    Avocado toast
    Melissa E.

    First this place is super cute and we loved the decor especially the hanging plants. the coffee menu had some excellent choices so we tried both an iced and hot. The toffee crunch coffee was really good not overly sweet and well made. The iced Honey Bunny Latte was good but less successful as it had chunks in it my guess is honey that didn't mix in since it was iced but flavor was still pretty good. For breakfast we got avocado toast and biscuits with gravy with potatoes and side of scrambled egg. Both meals were simple but really the biggest issue was lack of seasoning. The potatoes didn't even have salt or pepper on them. The sausage gravy tasted mostly of yhe roux and the avocado toast was literally avocado, a piece of toast and an over hard egg. The biscuits were good (and very clearly tasted like they were made with bisquick) but there wasn't enough sausage gravy on the plate. Service was friendly but standoffish. I would go back to grab a coffee but probably not for the food.

    We stopped into the Friendly Fox for a quick breakfast/brunch before attending the 2023 Johnny Appleseed Festival in Fort Wayne, and we couldn't have been more impressed with this place. The food was spectacular. I had a breakfast skillet and my wife had quiche, and everything was wonderful, including the coffee. The ambiance is also excellent; this is an old, historic building that exudes class. Service was also excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    What a cute neighborhood cafe! We came here for lunch and weren't disappointed. Service was quick and easy. I ordered the Lemon Scallion salad and substituted hummus for the chicken. My husband had the Italian sandwich, and the bread was super soft. Our friend had the California wrap, which looked really fresh. It was 90 degrees, so we ate inside instead of on the covered patio. Most impressive was the baked good case!

    DO NOT GET THE CHICKEN SALAD WRAP, it will not taste the way you think it will. Other than that, the food is pretty average, it's nothing special.

    I've been wanting to visit this place for 3 years now and just never made the time, but I made the time today. The only complaint I have is very little parking. Other than that, the atmosphere and service were excellent. We were greeted right away, and the staff were friendly and helpful the entire time! It smelled so good as soon as we walked in! I was happy that they had some keto options with salad and humus on their menu! The kale and sausage soup portion was rather small for a man but was delicious. My salad with roasted beet vinaigrette was a nice portion with amazing flavors! Would love to try their breakfast menu someday!

    We are always looking for local places to get wraps/sandwiches and found this great little spot. The inside was really nice, the staff was incredibly friendly (Pun fully intended), and my Southwest Veggie Wrap was light with a ton of flavor! Definitely coming back soon!

    Absolutely love the food & fellowship that come with being at The Friendly Fox! Staff is very smiley, helpful & patient, atmosphere is relaxing yet fulfilling! Seating indoors & outdoors with street parking! So many dessert options to choose from here, as well as vegan friendly food choices! Never a bad experience when I come here!

    Amazing coffee and brunch. If you're going to do brunch on a Saturday, you need to make reservations.

    Favorite neighborhood cafe. Always craving the friendly fox salad. Plus, a nice smoothie, milkshake or baked item isn't bad either ..

Penny Drip was open at 8:30am (blasting incredible music btw), ready to go. I got a vanilla latte (for me) and a pistachio matcha (my partner). Latte was great and the matcha was one of the best matchas I've ever tasted. Syrup was mixed perfectly - subtle matcha taste - everything you love to see. Loved their vibe - will definitely visit again when we're back in FW. Will need to try their vegan breakfast sandwich!

The environment has a slightly industrial feel with just a hint of coziness, which gives it a modern but still comfortable vibe. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel. It was alright -- nothing special, but given the size and volume of the place, I don't necessarily expect everything to be made completely fresh to order. It did the job. The service was also just alright. My interaction with the barista/bartender was brief and unfortunately a bit stale. She wasn't rude, just not particularly warm or memorable. Overall, it's a convenient place with a lot of options, but the experience itself was pretty average.
