'm getting next time! We all split a mimosa pitcher and dang is their fresh squeezed OJ good!! Definitely worth the wait during prime Sunday brunch time (11:30). I'll be back to try more for sure! read more

If I could give more stars I would! Love the grilled cheese and soup combo! Literally melts in your mouth. My new favorite place in phoenix!! If you are in the area please stop in. You won't regret it! I even sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful sunny day while dining. Wish we had this place back at home! read more

Everything at Fame is great. In particular are their eggs and their coffee. Their ice coffee has this smoked hickory flavor that I find to die for. Of course you may not like it but I love it. I've been several times and look forward to each time I go. This isn't worth a major ding but their pickle in my sandwich was literally rancid. Since everything else was amazing and the pickle is just an accessory I felt it was okay. Oh yeah, I wish they would have made note that their chicken pesto sandwich is with deli cut sliced chicken but like the pickle it's "no big dill" read more
This was the first place on my list that I wanted to try out after landing in PHX. It definitely delivered and more! The service was quick and the food was delicious! I ordered the breakfast wrap and it was one of the bests that I've ever had!! I also got an iced vegan horchata latte, which was just as tasty. Wish I lived closer! read more
I've been here multiple times and am impressed by the consistency of Fame. I still don't know how to accurately pronounce their name, but that's because my mind is usually too focused on their brioche French toast and veggie scramble to remember to ask. This casual brunch spot has cute wooden decor complete with communal tables and outside seating. Ordering is the first step, after which the cashier providers a number for the servers to bring the food to the right table. Though lunch offerings are also available, I've enjoyed the breakfast and brunch options so much that I rarely deviate. Savory brunch dishes: The veggie scramble with feta is heavenly. There's a generous amount of broccoli and cauliflower that are both cooked until tender but not mushy, and the florets are gently encased in nicely cooked egg. It's seasoned well and cooked with hearty home fries. The classic omelet can be elevated with additional toppings, but just the cheese by itself is also really good. They certainly do not skimp on the cheese, and I've found that the omelet is perfectly cooked through every time -- no runny egg or brunt sides! I've sampled the avocado toast once and while I think it's nicely made, I think it's my least favorite of these three options. It's a bit on the small side and doesn't quite seem as satisfying. Sweet brunch dishes: I adore the brioche French toast here. The bread is more substantial than regular sliced bread, so it holds up to the cooking much better. I believe it's also soaked in orange liqueur, and that hint of citrus along with the maple syrup is delightful. The fresh berries add a nice tartness, and because the toast is brioche, it doesn't soak in the syrup as easily to become mushy. I've also tried the pancakes here, which were good, but the French toast is always my go to. Someday I may try the waffle, but that may only be when the French toast has run out. I always recommend Fame as a nice meetup brunch place for a first date or a friendly gathering. The environment is inviting and cozy, and if nothing else, the brunch food is worth returning for. read more
Went for brunch this Sunday and even though the line was long, it moved fast and I thought the service was also very fast. Food came quicker than I expected. i got the avocado toast which was as basic as you expect but still pretty tasty. My favorite was the vegan horchata latte. I would definitely go again just to get that. The pancakes look good as well so I look forward to coming back again. read more
