6/21/25 Late lunch Parking 5/5 Easy peasy today, arrived ~1 pm. Atmosphere 5/5 Covered in prior reviews, clean, fun trendy modern. Service 5/5 Today we had the pleasure of being served by someone new. We had our drink and meal taken promptly. Ordered the mushroom burger, slaw and side of onion rings. Food 5/5 ++ French Toast Resturant never disappoints. Freshly prepared scratch meals are delicious whether from the breakfast, lunch or dinner options! The large burger is served on a nicely toasted bun, with mayo, onion lettuce, pickles and Swiss cheese. I choose the slightly sweet coleslaw and their "Dare-me-Not-to -Eat" crunchy onion rings. Everything was delicious and satisfying. $53.20 includes the tip. Bon Appetit my Friends-SYOY!
Let me preface this by saying I was not feeling my best when we came here. And that makes me sad cuz I've had this place bookmarked for a while. I feel like I missed out on so much. With that in mind I can say the following. The wait was non existent. Major bonus, because it's quite obvious by the setup outside that this place can build up a substantial wait. Our server was on top of everything. She checked on us several times to see if we were ready to order. Unfortunately we had some business to cover and none of us seemed capable of focusing on making a decision on the menu. The menu is pretty extensive. Several pages of cocktails followed by even more pages of French Toast and the usual suspects. I hope to go back because I really would've liked to try one of the many libations offered, instead of just a glass of water. Our meals were good, nothing we ordered was over the top. Okay, exception to this was the raisin bread toast. That isn't something you find very often in AZ, and it's one of my favorites. I regret to say, my toast was burnt. Guess that's no big deal on this occasion since I wasn't feeling up to par and my appetite was keeping a similar pace. They had recently expanded and it appears they can handled a good rush. So maybe the typical wait isn't so bad. I do think the two (2) restrooms -single seater, unisex, are just not enough for this place. Especially if staff has to use the same facilities. Our server came out of one of the restrooms I was waiting to go in which made me figure customers and staff use same facilities. Overall nice place, good service, extensive menu, fair prices. I do hope to come back here to give them another try.
We've been talking about trying French Toast Cafe ever since they opened, and when my daughter announced she was craving French toast this morning, it seemed like the perfect excuse to finally visit. From the moment we walked in, the experience was easy and welcoming. We were greeted warmly and invited to sit wherever we liked. Menus, napkins, and utensils were already on the table, which was a nice touch and meant we could start browsing the extensive menu right away. Our server arrived promptly to take our drink order. I enjoyed my usual iced tea, and my daughter was thrilled to find Diet Dr Pepper on the menu--a rare find at many breakfast spots, so bonus points for that! I ordered the Belgian waffle, which was delicious, and paired it with a side of bacon that was cooked perfectly with just the right smoky flavor. My daughter went all in on the stuffed French toast, filled with cream cheese and topped with blackberry syrup. Needless to say, she was one happy customer. One thing that stood out was the menu itself. There are so many options and customization choices that narrowing down what to order was the hardest part of the meal. Everything sounded tempting! Our server was cheerful, attentive, and checked back to make sure everything was just right. Overall, breakfast was solid, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. We'll definitely be back to work our way through more of that menu.
Great drinks, great food! Very much worth the hype. Lots of french toast flavors to choose from.
My wife and I were out and decided to go get some lunch and try something new.Dinning room is clean but we were sat in a booth very close to the service station/kitchen. Conversations between workers was a bit loud but we did our best to ignore it. Their menu is very large. It's a bit overwhelming trying to choose. My wife ordered the very berry crepes, and I ordered the blueberry pancake combo (2 eggs & 2 sausage patties) I do not know what our servers name was as she didn't introduce herself and she wasn't wearing a name tag. My breakfast was good. Sausage patties were a bit overcooked. Eggs were a perfect over medium. Pancakes are good . My wife very much enjoyed her crepes. It came with fresh strawberries and a sliced up banana on the side . A couple dollops of whipping cream . Service was fast and pleasant. We will most likely return.
Everyone was craving French toast so we tried a variety of items. We ordered the French toast flight. Which we were able to choose three different flavors. We choose pistachio, Nutella and biscoff. The biscoff is a bit thick but it was amazing. It paired really well with the whipped cream, banana and strawberries. They also give a side of syrup, but it's sweet enough already without the syrup. We also tried the country fried steak with an over easy egg. They offer a variety of bread options such as sour dough, white, wheat,etc. we also got some chicken tenders on the side which was surprisingly very juicy and flavor ful. We were told that the chicken tenders were really under rated. Which is true. The staff were super nice and friendly. The came over to check on us here and there. And after we made a bill spill in the table everyone came offering to clean up the spill. They have a pretty wide open dining area. The floors are clean and really tidy. Whenever anyone in our group finished a plate the staff would come and ask may I clear your plate, or anything else. Whenever in Arizona would love to try other items.
Great find again French Toast The French toast was excellent, and the eggs were cooked just right. The only thing that didn't quite hit were the home fries, but everything else made up for it. Service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and very welcoming for a first-time visit. Well worth it. I'll definitely be back.
After seeing all the good reviews for this place, we decided to give it a try during our recent trip to AZ. As I mentioned previously, we've been impressed by the number of places that serve breakfast in the East Valley. We were here on a weekday around 11 a.m., and they were doing a brisk business. I must say, they are well organized in keeping track of customers waiting to be seated. The restaurant is in a strip mall, and there is a roof outside that keeps the sun away and, I imagine, the occasional rain. Plus, there are enough seats for those waiting. We gave the man at the outdoor podium our name and told him there were two of us. We didn't have to wait very long. While they are known for their French toast, we both decided to get an omelet. We both ordered the omelet that had bacon bites, cheese, and tomatoes. This dish also comes with hash browns and one's choice of toast (we both chose sourdough). To drink, I had a raspberry iced tea while my husband had orange juice. Service was on point. Our server was friendly, polite, and efficient. She was also well-versed when it came to the menu. All in all, we are glad we gave them a try. Next time, I think I'll order some French toast :)
So I remember they added onto their Cafe and what a change to the good this place is twice as big as it was before and they were still very very busy. Very happy for the owners food still was good. I had the very berry French toast couple eggs, bacon very good meal check it out. I think you will enjoy it. Very cool inside
When walking up to the place it looks like every other small business cafe with an adorable sign. Once you're inside it blasts you with designs all over the walls with pictures and writings of what's on the menu. I put my son and my name in and within maybe 15 minutes we were seated at a table. My son ordered the French toast and it came out pretty quick. I got the biscuits and gravy with sourdough, it did take a little longer but those biscuits covered in gravy were well worth the wait! Biscuits were moist and buttery and the gravy was perfect definitely a must get if you go. So glad I live right up the road we will be coming here plenty!
Love this place! It because an instant favorite and we love coming back! Staff is friendly, attentive, food is excellent!

