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.
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the fresh, flavorful food, creative coffee and drinks, and friendly, attentive staff. The welcoming atmosphere is also appreciated.

Amazing, I'm from California and this place most definitely hit! Every item on the menu was delicious. Thank you read more
Vegan review: The ambiance in this place is very cute and cozy. Service was quick and fast however I came to specifically try the vegan breakfast tacos because I seen the hype and unfortunately they were underwhelming. Like the ingredients were there but the flavor of everything was bland and the taste missed the mark for me. I understand this place doesn't focus on vegan items so I can see why this was the outcome but I would think they would focus on the flavor since it's the only thing vegan on the menu. maybe not. The salsa was good though. read more

I have been looking for a go-to coffee spot that's great for working, spacious, has delicious food and coffee and here I am... I love this place! They have indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor area is beautiful and there's plenty of space for a party of 1 or 10. The service is speedy and I appreciate that the cashier/server chose a table for me... one that I would have access to a plug. He was also super helpful when suggesting coffee and food options for me. I ordered the honey lavender latte with almond milk. They make their own lavender honey in-house, love that. And I also ordered a chorizo wrap which was perfect! It's filling and thick and every bite has enough meet, egg, cheese, and potato. I'm not a fan of spicy but the salsa was the right amount of heat for someone like me. The coffee? Delicious! I highly recommend this spot and am definitely saving it to my "Favorites in Phoenix" list. read more

I've always wanted to go to Fame as I drove by based on how it looked. Finally I happed to be in the area for some breakfast and OMG I was so rewarded. I ordered pancakes with a side of assuage and a caramel latte. The pancakes were absolutely the best I've had in town, so soft from the inside with the prefect thickness. They're so good that I'll be coming back just for the pancakes alone. The staff was very friendly and provided recommendations when I asked. The atmosphere is cozy with a nice little outdoor seating. Can't wait for my next visit. read more
A very happening spot. It was busy even at 930 am on a Thursday morning. I ordered the Croque Madame that comes so highly recommended on Yelp. I must say it didn't disappoint. The bread had a good crunchy texture without being soggy. It was savory and packed with flavor without being overly salty or oily. The perfectly fried sunnyside egg on top was the crowning jewel and tied the whole dish together. The service was friendly and the coffee was good. My only annoyance was that it was difficult eating the sliced fruit from the small mason jars they are served in. read more
This is a cool little breakfast spot in Phoenix. Fàme Caffe is owned by a Valley couple and they are committed to fresh ingredients and hospitality. They use wooden tables with beautiful decor to establish a feeling of being at home. Outdoor seating is limited, but they do have walkup window you can order from for takeout. Fàme means hungry and they want you to come hungry. They use ingredients from local vendors like Noble Bread. Some popular menu items are the Croque Madame, Parisian Omelet, Grilled Frenchie Toast, Avocado Toast and a Daily Quiche. I tried the Chilaquiles and enjoyed the extra portions of avocado on top. For beverages, Fàme Caffe has a nice list of cocktails, coffee and tea. This is a great spot for weekend brunch. read more

This was our first visit to the café. It will probably be our last. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. I ordered the veggie scramble because my first pick was not an option. Sort of surprising to read gluten-free options are available only to be told that that means that don't order anything that has gluten in it. Scramble had a really nice hair on it though. Breakfast sandwich ordered by my son was extraordinarily dry. The aïoli sauce was scattered all over the bun, which meant that it was absorbed and left the sandwich rather dry. We figured out why substitutions don't work. It seems as though the food is not made there but premade and then microwaved perhaps? read more

