Handsome lil spot! I definitely enjoyed the ambiance & decor. We had rezzies for noon on a Saturday, which was a very good idea because the place was hoppin'. We were welcomed with a friendly smile. We explained that the other half of our party was on their way & the host promptly prepared our table... mostly. There were small plates set for each of us, but only one roll-up/napkin (for 4) & no drink menu. Minor details, but it kinda set the tone for the service experience. Now listen... the spot itself is cute. Once we actually got service, our waiter was cool. It just took forevvverrrrr & I ended up having to request cutlery after food was served. To be fair, it was busy, but there also seemed to be plenty of wait staff, so I'm not exactly sure where the disconnect was. Food-wise: the spinach artichoke dip was definitely the table favorite. My caprese panini was ok, it was sadly lacking pesto which feels a little criminal for a caprese situation. Our friends loved the fancy French toast & I was absolutely there for the prickly pear mimosas The entire brunch honestly felt like it was one dropped plate away from becoming a sitcom episode. One poor new waiter dropped a plate on the floor, then later knocked glasses off the rack above the bar & shattered a couple right next to guests sitting there. I genuinely felt bad for him because you could tell he was having a rough shift. That said, I really appreciated that they acknowledged the long wait & gave us a discount without us having to ask. That kind of accountability goes a long way. Overall, I'd still go back & give them another try because the atmosphere was fun, the vibe was there, and I can see the potential. Every restaurant has an off day -- especially during a busy brunch rush. read more

My friend and I were meeting for a catch up breakfast and we love trying new spots! Found this on google and saw great reviews so decided to give it a shot! The indoor and outdoor space is actually super cute! Very clean and good vibes! When I got in for my reservation, I was greeted right away and I requested an outdoor booth which we got and was super cute! We got sangrias but it was too strong with whatever liquor they put in there but it wasn't noted in the menu. I asked but the server wasn't sure either. Will probably go again and try something else for drinks other than that. The food was good though. We ordered the breakfast and French toast. Both came quickly and was yummy but I was disappointed that I wasn't asked if I wanted the turkey sausage or duck bacon so I forgot to even ask for the duck bacon and I wanted the sandwich specifically to try that. Maybe next time. I would have given this a 5 stars if the server was able to advice on what was in the sangria and also reminded me of the meat choice for the breakfast but still all in all a great experience. read more

Went here for lunch with a friend. My lavendar martini was light and refreshing. Service was good despite the place being pretty full and only having one server--still reasonably quick and friendly. It's a very cute little cafe and the mushroom tartine was amazing. They were all good but the mushroom was definitely on another level. read more

This restaurant looks really nice. It looked like a nice place to hang out after work or on the weekend. I need to come back to try dining in. I got a take out and the food is amazing. The crepe with fried chicken and gravy are delicious. The fried egg with running yoke on top is the best complement to the flavors of all other ingredients in this dish. The crepe is big but I could not stop enjoying it. read more

Excellent food! I came here for breakfast with a girlfriend and the food was delicious. I had a hot cookie dough latte. Loved it!

My wife and I found this little bistro during an overnight in Tempe and, Wow what a pleasant surprise!

Foch Café & Bistro - Breakfast bowl - New American Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Let's start with the food: 5/5. I got the breakfast bowl and it was hands down the best breakfast bowl I've ever had. It had duck bacon (was curious about this bc I'm not a fan of duck), turkey sausage, black beans, quinoa, egg, spinach and more. Somehow that entire medley was perfection when it comes to flavor. Usually bowls can be dry with no sauce, but it was not lacking at all. Staff and service: 5/5 we brought our dog Tom who's a pretty big golden doodle and sometimes can get overly excited when he gets brought outside. But their staff was nice enough to give us a dog bowl with water for him and served his egg on a little to go box plate. It's a little stressful with Tom at times and they made it so much easier. Inside/outside set-up: 5/5. They have a gorgeous inside dining with bar situation. Interior design was super cute for a date and I loved the hanging lamps. Outside had a dog friendly patio and they had cute canopy booths. Overall, we went here on a whim and it's my new favorite spot. read more

