    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!

    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!

    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 :)

    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!

    mocktails: blackberry sangria & blood orange
    Susan G.

    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.

    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.

    Breakfast is allways amazing. Service was great. We allways stop here when visiting California

    Eggs, hashbrowns, toast, belgian waffle, country fried steak
    Saya M.

    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.

    Dubai Chocolate French Toast

    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

The interior and outdoor patio is a beautiful space and we opted to sit out there during some nice weather. For a Tuesday night it was surprisingly full, we had a reservation for 6:30 pm and were sat right on time. The service of everyone we interacted with was great. Our server was friendly and did a great job explaining the menu and making suggestions. We ended up splitting a few dishes- the burrata appetizer, octopus picatta piccante, scallop spaghetti, and roasted airline chicken breast with risotto. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The cocktails were also well balanced and very enjoyable. All in all, glad we ventured out to that area of Mesa to enjoy a lovely dinner!

(I did not. I ordered a full breakfast and a waffle like an adult with priorities.) I went around 9:15am on a Wednesday--only a few tables were occupied, and the staff was super friendly, gave great recommendations, and the food came out fast. Inside is dialed in with chandeliers, French-y posters and photos everywhere, and a pastry case with tarts, pastries, and cheesecake that basically dares you to behave. The croissant was the star... fresh, flaky, light, buttery... exactly what you want. The egg was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted into it almost like a mini omelette (loved that). My only hiccup was the "bacon." It leaned more limp pork belly than crispy bacon and had a distinct smoke flavor that wasn't the traditional hardwood/hickory vibe I'm used to. Also... because the cheese and egg are fused together, it's basically impossible to pick the bacon out once it's in there. Next time I'd order it without bacon or ask for it on the side and make it crispy. It came with a side salad, which is not what I expected with breakfast, but it was actually great, fresh spring mix and a delicious dressing with a subtle sweet undertone. There were also hash browns with a crispy exterior and soft, warm interior, exactly the texture you hope for I just wish there were more of them! Because I have no self-control around French cafes, I also ordered the Belgian waffle with fruit and whipped cream. The waffle was warm and tasty, more tender/soft than crispy, and I ended up preferring it to the 'scrape the roof of your mouth' style that most restaurants serve up. The whipped cream tasted freshly whipped and the fruit selection was generous. My only critique: I'd skip the granulated sugar on top. The waffle is sweet enough already, and biting into sugar crystals isn't my favorite texture. For a drink I tried the blueberry lavender matcha. It had crushed blueberries in it, but the matcha flavor was pretty mild and the lavender got lost. I also would've liked a touch more sweetness from the syrup but overall it drank a bit "soft" and subtle. Bottom line... really cool little spot with friendly service, quick food, and a pastry case that will absolutely ruin any plan you had to "just eat light." I'll be back but next time I'm customizing that croissant sandwich and letting the pastries talk me into bad decisions.

Unfortunately, during today's visit, we were told that animals are no longer allowed on the patio and were instead directed to sit on the metal benches in front of the restaurant ...benches that had no table space and clearly were not set up for dining. What made the experience disappointing wasn't necessarily the policy itself, but the way it was handled. As longtime patrons who have supported this restaurant regularly for years to be on a regular basis with staff, the interaction felt dismissive and honestly a little offensive. It was surprising to feel so unwelcome at a place we've consistently supported and recommended to others. I still value this restaurant and appreciate the many good experiences we've had here over the years, which is why this visit was especially disappointing. I hope management takes customer loyalty and consistency of service more seriously moving forward.

On average, you're spending $13-$15 per person, and if you want more, they got sides too. Though please note that I haven't tried their coffee. I saw a couple customers with cold brews or caramel macchiatos chilling while doing work, but please don't skip out. This is a breakfast and lunch place, so if you're in the area, you need to try it. It is fantastic for a reason and could arguably expand with how many people they serve. You can see the hosts, coffee baristas, and the cooks getting work done - that also has to be praised.