Wow! I have heard of this place but never really went because every time I drive by there were crowds lined up outside! It turns out that you que up and order at the window and then you are seated and it's like a regular restaurant experience.... To be fair I am not a fan of ordering at the counter kind of gives me a fast food vibe but they are quite efficient and inside it turns into a regular dining experience where they bring everything to you, coffee and iced tea was amazing on this Sunday morning. FOOD I went with the croque madame which I had not had since Paris years ago, If you don't know think of it as a grilled cheese with meat and an egg! Gruyere and ham on grain bread and topped with the most perfect sunny side up egg I have ever had! Visually perfect and not even overly runny, the salad on the side was very mild it said it had red wine vinaigrette which was subtle (wasn't my favorite part) my partner had the pancakes with fresh banana and really liked it! The prices for the quality I feel is amazing! Friendly staff and I will be back! read more
Vegan reviewer here! Stumbled upon this place on a Saturday morning and saw they had vegan breakfast tacos so I had to give it a shot. My boyfriend ordered an iced horchata latte... delicious! A bit sweet but tasty! We also ordered the vegan breakfast tacos and they were amazing! There are three breakfast tacos on corn tortillas made with avocado cream, black beans, tofu scramble, shredded cabbage and cilantro sprouts served with a side of salsa. Okay, it sounds simple but thats the exact reason they were so good! The salsa tasted homemade, roasted and fresh. I believe for the drink and tacos it was $16. The cashier was friendly and quick to take my order and all the staff was very helpful. The interior is airy and wood themed. They also use paper straws which was nice to see. I'm not really someone who would go out of my way to come to a spot that only had one vegan option but I'd come back here! read more
Don't let the long line discourage you from visiting Fame cafe. It moves fairly quickly and the coffee drinks makes the wait well worth it. After tasting their vegan horchata latte for the first time, I have to say it's probably my second all time favorite coffee drink in the valley. I finished a large size and still wanted more! Inside looks very nice and the service is great! Jazmin took our order and she was fantastic. The breakfast burrito was very delicious and fulfilling. I recommend adding jalapeños if you love spicy. The salsa it comes with on the side tasted mild for me. Breakfast tacos were ok but I'd stick to the wrap next time. Also beware of the daily specials, they might have something better when you get to the front of the line. Just ask so you don't miss out read more
Fàme is the cute, organic, hipster breakfast place that you've always been looking for. Always prepare for a wait because everybody is trying to go to this restaurant too. The seating can get a little confusing and packed because of this but it's well worth it. I got the buttermilk pancakes which I was surprised to see were the size of a UFO! I had an espresso as well which was pretty good but my boyfriend's breakfast burrito was the highlight of the breakfast. Suggestions; vegan tacos, breakfast burrito, and the French toast! read more

The food is amazing-- and great bang for your buck! We always share the mimosa pitcher which comes with these adorable glasses. Coffee is also delicious. Don't let the line worry you-- it goes by quickly. read more
This place has always been busy during weekends, so we went early by 8am. Environment: unique and interesting decors all around. Vintage lightbulbs, egg container ceilings... Food: Monte cristo with sunny-side up egg was savory and crispy. Pork belly wrap was excellent with chewy pork meat. French toast was perfectly matched with fresh sweet strawberries. Service: order in the front and they will assign you a seat upon checkout. The staff were polite and helpful. Parking: not plenty and easily full. Prepare your trip if not live nearby. Location: conveniently located on Central ave, right across st francis xavier parish-- you cannot miss it. Highly recommended. read more

Cute spot for breakfast. Gets busy on the weekends, so suggest arriving early before the line gets too long. Cue forms along the side of the building- it's shaded and has misters to keep ya comfortable. After you order at the window the friendly staff will direct you to a table. Help yourself to water. Food is delivered fast. Cold brew and avocado toast are basic, but a fine way to start the day. read more
We had the breakfast wrap, an iced tea, an Americano to start; devoured that, and then ordered the French Toast. Food: 5/5 Drinks 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5; however, please, please PLEASE...put some rubber feet on the stools outside. There's nothing worse than the screech of chairs being dragged across the patio to buzz-kill a mood / conversation. All the different customers we sat with during our stay realized as soon as they'd done it, because it made such a god-awful noise. Other than that we liked it. read more

Ordered the DOS, 2 eggs 2 slices of bacon & 10 cubes of potatoes. Toasts extra cost. We have been coming to this restaurant & I have given them good reviews. But this time I was disappointed. For the cost of the DOS, it doesn't even include toasts. If you want them it's extra cost. First of all, this is a cafeteria style ; you pay outside & eat inside & the kitchen staff will put down the food on your table. There's not much table service (we did include a 15% tip) & I'm shocked that we have to pay extra for the toasts. How much does 2 slices of toasts cost ? All the breakfast joints we have been always provide free (or extra toasts) in the price !! Can't they just add a dollar on the price so that toasts are included? I just hate nowadays restaurants all try to nickel & dime us. We will now go to restaurants that will include toasts !! read more
I have met people many times over the years at Fàme. Every time I go I am delighted in my experience. I generally never know what to order so I lean on the staff to let me know what I want based on what I am feeling. The last time I went there was for an Az Asian Chamber Inc staff meeting. We all tried something different and our choices directly represented our personalities. I have the tofu and turmeric tacos. Wow, it was delicious and seemed very much like scrambled eggs. The corn tortilla was standard but the veggies and black beans were fresh and popped with flavor. I love breakfasts tacos. These joined my list of delicious tacos. I have attached what some of the others ordered also. I would have enjoyed any of these selections. Thanks for always being awesome Fame! read more
The place is pretty and quaint. Coming in, it was very crowded so that's always a good thing. Their menu is pretty extensive with a lot of interesting options so it took me a minute to decide but despite the business, the attendant up front was helpful with her recommendations. The place is like a sandwich and brunch restaurant so I decided to go with one of their sandwiches that seemed real good. Though the prices can be slightly up there, it was good meal. I'm not from the area but I would stop by again if were. read more

