Everything went well except for the 45 to 50 minutes. We had to wait to get a table. Would recommend a call in. Food was delicious. Waitresses and waiters were exceptionally nice. Our only problem was that we didn't call in. Now we know. Definitely five stars if you're not considering the long wait. read more

This place looked promising. We were seated and waited 7 minutes before someone noticed us and we asked for menus. The service was mediocre. We had three different servers come up and try to take our order... The food was decent. The place was clean and bright. The highlight was getting offered a free chai latte that the barista had accidentally made. That was delicious. Somehow, it ended up on our bill but they did take it off after we explained. We ordered the Bloody Caesar and honey dew cocktail. Both drinks disappointed. One was too sweet the other did not have enough tomato base. The section we were in was very disorganized and we don't even know who was our server. We would give this place another chance but ask to not be seated in this section. read more

we put our name on list, he took our # and said he'd holler outside. He didn't come outside but we did get A text. The service was okay. The food needs work! Eggs Benedict-eggs way over cooked no runny yoke at all. Bacon burned on sides but middle hardly cooled-maybe check your heat as the over medium eggs had runny whites YUCK! Waitress needs to smile! Coffee weak! Cute inside read more

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! read more

Went in on a weekday around 10:30 am. Not too busy. Got seated right away. Restaurant seemed clean, colorful and fun. Ordered my food right away. I noticed that at least three parties who were seated after me received their food. My server never checked on me. I finally flagged down another server. She let me know that the server who took my order was new and hadn't actually placed the order with the kitchen. She noticed I did not receive my food and said she put the order in. Finally, I received my breakfast after nearly a half hour. On the upside at least it was hot. Eggs were prepared perfectly and were pretty tasty. Sausage links are like Farmer John's sausage- but I like that type of link, so that was good. However, their namesake 'French toast' was dry and not spectacular. I wouldn't get it again. So, if you are looking for a decent breakfast, this place will pass. They have a ton of servers, so I'm guessing that service must be okay as well. If you're looking for spectacular plain ole French toast- without all the available add-ons you may want to look elsewhere. FYI- received an apology for the poor service from the server who noticed I didn't have my food. read more

Average food for an average overall experience. The prices are reasonable for what it is, but it was still a disappointment to hear they use canned corned beef when my wife tried to order it. The restaurant is self-seating, which leads to a bit of disorganization. The place was crowded, and the staff seemed to completely lose track of the tables. After we finished our entire meal and the plates had already been cleared, a different server came over to ask us if we had ordered yet. As for the food, my omelette was good. My wife ordered the biscuits and gravy with chicken fried steak and hashbrowns. The biscuit was dry, and the hashbrowns never came out. When she pointed it out to a server, they said they would get them, but they never did. If I ever do come back, it would probably just be to try the French toast. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 :) 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

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

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

This was our first time in and it was busy for Father's Day. We were on the waitlist and were sat in a very timely fashion. Our waitress, Olivia was patience and genuinely kind. She got us our food quickly. Even though there was a slight hiccup in our experience, she and her manager fixed it faster than I could explain what happened. Wow is this place efficient! The staff are both food runners, waiters and hosts! No one is not moving here. They are all very quick and with constant smiles on their faces. The food was great! Being a French toast snob, I will state that the cooks know what they're doing. The perfect combination of soft and flavorful bread with the crisp edges of the slices. We will definitely be back and hope Olivia will wait on us again!! 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

Just came in on 6/19/26 and we likely won't be back. We've seen such long lines on the weekend and wanted to stop by on a Friday morning. After being seated we got our drinks and then our server just vanished in the back for 10-15 min. We started to just wonder when we'd be able to order food. A few minutes after this wait another woman comes by and says she'll be right with us. Which was a different server from our first. Another 2-3 min go by that woman never came back and finally the guy that was seating people had to take our order. The food was good and came out quick but we didn't know who our main server was the entire meal. I was really tempted to just pay for the drinks and head out had we not got our orders in when we did. It's frustrating to see people that were still sitting outside waiting to be seated, get their food before you. It's also frustrating to see other servers be attentive to other tables while it feels like you exclusively could not get good service. This place seemingly stays busy, which is good for them but they're almost too busy for their own good. The service seems to suffer if they are too busy or if you just get unlucky like us. We've tried other brunch spots that equally stay busy and the service never feels impacted. So for this to be our first trip here, I'm unlikely to come back. read more

Went to French Toast Cafe today. Food was very tasty. We got a French toast flight, club sandwich with fries, chorizo omelet with hash browns, Dubai chocolate crepes, and a grilled ham and cheese. Service was excellent. The decor is fitting and cute for the space. Although I think with a little more imagination they can rearrange and put a few more tables. read more

I'm very sad about this. I came to this spot on my birthday after my parents recommended it for brunch. My husband and I were sat at the table and were not greeted by anyone for 20 minutes. We had to ask for menus. Once a waitress brought us menus and water, there was a wad of hair in my water. At that moment, my husband and I decided to leave. I had high expectations and was very disappointed with the service and the surprise in my water. My appetite was immediately lost and I didn't want to stay to have food made for me if there was hair in my water. Please do better and maybe employees with longer hair should wear buns or nets? Just a suggestion. 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

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

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

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

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

We had such an incredible experience at French Toast. Cody greets you at the door and seats you in this place that is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the customer service from all who worked there was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they truly care about their guests. And the food... WOW. Everything came out hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. You know that feeling when every bite just hits perfectly? That was the entire meal. The quality, presentation, and taste were all 10/10. It's rare to find a spot that delivers both exceptional service and consistently delicious food, but French Toast absolutely nails it. This is definitely going to be one of my go-to places in Mesa--I already can't wait to come back! read more

Excellent!! What can I say? Service, presentation and flavor. The perfect combination of an experience worth having. It's mystery weekend and hubby chose to bring me here for my birthday breakfast. We've never been before as we live in North Phoenix. It was about a 45 min drive. I had the cinnamon French toast. It was delicious and I ordered the Combo to have protein with my meal. Eggs, crispy thick bacon! Fruit and whipped cream. Heaven on a plate. For hubby the steak omelette and home fries. With my fork already trying his meal it was delicious. I loved the finely chopped onions and steak and the eggs had flavor. Nicely done home fries. After the annoyance of my silverware on his plate, he got to enjoy his meal as well. Hey it's my Birthday, don't judge me. Great meal! read more

I was surprised that this cafe was open and located less than three miles from our home, so I decided to treat my wife and visiting daughter and grandson to breakfast. We ordered a platter of three types of French toast that included raspberry white chocolate, cinnamon, and pistachio with fresh sliced strawberries and bananas that we all sampled. I ordered the chorizo omelette with hash browns and sourdough toast. My wife ordered her usual Denver omelette with hash browns and sourdough toast. My daughter selected the Haven omelette with sliced avocados and hash browns and our grandson had a chocolate chip Mickey Mouse pancake and bacon. We all thoroughly enjoyed our selections. Although there was a line outside and the joint was packed, we were seated immediately by the owner. Between the time of our arrival and exit, every server topped off our coffees and stopped by our table to inquire if all of our needs were fulfilled. They were all exceptionally courteous, friendly, efficient, and attentive. The ambiance was very family friendly and cozy. Although there were a lot of customers, we didn't have to raise our voices when speaking to one another. The prices are very reasonable, as our family meal was well under $100, although I left a very large tip. This may be our favorite breakfast restaurant that we've had the pleasure to frequent in the entire east valley, but definitely our favorite in Mesa. So happy that they're local. I highly recommend French Toast Cafe. It's definitely a pleasant surprise. read more
