The servers were lovely & the restaurant was immaculately clean. The food, though, was a huge disappointment. Let me preface this by saying we were starving so we ate most of our breakfast & we didn't say anything to our server. Mom ordered a bowl with scrambled egg. It came with a fried egg. I ordered the avocado toast & it was terrible. The "avocado" appeared to be a pre-made paste with a bitter artificial taste. If we lived in the area we probably wouldn't return. read more

Great place for a casual breakfast or lunch! We were a party of four with varied tastes and everyone left happy. I loved all the gluten free options on the menu. I had a fried chicken salad and subbed salad for tater tots. My friend had the breakfast burrito which was quite large and full of flavor. She took 1/2 home. No fountain drinks. Seattle Soda options were fine. We sat outside and enjoyed the picnic tables and sun shade. The staff were attentive in refilling water, etc. read more

Service was great. The Oly Burger was extremely dry and tasteless. For $18+, I expected a lot more. The French toast was bland and near tasteless. Overall, I felt sad after spending so much. read more

The food's delicious. The egg's benedict had a mild spicy kick, potatoes were seasoned well and crunchy in the best way. Loved the water bottle immediately on the table to access immediate refills. Love the tilting umbrella's outside to help get just the right amount of sun or shade. Apparently bee's are a common issue. One kept trying to enjoy my meal - and the waitresses comment made it clear it's highly common. Server's were kind when they made a point to check on customers, but were not readily available. (Seemed like the kitchen area was the hang out space between tasks- which feels awkward to go to trying to get a servers attention, and there is no hostess.) read more

Frenchie's on 4th - Egg's Benedict - Pancakes Near Me - Olympia, Washington

If you haven't tried this place out, you absolutely must! The vibe is very OLY and service was amazing! Very friendly and easy going. The decor was literally Frenchie's. Cute pictures of Frenchies throughout the restaurant. Plenty of seating outside, we chose inside because it was bit chilly but I'll definitely sit outside when the weather permits. Street parking. Now to the best part! The food was absolutely delicious and the servings are plentiful. I couldn't finish mine. We ordered 2 breakfast bowls and SOB son of a biscuit. We were all very happy with our delicious food. Prices are fair because they give you a hearty portion and offer a togo box. If you like breakfast, I highly recommend. read more

The owner was our server and was super friendly and accommodating. The eggs Benedict were absolutely delicious with the creamed spinach, and eggs were cooked perfectly (too many places over poach the eggs, leaving me disappointed). HUGE, delicious portion for the kids pancakes! Granddaughter was a little disappointed they don't do the "Frenchie" pancakes anymore, but was still happy. read more

Service was lackkkinnggg. I mean from the moment I stepped in, the vibe was unwelcoming. It was Sunday around 1pm. They were at about half capacity. The gentleman who sat us and took our order must have been having an off day, which is allowed. After our 5 year old accidentally spilled hot chocolate I thought he'd throw daggers with his eyes (side note, if a kid is ordering hot chocolate maybe don't fill to the absolute brim then add whipped cream-- one of those cute overfilled mug moments but even an adult with great dexterity it causes a slight spill just ever slightly touching the whipped cream). He did perk up once my daughter handed him the tip. Food was pretty decent; my favorite bite was the homestyle potatoes. Sampled my kids pancakes, fluffy delicious. I ordered the Biscuits and gravy (3 split Biscuits for the full order) and while I committed to this knowing it wasn't traditional (andouille sausage used) it overall just wasn't that great to me. It was incredibly savory herb wise, tasted like Thanksgiving if that makes sense. It wasn't for me. Would probably come back all that said. My mom swears it runs better when the owner is around. I'd like to try their Benedict. There was a very friendly redhead who gave us towels to clean up the hot chocolate. Thanks girl. read more

Frenchie's on 4th - Full platter Biscuits and gravy, side potatoes and kids pancake - Pancakes Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Service was excellent and pleasant, vibe felt local and welcoming. Prices felt fair to high depending on the item Pancakes tasted like a thick funnel cake in a good way Eggs Benedict was perfect and a must get. Flavor and cook were to perfection. Even the spinach had good flavor to it. If you can get it on a biscuit, you should do so. The home fries were delicious as well. You could tell care was put into every aspect of this dish Egg bowl was a miss for me. I wouldn't recommend it unless they re-imagine the dish as a whole. Felt more like an $18, 2 eggs over easy with home fries. I heard there used to be a line around the corner when they sold donuts. Would have loved to try them and hope they add them to the menu. Overall in my opinion, Frenchies is worth coming to and checking out if in the area. read more

