The Roasted Cauliflower seriously deserves its own fan club. Smoky and just tender enough, this side dish makes me feel like I made a responsible, healthy life choice. The mild corn salsa is bright and cheerful, though I will admit I treat the red peppers like an unwanted guest and politely pick them out, one by one. Their tortilla chips walk that fine line of perfectly salty, without tipping into regret, while the hummus is smooth and mellow. An efficient staff keeps things moving, but if you're introverted - or just don't want to commit to human interaction - the kiosk has your back. Dine inside, or al fresco, with a few patio tables.

The food was disappointing. Mine was supposed to have peppers and carrots but they were rare finds (see photos of Thai Bowl) as it was mostly hunks of broccoli with stems and cabbage leaves. Bland and unappealing, not cooked well, especially compared to Hawaii Poke, where the broccoli almost melts in your mouth it's so tender- and no stems. I won't be returning here.

The inside of the café, it was super cute. Lots of tables and open space for working or catching up with friends. They had a lot of yummy looking baked goods to choose from. I got the Matcha X Matcha from the 2026 winter menu. It was the perfect amount of sweet but still being able to taste the Matcha, which I really appreciate. I also got a cherry danish that was soo good. And if you tried love to try a flavored Matcha or some of their coffee. After I ordered the drink and pastry came out super quick, which was really exciting. Sometimes small cafés take a while to make drinks, especially Matcha. I will say the barista was nice, but not super friendly or talkative. I might've asked some more questions about the Matcha options, but it didn't seem like she wanted to have a conversation. I get not everybody is super chatty and she was a good barista, but I think being a little bit more outgoing makes a barista great. Overall 10/10 will be coming back if I'm in the area.

I absolutely loved the vibes and here!

So peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect start to our morning! What truly made the experience exceptional was our server, Jenn. She was incredible from start to finish!! She was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. She made great recommendations, checked on us at all the right times, and went above and beyond in ways you don't see often. My husband is picky about biscuits and gravy, and Jenn kindly brought him a sample of the gravy first to make sure he'd like it...such a small gesture to some people, but truly made it special for my husband. She even sent us off with coffee to go, which we really appreciated!! The food was just as impressive. I had the traditional breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were nice and crispy, Jenn recommended the ham, which was so flavorful and perfectly charred, so good!!! My husband ended up loving his biscuits and gravy! Between the amazing service, delicious food, and relaxing riverfront setting, this was easily one of our favorite breakfast experiences. Jenn truly made it memorable, and we'll definitely be asking for her every time we come back. Can't wait to return!!

What a charming cafe in the middle of a charming Downtown area!…read more It was freezing the morning we went in, but I was wanting breakfast - specifically pancakes. I had this place in the bookmarks and figured now was the best time to visit. Parking can be an issues in Downtown St. Charles since it is limited to street parking or public parking a few blocks away. We found parking right in front of FPC, mainly because it was a cold, Monday morning. We were greeted immediately, and inside was much smaller than I expected. We got seated right away though, and a good chance to really review the menu. I got a house coffee (delicious), and my husband got a Purple Haze Lemonade. We ended up getting a kid's pancake with bacon and scrambled eggs, Short Rib Breakfast Stack, and a Bomb Burrito. The pancake for my 2 year old was MASSIVE so it was a good day for him lol. The short rib stack was yummy - hash browns with runny eggs and meat on top. The burrito was also pretty good. Our breakfast entrees came with a side order of potatoes and while it was good, it got saltier over time so I might not get that next time. They advertise beignets, so we might go for that next time and try out their lunch menu!

They are a serious go to for sandwiches, soups, salads. However this pizza is one of my all-time favorites. It is absolutely loaded with veggies. And being the summer all the veggies were so fresh and tasty. They dust it with Parmesan also. But always the best part, they add jalapeños that send this pizza over the top and I highly recommend you try it. If you have not tried it you are truly missing out.

My husband ordered the haystack and added chili to the top. The chili was SO good and made the meals so good. The kitchen sink omelette was the best omelette I've had.. I think ever!

The last time I was in, I decided I needed to try something else. I ordered the 3-egg meat omelet and it was really good.