Fàme is a great place to go for brunch! The space is fairly small though so go early or during the week if you are planning on dining in! There is a nice variety of food options for many dietary restrictions. The service is counter style so order outside at the window and they will give you a table number and deliver your food. read more

We love Fame! We came on a Friday morning and there was 0 wait. We ordered at the counter right away, got seated at our assigned table, and received our food and drinks within 15 minutes! The food was very delicious and filling. The restaurant is pretty small but still comfortable and such cute decorations! Staff was friendly. We always recommend Fame to our friends and family read more

Fàme Caffe has been a go-to spot for my family and I whenever in the Phoenix area. Recently, we went out of our way to stay in Phoenix just to stop for breakfast in the morning! Their menu accommodates a wide variety of preferences and diets, making it the perfect place to bring the whole family. Their fast casual business model allows for convenience and no need for reservations. Although the line can get long, the employees do a great job of helping find seating and it's always worth the wait. We've tried a variety of menu items here, and not one has disappointed. The food comes out hot and in a timely manner every time. Lastly, their apple juice is to die for. I've never felt the need to order apple juice at a restaurant, but theirs is special. We look forward to our next time in the Phoenix area because we know we will be dining here again! read more
Our last meal in Phoenix and it was a good one! Trusty Yelp led us to Fame Caffe because I was seduced by the pictures of their croque madame. It was a Friday morning, but still pretty full! Short line to order, friendly staff, can't complain. We shared the croque madame and breakfast sandwich. Loved the croque madame! Asked for the egg to be a little more cooked, generous size, full of ham, gruyere and delicious toasted bread. Also came with a side of greens, which was greatly appreciated to cut the richness. The breakfast sandwich was a good price and also pretty yummy, it went really well with the Fame Caffe hot sauce. Plenty of parking, clean bathrooms, and delicious food. read more

I have been here many times before and after COVId closures. This is a great option with outside sitting and well socially distance options. They have lines for ordering and picking up, a tent for people standing under the sun, and will give you extra items / salsa in individual containers to avoid everyone handling the salsa bottles. Many amazing things about this place: The food tastes good, or at least every single special they have in their menu, I always get them. They have options for the more regular "breakfast" eaters with pancakes, fruit, eggs Benedict etc. I go for the new/special of the day. Which is amazing, because the chef is always there making sure the dishes, not only the specials, come out to perfection. So quality control as it's finest with affordability. Once I thought my order got confused/vs O was confused. However, it took 1 minute for the chef himself to come to my table and apologize that they served me the wrong dish, he immediately changed it and offered me an apology (things you rarely see nowadays), he took ownership of the mistake. Now, the drinks! Wide variety, very good bloody Mary, has other mimosa options as well. Has an expresó machine and regular coffee. You can purchase fresh squeezed orange juice and other type of squeezed juices. Their hot sauce, their recipe, it's amazing. I have to go there and buy myself a bottle to take home, because you heard it well, they sell them!! Service is great and even if you forgot to order something and you sat and ate already, you don't have to make a line again, they understand my mistakes and ring the new item to the table. Great food, amazing service and ownership, clean and well organized. One of my favorite breakfast/lunch places in Phx. read more

Fàme checks off so many of my boxes when it comes to great restaurants. Don't be discouraged by the line outside! Once you order, your food/drink is ready really quickly! 1. Great food! And it's not the typical things you'd see at any other brunch place. Highly recommend the Parisian omelet! 2. Great drinks, too! Looove their Bloody Mary. If alcohol isn't what you're looking for, they have a ton of coffee options as well! 3. Friendly & honestly just cool staff. They're always so personable & genuine. 4. The place just has an awesome aesthetic. For those of you who want ~vibes~ when you go out to eat, this is a great option. Love ya, Fàme! read more