I went during saturday breakfast rush at 10am Had to wait 15/20 mins for a table for 2. (Which is normal for the time/day) the food comes in big portions, the wait staff even though floored was kind and attentive enough. The Belgian waffle was good. The eggs, hashbrowns etc was mid, standard taste nothing special nothing wow. If I had to choose between IHOP and here, id choose Ihop for the price and comparison. The only reason to come is to support local business. Over-hyped for breakfast. read more

Finally got to try this place. It was busy but the wait for my grandma and I was just 15-20 mins. Very friendly service and everyone helps out. The food was delicious! I love dubai chocolate so def sweet and am glad they have the banana and strawberries on the side read more
I had seen the sign for this restaurant when passing the parking lot several times and finally came in for breakfast this weekend. Super busy as I would expect on a Sunday morning, so I got on the waitlist on Yelp before heading to the restaurant which is always a plus! The hostess outside greeted us and sat us right away. Our server was great as well getting our order in quick and even helped us out by making the items we ordered into a combo for us to save a little money! The restaurant felt like a modern version of a classic diner, busy, packed, but with a modern menu and decor. We got the French toast flight and got to try the cinnamon, Nutella, and Bueno French toasts and all were amazing! The Bueno tasted exactly like a Kinder Bueno chocolate bar. I'll definitely be back to try their savory breakfast items! read more

3/21/26: Yum-mee! FTC is not in our neighborhood but a friend mentioned it to us so we made the drive from Laveen. Glad we did because it was so effing good. Drinks: we ordered a couple mocktails. The blackberry sangria & blood orange. Both were very good, though the blood orange slightly inched out the blackberry from first place (in my opinion). Food: the pistachio waffle combo & Dubai French toast combo. Both came out hot and were large combos. So unless you eat a lot, be prepared to have leftovers. Size: it's not a very large place so it can get crowded. We were lucky enough to hit a sweet time spot & were seated immediately, but as we dined, there began to be a waiting list. Service: we had at least three people visit our table for drinks, food, clean up, and just general "how is everything?" Parking: plenty of it. read more

