    cup of OJ and raspberry iced tea
    Susan H.

    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 :)

    Lives up to the hype! The french toast is as good as it looks. Yummm. We will be back to try other things- to full to attempt today

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Food was amazing and plenty of it. We had the French toast and it was worth the drive! So was the waffle. Highly recommend for the service as well. Friendly and knowledgeable. The food came quickly which was what our hungry stomachs needed.

    Hashbrowns
    Paige G.

    Quick service. Kinder Bueno French toast is a must try. Combo said it came with a meat and eggs but I was able to do hashbrowns instead of the eggs.

    World's best French toast

    More than five stars! The food was amazing, the service was fast and friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. The owner was even walking around talking with guests, which made the experience even better. Definitely coming back!

    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

    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.

    Vegetable Omelette
    Kara C.

    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.

    Amazing food! I absolutely loved everything I ate and my husband had the Ham and Cheese omelet and that was also amazing. *chefs kiss* definitely will be back. Service was also quick and all of the staff are very helpful.

I'd been meaning to try this location after seeing a few of my fellow Yelper friends review this place. Just like they said, this place did not disappoint!

Seasoned well and cooked perfectly to order for both the over easy eggs and medium rare steak.

We arrived for breakfast and the place was packed. Even so, we were seated within a few minutes. Menus were brought for us to peruse. For a starter we both had a large glass of cranberry juice. $3. Emphasis should be on the word large, as in most places you would get a small glass for the same price. Companion ordered the "Fresh Start", which is a big bowl of oatmeal which comes with cranberries, raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, and milk ($6). Companion was unable to finish it all. For myself, I had the Hawaiian omelet which had ham, bacon, pineapple, and mozzarella cheese. While I must admit I have never before had an omelet with these ingredients, it was delicious and big. I could not finish it all. The coffee was bottomless and the service was excellent. Unlike many other places that serve breakfast, we were made to feel truly at home, with friendly people all around. We will be going back again and again, possibly for lunch next time. This is a new favorite place to eat for us. Sanitation was good and food came out quickly. 5 stars.

Had a bite of hubby's French toast and it was the worst I've ever had. If they weren't so busy I probably would have mentioned something to the server but really wasn't in the mood.

Needless to say, we were both impressed. The Camper was absolutely perfect. I would not change a thing. The gravy was just special, and there was so much food, I took some home. My wife's dish was fresh and perfect for what she was looking for. Do consider donating to this worthy cause.

Just 2 minutes from the ALB airport, this spot hits exactly how you need it to hit when you're either coming off a flight or heading into one: easy, classic, no-frills comfort. I went with the corned beef hash + pancakes breakfast, and it delivered that old-school diner energy. The hash was hearty and filling, eggs cooked just right, and the pancakes? Soft, golden, and exactly what you expect--nothing fancy, just solid. But let's be clear... the real reason you come here is the pie. Village Inn doesn't play about their pies, and the banana cream pie is the headline act. Light, creamy, not overly sweet, topped with whipped cream and just enough texture to make every bite feel intentional. For under $20 a pie, it feels like one of those rare "still worth it" moments in today's food scene. Yes--it's a chain. But this location in Albuquerque shows up like it understands the assignment: quick service, consistent quality, and that nostalgic diner comfort that doesn't try too hard.
