    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!

    Let me preface this by saying I was not feeling my best when we came here. And that makes me sad cuz I've had this place bookmarked for a while. I feel like I missed out on so much. With that in mind I can say the following. The wait was non existent. Major bonus, because it's quite obvious by the setup outside that this place can build up a substantial wait. Our server was on top of everything. She checked on us several times to see if we were ready to order. Unfortunately we had some business to cover and none of us seemed capable of focusing on making a decision on the menu. The menu is pretty extensive. Several pages of cocktails followed by even more pages of French Toast and the usual suspects. I hope to go back because I really would've liked to try one of the many libations offered, instead of just a glass of water. Our meals were good, nothing we ordered was over the top. Okay, exception to this was the raisin bread toast. That isn't something you find very often in AZ, and it's one of my favorites. I regret to say, my toast was burnt. Guess that's no big deal on this occasion since I wasn't feeling up to par and my appetite was keeping a similar pace. They had recently expanded and it appears they can handled a good rush. So maybe the typical wait isn't so bad. I do think the two (2) restrooms -single seater, unisex, are just not enough for this place. Especially if staff has to use the same facilities. Our server came out of one of the restrooms I was waiting to go in which made me figure customers and staff use same facilities. Overall nice place, good service, extensive menu, fair prices. I do hope to come back here to give them another try.

    We've been talking about trying French Toast Cafe ever since they opened, and when my daughter announced she was craving French toast this morning, it seemed like the perfect excuse to finally visit. From the moment we walked in, the experience was easy and welcoming. We were greeted warmly and invited to sit wherever we liked. Menus, napkins, and utensils were already on the table, which was a nice touch and meant we could start browsing the extensive menu right away. Our server arrived promptly to take our drink order. I enjoyed my usual iced tea, and my daughter was thrilled to find Diet Dr Pepper on the menu--a rare find at many breakfast spots, so bonus points for that! I ordered the Belgian waffle, which was delicious, and paired it with a side of bacon that was cooked perfectly with just the right smoky flavor. My daughter went all in on the stuffed French toast, filled with cream cheese and topped with blackberry syrup. Needless to say, she was one happy customer. One thing that stood out was the menu itself. There are so many options and customization choices that narrowing down what to order was the hardest part of the meal. Everything sounded tempting! Our server was cheerful, attentive, and checked back to make sure everything was just right. Overall, breakfast was solid, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. We'll definitely be back to work our way through more of that menu.

    Blueberry pancake combo
    Vicky E.

    My wife and I were out and decided to go get some lunch and try something new.Dinning room is clean but we were sat in a booth very close to the service station/kitchen. Conversations between workers was a bit loud but we did our best to ignore it. Their menu is very large. It's a bit overwhelming trying to choose. My wife ordered the very berry crepes, and I ordered the blueberry pancake combo (2 eggs & 2 sausage patties) I do not know what our servers name was as she didn't introduce herself and she wasn't wearing a name tag. My breakfast was good. Sausage patties were a bit overcooked. Eggs were a perfect over medium. Pancakes are good . My wife very much enjoyed her crepes. It came with fresh strawberries and a sliced up banana on the side . A couple dollops of whipping cream . Service was fast and pleasant. We will most likely return.

    French toast flight
    Bonnie C.

    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.

    cup of OJ and raspberry iced tea

    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 :)

    So I remember they added onto their Cafe and what a change to the good this place is twice as big as it was before and they were still very very busy. Very happy for the owners food still was good. I had the very berry French toast couple eggs, bacon very good meal check it out. I think you will enjoy it. Very cool inside

    2 Cinnamon French Toast

    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!

    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.

    (Top to bottom) Cinnamon, Nutella, and Bueno French Toasts. Side of eggs and sausage.

    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.

    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

My review went up on 5/21 and by the very next day, 5/22, a regional manager named Jayson responded publicly as the business owner, and left his email. I emailed him that same day, and after I followed up on 5/27 he wrote back, copied the store manager, and asked me to send my phone number and a good time so we could talk it through directly. I did exactly that, same day. That was 5/27. It is now 6/9 and I have not heard a word back. No email, no call, no text. The original incident was 5/10, so we are at 30 days now. This wasn't a stray hair - that's relatively benign and sometimes happens in food prep, not great but harmless. This was a different category of foreign body in food: fragments that looked like they came off equipment, which means whatever produced them is presumably still in use, still capable of doing it again to the next person. This is what made the unresponsiveness frustrating. It's not about my daughter's one açaí bowl, it's about whether the thing that caused it ever got looked at. A simple "we looked at it, can't determine yet what happened, but we'll update you" would have been fine, but I got boilerplate "you deserve better" corporate slop. I didn't want my ego stroked, I wanted them to look into something serious. They are great at moving fast in public: their Yelp! reply was up within a day, right under my review, where everyone can see it. But the private follow-up, the part nobody else is watching, has now gone three weeks radio silent, after they were the ones who asked for my number, but never used it. Fast when it's visible, and crickets when it's not, tells you where the attention really goes. If you're reading this and trying to decide, take a little time with the reviews here, the detailed ones and the thin ones, the recent and the older, and decide for yourselves if there is a pattern or not. I'm done with them, they lost my trust. For the record, their açaí bowls when they don't contain bits of industrial machinery are pretty good, but we'll go to Swami's when we are in Oceanside and will try to find something else in the valley.

The service people were trying to take orders, attending tables, helping customers to pick out pastries, all at the same time. Then they were bringing out food running around, trying to find the right table, and after failing to do so, would bring food back to the kitchen. It was 3 of them, running around, getting all confused. And it was only 1 person in the kitchen??? I've never seen anything like that before. The place gave me anxiety. And it wasn't even busy that day. It was Tuesday morning for crying out loud. I hate to think what's happening there over weekends! My order got completely screwed up. I got charged for two sponge cakes, instead of one. The baguette that they brought to the table 30 min later, was tiny, look like half baguette, when I ordered full baguette so we could split it with my mother. I know what full baguette supposed to look like. When I asked the cashier about that, she told me it was a full-size sandwich. Bullshit. They sure charged me for full size though. Full size baguette doesn't take 4 bites to finish! And coffee comes with the sandwich together. Coffee doesn't come first, it's not a drink! But they brought coffee first. Between coffee and a sandwich it took 20 minutes. The prices are very high for what they offer. They charge full price for half size portions. And the bread was dry and stale. Don't tell me it was today's fresh bread. I would never believe it. I feel like they ripped me off, frankly. So high prices, small portions and the service sucks. We are not going back there. There are lots of breakfast places like that all over town. The competition is overwhelming. No problem.
