There were definitely some hits and misses with this visit. The freshly squeezed orange juice was delicious, although there were two sizes listed and I wasn't asked which size I wanted--I was simply charged for the larger one. The service was quick, and there is both indoor and outdoor seating, which is a nice option. However, the order wasn't checked before it was brought out, so it arrived incomplete. The home fries were bland and came with raw peppers, which I wasn't expecting- should have been sautéed so the texture matched the potatoes. The French dip was unfortunately overcooked and dry, with a ton of onions that weren't mentioned on the menu (HUGE ISSUE bc he's allergic to onions!) We also requested horseradish sauce on the side, but it never came out. The cranberry-orange turkey salad was tasty, but the portion was on the small side. I substituted the turkey for the Southern crispy chicken, which came with an additional charge, and honestly, it wasn't worth the upcharge. Overall, there were some good elements, especially the fresh orange juice and salad, but several details could have been better. Quick service and a nice seating setup, but the food and attention to the order left something to be desired. read more

Unlike a lot of the restaurants now on this main drag. Frenchtown Cafe has been here for as long as I can remember - I don't know if it was in this EXACT location the whole time, but my childhood memories going back to the early 90s definitely included this. I grew up down the road in Milford, and our go-to restaurant in Frenchtown was always Napoli by the park, but I'm pretty sure we ended up here once or twice. Honestly? Wasn't the best on our most recent visit, and the sky-high reviews might be the result of an inflated tourist bump. I came here yesterday for lunch with one of my OG chums around 1:30, 2pmish. Despite it being a pretty meh weather day, the town was packed and loud, likely at least partially because Bastille Day was the next day (aka today as I'm writing this) - lot of French flags and perhaps a few more tourists than usual. Frenchtown is always pretty touristy on a summer Saturday though, to be fair. We chose Frenchtown Cafe because Piazzi next door was closed; and for me at least, it was nice to get some indoor seating away from the humidity and the high-decibel concert across the street. My first impressions, which were substantiated throughout our meal, was that there were a few too many tables packed into the restaurant, which I always consider a shameless money grab, especially if it's coming at the expense of the comfort of your customers. If it wasn't NYC-level/bumping up against your neighbor, it was close. And any time you happened to stand up, you had to be very careful/cognizant of your surroundings because more than likely, an employee or other customer was right behind you. In hindsight, would have advocated for the outdoor seating. I wasn't in the mood for a sandwich/melt, so I went with a plain hamburger and fries. Eh. The burger was clearly pre-made/frozen meat, and it was SUPER greasy. My chum got a melt, which was also dripping with grease. Hard to find selling points in your entrees when your paws are covered in a substance that's going to literally congeal into lard at some point if you don't clean them. Hard to pivot, but beyond that, the burger was at least cooked to my specifications (medium rare). The fries were by far the biggest selling point - perfectly crispy, just the way I like it. The service was just okay. Our waitress seemed very nice but wasn't the most attentive and beyond getting the check, never checked in to see how the food was. It WAS busy in there, but the waits for everything were a bit longer than they should have been. I doubt I'll be back any time soon, though I recall a lot of people coming here more for breakfast - that's probably the play if you're set on frequenting what was for us a mediocre establishment. read more

The food was good and so were the beverages. Between my friends and I we had one of the grain bowls, one of the sandwiches and one salad. I also tried the soup of the day which is the chicken corn chowder and I highly enjoyed it. It's a very small cafe and not much room to move about so when it's packed it gets pretty noisy. The couple things I want to note are around how long it was to wait for a table and food. We arrived in the area around 1125am and I called to place my name on the wait-list. Upon answering, the hostess informed me you have to place your name on the waitlist in person. No issue, I walked over to do this. Only to find out that the waitlist is monitored by Yelp, which can easily be done online. So that was very frustrating to see at the start. We then were told to wait 15-20 minutes. When we got to the front of the list, they then informed us that we needed to wait an additional 20-30 minutes as the kitchen needed to flip. This was very confusing and a big turn off. Eventually, I spoke with a woman who allowed us to come inside and sit down instead of waiting outside for over an hour. It would have been nice to know at the outset of this whole interaction that breakfast wasn't going to be an option and then it would be an hour before we could order and eat. At the end of the day, we ate our great food and enjoyed being able to dine at this place. I will just look into a few more places on my next visit here. read more

A decent cafe on Frenchtown main street with comfortable, standard fare options. We came here after the farmer's market for lunch, which really hit the spot. I had the Argentinian chicken sandwich with chips on the side. Simple and tasty lunch. read more

Frenchtown Cafe - Argentinian grilled chicken sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Frenchtown, New Jersey