We had a great experience at Foch in Tempe. The food was really good, and our server, Mia, was friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of without hovering. We sat on the patio and the florals out there are so pretty--it added a nice, easygoing vibe to the meal. Overall, just a solid, enjoyable evening with good food and great service. We'd definitely go back. read more

First time. Not the last. The decor is minimal, bar-esque, and full of Christmas this time of year. Greeted quickly by the bartender/server on duty. Ordered a turmeric latte, the bartenders second time making it and asked how it was. Little too much cinnamon but totally tasty. Ordered all five of the tartines! Not what I expected. Thin crisp bread with toppings. I don't know why I was expecting "tart"ines, mini tarts I guess. All in all, they were tasty. They also make their own flavored tequilas. May come back for happy hour. Cheers! read more

This place is hidden next to the asu brickyard. And I can't believe I've never been there before! The food was absolutely amazing!

If you get anything here, get the potatoes! They were the best breakfast potatoes I have ever had. They definitely stole the show. All the food did not disappoint.

They have a cute patio and the interior is great, also amazing service! read more

A Hidden Gem Bursting with Passion and Flavor Foch Café in Tempe is hands down the best dining experience we've ever had in the area. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like valued guests--and the experience only got better from there. Chef Tim personally stopped by our table and shared his passion for food, which was both inspiring and heartwarming. It's rare to meet a chef so genuinely invested in the experience of each diner, and his love for his craft shone through in every dish. Our server, Brandon, was absolutely fantastic. His service was friendly, attentive, and seamless from start to finish. He not only made us feel completely at home, but also gave us spot-on food recommendations--each one more delicious than the last. To top it off, he made an exceptional tiramisu martini--creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. It was the perfect cocktail to start our night. As for the food--truly next level. We started with the skewers (steak and chicken)! The skewers came with a sauce and accoutrements that made us audibly say "OMG." Whatever that sauce was, it should be bottled and sold. We ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which was perfectly crisped and bursting with flavor in every bite. The brie burger was juicy and decadent, with a flavor profile that was elevated even further by its unique and delicious English muffin buns. And dessert? The strawberry cheesecake crepe was simply out of this world. Light, luscious, and beautifully balanced, it was easily the best dessert we've had in recent memory. Did I mention the crepe was perfectly cooked and the secret crunch in the crepe! I am still dreaming of this dessert! Foch Café is a true gem. Between Chef Tim's culinary passion and Brandon's impeccable service and recommendations, it was an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. Perfect date night spot! We can't wait to return. read more

This little spot in downtown Tempe by ASU is close to my work and I've been wanting to check it out for sometime now....so I took the shot on Friday. This is a really cool place! Loved the decor inside. Tia was our server and she was amazing!! Super friendly and had a great smile! We got there around 11:30am and could pick between the brunch or dinner/lunch options. Started off with the Fried Pickles (also had red peppers and jalapeños) and came with a side of ranch. I went with the Duck Confit burger based on Tia's recommendation....it was amazing! So glad I went with it. The burger was seasoned and cooked to my liking. Everything was delicious. On a scale of 1 - 10, you gotta hit this place, I know I'll be back for sure! Loved it! read more

Great staff, cute atmosphere and tasty bites! I really like this place! I am going to bring my friends here for HH when I have more time. The music was on point the food didn't take long. I wasn't able to have cocktails because I was doing volunteer work but I cannot wait to take advantage of the happy hour deals. I loved the bruschetta, it is called something different but it was amazing! I love Caesar salads but the dressing had too much of a mayo taste. Not my favorite. The presentation was good. I wish the dressing was more of a dijon, anchovy, garlicky taste. It would have been perfect. The steak skewers were too rare for me. I didn't ask for a replacement but if I were to order these again I would ask for them to be medium rare. They were too rare for me. read more