Went for brunch last Sunday. Service was spectacular, we had the best waitress. It was easy to find a table - I am from Portland where there's a guaranteed wait for Sunday brunch. There are a lot of gluten free options for your friends, and the coffee was a highlight. I loved the potatoes, eggs were well made, and the tacos. Nice environment, easy to talk. read more

Got the breakfast sandwich with tofu, and avocado and I added cream cheese. The potatoes on the side are the best part. I love supporting local businesses and I'm sure there are people that swear by this place, but I just wasn't too impressed. $25 for a sandwich that lacked flavor and was all one mushy texture. The sourdough bread was good though! No hate ever just was not personally for me. Super cute though and the staff were great! read more

Frenchie's on 4th - Breakfast Sandwich - Pancakes Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Cute little breakfast spot with French Bulldog photos all along the walls. Thankfully there was no wait at all to be seating. I was ecstatic to finally come across a diner that serves orange juice that actually has pulp in it. It was delicious, as was the scrambled eggs, and the breakfast sandwich that included cream cheese and jam. It's all meter street parking here, but free on the weekends. Definitely recommend. read more

Finding a parking spot is the hardest thing to do, but when you do its a pleasant walk to this corner diner/cafe. It's bright purple with the distinct smell of coffee wafting from their open doors. I walked in and there was one very busy waitress who was doing all the things. She seated me as soon as she had everything in order for herself and it was nice location inside the establishment. There are outside seating too, but I was the only one so I guess inside was best. She immediately gave me a pitcher of ice cold water (which i love) and a menu. I ordered a breakfast bowl #3 with potatoes, red bell peppers, onions, eggs, hollandaise sauce , and spinach because they were out of Microgreens. I also ordered a pancake on the side. The food was delivered in good time. My only complaints are; that was the flattest pancake I've ever gotten. I think they must've over worked the batter. Also maybe dress the spinach with something before putting it on top of a hot dish? Chopped was ok, if it was wilted or steamed with some salt or oil would've put that dish to the top! All in all the food was ok, the service was wonderful and I hope they stay a bit longer. Can't wait to see what they do. read more

I love that there are diner-like options which are gluten free. The breakfast bowl has eggs and potatoes and micro greens and yummy sauce. Good local coffee. Place is small but had no trouble getting seated the two times I've visited. Easy street parking on side road next to cafe. read more

The service was friendly even though they were close to closing. I was sad that they no longer have the selection of gluten free donuts and the only option was the one donut with the Bloody Mary. The upside was the drink was great, the donut not so much. I enjoyed the large option of gluten free items and didn't have any cross contamination reactions (I am coeliac). I had the patty melt which was delicious. The rest of my Party had the biscuits and gravy which they said was delicious (a nice little spice due to the chorizo gravy) - it is not gluten free. The other guest had the burger which was very good and has a gluten free option too. Being GF it was nice to have so many delicious options. I'm just bummed about not being able to get more donuts. read more

An Eggs Benedict is an Eggs Benedict right? Well not if you add creamed spinach! You heard me, Frenchie's came up with a twist to the classic and instantly made it one of my favs. They also use thick ham steak rather than a thin sad slice of Canadian bacon and it is absolute genius. The hollandaise is light with the perfect amount of lemon and eggs poached perfectly. I like the home style potatoes with grilled onions, slightly crispy but not overdone. The service is friendly and the outdoor seating is perfect for a sunny morning. read more

There are so many places to choose from in Olympia, we selected the locally owned Frenchies on 4th for today's local adventure. This is actually the second time we have eaten here in as many weeks. The food was so good we had to come back a second time to verify its deliciousness! It is a medium sized eatery with adornment of French bull pictures all over the place, stylistically might I add. There is ample seating for 1-4 person groups I am sure they could accommodate larger parties if need be. And the service is top notch. I am very disappointed they did not recognize us since we were just there a week ago, however our server with the red hair made up for it with over producing in the service and nicety department lol. All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and approachable which always makes the meal that much more enjoyable. I ordered the half serving of the SOB (pictured). Best biscuits and gravy I've had in the area. I am a southern east coaster by birth, and always enjoy coming across a southern dish especially a good one! Not too thick nor too thin, with andouilles sausage and a small Kungfu kick on the back end of consumption. The pancake was buttery and crispy. I definitely enjoyed my meal, and have added this establishment to the will return list. You will not be disappointed! read more

The food, hot, fresh and they even serve Vegan Cheese (my personal fav as I can't have any dairy and it's always upsetting going to places and they don't have it). I loved the service, everyone is sooo chill and I appreciate them checking on you. The overall ambience was pretty awesome too, I'm alll about the vibes and love going on self dates, so bring a journal, bring your headphones and vibe out. Thanks Frenchie's on 4th!