Charming little café right on the main road--though be warned, it's not exactly quiet thanks to a constant parade of motorcycles. Bonus: it's BYOB, which is always a win. That said, we were served our drinks in paper cups because they were short on clean glasses--quirky, but forgivable. We chose to sit outside since it was such a gorgeous day, but the experience was a bit dampened by the swarm of gnats. They were relentless, even dive-bombing into our food and drinks, which was... less than ideal. Now, the real hero of the day: the food. My salmon? Spot-on--perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and gone way too fast. And the curry vinaigrette? Never had it, didn't know what to expect, but wow. Totally unexpected combo, and somehow it just worked. I wasn't planning to lick the plate, but let's just say it crossed my mind. Overall, it's a cute spot nestled in a charming little town with some nice shops--great for a day trip, especially if you're feeling patient and in the mood for a little character with your meal. read more

Good food well priced with great service. Since moving to the area about 6 months ago, we've become regulars.

It was a beautiful October morning when we came so we ate outside even though there were signs cautioning us about the bees. The inside was pretty full and smelled "diner-y. Dealing with the bees & flies wasn't that big of a deal- they just wanted some food, but they were definitely present. I ordered the "bliss" which was scrambled eggs & bacon with cream cheese on an English muffin. It was good. Filling. The potatoes it came with were cooked perfectly. read more

Very good service and comfortable outside dining. Menu somewhat limited but the food was very good.

We went here for breakfast on Father's Day (2026) and like most places they were PACKED. Despite that, we were greeted warmly and seated in the outdoor area which was perfect on such a beautiful morning. The waitress came shortly after and was friendly and efficient as could be--you would never know they were so busy! Our drinks and food arrived faster than we expected and were very good. The young man who came to clear our plates was friendly and personable. We will definitely be back. Whatever they are doing to train their staff they're doing it right! read more

We were driving through this adorable town and stopped into this cafe The ambiance was adorable, a typical small town charm spot The service was magnificent, we sat with Donna who was so friendly and helpful . She suggested a few plates and when we told her we were from out of town and were going hiking she grabbed another local who worked there that she knows hikes to tell us about some other spots to visit , we were really happy with the service here . The food .. I can't brag enough about how good it all was. My husband got the Patagonia tostadas , there were great, I ordered the rancheros which were spectacular, the flavor was just perfect. and then we split the Nutella French toast.. I'm not a French toast person and I was fighting my husband for the last piece ... yes, that good lol ! This spot is also a dog friendly spot, we were sat with no issues and they brought him water without having to even ask . I hope to be back !! read more

This is our go-to for excellent burgers - juicy & delish with many topping options! There is also outdoor seating on a nice day.

Food was excellent, service outstanding. Open breakfast and lunch. I recommend this place very highly read more

The Frenchtown cafe is a great place to stop if you are enjoying a day walking around the artsy town shopping, swimming, fishing , or tubing the Delaware, or taking a scenic ride along river road. We were seated quickly even on a busy day. The cafe is cute inside and has a great porch for outdoor seating. Our waitress , Raquelle, was fantastic! We tried a bunch of brunch foods but I only got pictures of 2!!! We were all so excited to dig in! Everyone was happy with their flavored iced coffees too! They have some nice, unusual things on their menu, including sweet potato home fries. read more

Small quaint cafe. It's the sister restaurant to one of our favorite breakfast places (Sky Cafe). Very busy on the weekends and holidays so make sure you join the waitlist rather than just standing in line. Service was efficient but a little brusque, not exactly friendly but then they were very busy. Most importantly the food: above average but not as good as the sister restaurant. Omelette ok but was missing the mushrooms requested, it was burned on the edges and was a bit greasy. French toast was above average but nothing special and the strawberries were starting to go brown. On top of everything else the toilet was broken. Maybe it was a bad day here but we'll stick to the Sky Cafe in future. read more

Stopped in for lunch and completely disappointed by the turkey club I was given! $17.99 for a petite little wrap is just out of this world!

The hardest thing I encountered at this restaurant was deciding what to eat. We showed up at the exact right moment and sat right away. Tables are nice and close so you can check out all the yummy food your neighbors are ordering. However that only made it harder! We got two dishes, a Benedict and an egg bowl and both were great. The ladies behind us got the chocolate pancake thing and damn I was jealous. Gotta watch the pants though, so I just tried to smell it as much as possible and leave it at that. Fantastic local joint, would definitely return. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, but unfortunately the service didn't meet the same standard. We felt a bit uncomfortable with the way the staff looked at us. We asked for mayonnaise when our food arrived, but never received it, even after we finished eating read more

Food- it is pretty good. My eggs were perfect. French toast was made with a regular bread which was a little dry. But Nutella covers all matters of bread sins. Service- friendly and attentive Parking- street parking available Value- It is good value for the money. Prices are quite reasonable Overall: This is a very cute place that should be a stop, a eatery that you keep coming back every now and then read more

Great food and prompt service!!! Highly recommend Frenchtown Cafe for breakfast or lunch.