1st time here. Crowded but just means its good! Huge portions! You willnot leave hungry. We will be back. read more
I was looking for a new breakfast place and decided to try French Toast Cafe. It was a bit further than I planned on going, but I'm glad I did. I would suggest joining the online wait list or calling to be putting on the wait list. The wait was over an hour. Once we were seated we did not have to wait long for our server to greet us and take our order. We also did not have to wait long for our food. I will say we did have to wait a bit for our iced coffees. I ordered the cinnamon French toast which was so good. My fiance ordered the breakfast quesadilla. The quesadilla was huge. The service was amazing. Everyone made sure we had gotten our order taken and asked if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend this place and can't wait to go back. read more
A strip mall find! Thank you Yelp for finding this cute place and advising me to put my name on the wait list. Five of us for brunch on a Saturday morning. By the time we actually got to the restaurant, we still had a 20 minute wait, but the food was worth it! We had several servers check on us for beverage orders, food order and a good flow of refilling our drinks. The restaurant was packed the entire time we were there and the line to get in was never-ending. Overall, it's a quaint, little breakfast/brunch spot in a strip mall. Very unassuming, but puts out good food. read more

Delicious food and the staff are very kind! They sat us quickly and were quick at getting our drink orders in. Best link sausages I've ever had too! So many options on the menu so I will have to return to try something else. read more
Went here for the first time today so will update review as we revisit, because we will definitely be back! On a Friday around 10am it was super busy, which is always a good sign. We were still seated right away in a booth and order and drinks were taken quickly. They serve breakfast and lunch and they close at 2pm. I also overheard they are expanding the place and making it larger so that is something to look forward to. Will definitely come back! read more
I'd rate it at a 4.5. The food was wonderful and so were the servers. We had issues with getting in. We got to the restaurant at 9:45 for a party of 7. We knew that we'd have a wait being a Saturday morning. We were told 20 minutes when we checked in. That didn't happen...not even close. We checked on our time a couple of times. At the 45 minute mark, the host said that they were putting tables together for us. 15 minutes later, we asked again. We were told again that the tables were being put together, but this time they really were. Our 20 minutes turned into 60 minutes. I know timing can be off...I get that. But don't lie to us about it several tines...be honest with your customers. The serving staff that helped us was great. The food didn't take very long. My son got the Denver omelette, but they forgot the cheese. I had a veggie omelette with modifications. Hubby got the French Toast flight combo. All of our food was really good, but hubby was not a fan of the Dubai Chocolate French toast. We will be back if we're ever back in town! Definitely worth checking it out. read more
We stopped by French Toast Cafe on Saturday morning and it was packed, but the wait wasn't too long to get a table. They offer a traditional menu with french toast, pancakes, waffles, omelettes, etc. and they also have burger/sandwich options for lunch. My husband got the corned beef hash, my son wanted regular French toast with sausage & bacon, and I got the two regular pancakes combo with scrambled eggs & bacon. Everything came out pretty quickly. The pancakes were soft and fluffy, eggs & bacon were as you'd expect. My husband enjoyed his dish as did my son. Portions were large and filling. I'm not sure if they have a kid's menu or not; since they didn't bring a separate menu, I'm thinking not, which is fine. If you have younger kids, with their portion sizes, you definitely could share. Service was good overall, our waitress came by timely to take our order, check in while we were eating, and bringing out our check. If you're close by, then definitely stop in! They have good amount of seating available. read more

We enjoyed the food overall, and the prices felt reasonable. Service was decent. My main issues were with the presentation and the French toast being undercooked. Also, the potatoes served didn't match what was listed on the menu, which was disappointing. We sat at a tiny table and had literally no space for our plates, which wasn't ideal. I kept dropping my utensils and getting food on my arm because we had to Tetris our food. read more
This location has been open for four months, but already drawing in a big crowd both on weekdays and weekends. On Juneteenth, I had the day off and wanted to try a new breakfast place after a medical appointment I had to fast for. If you know me, I love French toast so a cafe specializing in it peaked my interest! I went by myself and was advised to take a seat where I'd like as they weren't that busy; definitely different on weekends so plan accordingly. Greeted to take my drink order very promptly, and very friendly service throughout the meal. The orange juice is fresh-squeezed and delicious! They have a coffee bar to make speciality coffee/espresso drinks, and the mocha latte overall was good. It personally needed more chocolate in my opinion, but still a great pick-me-up. As for the food, the Cinnamon French Toast was amazing! Love the dulce de leche sauce and the texture of the French toast. Love a slightly crunchy surface and it definitely hit the spot! So much that I decided to return with my dad two days later to try the Very Berry French Toast combo with a different potato side. The Very Berry was great as well, and would get either depending on my craving that day. Loved the hashbrowns and the home fries. Overall, enjoyed every food item I tried and my dad enjoyed his Denver Omelette. This is a cozy cafe with great food, service, and atmosphere. Definitely check it out if you are in the area. read more