If you're thinking about trying this place, DO IT! I occasionally will order takeout and have never had an issue with the service or food. I recently got the breakfast sandwiches with turkey sausage and sides of fruit for my family and it was one of the most delicious breakfast's I've had off/near Mill Ave. the portions are great, you can tell everything is made to order and fresh. The fruit included various berries, bananas, apples, and oranges. It was apparent the fruit was cut fresh because there was zero wilting or even browning on the bananas! The potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Additionally we purchased some hot sauce that the gentleman work recommended and WOW! It's like Tapatio but better!!! We already used half the bottle with our breakfast. Customer service was excellent, place was exceptionally clean and the drink fridge was well stocked with great options. Thanks Foch Cafe and Bistro!!! read more

Foch Café & Bistro - Breakfast sandwich with turkey sausage and side of fruit - New American Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

If you haven't discovered Foch Café & Bistro, this is your sign to go. Tucked away in a private little spot near the Brickyard in Tempe, it feels like a hidden gem you're instantly glad you found. From the moment you walk in, you're struck by the décor. Even though you're just minutes from Arizona State University, it feels like you've crossed into another zone entirely. The atmosphere gives you that warm "welcome home" energy -- or maybe even a "be my guest" experience where you feel genuinely cared for. You can dine inside or outside and still feel equally attended to. I tried the golden turmeric drink -- smooth, comforting, and beautifully presented. After exploring the menu (so many awesome choices!), I'm already planning my return visit. The duck wings are at the top of my must-try list. I also have to mention the local artwork, which adds such a soft, thoughtful touch to the space. Even the bathroom was spotless and perfectly aligned with the elevated, welcoming vibe -- I half expected an attendant to appear with a heated cloth napkin! Tim and his team have truly done a beautiful job elevating that area. Foch Café & Bistro isn't just a place to eat -- it's a place to be. read more

Jesus... First of all what do you mean your a brunch spot and you don't have drip coffee?! My mom and I came here for my 30th birthday. We begrudgingly ordered an Americano and Cappuccino which took 30 minutes to come to the table in, get this, paper cups. I'd asked for oatmilk and some raw sugars and was given half-n-half and no sugars! We cancelled our food orders and left. I'm sure the food would've been good but I did find it funny that they're going for this "French inspired" thing to set them apart from the rest of the basic brunch spots around town but like the rest, they still have their meaningless platitudes written in cursive neon on the wall and all surfaces covered in fake vines. Disappointing. read more

Great place had no idea it exists tbh, breakfast food was out of this world really. Coffee was fantastic, sat at the bar new bartender served us and his service was great and he was very nice. Inside was cute and the patio looked very nice with the cabanas (although we sat inside). Rest of staff was very nice as well. read more

The restaurant had a cute vibe, and the patio was a great spot to enjoy the day. It wasn't busy--just our table and a few others inside. The server was friendly, but the food took an unbelievably long time to arrive--around 45 minutes! We were starving by the time it finally came, especially since it was such a slow day didn't know why it took so long. The food was good, but the long wait definitely took away from the overall experience. read more

This was one of the most terrifying experiences I've ever had, and I feel obligated to warn others. my friend and I came here at 11:30am to have lunch, a drink and work on her business. We were here for 4 hours and shared sangria, feeling perfectly fine. We decided to order 1 more drink an hour or so later and within 25 min something happened. I suddenly began to fade to the point of not being able to coordinate movement, became violently ill and severely impaired in a way that was completely inconsistent with the amount of alcohol consumed. I was projectile vomiting in the bathroom, and became unresponsive, and EMS had to be called. I was unable to move, collapsed on the bathroom floor in a full sweat. I lost memory of parts of the evening and had to be physically carried out. Luckily my friend called my husband who had to carry me out as I could not move. I remained extremely sick and disoriented well into the next day. What makes this even more disturbing is that my friend did not consume the same drink and did not experience anything remotely similar. She was 100 % fine... Before posting this, I attempted to contact management directly and left a message about what happened because I wanted to give them the opportunity to address a very serious safety concern privately No one returned my call. I cannot state with certainty what caused this reaction, but I know my body, and this experience was deeply frightening and traumatic. I hope the restaurant takes situations like this seriously moving forward, and I encourage others to remain extremely cautious and aware of their drinks here. read more