I stooped into this lovely little place for breakfast the other day. I wasn't too hungry so I had a breakfast sandwich and coffee. Everything was delicious. I was sorry I didn't have the appetite for the Irish breakfast that was on special. Darcy, with whom I had a delightful morning chat. and the other servers were attentive and quick. If I lived in this lovely town, it would be hard not to come here often. read more

These folks are back! They were closed when there was damage to their place due to a nearby fire. But they are back and as good as ever. This is a local gem, worth a trip from miles away. The Main Street is a walkers paradise and is filled with cool little shops selling lots of unique art pieces and other temptations. Follow your walk with a sandwich or salad here. The also shine for brunch treats. Great atmosphere and they now have an outdoor patio so social distancing, mask free, is available. Good service, good food, this is a local gem. Go, you'll thank me later read more

My wife and I frequently take the beautiful twenty mile drive down the river for a wonderful conversation and meal at the French Town Cafe. The food is perfect and the service is friendly. "Lana" deserves special praise for a delightful personality, excellent service, and appearance similar to Barbara Stanwyck in the 1930s movies. I recommend this cafe strongly and hope it remains breakfast "sanctuary" for my wife and me. read more

I recently ate here for lunch and had an absolutely amazing experience. The restaurant has a wonderful vibe and cute decorations. The waitstaff was incredibly kind. Our waiter was super funny, which greatly improved the dining experience. I ordered the French Dip which was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be eating here again, and taking my wonderful family with me. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone with good taste! read more

Great food. Pleasant server. May be the best omelet I've ever had. Wish I lived closer, but it's well worth the trip.

World's best breakfast, right here in Frenchtown. The multi grain toast is worth the visit by itself. The eggs are always perfect.

We chose the cafe because it had gluten free options. It turned out to be partially true. They do have gluten free bread, but there's a high likelihood of cross contamination because everything is processed with shared cooking and toasting equipment. We found the cooked onions and peppers in the omelettes to be rather greasy. All in all quite mediocre. Though the servings were generous. The server must have been in training. She struggled to get things right. Maybe ESL? Nice girl, the chef actually came to our table to make sure we'd get what we wanted. The cafe itself is in a really nice spot, in a historic river town. Though seating was very tight. Five adults at a little round table that would have been comfortable for three. The large square plates covered virtually every inch of its surface. We opted to set condiments on the floor. I don't think we'll be back. Not terrible but not great. read more

Great service, wonderful omelette, prices so reasonable!!! We enjoyed ourselves. Can't go wrong!!

This is an old fave from growing up. Miss the old setup pre-fire, but they did a great job of preserving and restoring the overall atmosphere so it's pretty similar to what it was. Expect a significant wait on the weekends to get in (year round). Get the any of the French toast options and you will not be disappointed. This was one of the first places to adopt gfree bread a decade ago, so there are options if you have that allergy. BLTs are great too. Everything's delicious and it's a cozy spot, but you might be a little forced out by the high volume of people causing table turnover pressure, so don't expect to sit forever here on a Saturday or Sunday morning. read more

This cool cozy cafe is an outstanding place worth checking out. The inspired menu is creative and features top notch quality food and the coffee is fantastic. If I'm ever passing through the area I make it a point to stop by I've only been there about 5 times but am in love with their Cafe eggs Benedict Bfast and the cranberry turkey sandwich. The price is very reasonable and the food is fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is exceptional . The lady Lana is a true gem and always remembers how I like my order. I'd like to try more Sandwiches but am stuck on the same 2 that I get every time. Definitely one of the coolest places to grab lunch or breakfast in all the Delaware river towns. read more

Very quaint but bustling business. Seems to be the "go to" place for brunch. I had the corn soup special which was good, along with the tuna Niçoise salad. Truthfully, the tuna was way too fishy tasting for me so I switched with hubby who had same salad with salmon rather than tuna. This was perfect for me. I would definitely go back and try a burger next time, which looked delish read more

This is an adorable cafe in an adorable riverside town. The interior is cozy and retro. The staff is very attentive. I ordered an egg white omelette with spinach, onions and mushrooms, sweet potato hash with a side of kielbasa. The omelette was huge, fluffy and the ingredients were all fresh. The only thing I didn't like was that they seemed to use a flavored oil (possibly butter flavor) to cook the omelette and the flavor was so strong, it ruined the omelette for me. The hash was delicious though and I love that they have kielbasa as a side option. My husband got the Nutella French toast and it was a little plain/underwhelming that day. We've had it before and it's been better. We'll definitely be back to enjoy the ambiance and try other items on the menu. read more