Overall very impressed for a newer breakfast place! Definitely worth trying! read more

I tried Frenchie's on 4th for a weekday breakfast. Pros: some good things on the menu, including multiple vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. The breakfast bowl I got was excellent (I got the #3). Everyone I was with liked their food as well. The space has some cute photos up. In the middle: the vibe is hard to pin down and it looks a little unfinished inside. Mostly just kind of like it's still finding its footing. Cons: the coffee was some of the worst coffee I've had in a restaurant. It was burnt and not terribly hot. No spoons or sugar substitutes available. Several options on the menu sharpie'd out. These cons to me signal a place that is still not running quite smoothly. The final con is the price point. My bowl, coffee, and a 20% tip was just a smidge under $30. My bowl was on the smaller side for being $18. I'm fine paying that if other things are in order, but my expectation is that for $30 total, there shouldn't be these silly hiccups like no spoons (!) and no sugar substitutes (!!). read more

So excited for a new brunch place! Had the French toast (from sour dough) and spinach bacon cream cheese omlet special ... so good! 10$ mimosa with apple juice... 1$ refills? What? Yes! So good! The coffee was ok, but service was stellar! read more

A few of us stopped in today on our way back North. Absolutely do not recommend the food, or service. Not only was the food bland the service was horrendous. We love supporting small local businesses however the owners attitude is snarky, disingenuous and the way she spoke to staff was disgusting. Should have read reviews prior to wasting money here. Don't waste your money. Her demeanor is off extremely off-putting. I don't see this place being in business much longer with that attitude/service. read more

This place was pretty good. The food was tasty and great. Although I do have to say that this place left me craving for more options on their menu. Not the best place I've had but I would go here again. read more

We loved Frenchie's when it was a bakery, and we wanted to support their transition to a breakfast cafe even though we were sad that they stopped making their sourdough donuts. Husband got the breakfast smash burger meal and I did a half order of the biscuits and gravy. At the time we were seated and through most of our meal there were only about 4 other tables with customers, yet we heard the waitress complain in the back that she was "slammed". The food was good, prepped fresh, standard breakfast fare. The service was unfortunately not up to par. The waitress seemed like she didn't want to be there, was very short/abrupt with us, and almost seemed annoyed when we asked if the "greens" on the menu meant a salad or collard greens. I felt like it was a fair question since stuff like greens and grits can be found on other breakfast menus elsewhere? She barely cracked a smile the entire time we were there to the point that we felt uncomfortable...which is the total opposite vibe that used to be there before they re-opened. By the time we left there were more tables filling up with people so she told us she couldn't take our payment at the table and we would have to come up front since she was by herself, we didn't mind that at all. She did end up bringing the tap to pay machine over right before we were about to stand up and just dropped it off at our table. No thank you, no have a nice day, nothing. She just walked off. She never checked on us during the meal or asked if we needed anything even when there were only a few other tables with customers. To put it mildly, we felt very unwelcome, which made us sad since we thought it would be such a cute brunch spot to meet friends at. We wish them well on their new business endeavor, but we hope the service gets a tune-up before the summer season since I'm sure their patio will be slammed with people and their fur-babies. read more

The food was very well made, fresh, with fresh ingredients. We had burgers and sandwiches and they were all a hit. Highly recommend.

We ordered through DoorDash and got French toast, pancakes, and homestyle potatoes. The potatoes were incredibly tasty, while the French toast and pancakes were decent. Unfortunately, the French toast was missing the powdered sugar, and the food wasn't hot upon arrival (makes sense cuz if travel/pickup of driver). We'll definitely give this restaurant another try--but next time, we'll dine in. read more

One server, I felt like she didn't want us there. I ordered biscuits and gravy, very soupy. When the food was dropped off we were not offered ketchup or hot sauce. I got up to get it myself. I won't go back because the service was not very friendly. I liked my bloody mary. read more

Passing by Olympia on a family vacation. We pulled up a good place to eat breakfast. The food was delicious and hearty. They also offer GF and vegetarian options! You can tell the owner has a lot of pride in his food and place. He was serving food and connecting with everyone there. I would highly recommend if you are passing by or in the area. They have both outdoor and indoor dinning options. Check out the Elvis bathroom too! read more

Vibes were off. 2 of the workers spent more time giving flirty eyes to each other than giving refills of water. Saw one server actually hustling. Felt ignored and parched :/ avocado toast was kinda good tho. Also handing a bare straw over with bare hands is kinda crazy work read more