This downtown Tempe cafe is a great spot to grab a meal. It is located a bit out of sight, near the roundabout in 6th, just rest of Mill. Parking can be a bit of an issue, but there are garages nearby. We were lucky and found a meter spot on the street on 7th. The decor is light and bright, with lots Edison lights hanging from the ceiling. There is a white leather seating area, perfect for those coffee dates. There is greenery around the bar. I only saw two people working, but it was quiet and it was fine . Our server 2 friendly and helpful, and have some advice on the food We had the fried chicken sandwich, which came with house-made pickles and chipotle aioli. We also had the Mediterranean chicken sandwich with sun dried tomato aioli. Both were served with fantastic fries. We will definitely return to this cafe. It's a breath of fresh air! read more

Pretty disappointing meal. They were out of many things which isn't that big a deal but what they had they didn't execute well. Ordered the ribeye rare, it came out medium and cool.

Pleasant ambiance inside and on patio. Excellent service from the moment we arrived. The mushroom tartine was mouthwateringly delicious. (I thought it'd be a small tart, or kind of like a quiche. But it was a crunchy little crostini covered with toppings.) The red wine poached pear salad was so yummy as well. What an enjoyable, casual, yet special place. read more

Savory crepes! My absolute favorite French breakfast guilty pleasure. Foch Café had a crepe filled with crispy fried chicken (still tender inside!) and topped with a light gravy sauce with some Thai chili peppers for some spice and warmth. The over easy egg was of course the topping to my breakfast "cake" but in this instance, crepe! My husband ordered steak and eggs. The steak was sliced and sitting on top of round potato pillows that looked like scallops. It was an art and have not seen breakfast steak and eggs prepared this way before. It was such a treat! (I stole some bites, so that's how I know..) I ordered a Bloody Mary because the thought of grilled cheese sounded so good! They have grilled cheese sandwiches alone but I wanted to see it on my Bloody Mary. If you are a fan of grilled cheese and tomato soup, you would probably love this combo too. I've had it at other restaurants as well but not as perfectly executed as this! I ordered a chai latte dirty to go. It was really good and offered some sweetness at the end of the meal! The restaurant is warm and welcoming and the service is great. We had just slept in and wanted someplace to find reprieve since we spent a long day at the Innings Festival and still had Day Two left. We were energized and surprised that at 9am, this place wasn't full yet, but by the time we were finished, it started to fill up. read more

I stopped by Foch Café & Bistro with a friend last week and could not have been happier! The restaurant features an inviting industrial open layout with large windows, an experienced and knowledgeable staff, a full bar, and most importantly, incredible food! From breakfast, lunch and dinner, everything on their menu appears to be a unique culinary experience. I ordered their Fried Chicken n' Gravy Crêpe, consisting of crispy fried chicken wrapped in a Crêpe, then topped with turkey sausage gravy, a sunny-side up egg and Jalapeno jam. I also had a side of Duck Bacon. It was all delicious! I love to cook, but when I dine out, I always look for food that I don't make at home. Foch Café offers a wide array of unique culinary offerings, including Duck Confit (Confit Duck, Goat Cheese, Tomato Jam), Steak & Eggs (with red pepper coulis, toast, and side of parmesan herb potatoes), a Foch Grilled Cheese (Caramelized Onion, Four Cheeses, Truffle Aioli, Artisan Sourdough with a Parmesan Crust), and what my friend had - a Caprese Panini (Tomato, Burrata, Balsamic Glaze, Basil Pesto, Arugula) with a seared brussels sprouts salad (she loved them both!) They also feature a variety of entrées including Pastas, seafood, chicken poulet, ribeye steaks and short ribs. Their dessert menu appears extensive as well. Most dishes are reasonably priced in the $14 to $28 range, and they also have a happy hour menu from Wednesday-Saturday 4pm-7pm and all-day Sunday that features both food and $5.00 beer, wine, and well drinks. I look forward to visiting Foch Café again soon to enjoy more of their food! read more

Love this place for a creative and filling plate. They have their own spin on dishes that make them so unique and delicious. For breakfast I shared the beignets with my boyfriend and it was perfect for a little appetizer to start off with. They came warm and with the right amount of powdered sugar, it reminded me of Disney! I also got The Foch crepe which was absolutely amazing. It comes with nutella and fruit, the perfect sized crepe. This place has a great ambience as well with the bar in the center and surrounding seats inside and outside. Definitely a place I love to come to when I want to chat and hang while eating food. Helena was our server and she did great at making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely come and check this place out for breakfast or a late night dinner, 10/10. read more

Finally made it for brunch and Foch does not disappoint. My brother was in from Chicago and I told him we had to go! There was 4 in our party and we tried to get different things to try. My boyfriend got the sausage omlette- this is not a diners omlette, it is a work and taste of art. The chipotle aoli, which face value you think is a hollaindaise sauce, is to die for. The plate needless to say was licked clean. My mother got the breakfast sandwich which too had a tomato aoli- the sauces are everything! My brother and I each got the Power Bennie- which Tim, proprietor & chef extraordinaire, made into a vegan creation! No words to how delicious it was! The service is always hands on. Kait has created the drink menu so you really need to try one of her great liquid concoctions. If you are a foodie, Foch is a must in your list of restaurants.

I have been wanting try this spot for a while and stopped in on Fourth of July after the movies. Parking was not a problem being summer and scorching hot temperatures, but I could see during the school season It might be a little challenging. We split the steak with demi glazed with broccoli and sweet potato side that was super delicious. I most definitely will be ordering this again. Steak was cooked perfectly still thinking about the sweet potato side dish, I could've eaten a double order. Foch Café has a good vibe and excellent quality of food. Great place for a first date or if you have parents in town or just want to treat yourself without breaking the bank. Tim is awesome passionate about food and it shows. So excited to try brunch. Can't wait for the cooler weather to sit out on their fabulous patio. PS I didn't post the menu because they change the menu about every six months to keep it exciting, fresh and new. read more

Food was beautiful and tasty! Service was friendly but so extremely slow. We came Sunday right at opening and sat outside since we brought our fur baby. The patio is pretty and there are misters but they did not seem to be working consistently. We waited 20-30 minutes between drink orders and delivery, food order and delivery, check request...and they were not busy inside so not sure why everything took so long? 2 1/2 hours in all, sweating out on the patio with drinks and waters dry for 15 minutes in between made for an overall not worth it experience. read more

Near Mill Street, this hideaway gem awaits you. If you are on ASU campus, Snooze is a popular place, but there is often a line. We stopped at Foch on our way to Mill Street and we were super happy we did. A very open place with many boozy breakfast drinks as well as well as breakfast menu choices. We ate the Power Benne, which had quinoa and poached eggs with black beans, spinach and sweet potatoes. Its healthy, but importantly is was absolutely delicious. Our coffee and cappuccinos were also good. As this is a hidden gem, there were no crowds so we could enjoy a relaxed meal and morning drink. Our waitress was also fantastic.

I've visited Foch Cafe two times now! Tucked on one of the quieter side streets of downtown Tempe. The inside is bright and airy and boasts a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The first time I just snagged an espresso con panna - the waitress made me fresh whip cream, which I we really above any beyond! Though I didn't need it, the extra attention to detail and wiliness was so kind - Not to mention, it was delicious! The second time around, I sat at the bar for lunch. I had one of their pressed juices and the brie panini with parmesan fries. I enjoyed it all! The fries were the perfect crispiness and thickness and were enjoyed with delicious house ranch. The bread on the panini was out of this world. Though i really enjoyed the sandwich, some arugula or green would have complimented it nicely, but still delish and I'm sure preferential. Two thumbs up on the orange, pineapple, carrot, turmeric and black pepper. The pineapple was a nice addition! On my next visit I plan on trying the duck confit burger - received high recommendations! Lastly, great friendly service both times! Well worth a visit out of your way or in the area! read more
